the HOME RULERS.

The Home Rule party seems to be in
its last gasp. Aside from kalauoka-
lani, who is losing his grip, the con-
vention was run by the weaklings of the
old Wilcox party and by the evicted
boodlers of the Republican organiZa-
ton. 1t was a kumalae, kupihea. Ma
kekau and Charles Motley gathering,
one hard to discuss seriously. one which
did not seem to have any hope of the
future and which, in the nomination, in
vited the ridicule of it's own member
ship.
The late Judge Estee once described
Governor Gage of California as the
smallest public man in the State except
a notary public" But Charles Motley,
the Home Rule nominee for Delegate
in Congress, would be dignified by such
comparison. 1t would bewIlder him to
know what to do to qualify himself for
so high an Office as notary public.
Considering the reasons why Motley
was dismissed from the Hilo Custom
House, his nomination yesterday by the
convicted kumalae was peculiarly fit
ting.

CLEANING OUT MOSQUITOES.

The case of the Anti Mosquito Com
mittee has been proven. Never in any
other year since the singing insects be-
came a pest has there been so few of
them as now. Formerly our only relief
came when strong trade winds carried
mosquitoes out to sea in swarms; but
the relief was only temporary, for all
the while myriads of these insects We're
being Matched. Science has now taken
hold of the breeding places and shown
every householder how he may protect
himself and his neghbors by either
killing the larvae with oil or drying up
the places where they propagate. In
proportion as the people have been
careful and the authorities vigilant, the
mosquito pest has been reduced or
eliminated.
The part of the Mosquito Com
mittee is to keep an eye on household
ers, show them what to do against mos
quitoes and how to do it, to remove tin
cans which may become insect nur-
series, to drain stagnant places, use oil
where necessary and encourage the use
in ponds of larvae-eating fish.
All this costs money as paid inspec-
tors have to be utilized. subscriptions
have been liberal in the past; let them
be no less so in future. A little money
invested in security from mosquitoes in
creases the comfort of residents and
tourists alike and safeguards health.
This city simply cannot afford to let the
work of the Anti-Mosquito Committee
lapse for lack of funds.

LOOKING FORWARD.

When the War Department gets
through with Honolulu this place will
enter upon new phase of its existence
that of great fortress like Malta and
st. Lucia. Things will be very different
with us then socially and every other
way. There will be many troops, deal
of gold braid much of the pomp and
circumstance of war and a large and
permanent addition to the money
spending and consuming population.
Inevitably the presence of the garrison
will add TO our tourist attractions, ell
courage farming-for part of the mill
tary defensive plan must be to make
Hawaii self-supporting-a keep the
hotels lively the year around.
Counting in the naval station, the
Scensus of Honolulu should be increased
by several thousand white men, women
and children. 1t is calculated that n
navy yard employing one thousand men,
mechanics, etc, would build up family
and trading population of five or six
thousand. The army garrison will be
large and its wants will inevitably at
tract business men here and multiply
industries. Malta, which is 17A miles
long by ga broad, contains population
of 10000, exclusive of British troops and
their families and there are $4,000 white
people living off the garrison and not
a part of 1t. one may see by this what
a fortified island, though a small one
means to trade. Hawaii, as the Amer.
lean Malta to come should profit cor
respondingly.
Brighter days are ahead, fellow.

FOUR CENT SUGAR.

Four cent sugar was reached yester-
day, showing how some things come
to those who wait. 1t has been pre-
dicted for two years; at last it has
arrived.
People talk of hard times, yet at four
cents the estimated crop of Hawaii this
year. 100000 tons, would bring the enor-
nous sum of sS2,OO0,OOO. About half OF
the crop, however, has been marketed
at a somewhat lower price, yet the
whole returns should exceed 49,, 00O,-
900.
While four cents will not be the daily
quotations, the chances are that the
price viii linger about there for good
while 10 come, the sugar conditions of
the world tending toward stiff mar
ket.

PROSPECTIVE NEW TRADE.

Residents of Honolulu who would con-
fer an agreeable surprise upon relatives
or friends living along any of the great
express routes have something new DIS
closed to them by the successful eX-
periments in shipping fresh fruit long
distances which have been recorded.
Hawaiian pineapples expressed to New
York City have arrived in good condi-
ton Something nice to send away, in
the interval between one Christmas and
another or at that season, is not the
important feature, however of this en-
terprise. If the business can be done
once it may be made regular thing,
so that Hawaiian pineapples, avocado
pears and other delicate fruits may
come to be an Indispensable feature of
hotel tables and railway dining cars
clear across the continent and up north
to embrace the transcontinental routes
of the Dominion.
To pave the way for such traffic,
however, small individual gift shipments
by our people would be of great value.
All who can afford the comparatively
moderate expense should embrace the
opportunity. That was happy thought
of Acting Governor Atkinson to have
a case of choice pineapples expressed
to President Roosevelt and his cabi-
net. The Tropic Fruit Co., Ltd, has
issued a circular offering its services in
the regard here mentioned, with scale
of prices f. o. b. at San Francisco for
pineapples of its own raising at Wahi-
ava. This is doing a great public ser
vice, when viewed in the light of de-
veloping a new export trade for Ra-
wall. In its circular the company
says:
I'VE have had six years experience
in shipping pineapples to the mainland,
sending as far east as Idaho, yet we
have never shipped any immature fruit.
Pineapples. like apples and pears, attain
maturity before rpening, and, when
packed at this stage, can be shipped
safely and arrive in good condition,
twelve to fourteen days after picking,
when packed and handled in a careful
manner"
1t is most gratifying to the Adver-
tiser, after its many years of advocacy
OF new industries, to be informed of a
substantial footing the Tropic Fruit Co.
has already gained for this enterprise.
There are standing orders upon its
books for fresh pineapples to be ship
ped regularly to fruiterers and hotels
In Southern California as well as in
San Francisco. The Bohemian Club of
San Francisco takes IA consignment or
the fruit every month. Now the sue
cess of trial shipment to New York
lately reported opens a vista of bright
prospects to the Hawaiian fruit indus
try generally.

THE JAPANESE FLEET.

The Impression that the Japanese
fleet has been badly weakened rests up
on it's avoidance of the Vladivostok
squadron and upon the reputed fact
that iunks, with cargoes of food, are
frequently entering Port Arthur. There
are also Russian reports of Japanese
naval losses to consider. Such losses
as have been admitted by Toxic are
not large in number, though they in
clude the Hatsuse, a vessel which rep
resented one-sixth of the naval Jap
anese line of battle. on the other hand
the Russians claim to have inflicted
damage of nearly fifty per cent and
there are correspondents who agree
with this estimate.
But IL is we'll not to jump at con-
illusions. Since the loss of the Hatsuse
by floating mine, ten miles off shore,
orders may well have been sent to Ad-
miral Togo TO keep away from the
vicinity of Port Arthur until the gem
eral assault by land requires his pres
ence there. Again, the knowledge that
these mines are about is calculated TO
keep the Russians in as well as the Jap
anese out. making 1t unnecessary for
Togo to do blockade work. Still fur
Their. the chance that the Baltic fleet
Will start for the Far East, has per-
haps led the japanese to husband their
naval resources with great care. Now
in regard to the Vladivostok incident,
the raid of Skrydloff's ships was
avowedly made for the purpose of
dra wing Togo from the Yellow Sea-or
at least a part of his fleet. 1t is always
we'll not to do what the enemy wants
DONE and if it was Togos judgment
to let the Nladivostok squadron alone
it has been justified by the fact that the
raiders did very small damage.

THE NAVAL SITUATION.

II is hard to understand the japanese
naval tactics except on the theory That

transports, is at work helping the army

time from that important work to chase

THE COUNTY AGITATION.

The opponents of a County Act can
not be fairly accused of antagonizng
American principles. Counties are not
American principles any more than
Louisiana parishes are. They are con-
yenieaces of government made neces-
sary where there are large populations
Or great areas; though in some large
populations, like those of Greater New
York and Washington, and In some
great areas. like that Of ALASKA, they
have either been eliminated or not IN
tro9uced at ALL In the Eastern states
they were growths rather than crea-
items: they came when people needed
them and not before. And when they
cease to be useful, as was the case
with New York, Kings, Queens, Rich
mond and part of Westminster coun-
ties in the Empire State, they are
abolished.
The position OF the Advertiser on
this question is American to the core.
This paper simply urges the old Amer
Jean way OF not establishing counties
until there is either population enough
10 need them and support them or the
sure prospect of such a population.
was doubtful enough on the County
question not to make such a form or
government mandatory here. 1t did
not say to Hawaiians as 1t might have
done, You shall erect counties! but
simply gave them permission to have
such luxuries If they could afford
them. Had there been any American
principle involved, Congress would
have acted as it did in the matter of
the postal and customs revenues and
given us counties wiily-nilly. But per-
haps Congress is "un-American' too.
Counties at the present time mean
greater burden than Hawaii can af-
ford without corresponding benefits.
They mean at least o1e-third increase
of taxation; yet it is all the people can
do to stand taxes as they are. Again,
they increase the ckances of official
delinquency and of that the people have
endured all they care to make good.
But one fair argument is made for
counties and this Is that each separate
district would have the Use of its own
funds, minus those deducted for the
Territory as a whole. Honolulu might
save by this because now it pays a
Part of the cost of administration on
all the other islands; but it would
lose by the general tax increase for
purely local purposes. AS for the rest
of the group an equitable division of
the tax money has already been pro-
posed by Governor Garter and it can
be made without county Intervention.
The promoters of County Government
are chiefly politicians and their dupes;
the opponents are the men who pay the
bills. 1t ought to be possible Cor the
taxpayers, especially Is they are ask
ed to meet the expenses of the COM
ing campaign, to influence the cod
ventions to go slow. In these times
Hawaii cannot afford to take on new
burdens. Eventually We must have
counties; but n period of several years
ought to elapse before anything is
done.
