JAIL ADDITION
WORK DELAYED

Work on the addition to the Jail has
been delayed by the failure of the iron
work to arrive. The structural iron is
not expected for several months and
it will be six months or a year before
the addition is completed.
High Sheriff Brown says that the
Jail is at present very much over
crowded. Although there are accom-
modations for only l240 prisoners, 314
are now confined there, and of these
thirty are compelled to sleep outside in
the workhouse, mattresses being fur

prisoners are kept in some of the cells,

makes it necessary to cut the number

ALTON B. PARKER.

Judge Alton b. Parker, whom the
New York Democrats will support for
the Presidential nomination of their
party, is not a national figure except
as he has been made one by talk about
his candidacy. His name is measured,
not by great services of State, but by
standards of availability as Vote-get-
ter. 1t happened, when he ran for the
Supreme Bench of New York that Re-
publicans did not vote very generally
for his opponent and his majority was
huge. BY virtue of such a majority,
received under somewhat similar cir
cumstances, Grover Cleveland, hitherto
a comparatively unknown man, became
President-so why not Parker? There
is nothing to distinguish the New York
jurst from fifty others or perhaps ooo
others save the fact that his political
opponents did not like the man he was
running against well enough to come
out and vote for him.
There was a time when the national
Democracy insisted on men of records
and IDEAS men of known views upon
public questions as their candidates Tor
President. The old line Democratic
Presidential acknowledgements were
nearly all veteran publicists or distin-
guished soldiers. In the new line the
names of Seymour, Tilden, Mcclellan
and Hancock are illustrious; and Cleve-
land after his first term mounted to
their plane. Bryan had done some con-
structive work when he came to the
front and every one knew his platform.

as to finance? What are his opinions
about the tariff? Is he an old school or
a new school Democrat when 1t comes
to Territorial expansion? People be-
lieve him to be conservative and doubt
less he is. But conservatism may come
from dizziness or timidity. Is 1t SO WIN
Judge Parker? Who knows?
The one argument for Parker Is that
he is safe. But safety has various
aspects. That fine ship is safe while
anchored in the harbor but If 1t stays
there always it will make nothing for
it's owners and eventually will rot
away The safest place for locomo-
tive is in the round-house, but the busi-
ness of the great machine is to clatter
along the track and haul traffic. A
general is safer in camp than on the
battlefield, but he is hired to fight.
People who do things in this world
must accept risks as Jackson did and
Lincoln did and as Cleveland did; not
sit in cloisters intent on being safe y
Roosevelt has been a man of action all
his life and what he has done for the
country, which is much, he has done

that conservatism which padlocks it's
lips for fear it may say something rash
and manacles it's legs lest it may wan
der from the trodden path. And that Is
why Roosevelt will be the next Presi-
dent if he lives.

EFFECT or THE BRUSSELS CONvEN.
TON ON SUGAR.

The article on the sugar business in
Jamaica, published herewith, sets forth
the deplorable condition of this busi-
ness in the smaller English colonies.
They are practically barred out of the
United States market by tffe high
tariff, while in London, the only free
market open to them, the price is so
low that there Is no margin of profit
They are further handicapped by low
yields from old worn out fields; poor
cultivation and out-of-date milling
plants The industry, which once made
the Jamaica sugar planter the syn
onym of wealth, has been steadily rum
ming down for the last twenty years or
so, until there Is but little left of it.
The planters have finally become dis
heartened and many estates have
abandoned sugar production and are
now raising bananas. The few re-
naming are following along the same
road.
The Brussels convention has as yet
brought Jamaica no relief. This is not
to be wondered at. tiGlt 20.
The beet sugar business of Europe
Is such a gigantic one that 1t cannot
be revolutionized in six months. Near
ly thirds of the worlds annual
output is from the beet fields of Europe
and it cannot be expected that this
gigantic industry will completely re-
adjust itself in one season.
The fact that a few months ex-
perience under the Brussels conven-
ton has not produced all the proph-
charging that it has accomplished
nothing.
The consumption of Europe is rapid
1y increasing by reason of the conven-
ton, and the output of beet sugar Is
decreasing by reason thereof.
When it is borne in mind that the
surplus sugar in the world, which is
sometimes referred to as enormous"
amounts after all to only a three
months supply, it does not take
very long continuance of decreased
production and increased consumption
to catch up with the surplus. When
the surplus disappears the price must
inevitably rise. A radical decrease in
the surplus and consequent PROBABLE
rise in price of sugar is still confident-
matters. The change will not be inn
mediate, but the factors to produce
this result are steadily at work.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM,

The Springfield Republican complains
that Admiral Walker objects to the APP
pointment of inspecting engineers and
other employees on the Panama canal
by the Civil Service Commission and
asks: "Why are civil service reform
ideas not applicable to the isthmus?'
We suppose that no one except an
old school campaign manager opposes
the system of appointment by merit
which was inaugurated by the civil SER
vice reformers fifteen or more years
ago. But very few practical men be-
lieve in taking from a bureau or office
chief the right to discharge an employe
at will. That is where the civil SER
vice laws work against discipline. The
incompetent or disobedient official takes
advantage of situation which gives
him the right of appeal from his chief;
and the chief, unable to get rid of an
undesirable man without stopping to
unroll yards of red tape, finds his au-
thority weakened in the meantime.
Admiral Walker, coming from SER
vice where one man power is all but
supreme and knowing what results may
be had from perfect discipline, is nat
urally opposed to giving the Canal
Commissions employees semi-inde-
pendent status. Such a thing would
never do aboard ship and it would go
badly in any great enterprise.

DELEGATION ADVERTISING.

When the Californians go to. ma
tional convention they carry along

perhaps, in a decorated coach, but as
individuals they are careful to appear
as American gentlemen. They do not
show themselves en- route or In the

boy costume but are as correct In their
attire and speech as are the delegates

waiians would get much notice II they

Man could equal them at either game

Territory best by showing that its
people, in their clothing, manners and
civilization, are like other Americans.

THOUGHT 1T
WAS THE THETIS

When the U. S. S. Supply was sighted
off KoIlo Head yesterday morning it
was thought that the long expected rev.
enue cutter Thets was outside. The
custom house was informed that it was
the cutter, and permission was obtained
to dock her at the naval wharf. Col
lector Stackable also went out in the
customs launch, but had not gone far
when he discovered that mistake had
been made. The Thetis is now twelve
days out from San Francisco and is
expected daily,
of guards from twenty-four to eigh-
teen, there is even more necessity than
ordinarily for additional prison room.
The overcrowding of the prison is due
to the confinement of large number
of vags, and of forty or fifty federal
prisoners.
The last legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the foundation
for a new prison, but no new site has
been selected as yet 1t is the inten-
ton to relocate the prison on tract
of government land further from the
center of town.

RUsslA's CRISIS.

In the presence Of the enemy and a
victorious enemy at that, the Russians
are changing their leaders In Man
churia. Alexieff has been forced TO
resign and a new man, possibly the
half-exiled Dragimaroff, possibly the
Car himself, will come to take his
place. Makaroff, who succeeded Starck
is dead and Skrydloff is on his way to
take command of the decimated fleet
Kuropatkin is already In the field
making his new dispositions. Thus
the men who have studied the Man
churian situation for years with the
view of combating Japan disappear,
and men who have the problem to I'M
rayel preside over Russia's fallen for
tunes. In such an emergency great
genius is needed: but in ordinary COM
manders past middle age, whose ener-
gy and vigilance the cankers of long
peace have impaired, what hope Is
there of finding a reincarnated Napo-
leon? Gloom, pessimism and con-
fusion prevail in the Russian camps.
What promise is there in the present
changes of confidence and discipline?

Hearst and wants to pledge the delega-
ton for him. Speaking as Republican
newspaper, the Advertiser would like
to see Hearst nominated against Roose-
welt but it anticipates that the general
reputation of the young candidate on
the mainland will, in the end. incline
the island democracy to go to the con-
vention unpledged. OF course the
spending of money here by Mr. Hearst
might turn things his way, but that
remains to be seen.

THE HOME RULERS,

The Home Rule party is slowly disin-
tegrating and it is only matter OF time
when it's membership will disappear in
the Republican and Democratic parties.
When this result occurs, the Territory
will be more American than it is now
and in the way of becoming q har-
monious factor in the general political
equation of the United States. Organ
lied to preserve Hawaiian traditions in
public affairs, particularly monarchical
ones, the Home Rule party was
hindrance to the development of the
Territory along American lines. Defeat
impaired it's vigor and humbled its
spirit and made things easier for those
who, for four years, have tried to
identify all native Hawaiians. for their
own good, with the American parties.
Hawaiians do we'll to realize that the
past is dead; that never again VIII Ha-
wall be ruled in the old way and for the
old purposes. 1t is of course hard to
forget what has gone before in govern
ment; but nothing is more Improbable
than to sit beside a political grave,
trying to galvanize buried policy into
life as the Home Rulers have been do
ing since 1900. 1t has protited them
nothing. Though their late leader went
to Congress he was a cipher there and
would have been one so long as he,
politically speaking, held aloof from
American politics. AS a Republican or
a Democrat he might have had some
standing; as Home Ruler he got
none. He 'fiocked by himself ike
Dandreary's blackbird and Congress
easily forgot him and was glad to.
The hope of Hawaii is to become sc
! fully identified with Americanism that
II can look for Statehood with all which
that implies in the way of appropria'
lions and influence, A long step to-
wards this goal viii have been taker
when the Home Rulers permit them
selves to be reconstructed on the Amer
