COMING COUNTY CAMPAIGN.

The principle question to come be.
fore the voters of the Islands this year
is not yet known, but if Congress fails
to act upon the county matter and no
other way is found for putting the
system into successful operation, that
question will be paramount in the
campaign. Certain it is that majori-
ty OF the people Of the Territory are in
favor OF Tie system, in that it will de-
centralize government and place the
affairs of the people in their own
hands. The question should, then, be.
como the one great issue, and the fight
should be made with it as the cardinal
principle.

ton. The taxpayers of Hamakua are
Home Rulers, Democrats and RepuD-
llcans, but if they want to get to their
shipping towns with their products for
market they must belong to the party
headed by Mr. Carter. Their ideas
and ideals count for nothing. They
are compelled to pay their taxes, but
can have nothing in return unless they
back up Mr.. Carter and his henchmen.
1t seems to us that Hamakua has had
healthful lesson. They owe it to
themselves and to the other districts
Of the Islands to go to the polls and de-
prlve a man who would make such
proposition to citizens of as much of
his local power as possible.

The Advertiser compliments Sam

what has the new road supervisor been

a few trips around to find out just
where the streets of Honolulu are To-

principal plank in their platform. The
Home Rulers would almost certainly
endorse such a plank, and Republicans

In the sincerity of their party leaders

If those persons who pretended in the
last campaign to be in favor of county
government, only to betray their
friends later, could be forced to take
the negative side and the county gov
ernment forces could form some basis
of fusion and combined effort on the
other, the latter would have a COM

oft-repeated proposition that the peo.
pie desire to manage their own affairs.

The Democratic party in these ISL
ands is, perhaps, unqualiiiedly in favor
Of county government, and has a better
claim upon the right to take the lead
in the county government campaign
than any other party. 1t has this right
because it is more unanimous in favor
of the system and, again, because it is
the party OF national standing that is
combating the other national party
Republican, on the question. The Re-
publican party has been tried in the

TOPICS or 1HE DhY,

Pedro Rodrigues, the escaped con-
yict who was captured at Puuloa this
morning, was believed to be a double
Pedro but turned out to be single
Pedro after all. 1t was hard for the
police to understand how he could be
in EVA and in Honolulu at the same
time without being a double Pedro;
but it seems that he was really in town
last night and went to the Eva district
on the first train this morning.
Because an aspirant for promotion
is deemed unsatisfactory by The In
dependent, such person considers it
as compliment to be repeatedly spok-
en- of herein. Such a one is welcome
to think as he pleases for himself. If
he considers what we say in the light
of an advertisement of himself, that
proposition is up to the aspirant for
honors as well as to the Governor to
rectify and adjudicate, That person
is welcome to his own thoughts; yet,
for ourselves, we fail to see wherein
he is being advertised freely, just for
the sake of having him advertised.

little from the modern appliance. The

impetus to carry it round loop, after
which 1t runs up another incline to q

FAREWELL FOR THE
PRESENT..

With this issue the editorial and
business management of the SHEAF
is transferred to Gilbert Bede, who
has leased the paper for the coming
year. After nearly eighteen years
of labor as editor and manager
it is not without some regret
that we even temporarily retire
from the paper, but we have real
lied for some time that our work in
the postoffice has prevented us
from giving to the paper that atten-
tion which it's circulation and grow
ing business demands. For that
reason we have had in mind taking
this step for some time, as soon as
we could find a good man to place
at the helm. We think too much of
the SHEAF and it's readers, and have
too exalted an opinion OF the mission
of the country newspaper, toleaveit
in incompetent hands. Ebert
Bede, the lessee, is an experienced
newspaper man, and a man of edu-
cation and attainment, who, we can
assure our readers, will publish a
newsy, reliable and up-to-date
paper. By way: Of introduction, we
may state that he is the son of Con-
gresham j. Adam Bede, of the
Eighth Congressional District. We
bespeak for him the same hearty
support on the part of the business
men Of Warren, and all other pa
irons, as has been accorded us in
the past. In closing, we wish to
thank the numerous friends and
patrons of the SHEAF for all past
favors. Occasionally, perhaps, dur
ing the year, we may emerge from
the routine of departmental work
sufficiently to contribute something
to the columns of the paper, but, in
the meantime, farewell.

prize in Paris. Miss Fealy is one of
the most beautiful women on the

are delicately nodded and refined. It
is but few years ago that she, a
slip of girl, came out of the west
and began to vie for stage laurels
with older and more hardy women.
Her rise was swift, and to-day she
occupies an enviable position on the

marvels of beauty, and she has been
