a meeting Of the Medical Association
for the third district.
Not many may be aware OF the
fact, but it is true, nevertheless, that
out county poor farm has a little bet
ter than paid its own way the past
three years. This is a good showing
when it is remembered that the poor
farm is comparatively a new venture,
that at frat ii was not properly stock
ed and that it takes time to put such
q farm on a self-supporting basis.
Not only has the farm paid it's own
way, but that maintenance includes
the keeping OF several county
charges. Still this is not the only
benefit derived. Before the farm
was established the aid asked for
"poor" was something enormous. At
first there was d certain class that
thought county aid could still be
obtained for the asking, but when it
was found that county aid meant the
poor farm for them, they ceased the
attempt at graft and have since bsen
self-supporting. One man the other
day mentioned three individuals that
be remembered of and stated that
under the old plan it would have
cost the county over 100000 to
board them the past three years, but
the poor farm was too much for them
and they have hustled their own liv-
ing during that time. As our county
grows older there will be a heavier
demand on this institution and we
doubt If it will be equal to the DC
casion. The facilities are now limit
ed. 1t is for this reason that the
county commissioners thought it adj
visable to submit to the voters the
proposition to buy two additional
quarter-sections. Heretofore land
has been rented for pasture, but
school land is raising in value and
the rentals are going higher each
ysor. Soon it will be impossible to
rent sufficient land on a profitable
basis. W. think it would be a wise
move to purchase more land at this
tima-Tha county will hauA uaa for
It, and it can never be had at a lower
price than right now. South Da-
kota land is q good financial invest,
ment for the public as we'll as for In
diyiduals. The proposed tax levy
Of one-twentieth Of on per cent. per
annum for four years is a nero
nothlng in the way of an increased
tax. To limit the capacity Of the
poor farm is to invite an annual ex-
pence that would far exceed that
which this purchase would involve
for four years, From either side you
look upon this proposition. II Is

to destroy the Koreitz, so her crew
was taken off and the vessel blown
up. The mail teamer burnt and
sank.
1.-THE foreign men-of-war sent
their boats out for the purpose of
rescuing the Russian sailors from
the various ships. The boats from
the Vicksburg were sent out, but
they did not pick up any Of the
men. The Russian sailors and Off
GERS were distributed about on the
other warships hat were in port.
This action on the part of the for
eign commanders later caused con-
siderable of a mix.up, for, after the
Russian vessels were destroyed, the
commander of the japanese navy
sent in a demand that the men be
surrendered as prisoners of war to
him. This demand was refused by
the foreign vessels. Captain Mar
shall, the commander of the Amer
lean vessel, had foreseen that some
complication might ensue as the re-
suit Of the rescue of the men and
the attempt to hold them, so he had
not been a party to the decision by
the other commanders TO refuse to
surrender the prisoners. The mat
ter was undetermined for some days
until the commanders could be adj
vised by their governments.
1T was claimed that the japanese
did wrong in attacking the Russians
in a neutral port. The Japanese had
probably drawn up their vessels out
side of the harbor line of Chemul-
pc, but they did not let the Rus
slams get out, and the Russian YES
sells were practically inside the har-
Dor of Chemulpo when the fight
occurred. 1t was subsequently de-
cided by the various governments
that they would hold the rescued
Russians until the end of the war.
Those taken by the Talbot will be
sent to the British settlement at
Hong Kong, the French to Saigon
and the Germans to Kiao-Chow.
The German vessel did not arrive,
however, until a day or so after the
fight"

Gehr Returns From Washington.

of Kohala ditch fame returned from
Washington yesterday OH the China.
Gehr went to the capitol for an
order to stop the sale of the Kohola
ditch at auction, but the Secretary
Of Interior refused his request, hold
ing to the former opinion that the
Territorial government had the
right to dispose of the lease without
the interference of the United States.
Mr.. Gehr said yesterday, 81 have

1t is said that Gehr will make an
attempt to prevent the sale when
the lease is offered at auction.
Whether this will be by legal means
or otherwise is not known.

A Reckless PAYMENT.

According to the Kelly kan
Reporter it does not pay to be
facetious. 1t relates that a lawyer
in a Southern Kansas town recently
received a note for collection against
a wealthy business man. The note
was outlawed, because the business
man had not always been in a
position where the debt could be
collected from him. The lawyer
wrote him that as he was now able
to pay he ought to do so. The
business man replied that he refused
to pay the note, but if the holder
was i'll need he would contribute,
and inclosed a bread check. The
lawyer credited the note with the
value of the check, which renews
the note under the laws of this state,
and he will now proceed to collec,
the note, with interest. 1t is pres
umed that the business man has
learned something.

inferred from the following circum-
stances OF his capture:
He was taken by a Porto kican
officer at Waipunal /, near Laupahoe-
hoe, last Sunday. He was arraigned
before Judge Richard at Laupahoe-
hoe as a common vag with no visi-

ignorance of Lopez's bad qualities
made all the proceedings tame. Or
it may be that with Solomon.like
wisdom they chose to convince the
great outlaw that he was nothing
more than a harmless vagrant, with
occasional uncomfortable impulses to
carve his fellow men with cane
knives.

A Comm unication.
Mountain View. Hawaii,


Editor TRIBUNE: Generally the
people Of Hawaii are astonished to
find that the Territory is broke"
and begging. 1t is not hard to ac-
count for. The causes which have
produced the effect should have
been removed a, the proper time.
Dole should never have been APP
pointed Governor. He vas a fail
ure as manager and 6nancier long
before the passage of the Organic
Act. 1t is now a question as to
whether or not Carter can rise
above his surroundings. In my
opinion he cannot. You may search
the Senate Journals in vain to find
a case wherein Carter opposed by
voice or vote any one of the many
existing evils to which this Terri
tory fell heir at its birth.
However, l am willing to give
him a chance to redeem himself,
and many citizens all over the Ter
ritory are, no doubt, watching to
see what his policy is before passing
judgment upon him.
l have always held that salaries
in this Territory are far too high
and out of all proportion to every
thing else. Salaries should be re-
duced rs per cent. on general prin-
ciples and cut to stay. The Cover
nor now recommends that salaries
should be reduced 20 per cent.
Why did he not so advise when he
was a member of the Senate? He
now advocates cutting incidentals.
Why did he not so advise when he
was a member of the Senate? Then
he voted for incidentals galore.
There should be no such word as
i%ncidentals or any synonymous term
used in an appropriation bill.
Is Governor Carter now going tc
advocate what Senator Carter failed
to advocate? That's the question.
Is he going to advocate that the
public lands be turned over to the
Federal Government. thereby re
iieving the Territory OF. the enor

truding in imitation of that of the most
correct type of bulldog. Miss Perry 8

"Shall l send Pat to his seat? she in

dimpling brightly.
MIR. OQuinn's brow cleared little. He
dropped his hand-it looked like bunch
of sausages. imperfectly separated and a
notified yeflow-blue in color-from his
sons shoulder. The released Pat, taking
this apparently as a command, slouched
into the dressing room and out to his seat,
his expression that conventionally assigned
to the cock of the walk. He threw himself
into his chair and sank down into it, his
legs sprawling out in the aisle, his hands
in his pockets.
Miss Perry took no notice Of this.
Won't you have a seat?" she begged her
visitor, prettily.
Mr.. O'Quinn assented with a grunt, and
she followed i'm the wake Of his lordly
stride to the platform. He compressed his
bulk into the visitors chair. From this
altitude he surveyed the class haughtily.

AT PEACE WITH THE WORLD.
Under his guidance we find ourselves at
peace with all the world. and never were
we more respected or our wishes more re-
garded by foreign nations.
PreemInently successful in regard to
our foreign relations, he has been equally
fortunate In dealing with domestic oues-
tions. The country has known that the
public credit and the National currency
were absolutely safe in the hands of his
Administration. In the enforcement of the
laws ne has shown not only courage, but
the wisdom which understands that TO per-
NIT laws to be violated or disregarded
opens the door to anarchv while the inst
enforcement of the law is the soundest con-
servatism. He has held firmly to the fun
damentai American doctrine that all men
must obey the law; that there must be no
distinction between rich and poor, be-
tween strong and weak, but that justice
ana equal protection under the law must
be secured to every citizen without regard
to race. creed or condition.
His Administration has been through
out vigorous and honorable high-minded
and patriotic. We commend ii without
reservation to the considerate judgment Of
the American people.
