Parker to he Elected.

The nomination of Judge Parker by
the Democrats seems now to be as cer-
tain as If it had already been made.
From the tenor OF Republican express
sionsl 1t seems equally certain that the
Republicans are grayely spp:ehensive
OF defeat. Judge Parker is an able,
safe and honest judge in New York; a
vigorous clearheaded, man M who
knows low to hold his tongue when
there is nothing to say. There is more
than a possibility of the election OF a
Democratic president ard vice presi.
dent. Roosevelt will be nominated
with unanimous reluctance by the Re-
publican Convention. His only real
friends are the radical" negroes and
postmasters in tho South and the
Trough Riders" of the West. Through
out the Central West and the Eastern
States he is trusted by nobody The
monied men fear him and the working
men suspect him. Under such condi-
lions the alignment of States like New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana, Illinois and West Virginia in
n Democratic column next November
is easily probable. Roosevelt will
surely be beaten by Parker in New
York. The other States named, with
the exception Of Illinois, are naturally
more bent towards Democracy than Is
New York.

Col. Crews Declinatiun.

Had Col. Grows listened to the ur-

have been no one can tell because
other strong candidates would have
been in the field. This, however, IS
certain. Col. Crews has hundreds of
strong friends In the county and de-

for his friends. He is always ready,
even in this advanced time of his life.

MILLIoNAIRE's POOR STOMACH.

The wOrn-out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded In the
public prints as a horrible example of
evil attendant on the possession of
great wealth. But m~illionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far more
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and ir-
digestion are rampant among these
people, and they suffer far worse tor
lures than the millionaire unless they
avail themselves Of a standard m: di-
cine like Green's August Flower,

Grover Is all Right,


In the lower house OF Congress last
Tuesday u discussion arose on the race
question and one Scott Of Kansas again
slatdered Ex.President Cleveland,
charging that he had entertained me-
groes.
Mr.. b, rtlett of Georgia sent to the
desk and had read q letter from ex-
President Cleveland dated March Ii,
1904, in repy to one from himself, de-
Watson of Georgia. The letter reads
"My Dear BARTLETT: L have received
q number of inquiries similar to yours
touching my invitation to Fred Doug
las to a wedding reception and signing
while governor of New York a bill
providing for mixed schools.
81 do not suppo g that Mr.. Tho mas

to believe either of the allegations

Their the fear of Mr.. Watson nor any one

was in favor Of maintaining separate
colored schools instead Of having them

"Grover Cleveland"
1t seems to THE ADVERTISER that
this letter should at least silence criti-
cisms on the part Of Southern men.
The ADVERTISER has been steadily
and constantly a Cleveland newspaper
since 1t passed to the present owner
ship In Angus! 1890 and this letter from
him to the Georgia Congressman was
not needed to strengthen the opinion Of
THE ADVERTISER. 1t had given no So
rious attention to the wildly prejudiced
Mr.. Watson. But the letter should be
read and needed by many others.
When Mr.. Cleveland was president
we had 40 negroes in Off e in the
South, With all proper celebrity white
men and Democrats were in STALLED here
In the post Office. The same was true
elsewhere. Whom Mr.. Cleveland was
reelected to the presidency, his first ap-
pointment was that of General Wade
Hampton as railroad commissioner.
Strange indeed Is it that our South
ern people have allowed designing
politicians who could not fuse Cleve-
land" to poison their minds against
this gr nd American citizen.

AFTER
THE DEMOCRATS
WANT LNTATION ON IAU-
KEA TICKET NOW THAT RE
PUBLICANS REFUSED THEM.

The Chinese voters to whom the Re-
publicans did not give a representative
on their ticket are now turning to the
Democrats, and will try to have their
man placed on the Democratic ticket
William Crawford, though not Chi
nese, is the man wanted, and the De-
mocrats will be asked to put him up.
In the Democratic caucus this evening
the matter of endorsing Cecil Brown
may be brought up. Browns state
ment that he is still a Republican puts
him out of it, in the opinion Of some De-
mocrats, though at the same time the
Republi cans do not admire Browns
style of Republican enthusiasm. In any
event there is much opposition to en-
dorsing him.
The holding back of most of those
who are named for the legislature con-
tinues to a feature of the Democra-
tic situation. Some of the members of
the party claim that the Republicans
have given them the chance of a life
time by the nominations which have
caused more or less Republican dissatis-
faction, especially in the Fifth and they
are after good candidates in the hope
of getting some Republican votes. But
most Of the good men see nothing in
the prospect and it will be hard for the
Democrats to put up a good ticket.

BIG HAND OPENINGS

WASHINGTON, Sept. Receipts
from public land entries during the last
fiscal wear will raise the federal recla-
nation fund to more than $23 100000.
The preliminary figures given out by
the commissioner of the general land
office last week place the total receipts
at the various land offices in the fiscal
period of 1904 at $6,795 1893, as against
$685. 61S in 1908.
Settlement on the public domain was
somewhat retarded last year by sew
eral causes. One of the most obvious
of these was the regulation of the in
terror department, which required that
all entries under the timber and stone
act should be inspected by a special
agent before issuance of title This
measure was taken ny Secretary Hitch
cock to prevent wholesale land frauds,
and it was in force during about three
I quarters of the last fiscal year.
! Another cause of the smaller number
of entries was the extensive withdrawal
of lands, ostensbly in the interest OF
the governencs forest reserve policy
but in reality Gin some cases) to stop
the ring of land grafters from carrying
on their operations pending the official
/ investigation which was instituted
! early in the year.
The significance Of the receipts from
public land sales is, of course, that
about n ne-tenths of all the collections
at land offices in arid and semi-arid
states ere covered into the federal re-
clamation fund. The act 9 congress
passed in 1902 provided that these re-
ceipts, beginning with the fiscal year
1901, should form a general fund to be
expended on irrigation projects in Ari-
iona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kan
sas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota Oklahoma, Ore

The steamer Mauna LOa arrived this
morning from her run to Hawaii and

but smaller list of passengers than
usual She brought SAB bags of SUI
gar and a quantity of fruits.
Prince Kuho, young Kalauokalani
and Archie Mahaulu returned from

of the progress made by the various
candidates on the Big Island vary.
Some reports are to the effect that Ku-
hio has met with marked success along
Kona while Iaukea has not been well
received. Iaukea went from Honuapo
to Kailua on the steamer. Kuhio had
a big meeting in Kailua yesterday and
Iaukea is also said to have been well
received there.
Purser Lloyd Conkling makes the fol-
lowing report of the trip: "On the
outward trip we had smooth seas with
little wind and occasional showers
along the Kona coast. Made Honuapo
and Punaluu Wednesday, landing G. H.
