Before entering now upon his
mad career of Czar, let Mr. Carter
study the history of these ielande
during the period from 1886 TO 1890.
In those days we met al experience
very similar to the one, which we
encountered yesterday. The white
people had become tired OF one
mar rule, which was supported by
powerful Hawaiian vote, and at
last they rebelled, changed the
constitution thereby depriving the
King of bis usurped prerogstives
End assumed control Of affairs them
seives.

Soon after followed the elsctien

party was knocked out, the people
being thoroughly disgusted with it's

The result of the election does no
credit to the voters of this Territory
and the result will bs regretted
many a time by many misguided
voier, before we meet again at the
ballot box. a one -mAn-powsr ia

it with vengeance, and, il the rs-

Hawaii will have to submit quietly
to Garter government; until an
honest election can be had, and the

May the day not be too far of.

The frat thing the haoles, drunk
with their easy victory, did vas to
ahov opeuly their hatred of the Ha,
waiiala, who wsre supplanted ia
Office with foraignega. After while
the Hawaiisns were deprived of
work by the government, and finally
the Kings authority under the con-
stitution was trampled upon, and
Hawaii found itself under the rule
OF one man, Thurston, instead OF
under one man the King. It did not
take the people long to find, that
they had jumped from the frying
pan into the fire, and they had been
wise, if they had left well enough
alone. In the Legislature there was
no opposition to watch the doings
oil the majority, there was no watch
dog to see that the interests of the
county wers protected, there was
no one to point out detection in
laws and measures proposed. The
result OF the session-then called
the best the country ever had
by the Gazette--was, that a very
voIuminous book of statutes was
added to the law library, and that
within year the Supreme Court
had declared several of the laws
unconstitutional, while others re-
main imperative to this day.

Tar POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Whether by fair means or foul the
result rsmsins, that the Republican
party here won sweeping victory
on oil the Islands yesterday. As to
the methods used in carrying out
eampaign, insugurated by the Gov
ernor aad his political allies, a great
] deal can be said, and, We trust, will
be said ct tbs proper time and in
the proper place. There was no
secrecy OF the ballot, but there was
such a brszsn display of intimida'
tion, direct and indirect; of fraud,
! ulsnt practices, which we are glad
TO say have never been seen in these
islands oven during the alleged
corrupt days usdsr the monarchy.
Accepting for the present the situa-
tion. let US consider, what the polit-
iesl outlook is today. We fnd the
Tsrritsry govsrned by Q mar, whose
ambitions, love OF power and lack of
discretion will evidently y prove detri-
mental to the best interests of the

Annexation has not improved
conditions here financially, politically
or morally. The seandalous methods
used by the Governors party yes
terday to gain control of the
Legislature, are every whit as bad,
as those adopted by the revolution

less manly and less reputable. Cor
ruption ran supreme yesterday, and
the good name of the Territory has
been dragged into the mire by the
Governor and his benchmen. 1t was
not difficult task to win an elec
tion for party, which had money
ad galore to spend for votes. which
had promises for rewards to offer to
any man, who would betray his

the authorities, had a machine,
which could crush before it all re-

Cables from Liverpool said that the
advance had been too rapid and that
heavy buying orders from America had
sustained prices. The lower local mar
ket was mainly due to profit taking by
satisfied longs. No new features de-
veloped. Although the news from the
belt continued unfavorable 1t failed to
arrest the downward trend of prices.
Prolit-taking from certain quarters be-
came more pronounced as the session
progressed, but 1t was offset by fresh
buying by longs. Toward noon a con-
siderable number of buying orders was
received from the country on crop de-
terioration. and also on the expectation
of a bullish bureau report Friday. The

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, Aug. 31.-The government
report should show a condition of
around SO per cent. Last month the
governments figures, as to improve
ments were almost identical with our
own. A government report of any
thing over so per cent, we believe to
be discounted. Cotton has been bought.
with view to it's showing below that
figure, and cotton has been sold in vol
ume on the expectation that it will
show above that figure. We should
say that very excited and irregular
market was probable Friday.
We do not believe. however, that
present prospects point to anything
less than bumper crop. OF course
should We have a bad autumn, and an
early frost, it would look different, but
as the matter stands, we cannot see
that there is anything in deteriora-
tion of s per cent. during August to
brighten sellers.
Gables, while Is points higher on flu
lures and Is higher on spots, were
considered disappointing and wire
houses with Southern connections were
very heavy sellers at the opening.
Prices showed remarkable resistance,
however, to pressure. In early after
noon it hardly looked as though the
bullish excitement was actually abat-
ing.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-09-01

Cotton futures took a tumble yes
terday and one that was almost as
sensational, so far as losses are con-
cerned, as was the rise of the previous
day New York closed at net loss
of from so to 36 points, while at New
Orleans the losses were even greater
amounting to from SO to A points.
Fluctuations were wide and the mar
ket was in rather an unsettled state
Liverpool closed to points up on
futures, and is points higher on spots.
In the local market spots opened at
113sc, good middling, an advance of
&c over the close of the day before,
but the falling futures market caused
both tone and prices to became easier,
the tone being quoted steady and quo
tations dropping to Ike. The mar
ket closed without further change.
The demand for spots was good and
sales We're reported amounting to 44S
bales. The receipts made another rec
ord for the new crop, amounting to
4677 bales.
In the f. o. b. business the mar
ket was quoted at the opening at
IL 5-l6c, basis good middlng At the
close the quotation was 11Ac, same
basis. Interior holders of cotton were
inclined TO ask a price for it that ex-
porters were unwilling to pay, with
the result that the business, while fair,
was not of so great a volume as has
been the case recently.

WARE & LELAND
Says Its a Nervous Market and Needs
Watching.

New York. Aug. 31.-The market
eased off to-day on profit-taking and
bear hammering. A great many who
were short sold to break the market
and get in their cotton. AS the local
market ran UP very rapidly yesterday
d set back was quite to be expected
After selling at IL. 15c, prices worked
back to 1075c. a break of 40 points.
The previous decline amounted to 40
points from 10.91c back to 10 SOC. For
this reason the play would appear to
be to buy on any break from 10A cents
on the theory that the decline will not
go much further before the monthly
report on Friday Fluctuations are
likely to he exciting and little cratic.
The bad weather in Texas will soon be-
come prominent again and this may
end in another rush of shorts to cover.
The market is in that position that we
don't want to be short at the moment
There is no pressure of cotton yet and
shorts are very nervous when prices
rush up. But it's a nervous market
and one to be watched carefully.

DEMERE q HAMMOND's


New York. Aug. 31.-The first re-
Spouse of Liverpool this morning fully
met our big rise of yesterday, but there
was so much selling, largely for
American accounts, that part of the
gain was lost and prices there dropped
to a basis equal to a decline of 20
points here Throughout the day our
market was subjected to extremely
heavy selling. Certain Texas inter-
ests who have been bulling the mar
ket for the past month very success
fully, were free sellers here and in
New Orleans. The leading bull QocaD
was also suspected OF helping the
market down for the purpose of get
ting it back to as low a level as pos
sible. so as to buy in the cotton sold
yesterday at the bottom, and get in
shape to give the market another up
ward twist In our judgment, based
on close observation, the big selling
to-day represents a scalping operation
by very large interests, who will
be equally ready to buy back on any
further decline, or should anything
new develop to cause them to take
alarm. Such operations do not change
in any way the underlying situation,
which for the moment is bullish. There
is no doubt that the large short in
terest was covered yesterday, and
therefore that the market was to a
large degree weakened, but the man
ner in which the enormous offerings
were absorbed shows that the market
has large buying resistance and sug-
gests that danger of too heavy COM
mitments on the short side until such
time as weakness shall develop in the
spot situation. So far there is no evil
dence of the latter. Our advices from
the interior state that all first re-
ceipts are taken up rapidly at full
prices. OF course the time may come
when the cotton offered for sale will
exceed the needs of buyers. When
that point is reached there will be a
chance to take the short side with

does not seem to know what to eX-
pect.
Resins, in sharp contract to spirits,
not only maintain their tone, but con-
tinue to climb higher. The market
opened firm and at an advance of SC
on X and above and one of 212c
on F. and below The close was firm
and unchanged, but in the post mar
ket business all offerings were taken
by buyers at an increased price of SC
on H and above. The receipts were
zoos barrels, and the exports none.
New York was quoted quiet at $40.
