Think of it! Four-ffths of the negro farm laborers of Jefferson county thrown upon the public charity. It would impoverish much wealthier section than this one. Perhaps in the course of five years time they would follow the example of their brother laborers in Texas, who, after living practically upon the bounty of their employers for many years. un- til employers themselves were bank rupt, were finally forced to emigrate to other fields of labor. Some of them found their way into the north ern tier of counties outside the weev ll-lnfected range and engaged perhaps in other lines of farming, but thou sands of them drfted into Louisiana and Mississippi. But the Arkansas laborer would probably have to look up some other line of business. for these fields are already overcrowded Emigration would depopulate the ru- ral districts, just as it has done in certain sections of Texas, and farm la Dor would become at premium Even the other crops of the county. such as corn, for instance, would suffer for lack of sufficient labor to gather it Thus would troubles multiply for the farmer, just as they have mutt piled in our sister state, and the Jefferson county planter would find himself in the same extremity that the Texas planter found himself in-staring ab. solute ruin face to face.

the Territory: This rule appears to be
universal, with the astounding excep-
ton of the TRANSPORTATION, storage and
use OF all explosives and infammable
oils. where the power of the board of
supervisors is absolute. | can see no
reason for this exception, or the adj
vantage of having each county act in
uependently of any other. and without
regard to the Territorial law in rela-
ton to such matters.
These objections, however, are minor.
The great difficulty is that the Terri
tory viii be hamperea, in that the col
lection of its whole revenue will be
placed in the hands of county officials,
the surety on which bonds may be
worthless, and who are beyond the
control of the Territory; our finances
ENDANGERED, our good faith and credit
injured.
To defer to the wishes of the people,
and accept responsibility for such a
measure would be clearly against the
plain duty l owe this Territory.

To the Legislature of the Territory
of Hawaii:
Herewith, | return Senate Bill No.
81, entitled can Act to amend Sec
tion 412 of the Revised Laws of Ha-
wall, winch l am unable to approve.
This bill relates to trespass of GER
tain animals, changes the present law,
and by its terms it will prevent the
Territory from taking up estrays on
any government land which is not en-
closed by renee three feet high. In
other words, it will legalize the graz
ing of cattle on all government lands
not fenced.
Unless the people are willing to be
taxed at a higher rate, the Territory
will be without funds to adequately
fence and protect the large tracts OF
unoccupied government land, and if it
is impossible to take up cattle that
are turned loose on them, the Terri
tory will be deprived of considerable
revenue, for the taking up of estrays
found on government land often re-
suits in an offer to lease or purchase
the land for grazing purposes.
The bill is unconstitutional, in that
it certainly Attempts, contrary to the
Organic Act, to amend and modify the
duties of land agents, as provided in
Sectlon II or the Lana Act or 1879,
which reads as follows:
1.-The powers and duties of sub
agents within their respective dis
tricts shall, SUBJECT to the control of
the commissioners and in addition to
those otherwise provided in this Act,
be as follows:
81. To prevent unlawful occupa
ton of or trespassing on public lands.
%. To cause all trespassers and
persons unIawfully occupying public
lands, and their effects. and all ami
mails trespassing on such lands to be
removed therefrom and such animals
to be impounded according to law

The vetoing of the County Bill by
Governor Carter and the subsequent
passage of it over his head by the SUP
stantial vote of % to 3 were the prin-
cipal events in the House of Represen-

The veto was brought down at 1880

Lilikalani was for overriding the

Aylett made a strong speech in which
he asked how long the people were go

Smith of Hilo was absent when the

Editor Advertiser: In reply to the
statement of the Rapid Transit Com
pany, in yesterdays paper, do not in
tend to enter into a controversy with
that company on what appears to me
to be an immaterial issue, brought for
ward by it for the purpose of Obscur-
ing the real issue in the case, towit:
that it has deliberately and wilfully
violated its franchise in regard to the
speed limit.
In Justice, however, to the members
of my department l Will repeat that
we never have solicited from the Rapid
Transit Company any passes or favors,
and that the only clash which, to my
knowledge, ever occurred between a
member of my department and the
company occurred several days subse-
ouent to the letter of Mr.. Holloway,
requiring the corporation to comply
with the law.
Prior to that time we had no knowl
edge that there had been any change
in the regulations of the company, as
to what class of special policemen
would be permitted to ride free, and
did not have any knowledge that Mr..
Holloway had completed an investi
CATION and was about to call upon our
department to prosecute the corpora
ton as a result of his findings.
| would further say that the mem
Der of my department who had the
trouble with the manager of the com
pany, had absolutely nothing to do
with the preparation and bringing of |
the present suit.

LIQUOR AMENDMENTS.

1t was the liquor bill as amended
by the Senate that was sprung on the
House OF Representatives yesterday
morning. The amendments, which have
already been reported in the Senate
proceedings, were numerous and the
bills own father would have had a

view to getting some sort of bill
through in time to avoid the pocket
veto, Kaniho moved that the House
concur in the Senate amendments.
Harris moved to defer consideration
until afternoon, motion which was
seconded by Smith, who said that he
wished to have time to read the
amendments so that he could cast an
intelligent vote.
Holstsiu moved that the bill be re-
fer"eG to TIE Conference Committee,
and Lilixtl;ni seconded the motion.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.--In a
vain effort to get information as to
the whereabouts Of over $4,000 OF de-
faulter Smiths stealing Leons. Brooks
was for four hours "sweated' by the
grand jury. She gave up no informa-
ton on this point but the full story of
Smiths flight was secured.
According to the woman, she left
San Francisco last March, went to
Hot Springs and returned here the
Saturday before Smiths flight.
On the following Thursday she took
the 4:30 o'clock boat to Oakland and
went into drawing room which Smith
had engaged on the Owl train. Smith
went to Oakland on the o'clock boat,
carrying the suit case in which at
least part of the stolen money Is sup
POSED to have been packed. They
went straight to Los Angeles, where
they remained but few hours, leav-
ing there for Chicago. When they ar
rived in Chicago Smith bought tickets
for New York and they took the train
for Manhattan the same evening.
They registered at the Hotel Ven-
dome as "Mr. and Mrs. B. Smith" and
were there two days when the New
York newspapers came out with the
defalcation story.
The woman then left for Hot Springs
and while there received a telegram
from Smith asking her to meet him
In st. Louis. From that point her
story Is unchanged.
She still declares that Smith did not
spend any excessive sums on her and
that she never received presents of
jewelry from him. She also claims
that he never confided in her and that
she knows nothing Of what was done
with the money he stole and has not
accounted for.
Foreman Andrews and the police be-
| lieve she had Smiths full confidence
and that she knows where much Of
the money is hidden.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, May 11.-Hugo r. Mey-
ers. professor of economics at the Uni
versity of Chicago, in addressing the
senior class today, severely criticised
the government control Of railroads and
industries, and municipal ownership
and operation. Prof. Meyers devoted
a number of years to careful study
of government ownership in Germany
and Switzerland and other European
countries. He said that wherever
government ownership had been at
tempted it had resulted in demoraliza-
ton and failure, for the reason that
a. great majority of the people would
not become interested in statesman
ship.
Prof. Meyers asserted that, while
successful business men, as rule, in
this country are interested in the gov
ernment, when 1t comes down to a
fine point of interesting men of af-
fairs and great ability in governmental
operation of industries, it cannot be
done. AS a consequence the manage
ment of these great public utilities un-
der governmental ownership is left
to inferior men. The speaker thought
that the way in which competent men
can be brought into this work is
through large salaries.
