AS TO THE MILITIA.

The militia appropriation bill is COM
ing into view again. Twenty thousand
dollars are wanted, exclusive of the
provision for the band. Since annex
alton the militia has had a great deal
of money for which it has given no
return. Not thing has happened since
the organization of Territorial Govern
ment here to require militia interior
ence; and when there was the eXpecta-
ton of crisis on the day of the
plague fire. five years ago, trouble was
prevented If any was designed, by the
prompt action of citizens and regular
troops.
Hawaii, as Territory, Is under the
pSttection of the United States forces.
Tne action of Colonel Mills in 1899
showed that the Federal Government
will permit no mob violence here.
Should Uncle Sam need volunteers he
would find more serviceable men among
the arms-bearing citizens, who have
been used to suppressing revolutions
in Hawaii, than among the perfectly
harmless aggregation of lei-crowned
guitarists who constitute the rank and
file OF the IN. c."
In the event of foreign war the de-
fence of Hawaii must rest with the
United States. If help is needed local
volunteer regiments may be formed as
| elsewhere. Even in States where they
have good militia volunteers get the
first call. Surely nobody would think
of entrusting the defence of anything
against hostile regular forces, to mill
J tia command. No
Should the local authorities hesitate
out of respect to tradition, to disbanG
the Territorial regiment, then they
should leave it to depend on the money

only lives on that now but spends par
of its allowance on pretty band instru

The $4,000 wanted by the militia
ought to go TO the anti-mosquito com

the DAY OF BURNS.


"A fig for those by law protected;
"Libertys glorious feast"
But that Is only a part OF the wide
love of humanity and of liberty that
characterized the writings of dear old
Robbie" Burns, The poet was not a
lawless man, although his soul revolt
ed at the forms of law that were made
to fetter the souls of the common peo-
pie that the privileged few might
thrive at the expense of the many.
Burns was Scotchman and a poet,
ahe poet of Scotland, but not the poet
of the Scots alone. He voiced pro-
test, very early, that has grown with
the growth of civilization. Like many
another to whom God has given the
poets gift, he held a torch to light the
way along the dark river of humanity
that was to come after him.
That he felt, and felt deeply the
reverence that must be in the soul OF
the true poet Is shown in his response
to the cotters summons to worship:
IAN atheists laughs poor exchange
For deity offended
Robert Burns was born on the 25th
of January. 1852 in a cottage about
Two IIllIeS ITOil Ayr, the ciuSSt SUI Va
a small farmer, William Burmese. of
Kincardineshire stock, who worked
hard, was a man of integrity, wished
to bring up his children in the fear of
God. but had to fight all his days
against a strong tide of adversely.
Says Carlyle, the best biographer of
Burns: 1.-THE poet was fortunate in his
father-a man of thoughtful, intense
character, as the best of our peasants
are, valuing knowledge. possessing
some. and open minded for more Had
he been ever so little richer, the whole
might have issued otherwise. But
poverty sunk the whole family even
below the reach of our cheap schools,
and Burns remained hard-worked
plough boy
Although poverty may have been
needed to ripen his genius, it ruined
his health and led him to give way to
temptations which largely wrecked his
life. And yet, out of that wreck has
come the voice that will live as long
as the world holds it's way through
space-the voice that is the voice for
all times and all men.
Burns had written his first verses of
note when he went to Irvine In 1871 to
learn his trade as flax dresser. 1t
was an unlucky affair. During a New
Year carousal, the shop took fire and
Burns, to use his own words, was
left, like true poet, without six
pence" From that time forward with
varying fortune, he followed the light
that was in him. until the current Of

published at Kilmarnock in June. 1855.
His literary triumph was instantane-
Gus, taking the country by storm, and
he was at once given place among the
literati of Edinburgh. He died on the
25th of July, 1896.

SELF SUPPORTING HOMES.

The interest that responsible young
married men are taking in the Palolo
valley villa site proposition will tend,
We hope, to induce the government to
open other tracts near the city on easy
terms. 1t is certain that the Palolo
public acreage, If given a fair valda-
ton, will be rapidly absorbed by a
good class of settlers. Nothing is
easier, near this city, than to make a
home pay the owner a fine cash rental
and leave him something besides for
improvements, to say nothing of the
reduction of his household expenses.
Forage grasses grow so well up the
valleys that they reduce the cost of
keeping a COW TO about IS a month;
and as milk sells at from 10 cents to
12h cents a quart and as a fair COW
should average ten quarts day. it Is
easy to see where the profit comes in.
Chickens, since the Advertisers sore
head cure made good are worth while
commercially and grapes, even at six
teen pounds for dollar. help out. On
a five acre tract vegetables for the
table and fruits for table use and sale,
make a marked difference in ones
living expenses. A young couple,
making the most of a five acre tract,
not neglecting a little nursery for rails
ing trees and shrubs for a semi-an-
nual auction, can pretty nearly sup
port themselves. Indeed, unless they
have extravagant tastes, they can
quite meet their living expenses and
lay the foundations of success in life

Yesterday was a red-letter day for
the farm policy. The strong stand
of the Merchants Association for di-
versihed agriculture was supplemented
by the good start of a $4,000 corpor-
alton, towards the creation of u rubber
industry. If rubber is success it will
be a splendid resource for the man
who owns one or two hundred acres
in the wet belts of the Islands. Pos
sibly the Territory, in its work of
forestation, could make rubber trees
source of revenue. A tree that makes
money for the public might just as
we'll be growing on the watersheds as
one that doesn't. In this connection II
may be noted that France and Spain
raise tobacco crops with marked ad
vantage to the State.

COMPROMISED.

Through the payment of $1,000
10y the complainants in the case of
the Fidelity and Deposit Co., Of
Maryland against ID. Il. Hudson ct
ais. that interesting litigation has
been closed.
The compromise was effected in

accepted was that in return for the
payment of $7, 7,000the Fidelity and
Deposit Co., should be relieved of
all further responsibility assurety
on the bond of d. G. Hudson, as
signee of the defunct bank, who
defaulted in the sum of $4,000.
The proposition was accepted and
the division of the money then
came mp for consideration.
The attorneys will receive about
81 4,031 20, which is to be deducted
from the $7 900. Whatever isleft
after dedncting half of the costs of
court is to be given to Clerk and
Master A..G. Mcdaniel to be used
in part payment to the other gener-
al creditors Of the bank. The re-
port continues:
"In return for the payment of the
$1,000, the Fidelity and Deposit
Co., is relieved of all further re-
sponsibility on the bond of Hud-
son, and all other creditors are en-
joined from entering any prosecu-|
tion against the company. 1t is
further expressly provided that
Hudson as assignee of the defunct
bank is not afforded any protection
by the compromise. He is not re-
leased of either his obligation to
creditors of the bank or to the de-
posit company nor is he exempted
from further civil and criminal
prosecution by either creditors or
company. So far as Hudson is con-
cerned there has been nochange
