Democracy VS.. Oligarchy.
The People.

In appointing the assessors, Gov
,ernor Blanchard has, unwittingly,
afforded valuable object lessons
and contrasts between the Demo-
cratic and Oligarchic systems, bet
ter known as the appointive and
elective systems. He claims to
have deferred to the popular will
by appointing the nominees of the
primaries, with but one or two ex-
ceptions, which he claims to have
made for strong reasons, but which
are disputed by the people whose
expressed preference he has set
aside.
In persuing our exchanges We
have observed that every appoint
ment Of a primary nominee, has
elected expressions of appreciation
and satisfaction.
In contradistinction, notes of
protest and discomfort have arisen
in localities that have been treated
like conquered provinces in this
important matter, and where the
appointments have been made in
the kitchen cabinet style against
the continuation of which the peo-
pie have risen and protested en-
phatically, wherever and whenever
they were afforded a chance to do
it.
Historic and gallant old st. Mar
tin was one of the parishes whose
people were denied the opportuni-
ty to express their preferences in
the selection of the officer who
fixes the valuations for the taxa
tion of their property, and the st.
Martinville Messenger reveals the
method by which the selection
was made as follows:
"We learn on what We consider
good authority, that Mr.. Victor
Maraist, who was candidate for
the assessorship, was backed by
the whole Democratic machinery
Of the parish. His appointment
was recommended by the parish
executive committee, by the men,
Der of the State Central Commit
tee and by the two Representatives
of this parish, and yet, this was
not sufficient to Offset the private
influence that was making the
cause of Mr.. Guidry.
From a personal standpoint. Mr..
Guidry's appointment is a good
one, because he is gentleman
whom we have every. reason to be-
lieve, will make a good, courteous
officer. But from a political point
of vigw, his appointment was an
affront, an outrage inflicted upon
the Democracy of this parish, and
this action of the Governor, will
have the good effect of disorganiz-
ing that faction, as it has caused
30 much dissatisfaction among the
members of that faction, and the
public generally, that the opposi-
ton feel that public opinion is
turning from the ring in power"

The situation is serious and de-
mands the serious thought and con-
sideration of our most prominent
people. The problem of weevil
is not SO great at the present time
as the problem of keeping down
the production of the staple within
the consumption limit. Over pro-
duction means ruinous prices. At
the beginning of the present sea-
son, when the cotton crop was re-
ported and thought to be short,
the price held at fair figures,
paying price, but the moment the
estimate of the crop was made and
showed an over production, the
price kept going down until at this
time it is just about half of that of
the opening of the season. The
situation is serious and demands
serious consideration from the cot
ton planters-

BRUCE CARTWRIGHT, ESQ,
New York City, N. Y.
My Dear Sir-It is a fortunate cir !
cumstance that you have been able to
come to New York in the interests of
your clients. They will certainly APP
preciate the fact that you have been
willing to eXpend both time and money
so as to be able to speak with author I
ity and advise them judiciously
You have been given every facility
for looking into the Societys affairs
and you are now in a position fully to.
reassure your friends in Hawaii who
have invested in Equitable policies.
You can explain that there is, and
can be- no question as to the great
floncia| s,rcustt, and prosperous con-
dition of the Society. reform In the
interests of policy-holders has been iE-
augurated, and it is true that a coa-
trovcrsy has resulted, and that sJma
obstacles have been encountered. II Is
al7o true that many sensational and al
together misleading newspaper articles
have clOuded the issue in the minds of
those who are not fully informed of the
facts, but this should not awaken the
apprehension Of policy-holders.
The issue does not relate to the So
ciety's financial condition, but only to
certain details, (although essentially
important details), of it's administra-
ton. The SOciety's assets are intact,
and securely invested. It's surplus OF
eighty million dollars shows an in
crease of seven millions over the pre.
Vious year. And Notwithstanding IN,
fact that the Society has for mann
years paid policy-hoders a larger an.
nual sum in dividends than any Other
. company, the surplus continues to in.
crease.
In view of the facts, II would be IN.
fortunate If any of your clients, under
: a hasty impulse or on the strength o.
exaggerated rumors, should think O.

HAVE A CHILL
PEDALIAN
REPUBLICAN LEADERS SCAREY
OVER HOME RULE MEETINGS
BANDERLOG SAFEGUARDING.

Lorrin Andrews, chairman of the Re-
publican County committee, attended
the Home Rule campaign opening last
night, by way of learning what the
enemy was doing. Andrews said this
morning that he found quite a large
and enthusiastic gathering to listen to
the Home Rule orators. The Repub-
lican meetings so far have not been
marked by any very great enthusiasm
and some of the leaders have been hav-
ing a bit of a chill in their pedal ex-
tremities.
THE Home Rulers had a good crowd"
said Andrews, "and though they evil
IDENTIFY have a considerable strength,
do not think Republicans need to be
alarmed. The Home Rule speeches
are of the typical Home Rule kind. The
audiences are promised that the party
will provide jobs for all if it is sue
cessful, This is the old Home Rule
campaign cry, that Home Rulers are
the friends of the natives and will see
that every native mas a job and a good
time"
One reason for the smaller Republican
meetings may be in the fact that San
Johnson some time ago declared himself
out of politics" As the convention
| aud committee meetings have shown
this did not mean that Sam wouldn't d.
any politics at all, but it appears t
mean that he is no longer working vi
the meetings, and Sam is a wonder a
getting a crowd out for a campaign
| rally.

WOULDN'T SUPPORT
VIDA AND RAWLINS
ANDREWS AND JOHNSON DENY
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
WORKED FOR THE COMBINE.

Attorney General Andrews this morn
ing denied that his support to the Raw
lins-Vida ticket was ever promised by
him. According to a report of the
governors meeting with Vida, Rawlins
and others, at which the ticket was
discussed, the governor stated that If
placed in the field it would have the
support Of both Andrews and Sam
Johnson.
Il have never agreed to the support
Of any such ticket" said Andrews when
asked, land | do not believe that the
governor ever said 1 would support IT,

Sam Johnson also declared that he
was out for the straight Republican
ticket, and could not be induced to sup
port any outside candidates.

TIME ALLOWANCE
CAUSES TROUBLE
HOBRON AND MACFARLANE
WITHDRAW THEIR YACHTS
FROM RACE.

There has been hitch in the ar
rangements for the Governors Cup
yacht race round the island of Oahu.
Instead of four yachts starting there
event will accordingly be much less
ened.
AS originally planned the four yachts
to race were Hobron's Gladly, Macfar-
lanes La Paloma, Sorenson & Lyle's
Hawaii and Picker's Spray. Natural
ly the disparity in rig and rating call
ed for a handicap and the thankless
task of handlcapping fell to the lot of
the regatta committee Harry COuzens,
Leslie Scott and Jock Carter. After
taking the records of the boats into
| consideration and figuring the differ
ence between the square-root of the
load-water-line and the cubic contents
of the lee-scruppers, reduced to decS-
mails in six places, the committee de-
cided on the time allowance by putting
Gladys on scratch La Paloma was all
lowed 3 IA hours, Hawaii hours and
| Spray hours.
Hebron and Macfarlane both object
ed on the ground that the handieap
was too severe and negotiations failed
to bring about an Understanding.
Gladys and La Paloma have consc-
quently been withdrawn from the race
and Hawaii will consequently start as
scratch giving Commodore Pickers
! Spray an allowance of four hours. The
course will be up the leeward side OF
the island to Waialua, returning by
the windward side.
Conditions of the race to be sailed
around the Island of Oahu for the per-
petual trophy known as the Cover
nors Cup will be as follows
