Quotations.
AT KAILUA.

Il have just received a report from
Kailua to the effect that the Kailua
Sugar Company's lands are not at all
suffering from lack of water" said
Clinton ]. Hutchins, who represents
the stockholders, this morning. The
Kailua Sugar Company's lands are in
Kona, which is a part of the district
of Hawaii island in which drought is
doing some damage.
"The Kailua sugar lands are at 400
feet or so elevation" said Hutchins,
land the drought conditions have not
begun to affect them yet There is
plenty of water for cattle, and the cane
is doing finely. Along the shore, where
the drought is worse, there is not much
to be damaged"

ON A FORMER VISIT

Judge Henry +. HightOn, a longtime
friend of the Stanfords, and one of the
earliest notified of her death, in re-
Spouse to request from The Star
made the following statement:
For firty-siX years Mrs. Stanford had
been "A warm friend of mine and ! had
well known the Senator or the Coy
ernor" AS he was usually called, since
1880. 1t was partly by my advice that,
in 1862, | think he declined to be a can
didate for the L. 5. Senate, when John
CONFESS was elected. I had been in the
habit of visiting the family for num-
Der of years very frequently, but the
railroad enterprises developed, and l
was in much heavy litigation against
the railroad companies, and l ceased
my visit, not from any personal con-
siderations, but sOleJ- because it was
right. Whenever l met the Governor
and his wife, however, our relations
were very pleasant.
Shortly before l came to Honolulu,
where l arrived August End 1902, Mrs.
Stanford complained to my wife that I
had not called upon her and stated
that, for years, she had desired to see
me, as she had very important things
to say TO me. On her first visit to Ho-
nolulu after my arrival, kept an ap-
pointment with her at the Moana Ho-
tel, and she fully disclosed to me what
she had so long wanted to communi-
cate 1t related to the illness and death
of her son and to the establishment of
the Leland Stanford Junior University.
That is enough to say about the inter-
view which to me was ineXpressibly
painful. subsequently, when she pass
ed through Honolulu on her way to San
Francisco, l had another long CONVEX
sation with her.
Within two or three days after her
arrival, Mrs. Highton, to whom she had
become warmly attached, called upon
her at the Moana Hotel, and, that ev-
ening, described to me that Mrs. STAN
ford had confidentially informed her in
substance as follows: That delber-
ate attempt to poison her had been
made in Observation-Disclosures at San
Francisco or Palo Alto do not know;
that she had taken enough poison to
kill twenty persons; that an investiga-
ton was in progress; that suspicious
had attached to members of her own
household, consisting of ten or twelve
persons; and that, for these reasons,
she had come to Honolulu.
l had always regarded Mrs Stanford
as woman of remarkable intelligence,
of which my recent interviews with her
had supplied no evidence of any abate-
ment. She was deeply religious and,
naturally her piety was shown i'm her
conversations. ! cOncurred with Mrs.
Highton in the view that the matter of
the poisoning was probably a delusion
on the offspring of imagination. Mrs.
Highton, however urged me to call on
her, and / now feel that ! should have
done so sooner as Mrs. Stanford UNI
doubtedly would have told me what
ever was on her mind. l intended to
call this evening, but, shortly after
twelve last night, received information
by telephone of her death. | suggested
at once that her body should not be en-
balmed until after an investigation and
possibly, an autopsy,
This is substantially what ! feel au-
thorized to say.

SUES AGAIN

j. Alfred Magoon began another libel
suit against the Hawaiian Star News
paper Association, Limited, this morn
ing, alleging damages to his reputa-
ton in the community both individual
ly and as a lawyer to the extent of $780,
900, and in addition he asks $4,000 as
punitive and exemplary damages.
In this suit Magoon alleges as libel
Gus matter the two articles published
in yesterdays Star. One of these was
under the heading, "MagOon pays back
the $780," and the other was under the
heading THE Editorial Complained Of"
Both articles are set out in full in
MagOon's complaint together with
statements that they referred to him.
In the first article was included a part
of the remarks of Judge Gear in rem
dering a decision in the case of Dee vs.
Smith, and some of the testimony in
that case. The second article was a
republication of the editorial that APP
peared in the Star on Saturday.

THE RECIPROCITY CONGRESS.

Eastern commercial organizations are
reported to be taking a great deal of
interest in the reciprocity congress to be
held in Chicago next week and to which
they will send representatives. Accord
ing to New York paper there is a feel
ing that western men may dominate the
congress and that the east will not be
given proper consideration on the COM
mittees. Some of the eastern men, it
is stated, are opposed to having the
reciprocity question referred to one ma
tional committee, fearing that in that
case it would be practically dominated
by Chicago men. 1t is urged that each
section of the country has it's particular
interests which should be safeguarded,
and this can only be done by having
committees appointed of men from those
sections thoroughly conVersant with the
particular objects to be sought. There
fore these eastern people say they are
against any undue control Of the con-
ference by men from any one section
of the country and shall stand out
against any such control
1t is not probable that there will be
any serious difficulty on this score. The
organizations which are promoting the
conference, while for the most part
western. are not at all likely to ask more
than their proper share In its control.
Being anxious to advance the cause of
trade reciprocity in all sections of the
country, it is safe to say that they will
see the wisdom and expediency Of Civ
ing due consideration to every section.
The men who called the conference are
not seeking personal glory or any sec
tional advantage. Their purpose is to
interest all the people Of the country in
a policy which they believe to be neces-
sary to the maintenance and extension
of our foreign trade. 1t can therefore be
confidently predicted that the eastern
delegates to the congress, as well as AL
others, will receive due attention. There
is promise that the conference win be
largely attended and will be thoroughly
national in character.
Omaha daily bee., 1905-08-11

In the sparring match between the
Omaha senior yellow and the Lincoln
Junior Journal, the great majority of our
readers are not very much interested,
but they will be surprised to learn from
the late democratic candidate for con-
gress that the proof of his sincerity as
an advocate of municipal ownership may
be found in the fact that he is giving
continued support TO the movement for
the acquisition of the water works.
Without this, he declares with great
solemnity, Nipple and Howell could not
have been elected to the water board,
and water works acquisition would have
been blocked indefinitely. What a
whopper! Everybody in Omaha, at least,
If not in Lincoln, knows that provision
for the acquisition of the water works
was made in the original contract, which
authorized the city to purchase the plant
at the expiration of twenty years from
the completion of the works, and the
twenty years expired in 1908. Every
body familiar with the water works issue
knows also that the acquisition Of the
works was in progress before Howell
and Nipple had been projected into the
water board, and everybody familiar
with the campaign that terminated in
their election knows that 1t was in pur-
suance of a deal by which the Fonta-
nellie Novelties were to vote for the
democratic candidate for congress on
condition that the democratic vote would
be thrown solidly to Howell. 1t was
strictly a case Of reciprocity without the
slightest tinge of municipal ownership.
1t is also an open secret that part of this
rotten deal was that the democratic can
didate for congress and his organ were
to exert their influence to defeat mu-
nicipal ownership of public lighting at
| the very same election, while the electric
light company furnished the lubrlcator
for the election of Howell and axle
grease for the bogus reform machine
In such trihing matters it would seem
that history ought TO be kept straight

REPAYING FARNAM STREET.

Experience is sometimes costly
by this time than property owners of
Omaha who have paid special taxes for
street pavements. Some of our primi-
tive pavements were too good and most
Of them too bad. The Sioux Falls gran
ite with which Farnam street was paved
from Ninth to Eighteenth at cost of
from SO to 81 per square yard belongs
to the first class, and the wooden block
pavements that were extended over a
vast area during the boom period, be-
cause they were cheap, belong to the
latter class.
After twenty years of experience with
Sioux Falls granite, the consensus of
opinion of owners Of Farnam street
property is that while granite has met
all expectations in point of durability, it
has caused a diversion of a large amount
of retail traffic from the street and in
the end proved the most undesirable
from business point Of view. 1t is now
agreed by the great majority of men
interested in realty on Farnam street
that the time is at hand for repaving
that thoroughfare, at least above Thir-
teenth street, with asphaltum.
So far, however, the plan for repaving
has been in the hands Of paving con-
tractors and their agents rather than in
the hands OF the engineering department
and the property owners. The con-
tractors naturally prefer to repave the
street from curb to curb and that plan
is attractive to thoughtless people. A
second sober thought should, however,
convince them that 1t would be need
lessly expensive and in the end least
desirable. AS a matter Of protection
there should be at least six feet of
granite guttering on each side Of the
curb so as to prevent the destruction of
the pavement by standing horses and
also to afford a foOthold for horses dur
ing the winter season when the asphalt
is slippery. This applies particularly to
that part of Farnam street between Fif-
teenth and Seventeenth streets, where
the grades are steep. This suggestion,
however, does not contemplate that the
present cutters should remain, but
rather that a strip Of pavement six feet
wide on each side bordering on the curb
be relaid with stone blocks resting on a
concrete bed and cemented together so
as to make the guttering impervious to
water. Such a plan would cheaper the
COST in the end and at the same timp
afford all the opportunity for smooth
| travel.
incidentally the repaving of Farnam
street should also include that part of
the street occupied by the street railway
tracks, which should be made to corre-
spond as near as possible to the remain
ing part of the street

FILIPINO COMPLAINTS.

The visit of Secretary Taft to the
Philippines has given opportunity to the
Filipino provincial governors to submit
complaints regarding some Of the eX-
isting conditions. They make serious
charges against the eOnstabulary and
urge reforms in the municipal govern
ments. At a banquet of the governors
In Manila one OF them attacked the ad-
ministration OF Governor Wright, whom
he accused of not following Taft's pol
icy, which had been entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t appears that since Taft's de-
parture the Filipinos as a whole have
been dissatisfied, considering themselves
insuficiently represented In the govern
ment.
Secretary Taft went to the Philip
pines TO investigate conditions and it is
probable the result win be some changes
for the better. AS TO the complaints
Of the governors there is doubtless some
ground for them. That there have been
Omaha daily bee., 1905-08-11

abuses by the constabulary. composed
chiefly of natives, Is admitted on all
hands, but it is said that the govern
ment is making energetic efforts to
eliminate them. Complaint respecting
the administration Of Governor Wright
has probably very little justification. 1t
comes evidently from those who have
been disappointed in their efforts to OBJ
tain places in the public service. To
attempt to satisfy this element would
be an impossible task. Undoubtedly
there is room for reforms in the munlci-
pal governments, but there is good rea-
son to believe that these are steadily
improving.
There will always be some dissatisfied
people in the Philippines, especially
among those who seek to live by poll
tics, and complaints will be made from
time TO time. Generally, however, the
people appear to be contented and they
will become more so as the industries
and commerce of the islands are de-
yeloDed.
