| About a score of representatives OF
the large business houses and the
! banks assembled yesterday morning
on brief and informal notice from the
| legislation committee of the Chamber
| OF Commerce, at the offices of II
| Hackfeld & Co., Ltd.
Astounding rumors as to the purpose
and the proceedings OF the gathering,
| which quickly circulated in political
gossip. varied in tenor, and for some
time 1t was difficult to find anyone
who had been present who would talk
of the event. 1t soon became evident
| to an Advertiser reporter that the
reticence was not due to any pledge of
secrecy, but rather to a modest re-
luctance on the part of each one seen
to be quoted as the press agent OF a
very informal gathering, Once the ice
was broken, however. frank state
ment of the object of the meeting and
the nature of it's discussions was Civ
en- by a member of the committee.
What suggested the call" this gen.
tleman said, was the announcement
made this morning that new candi-
date for the Senate had been nomi-
mated Whether intended to split the
native vote or not, the nomination Of
so popular man as Mr. Beckley would
tend to that result.
Among the business men there IL a
strong feeling that the legislative cleo
ton is Of greater Importance than the
county election. II we have a legisla-
ture divided into warning factions,
without controlling and sensibly d.
rected majority. good and desirable
legislation cannot be expected.
wv. o. Smith made very good speech
at that meeting. He regretted as much
as anybody that county affairs must
be mingled with the campaign to OBJ
tain good Legislature, but as this
condition could not be helped they
must make the best OF II.
ITO gain the best possible results
all round, In the circumstances. he ad-
vised that one set of candidates ought
to be supported-in other words, the
straight Republican ticket. Otherwise
unfit men, unamenable to the discipline
of reason. might slip into the Legisla-
ture.
''Mr. Smith said that the Republican
ticket contained Il good choice OF rep
resentative native Hawaiians. 1t was
of very great Importance that good
faith should be kept with the natives
who had pledged their support to can
didates OF the white race. II a breach
of faith were made in this regard by
white voters now. Mr.. Smith warned
the meeting, nothing could be expect
ed two years hence but that the native |
voters would flock by themselves and |
produce deplorable race division in |
our politics.
Several followed Mr.. Smith with re-
marks. but no action was taken or res
olution presented
For my own part" the informant
II was strongly opposed at |
the beginning OF county government
to have the legislative and county cleo
lions held at the same time.
1T was objected by some large en-
ployers at the time that separate cleo
lions would cause loss OF two days.
If 1t cost two weeks OF time the cleo '.

AN OPEN LETTER !

Honolulu. October 81. 1906.

Honolulu October o. 1906
To Joseph Kalana, Esq.
Sir: l was at the meeting of the Re-
publican party, which was held at the
premises of the Kaumakapili church.
on Wednesday night, October "a A.
ID. 1906. In the course of your argu-
ment you stated that the voters ought
to vote for Charles f. Chillingworth
on the ground that said Chillingworth
had arrested me for gambling. l say
that you made false statements before
the voters, and said statements were
not supported by facts. 1t is true that
three others and myself were arrested
for gambling, but 1t was spite work,
and the case was dropped after all;
and also 1t was a bluff by the police
department to the Governor, while at
the same time the police department
detectives, officers and police were also
gambling publicly, and Charles F.
Chillingworth knew 1t. either directly
or indirectly. while he was holding
the position of Deputy Sheriff, and so
far as | am informed said Chilling
worth was gambling while he was
Deputy Sheriff.
How do you believe that your argu-
ment is a good one? / fail to know.
except that you might think that by
discreditlng me before the audience
you would get the votes for yourself
and Chillingworth; II so, your ability
as a legislator must be very limited.
And your argument was unwarranted
and ungentlemanly; It shows on the
face of 1t that you are not fit to be
a lawmaker.
hope during the rest OF the cam
paign you will improve on your
speeches. and would make your argyll
ments on proper courses.
I have the honor to be your obedient
servant. W. C. AEHI.

to adopt the first proposition of the
operators-a continuation of the
award Of the anthracite coal commits
sion, with the modification that the
term for which it is to continue shall
be mutually agreed upon. The opera

least three years.
Opinions vary regarding the advisa-

concerned, of what the convention did

On the one hand it is claimed that
Mitchell has won the victory of his
life; on the other it is averred that

Some of the miners are already pow
ertystricken owing to the five weeks
suspension. Many kinds of business
throughout the anthracite region are
depressed, while prosperity is report
ed in all other parts of the country,
and it will be boon hereabouts when
the mining troubles are settled.
The news that the convention had
decreed against a strike was received
with JOY throughout this region, al
though as yet there have been no dem
onstrations other than individual eX-
pressions.

Vine growers in France market fresh
outdoor grapes all winter by a new

grapes when ripe are cut so that a
piece of the vine five or six inches long
remains attached. A large number of
white-necked bottles filed with water
are placed in horizontal rows in racks
in a cellar, and the stem of the grapes
is placed in the mouth of the bottle,
while the grapes hang outside. The
grapes do not touch the water, but are
supplied with water through the stem.

Labor in Old Times.

Twelve hours in winter and Il in sum-
mer was a fair average days work. But
in Lyons in 1871 the printers worked
from two o'clock in the morning till
eight or nine in the evening. In
other trades the working hours were
often from four in the morning till
nine at. night or from five to ten.
Workers in the same meter generally
lived together in the same street.
But the maitre-artisan had his own
maison. The ground floor was his
shop or workshop; above was his bed
room, which was also the sitting and
eating room; a small room adjoining
accommodated his children, and above
was a garnet where various commodi-
ties were stored.-WCrk and Workers.
