AN OPEN LETTER
FROM A, N. BROWN

To My Fellow Citizens and Friends:
In view of the character of the cam
paign now being conducted against
me by the Advertiser" with the avow-
ed object of defeating me at any cost
and by every possible means in the
election for County Sheriff on the 9Th
of November next, l feel it duty to
myself, my family and to those friends,
who know me and are standing by me
in this bitter and unfair attack, to APP
peal to you individually for your sup
port at the coming election.
I solicit your support on my record
as man and an official.
l appeal to you as man to man for
fair play.
The Republican Party has honored
me with its unanimous nomination and
as the candidate of that Party 1 should
receive the support of members of the
Republican Party.
My record as a man and as an Off
cial will, upon fair and impartial scru-
tiny, commend me to every candid
person as worthy of his support. l as
sert, and statistics will bear me out,
/ population, is more orderly and that
/ less crime is committed or goes I'M
punished than i'm any city of the Unit
ed States Notwithstanding our seaport
situation and mixture of races Tour
| lists and strangers invariably are i'm
pressed with the orderly appearance Of
our city.
| My record for several years past has
been subjected to the most rigid scru-
tiny that hate and malice can inspire,
and 1 submit that the results are my
complete vndication.
I ask fair play. The Advertiser" in
/ its campaign of abuse and invective
/ has formulated and can formulate no
charges against me, It's attack on me
consist Of generalities and trivialities:
It's weakness is shown by the attack
/ on me for using a wise discretion in
the release of simple DRINKS after So
bering up for a night in the station
discretion universally practiced by
/ the police throughout the world. Its
attacks on me are prejudiced and I'M
fair; this is illustrated by. its failure
to give credit for the arrest of the
Porto Rican, COLON, burglar and
would-be murderer, although this ar
rest was made while its columns We're
filed with unsupported assertions of
the incompetency of the police depart
ment.
The advertiser" with its rule or
ruin policy has determined by every
means fair or foul to defeat me and
elect Iaukea as Sheriff; to ruin me
socially and politically in the commun-
ity where I have lived my entire life
and where for the twelve years last
past have lived up to my oath of
office and to my obligations as man
Believing that you do not and viii not
endorse the campaign of Islander and
abuse now being made against me-
and believing that my record Is such
as entities me to solicit your support. ]
again ask you as the nominee of the
Republican Party for your vote for
myself and all those associated with
me on the Republican Ticket.
! am, yours very respectfully
A. M. BROWN.

ABLE-THE KUHIA CASE.
Honolulu, November 9Th. 1906.


To the Editor of The Hawaiian star.
Sir:-The star" and other papers in
Honolulu, pradade my name, day by
day, as if l were a Shylock or a usur-
err. This libellous charge is false as
could have been readily ascertained by
investigation. 1t is true that, for some
years, l have lent money to Hawaii
ans and ether employees, at rates of
interest, always within the law. 1t is
also true that through tricks and
schemes, such as the use of the bank
rupt act, l have lost money on the in
Vestment, and only desire to get out of
the business. The interest on my loans,
even when 1 was not defrauded of the
principal, has never compensated me
for the work, the annoyance and the
expense of collection. Ten per cent per
month loans are unknown to me. l
have been contented with one or two
per cent.
In the case of William Kuhia, given
So much prominence IN the Star" of
Saturday, you print his language i'm
quotation marks With the original
transaction to which he alludes l have
no connection whatever and only learn
ed of it on Saturday last l bought
Kuhia's note from w. L. Peterson and
paid him for it. Afterwards I had
judgment against Kuhia, upon which
thirty-five to forty dollars have been
collected, out of which expenses are to
be deducted Now the balance is to
be paid through bankruptcy proceed
ings.
This is a fair specimen of the "in-
surious transactions" that have been
untruthfully connected with my name
I would like editors and reporters Ia
understand that I have a family and
have worked hard, with my hands and
brains, for what little capital have
that I claim to be a law abiding and
fair dealing American citizen, having
the confidence of solid business mer
in Honolulu; that my reputation is as
dear to me as their own, and that
do not intend to submit to libellous
publications. c. S. MARTIN.

If there is evidence for an indictment
against this defendant and he is ready
to go to trial now
Prossor replied that it was an unheard
Of proceeding to force such case to
trial i'm a time Of great political excite
ment 1t would be impossible to get a
fair trial just on the eve of election, the
case being of political nature. He
would be ready to proceed with the trial
on the day after election.
Gear again kicked. He said that po-
litical excitement had not been con-
sidercd when the indictment was
brought, just on the eve of election.
Judge Robinson refused a continu-
ance, referring to the fact that the case
had been assigned to him by Judge
Lindsay, I'm order that there might be
a trial. Whether the case is political
or not 1 do not know said the judge,
"the charge is perjury"
Prosser then entered a nolle prosequi
and the defendant was discharged. This
alleged perjury consisted in registering
from Kakaako. Gear said he objected
TO the nolIe pros but couldn't stop it
He added that an effort would be made
to make some one pay for the unjust in
dictmcnt.

No Antarctic Animals

There are no land Mammals prop erly so called. within the Antarctic circle. There are no south polar bears; there are no Antarctic foxes; there are no large mammals of any sort or kind save whales, which live entirely in the water, and seals which spend more than half their time there.
 "The Antarctic continent now boasts of a vegetation which includes a few low forms of moss and lichen, and a terrestrial fauna which consists of one minute and primitive form of wingless insect. Of the whales and seals and birds, the last named alone have any pretensions at all to a terrestrial habit of life, in that they use the mOraines and rocky cliffs of the continental shores as nesting places. But they are all pelagic sea birds.
 "Yet in this extremely unpromising land of barren rock and ice there are forms of life which are to be met no where else, and in this very fact lies the interest that attaches to study of the Antarctic fauna. - Prom "The Voyage of the Discovery" by Captain Robert F. Scott

IMPROVING YUKON RIVER
Canada Doing Great Work, United
 States Nothing at All

From being a graveyard of navi-
 gator" the Upper Yukon river has be-
 come practically as safe as canal,
 says The Engineering and Mining
 Journal of New York. It continues:
 During the open season steamers,
 barges, scows, canoes in great number
 ply it's waters, and accidents of any description are extremely rare. The Yukon forms convenient highway through the central portions of this
 great Northwest. Its traffic is divided between the White Pass and Yukon route lrailroad and steamerS) from Skagway to Dawson and the American route via St. Michael. Generally speaking, Yukon territory and the Forty-Mie district in Alaska are served by the Canadian route, while the American route supplies the wants of tho lower river points, including the Panama, Koyukuk, and Rampant lnin- ing district. Fairbanks alone, during the present winter, required as large stores of provisions as Dawson.
 "In it's solicitude for the welfare of Yukon Territory the Canadian govern ment has annually voted grants, not only for the construction and main tainence of roads and Wails-about 22OO, ,OOO for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1905, or S1,3S6, 400 altogether from 1899 to January 3l, l9O6-but also for the improvement of the Yukon river and its tributaries The program for the current year provides for an eX- of Sl5'OOO, to be distributed as follows: SS,OOO for rock blasting at Hell Gate, Sl.5OOO for the Forty-Nlile river. S3,OOO for the upper Yukon reaches, including Thirty-Mile river, river, and S2, 300 not yet placed. Since the opening up of this country a few years ago Canada has appropriated about $l72,OOO for Yukon River im- 
 "On the American side of the line, in Alaska, improvements have not even been started. The Yukon flats are still there to endanger and retard American shipping, and so are the ob- at the mouth of the river which were fully described and eX- plained to the senatorial sub-commit- tee who personally, in 1903, investi- gated conditions in Alaska, It should be thoroughly understood, in this re- lation, that transportation is the chief problem in this wonderful northland. It is the paramount question in the development of Alaska"

Gompers Replies to shonts

Washington, D. C., Aug. l4-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, today issued a reply to the statement of President Shonts of the Panama isthmian canal that the anti-Chinese law of the Uni ted States does not apply to territory acquired after the passage of the law. GomperS afirms that the law is in force in all territory under the jurls- diction of the U. $. government.
 1t is becoming apparent that the laoor unions will make political issue of the movement to construct the canal by Chinese labor.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 1.-The Isthmian commission in charge of the construction of the Panama canal has decided to employ Chinese laborers upon the work and has advertised for 2,5OO of the coolies. The Jamaicans who are now employed are proving failures. They can't stand the labor.
 The labor unions of the country are making a vigorous protest against the action of the commission in employing Chinese in preference to white labor, but the government holds that the lat ter is not only too expensive, but hard to secure and retain, and says that the canal work must be pushed to com pletion as speedily as possible.

INDIANS JOIN IN BOYCOTT
Douglas Natives Hear of Heat Scan
 daI and Cut Out Canned Goods

The Douglas Indians have taken alarm at the disclosures made by the investigation of the meat trusts and the packing houses and will eat no more canned beef.
 Some wag has pumped the natives full of up-to-date wisdom and has added spice of prejudice and super stition.
 The Indians now believe that Ar mour's canned beef is composed of a mixture of dead dogs and cats. All the sickness, deaths, accidents and bad luck have their source and are caused by the eating of this terrible stuff sold by the Armours. Therefore the Indian will have no more of it.
 Ordinarily the Alaska Indian will eat almost anything, and dirt is no drawback. Fish that has hung eX- posed to the attack of millions of flies, until it is dried, or dug from some pit in half routed condition goes without question. An Indian woman will work industriously on basket or moccasin for hours, but cooking and scrubbing is too much like making brick without straw. So it is that whenever the Indian has money he has canned beef. But from now on NIr. Armour can keep his canned dog and cat.-Douglas Island News.
