1t developed at last evenings meet
ing of the House Committee on Public
Lands which is investigating the Lanai
land exchange that l.. l.. McCandless is
the man who offered the suggestion
which led to the subject of an exchange
of the Lanai lands for properties in
Honolulu. Had Mr.. McCandless re-
allied what he was doing when in con-
versation with Commissioner of Public
Lands j. w. Pratt and the amount of
money it would cost him it is highly
probable that he would never have
suggested that the government ex-
change the old fish market for the
Bishop wharves. That suggestion, ac-
cording to Mr.. Pratt, was acted upon,
but an exchange could not be agreed
upon. Then the Territorial officials
began to look for government property
which could be exchanged for the
wharves and the Lanai lands were sug-
gested. However an agreement was
not reached in this matter either and
the matter lay dormant until Superin-
| tendent of Public Instruction Babbitt
| wanted some school lands in this city.
Then the Lanai lands were offered for
suitable school lands and was taken
advantage of by Charles Gay. Then
| it was that Mr.. McCandless began his
fight which led to an investigation by
committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. McCandless has had
impressed upon him the truth of the
old proverb "Mighty oaks from little
acorns grow"
The committee of the House in
charge of the investigation was called
to order last evening at 1920 O'Clock
by Chairman Kaleiopu who requested
Commissioner Pratt to take the stand
again. Then began a severe cross-ex-
animation by Representative Rawlins
which lasted for nearly two hours. The
committee seems determined on getting
to the bottom of the matter and the
cross ss-examination carried on by the
members of the committee tends to
show that they are determined on do
ing everything in their power to get
the truth and discover IL there was
any secret understanding between the
Territorial officials and Mr.. Gay where
by he would obtain the lands regard.

Ian Herbert, H. E. Cooper and mum

/, Commissioner of Public Lands Pratt
continued his testimony regarding thu
conditions on Lanai. He then told o.

THE GARMENTS MEETING.

The meeting OF the street carmen III
the early hours Of Wednesday morn
ing WAS one of ord-breaking char
acter. Action taken was decisive, and
the expressions embodied in the form of
resolutions were appropriate, timely,
fair. The feeling at the meeting was
emphatically for the preservation of
order and the upholding of the law. 1t
was also emphatic in disapproval OF
misrepresentation upheld its friends
and got back at its unfair foes In good
style,
Tho meeting very properly gave rec
ognition to those who had been servicea'
BILE in bringing about the adjustment
of the differences between the men
and the company, giving Mayor Thomp-
son the first place, as was right. 1T
gave due recognition, also TO the efforts
of the Commercial club, and to B. h..
Roberts. The latter was tho final actor
in the settlement, though he advanced
this no farther than Mayor Thompson,
so far as the principles at issue were
concerned. 1t was just and fair rec"
ognition, all around.
The condemnation which the meeting
visited upon the Beserct News was
also well deserved, That paper has
not only grossly exaggerated the oc-
currences. and made unfair, unwarrant-
ed, and vicious comments upon them,
but it has falsely and willfully stated
many things which had no foundation
whatever In fact A specimen Of this
we quoted from tho News In yesterday
mornings Tribune, where the News
claimed in an editorial that help had
been furnished from the Fort to run
the mail cars. falsehood so inexcusa-
BILE, so impossible, that it was the sheer
est impudence TO attempt TO tolst 1T
upon the public.
The meeting was an enthusiastic,
happy one, and ii took action that was
entirely appropriate from its point OF
view; while Its approval of its friends
and its censure of the News was ap-
propriate from any point of view.

ARBITRATION WAS CONCEDED.

The member of the strcet-car men 8
executive committee was certainly In
error who exclaimed in the grent meet
ing of Wednesday morning, that the
street-car company WAS 'never ready
to arbitrato at any stage of the game. -
On the contrary, Mr., Bancroft, speak
ing for himself and the company, not
only declared willingness to arbitratc,
but made au explicit agreement with
Mavor Thompson that the company
stood ready to arbitrate the wage scale,
That was a precedent which could be
pleaded in point, in any material diff
ference which might arise in the fu-
ture, between the company aud its
employees. The great Importance of
this should have struck tho minds of
the men as soon as it was stated but
it seems that some have failed to real
i5e it even vet.
Right there is where the important
service of Mayor Thompson came in.
He got the arbitration concession. And
he got all that was got, as a matter of
fact; and what he failed TO get, nobody
else got. 1t is true that Elder Roberts
followed the ''ray of light" presented
TO his vision, and caused some others
also to see it. And TINT ray of light
had power back Of it, which all con-
cerned recognized. AS the emissarv to
close the negotiations where Mayor
Thomson left them, he was success,
and the men very properly recognized
his services in that capacity.
But to claim that the company was
"nevcr ready to arbitrate at any stage
of the game IS entirely TO pervert the
facts of the case, It was an utterly
wrong impression; and it is probably
true that TO this mistaken view is in
large degree duo the strike, which
should never have been declared. IF
the men had accepted the proposition,
at first, just as Mayor Thompson
brought 1T TO them, as they did at the
last when Elder Roberts brought it to
them, all would have been well, there
would have been no strike, and the
employees would have been precisely
where they are now.

return is exrected for the investment

speaks more for their enterprise and

the same time. it is not we'll 10 be too
hard on The editors For tho most part,
the bias In the contributions so sup
piled is very carefully hidden, The
design, imperceptibly, is to arrive at
certain result not in one article, but
in series of articles which when used
and read arc supposed TO prepare the
mind to acce~t the conclusions that the
supplier Of those articles desires TO es
tablish. All the same, there is no ques

mems strike. The Herald, in other
words. inmped TO conclusions that were
neither honest, fair, nor decent; 1T ex-
aggeratcd and mis~stated the situation
in its editorial columns instead of fairly
commenting upon the facts as they ex~
listed,
And that is precisely the difference
in general conduct between The Trlb-
buue and the Herald; Tho Tribune
prints the news; prints all of it, When
it comments on anything worthy Of
comment, that comment is fair and is
justified by the facts. 1t does not
proceed on anticipation and on eXag-
geration Of facts as they exist; but the
Herald S olrcnse in this street car strike
and the resultant mischief that arose
from oyer-zeal Of irresponsible persons,
did just that thing. Its editorial columns
outstripped its news columns by far In
denunciatlon, vicious baranguc, and IN
decent presentation, That is what put
the Herald in the close and unenviable
position in which it finds itself today;
all of its writhing, twisting, and turn
ing will not in the least help its case;
and it's reproduction Of The Tribune g
news reports and editorial comment
only makes its case by far the more
deplorablo in contrast; it emphasizes
the difference between our fair, candid
treatment Of this whole case, and its
