A CAPITOL INCIDENT.

The Capitol shook with mighty roar
A scribe was fleeing downstairs,
For the Governor stood at his cham
Der door
A-tearing his auburn hairs.
You have insulted my Chinese cook.
That slant-eyed darling of mine.
Avaunt, be gone, go to HI, get out,
For my Chinaman's honor is mine"
The department heads sat still and
pale.
What makes the building so shake. y
''Oh, George has been home for a
day." quoth one,

To the ordinary layman the intrica-
cies of the law are about as ineligible
as a patent Office report written in
Sanscrit and many of the rules of evil
dence bear about the same relation to
common horse sense that knowledge
of the Greek rules of prosody does to
planting potatoes. q :
Consequently, when the layman
finds Himself suddenly elevated to the
Bench without fair warning, he is apt
to be up against it if he once allows
the lawyers to get the upper hand OF
him.
An understanding of the truth of
this fact is apparent in the conduct of
the members of the Tax Appeal Board.
When they were appointed and began
their work they found themselves in
danger of being entangled in the
mesh of legal sophostries. None OF
them was a lawyer One is an auc-
tioneer, one real estate man and the
other broker. They had about as
much knowledge of the fine points of
the law as the average layman.
So when the attorneys for the vari-
Gus appellants appeared before them
and began to make objections and take
exceptions and argue on technical and
abstruce points Of law, quibbling over
the introduction of certain testimony,
moving to strike it out, ETC., the at
mosphere around the Court began to
get hazy with words.
But they were equal to the emer-
gency. With one bold stroke they
swept aside the whole flimsy web and
planted their feet firmly on' the ground
of common sense.
ut is useless for you to make OBJ
jections,' they said. Introduce all the
testimony you please and we will be
the judges of whether it is relevant
or not We are not lawyers and can't
be expected to know much about the
rules of evidence. But we have more
or less horse sense and that is what
we are going to use here.
And that is what they did use, great
ly to the disgust of certain attorneys
who had come prepared to befog the
issue with legal phrases.

Fred, the messenger in the Cover

short time ago. Also, he has large

his knowledge and his respect are the

publish the shameful story.
Therefore is the Viceroy wroth.
Sleep comes not to his troubled
brain. He turns his face to the wall
and will not be comfOrted. They
have insulted me and my cook" he
means. 1T is bad enough to have
the authorities at Washington turn
Me down and for Bob Shingle to act
in bad faith toward Me. But they
may square themselves. Nothing can
ever square this last outrage.
When it was learned at the police
station that the Governor now in
cluded Chinese among his Oriental
objects d'amour there was great con-
sternation. Orders were given that
all steps must Immediately be taken
to wipe away the insult which had
been offered the Gubernatorial Gull
marian. An investigation was made
forthwith and as result thereof it
was reported to the Sheriff that a
mistake had really been made. The
Cook who had been arrested was not
Carriers so dearly beloved Chef, but
served with J. r. Gait, Carriers
brother-in-law. The officer who had
made the hideous error gave as his
sole excuse the fact that it was so
easy to miss the distinction between
Carriers family cook" and cook
in Carter's family The police force
has been ordered to apologize as a
body, in full uniform, to the insulted
Cook
In the meantime 1t is understood
hat the unfortunate Gait cook has
been fired.
The rumor that an armstice has
been declared between the nature
fakirs' and the "anti-nature fakirs'
is correct. This Tact is conclusively
that dinner will be given at the Sea-
side Hotel this evening for the Long
worths and Jack London and his wife!
How's that tor a combination?
For Mr.. Roosevelt is the chief of
the antis. In no unmistakable Ian
guage he has put the brand on Lon
don. He has given the novelist high
place in his Ananias Club. He init
mates that Jack doesn't know any
thing about animals anyway, and
couldn't tell the truth about them ii
he did. He SCOTS at the idea, of edu-
tated dogs and wolves that can play
the piano and converse intelligently
en- race suicide He denies emphatic
IDLY that there ever was such thing
as pink elephant with Gully eyes and
blue hair, Notwithstanding the fact
that innumerable jovial witnesses can
swear that they have seen the beast.
He says that Jack London, Rudyard
Kipling and Ernest Seton Thompson
or Thompson Seton Ernest or Ernest
Thompson Seton or whatever his name
is now-don't know what they are
talking about and aren't telling the
truth anyway.
And Nick Longworth is the husband
of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, and
Alice Roosevelt Longworth is the
daughter of Mr. Roosevelt and what
Mr.. Roosevelt says goes with Nick
and Alice, and there you are.
And yet the Longworths and the
Londons are to sit down in peace and
harmony at the same prandial board.
But it is too much to hope for that
hostilities will be ended permanently
and treaty of peace concluded.

Canada WILL
COLLECT POLL TAX
THREE DOLLARS A HEAD FROM
JAPANESE WHO LAND IN THE
COUNTRY.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 1.-THE
poll tax for the Hindus and the Japa-
nese! That is now the cry.
According to the law relating to poll
tax, it is payable annually by resi-
dents of this province. 1t is due any
time after January 1; and as all Asia
tics landing on these shores come to
stay they are properly subject to this
taxation he moment they set foot on
the wharf in Vancouver.
Had the tax been imposed on the
twelve hundred Japanese who lande 1
from the Kumeric few days ago, the
sum of $4,000 would have been Melted
by the Provincial government and at
least that amount of the famous
100000 endless chain money in the
possession Of the Japanese would re-
NAMED in the country. When the
steamship Indiana arrives here on
August 16 from Honolulu, the Japan
csc she is bringing will be made to
pay the poll tax. The Anthenian has
on board one hundred and fifty-five
Hindus direct from Hongkong.

my men that / will not stand for the
introduction of yellow labor against
white labor, and regardless of con-
tracts now i'm existence, If the Japan
ese is introduced, l will call meet
ing Of the boards on every system and

This was the message left by Grand
Master Hanrahan, of the international
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
at the close of the hamilton conven-
ton.
The brotherhood in the States is up
in arms against yellow labor, and
secret meeting is being held today at
Cambridge Springs, Penn. Canadian
firemen, especially from the western
part, are largely represented. Local
railway men say Canadian firemen
will join hands with the men across
the border to keep out the Japanese.
EDMONTON, Aug. 1.-THE latest ar
rivals to take up homesteads in AL
berta, and the first o. their race to
take up land in this province, If not in
the entire west, are two Japanese who
have just come to the city. They
stated that for some time they with
others of their race have contemplated
coming to Alberta in order that they
might take up land and make money
AT home" said one of them, lone
may work for many years and not
acquire the wealth which in one oil
your cities he will acquire in as many
months. Although our hopes are
high, many leave their native land and
the rulership of the Mikado. We have
come to realize in the last few years
that our country is being too thickly
populated, and we must emigrate if We
ever wish to rise in the world"

FOLLOWER MEMBER OF OLD
GRAFT BOARD WANTS HIGHER
HONORS.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 16.-Sup-
ervisor o. A. Tveitmoe is candidate
for the mayoralty nomination at the
Union Labor Party convention. Wear
ing the latest fashion in modest express
sion and adopting the II am-in-the-
hands-of-my-frien attitude, he last
night admitted that he is in a receptive
mood.
IF the convention of the Union La
Dor party sees fit to name me as head
of the ticket shall feel it my bounden
duty to accept the honor and make the
strongest fight possible for the success
of the whole ticket"
What do you consider the chances
for the success of the ticket at the
polls?" he was asked.
1.-THE laboring man never had bet
ter chance than now, and believe that
we will win by the largest majority
that has been given any ticket in a
great many years"
Have you made your candidacy
known heretofore?"
mo; am in the hands of my friends
1 understand they are using my name
aud 1 shall abide by the action of the
convention"
do you think a majority of the
other nominees on the ticket should be
taken from the ranks of organized
labor?"
Eyes. but the other interests in the
city should not be overlooked and they
should all be represented. The people
may be sure that the convention will
name capable and thoroughly honor
able men for every Office in the city
what do you regard as the para
mount issue?"
"The welfare of workingmen, organ
lied labor and a complete guarantee
to all classes of fairness and justice
two things that union men have rare
ly enjoyed but may be confident o.
receiving at the hands of the next adj
ministration."

that he wouldn't have to be coaxed
very hard to take the job.
Charlie Clark, sergeant at arms OF
the Senate during the last session OF
the Legislature, believes his experience
has fitted him for digging up elusive
evidence; while
Charlie Wilson, a marshal under
Queen Liliuokalani would probably not
run if the job came in his direction.
Then there are several others who
have already been mentioned-Joe Leal
of the police force; Willie Ellis, who
would disarm the crafty wrong-doer
with the sweet music of his voice; j..
Lot Kaulukau, the dignified represen-
tative of the old school; and Henry
Vida, all of whom think the place
would fit them and they the job, and
are more or less quietly pulling strings
and saving wood.
In the meantime Attorney General
Hemenway has other troubles in get
ting the positions as First and Second
Deputies filled, and states that he pro-
poses to give his new assistants some
voice in the selection of the detective
member of the Office force. inasmuch
as they will probably have to work
with this official more directly than
| he will.

No DIVORCE IN
TIE PHILIPPINES
COMMISSION DECLINES TO PASS
DIVORCE LAW OF ANY KIND AT
ALL.

MANILA, July 26.-It was formally
determined yesterday by the Commits
sion that the statutes of the Philip
pines will never have to bear the
burden of a divorce law.
The Commission has received from
the law firm of Ortigas, Del Pan and
Fisher, request for the passage OF
some law authorizing divorce,-a re-
lief that cannot be obtained at all in
the Philippines at the present day.
This firm has client who secured a
so-called divorce but is not authorized
under it to marry again. This he de-
sires to do and on this account has
made the application through his at
torneys for legislative relief.
The Governor General as president
of the Commission declared that abso-
lutte divorce was the beginning Of the
dissolution of the home and that it af-
fected the foundations the social life
Of people, and he did not want to see
the Philippine islands burdened with
such a load. The other members OF
the Commission voted in unision with
their president.

England's foremost labor leader, j.
Kerr Hardie, has come out in criti-
cism of President Roosevelt and the
work of the last named in his alleged
fight against the trusts. Mr.. Hardie
says that our President will find, ii
he means business, that it is a waste
of time to pare the claws Of tiger or
draw the fangs of cobra when the
beast or snake could be more easily
killed"
He maintains that only a miracle
could work the herculean task which
the President has set himself; that he
knows this and that, therefore, his sim
certify is to be doubted.
Il do not think President Roosevelt
is the man for this task" said Mr.
Hardie; "he is not the man to fight
the trusts to a finish, for that his mind
is biased has been shown by his pre-
judgment of Meyer and Haywood be-
fore the trial; he is not the man be-
cause he has too much of an eye fol
the main chance and is too deeply In
volved with the capitalist side Of poll
tics"
Mr.. Hardie is now in Canada, where
he will work for the betterment OF the
condition of the laboring man botl

who have had the matter in charge

sEvENTYTwo THOUSAND ACRES TwENTY-oNE-YEAI
LEASE AT sS,5Oo-cLAM THAT OFFERING II
NOT ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMPETITORS TO PRE-


There are some people in town who
are not at all pleased with one Of the
last official acts of the last administra-
ton, and that is with reference to the
Kapapala government land which has
been advertised to be offered for lease
on the 9th of September.
1T is a most unfair way of doing
business" declared one man yesterday
who is thoroughly conversant with the
matter, "and it savors greatly of par
TALLY to certain interests. Think OF
the little chance any one else besides
the present incumbents of the property
have of bidding intelligently on the
property when the proposed sale of the
lease is only published month in adj
vance. The magnitude of the propo-
sition is such that no one not prepared
could intelligently bid in such a brief
length of time. There are over 70 ,OOG
acres in that tract which has been used
for ranching purposes by a big hui,
and they will continue to hold It for
another Il years at practically their
own terms, because no one else will
have had an opportunity to prepare
for the sale in the time given. The
advertisements appeared less than a
month ago and are being run in the
local papers only once a week since
that time.

has been handled by the government
in an inconspicuous way that might be
expected in case of a little forty-acre
homestead, whereas three months
would have been none too long time
to have advertised this immense tract
has it really been the desire to give
everybody a chance.
Besides 1 seriously question the
propriety of letting the Kapapala tract
go all in one piece. l know the prop
erty pretty well and there is Is good
deal of that tract that before twenty
one years have elapsed will have be-
come available for homesteads. 1t is
by no means all simply sparce grazing
land as has Deen reported.
AT the same time that the govern
ment is leasing the $4,000 acres. there
are thousands of acres of adjoining
land marked on the maps as desert
land, which are far from being value
less to the rancher, and which will
tacltly be used by the hui for it's range
without the Territory getting any
thing for it,"
The statements of the gentleman
quoted above would seem to be borne
out by the reports Of the Territorial
Survey Office which has just completed
very comprehensive map OF the dis
trict in question.
This map has been made under tn,
direction of the Territorial Surveyo
Wall, and is exceedingly complete il
detail, and represents a great deal o
work. It describes the whole surfac
of the district very fully. giving tn
contours Of the country, the characte
of the soil and character Of the vege
tation where there is any. 1t woul,
seem to indicate that there is some o

more valuable than ranch land
