Doings In Lyford.
To THE HERALD.


Lyford, Texas. Feb. 20
Another excursion has come anG
gone. Among the throng of home
seekers were several who stopped
at Lyford either to remain per
manently or to visit friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shafer of Indiana
came to stay. Mrs. Shafer i. a
sister of Mr.. Fiandt's.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rynold from
Kenilville, Ind, are here to spend
several weeks.
Mr.. Black of Muncie, Ind, is

home Wednesday.
Mrs. Euler returned to her home
in Iowa this week, after a visit
here.
Miss Mabel Stanford entertained
the young people of Lyford very
pleasantly at her home OH Thurs
day evening last.
The new store of Mr.. Kean is
completed and is now open for
business.
The boiler and engine house for
the new we'll machinery is COM
pleted.
The new peanut planters, which
were imported by the growers, were
not true to their name, for they
wouldn't plant. 1t was too late to
order others, and the many
methods proposed for getting the
peanuts into the ground would
have been were laughable, if it
hadn't been so serious. Messrs.
Huff and Ayres finally took the
by the throat and made
fine peanut planter out of their
corn planter. 1t took two days of
hard work and considerable
thought, but the venture is a de-
,ided success. They are planting
eighty acres tin peanuts this
spring.
Work was begun Monday on

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY IS. 1905
THE dTYS RIGHT.

Brownsville is today just on The
threshold of its existence as city.
The men who hold the responsible
aosition of aldermen for the town
should see to it that no mistake Is
made by them which may prove a
zzardicap to the budding city.
The council is now considering
a franchise for a street railway.
The identity of the men asking for
xhe franchise is sufficient guaranty
chat they will do what they pro-
nose. and that they do not wish to
take unfair advantage of their fell
low citizens. THE HERALD be-
zieves that the granting of this
franchise to these men will De to
che advantage of the town and will
be a great step towards the devel-
uopuent of Brownsville as desir-
able place of residence.
But, this paper cannot refrain
from expressing a hope that the
council, in considering the matter,
may be guided by the experience
and example of other cities. In
almost all cities today, such a
franchise always contains explicit
provisions safeguarding the well
fare of the city, Among other
things, there is always a clause
stspulating that, as soon as the
enterprise is on a paying basis, it
shall pay to the city a certain per
centage of its gross receipts. In
Galveston the street railway COM
2auy pays 2 IL per cent OF its
GROSS receipts to the city, besides
which the city was given by the
company securing the franchise
500 sharesj of stock WORTH $50 a
share.
A street railway in Brownsville
rs worth very little today. but in
time it will be valuable. 1t would
be advisable even to exempt such
an enterprise from taxation for a
term of years.
The terms of the franchise should !
also stipuIate that the mileage to
BE built within the time stated
should include the principal street
or streets of the city. There are
some other provisions which are
Smportant that should be incorpor-
ated in such franchise. 1t is
soped that the members of the
may not act too hastily,
and make mistakes which may lay
chem liable hereafter to condemna-
ten. Brownsville is going to need
znuch money for public improve
zzeats, and there is no more legiti-
mate way of raising it than by the
che method suggested.
There is no doubt that the pro-
Eressive and enrerprisiug meE ask
ing for the franchise would be more
than willing to agree to any pro
zisions made with this end in view.

HOME RULE PLATFORM.

The Independent Home Rule Party of
Oahu, I. H., in county and city con-
vention assembled this 29th day of
September, A. D. 1908, in Kahiliaulani
Hall, hereby endorses the Territorial
platform of this party, adopted by the
Territorial Convention on the 31st day
of August, A. D. 1908.
We declare the Independent Home
Rule Party to be the party of the peo-
pie, who believe in the principles of
government, irrespective of color
or race, standing for honest, efficient
and economic government of the affairs
of the people, by the people and for
the people.
We hereby pledge our Delegate to
Washington to ask Congress suitable
appropriation for the support and
maintenance of the Territorial wards
at the Leper Settlement, in the County
of Kalawao, on the Island of Mo1okai.
We pledge our candidates for city
and county officers to an economic and
honest administration of the affairs of
the city and county government of Ho-
nolulu, T. n.
We believe that the officers of the
government should be paid according
to the service they render to the public.
We believe in equality for all of our
without regard to race or
color.
We believe that all improvements
should be made with an equal regard
to the poor as well as the rich.
We pledge our candidates to the Leg
islature to so amend the labor act to
permit the selection of unskilled labor
from among the voters of each polit-
ical party in each county precinct or
district, wherein the government work

and the resolution was adopted, which
carried with it, of course, the fusion
list.
But even then the oldtime Home
Rulers did not take kindly to the
ticket, for they found nearly everybody
j endorsed thereon was Republican, and
not a Democrat in sight.
! Over in the Laborite camp Henry
Vida thanked the members for the hon
or conferred upon him. He would work,
if elected a supervisor, in the interest
of the poor rather than of the rich.
The Fusionists were not controlled
by the monopolists, and he scored the
Republicans whom he had left to join
the Democrats, afterwards leaving the
Bourbons to go into the Laborite and
Home Rule camp. He pledged himself
to support the entire ticket. But Hen
ry is used to making pledges, for only
last week Wednesday he personally
took pledge in the Democratic con-
ve7tion, in terms as follows:
'sAny member seeking political Of
fee through this party, before becom
ing candidate for nomination thereto
in a Democratic convention, shall first
be required to sign pledge that in
the event of his failure to secure the
desired nomination he will not there
after or prior to the ensuing election,
seek nomination for the same or any
other public Office from any other poll
teal party, nor appear as an independ-
ent or rival candidate for any public
office for which a Democratic candidate |
hus been duly nominated" F."
The requirement of written pledge
was waived by the Democratic conven-
ton, but Vida along with other candi-
dates took the pledge orally in the
presence of that body.
Last night Vida called particular at
tention to Cathcart s candidacy, beg
ging the Laborites to vote strong for
him.
The Labor convention was presided
over by Charles Broad, as chairman,
and Chas. Kauhana was secretary.
Henry Vida was given the post of vice

Two conventions were held in Motley
\ Hall last night, the Home Rulers occu-
d pying the main hall and the Laborites
the mauka hall, partition dividing the
conventions. The most important ac-
tion taken, outside of the adoption of
separate party platforms, was the ap-
pointment of a conference committee
consisting of five members from each
party, which met and selected the list
of candidates as above. The reports
were dealt with separately by the con-
ventions and finally the fusion bond
was signed by D. Kalauokalani Sr., vice
president of the Home Rule party, and
W. C. Aehi, chairmgn of the LabOrite
convention.
The adoption of the list was greeted
with wild applause by the Laborites,
while in the opposite hall the report OF
the committee was received in silence
as to most of the Republican names
thereon. The names of Motley, Beck
ley, KalauokaIani Sr. and Poepoe re.
ceived attention but. the rest of the
names passed by without comment, save
a few grunts of disapprovaI.
Everything went smoothly in the
Laborite camp, but the Home Rulers
struck a parliamentary snag. When
lthe convention was about to adopt the
conference committee s report some one
discovered that resolution to do so
must be presented This started loud
PwraHgle. An hour was spent in franz
ling up a resolution, two or three at |
tempting to write one out. The first
one met with general disapproval and /
particular objection came from the
chairman, Kalauokalani The resolution
called for the signatures of the pres
ident of the Home Rule party and w.
c. Aehi for the Laborites. Kalauoka-
lsni, who is only the vice president.
stated his objection, and coming for
ward on the platform senta few biting
sentences into the crowd, which caused
a hurried revision of the resolution. 1t
was presented again, and then it was
found to be faulty. There were bitter
disputes over it,
Finally, when the resolution had
been framed to meet approval, it was.
sent into the Laborite room and came
back with Aehi's signature attached.
1t was then signed by Kalauokalani,
and was up for adoption, when one of !
the trainers of the resolution turned
q parliamentary somersaU1t and de-
nouneed the action by stating that the I
conference committee IS slate should
have been brought before the meeting
