1886 are employees, it appears by the

The change in government has Civ.
en- the people double the wages they
were getting before without increas-
ing their cost of living more than to
educate them naturally to want more
and better things as they are able to
get them. 1t has given them a stable
and firm government freer from graft
and dishonesty than anything they
were before familiar with. 1t has
given them public schools, over 1900

before except few church and pri-
vate schools 1t has given them more

A Baptist missionary in one of the

the strongest faith on the island to
be Spiritualism, though it is not men

that especially in the country districts

ancestors with few of the doctrines
of modern Spiritualists and that meet.

For the truth is that the great bulk
of the people take no interest in the
church. Most of them are nominally
Catholics and prefer to be born, mar
ried and buried under its rites but
that is all and even this they do not
consider essential, Up here in New
England we hear a great deal about
empty pews and decreasing attention
to church going. Here it is among
the Protestant churches but down in
Porto Rico it is the Catholic churches
that are suffering.

There is some dissatisfaction In la
Dor circles in the island but 1t is most
ly the chronic wall of the lazy and
shiftless of all lands who want more
through government bequest and favor
than they are willing to work and
earn by honest labor 1t is no differ
ent in Porto Rico than in Vermont or

Vacation Days In Porto Rico.

Under the Spanish rule the Roman
Catholic church was the one great and
powerful institution in Porto Rico.It
was the official church, aided by gov
eminent revenues and always rich and
powerful. Under the American rule
the condition of the church is differ
ent. 1t is thrown on its own resources
like all the, churches in the United
States and its revenues come only
from the voluntary contributions of
its members. Thus deprived of its
backing some of the parishes are
very poor and the priests in small viii
lagos get only a scanty living.

POLITICS
IN HILO
HOME RULERS GUILTY OF A SEN
SATIONAL MOVE TO BOOST
THEIR PARTY.

'"If any argument for a government
by commission were needed the Board
of Supervisors here furnished it yes
terday,' says letter of September 4th,
from Hilo. The letter has reference
to the following proceedings at the last
meeting of the Board, as described by
the Herald:
AS slick piece of politics as was
ever seen in the Territory OF Hawaii
was put through the Board of Super
visors yesterday afternoon, when road
supervisors who are now in Office were
summarily removed and their places
filled with Home Rulers.
The members of the Board who did
the trick were:
w. A. Todd, chairman of the Board
of Supervisors from South Hilo, Home
Ruler;
w. NJ. Purdy Supervisor from Ha-
makua, Home Ruler;
w. M, Kalaikaa, Supervisor from
North and South Kona, Home Ruler;
G. D. Supe, Supervisor from Puma,
Republican.
With or without charges against
them, and without any opportunity to
answer charges, all the present Road
Supervisors were fired to make room
for men whose politics were in line
with those of Todd, Purdy. Kalaiwaa
and Supe. in any districts where poll
tical harmony did not exist This
gives the Home Rulers absolute con-
troll of all the road workers in the
County of Hawaii, and no Home Rule
mean no job and no name on the pay
roll
1t was a slick piece of politics all
right, but as dirty and contemplate
an act of business as could ever have
been invented by the Devil himself.
To discharge a man from his job with
out an opportunity for defense may
be a subject for thanks in the next
prayer of Mr.. Kalaiwaa at the boards
proceedings and by member Todd at
the Salvation Army services.
The Board of Supervisors of the
County of Hawaii met at ten O'Clock
yesterday morning, in regular monthly
session. After roll call, which show
ed Woods the only absentee, a recess
was taken to 3 p. m.
After recess the roll was called, all
present. Kalaiwaa invoked bless
ing upon the boards proceedings. The
minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved.

his friends to take him in their hands

Mayor of the City and County of Ho-

the necessity of opposing Kalaniana-

Association, and expresses the hope
that he may yet make his peace with
the malcontents associated in that

more of them to be very cheap stuff.

Mrs Atcherley is authority for the
statement that a fight against Delegate
Kalanianaole's denomination will be
made by native delegates in the Re-
publican convention, who will endeav-
or to secure the nomination of Fred.
w. Beckley for Delegate to Congress.
This movement is being conducted "
the Hawaiian Voters Association that,
according to the authority above CIV
en-, has fund of $1666 and some cents
("not sense" as the Honolulu Times
would be sure to interject in case of
this kind.
Mrs. Atcherley further states that
the former Home Rule Speaker of the
House kicks like fat Jeshuron against
being put up for the Washington posi-
ton, but she appears to think that he
is not his own master in the matter
which would indicate an oathbound
organization whose members have to do

lutionists or Kentucky night riders.
