JUST One ISSUE.

Amendment of the Organic Act is
the purpose for which the Legisla-
ture was called in special session.
Legislators should make no mis-
take as to the sentiment of the peo-
pie toward the duties and RESPONSE
bilities Of the men assembled In the
capitol building.
They have Just one issue before
them; the people have just one is
sue In mind-the amendment Of the
Organic Act.
That is what the Legislators were
called in session TO pass upon. There
Is not now any other matter Of pub
lie moment that would justify the
calling of the Legislature. and there
Is no good reason why the represen-
tatives OF the people should take up
time and add TO the public expense
by elaboration on subjects OF less
importance.
When resolutions and bills are put
before the Legislature that are not
german to the subject presented by
the Governor. the members fathering
these measures Immediately lay
themselves open to the possibly JUS
tilted charge of trying to complicate
the situation and thus bring dis
credit upon the Legislature of the
Territory or jeopardizing the good
name of the Territory, in order to
play a little game of politics that
Will at best deceive only the ignor-
ant and then for very short period.
Citizens OF good common sense
have one thing In mind as regards
the plain duty of the Legislators in
special session.
Any discussion that has to do
with the Organic Act is timely II II
be good or bad. Anything not hav-
ing to do with the Organic Act is en-
tirely out of place.
This Is the plain Issue. As Legis
lators hold to 1t or go of on tang
ents. they will be judged by the
thinking people of the islands who
will cast the vote at the next cleo
ton.
or course the Legislators are free
to do as they please.
Every Legislator will meet the ap-
proval Of the voters II his good sense
as well as his pleasure dictates his
unfailing adherence to the subject
presented in the Governors message
and the one that is the most import
ant for this Territory at the present
time.

lands. The hospitality OF everyone

where it appears to grow on the

81 have been connected some way
with Hawaii for many years. ana
when the question of annexation OF
these islands came up ! was acting
as army and navy correspondent for
the New York Tribune. When the
five gentlemen went to the MAINLAND
to present the motion for annexa-
ton, was wired by my chief to In
terview the President Of the United
States and Ind out what he thought
of the suggestion.
81 was up against 1t then, and,
after trying in every way, had to
give the idea best. One Of the OFF,
cials told me that II he were editor
of a great daily paper he would come

President was in favor of annexation
of the Islands. Then If It turned
out that the President did not APP

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

New York appears to have gained
a reform victory, though Tammany
won the fight for Mayor.
According to all the advance COM
ment on the election, the averagely
honest citizens were most anxious to
elect infusion candidates
for the municipal offices other than
Mayor. Even with Tammany
Mayor. If the forces that stood for
honesty as against open graft were
able to control the board Of esti-
mates and various borough Offices,
the government of the municipality
might be put down as rescued from
the powers of evil.
As previously pointed out In these
columns, Mr.. Hearst consented to
run for Mayor only on condition that
the Fusion-Republican ticket for all
Offices other than the Mayor should
be endorsed by his following. His
request was accepted, and no doubt
had much to do with the success OF
the anti-Tammany campaign. Mayor
Gaynor was the Tammany candidate,
but no one knows what he will do.
Civic reform did not fare as well
in other cities as in the metropolis.
San Francisco appears to have gone
to the old extreme Of graft politics,
and II the new city government does
not equal in dishonesty that OF
Reuf and Schmidt, it will mean that
the graft prosecutions have at least
placed a respect for common honesty
in the hearts Of Schmidtz's former
friends and associates.
Defeat OF Heney and the reform
element was probably brought
about by Heney's roughshod method
at one time and another, indicatini
lack Of judgment, and also the in
different support OF certain inverte
brate classes that had become tire'
of trying to be too honest when thu
city was struggling to recover SOM
OF its lost business.
Humanity in general has not ye
come to believe that It pays cit.
to be decent and honest.

Hawaii wants no prohibition leg
islation at the hands of Congress,
and Congress is sensible enough to
understand 1t. Our only danger is
the vote OF some Congressman who
don't care a rap for Hawaii or Pro-
hibition. but figure that they might
gain few Prohibition votes in their
home district by voting In favor OF
something not needed or wanted
here. Fortunately the Congressional
majority is not made up of men OF
that caliber.

Hawaii always shows its good will
toward the Emperor of Japan. The
feeling is possibly more cordial this
year on account OF the belief that
the government of Japan set its seal
Of disapproval on the endeavors OF
certain of its subjects in this Terri
tory to overthrow law and order.

Declines Offer of $3.50. 900 to Drop
Government Inquiry.
New York, April 20.-The smuggling
syndicate that first offered Collector of
the Port Loeb 500, 900 to drop the
governments investigation of the
smuggling of sleeper" trunks con-
tanning SIS, 900 worth of Paris gowns
increased its offer today to $3.50, 900,
according to Mr.. Loeb.
1.-The amount now offered the gov
eminent to drop the investigation and
probable prosecution is $3.50, O00, said
Mr.. Loeb. 1.-The amount represents
what would be the penalties of fully
5000, 900 above the appraised value of
the goods. All offers have been re-
fused. We want the smugglers."
1t is believed that worry over this
case so affected the mind of William
G. cambridge, confidential agent of
the United States Treasury department
in Paris, that he committed suicide.
The Treasury department had fully ap-
proved Mr.. Bainbridge's course in the
case, but he left note declaring he
was the victim of plot.
Mr.. Loeb's investigation shows that
the struggled gowns had been made in
Paris by famous designers for many
women of social prominence and wealth
in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington and that the reason for
offering such large sum to suppress
the investigation was to shield the
women from unpleasant publicity.

Yusseff lzzedin-Army of Constr

itai Full of Rumors.

Censtantinople, April 20.-With the
Constitutional army steadily enveloping
his capital and demanding his head,
with garrison unwilling to defend him,
and with a cabinet ready to surrender
to the demands Of the patriot army,
Sultan Abdul Hamid is reported to
have abdicated and fed on warship or
sought refuge in foreign embassy.
The report that the sultan had abdi-
Gated caused the greatest excitement
in the Hobbies Of parliament. A rumor
Of the fight of the sultan on warship
followed closely on that of his abdica-
ton, but neither could be confirmed.
Large crowds gathered at the British
embassy, where other reports had it
that the sultan had taken refuge, and
there were scores of inquiries at the
Russian embassy concerning the truth
of the rumor that the sultan was under
the protection Of Russia on one Of its
guardships. At both of these embas-
sizes all knowledge of the sultan's move
ments was denied and the Turkish For
eign Office gave strong denial of the
rumors.
The abdication of Abdul Hamid, how.
ever, appears to be not improbable,
and it appears that within day or two
the Constiuttionalists may accept as
his successor Prince Yussef Izzedin,
the eldest son of the late sultan, who
is second in line, as they are strongly
displeased with Abdul Hands atti

The Constitutional forces sent oui
small parties to reconnoiter this after
noon, and at Z o'clock in the evening
they were within sight of the gates Of
Constantinople. They encountered NJ
resistance, nor does resistance seen

RIGID LAWS TO GOVERN AEROSAUTs

Government License and
EXAMINATIONS

Every day l am firmly convinced that
there should be government regulation
on ballooning. / have held this theory
for some time, but the experience of q
certain California seronaut few days
ago in the Sierra Madre mountains has
brought the need home to me more
strongly than ever. The government
regulations should consist of licenses
for balloon pilots, and laws within
which the pilots should have to eonfine
themselves.
While do not wish to reflect on this
seronaut, / do wish to point out that
he is only a case in point Some peo-
pie can never become successful balloon
men any more than all men can become
successes as artists or deep sea divers.
It's a part Of a mans makeup. There
are some men who can make 20 ascen-
sions and still be no better equipped as
pilots than if they were going up for
the second time. A person who is not

Ottawa, Ont, April 2O.-The ques-
ton as to jurisdiction over Hecate
straits on the Pacific coast of Canada,
between Queen Charlotte islands and
British Columbia, is likely to become
an active issue within a short time.
AS these waters lie between two Cana
dian stretches of territory, the Domin-
ion claims that they are as much her
exclusive property as Long Island
sound is the property of the United
States. The Hecate straits are halibut
fisheries, and are resorted to by both
American and Canadian fishermen.
