er's stay in Hawaii, they in this way
extorted a confession of guilt from
a Portuguese boy, who was proved TO
be innocent after he had suffered i'm
prisonment. Surprising Home Rule
were granted to India, there can be
no doubt that the Hindus would make
the same use of political power as
the Hawaiians, and life would be
made well-nigh unbearable to the
hundred thousand or so of British
people resident in the great depend
ency.
The fact that the Hawaiians have
learned the use of the political mt
chine" and the secret of graft" from
American exemplars only emphasizes
the truth that contact between white
and colored races has a deteriorating
effect on both. They copy each 9TH
er's vices and despise each others
ideals, with the result that both sink
in the social and moral scale Our
religion has been almost powerless to
stop this downward tendency; in
deed, in many cases, the Christia,
lied man of color is less reliable than
the heather. 1t is doubtful if Chris
tianity will ever make headway
among Asiatics, who have an Older
religion of their own. Africans take
kindly to emotional Christianity, but
it produces only a superficial or ten
porary effect upon their characters
and actions. In view of the grea
preponderance of Asiatics, the result
on religion of a mingling of a white
and colored races would be to impor
, into Christianity elements of mysti

which he was administering. A case
that came under the personal notice
of the writer may be cited to show
the slipshod methods Of conducting
criminal prosecutions. At the Cir
cult Court in Hilo a Japanese, Flu
kuda Tetsuji, was indicted for muir
der in the first degree. Deputy At
torney General Larnach was sent
from Honolulu to prosecute. The in
dictment proved good; the evidence
was conclusive that the accused had
deliberately killed two people. BIT
when the time came for Mr.. Larnach
to address the jury he was suddenly
taken i'll. The county attorney, a
part Hawaiian, was in town, but alb
scented himself from court without
reason or apology. 1t fell to his dep
uty, a Hawaiian, who had graduated
with high honors from two American
universities, to address the jury. This
gentleman had been in court during
the trial, but it soon became appar-
ent that he had not been an intelli'
gent auditor. In the third sentence
of his address he remarked that they
had the testimony of a Japanese
woman who saw the shooting.

COURTEOUS TO THE LAST.

A visitor to the jail in a New Eng
land city was much impressed by
the manners of the few prisoners.
"They seem so gentle and so po-
lite" she said. Il knew there were
no hardened criminals here, but
was not prepared for such courteous,
even cordial, reception.
"Oh, they're cordial and courteous,
all right said the iailer, "but ia
rather have less manners, myself"
You would" and the visitor was
evidently shocked.

Discrimination Against Whites.
In the administration of the law in
minor matters, there Is often unfair
discrimination. A mans color or his
politics serves to shield him from
prosecution. The whole white popu-
lation of Hilo had to submit to most
unfair treatment. Prior to the Fourth
Of July the sheriff Ga Hawaiian with
a white deputy, who does all the
skilled work of the office, announced
that information would be laid
against all persons who let off crack
ers or other fireworks in the public
streets. This was deemed a reason

STOCK SITUATION
QUITE CHEERFUL

After the session yesterday 10 and
40 shares of Oahu stock sold on the
street at 500, and tbs morning on
the board 10 shares changed hands
at the same figure. At the close $26
was the general bid for the stock, and
it was offered in specified quantities
at the same.
There has been quite a run on
Eva in a small way, 10, 10, 1876, 10
and 80 shares selling at $275O. At
the close of the mornings session,
however, more was offered at the
same, while bidding had sagged to
S27z5. 1t is believed that very little
Eva could be had for these figures,
ard that demand for anything like
a large block could not be satisfied
at anything like the quotation.
Blocks of Al and 81 Taniong Olok
rubber sold at $3S, following which
$37 80 was bid. Interest in this
stock seems to be increasing with
the approach of the fine when divi-
dends may be forthcoming.
DOCK OF III Olaa changed hands
at S3.S75, after which the same was
bid for more and 81 asked. Olaa
appears to be in considerable de-
mand but at low figures.
Another sale of interest was $1,000
o. R. & L. bonds at 500, after which
$9S so was asked. 1t viii be remem-
be'ed that the last previous sale was
at $1O1 25.
Other quotations of interest were:

$4 so asked; Pioneer, $175 III;
Waialua, $S7 so bid.

LAND AND The
VESTS FINANCES

It is one of the notable changes in
the condition of the West that the
small bank has become a large fac
tor in financial affairs. For many
years the farmer was the one individ-
ual to whom the West looked for it's
prosperity and for management of it's
business. Upon him everything SEEM

developed it placed in a prominent
position in Western finance thous-

farmers savings. In consequence they

halt on the land speculation. The

holdings without considering what

however, realized that it would not dc

maDded that the land-buyers use
more caution. This feeling on the

Little News
From the Strike

Little in the way of sensational
news comes from the strike situation
on the Hartman system of railroads.
The road is managing to keep trains
moving without any serious inconven-
fence. The trains are not held any
length of time at Sparks, just long
enough for a light cleaning, water
and icing. A number of engines have
been retired from service on account
of lack of repairs. The strikers claim
that many engines are dead and that
defective engines are on the road.
This is denied by the company Most
of the trans from the east are late.
They range from few hours to half
day.
The strikers at Sparks have pitched
teLts close to the gates and continue
to maintain a picket system to keep
tab n the roads moves and the arriv-
al q men to take their places.

A Big Record
For Nevada

1t is interesting to note Nevada S
standing among the States of the
Union in production Of gold, silver,
lead and copper for the year 1910, as
shown by the official figures OF the
United States Geological Survey.
Nevada was first in the production OF
silver. third in gold production, fifth
in copper output and fourth in the
production of lead. In aggregate
production Nevada stod third, being
exceeded only by Montana and Ari-
ona and Montana. both OF which
states being placed ahead OF Nevada
on account OF their enormous produc-
ton of copper. Nevada exceeded
both Arizona and Montana in the
production of silver and was exceed
ed only by Colorado and California
in the production OF gold.
