A REPUBLICAN SENATE POSSIBLE.

From the Minneapolis Journal)
One. of the prizes OF the next presidential
campaign may be the control of the United
States senate.
The present senate is made up of Sc Demo-
Gratis and 40 Republicans. But of the 81 sena
tors who go out in the 1917 class IL are Demo
Gratis. OF these at least 10 stand on slippery
political ground, having been chosen in Repub
lican states when there was great split in the
Republican party.
The Republican party has been coming back
in most of these states so fast that these sena
tors no longer have local backing For exam
pie. Charles +. johnson of Maine was elected
to the senate, overthrowing the Hale oligarchy.
But his work is done, and Maine has shown a
disposition to part with him by electing Re
publican senator in 1914 and Republican state
officials:
Atlee Pomerene went to the senate from
Ohio, bnt.today Ohio is solidly. in the Republi
can column, and the selection Of colleague to
Senator Harding appears to be largely a ques-
ton Of making proper Republican nomina
Ition.
New Jersey has not drawn Democratic
breath during the past year, and it is freely
predicted that the picturesque Martine>will go
back to his farm. Other states are setting their
faces toward Republicanism just as pronoune
eddy Yet the Democrats are not altogether
hopeless of retaining the senate. Their ma
iority is large and the give-and- take of cleo
lions might bring about a small Democratic
majority.
The thing THAT will assure Republican sen
ate is the best of counsels in the states now Re
publican, and harmonious assault on the lines
where Democrats now represent Republican
states. For example, Wisconsin, while normal
|ly Republican, has Democratic senator
through divisions among the Republicans. The
same is true of South Dakota. 49,.
A Republican house is among the proba-
blities ..

TWO AMERICANS.

Two prominent figures in public life and in
Congress particularly have just passed on be-
yond the adversities of campaigns and politics.
They are Henry Gassaway Davis; ex-senator
from West Virginia, and Benjamin Franklin
ShiveIy. at the time of his death member of
the upper house from Indiana.
Ex-senator Davis, though he had retired
from public life on account of advanced age,
never lost his keen interest in the affairs of his
country In fact, it was after his retirement
that some of his most notable utterances were
made.
"Liberty and free government have always
been secured at the cost of great sacrifices, :
he said on. one occasion But history teaches
MS that both can be easily lost without the
knowledge of the people"
1t is significant that he was born in the same
year, 1923, at Woodstock, Nd, that the Mon
roe doctrine became a fundamental principle
in American politics. During his distinguished
career he fought to maintain it. He later rep
resented the United States at two Pan Ameri-

SATURDAY, THE DAY OF SILENCE
AND SORROW.

The term, the Day of Silence and
Sorrow, is most appropriate for the
Saturday following the crucifixion of
Christ; for His disciples were incon-
solable. Their hopes of a glorious,
earthly kingdom were irreVocably
shattered; yet their love. for the
gentle Master overcame all their dis
appointed ambitions. H.. IL. -
The chief priests and the Pharisees,
mindful of a remark of Jesus that if
He was destroyed. after three days
rise again." and fearing that the
disciples would conniye to steal His
body away out of the tomb and make
the disappearance the base of some
miracle story, were permitted by the
conscience-stricken Pontius Plate to
seal the tomb with huge boulder
and maintain constant watch of
Roman soldiers. FL .....
But even these precautions were in
sufficient against the divine power,
for before daylight there was the
earthquake, the lightning, the swoon:

TODELAY WORK
OF SUGAR Mill
MaIiciouSly Inclined Persons
~ Seek to Do Serious Damage
to Hilo Properties
tsp.cisI ssar,B aliseta correspOnaenesl

HII.O, April 21.--In a senseless and
malicious effort to do harm to the Hilo
Sugar Company. a man, or some men.
last Tuesday night cut down and de-
stroyed the permanent fiume that runs
from Kaiwiki to the Wainaku Mill. A
stretch OF flume about two hundred
feet in length and which has been a
permanent institution for twenty years
or more, was destroyed by the weak
minded or worse individuals who used
saws to cut the fiume, the boxes and
the wooden stays through. and cause
the flume to fall into the big gulch
which it used to span.
Tried to Block Cane.
The dastardly act was obviously per.
petrated In order to try and hamper
the transportation of cane from the
Kaiwiki fields by flume to the Wal.
naku Mill. The fact was known that
on Wednesday morning the fiuming of
cane would be started from Kaiwiki
and that, as usual, the flume would
be used. 1t was with the evident in.
tention OF preventing the cane from
being fumed down to the mill that the
criminal act was committed.
All sorts OF rumors are going the
rounds as to the reason why the fiume
was destroyed. In the minds of most
people is fixed the idea that it was
with the purpose of hampering the
harvesting of the mauka cane and in
some way injuring the Hilo Sugar
Company that the destruction of the
high, long flume was undertaken. The
deliberate manner in which the hume
itself, the trestles and stays were sawn
so that a hard push by several men
would throw it all into the gulch Is
evidence enough of the criminal in
tent of the blackguards who commit
ted the crime.
Failure After All.
Now comes the cheerful part, II
there can be one to story that shows
that certain residents of this island
are still savages at heart and capable
of any crime which their ignorant,
prejudiced and small brains can con-
ceive. After all, the destruction Of
the fiume across the gulch only meant
a little extra work to arrange for the
cane to be sent down along another
fiume to the mill. This is being done

- HILO, April 2l.--There has been
considerable comment around town
about the interview with Chairman
Forbes of the harbor commissioners
regarding the Kuhio wharf. and which
was published in the Tribune last
week Some people say that steamers
should go to the wharf to discharge
and take on freight. while others say
that nothing Of the sort should be
done until the breakwater Is complet-
ed.
Nearly everybody acknowledges
that at some periods steamers could
work at the wharf, but that there are
times when II would not be advisable
to do so. The instance Of the Mauna
Kea going alongside some months ago
and swapping seven thick hawsers IN
an attempt to remain at the wharf Is
quoted The instance OF the Ameri-
cam Hawaiian steamer which had to
get away in hurry is also mentioned.
but. on the other hand. many people
declare that there have been count.
less days when steamers that did not
could have berthed at the wharf.
Manager Nichols Of the Hilo Mer-
camille said on Tuesday last that he
would work in every possible way to
have steamers discharge their freight
on Kuhio wharf. He instanced the
ease with which the steam schooner
Wilmington handled her big lumber
cargo at the wharf and he declares
that the lumber was discharged more
rapidly and with less damage than
any lumber cargo he ever had dis
charged at the railroad wharf.
There is movement on foot among
the merchants to see II steps cannot
be taken to force the steamship own
ers to patronize the wharf. Consid-
cradle pressure can be brought to
bear by the importers II they work
together, say some of the prominent
businessmen of the city.
On the other hand there are those
who say that II the steamship compa-
MES do not care to berth their vessels
at the wharf they cannot be forced to
do so.

NEGRO MAKES VERY
VICIOUS ASSAULT
UPON JAS. FISHER

News was brought to the city yes
terday to the effect that James Fish
er, white, residing in the Beulah
neighborhood, had been viciously as
saulted by a negro, at lonely spot
on the roadway, who beat him over
the head with billy"
Mr.. Fisher, it was reported, was
driving along by himself, when a
negro, riding a bicycle, passed him.
Shortly afterward the negro suddenly
appeared again from the bushes and
asked Fisher what he was selling The
white man said, berries" and be-
lieving the negro a probable customer,
started to display his wares, when he
felt blow on his head. This was
followed by another and another, re-
ceiving three in all. He was hurt
badly.
The sheriff's office had no com
plant last night of the trouble, and
no arrests had been made.
