mulntion of that which collectively
constitutes a wrong that may prove
a real evil. And, do you know, I
am of the opinion from what I over
heard in the lohhy the other day,
that the complaint was finally
hrought through something that
happened to a resident on Maui.
It seems the man was after a certain
lot. Has made his application in due
form and filed .it. Then comes a
jiggoring in the land office to aid
someone ot the tour nunureu ana
the applicant is informed that the
lot will ho withdrawn and he can
pick something that will not suit
him half so well. Several letters
pass between the man and the offi
cials of the land office with no re
sult. He is imformed that the land
will bo readvertised, which it is
not, and again he writes. There
being less than the usual amout of
satisfaction coming out of the ex
penditure for postago, tho applicant
tells his trouble to his next friend,
Representative Correa, and the bomb
burst. I regret that it was not
handed to a niemljer of the Maui
delegation so that if there is any
honor coming out of it Maui would
have had it. Of course nothing
may happen. The work seems to
bo much divided and the right hand
is often not allowed to know whose
whiskers tho left liands pulls. In
other words Chief Clerk Tucker may
get a letter from a man regarding a
lot and will start the ball rolling in
a way that will suit. But before it
reaches its destination another let
ter is dispatched to the department
and Commissioner Campbell gets it
and sends something entirely dif
ferent in character from what Josh
sent. Then there is a lifting of
eyebrows and the applicant begins
all over again. Of course the dif
ficulty could be lessened, if not en
tirely eliminated, by Campbell con
fining his attention to tho demands
of (the Department of Public Works.
From what little I know of the Pooh
Bah of the administration I guess
one office is hardly sufficient to keep
his brain cells in training and the
community must put up with an
noyances, big and little, in conse
quence. The "Lumber Trust" which
everyone but tho lawyers and Judge
Dole, whom they convinced, is
satisfied exists here, seems to have
been only a dream. At least Judge
Dole so decided the other day. If
a man dare put on paper half he
knows, or thinks ho knows, there
would be interesting gossip for those
who use tongue and groove and
other grades and style of lumber
But tho law is peculiar for it says
somewhere that the greater tho truth
the greater the libel, so a fellow
would be pinched, and I am oppos
ed to that sort of thing. It must
have been a dandy case to try when
it took ten years from the time it
was started until it reached tho goal
It seems meet for tho lumber trus
tees to give a luau and invite all the
consumers.
That was a very funny scarce
Senator Robinson threw on the
deck of Seator Brown the day when
mention was made of the liquor hill
Evidently Robinson, on account
of his anti-missionary leanings,
was supposed by Brown to bo in
with the. Interests in the matter of
boozo and ho imagined, also, it ap
pears, that he anticipated a change
in tho bill. Brown opposed it
warmly until ho learned tho bill
referred merely to tho matter of the
collection of license money. Tho
laugh was on Brown and he joined
his colleagues in tho outburst.
Report conies from tho vicinity of
Laio of tho finding of tho body of a
well dressed stranger, a haolo, in
the sea near tho Mormon Settle
ment. Ho had been seen with a
satchel, carrying an overcoat over
his arm, walking along the road.
When asked by tho driver of a
wagon if ho would not ride the man
expressed his pleasuro at being al
lowed to walk. The next day this
name driver found tho body. There
was nothing about him to identify,
only three cents in his pockets; tho
Satchel and contents were nott.ili
sight. Nor was the gun. It looked
mysterious and certainly it is a rare
thing in this country. Possibly the
man went over the other side of tho
Pali, taking a somewhat extended
walk in oVder to find a suitable
place to shuflle off the mortal coil.
Thero were no powder marks on
the body and ho was in his shirt
sleeves when found. I havo heard
said it may develop into a case of
murder in which case Sherlock Mc
Dullie will no doubt find the man
who was behind tho gun. Inquiry
at several hotels and boarding
houses brought the desired inform
ation as to who the unfortunate was.
Major Woltcrs of tho Occidental
Hotel came forward and stated that
a man answering the description of
the one found dead had been a guest
at his hotel since last December,
that ho was H. D. Scott, formerly
of Sacramento. Ho had always
paid his bill in advance with a
twenty dollar note and seemed to
prefer tho seclusion of his room to
ixing with other roomers. Wol-
tm-u minllfa Mm iflon rf ai1iri(ln And
so do I. From the time tho first
report was received I was of tho
opinion that it was a case of murder
and I believe an opium deal may
have some connection with it. I
will admit my belief is not so strong
that way since Woltcrs made his
statement. The man, he says,
started to walk around tho island.
Ho had money the day he, left and
when found had but three cents.
Just what a man intended to do, in
a pleasurable way, walking around
the island with no heavier capital I
am at a loss to say. Incidentally I
would remark that about two or
three years ago a stranger from tho
coast, a guest at the Woltcrs hostel
ery, disappeared and was -not heard
of again until his skeleton was found
in Diamond Head crater. lie nail
committed suicide.
If there is any one in Wailuku
who cares to ask what sort of a
place Hilo is let him go to Conness,
the Herald man. I would say, even
to those of Hilo, who may some
timo want something from the legis
lature "Go to Conness." I believe
ho is not the most popular man in
the rainy city but he sure has a pull
with the members of the legislature
for he came down here backed, by a
shoestring and in spite of opposition
sent down by the interests he has
secured tho consent of that body of
law makers to the building of a
street railway on most favorable
terms. There's plenty of credit duo
him and I lupo his people will
accord it when ho returns to tho
water tank. What he secured was
through an amount of stick-to-itive-ness
that was worthy tho cause.
He camped on the trail of every
member of the House and made
rings around tho opposition so thero
was but one vote against tho meas
ure when it was called for a final
word. As a lobbyist the portrait of
Conness is entitled to a place in the
Hall of Fame.
I suppose it is worth my job to
say what.I think of the action of tho
authorities in hauling three hundred
men from a steamer, preventing
them from going where work would
bo more congenial and at the same
time ridding tho city of their unde
sirable presence. Costly to mo be
cause my remarks might be con
strued as voicing sentiments against
the best interests of tho country. I
am not going to say what I think
but I am going to jot down tho im
pressions of my cousin's sister-in-law.
Sho says Craig, tho recruiter,
is doing nothing moro than the Ha
waiian planters did when they sent
Portuguese representatives to Cali
fornia to bring tho Portuguese from
tho fruit orchards to work in tho
cane. Nothing moro than the Board
of Immigration did in sending Dr.
Clarke to Cuba to sco what could
bo done with tho labor supply thero.
Tho difference seems to bo that tho
planters havo money and influence
behind them and could not bo
cinched for trespassing while tho
poor devils who want to get away
and whom nearly everybody in the
islands would be glad to havo go,
aro out of funds and cannot fight
