Mr. Mead was dispatched to Manila
to investigate. The result was a

IIORMOR AMD KUCAK.
The second sansational spasm was
precipitated by Albert 1 Iornorshortly
after he pit ashore from the steamer
Siena, and it came in the form of
a published interview on the tariff
situation. So far as is known,
Albert is the only specimen of man
in captivity, who has had the gall
to admit that Wilson is the genuine,
article in the presidential line, and
that free sugar will lie a benefit to
the islands! Most persons here are
of the opinion that it is going to
send the country and the people
to Hades. Tho-e who know Al
b' lt, have no trouble to find the
fly in the amber in his case, and
they marvel at the limitless vindic
tiveness he shows toward men who
have grown well to do, some of
thrni wealthy, in a business that
brought him, after many years hard
work, nearly a quarter of a million
dollars.
Hut in Horner's case the trouble is
that it came to him against his will ;
he wanted to stick around and add
to the business of piling up dollars,
and let me say to you that all of
the Wilsons and Underwoods for
the next thirty generations could
not convince some people of the
benefits of free sugar, if he were
back in the business. Hut he is
not, and those who forced him out
of the plantation, and gave him in

and the more money they can l"se
throught the obstinacy of the presi
dent of the United States, the more
will lie be pleased. Saying that
slow ly, rather jars the nerves but,
what are you to think? There are
some mighty bright minds here
obsessed by the idea that plantations
cannot make money in competition
with countries where the cost of
labor is so much lower.
PINE APPLES.
Mr. Horner lias become interested
in a plantation for the growing of
pineapples on Kauai, in fact he
bought into it before he went to the
coast.
At this writing the pineapple
business is rather precarious; no
one knows what is to be done since
Dole took fifty cents a case off the
product without saying anything to
the other growers. Since then
anathemas have been plucked and
thrown at the young pineapple King
by all of the other men in the busi
ness. It is said the Dole company
will sink, or rather reduce their
sales, four hundred thousand dollars
this crop. The Tropic Fruit Co.
1 think that is the name of the
one at Pearl City having sold their
crop, will have to rebate fifty cents
a case, or something like a hundred
thousand dollars. Eames and
Thomas will dig up fifty thousand
dollars each.
One of the growers was asked why
Dole took such an unnecessarily
foolish step, and the answer was:
"To get even with Castle and Libby,
McNeill and Libby." Hut take the
Dole side of the business. From a
man close to him in executive
management of the great cannery,
comes the statement that for months
the product of other canneries has
found ready sale on the mainland
markets and, as the fruit is con
sidered as good as any put up, the
company wondered at the falling off
of the demand. A still hunt show
ed that other canners were selling

at cut prices and, when charged
with it, they said it must be their
agents, for they were innocent of
any deal. For a time it looked like
as if things were settled amicably i
Hut the selling went on, and it was
again found that a cut was being
made in the price. Again the
producers blamed it on the agents
on the coast. Dole said nothing
but his woodpile grew. Then came
the bolt from the blue that set all
of the island canners on edge; he
had made a direct cut of fifty cents
a ease, and said to the other fellows.
"I did it because of the over pro
duction and the falling off in a de
mand for Hawaiian pines." Then
the other canners came back with
figures to show that there is no
canned fruit on the market that is
in so much demand as the Hawaii
an pineapple, adding that the pre
sent crop is more than three-fourths
sold consequently there was no
demand for a cut, in price. Now it
appears there is to be a reduction
in the area of pines planted in the
islands, in the hope that the cost of
production will be less, and the
product not too great for the de
mand. Horner is going into the
business in spite of it .
RIDING SCHOOL?
Once again Honolulu has been
stung. This time it was by a
''Haron,'' who claimed to be a Ger
man, and who used French dress
ing in the preparation of his adver
tisements, which announced his
intention to open a riding school on
King street, on the site of the old
McCully mansion of years gone by.
The baron had large ideas, but a
small purse. He employed 'an ar-
'chitcct to make the plans for a
building to cost one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, and then
gave him a note in payment, fixing
the due date on the arrival of the
Sierra, on which steamer he was to
receive thirty-five thousand dollars.
Some of the town folk who had
given him credit became suspicious,

and importuned him for coin
whereat he felt insulted, and called
upon Count von Donckerwitz to
bear him out in his statemeiA that
he had money-to get. Evfn the
Count could not bore through the
adamantine hearts of the creditors
who wanted coin. Then he bought
an automobile and gave a check for
it, the check subsequently being
returned to the sellers marked no
funds. Other checks were given
and returned and then the baron's
light went out. There were war
rants sworn out for him, and Mc
Duflie attempted to serve them but
failed to locate the man lie is
supposed to have skipped to pastures
new on the S. S. Honolulan. Plans
for the great building, with its en
tire lower lloor, panelled on the
sides willi plate glass mirrors may
be had at a bargain, if there is any
one on Maui with a desire to invest.
The report of the sinking of the
w harf at Hilo must come to the
ambitious residents of the second
city as a blow. Some weeks ago
one of the leading non-believers in
Thurslonian progress, made the
remark that the wharf would not
be ready for three or four years
while Mr. Thurston was sure the
next crop of Olaa sugar would be
shipped from it. Of course the
man who picked four years had
nothing to go by except his oppo
sition the sinking of the wharf was
beyond his control. Unless all signs
fail, work on reviving the structure
will begin at once, and the enter
prise will be carried through by the
government.
