Out of the the cloud of advisers regarding the governmental situa tion here, Governor Cartel sounded the heart of Hawaii rightly when he concluded that Congressional action is the next approved step n the pathway toward County Gov ernment. ' It is the wish of the people nnd it is the logical step. Congress took the time and pains to annex these Islands. It will be strange if that body is not willing to take the time and pains necessa ry to give this group an American form of government. In fact if the administration in Hawaii were as recreant in this matter, as arc the fathers of annexation, even then it cannot be assumed that Congress would remain inactive, indefinitely. It will ultimately be not what the people of Hawaii want, but what the United States Congress wants. Governor Carter can speed the duy of settlement by hammering a way at Congress on the lines he has already laid down. He has set his hand to the task of' giving the people of Hawaii self govern ment. He has behind him the peo ple here; he is acting in accord with every American sentiment in and out of Congress and at home. We said he has put his hand to the task of giving these Islands lo cal government. The task, think of it a task to secure self govern ment in America! A task, after two political parties have won vic tories on the issue still a task! And a task for no other reason than that a certain monarchial grip in Hono lulu dies hard, very very hard. The ball and chain, which once festered the leg of Lopez, the only real desperado character in the jail here, was taken from the leg of the prisoner by the humane Andrews, before the taking effect of the County Act. Lopez' ball and chain was not struck off by Andrews suc cessor. That is lie number one against County Government and lie 54th thousand in bolstering up our present lawless sheriff. Bam.o, Lim Hin and Fu Kui were the three prisoners from whose legs the shackles were taken by Keolanui. These prisoners have not yet escaped and probably will not, for fear of giving comfort to Sheriff Andrews and his Munchau sen editor. CONGRESS AND PEOPLE OF HAWAII. L. A. Thurston in his newspaper still maintains that Hawaii does not want county government. His po sition is so eternally silly in view of the frequent sincere, positive dec larations made by all parties and the people at large that it seems hardly worth while to argue the question. The ostrich-like intelligence of the morning press is a lovely exhi bition of what some men are willing to do to accomplish their cuds. The morning press does not want county government, never did, never will. It has repeatedly been bowled over by the people. It elected a Home Rule Delegate in our first election and is preparing the way to elect another. It captured the Supreme Court, but has been re pudiated by the Territorial admin istration whose policy it now at tacks. It is lining all the force it can gather against the administra tion, against the expressed demand of the people, against American government. It is raising the carpetbagger cry with a view to appealing to the native Hawaiian whom it has in recent past and will in the future decry and defame. It says the fall elections can be car ried despite the failure of the county law, yet the fact is generally accept ed that the attitude of the morning press has been the most serious element of weakness in every cam paign the Republican party has ever made. (;ciiciui iiuiii Recognizing the ease with which I any congressional measure can be blockaded, recognizing the value to the Home Rule party of an issue which they will have by reason of continued failure of the county law, the plain duty of the Republican party and the supporters of Ameri - can government in this Territory, is to back up the appeal to Congress with an earnest vigor that will be convincing evidence that the thoughtful citizens of Hawaii sup port the appeal and the administra tion policy. That Thurston is without support other than his own idea. The minority force whose senti ment the morning paper partially represents is the same force that has apposed every progressive American step in the government of this Terri tory since it was organized. Nu merically it may include twenty voters outside Thurston. It does not represent united business sen-methods of control are the best: timeut, or the people at large. It . thorough cultivation and fertiliza does not bespeak the progressive tion; to keep the cane growing to element of the Territory that has its limit all of the time; the use of opposed retrogression and given the! varieties of cane most resistant to strength to Republican action that! the attacks of the leaf-hoppers; and, carries elections. j fallow the poor fields or plants on The question is now practically 1 them an intermediate crop for green up to a Republican Congress: manure, or a cash crop such as cot- Whethcr Congress will support the people of Hawaii in their effort to establish American government in the Territory; Whether Congress will support the Republican organization, Republi can sentiment, the Republican ad ministration, the Republican Gov ernor; or Whether Congress will allow Ha waii to remain subject to the will of its enemies whom Thurston leads and whose principles and views a Commission of United States Sell ators viewed and found sadly want- ing.

Hawaii Herald. 1 TI1K I.KAF IIOl'l'EK. Jared Smith (Jives Valuable Point ers 011 Pest. Dear Sir:- -As this is the seasou during which the injurious effect of the leaf-hopper of the cane is most apparent, I take the liberty to call your attention to some of the points discussed bv the entomologist of this station, Mr. D. L. Van Dine, in a bulletin relating to the leaf hopper, now in preparation, but which will shortly be published. The leaf-hopper of the cane (Per keusiella sacharicida) was intro duced on seed cane from Australia, at least four years ago The leaf- . . ti hopper is a sucking insect which feeds 011 the juices of the plant. ,. r . J - , , I he first symptoms of an outbreak of this insect are the formation of reddish spots along the mid-ribs of the leaves and on the stalk itself. When the insect is present in ab normal numbers, a black sooty fungus-growth covers leaf and stalk. This fungus feeds on the honey dew excreted by the leaf-hopper Unusually numerous swarms of ants on the cane also indicate the presence of the leaf-hopper. Most of the injury to the cane is caused by the immature, wingless forms. These congregate within' the leaf' sheath upon the upper, growing, succulent portion of the leaf stalk. ; The leaf-hopper may b;, to some extent, controlled by the introduc tion, propagation and distribution 1 of parasites; other insects and spiders which feed upon the hopper; or parasitic fungi which destroy the hnnnpr Hnivcvpr nil tlie. nntnrnl liopper. However, all these natural remedies require time to act and at hpjt thf relief it mwimmllp T?vei, nest the reiiei is spasmodic. u,ven though they may in the course of time liriim nhnut diminution in Hie time, nnng auout diminution in tlie number of hoppers, the complete pvicrmiiniinii nf this nnr fimiot- extermination ot tins pest cannot be hoped for by this means. 'IMn rntiirnt nf thi mist rrci nn lite control ol tlie pest rests on the efforts of the planter. Keep the cane growing and in a healthy con-, ditiotl, by the use of fertilizers and i.- 1. :...:.. .1. ..:.. .i. i.i ucuci tuiuvaiiuu uu.hijj uic v.uiu, rainy winter season.

As soon as the cane ceases to grow, the con- 1 ditious are the other way about, J Any factor that checks the growth I or weakens the condition of the 1 cane, increases the probability of the leaf-hopper gaining the upper ! hand. Abandon the cultivation of icauc on unfavorable fields, such as sterile washed ridges and uudraiued hollows. To continue to cultivate cane on such fields will be to per petuate sources of infection for your best fields. Burn all trash as soon as practic able after the cane is harvested Burn at night, because the winged leaf-hopper will be attracted from adjoining fields to the light, and many of them will thus be destroyed. Cut down and burn the cane on spots where the cane is seriously affected. Well stripped cane is less seriously effected by the leaf-hopper than cane on which the leaves arc allowed to remain. Preventative ton or tobacco. We shall be pleased at any time to examine and report upon speci mens of injurious insects or fungi that may occur in the cane fields or in conjunction with any other cul tivated crops in these Islands.
