"Wo objoct to the distorted views that Dr. Bishop expresses," says the Editor of the Advertiser.

E.ch of tho advocates display Faith in their convictions and Hopo that the other fellow will change bis opin ion. Now givo us a display of Charity. THE PPKCML ELKCTION. The prospect of a special sena torial olt otion has boon received with marked apathy, so far as the formation of now American par ties are concerned. This soems to have been due to a feeliug that tho special olection is unnecess ary, and, tho fact that only a small numbor of people who can voto under tbo present administration tako ooough interest in this side issuo olectiou to go to the troublo of organizing sow portion. This being the case, tho only thing that remains ib to fall back on the American Union party, as that is tho only political organization existing. What tho future has in store for .this now sonator no ono scorns (to know; ho may have honor without work. At all ovonts the candidate for tho senatorial vacancy should bo tho representative of a party,he should be held responsible by a party organ izationai)d tho organ ization in turn hold to answer to the people for his action aud stead fast adherence to party principle. Sufficient time having elapsed for now party organization and that without result it is fitting that tho American Union party should call itsnominiiting conven tion for the flection of a candi date. Tho man or men whose names will 'jjo presented to the convention is not now apparont. QOVISIINMBNT AUCTION HALKtl. Tho circumstaucos connected with two auction sales of govern ment land that have tnkon place during tho past month have caused considerable comment and cer tainly do leave tbo publicvnry much in tho dark as to what methods can bo depended npon. A olerk of the Land office fold land at Kaunakakai, whioh had been applied for by tho American Sugar Co. Agoot Brown was absent from the oity.Tho clerk started sell ing on the slroko of 12 and A. W. Carter, who was oognged in court, arrived at t to Trout entrance after tho, land had been sold to a strangor. Mr. Thurston, attorney fpr tho company, immediately noted a protest of the sale, on tho ground that it was hold boforo 12 o'clock aud, if this wero not so, that tho applicant did not have roaODablt! time to como in and bid. More recoutly there was sold a lcaso of an Esplanade lot applied for by tho Hawaiian Electric Co. The agent' of company, was not in sight when the 12 o'clock whistle sounded and ho wastolephoned to. An ordor camo concerning tho bid and that bid went above E. B. Thomas, who had domauded that the sale proceed promptly to tho second. Thomas lost it aud has protested. Tbo practise in selling governmout lands and leases is that when an applicant makes an odor, his offor is made tho'upset price, and tho property is adver tised for sale by auction. . If the first sale was justico tho second salo was injustice, and vico versa. As Mr. Thurston states that his protest was not ro o guized, it would appear that the if regularity occurred at tho second salo. As Land Agont Brown remarked in a recent com munication, tho government is "not in the land business" not supposed to bo anyway and tho general theory of land sales is not to get as much monoy out of the purchasers ns possible. Due notice is given tho public when theso Innd sales are to tako place, and government omciais aro treading on dangorous ground when they tako it upon thorn solves to act as agents for any outsiders, whoever thoy may be. Certainly tliero should bo somo ruling so that the people may know" what to depend on. PUBLIC PAItK MATTKHS. Whether the iron wood trees at Kapiolani Park are to be cut down in considerable quantities as inti mated by tho Bulletin on good authority or aro to bo simply thinuod out as stated by tho Ad vertiser, tho plea of our correspon dent " Citizen" for a professional landscape gardenor is timely and worthy of activo consideration by tbo Park Commissiooors. "With the climatio conditions affording marked natural advau tagfs, Hawaii ought to add the best features of modern artistic beauty to its public parks, squares and driveways. Thero is no reason why Hawaii should be satisfied with anything but tho best. It is no reflection on the Park Commis sioners to say that the park is not today what it might bo. Tho situ ations is that tho artistio features of the park might be enhanced a hundred fold by a professional landscape gardonor whose special education and exporionco onablo him to mako suggestions and map out a sohome which would offer va luable assistance to tbo business men who have not tho timo to do- vote to suob work. S. M. D.imon employed an ex perienced landscape gurdonar in tho laying out of his Moanalua grounds and even tho most casual observer can note tho superiority of the geuoral' schome of his pri vate park over tho publio grounds of the city. It is true that tbo Commission is more or less crippled in carry ing out ideal work, by lack of funds. The permanent employ ment of a scientific ga'rdner is practically lmpoasiblo at thu pre sent time. If tho services of such a person were obtained how ever for a few months only, it would bo a movo in tbo right dirootion, and we. are inolined to believe with ourcor respondent that this much can bo done. Should it bo maintained that Kapiolani Park is good enough as it is and that business men are f ally ospoblo of deciding what tree or shrubs should bo planted or cut down, tho grounds of the Aala park should not bo forgotten. Horo is a park that is soon, wo hope, to be improved and most assuredly tho first plans should c'omo from tho hand of a soiontifio landscape artist. Continued from Pago 1. men are, and theso aro in a man ner born to tho profession. It also takes many years of practical exporionco to mako Ja man a good gardener in any branch of bis profession. It is as a matter of fact not expocted of tho Com missioners that they plan and direct tho making and planting of our parks; but it is expected of them that so long as thoy continue to hold thoir position as Commis sioners that thoir work shall be undertaken and managed in a systematic manner and that thero bo no work done by tho "rule of thumb." It is not for mo to here enter in to a discussion as to whether the cutting down of avenues of iron wood trees in Kapiolani Park to make room for lawns, as suggest ed in your yesterday's issue, is or is not wise, but I with many others do think that the Commis sioners should go slow in doom ing treos, that ou account of tho sandy naturo of tho soil in tho Park, it has taken many years to grow, and that befnro cutting them down or making any radical changes at all, that they should have tho wholo Park laid out sys tematically by a landscape garaVn or specially employed for that purpose. In tho end, wero this dono, money would bo savod and tho publio would at least be satisfied that overy cbango mado in the present appearanco of tho park, would in course of timo be ,a pormanont improvement. Tho oxpenso incurred in obtain ing tho aid of such a man, and getting him to draw plans, etc., necessary for tho work would 1 am suro amount to a fow hundred dollars only and his work if pro perly dono could be then carried out by a permanently employed aruoricuiiuriei una uorisi special ly engaged and who could oIbo superintend the work of nnder gardeners who in turn need be, for the present at least,only ordin ary every day laborers. I have been told' by professional gardeu ors in San Francisco that a suit ablo man to superintend such matters and ono familiar with the nomenclature and habits of plants could be imported here to work lor a term at QJ.UU per month with lodging, i. e. a man, who could at least carry on tho work properly for tho time being and until wocould pay moro. I believo our Park Commissioners are at this moment paying their Super intendent SCO per month with lodging, so that tho oxtra cost for professional services would not amount to vory much. Hoping that this letter may in part bo tho means of giving us Parks and Gardens which at somo futuro time may bt tho prido of tbo Pacific Beliovo me, Your obedient servant, Citizen.
