Incidents In Hawaii's hlstoiy glvluj
rise to much bitterness which the pej-
ple are ready to forget. The sooner It
Is forgotten, the better.
Wnteh the Morning Organ lay claim
to responsibility for forcing Judge
Humphreys' resignation. It will tulle
notice, however, that the Judge's ri'sU'
nation has not jot been placed on Ille.
The Morning Organ's portrayal of
Dclecate Wilcox's opinions Is stronK In
Its failure to quote the words of the
Delcgnte. Confidence In the lntcrpic
tuttotis of the organ has yet to be C3
tabllshcd.
The nerve displayed by the telephone
company lu holding that Its present
system furnishes pioper lilephone ser
lcc, would cause no surprise should
an application be made to the Leglshi'
turL for n subsidy.
The only dllfcrence between the Boer

the.' old lady Is still on hand when
occasion arises for making a row. Mat.y
I evolutions and a flood of punitive ex
peditions will be necessary beforo the
young Emperor sits on a throne of pro
gresslvc Independence.
Hawaii's much discussed flag problem
Is ut last before the Federal Supreme
Court. This assures that the problem Is
about to bo settled for this generation
for which nil citizens will bo duly
thankful. The closo of this century will
probably witness the old straw thresh
cd oer again with equal ardor.
Colorado Is tired of woman's suffrage
and may Ellen Lease has given
up politics and gone back home. When
the usual cycle of advanced experiments
has again made Its rounds It will bu

Is to be gained not on the street. In tho
omco or among tho ward heelers but In
the motherly care of the home.
Now wo are told that prosperity In

THE IJULLETIN AND SETTLERS
Tho ponderous Morning Organ In Its
dotago has to grasp at some mighty
small straws to attack the Integrity of
this Journal. Having fallen In a heap
on the municipal taxation prpposltlon
our contemporary takes up tho answeiM
published by this paper to various
queries Bent to business men of tho city
Tho necusatlon Intended by tho maud

Jng to assist tho Immigration of Anierl
can farmers to theso Islands, this paper
gives ultra conservative ndvlco to per
sons contemplating Hawaii as a field
for manual labor.
Doubtless the Advertiser would have
the Bulletin urge young mc,n, small
farmers and mechanics to come to Ha
waii when It Is n, recognized and admit'
ted fact that tho controlling commercial
bodies of the Territory and even tho
much beloved government tlo not look
with favor upon tho nrrlval of men In
this country with no other capital than
honesty and readiness to work. Such n
courso would bo In keeping with tho
constant dishonesty of our contempor
ary but tho Bulletin has not and will
not lend Itself to such mlsiepresontP
tlon. Every pamphlet of Information Is
sued by tho "government," every circu
lar sent out by tho Chamber of Com
merce and It Is safo to say nearly ovory
letter answered by business men car
ries tho sentiment that Hawaii Is t
good country to keep away from unlcsj
the Intending settler has money to pro
Ivde for himself and his family
while looking ocr tho Held. With thli
sentiment prevailing In .governmen
tal and controlling commercial cir
cles, what nonsense would It Indeed be
to urge upon citizens of the Mainland
to Immediately sell out or pack up their
belongings and come to Hawaii only
to nvct a chilly reception nnd bo told
there Is no room unless they hnve
money to pay the price,
The Bulletin has no apologies to of
fer either Yor Its comments on tho duty
of owners of large properties and tho
government or Its answers to posslbl-
settlers. " I
The superabundance of Asiatics In
Hawaii has so far degraded manual anil I
agricultural labor, that the opening for
tho American farmer of the northern
states nre few nnd far between, unless
the sugar planters take nn nctlve, earn

tacking and unfortunately the recruU
lng of labor In Porto Rlcu nnd nmong
tho negroes of the South gives no prom
loo that It will bo taken.Thls condition

clination than ability to accomplish

The old time worn phrase that white
men cannot work In th cane Melds or
do other agricultural work In this cll
mnto lias been thoroughly dlsproirj.
The work can be done by the lndep"ii
dent farmer as he Is found throughout
the United States from Maine to Cali

effort now being expended on Porto Ill
cans and colored men weie dlicctcd to
wards obtaining a higher grade of men
for tho main Industry, the problem of
citizenship, labor, and oppoi Untitles for
newcomers would cense to occasion the
necessity of warning prospective set
tlors thnt Hawaii from the 1iortlie.ii

purposes a rich man's country.

prominent physicians has a very sick

doctor wero very anxious last night,
and It was arranged that If anything
happened, whereby It wus necessary to
c lumunlcite wlt.i the doctor) he. the
doctor, would arrange It so that there,
should be no chance of failure to find
him.
It ill -I become necessary to communi
cate with the doctor, who was immedi
ately tailed by his office boy, but It
wasj, found 'absolutely Impossible for
him to understand a word being said
b'y the parents of the child, so the
'doctor, fearing to wait, had his con

possible moment.
Tho public has been promised an Im

MtUlCHANTS TO THE FRONT.!--
Every buslucsi house In this city ami

the final inauguration of the Mcr

such an organization has been repeat
edly urged by this paper, nnd Its ad
vocacy has had hearty support
throughout the business community.
The series of Intorvlews published by
tho Bulletin a few months since dem
onstrate beyond the possibility ot n
doubt thnt a more active organization
than the Cuhmber of Commerce was
desired by tho merchnnts. They have
found as merchants In nil cities have
