EARLY ATLANTIC CABLE NEWS.
When the Atlantic cable began operations half a century back, the
mainland press received cablegrams in about the same proportion as
the Honolulu papers do now. The following is taken from an article
in the Washington Star ot recent date, neauea rmy luars vgu m
The Star":
Signals were dribbling across the Atlantic cable at a rather
tantalizing rate. In The Star of August 27, 1858, is printed a
dispatch from New York giving the contents of a general
news budget received from London that day and explaining
that no commercial news of any description had yet been
transmitted through the cable:
"London via Valentia, August 27, morning. The Emperor
of France will return to Taris tomorrow.
"The King of Prussia is too sick to visit Queen Victoria.
"Her Majesty will return home on Monday.
"By the treaty recently concluded with China by France
and England the empire is open to the trade of all nations,
the Christian religion allowed and foreign diplomatic agents
'' are to be admitted.
"Full indemnity is to be made to England and France 011
' account of the war.
"No mention is made of the United States."
"St. Petersburg dates to the 21st of August have been re
ceived. The announcement of peace with China gave great
satisfaction to the emperor and court.
"Dates from Alexandria to the Qth of August. The steamer
Madras arrived at Suez on the 7th, with Bombay date to the
19th of July.
"There is nothing important to add to Tuesday's advices."
With the rapid advancement being made in electrical communica
tion thes'e days, not omitting reference to the development of wireless
telegraphy, the time ought not to be far distant when the newspapers
of Honolulu, as well as the other towns of the group, will be able to
give the milk as well as the cream of the world's intelligence every day.
THERE IS A LOT MORE OF THIS.

, Among the arrivals on tno Alameda While Attorney Duncan admits that
"Wise men change their minds, fools never," is the best answef
ever made to the charge of inconsistency, which has been brought at
some time or other against most men or newspapers which have much
to say or do. There arc a few shining examples m the nation just
.now. Probably the greatest living American journalist is Henry
Wattcrson, of the Louisville Courier Journal. He has been Bryan's
bitterest foe and has assailed him in language such as only Wattcrson
can command. It is less than a year since Watterson was training his
strongest guns on Bryan and, though he hadn t the happy Honolulu
faculty of calling his enemy a yellow dog, he was enthusiastic and
severe. But Watterson has changed. He gave his reasons for a
change of mind, sufficient unto him, and is now pegging away as a
supporter of Bryan. Greater inconsistency there could hardly be than
this. But the whole political campaign is based upon hopecPfor incon
sistencies. The Democrats hope that enough citizens will be incon
sistent with their last recorded views to change the result, from Re
publican to Democratic victory. If the Advertiser's charge that The
Star is inconsistent regarding Wise were true, it would not amount to
much. But it doesn't happen to be true. The criticism of Wise pub
lished years ago would not necessarily affect the statement now made
that "he is the best material now available for sheriff." Moreover it
is six or seven years old. While only three months ago the Advertiser
remarked that though laukea appeared to be honest he needed a "steer
ing committee," and it now holds him up as the ideal candidate. Be
fore that, at a later date than The Star's criticism of Wise, it made
dark hints about Iaukea's "spotted skirt." At an earlier date it at-
tacked Delegate Kuhio in its severest terms. Now it supports him.
At still another time it -had 110 use for Lane and his "Sunday school."
Now Lane is its candidate for mayor. Then, again, Long was in the
Sunday school list and now he is given a daily Advertiser editorial
halo. Further, once the Advertiser roundly abused Chillingworth,--
because he was a Brown man. Last week it held up. Chillingworth as
a fine man for manager of the county campaign. And if one went far
enough-back lie would find the Advertiser saying nice things about A.
M. Brown!
In the light of all this, it is simply amusing for the Advertjser to
reproach The 'Star for inconsistcnev because it supported Brown in
his first campaign and opposed him in its second. We might add that
"Crown was successful in the campaign when The Star supported him
and unsuccessful when The Star didn't, though the Advertiser oppos
ed h'in both times". It seems that the voters were inconsistent tool
Bacon was a grafter.
By the way, does" Carlo Long believe in government by commission?
T., The birds of the air have nests ami the foxes of the Ground have
lioles, but Long is a bird who seeks a nest in vain and will find liim-
f'self in a hole.
' Haskell's charge that Roosevelt would pack a jury is pretty tough,
but it isn't quite as definite as" the charge that Haskell did offer to
bribe an attorney general, for Standard Oil.
The most delightful spectacle of the day, to the friends of the
consistent Advertiser, is A. S. Humphreys doing politics in the Supreme
Court for the Advertiser. And was it Humphreys who helped to write
that Advertiser editorial of yesterday? Shades of Yardley!
Iaukdfohas been in office a couple of years and borrowed $100 from
a lawbreaker whom he proposed to prosecute. What a splendid show
ing of honesty it was, said the Advertiser, a public officfal hard up
after two years in office could not possibly be a grafter! Calhcart,
-after eight or nine years in public office, is charged with not paying
bills. Huh, he's a "dead beat!" This seems to be a subject for an
essay on consistency. Suppose we -say that to change one's mind is

the stump If the outlook was unsatisfactory towards the close of the cam-1
palgn.
Managers of the Taft campaign have not allowed themselves to believo
that they have an easy fight on their hands this fall; quite the contrary.
They realize that the most Important states in the Union are doubtful, and,,
can be won only by the hardest kind of a campaign.. Now York is by no
means safe; Ohio, while reasonably sure to vote for Taft, can yet be lost to
the republicans; Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Con
necticut, Kansas and Nebraska are all more or less In doubt, due. in many
instances, to local issues or dls3entions among the republicans. All fliese
states are on Bryan's doubtful list, and the Bryan" managers are planning
hard campaigns in all states where there Is the slightest chance of success.
That tho President is concerned over the campaign was evidenced by
his letter to his Montana friend. Had the outlook been entirely satisfactory,
that letter would never have been written and glven'to'tho press. Had tnero
rot been trouble among the laboring men, the President would never have
gone so far out of his way to assert and to prove that labor has nothing
to fear, and everything to gain through the election jfot the republican tic
ket. Having written that letter, the President will Watch its effect. If It
tends to offset the attacks of Bryan and Gompers, ajjdiyholds in line those
labor voters who were Inclined to bolt the republican ' ticket, it will pro
bably be followed with other letters of a like character, from time to time,
as tho light progresses. But if the latter falls to have the desired effect, it
is quite generally expected that the President will Bmash just one more
precedent and make one or more campaign speches in support of the Tart
ticket.
In administration circles It is relieved the President's letter will have
the desired effect: It is said this letter was written at the suggestion of a
western Senator, who had talked with laboring men ill, his own state, ami
discovered their tendency to vote for Bryan. This Senator, it seems, found
not a few laboring men who had voted for Roosevelt In 1U04, who were
preparing to vote for Bryan. He talked with them individually, and round
them nil imbued with the same idea, that Taft was hostile to the interests
of labor. They had no clear Idea of how he was hostile, but they had
Gathered from what had been said by Bryan and by' Gompers that Taft'was
not their friend, and therefore ought to be defeated. In talking with one
laborer in particular, the Senator said: '
"You voted for Roosevelt, didn't youV" l
"Yes."
"Would you have voted for him this year if he had been renominated 7"
"Most certainly. He is friendly to the laboring 'men."
"Well you believe Roosevelt is honest, don't i'ou; and you do not ue
Heve he is a fool?"
"He is certainly as honest as any mart, and anything but a fool."
Well, now, you know President Roosevelt is your friend; you know
that the President vouches for Taft; you know the President says Taft is a
friend of the laboring man, and you know the President wants his policies
continued In force through the next administration. Having been intimately
associated with Taft through these many years, witli every opportunity to
know the man intimately; know his beliefs and his purposes, do you sup
pose the President would vouch for him, urge his nomination, and then
u-ge his election unless he knew absolutely that Taft was in thorough sym
pathy with his own Ideas?"
This set the working man to thinking, as It did all the others who
v ere questioned, and after several such experiences, the incident was related
to the President. Shortly thereafter came that Montana letter, and it' is
fairly to be Inferred that that letter was intended to checkmate Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Gompers in their effort to discredit Taft among the labor voters.
Labor has always had a great respect for President Roosevelt, aniT"when he
vouches for Taft In unqualified terms, his word must bo weighed with that
of Bryan and Gompers, and the balance will many times 'be with the Pre
sident. One of the most forcerul things about the President's letter, so far
as it app'Ies to Taft's attitude towards labor, is his proof of his assertions,
and his Invitation to laboring men to examine for themselves the record
of Judge Taft while on the bench. The record certainly speaks for Itself,
and tho President has shown the way by which every thinking man can
learn just what are the facts. Certainly if the record were other than lie
asserted, he would not invite inspection.
If the labor vote, or a substantial portion of that part of it which usual
ly votes the republican ticket, could be stampeded to Bryan, the republicans
would have extreme difficulty in carrying the various doubtful 'states. In
almost all of these states there is dissatisfaction among the republicans, and
Bryan enjoys further advantage through the fact that strong democratic
state tickets have been named, and In some, there are prominent local issues
that tend to strengthen the democratic cause.
not an evidence of consistency, but that inconsistency consists in "be
ing able to hold two contrary opinions at tlie same time."
The Star is pretty willing to risk being thought inconsistent some
times. For example, if The Star supports Wise now for sheriff and
he borrows money from a man in Isoi's position, without interest and
without security.and tries to explain by saying he doesn't know who
Isoi i, The Star will be inonsistent enough to try and prevent his
re-election. 1
