WHEN CAT'S AWAY, THE MICE-
Judge Gilbert l- Utile of this
Circuit Court now' absent on the
mainland on n well earned sixty
days' leave, granted by the Depart
ment of Justice at Washington,
might well expect the petty criti
cism which squeaks from the small
bore gun nt the foot of Church
street. The exigencies which might
arise to make the absence of the
Judge a public calamity arc freaks
of a jaundiced imagination fully as
absurd as the dismal prediction that
the Judge may not return until
next fall.
Another story, proceeding from
the twin spirit of the small bore
gun is the "disguise" racket dished
up by O'Hricn, formerly an Adver
tiser heeler, now a free lance in
San Francisco with the columns of
the Advertiser as his best market.
Judge Little did not book on the
vessel that carried him to Krisco.
That was his privelege and he
showed his sense in the course he
pursued. To have booked in Ho
nolulu would have been giving
notice to suspicious and unscrupu
lous enemies like the "small bore"
who would have nt once sent on
the same boatn shower of telegrams
with the purpose of paving the
Judge's vacation pathway with
thorns. The Judge eluded the Dole
Advertiser spies by seven days,
hence the "Smith" story is con
cocted to discredit him nt home.
There are a few who would not
crook a finger nt the Judge when
he is nt home, who rise and squeak
merrily when he is on the other
side of the ocean.
PROGRESS IN. SIGHT.
A preacher of unusually devout
turn of mind was blest with an
heir. In the pulpit next Sunday he
said among other things in his
prayer, "We thank thee I.ord for
the "succor" thou hast sent." Alter
being bufTetted with flood and
storm, with bridges falling and
roads crumbling, the advent of a
program of activity in making pub
lic improvements awakes a similar
degree of thankfulness with nil
Ililo people.
Superintendent Hoyd has more
friends to the acre in the Ililo Dis
trict than any other incumbent in
the Capitol building offices. When
every thing in the District goes
wrong and. a howl of curses arise
against Fate, the man in the Public
Works office who is trying to make
cents do the work of dollars is.
likely to believe himself the target
of maledictions. The truth is far
different. When Ililo kicks, the
kick is against fate; her attitude
toward Mr. Hoyd is one of thank
fulness for tin "succor" sent and
the succors to come.
A BREAK WATER NEEDED.
All business men and plantations
financially interested in the quick
dispatch of sugar from the Port of
Ililo will see by the news of the
last month, how it would be money
in their pockets to have a break
water constructed in this bay at the
earliest possible date. Shipping
here were practically storm bound
for a month. The interests in
volved call for concerted and vig
orous action in behalf of this big
improvement. The business nieni
of Ililo and the planters of this! Hefore another issue of the Titl
Islaud should get together and 1 hunk appears, the Kuterpri.se will
formulate a plan of action with the have arrived in port and steam coin
purpose of obtaining early consider- uiuuicatiou between Ililo and the
atiou of the matter by Congress. Mainland will have been established.
Action of the vigorous never-let- Ililo's independence and larger
up sort; action of intelligent con- commercial importance will date
cert on the part of city nnd country from the day of thc arrival of the
alone, will achieve results. Hilo . splendid Matson liner.
has .supinely waited for .something
The
currents of prosp'
erity will run in
this direction only by the hardest
kind of effort on the part of Ililo
men to divert them from the easy
channels formed by the Industry of
longer headed rivals.
The business and plantation in
terests which will be affected by
Ililo harbor improvements could
well afford to send n special repre
sentative to Washington to work
for what we ought to have. With
n distinct nnd positive mission to
perforin, the right man could do
much for the patient city of Ililo.
The construction of extensive
improvements, not only would be
worth much to the shipping inter
ests here but would give employ
ment to hundreds of laborers and
put money into circulation in the
community which otherwise would
go into some obscure swamp in
Arkansas or Tennesec.
Ililo men and men on the wind
ward side of the Island of Hawaii
must take the initiative.
REORGANIZE THE MECCA.
It will be very gratifying to the
people of Ililo nnd Hawaii if the
movement inaugurated by the Ililo
stockholders in the Volcano house
results in making that resort a first
class stopping place. Such n result
will be equally appreciated by the
people of Honolulu who know the
delights of a sojourn of n week or
ten days on the edge of the crater,
if there were but good hotel accom
modations. The trip to the Volcano and a
rest of a few days at the Volcano
house is the most inviting part of
the Island itinerary of the majority
of the visiting tourists. The hotels
of Honolulu, in their showing of
inducements to bring travel to these
Islands have no better drawing card
than that of the volcano the road
to and from it and the comfortable
tavern of rest at the crater.
This being so, it will be surpris
ing if there is not immediate re
organization of the hotel proposi
tion along broad nnd generous lines.
A first class Volcano house would
claim many visitors and outing par
ties of Hilo people during the sum
mer months. This trade formerly
was an important source of revenue
to the mountain hotel, but latterly,
families and parties have preferred
to camp independently. The Vol
cano house should continue to be
the pleasant mecca of the tourist
and the tired.
REV. MR. CRUZAN RESIGNS.
The resignation of Rev. J. A.
Cruzan, pastor of the First Foreign
Church read from the pulpit by
himself at the Kaster service last
Sunday, breaks the bonds between
pastor and flock, which have ex
isted for four years. The sundering
of ties like these is a sundering of
nerves, no matter what be the
exigencies that may have prolonged
or shortened the pastorate term. No
man in secular life toils four years
in a vineyard, but that he forms an
affection for the vines. The tendrils
which he teaches to cling to artifi
cial supports entwine themselves
also about his heart. The fruit
which he plucks in the Autumn is
the joint product of the bounty of
nature, his own vigilance and
prayer. And when fortune calls
the husbandman to other fields, he
is conscious of pain at parting with
the old.
In the spiritual vineyard the
same processes are at work. The
husbandman is cultivating vines
which never die; he is training
tendrils which spring from the soul.
The fruits garnered, arc benedic
tions from Heaven and gratitude
from thc childrcn of men. Spiritual
and social ties are bonds of kinship
and arc broken heedlessly only by
the flippant heart nnd shallow soul.
HAIL THE "ENTERPRISE."
In honor of such an event, it wil
t0 tur P for rt long time.
be proper nnd fitting for the citizens
nnd business men of Ililo to give
thd Kntcrprise nnd her officers n
hearty reception and welcome.
Captain Mntson who will arrive in
his good ship should be given n
levee and every' handshake he is
given should mean loyalty to the
line which must some flay have its
Sonoma, Ventura, Sierra, etc.
A HOME INDUSTRY.
The fact that better carriages,
wagons, phaetons, harness and
saddles arc made in Ililo than can
be shipped from the Coast may not
be generally known, but it is a fact
easy of demonstration. The roads
of this Island demand heavier con
struction than is usually put into
vehicles on mainland factories. All
vehicles made irr the shops of the
Volcano Stables Company arc made
under a practical carriage builder's
supervision, a man who knows the
roads and what they require. t The
ravages of insects and climatic con
ditions, upon all kind or wood
work, arc also prevailed by treat
ment of the wooden gear before it
goes into the vehicle.
The nucleus is already formed
here for a great industry in the line
of manufacturing vehicles. The
consumer would without doubt find
it a saving of money to purchase
the Ililo brand ol wagon, buggy,
hack or road wagon. The industry
is worthy of encouragement qs1 n
municipal nsset.

Jared Smith, Director of the U. S.

sprouting trees n fair chance for
