The Republican party does not care
to divide responsibility with theWllcox-Kaulla-Emmeluth
group for any char
ter they, may frame, nor will It be a
tail for any other party's kite. Repub
licans have but one duty to perform
and that, is to stand off a charter so
Ions as It is wanted by others as an
'Instrument of plunder. It is better to
go down In such a battle than to aid
an organized banditti to make spoil of
the taxpayers.
K. M. Boyd, formerly of the First
American Bank, has pone to Washing
ton as the representative of the Adver
tiser and the Los Angeles Herald. He
was -formerly Washington correspond
ent of the San Francisco Chronicle but
has been succeeded 1n that capacity by
Ira Bennett, brother of Frederick Ben
Tiett, formerly of this paper. Mr. Boyd
is an excellent newspaper man and his
Washington letters will be read with
Interest and satisfaction here.
The news from .our special corre
spondent that Congressman Kahn will
press his bill to make Molokai a na
tional leper settlement should stimu
late .the Chamber of Commerce to send
W.dele&tdon to Washington to combat
the measure. Hawaii cannot afford to
take the reputation which would come
to It after the eni ctment of such a law,
n'r JofeSift want, the leprosy, which Is
now slowly disappearing, to be perpet
uated here. All In all. the Kahn under
taking is a most serious attack upon
the prosperity of this group.
The French Chauvinists are after
England now and are letting Germany
alone. Gen. Mercler, who was smirched
In the Dreyfus case, is trying to restore
himself to popular favor by urging the
nation to turn its mind upon the inva
nion of England, a task which he re-
frards as lightly as Napoleon III. did
the Invasion of Germany. It Is indi
cative of Mercler's mental attitude that
he counts on the mutiny of British sail
ers to reduce the fighting spirit and ef
ficiency of the British channel squad
ron. If the Chauvinists believe that,
they are capable of believing In any
thing except the saving grace of
humor.
The question of why tourists do not
flock to these Islands need not be
asked if the steamship companies
would make lower ratf s. The rich
have their fashions In tra-el and of
late have been going to the West In
dies or to the Paris Exposition. Middle
class people could alway be depended
on to visit Hawaii if not scared oft by
the cost of getting here, and the rich
will come, as In the past, a't their own
convenience. Put down the steamship
rates and the voice of tie tourist and
the chink of his coin will be heard In
the land. Keen them tin "and visitors
wfll not disappear, to be sure, but we
shall always bewail their scarcity.
ELECTION AND CHARTER.
One of the local papers which are
making themselves willing tools of the
Kaulla-Emmeluth conspiracy to gov
ern Honolulu for the sake of spoils,
urges a plea which is strong only in
the revelation It makes of the weakness
of the municipal cause among the re
sponsible citizens of Honolulu. It says:
The people of Honolulu and of the
entire Territory decided by their votes
at the polls on November 6th that theyed. They were attacked by 2,500 Box
ments established In Hawaii.
This Is not true, especially so far as
Honolulu Is concerned. At the late
Vlection this city gave a Republican
majority and the Republicans were not
committed to municipal government at
this time. Their municipal plank read:
W" a t rk f tha aci t a Vkl 1 ah m 4v ft aii v
ty and municipal governments as soon I
as practicable. , I
livery Republican who knows that
two and two make four does not need
to be told that this plank meant the
organization of county and municipal
rule wbe,n the taxpayers should get to
be the voting majority and not before.

MERGER NAGS
THE BRITISH
Says That England May
Be Invaded
Easily.
V f
PARIS, Dec. 4. General Mercier
caused a deep sensation in the Senate
today during the debate on the naval
bill by pointing out the ease with
which England could be Invaded. -
He demanded the Government intro
duce into the plans for the mobilization
of the army and navy methods for the
rapid embarkation and debarkation of
an expeditionary corps. The President,
M. Fallleres, intervened, declaring that
such proposals were out of order.
In the course of an extraordinary
speech General Mercier said: "In view
of the possibility of war with Great
Britain, the use of the army is not suf
ficiently taken into account. The times
are not the same as they were a hun
dred years ago. Steam, the navy, the
telegraph and railroad have rendered
the- problem of invasion of England
much easier of solution. Moreover,
England itself is no longer the same.
The Transvaal has shown that the
British army,' although brave, is not
equaf to the task which England ex
pected It to perform. The British navy
is powerful, but it has many coasts to
defend. ' .
"France, therefore, is numerically
England's equal at certain points, and
is even her superior 3ri the instruments
of destruction. History furnishes many
instances of mutiny In the English
navy at the moment of battle. A land
ing in England, therefore, is not be
yond realization.
"This is not only my opinion but that
also of high naval officers. The British
Premier recently expressed significant
fars. and. If the principle of landing
is admitted, the practical means of ex
ecution may be decided..'
"I venture to think that the work
I prepared while commanding an army
corps could serve as a basis- for such a
project, which would not be expen
sive." At this point protests were raised and
M. Fallieres asked General Mercler not
to enter Into the details of the scheme.
General Mercier replied that the
si heme could be "held over the head of
English like the sword of Damocles."
and he proposed a resolution that the
Senate should invite the Government to
complete immediately preparations for
the mobilization of the army and navy
by preparing everything necessary . to
embark and disembark as rapidly as
possible an expeditionary corps.
Protests were raised from various
benches and M. de Lenessan, Minister
of Marine, followed the President's rul
ing that the motion was out of order
in the present debate by declaring,
amid cheers, that the Government
could not possibly accept It. v
NEW YORK. Dec. 5. A dispatch to
th Tribune from London says:
The English press Is displaying s'rnc
of Increased excitement over Gen. Mer
cier's speech respecting a French inva
sion and In thereby strengthening his
hand and enabling him ,to regain the
prestige lost during the Dreyfus trial.
The Journals can well afford to laugh
at It, Instead of taking : it seriously,
since the British Governemnt has not
shown uneasiness over the various mis
sion of French officers in, English ports
during the last year. Officers of the
French army and navy are constantly
talking about the possibility of effect
ing a landing in England. It is their
most interesting technical problem.
They have precise Information about
the defences of English towns like Ds
ver, Portsmouth and Plymouth, also
about the military resources of ports
like Liverpool. French officers were se
cretly occupied for weeks last spring
in preparing detailed drawings of the
fortifications of Dover and the defenses
of Liverpool and other ports and these
plans were filed with the proper depart
ments in Paris. The British Govern
ment was aware of these proceedings
but considered It a matter of no im
portance. -
