BOARD OF In every vote tho board divided four to threo, three Democrats voting against three Homo Rulers and a Republican. Chairman Todd, who has his own set of parliamentary rules to guide him, and mado his own motions, moved motion and amendment in tho order that pleased him most and generally lorded it over all. Captain Otwell is here and thero is a hope that ho may do. as he has talked - & 0 5 Tho Cunha Alley chairman has given a certificate of character to Coclho, nd if Coclho has any sense of gratitude ho will return tho favor. Ono ccrtifi-tat- o ought to bo as good as tho other, and both aro needed. i Jt Jt Jt Tho valuo of county government ns administered by its friends is shown in tho fiscal returns of tho County of Hawaii. But for tho saving inDucnco of thoso to whom tho multiplication of governments hero novcr appealed, tho County of Onhu would bo in an even worse fix. On Hawaii a dobt of somo $40,000, wilh nothing to show for it, has boon incurred, tho moro pressing elalms of which havo been met out of taxes collected to mcot expenses fcr 'tho aext fiscal year. Having dono this, tho Supervisors, in the interest of thoir politics, removed tho road supervisors now in ofllco and put four Homo Rulers 5n their places. These gentry are expected to employ as many votors as possible, so as to keep them in lino for election day. Of course, they will merely pro tend to work on tho roads, and tho money given them will bo almost tho samo as a gift. In tho end, as is estimated, tho County of Hawaii will begin another alendar year $100,000 in dobt. How this debt is to bo paid tho Homo Rulers don't know. Their Territorial platform suggests that authority bo got to Borrow money by counties, tho taxpayers being oxempt from paying tho prin-tipa- l or interest. Not ley's AVebsterian brain is supposed to havo evolved this remedy. V J J ,J Some names aro before tho public that uto well worth tho notico they aro Sotting. Robert Shingle's is ono. Ho is mentioned for tho House and ho should 3ve no trouble in reaching it. Thero are bo many loaks in tho Legislature that thero ought to bo moro shingles, John Lane is out for Sheriff, and if the Republicans nominato him ho can havo my vote without tho asking. Mo an' tho Queen could do a lot for him, and that it no examplo of canned humor, either. Tho Queen says she pressed that thousand on Lane, and as long as Bhe Is satisfied with John tho only issue that could havo been used against him is a dead ono. w J S C' 3 wont around talking with people a good deal last weok about government by commission, nnd this is what I found: Tho untivo nnd Portuguese voters said no. They wanted tho pecuniary benefits of politics. All tho littlo politicians said no for similar reasons. Tho big politicians who havo an eyo on governorships and scnatorships took a grand nir and said they would not be a party to tho denial of tho right of to tho natives. W. O. Smith jcas so-- anxious on tho subject that ho camo out in two solemn and admonitory interviews designed to striko torror to the breasts of tho dcspoilors of Amori-en- n liberty. As soon as ho had been hoard from, the Town Calf blattcd in tho samo key. However, when I got nfnong tho taxpayers who havo no political aspirations 1 found a genuino liking for the idea. To get rid of these political scavengers onco and for nil; to cut taxes in half; to havo government roads Hie thoso in Bermuda; to havo our public health cared for by tho Federal power and at tho Federal expense; to opon up tho land to to increnso K ihe population of white settlers; to have a military police, a constabulary, paid ly tho Unitod States; to havo tho influcnco of a powerful commission forever at work on Congress to get us things all this suited my taxpaying friends jown to the heels. And in discussing the matter how they scorned tho claptrap of the politicians. We are going to have government by commission somo day. Just wait and see. m J J . .Teor Link! If ono gets next to any observing Democrat, lie will whisper to you that Link has no more chance than a snowball in Hnlemaumau.

Bryan's man for Hawaii is K. B.

Bv a recent distribution of tax funds, this county came into $40,000. nnd the ucncits v.erc met in a manner and tho most pressing liabilities paid, lenvinc some $20,000 in the treasury at present. But, now, tho majority of the board, the Home Rulers helped by tho one Republican, Supervisor Supc, have cut loose and from now on until after tho elections it is probable that nothing v.

By putting in new road supervisors and making them re sponsible to none 01 the individual supervisors, hut the board itself, all local restraint in expense is taken off, and from now on the road laborer is to bo not only worthy of his hire, but worthy of being treated like a man with a vote.

It will be scon from this that between tho highest prices during August and tho prosent quotations thero is in a number of stocks a considcrablo falling off. Somo stocks havo advanced owing to special conditions. Ookala, for instance, has advanced $1.75. This is, of course, duo to tho surprising crop tho place yielded this year, the full amount of which and its Bigulficnnco is just beginning to bo realized. Onomea is at $31, par valuo $20. But tho dividends for tho remainder of tho year at least will be 5 por cent, a month. Hawaiian Commercial has receded $4 a share, just why no ono knows. Ewn and Oahu have both receded a little, and so havo other Btocks on tho list. Price of Sugar. , Apparently becnuso sugar is now 3.883c when it was about 4.50c, tho feel ing has growa that sugar is low. Tho truth is that as compared with tho aver-ag- o tho present prieo of sugar is high. Mail advices throw littlo light on tho reasons for tho sagging in the pneo of sugar. Ilia statistical situation rcmnins tno same, in tuo united States three ports, for the week ending August 18, tho receipts wero 31,000 tons, meltings 37,000 tons, stock 248,841 tons; tho same week last year they wore, recoipts 47,971, meltings 37,000, and stock 3,8(3 tons. Cuba and Europe Smith & Schipper report under dato of August 21: "The weather condi tions in Cuba continue favorable for tho now crop. Stocks of old crop sugar havo been reduced to such an extent that supplies from that market aro now a vory small factor in tho situation." Regarding tho European situation this same authority says: "This mar ket has continued to decline, and .today opens at 9s 9d f. o. b. for August and 9s 8Md for Septcmbor. These quotations aro a littlo lower than tho samo last year, and thoy certainly seem low enough when it is takon into consideration that tho invisible stocks all over the world must bo vory small, and much less than a year ago, and under tho circumstances the consumption during tho next tweho months should show a largo increaso at anything like present prices." End of Crop Year. Tim crop jear for statistical purposes will closo the laBt day of this month. That is thrco weeks hence, but duriug that timo quito a number of plantations will finish grinding for the season, so that it is reasonably certain that most of tho plantations will havo finished their grinding in timo to includo tho wholo of their crops in the statistics for this year's crofy though there may bo Bomo limitations which will not. Tho crop, it is now reasonably certain, will be not far from 520,000 tons. Kahulul Railway Extension. Tho Knhului railway is surveying an extension of its lino from Pain to tho Haiku Fruit and Packing Company's mill, ' Tho dlbtanco is nbout fivo miles, but as it crosses the Malikp gulch construction will bo very expensive. Only tho roughest kind of estimates havo been mado of tho probablo cost, nnd thoso run ns high as thrco hundred thousand dollars. Tho survey is being made by Mr. Collins. Tho extension will open up thoroughly tho wholo pineapplo ro' pion. This year's crop was hauled by wagon to Paia station, nnd probably as cheaply as tho railroad could havo hauled it, becauso of tho amount of capital required to build tho railroad. This year's crop amounted to 50,000 casos of canned pineapples. But next year's pack is expected to amount to 100,000 casos. This, too, might bo hauled by wngon witliin tho limit of profit. But it would bo utterly impossible to linul a larger crop than thnt b.y wagon, nnd the cry largo extension of tho industry is reasonably expected. With tho railroad cxtonded. other cannorics. if they should bo startod, can bo takon caro of. It is not certain thnt tho rond can bo oxtondod in timo to caro for next jear's crop because of tho expensive nnd difficult construction which is necessary. Drought in Kula. T. P. Cooko has just returned from summering on Maui. Ho sayB that the drought still continues in Kula and is growing worse. Ho saw ono bunch of Halcakala ranch region was continually thronged by pcoplo who came miles to got water for domestic me. "I don't see why some way can not bo found,"' said he, "to expend tho necessary thirty thousand dollars or such a matter that it would cost to put in a two-inc- pipe. Thoro is water onough. Mr. Kluogcl found that out. "Pcstilenco and invasion aro emergencies that clvo tho govornmont tho right to act. Why shouldn't such a drought ns Kula is now sufforingT "Only a few miles from Kula in the ditch region of Maui conditions aro oxcollcnt. Tho ditches aro running full and thcro is an abundance of wator for all purposes," Sake Brewing Company Formed. Articles of association of tho Honolulu Japaticso Sako Browcry Company have Lccn tiled with the Territorial Treasurer, iuc company is to have a capital of $30,000, and besides tho brewing of sako it is authorized to conduct n wido variety of morchnndiso business, to establish bonded wurchouscB, and establish and operate refrigerating and cold storage plants und icehouses. It expects to establish its plant in Pauoa Valley, and to tako over tho sake brewing llnccnse issued to Sumida and Kojima. Tho Rat Campaign. Honolulu in its rnt campaign is now destroying more rats por week in pro. portion to its size than any other city in tho United States. In addition to trapping and other means of destroying rats, tho shotguu has been resorted to with success, especially against tho tree rats. A Posthumous Son.

Tho convenient littlo coin has boon scarcer than tho needs of rotall trade required, and thoro lias been a gonernl hustlo by tradcspeoplo to securo enough to meet tho of their business. Tho banks havo been careful of tho supplies tb,y had, and requests for nickels in quantity havo not alwnys been complied wftTa for tho full amount. Tlio reason for tho temporary scarcity is that just at Chss timo thero is nn unusual demand for them from tho plantations where they are now settling up with contractors, Tho ndvont of tho fleet has also brought a considerable increaso of population and of persons who swell the volume, of retail trade. Tho Bank of Hawaii imported 4( 000 nickels n few days ago, and expects nnothor quantity this week. Tho nickels sent out to the plantations will probably bo coining back within a few days and tho shortage is not likely to last long. Appraisers Return. Willard E. Brown and Byrou O, Clark relumed yestorday from Mnui, where thoy wont to nppraiso the government land of Omuopln and tho Baldwin lands of Haiku, which have been olTerod in exchnngo for it. H GOATS REPAIRED RESERVOIR. At Cokctlalc, a camp of the American Sincltinp and Refininp: Company, leaky reservoirs have been giving- more or less trouble ot late and many schemes had been tried to stop the leaking-- , without avail, until Superintendent Daylcs and Entrincer Sutton hit uno the idea of turning a herd of goats into the reservoir. After the goats had thoroughly trampled down the bottom o the basin water was again turned in and the reservoir holds as weTl as1 if it hacj been freshly cemented. Trinidad (Colo.)
