alleged Republican and an officer of the courts at that In view of the preparations for the meeting there was a notable lack of enthusiasm en-thusiasm Even the movers of the resolutions reso-lutions did not cum to have any great amount of iiiluruHt In them JCaulla only seeming to have any spirit in his attacks upon the Executive and the Secretary of thw Territory It took John Wise to movo tho resolutions and Emil Key bailiff of the First Circuit court to second the denunciatory de-nunciatory one so as to give up oven tho slightest interest In affairs nxd although It wets a fair little gathering It was re nuirknblo only In that the denunciations of the officials were put Into form of resolutions which commit the leaders as opposed to protection of the wellbeing of the people Delegate Wilcox spoke In part as follows fol-lows Tomorrow I wIll depart for Washington Washing-ton so that J can be there when CongrusH opens the first week In December 1 nm glad to have had this

Congress others go thero with anything they want done there and I oppose them their Work will amount to nothing America looks to mo and the Home Rule Republican party The Republicans In America the party In which our President Pres-ident stands are looking to the Republicans Republi-cans here of which we are members President Roosevelt does not make any distinction between missionary Repub llcuns the antimissionary Republicans and the Homo Rule Republicans but he treats them all alike as Republicans for they all belong to one great circle If any of these thrco Republican parties hero tries to monopolize everything passes highminded resolutions the Republicans Re-publicans IP America will not mind them That Is why those who petitioned to remove re-move Judge Humphreys were defeated We must stand together and work for the good of all petition to Congress on those things you need for tho common good I want to work to have Government Govern-ment lands distributed among you not simply three or five acres n s we see nowhere now-here In this Territory but lands that will be large enough for you to build your I homes to raise your own cattle so that you can plough tho field The three acres that aro being distributed among Komo are not large enough to rulsc rabbits on them we want liberal gifts such as the United States Is givIng to Its people I will protect the Interests of tho plantations plan-tations for uponthis ono Industry de Tieiids everything here but 1 will not help them In things trtat arc not right I will not help them take advantage for thom aelvea As to the labor question I have nothing to say now but L will wall and sex what those at Washington want clono an to that question I will work for all that IB good and If I succeed In getting SICOWttO for this Territory that will be a Ixwollt to us all Before I leav > you I want to urge you to stick together stick to the Homo Rule Republican party and to forget all the mistakes of the past Jf those we chose to represent us In the Legislature did not do what wo wanted them to do try and keep back any Illfeeling toward each other keep the bad blood within hold your breath move onward and when the election Limo ccmcs those that did not do asyou wanted cast them aside and elect others In their places You must also remember re-member that they cannot do all wo want them to do in the Legislature for there arc three powers the executive the Judiciary Ju-diciary and the legislative The Governor Gov-ernor has the executive power and we cannot do much when he tries to block our way D S The Home Rule party at their meeting meet-ing with Wilcox passed one of their usual want of confidence in Gov Dole because the latter has been compelled com-pelled to seek outsldev loans to carryon carry-on certain departments of the Territory Terri-tory because of the failure of the Home Rule Legislature to appropriate the necessary funds The resolutIon reads Resolved That tho Territorial Delegate to Congress bo respectfully requested to Inform the 1rcsldcnt and Congress of the United States Of the actions of the Exe cullvo of this Territory and to request the removal of Sanford B Dole for lack of ability to undci standingly Interpret the Constitution and laws given him for guidance guid-ance Resolved That the Home Rule Republicans Repub-licans In maps meeting assembled give notice of those advancing moneys or creating cre-ating other obligations to be settled by the next Legislature that they had better secure the payment of any obligation by seeking a personal bond from those contracting con-tracting for anything for which specific appropriation has not been made In the name of the Government Resolved That the Representatives and Senators of this party will go Into the next Legislature pledged to repudiate any unlawful acts of the Kxecutivu and make him and the heads of departments personally person-ally responsible for obligations created by them S o The Hawaiian Planters association met yesterday in annual conference and the report was given out that the sugar crop for the year ending November Novem-ber 1901 amounted to 3GOOSO tons again a-gain of nearly 75000 tons over the previous pre-vious year Next year with the output out-put of the new plantations the crop will amount to nearly 400000 tons The afternoon session was behind closed doors and nothing Is given out for publication pub-lication but It Is known that the later situation which has been very trying for the plantations for the past year was thoroughly discussed It Is understood under-stood that the Importation of Southern States negroes was voted against Porto Rican laborers upheld and that a commissioner com-missioner of the plants will be sent to Washington to lobby for the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act or in so far as it pertains to Hawaii It Is desired that the law be changed so that Chinese Chi-nese coolies can be brought from China to Hawaii for a definite period to work In the caneflelds However the labor crisis seems about over and the planters feel easier Reports nhow that all the plantations are doing remarkably re-markably well e Mrs J F Howell

law In Honolulu for the past year received his appointment last week from the Territorial Attorney General as the attorney for the Territory Terri-tory before the Fire Claims commission commis-sion This Is an Important position The commission was authorized by the last Legislature to sit on the claims presented by the several thousand claimants who lost their homes goods wares chattels In the fires authorized by the Board of Health as a means of wiping out the plague nearly two years ago S a Notice has been served In the Circuit court that the Hawaiian practice of giving away children for adoption must case The order was made when Judge Humphreys denied the petition of Thomas Duncan and his native wife Keau to permit the adoption of their child Thomas a tenyearold boy by Patrick Cockett The court stated that the father seemed able to support the child as he appeared to be a man of some means earning 5 a day and also a man above the ordinary in intelligence intelli-gence The boy also appeared very bright and Intelligent for a cnild of his years and there was apparently no reason rea-son for his wishing to leave his parents pa-rents It Is surprising to me remarked the court that the parents should be willing will-ing Co surrender the affections of this child to another The time has come when though we must pay some deference defer-ence to the customs of the race yet we should obey the laws oC nature and of the Territory It Is unnatural in a parent to wish to transfer the affections of a child in this way The tie that binds husband and wife Is no greater than that which binds parent and child and It seems unnatural that a father and mother should wish to do such a thing o o Mrs Mary J Young of Salt Lake City Is spending the winter here with her daughter
