was no rumor of cannibalsm
ever having had place among
them, but their loathing and
disgust were wonderingly
displayed when illusions to
this unnatural practice in other
places were made in their
presence. That they long ago
cooked the flesh of their slain
enemies for the purposes of
batting their bone hooks with
it, whereby to catch sharks

favorite sport among them),
not only admitted but des-
cribed at this day. There is
no proof, no evidence, no
tradition among any of these
North Pacific islands, of
cannibalism even having ever
been thought of, let alone
followed /; but, on the contrary,
the very idea was a revolving

y
appeared in several of our
newspapers the following
paragraph:
"The Sandwich Islands
were the abode of tattooed or
painted cannibals when the
Declaration of Independence
was made; when General
jackson was President the
islanders worshipped hideous
blocks and the human-devour-
ing fire-goddess of their burn
ing mountain. But before
jackson had closed his ad-
ministration they had of their
own accord, in consequence
of foreign commercial inter
course and the intelligence of
their chief, Kamehameha,
destroyed their gods and
temples, broken their kapus
and were awakened heather
without a religion. Then the
missionaries came and trans
lated the Bible for them and
taught them letters. Still they
wore only KAPPA cloth round
their loins, and knew nothing
of and cared less for shirts
and pantaloons. The first
American missionaries were
received at Waikiki by a nude
native princess fresh from her
bath. This was a'near relative
of the accomplished, pious
and lovely Queen Emma.
The son of the battered,
breechless father sits in the
halls of legislation, dressed
with Partisan foppery, and
votes himself lunches, laven-
der and stationary after true
American Congressional
fashion. The daughter of the
stark-naked, promenading
princess of the last generation
now receives European diplo-
matists in grand toilet and
with the grace of an Empress
Eugene"
There is good deal of I'M
truth in the above statement,
whether through mistake or
ignorance, and a blunder in
other matters than war is
worse than a crime in injurious
results. 1t may have been
seen in this series of papers
that | am glad to profess a
friendship for the Hawaiian,
and by that l mean the native
Kmakas of the islands. Ieven
believe in the political tenet
to a certain, nay considerable,
extent of Hawaii for the
Hawaiians. Young Hawaii,
the New Hawaii, may loom
up popular power in politics
ere many years or months
are over. And as a friend of
the Sandwich Islands / should
like to contradict most en-
phatically the assertion that
the Sandwich Islanders were
ever guilty of cannibalism.
1t is well known that these
insular natives are and always
have been deemed by natural
philosophers the highest order
and finest type, mentally and
physically, of all or any of
the colored races. There is
not the slightest tradition
= existing among them of their
having in the earliest times
devoured or subsisted on
human flesh /; on the contrary,
these particular islanders have

ception of eating fish), strict
vegetarians, living exclusively
on poi and fruit, and until

THE BANDANA BRIGADE.
Followers Booming Him for
All lie is Worth.

Thurman's Followers Booming Him for
All lie is Worth.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Red bandana hand
kerchiefs around high white hats were
the political rage tonight. Hundreds of
enthusiastic admirers of Thurman dis
played bandanas after the adjournment of
the convention, passing through the hotel
corridors and cheering for ''the old Ro-
man." Those who have entered upon the
canvass in his behalf, claim that he has
developed strength in unexpected
quarters outside ofOhio, but tacknowledge
that his own State is still divided. It
was declared that California, Texas and
Georgia could be relied upon to cast a
solid vote for him, and that Kentucky
and Indiana would follow in the event
that Carlisle and Mcdonald developed
none, and chat a portion of Massachusetts
and Bayards strength in the South could
also be relied upon.
CLEvELANDITEs PRoFITING BY TAM
MANY'S ATTACK.
The open attack upon Cleveland by
Tammany, however, is being urged as an
argument in Cleveland's favor, and three
Illinois delegates who have been unde-
cided were announced for Cleveland to-
night. 1t is urged upon Western and
southern delegates that Tammany should
not be allowed to point out the road for
the National Democracy. On the other
hand two more votes in the Iowa delega-
tiOn have fallen off from Cleveland. and
while strong effort will be made with
the delegate to vote solid on the first
ballot for Cleveland it is now said that he
will only have 10 votes. The air of the
Cleveland people, however, is one of great
confidence. They say that if necessary
they can nominate him on the first ballot
and certainly on the second, and that all
Of Pennsylvania and portion of New
Jersey will come to him whenever the
sign is given. The Bayard and Nc
Donald people are proceeding very quietly,
and nothing new has been outwardly de-
yeloped in their canvass.
BUTLER'S FORLoRN HOPE.
The statement that Butler is out of the
race is denied by Judge Abbott, Chair
man of the Massachusetts delegation. He
would not say that Butler would be placed
in nomination tomorrow, but would
positively say that he had not been with
drawn.
Tomorrow ex-senator Wallace, of
Pennsylvania, Will make the nominating
speech for Randall, and considerable in
terest has been manifested in the effort, if
no hitch occurs on the tariff. Balloting is
expected to commence very early in the
session, and If the claims of the CIeye-
land managers are realized an adjourn
ment during the day is possible.

TRYING TO KILL CLEVELAND.
A Rumored Attempt to Retire Him In
Hewitt's Favor.


CHICAGO, July 0.-The following cur
rent rumOr created great excitement here
at noon: 1t has been aseertained from a
gentleman occupying confidential rela-
tions with many members of the New
York delegation, that communications
are now being instituted between Cleve-
lands followers in the New York delega-
tiOns and his friends at Albany and New
York city, with view to uniting all fac
tions upon the name Of some New York
man and the withdrawal Of Cleveland.
At l o'clock this afternoon John Kelly re-
ceived telegram from a gentleman in New
York, occupying high political position in
that city, inquiring whether the name Of
Abram 5. Hewitt would be satisfactory to
Kelly. No reply has been made. This in
quiry, coming from such confidential source.
indicates that Cleveland's own friends have
suggested Hewitts name. Kelly is repre-
sented as being not unfriendly to
Hewitt. 1t is said that Cieyeland's
organizers held half an hours interview with
Gen. Butler this morning and rendered to him
the position Of Secretary of the Treasury
under Cleveland if he came to Cleyelandis
support on the first ballot. Butler promptly
replied that he conld not consent to hold a
Cabinet Office under a man so unskilIed in
politics as Cleveland was. In making this
reply to the overture Buffers language is
said to have been more vigorous than deli
cate, but it conveyed the contemptuous idea
above mentioned.

FAILURES IN BUSINESS.

They kept their account at the Bank of
New York, but the bank has none of the
firms paper. The firm is rated at from
100000 to $500, 900. MIR. De Rivera says
that it can hardly be called a failure.
The firm were large importers of sugar
and large exporters to Cuba. 1t is stated
that what sugar they hold has been fully
margined and will not come on the mar
ket. Their trouble is understood to arise
from the difficulties in Cuba and the pros
tratIOn of business there.
