CONGRESSMAN HOWK, of Tennessee, is re

CONGRESSMAN HOWK, OF tennessee, is re-
ported to have said:
"The Republican party has no hope in any
Southern State so great as in Tennessee, and
they give us really the least consideration.
There has never been any hope in Virginia.
The successes there have been on temporary
and local issues While money and talent
have been wasted on Virginia the Repub-
licans of Tennessee have been making progress
for themselves without any outside help. We
can count every vote cast in the State. That
means much in fight in any Southern State
The highest Democratic vote ever cast in the
State up to 1884 was for Tilden in 1876.
Cleveland got 1872 more votes than Tilden.
Blaine got 30, 900 votes more than Hayes 1t
was solid Republican growth something to
build on and 60 on growing. The issues that
interest Tennessee are those of protective
tariff and education. The masses of the peo-
pie are protectionists On the educational
bill we have got the Democrats divided SEN
ator Jackson is for it, and makes speeches
that way while Senator Harris is opposed to
it, and talks accordingly. The capturing
of Tennessee would be to the solid South
what Sherman's march to the sea was to the
Confederacy 1t would break the backbone of
the Democratic phalanx in the South and
revolutionize the party"

Since the Methodist Episcopal Church has
been at work in behalf of the freedmen of the
South it has spent more than s., OO0, 900. 1t has
built about four thousand churches many of
which are, of course, small ones. Still these
must average hundred members each, for the
membership is set down at about four hundred
thousand, nearly all of whom have been con-
verified since the war. In the various ecuea-
tioral institutions there are over four Thousand
students in attendance. A vast amount of liter

"DamOn and Pythias.''

Tomorrow evening will be presented for
the first time in Honolulu Banim's great
play of Damon and Pythias." The cele-
brated writer Leigh Hunt, who witnessed its
first presentation, mentions in his memoirs
that he never saw more successful pro-
duction, or one in which the human inter
est was so strongly sustained from the begin
ming to the very end. The story of Damon
and Pythias is familiar to every schoolboy,
and shows the very sublimated essence of
human friendship, and what sacrifice man
can make for his fellow-being. Upon this
story has been founded one of the largest
secret organiza tons in existence, and we
have no doubt in saying its production at
Music Hall will draw forth large assem-
blage. The knights of Pythias should GER
tainly turn out to see this great drama.

ABOUT THE DECEASED.
There can be very little doubt that the
deceased, who was known on shipboard
as a very heavy sleeper, was overcome by
smoke, and in the confusion of the mo-
ment persisted before he could make his
way out Of the strange apartment. The
deceased was a naval apprentice on board
the Hartford, and bore an excellent repu-
tation among his nessmates and the
officers of the ship. z. S. Consul Nc
Kinley was present during the inquest
and took great interest in the proceedings.
The entire community have felt deeply
shocked at this unfortunate calam.:>

/ tiOnalities were mingled together trying to
! save their bits of furniture and scant bed
/ ding. The six cottages standing in row
( near the mill and stables were all much
( damaged by fire, and their occupants
looked very woe-begone, the women with
small children especially so, as they hud
died under verandas of other cottages IN
the same yard. 1t was fortunate for them
that they had not the snow and ice and
winter weather of other countries to meet,
when rendered houseless for the time
being.
A noticeable feature of the fire was the
admirable order preserved by all. Though
there was the Pantheon Saloon standing
unprotected, and in such imminent dam
ger of being burned that in many cities
the crowd would have felt themselves JUS
tilted in trying to save its contents and
secure unlimited drinks at the same time,
the place was not touched, and even
when the suggestion was made that the
fremen and sailors might have bottle or
two of whisky distributed among them,
the idea found no supporters and nobody
got drunk.
Before the fremen were ordered to
take up and 90 home, the Fire Marshal
announced that the Women's Tempera nee
Association had requested him to say that
the fremen could go to Notes and get all
the coffee they wanted. A large number
availed themselves of this kind invitation,
aud all blessed the ladies for their |
thoughtfulness.

NOTES AND INCIDENTS.

Amidst the hurry and confusion insep-
arabic from a fire there were some odd
and curious incidents. A weII-known
citizen who tries in vain to hide tender
heart under a somewhat brusque manner,
while he was doing all he could to save
property in the Pantheon stables, found
Dodd's celebrated white nanny goat tied
fast to an out-of-tne-way stable, and, to
quote his words, ''Ihe way she was blea
ing was enough to make any one take
pity on her. The tears were runuiii-.
down her innocent nose, and she cried
just like a child. 1 tell you, couldn'
stand it, but just out with my knife, aud
cut the rope, and led the poor, trembling
creature out into Fort street. Then, just
to show her gratitude, as soon as she got
there she commenced butting, and butted
me away down to Hotel street, and then
took care of herself very easilyW

About half-past o'clock yesterday
morning, Mr.. James Dodd, who was sleep
ing in a room in the second story of
Campbelps block, Hotel street, immedi-
ately opposite his extensive stables, was
awakened by the cracking sound of fire
and the pungent smell of smoke. Look
ing out of the window, he saw bright
flame rising from near the northwest cor
ner of the large building known as Ber-
tleman's mill on Fort street. Az this
locality adjoined his stables and was on
their windward side, Mr.. Dodd knew
that for the third time his property was
in danger from fire, and made all speed to
the stables.
