expected publicity having been given
TO an extract from private letter re-
ceived by me in regard to the use of
opium by the pupils of Government
school," it is due the principals of our
public schools that the facts be known
On Wednesday evening last IN con-
nectlon with suggestive paper on
The Present Condition of the Ha-
wallans," read by Judge Judd at the
fort-street Church prayer meeting, the
question of the use of opium by Ha-
wailans was raised, and in that connec-
ton mentioned the fact that in a
letter which had received ''from one
OF the Oldest missionaries now resident
IN the Islands man in position TO
know the facts and in whose word |
had unbounded conference.-the amaz-
ing statement was made that large
number of children in a certain Gov
eminent school were already debauched
by opium" 1t will not appear strange,
OF course, not having the letter before
me, and having no previous intention
OF using the statement, but making it
on the spur of the moment, if failed
to recall the exact language used by
my correspondent now give his exact
words. Urging the necessity of every
one who has the interests of morals at
heart speaking boldly upon this "burn-
ing question:" he says
"lf you would look upon a Govern
eminent school with me and see a
large proportion above ten (yeals of
age) going into the opium dens about
them, and there debauching themselves
day and night with the opium pipe and
rum, would it not seem criminal to
hold ones tongue2"
AS the letter is private one | have
no right to give the authors name to
the public; but justice to the schools of
Honolulu demands that say that the
writer is not a resident of this island,
and hence none Of our city schools are
meant.

dent to intimate, neither do | believe,
that the principal of the school near
his home is responsible for or connives
at the use Of opium by the school chill

A telegram from Madrid published
in London states that the signing of a
decree by Cleveland by which 10 per
cent additional duty will be charged on
Cuban products imported into the
United States under the Spanish flag is
regarded as discourteous step, which
puts an end to all friendly negotiations.
1t asserts, moreover, that if the United
States Government persists in its deter
mination Spain will put American
goods on the highest column of her
tariff, and that the Cortes, which meets
in November, will inevitably intrust to
the Executive further powers of retalia
ton.

Why People Marry.

Some marry for the fun of the thing
and never see where it comes in. This
is discouraging.
Some marry for the sake of a good
companion and never discover their
mistake. This is lucky.
Man is a tickle "critter" Even
Adam, who had his wife made to order,
found more or less fault with her.
Don't marry man for his reputa-
ton. 1t is liable to be a second
handed affair borrowed from his ances-
tors.
Many women have married men for
their fine exterior. But that's all there
is to an ancient egg worth mentioning.
Marriage resulting from love at first
sight is not generally welded bliss on
par with sour milk. One or the
other gets swindled, and often both.
Nanny a man has married for beauty
only TO learn that he has paid $40 for
what can be purchased for IS cents at

But few people marry for pure love,
and they in after years suspicion that

the tender passion were, in all prob
ability, but the first symptoms Of chol-

GRAFTON, Oak, Sept. 10.-The Walsh
county Republican convention meets in
this city on Sept. II. to nominate fourteen
delegates to the Territorial Convention at
Yankton, Sept. %. They also nominate
fourteen delegates to the legislative con-
vention which meets here the last of the

register of deeds, treasurer, judge of pro-

sioner from the First and Fifth districts. The
twentieth legislative district comprises only
the counties of Walsh and Ramsey. in
which two councilmen and two represent
atives are to be elected. There don't seem
to be many candidates for the legislature
except among few soreheads, who are al
ways wanting something, but the county
offices seem to be in great demand, no more
than three for every Office, and l believe
some will feel very sick on the End of
November, when the returns come in. The

better. iAIr. Gilfillan was elected by

Merriman. Under the circumstances, it
would appear that the Republicans of the
Fourth district regard their majority as too
large, and desire either to cut it down or
else they want to assist in the election of a
Democrat. If they take the word of MIR.
Giltillan that a Republican member is of no
account because the majority is Democratic
in the house, they are probably DESTROYS of
the election of Democrat. 1t may be.
after all, that the Republicans have con-
sented to the denomination of Mr.. GilfilIan
because they regard him as very good
man to lead on to defeat. Happy thought,
Gilfllan discovered to be good for some
thing-gOod to kill. politically. That Re
publican nominating committee. maybe had
its eyes open all the time, and didn't mean
to nominate for the purpose of electing.
After the election of his Democratic sue
cessor, would it not be another happy
thought to send the gentleman out West to
be used again, while fresh, as a forlorn
nope against the Indians? When politi-
clan enters the forlorn-hope business. he
can usually find plenty of engagements.
