Reyenae from Office Holders.
New York, Dec. 2i.-Henry George was
enthusiastically welcomed back to America
last night by large audience at the Cooper
union, presided over by Thomas L. Johnson,
of Cleveland who made fight on the single
tax platform for election to congress in the
recent campaign. Some of the vice presi-
dents OF the meeting were from Kentucky,
Tennessee, and other states besides New
York Mr. George In his speech recounted
his experiences in his recent visit to England,
where the single tax idea was now coming
into practical politics and making wonder
full progress. BE also pointed to the many
signs of a similar kind in this country.
one of the latest being an editorial
in The New York Times few days ago,
recognizing the single tax on land values as
the best and most equitable form Of taxa
ton A fews years ago The Times was bit
terly opposed to Mr.. Georges ideas. he
declared that the recent electoral campaign
had been very beneficial in educating the
people in the fundamental truths Of political
economy, and that this education would go
on until the injustices Of the existing system
Of taxation were clearly seen and it would
then be an easy matter to introduce the
single tax.
MIR. George said that President Cleveland's
last message showed that the leading men
of the country were being forced TO take
deeper views on questions of political econ
omy and social problems The country was
waking up to the knowledge of the dangers
that threatened US, in spite of the apparent
perfection OF our political system.
Thomas G. Shearman, the expert on taxa
ton, also spoke, defining the excellences Of
the single tax. Louis F Post and Rev. Hugh
o, PentPeost also delivered addresses.
Father J. O. S Huntington, who Is noted
for his constant labors to alleviate the con
dition of the dweilers in tenement houses,

The Boat Race.

Many OF the Myrtle Boat Clubs
friends gathered at the boathouse on
Saturday afternoon to see the six-oared
race between two crews of that club.
Among others were noticed Major
Wodehouse, British Commissioner;
Nessrs. F. W. Wundenberg, P. NJ. g.;
Thos. ]. King, B. Ordenstein, J. D.
Tucker, and a goodly number of
ladies. The race was between the
boats stranger" and "Aliee NJ. ."
both having sliding seats and patent
row-locks, the fiIst-named being some
what heavier as it is older than the
other. The crews were made up as
follows:
Stranger'-A. w. Carter (stroke),
Chas. Spinney, A. NJ. Brown, E.
WodehOuse, a. Lyle, James Spencer
bow, and w. Bruins as coxwain.s
"Alice MA. Robertson (stroke),
Chan. Wilder, L. G. Torbert, H.
Gum, Sam. Monsarrat, ]. L. TOrbert
bow, and Chas. Herrick as coxwain.
Mr.. Wundenberg acted starter and
referee, and he got the boats away
beautifully from line near the Kings
bOathouse. The stranger had the
heavier crew, which, squirting at the
start, put it half a length ahead when
passing the clubhouse This lead was
increased to several lengths, maintain
ed first TO the bell buoy, where the
turn was made, and then to the finish.
The distance all round is estimated at
four miles, and the winners time was
214 minutes, beating the loser By 80
seconds.
A crew from the Honolulu Yacht
and Boat Club waited for the racers
opposite the lighthouse, starting off
with them but only continuing a short
distance and then joining in for a spin
on the return. Although the race was
never doubtful, the performance of the
-" Stranger crew was a splendid exhi-
bitiOn. They rowed with the unison
OF clockwOrk, making 81 strokes to
the minute, and came home fresh as
daisies.

Judge J. NJ. Davidson, the eminent

people believe that the California

While the above statement as to

it cannot be denied that there is a
complaint of dull times among the
retail trade generally. There are
several reasons more or less forceful
for contraction in local trade being

business, which has only been parti'
ally neurahzed by the erection of

from the burnt districts rehabilita-
ton. Chinese competition in retail
stores Is another factor in the case
very frequently mentioned. An
Anti Chinese Union has been formed
to agitate for legislation against
having Chinese plantation laborers
on the completion of their contracts
entering the city to compete with
traders and mechanics of other ma
tionalities Doubtless one of the
causes for depression in the retail
trade is the changed public policy
from that of inconsiderate extrava-
gance of expenditure for unproduc-
tive display, to one of business like
application of the revenues to useful
and necessary purposes in the inter
est of the whole nation. with regard
also to the future day of reckoning.
Depression from such a source as
that Just mentioned may be for the
present grievous. but in the end it
will yield the benefcent fruits of
sound public policy.

Hilo Railway project has returned

Hon. S. 6. Wilder doubtless has
the sympathy of the whole country
