The swsstnss, Of Oblivion.

I suppose we all, those of Us who
write in verse or prose, have the ha-
bitual feeling that we should like to
be remembered. II is to be awake
when all of those who were round us
have long been wrapped in slumber.
II is 4 pleasant thought enough that
the name by which we have been call.
cd shall he familiar on the lips of
those who como after lls, aud the
thoughts that wrought themselves out
In our intelligence, the emotions that
trembled through our frames, shall
live themselves over again in the
minds and hearts of others.
Rut is there not something of rest,
of calm, in the thought of gently and
gradually fading away out of human
remembrance What line have we
written that was on level with our
conceptions? What page Of ours that
docs not betray some weakness we
would fain have left unrecorded2 To
become a classic aud share the life of
language is to be ever open to criii-
cisms, TO comparisons, TO the capriccs
of successive generations, to DO called
into court and stand a trial before a
new jury, once or moro than once In
every century. To be forgotten Is to
sleep In peace with the undisturbcd
myriads,nO longer subject TO The chills
aud heats, the blasts, the slcct, the dust,
which assail in endless succession that
shadow of a man which we call his
reputation. The line which dying we
could wish to blot has been blotted
out for us by a hand so tender, so pa-
tiest. so used to its kindly task, that
the page looks as fair as If il bad never
borne the record of our infrmity or
our transgression.
But @Ignotus" and aMiserrimusr arc
of tho great majority in that vast as
sembly, that House of Commons
whose members are all peers, who're
TO be forgotten is the standing rule.
The dignity of n silent memory is not
to DO undcrvalucd. Fame Is after all
n kiud of rude handling, aud a name
that is often on vulgar lips seems to
borrow something not 10 be desired,
as the paper money that passes from
hand to hand gains somewhat which
is loss thereby.
D sweet, tranquil rest ofoblivion, so
far as earth Is concerned, for as poor,
laundering, stammoring, misbchaying
creatures who can not turn over leaf
of our lifc's diary without feeling
thankful that its failure can no longer
stare us In the face! Not unwclcome
shall be tho baptism OF dust which
hides forever The name that was given
in the baptism of watcr We shall
have good company whose names are

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-01-13

The sectional hate that so long
ruled American politics and was so
wickcdly kept alive by unprincipIod
demagogues, has at last yielded up
its aceursed ghost. An ex.confeder-
ate soldier is in the speakers chair,
and he has given rather moro than
half Of the committee chairmanships

Ell debt" and pensioning the confed-

these old hates will be an immense
gain to the cause Of good government.
Hereafter political questions will be
discussed on their merits without ref

SIX-PAGE EDITION


TOMORROW Mrs. Florence Will
Hams begins a course Of six morn
ing lectures intended particularly
for ladies. Mrs. Williams is we'll
and favorably known to the ladies
of Honolulu, as we'll as TO the
general public, as this IS, we be-
lieve, her third visit to these
Islands. Those who have heard
her speak do not need to be re-
minded that her lectures are we'll
worth hearing, as they bear wit
ness not merely to great natural
gifts, but to wide attachments as
well. Mrs. Williams is fluent and
magnetic talker, and no one who
hears her can fail to be stimulated
and helped. She teaches people to
THINK when they read. 1t is to be
hoped that the general public, as
we'll as the ladies, will have an
opportunity to hear Mrs. Williams
before she returns to the Coast.

EVANGELICAL COUNCIL.
Formal Report of the Hawaiian
Delegate.


Central Union Church was fairly
well filled with churchgoers Sun
day evening to hear Judge McCully
give an informal report Of his mis-
sion, as delegate from the Hawaiian
Evangelical churches, to the Inter
national Council, held in London
during the month of July, 1891.
The Judge began by thanking
the Hawaiian churches for the
honor they conferred upon him in
commissioning him as their dele
gate, without which his tour would
have been commonplace. The
council was held at the Memorial
hall on July II, and lasted ten
days. Dogmatic utterances were
avoided. The council consisted of
800 delegates, 100 from England,
100 from other parts of Great Brit
ain and 100 from the United States,
Canada, Australia and elsewhere.
There was always full attendance
during the convention, it being the
first council of the kind ever
held, with moro to follow
at an interval of several years.
Unfortunately, the originators Of
the council, Drs. Dexter (of Bos-
tony and Hanney (of England) had
both died a few days before the
council sat. Rev. A. Spcer re-
celved large number of delegates
as guests at his forest home, which
was exceedingly palatial. Elegant
hospitality was extended to every
one. The first meeting was by
the American and colonial dele
gates. The programme consisted
of entertainments, breakfast, sup
per, and reception. Mr.. Holling-
worth, NJ. P, presided. On the
following day, communion service
was held, preceded by an address
by DR.. Dale on "The Divine Life in
Man" 1t was serious sermon,
and the sentiments expressed re-
ceived the endorsement of all.
The addresses which followed
were limited to twenty minutes,
and many in consequence were
left unfinished. The proceed
ings of the council have been
printed IN pamphlet of 400 pages.
The popular belief among members
of the council that Hawaii was one
of the South Sea groups, the
speaker had embraced the opportu-
nifty to contradict, as well rs to
give them some other much-needed
information. A sermon preached
by Rev. DR.. Goodwin, of Chicago,
had been received with general
disfavor, as that dignitary had pre-
sented the old hard and unrelent-
ing Puritan doctrines.
1t being $3.50 o'clock, the speaker
abruptly finished his report, and
after the usual services the audi
ence dispersed.

a NEW BOOK ON HAWAII.

We are indebted to the Hawaiian
News Company for a copy of g Our
Summer in Hawaii" by Miss Helen
Mather 1t is a dainty twelve-mo
volume of about three hundred
pages, with a very attractive APP
pearance, issued from the press of
the Cassell Publishing Co.." of
New York, and embellshed with
some twenty or thirty illustrations.
Miss Mather arrived here in May,
1890, remaining a few months, and
during her stay visited Maui and
Hawaii. In this volume she mar
rates, in very charming, attractive
style, the various scenes and enter
tainments she witnessed
The volume illustrates how much
pleasure a tourist can derive from
IL short visit to our isles, when
viewing the novel scenes every
where met with a determination to
enjoy them to the utmost. Her
story is told in bright, racy lam
guage, which cannot fail to enter
tain the reader from the first page
to the close, while some of her
anecdotes and experiences are
quite amusing. The effect will be
to induce many others to follow
and see for themselves. She evil
IDENTIFY left our shores with many
regrets, for on one Of the
closing pages she says: When
Hawaii is far behind me, I
know [ shall visit it in dreams,
but alas, L shall awake with an I'M
satisfied longing in my heart" In
another place she remarks that if
Hawaii was not the original gar
den of Eden, it ought TO have been.
In the preface, opposite page 4,
she copies the very expressive
chart of the pacific Ocean, show
ing the relation of the principal
ports and naval stations to the Ha-
waiian islands," from the cover of
the Guide Book, which has his
tory of its own. 1t was this unique
map, designed by the editor of the
Guide and first published in small
pamphlet by him urging the pas
sage of the Reciprocity Treaty in
1885, that is said to have decided
the question Of its renewal, then
| pending in Congress with strong
opposition and heavy odds against
it. In the language OF one then in
Washington: can examination Of
this map by members of Congress
silently broke the back of the op
position and saved the treaty" We
are glad to see it reprinted in Miss
Mather's book, for it tells a power
full tale in favor of Hawaii's future,
as the central crossroads Of the
Pacific in the great future before it.
Miss Mathers book can be had
at the News Company's, in this
city, and it should be in every
library.

The New Year has begun
and we've turned another leaf
in the book of life. The page
is as white as the snow that
caps majestic Maunaloa. Now
fetch along your resolutions.
Here's ours
Better goods than e0er; 10z0er
prices than haze been dreanut Of
in yO~r PHILOSOPHY and absolute
satisfaction. We've made
other resolutions, too, but
those in italics are the ones
we intend keeping during
1892. We say this with the
same ardor as does the fellow
who declares he will shake all
the bad habits he INDUCED in
during the year just closed;
but we will keep ours. Watch
us )!
There are a dozen estab-
lishments of the :" art preserv-
alive in Honolulu, maybe
more. In each one every en-
ployee from the de0jl up knows
the disadvantage Of the ordin-
airy carpenters mallet used in
planning when it comes to
making up forms ; the plane
goes to pieces and the splinters
drop in among the type !;
there's a sulphurous halo
around the foreman's head
and the paper goes late to
press. This may be avoided
if checked in time by the use
of a new Undiscovered Mallet
which we have just imported
for use in printing offices.
Light or middle-weight as you
wish.
One magnificent banquet
lamp remains from the holiday
exhibition. A beauty in every
respect; a little different in
style from anything else in the
line; so different that it would
take a littery Teller" to tell
Just what it is. Well wager
anything there isn'ta duplicate
Of it in the Kingdom. We
buy the finest lamps imported
here, so we know.
Silver Toilet goods, Mirrors,
Frames and What-not. CON-
mercjally silver, but you may
be assured in some stores that
similar goods are solid silver,
or, at least, that the metal
parts are. The factis that the
basic metal is white compost
ton, covered heavily with sill
yer and lacquered. The result
is durability and elegance and
they are not discounted a sin
gle whit, because you know
the worth of them. What
sort of good resolution would
we keep if we would tell you
they were solid?
Weddings and dear knows
what brought lot Of people
to see us last week for table
ware in silver line-it seemed
to be epidemic and the last
purchaser found as many strik-
ingly beautiful designs in
Spoons, Forks and Knives as
if we hadn't sold a single doz-
en-. 1t pays to have full lines

it does to have your money in

It is interesting to see Hawaiian
counsel engaged in discussing such
abstruse doctrines az the Rule in
Shelley's Case, the possibility of
creating Contingent Remainders,
and the existence Of the Statute Of
Uses.
The results which the Court VIII
reach will be awaited with keen in
terest by those who know the signi-
ficance of the issues involved.

constitutional exercise by the Courts
of the Legislative function.
But the point of divergence is
whether or not common law is the
foundation of our law wherever it is
not controlled by opposing statutes
or customs. 1t is the presumption
that common law exists TO that ex-
tent, unless repealed by statute, in
all the States of the American Union
which ever formed part of the British
Empire.
If the Court shall hold that such
is the presumption in this country
our law will be placed in a condition
of certainty which cannot exist IN
the absence of any legally establish
ed source of law.

THE RATIFICATION TONIC HIT.

The committee which have the man
agement of the ratification tonight are
greatly encouraged in their labors by the
prompt and spontaneous advices they
have received from the country. Nearly
all the country towns have notified the
committee that they will send in large
deputations to participate in the dem
onstration. The numerous Democratic
clubs in the city have made extensive
preparations to make fine showing in
the procession. The Chicago nomina-
tions are SO acceptable to the party that
there will be no hanging back or lack Of
enthusiasm anywhere. The ticket has
grown in favor every hour since it was
nominated. and not only the mass OF
the Democratic party, but large acces.
sions from the Republicans will join en-
Enthusiastically in doing honor to Cleve-
land and Stevenson.
At the pavilion there will be a grand
elimination of the outdoor demonstra-
tion, and a number of the best speak
ers in this section of the state have been
selected to address the vast audience
that will fill the immense building.
As the opening Democratic rally of
the campaign, its enthusiasm and spon-
taneity will give send-off to the cause
that will exercise a decidedly favorable
influence upon the ticket in this section
of the state.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-25

The editor of the Times is go favor
ably struck with the nomination of
Grover Cleveland that he will do all In
his power to elect him. He says:
The nomination of Harrison means q
sweeping victory fer Cleveland in South
ern California. The Democratic nomi-
nee is the most popular man in America
with the Republicans of Los Angeles
county, but his popularity is confined to
no particular section. 1t is general all
over the Pacific coast, and am of the
opinion that he will be elected. Though
an old-time Republican myself, shall
do all in my power to forward this end.
There is NO misunderstanding a fat
declaration like this. Colonel Otis is
disgusted with nomination made by
the federal "pap-suckers" against the
wishes of the great body of the Republi-
can party, and this feeling is particle
pated in by a very large section of his
fellow-partisans. There are enough dis
gruntled Republicans in this state, on
this account, to render certain that it's
electoral vote will 60 to Cleveland, il the
Democracy will put forth the vim and
energy Of strong and aggressive cam
paign. The detection from Harrison
among the business men of San Fran
cisco is very widespread, whilst Grover
seems to have struck all classes as q
most superb nomination.

AN AROUSED DEMOCRACY.

The work of the Chicago convention
has aroused the Democracy of the coun.
try to pitch OF enthusiasm that augurs
a sweeping victory at the polls next fall.
In this state the ''lion-hearted" were
never in better form to achieve pro-
nounced triumph. They are encouraged
not only by the unity of the party itself,
but by the manifest, widespread deiec-
tions in the ranks of the Republicans.
The American people admire manliness
and integrity, and Grover Cleveland has
given 30 conspicuous an example of
purity and characterization and states
manship-c capacity and patriotism -
that he exacts the respect and admira-
ton OF every man who believes in pub
lie virtue.
Those who count on the party fric-
tions in New York losing the state to
the Democracy will begin to change
their views when they find that for
every vote personal resentment may

possibly divert from Cleveland, two will
come to him IRON the ranks of the oppo-
sition. Whilst Harrison is admitted to
have given the people tolerably able
administration through the aid of James
G. Blaine, there are thousands Of Re-
publicans who cannot stomach the
methods he adopted in order to again
force himself on his party against its
will. Those methods have taken the
blush from the rose of his fair fame,
and shown that his ambition has caused
him to resort to the most Offensive tao
tics OF the ward politician in order to
retain power. When compared with
Cleveland, Harrison is dwarfed before
the towering standard Of disinterested
patriotism exhibited by his competitor.
Said he to friend, as he sent his great
tariff-reform message to congress at the
close of his presidential term, IT have
Just written message that will result
in my defeat at the next election (;
but l know that the principles
have laid down in it are right and
must prevail in the interest of the peo-
pie and the institutions of our country"
What contrast this affords by which
to judge the character of the two men
One was willing to drag his great Office
into the filthy pool of low-down politics
to secure his denomination ;-the other
rose to the height of inviting his certain
defeat by performing what he deemed q
great and patriotic duty.
