THE pEOPLe's PARTY.

The platform Of the Peoples party,
adopted by the great convention held at
Omaha July 4, is In substance as follows;
It demands q national currency, safe,
sound and flexible, issued by the general
government, full legal tender for all
debts. public and private, and that with
out the use Of banking corporations, an
equitable distribution to the people at

atsd income tax; believes the money OF
the country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands Of the people, and
hence demands that all State and Ma.
tional revenues shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government;
demands that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the
safe deposit of the earnings Of the people
and to facilitate exchange; transporta'
ton being q means Of exchange and 0
public necessity, the government should
own and operate railroads in the interest
Of the people; the telegraph, like thu
postoffice system, should be owned ant
operated by the government; the publi
land should not be monopolized for spec
ulstive purposes. and alien ownership
Of land should be prohibited.

On THE last page will be found
the portraits of the Democratic
candidates for Speaker of the Ma
tional House of Representatives.
The contest which developed in
the caucus was the most extraor-
binary in the history of Congress.
The rivalry for supremacy brought
out six candidates for Speaker,
and it was only on the thirtieth
ballot, and after several days, that
Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, was
elected and the House organized.
It is said that Tammany influence
in New York elected him. The
New York Herald, in announcing
the result, says: "Mills has been
beaten. The hobby horses and
their riders have been cast into the
sea Mr.. Crisp secures the gavel
by a 119 to 100. Thus did free
trade go down and free silver up |! u
It is difficult to say just what the
election of Crisp means, but it is
possible that the views of Mills or
the tariff, as shown in former ses
sions, are not acceptable to the
party, and a more moderate plar
will be followed. The statement il
made, however, in other papers
and indeed by Judge Crisp himself
that his election means no change
in the attitude of the party on thu
tariff, and that the new Speaker il
as sound on the tariff as Mills him
self.

1T IS pleasant to be able to re-
cord such festive gatherings as that
chronicIed by the Alameda En-
cinaI, and reprinted on our first
page, as they show the interest
taken in Hawaiians by visitors and
their friends. The names of some
of the guests given in the article
will be recognized as recent visitors
here, and doubtless others in the
list given will sooner or later have
an opportunity to say that they
have been to all the places of inter-
est from the "barking sands" of
Kauai to the gorgeous lava scenes
of Kilauea, and gathered souvenirs
of some of the most charming trop-
zeal scenes ON this earth.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

The California Traffic Associa-
ton of San Francisco is taking
much interest in the Nicaragua
Canal and has adopted petition
to Congress which is being freely
signed. This petition read as fol-
lows: "Traffic Association of Cali
fornia, Nicaragua Canal Committee,
petition to the Honorable United
States Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives in Congress Assembled
The undersigned citizens of the
United States of America, residing
on the Pacific Coast, respectfully
and urgently petition Congress to
provide or guarantee such neces-
sary means as will assist, protect
and hasten the completion and
secure the national control of the
Nicaragua Maritime Canal, as re-
commended to Congress by the
President of the United States in
his recent message"
The Canal Committee has made
a report to the association IN the
shape of an address, which declares
that "the prosperity of our people
depends upon cheap water COM
munication with the nations bor-
derring on the Atlantic ocean, who
consume most of our surplus pro-
ducts" 1t is further declared that
the Nicaragua canal project offers
the only practical solution of this
problem and that our welfare de-
ponds largely on its construction.
The report says that the Mica
ragua Canal Construction Com
pany, an American organization,
has begun work on the canal and
has spent over 100000 with ex-
cellent results. Thus far the funds
have been collected by private
subscription, but as there is no
more money readily available here
and the company will go to Europe
to get it unless Congress comes to
its aid, it is urged that the people
of the coast, in their commercial
and industrial organizations, as
we'll as by special public meetings
and private petitions, should urge
upon their Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress the speedy
construction of the canal, under
the control of the United States
Government.
The report was adopted, and the
work thus far done on the cana
was approved.

A KAMAAINA INDICATED.

The San Francisco Examiner
lately published an article contain
ing injurious statements with re-
gard to the widow of the late Geo.
G. Williams, a lady who was born
in this country and who has always
been deservedly esteemed. Mrs.
Williams has lately married DR..
Fl. w. Abbott. The Examiner in
formant, among other things, is
represented as saying: "The only
proof we have that Mrs. Williams
has married the doctor is the fact
that she showed her married sister
in Petaluma paper purporting to
be marriage contract between
herself and the DOCTOR" AND again:
when the report spread that they
had been married at Pacific Grove,
in Monterey county, last Septem-
Der, letters of inquiry were sent to
the recorders of Monterey and
Santa Clara counties, to which they
replied that they could not find any
record Of the marriage of the par
ties"
We are credibly informed that
Mrs. Geo. G. Williams was regular
" married to DR.. Abbott on the
18th of July last, in the First Bap-
fist Church of Santa Cruz, by the
Rev. F. S. Lawrence, the marriage
being duly witnessed by the pastor
and his wife and Miss Aida Pix
ley. This completely disposes of
the malicious allegations referred
to, and if the rest of the article has
as little foundation the friends of
Mrs. Abbott can afford to treat it
with silent contempt.

constituency to choose against their |
will some other person whom they |
have reason to regard as less able
or less trustworthy than he by
whom they wish to be represented.
To "keep out of politics" is a
very natural aspiration for some
natures, and line of conduct most
devoutly to be wished for in the
case of some others, while as re-
CARDS many most capable men it is
at least selfish and may be worse.
In large countries where the
voting population is counted by
millions and each constituency by
its thousands, it matters compare
lively little whether one or two
popular favorites decline the honor
rendered to them, for the proba-
bility is that there are one or two
others who are just as well fitted
for legislature as they, but in so
small community as is this king
dom, where there is little choice,
we must have the best men and if
they refuse their services We are
very likely to have to put up with
the worst.
1t does not require any very
heightened retrospect to illustrate
the evils which may be accom-
plished by Legislature containing
a number of members more bent
upon gratifying personal preju-
dices, than on promoting sound,
wholesome, economical measures.
The public funds are wasted in
paying claims that were never
righteously due. "Fads" are for
warded, committees committed be-
forehand to approve or condemn,
not so much in accordance with
the real result of Investigations, as
in accordance with the likes and
dislikes, personal or political, held
by the members towards Ministers
or other officials. When clique OF
such members acts together with
tolerable unanimity they frequent
Iy can by throwing their weight on
this side or Oh that, affect the legis-
lation of a session in a degree
wholly disproportionate to their
numbers or to the real value Of
their opinions.
Some of the work of the last
session will have to be undone OF
recast as being of questionable con
stitutionality or of a retroactive
tendency, being in fact what ii
called "slovenly" legislation, suct
as is pretty sure to be enacted by
men incompetent to form serious
opinions on serious questions o.
more DESTROYS of forwarding thei
own interests or whims than tn,

that our candidates be CAREFUL,

HILLHSM REBUKED.

There was big storm in New
York last week that almost put
out the light of the Hill sun.
In the elections the democrats
in many of the counties met a
perfect Waterloo, their greatest
losses occurring in the counties
where the will of the people has
been most outrageously overrid-
den. In Onondaga county 15re-
publican supervisors were elected
out of a total of 10, where last
year the democrats controlled
the board and shamelessly obeyed
the behests of Gov Hill. In Steu-
ben county a democratic major
ity OF two in last years board
has been changed to a republican
majority of 16. In almost every
county in the state republican
gains have been made, and a
singing rebuke thus given to the
methods that strike at the very
foundation of our political insti,
tutions.
In speaking ofthe situation the
Philadelphia Times says:

YERMONT'S MILITARY POST

The outlook is very favorable
that Vermont will soon have a
military post according to the
Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican. He
says that Gen. Grout is very
hopeful of getting through both
houses of Congress the bill to es-
tablish a military post on the
line of railway between Burling-
ton and Highgate. This bill
is already on the calendar OF the
Senate with a favorable report,
and assurance offavorable action
have been given by the committee
on military affairs in the House.
The bill involves no immediate
appropriation, so that Gen. Grout
does not anticipate any serious
opposition when he calls 1t up.
He will endeavor to huve the
