"A BoMnsHELL IN THEIR CAMP.

The Times Story OF Saturdays Meeting
Had Its Effect Upon the Populists.
The Central Peoples Party Club held
meeting last night pursuant to ad-
journment in the room over the Singer
Sewing Machine office, with Chairman
w. A. Thomas presiding. The attend
ance was not large and but little bust
ness was accomplished. Secretary
Camper read the minutes of last meet
ing, and as usual sentinels we're placed
on tho outside to watch for newspaper
reporters.
The full account of their secret pro
ceedings last Saturday night, as was
published in The TIMES Sunday, had the
effect Of bonn bshell thrown in the Pop.
ulist camp, and caused great confusion
among the faithful, who are consider
ably disgruntled over the fact that their
methods OF frying out grease" has been
made public
The question OF raising more funds
for the use of Deacon Hannabus and the
twelve disciples who are to lead the
colored forces into the Populist Canaan
was discussed at length. Owing to the
scarcity OF money the subscriptions do
not pour in worry fast and it is not likely
that the machinery will be. extrava
gantly creased.

FIRES of incendiary origin are becom
ing too frequent and should call for some
rigid investigation upon the part of the
authorities to prevent their recur-
renee. Happening, as did the fire last
night, across the street from the place
where the negro Smith was hung, 1t may
be pertinet to state through THE TIMES,
to prevent the repetition of silly, hal
lucinary stories, that the ghost of the
departed black man had nothing to do
with the origin of the fire.

REPEAL AT LAST.

The repeal bill has passed. AS
Stewart remarked. "the die is cast" A
shout OF joy goes up throughout the
land over the announcement. Its full
effect upon the financial affairs of
the nation will be hard to realize, so
widespread will be It's result in the re-
vival Of trade snd the resumption OF all
business enterprises, which for the past
few months have been lying so dormant.
Millions, 1t may be said, irrespective
Of party, will feel like thanking Presi-
dent Cleveland and the able representa-
tive Of his views in the Senate, Mr..
Voorhees,, for the sturdy persistency
which they have shown in their efforts
to secure the passage OF the bill which
does away with the obnoxious Sherman
act OF 1890. It only remains now for
it's passage in the House. which is
taken for granted, and with the Presi-
dents signature it is done.
Whatever future financial legislation
may be undertaken by Congress in this
extraordinary session, if any is taken at
all, it's effect will not be SO widespread
as is the effect of this repeal bill. 1t
was the one thing necessary, and the
only one, to restore the confidence of the
people. That there is plenty of money
in the country is shown by the daily re-
ports from the leading financial centers,
amounts in excoss OF the requirements
by law. That money in large
quantities will be sent here by
foreign nations is assured by the
opinion of Henry Clews, the prom
1nent New York banker, and whose view
is Endorsed by Senator Voorhees, himself,
as stated in The TIMES Sunday morn.

and is to the effect that practically one
billion of dollars are now in the great
national banks of Europe and other
counties absolutely lying idle. when
our money is put in solid shape" he
says, las it will be by the repeal of the
silver clause of the Sherman bill, this
country will act as powerful magnet
to draw an important part OF thai hoard
of metal to this country, as this country
ia really the only place that holds out
the promise to make good and profitable
investments"
in this mornings telegraph columns
will be found statement which goes
far as a starter in bearing out Mr..
Clew's statement. e2OO,0 900, or nearly
100000, will be shipped this morning
from Southampton, England, for this
country. Osher shipments are likely to
follow at once.
Money was easier in New York on
Saturday than IL has been for Fl We years,
made SO by the bright promise from
Washington on that day OF the prox-
unity OF vote upon the repeal bill.
This effect will most surely be felt all
over the country and in this section,
where little capital only is needed to
start up the wheels OF industry at their
accustomed speed.
Not that any boom in this town is to
be expected, but that the enterprises
which have Jagged will be made to
assume their usual activ ity is I'm

ROANOKE sYMPATHIZEs WITH CHI
CAGO.


AS the Chicago Inter-Ocean we'll says:
The murder of Mayor Carter Harrison
is q shocking announcement to go
before the world in these closing days
of the Columbian Exposition. Just
when the name of the city IL upon the
tongues Of all men in all chimes, when
every mention of Chicago brings pleasant
memories to millions Of people, it is
cruel fate that associates the name OF
the city with the crime of assassina-
ton"
Yes. cruel that the stain should fall
upon the young city which has lived
down a career more or less bloody from
the start, and rendered more startling
perhaps by the eagerness of its Eastern
rivals to cast q blur over its prospects,
and unfortunate that man so popular,
If not beloved, should become the target
of an assassin's deadly aim. The whole
circumstances in the case are deplorable
in the extreme, and the sympathy and
words Of coincidence will 60 out for the
beautiful city on Lake Michigan, which
had done so much for the enjoyment of
the people of the nation this past sea-
son. So many have accepted of its hos
FATALITIES that a loss to Chicago means,
we might say, a national loss.
Roanoke can in particular sympathize
with Chicago in the blot upon it's name.
But as'THE TINES has heretofore re-
marked such occurrences as have trans
pired at both places will occur in any
locality. They must be attributed to
some insane passion which cannot be
kept down, but which will in spite Of
surroundings, assert itself and appear
most horrible when it does come forth.

Were your eyes ever shocked

ROANOKE citizens generally will
favor and doubtlessly lend their aid in
SO far as they are able to the plan out
lined by the pastors aud others in con-
ference yesterday to take some measure
for the relief of the poor of our city.
The restitution which is around US and
daily manifested upon our streets can
not be overlooked and passed by with
the idea that in the revival of bust
ness in short time everything will
be all right. Prosperity will be the
last to strike the unfortunates who are
now in want and "the poor we have
with us always" will hold true whatever
are our circumstances or how soon
brighter times may be upon US. 1t is 70
be hoped that the citizens will contrib
ute as literally as their purses will
allow to help in the work of alternating
the distress in the city.

show aliunde that he had the requis-
lite authority. If, on the other hand,
the warrant purported to have been
issued by the direct order of the coun-
ellis, it would be competent to show
that such was not the case in fact. See
In re Rhodus, 6 Haw,, 34S.
Does the warrant sufficiently specify
the grounds OF arrest? 1t commands
the Marshal to arrest ]. G. NJ. Sheldon
and have him before the Executive
and Advisory Councils, 'tto show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt of the said councils" A
statement of the offense in general
terms is sufficient. This is sufficient
to show that the warrant was issued
in a matter of which the councils had
jurisdiction, and is sufficient for the
purpose of holding the party until
more specific charges can be pre-
ferred against him. A warrant of
commitment SHOULD only state
the fact of the offense in general
terms in order to show that
the assembly has jurisdiction of it

THE BISHOP ON MAUI
Honors Paid Him BY Members
of the Catholic Church.

His Lordship the Rt. Rev. Bishop
of Panopolis arrived at Lahaina per
steamer Kinau on February 10, at 2
Am. He came from Waikiki and was
accompanied by Father James. In
spite of the early hour at which they
arrived grand reception awaited
them. A six-oared barge, rowed by
lusty crew and brightly illuminated
with torches, was sent out to bring
the guests ashore. On the wharf
deputation Of prominent church mem
bers met them and escorted them to
carriage in waiting. They then
proceeded to the church, the brill
antly lighted streets being thronged
with people. A pleasant feature of
the reception was met with here.
From the gateway to the church por-
tails, drawn up on either side of the
path, stood the school children of the
Lahaina Catholic School. Up the
pathway between these pretty rows
the Bishop passed on foot to the
church entrance, there to receive a
graceful welcome from Father An
drew, resident priest of the parish.
Afterwards song of welcome was
sung, and after short address by
the Bishop the people dispersed to
their homes.
On Sunday high mass was held by
the Bishop, assisted by Father James
and Father Andrew. The church
was crowded with people, including
all the elite of Lahaina's society A
large number were not members of
of the church, but came at special in
vitation to meet the Bishop and wit
ness the imposing ceremony. The
music was excellently rendered ON
this occasion by the regular choir,
under the efficient direction of Mrs.
Geo. II. Dunn. After the regular
ceremonies were completed, sixteen
children were baptised and one hun
bred and thirty-six of various ages
confirmed.
In honor of the occasion grand
luau was held in the afternoon on the
church grounds. The long tables,
spread with all the good things ina
ginable, were placed in the school
house and beneath specially con
structed lanai in the garden. Many
received introductions to His Lord
ship, who, in spite of his high office,
proved himself a social and pleasant
gentleman.
The Bishop left Lahaina on the
following Tuesday evening for Mas-
laea bay; from there to Wailuku to
take the steamer next day for Homo
lulu. The days preceding his depart
ure were busy ones. He both received
and made calls, and responded to
several invitations to dine. On the
morning before he left, the school
children gave an exhibition, and the
excellent training they evinced, re
bounds greatly to the credit of their
teacher, Miss Maggie Doherty.
In conclusion, it is but just to say
that the success of the reception was
largely due to Father Andrew, who
spared neither time or expense, and
to the untiring efforts of Mr.. Joaquin |
Fabian, of Lahaina.

the old historic ground and battle
fields of the rebellion. There one
can see Pittsburg, Harper's Ferry,
Maryland Heights, the Shenandoah
Valley, the Allegheny Mountains
and their grand scenery. Besides
this, there are beautiful cities, towns
and villages and innumersble points
of interest all the way and last, but
not least, see Chicago, the queen city
of America.
This Columbian Exposition will
undoubtedly be the grandest thing
of ancient or modern times nothing
has ever approached it IN the slight
est degree. So colossal, so stipend
GUS an enterprise has never been
undertaken, and it may well be re
garded as the wonder of the nine
teenth century.
Now who shall describe the num-
berless attractions of this marvellous
exhibition or estimate its value to
the whole human race. l cannot
but this l can say, that to see the
Worlds Fair buildings alone is
worth the trouble and expense.
What then can be said of their con-
tents Where can be seen the best
and choicest of everything that this
world can produce and what is
more, see many of the curiosities
made before ones very eyes. What
sight for those hungering for
knowledge is tere; what school
food for thought may be gath
cred at this banquet of the gods.
Here one can see the finest handi-
work of America, England, France,
Germany, Spain, Holland, Austria,
Italy, China, Japan and the Indias.
What is more, there will be repre-
sentatives of all nations dressed in
their national costumes and living in
their true native manner. 1t will be
the whole world collected in minia-
ture, but it will represent all the
learning and creative talent, all the
invention, skill, ingenuity, as well
as all the beauty, elegance and gran
deur of the world. Such a galaxy
of wonderful sights was never before
prepared by man, and may never be
seen again; and 1 consider the mortal
blessed and favored beyond all the
favorites of kings or fortune who
shall see this marvellous sight of
sights. g. o.

Molokai, Feb. Is, 1898.
The Great Columbian EXPOSE
ton.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of
February 7th I noticed an article en-
titled "The Fair and the Death
Rate" which gives dark picture for
those who are thinking of going to
the Chicago Exposition. Now, as I
consider this picture more fancied
than real, I feel constrained to say
few words on the subject.
For the sake of argument, it might
be granted that for sick person, so
long a trip might be attended with
some danger; but to a person who is
only physically weak or slightly I'M
we'll, this journey in nine cases out
of ten, would be the making of him.
The trouble here is, too many people
grub along in the pursuit of wealth,
until they become bankrupt in health;
then when too late, they go off some
where to die. What most people
want is a change, rest from the
troubles, trials and responsibilities
of life, perfect relaxation from the
cares which plunge too many into
their graves. Therefore, let all those
that can afford it take this trip
abroad. 1t will repay them thous-
and-fold, and give them theme for
thought that will last till their dying
day.
In iSan Francisco they will
find a new world open to
their benighted gaze. There
too they will find all the progress
that has been made in art, science,
and about everything else. The city
is picture of progress; at night it
is literally flooded with light, its
main thoroughfares are one blaze of
dazzling brightness and filled with
concourse of handsome and we'll
dressed people. If one cares not for
city life, he can in twenty-four hours
reach Southern California, and bask
awhile in the smile of Pomona amidst
flowers, orchard, vineyards and the
unapproachable luxurisnce of this
semi-tropical region. If going East
via the Central Pacific and the Rio
Grande, what delightful scenery will
meet his view; all the beauties
of the Sierra Mountains and
the grandeur of the Rockies.

passes, lakes and snow capped noun
tains of Colorado, and pass through

Encouraging Letter From an
o. s. S. Company Agent.

Mr.. H. B. Rice, who is the agent
for the Oceanic S. S. Company at
Los Angeles, Gala, has forwarded
a list of over lis names of people
to the Bureau of Information who
are contemplating visit here very
shortly, some having arrived by the
Australia.
These people have been induced
to visit this country on account of
personal interviews and informa-
ton furnished by Mr.. Rice. In a
letter he says;
Instead of hindering the interest
in the islands, as was at first feared,
/ find that there is far more interest
now than before the Revolution
/ have been very busy these two last
weeks answering letters and personal
questions about our trips. As you
may see from the list of names here
in sent you, the number is quite con-
siderable. I will say further that
several whom l had already booked
have held back their reservations
from fear of trouble. The number
who have been moved by q spirit Of
adventure, however, has outnum-
bered them, and we continue to have
fair list. In case of annexation, or
of a proper protectorate, 1 am sure
the business of my Office will con-
tinue to increase. A day or two now
will tell pretty conclusively what the
action of our Government will be.
/ need not say that the great mass Of
Americans are enthusiastically in
sympathy with the attitude of the
" Provisional Government" This
morning l have had application from
a party of five, now at the Hotel Re-
dondo, for information about a trip
to Hawaii / shall at once run down
and interview them.

1t will be remembered that not
long since fine specimen of cane
was exhibited from Eva Plantation.
The plantation is grinding now,
and the cane is having chance to
show itself. From a field of 1874
acres 1929 tons have been taken,
which makes an average of 8.07
tons per acre. Query-Has any
field of this size ever produced as
much sugar before in this country?

A Complaint From MoIokai.

Mr. EDITOR: l ask for a little space
in your valuable paper for a few re-
marks on the officers of Molokai.
They are all natives.
Were they natives who were honest
in the discharge of their duties, We
would be glad to see them kept in by
the Provisional Government. But
men, who, as the Judge and Deputy
Sheriff were last July or August,
mixed up in disgraceful affair at
the Leper Settlement, which was
spoken of at considerable length in
the native papers, and was the same
racket that is said to have been the
chief cause of the removal of the last
Superintendent. 1t is impossible for
a white man to get justice before the
present judge, and he will surely get
left, never mind how good his case, if
his opponent be native, and appeal
ing to Maui is expensive work for
poor people, besides the trouble of
getting to Maui to attend court.
Our Deputy Sheriff is not fit for
the position; he is blind to anything
going on, and DRINKS; liquor sellers
and law-breakers have soft snap if
they are natives or Cinnamon who
have little money.
Liquor is sold under the caves, as
it were, of the Court house at Pukoo,
and it seems to those of us not in the
ring as though the paternal hand of
the never watchful police must pro
tect them, instead of giving them
their deserts. We hope to have
change for the better soon.
