During the last campaign Delegate
John I. Caine of Utah went over into
Wyoming TO preach Democracy to the
people. TRre are a large number of
emigrants from Utah in the latter state,
and Mr.. Game thought it would be good
politics to talk to them. While thus cam
paigning he met Senator Warren. who
gently reproved him for trespassing.

laughingly.

always had the best of it"

The Devire NJ CIOskey election
contest has done two good things.
1t has shown that the Australian
ballot law, as ordained in Texas,
needs uch amendment aud
that. there is something radio lily
wrong in our elections" That is
what politician said at the cor.
ner and he added: "This is
shown by the fact that the pro-
vision of the law are so peculiar
that the judges of election cannot
or will not understand them; aud
again by the facts that illegal bal
lots have been admitted and that
e climate voting papers were
missing from the ball t boxes
when a recount was made. This
may have been accidental but it
is not fair, and above all il is sus.
picious. The State should lay
down definite laws for the con-
duet of elections and not leave it
to any corrupt or ignorant man to
make his own Interpretation Of
the law. To a free people a free
ballot and a fair count is an absO.

way that the will Ofthe people may

Washington and the Corner Stone,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Noticing in your paper Of last evening the
account Of a meeting held to discuss the COM
memoration Of the laying Of the corner stone
of the Capitol am reminded Of an incident
connected with that event, as related to me by
an eyewitness, which may be of interest.
On coming to reside in this city, about forty
years ago, was much in the company Of an
elderly gentleman. who, being a native Of the
region surrounding Mount Vernon, had fire.
quent opportunities as a boy Of seeing George
Washington on his passages between his home
and Alexandria. On the occasion referred to
he, with other boys, was playing by the side of
the road when Washington came along and
stopped his horse to exchange few affable
words. he sometimes did, with these his
youthful neighbors. One of the boys called
out General, we saw you set that stone up
there the other day." "Aye, boys, and
lifting his finger and shaking it impressively-
never let you, or any man, allow that stone to
be moved away" were the words Of the grand
old man as he resumed his course, bordering,
perhaps, upon the future destinies Of the ma
ton, tho city and the Capitol he was instru-
mental in founding. WALTER L. NICHOLSON.

The New Minister From Hawaii Makes
and Hears . Speech.
Mr.. Thurston, the new minister from Hawaii,
was presented to the President yesterday after
noon. In his address he said:
although there has recently been . change
in the form Of the government Of Hawaii, / beg
to assure you that the only change in the warm
feeling Of friendship heretofore entertained by
the government and people Of Hawaii for the
government and people Of the United States il
that such feeling has widened and deepened and
strengthened into q strong desire that the
cordial and intimate relations heretofore exist
ing between the two countries may become yet
closer and more intimate, in the firm belief that
such closer intimacy will inure to the political
financial and social welfare Of both countries
and to the general advancement Of enlightened
civilization and civil liberty, Of which the
United States both by precept and example has
for SO many years been the chief exponent and
the guiding star Of 90 many lesser governments
and people"
The President replied az follows:
The qualification which grows out Of your
assurance that the kindly sentiments enter
tanned by the government and people Of Hawaii
for the people and government of the United
States are not only unimpaired, but have deep
ened into desire for still closer relations, is
enhanced by the remembrance Of the intimate
and friendly feeling which has 80 long existed
between the people of the two countries
81 beg to assure You that our people and
government are at all times willing and
anxious to strengthen and multiply the ties
Of friendship and amity which bind as to the
people Of Hawaii To this end no effort on our
part shall be neglected which Ia consistent with
our traditional national policy and which is not
violstive Of that devotion to popular right
which underlies every American conception of
q free government"
