The marriage of young American
men TO half whites is becoming quite
frequent among respectable white
families in Hawaii. Ii is Of no use
for the foreign parents to turn the
cold shoulder. 0fLtimes the half
white girls are fully equal in intelli-
gence, taste and domestic virtues 10
those who marry them. There will
be more Of these marriages, aud the
mixed blood will improve With grow
ing prosperity and better education,
and as the primitive influences and
environments decrease with the lapse
Of generations. Indeed one way that
the Hawaiian population is now de-
creasing is not so much by the disap-
pearance as by the dilution or by
whitening Of the blood.-New York

The Country Home.

The ideal dwelling place is the
country home. The old race of south
ern people took pride in their we'll
cultivated farms and beautiful, hos
pitable homes. But not so to-day.
Would that we would try to cultivate
in the rising generation, no matter
how much education they have, a love
for farm life. We have too many
quack doctors, formal preachers and
petty lawyers. Too many poorly paid 4,
sickly clerks, teachers, telegraph OPP
orators and bookkeepers. The towns
and cities are crowded with bright,
well edrcated young men who are in
search of employment. There are a
dozen Of them for every place where
one is needed. They become dis
heartened after a time, and many Of
them go to destruction. Why don't
shey stay on the farm, il they have
left it, where there is honorable work
for every man who wants it?
Life to most OF US is a round of
mistakes, and this thing of focklng
to the cities is, in most cases, one Of
the big ones. 1t occurs to me that
the hard times may do much good in
this rs in other directions.
Men will leave the crowded marts
to buy or rent farms. Their families
will come to love the country and ma
ture. They win exercise their bodies
by performing useful labor. The
boys grow up to be healthy, honest
young men with correct ideas Of life,
and the girls will be as healthy and
happy and innocent as were the ideal
maidens Of long ago.-Exchange.

Hon. Wm. Z. Uilson at Beverly.

The barbecue and the presence OF Hon.
VIM. L. Wilson at Beverly, Randolph couu-
ty attracted fully FIVE thousand Democratic
voters on Thursday, the delegations coming
from half dozen counties, while excursion
trains were run from points as far distant as
Keyser and Grafton. A procession a mile
and half long escorted the speakers to the
fair grounds, where the barbecue took place.
The audience was the largest which has yet
greeted Mr. Wilson and the enthusiasm was
unbounded. The meeting was convened at
noon and listened to an address by ex-Gov.
Wilson. An adjournment of one hour was
taken while the roast oxen were discussed,
and then the speaking was resumed.
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson took the platform
for the main address of the day. During
his remarks voice interrupted him to ask
as to the truth of Republican report that
he had brought back with him British gold
to aid him in a free trade campaign To
this Mr. Wilson replied;
81 went to England not for gold, but for
something infinitely more valuable to me
than gold health-and | thank God |
brought it back with me, not English gold,
but restored health, enabling me to visit
the mountains and valleys of this beloved
second district and to meet my friends again
in the battle for the relief and prosperity of
the whole people. / thank God | never
needed gold to make a campaign in the
mountains of West Virginia. British gold,
indeed? If had wanted gold had no need
to 90 to England fori it; could have secur-
ed on this side of the water ten times the
gold could by any possibility have obtain
ed abroad if would have consented to even
the slightest betrayal of the great trust re-
posed in me-"
On the subject of his London dinner, Mr..
Wilson said the fact had been eagerly dis
seminated by the Republican press, but that
the press had ignored the fact that he had
dined three times in London with the Irish
leader in the House of Commons.
Mr.. Wilson was followed by ex-senator

In 1892, when Americans were engaged
at once with the Columbus quadro-centen-
NAL and 4 presidential election, it was as
serted that if Columbus were alive he would
be a Republican; and it was admitted on
the Democratic side that, as the grand old
party was about four hundred years behind
the times, the great discoverer might find
congenial surroundings there. However
that might be, it occurs to US that if Ana
Mas could return to earth he would find the
aforesaid party at least nineteen centuries
ahead of him in the art OF which in his day,
he was an acknowledged master. If any
body doubts the superior accomplishments
of our Republican friends in this line, we

Quay 10 Fight Wilson,

One of our Republican papers has made
the announcement says the Pittsburg Post,
that of such importance do the Republican
managers deem the election in the second
West Virginia district that they have sum-
moned Senator Quay from Florida to take
hand. The Democrats of the district are
thus forewarned OF the desperate outside
efforts to defeat the man who, by his ability,
courage and sincerity, has given the second
district worldwide reputation Acting
with Senator Quay will be "Steve" Elkins,
and with Elkins and Quay hitching teams
it is well known what sort of work is in
tended in the closing days of the canvas
We think this will be resented by the noun
tain Democracy as it should be. The Re-
publican papers are engaged in writing
down the Wilson meetings, but TO those who
know anything of the campaign in that
sparsely settled district the meetings are
| wonderful. The district comprises one
| fourth the area of the State of Pennsylvania
and is larger than some States of the Union.
In this great extent of country, largely
mountainous, there is population of about
$50, 900 polling some $4,000 votes. What
would be regarded as a small meeting in a
thickly populated district in the West Vir-
GINA mountains comes to be very large
one. The Democrats are we'll satisfied with
the canvass, and in a private letter to a
Pittsburg friend Mr. Wilson stated the pros
poets were most encouraging The united
forces of Quay and Elkins and the blood
money of the trusts, out for revenge, we
don't believe can endanger the election of
the champion of tariff reform.
