dividing line running from the foot
of Nuuanu Avenue, out the Pail
road to Mokapu Point. The island
comprises two representative dis
tricts. East of Nuuanu is the
Fourth on the Eva side is the
Fifth.
In town there are six precincts
on the east and four on the west.
The voting places have been ex-
tensively advertised. Runners will
show them to electors today if there
be any uninformed. The accom-
panying map will make matters
plain. These are the places indi-

9. Kauluwela School, School street.
10. Chinese Engine-house.
The registration for this island is
1916. Of these but 656 vote for
representatives only; all the rest
have the income qualification. The
heaviest registration is for the
Fourth precinct of the fourth dis
trict-296. The lightest registra-
tion is for the Seventh precinct of
the fourth district.
Waimanalo School house is the
polling place for the seventh of the

Inferfered With the Mails.

A feature of the Chinese. j japanese
war which may cause the United
States government to arise in its
place and make few remarks is that
which affects the security of the
mails. Dispatches published quote
an agent of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company as saying that letters
sent by officers of the United States
cruiser Baltimore to their families
while the vessel was at Chemulpo
were inspected by the Japanese.
1.-The letters" said Mr.. Van Buren,
(the agent in question:, necessarily
had to go by way of Yokohama and
the Japanese took on themselves the
privilege of opening the letters for
fear they might contain information
of nature which might be detri-
mental to Japanese interests" Such
charge as that will surely be in

for pledged members of the party
to cast one vote each for Chas. l..
Carter, d. L. Naone and z. c..
Winston. This statement is made
after careful analysis of the reg
istration.
Voters for Senators will receive
two ballots. In marking for Sena-
tors an X must be used. Prefer
ence for House members must be
indicated by figures. Voters can
cumulate on Representative candi-
dates only. Fractions must not be
smaller than ] and three votes only
can be pumped. The A. U. P.
party management will try to get
out full vote, especially in the
Fourth. A good showing all around
is desired for the reason that voting
population is usually based on cleo
ton returns rather than registra-
tion returns. The polls will open
at s this morning and close at 5.
Inspectors this year get but $40 for
their services, "for the job," and
are not allowed lunch expenses.
Ali the returns obtainable will
be given in this paper in the morn
ing. Arrangements have been
made for the quickest advices from
other islands.

Everyone will know just how he
makes his ballot. Polls may be
closed when all registered persons
have voted. Adams, the school
teacher at Kaneohe, is chairman
of the board in this one-man pre-
cinct. He has been for three weeks
trying to arrange that the lone
voter shall attend to the business
of the day early in the morning.
The man has probably been pro-
perly canvassed by the Central
Committee of the A. U. P. and by
the Opposition.
There is very little opposition in
any district to the candidates of
the A. U. P. or annexation party.
On this island all the convention
nominees for the senate, and three
of those for the house have a walk
over. This is fine compliment to
the party leaders.
In the Fourth District of Oahu,
on the Waikiki side of the avenue,
there is an irregular candidate who
calls himself an independent. He
has been conducting a terrific cam
paign. The outcome of his efforts
will be known this evening. Mr..
Jas. A. Kennedy, chairman of the
A. U. P. executive committee, is
confident the straight ticket will

Our National Election Laws.

The repeal of the United States Stat
utes on this subject by the Democratic
majority in Congress, although it has
excited but little attention, is the most
important piece of legislation for which
the DEMOCRATS are to be held RESPONSE
BILE. Hawaiian diplomacy in hauling
down the American flag ovei the Sand
wich islands is small affair in com
parison with it: un-American as that
was in its duplicity, party spite and
want of broad nationality. Even the
Wilson Bill is of less moment, Juggling
as it does with the Protective Policy
upon which the bread ard meat of so
many millions of our people hang.
There is no overestimating the necess-
ity for purity in our elections which
create the rulers and the policy of this
great country. The effect of the re
peal of these laws is to make the vote
of every honest man less influential.
The whole thing is intended to weaken
the general Government in its grasp
of national affairs. The spirit of this
attack upon the national authority was
conspicuously shown by the yell"
sent up in the House of Representatives
when the announcement was made of
the passage of the bill in the Senate.
The whole thing is a Democratic,
state rights affair. Such bill may be
passed, but in the end it will come
back to plague the repealers. The
clear and paramount authority of the
United States to manage the election
of her own Representatives is not only
written in the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States, SO clear that anybody can
read it, but it lies in the unwritten law
that exists in every pulse beat of the
American heart.

their future when they themselves shall
no longer be on earth. To this end they
painfully spare and save and plot and
plan to secure for their offspring all the
advantages that may give them better
chance than other mems children in
the struggle for existence.
They do this, knowing sadly well the
while, from observation and experience,
how vain all such safeguards may
prove, how impossible it is for even the
wisest and wealthiest of fathers to make
sure tn { the cherished child he leaves
behind may not be glad to earn his bread
as servant to the children of his fathers
servants. Still the parent tolls and
saves, feeling that this is the best and
all ne can do for his offspring, little
though it be. But is it? Surely mo
ment's thought will show that this is a
wholly unsclentitic way of going about
the work of providing for the future of
ones children.
This is the problem of all problems
to which the individualistic method is
most inapplicable, the problems before
all others of which the only adequate
solution must necessarily be "a social
solution.

The Right Use of the Tongue.

Make right and holy use of the tongue
writes the Rev. 7. De Witt Talmage
under Enemies Of Our Happiness in
the April Ladies' Home Journal. 1t is
lCose at one end and can swing either
way, but it is fastened at the other end
to the floor of your mouth, and that
makes you responsible for the way it
wags. Xanthus, the philosopher, told
his servant that on the morrow he was
going to have some friends to dine, and
told him to get the best thing he could
find in the market. The philosopher
and his guests sat down the next day
at the table. They had nothing but
tongue-four or five courses of tongue;
tongue cooked in this way and tongue
cooked in that way, and the philoso-
pher lost his patience and said to the
servant: Didn't tell you to get the
best thing in the market?" He said:
II did get the best thing in the market.
Ism tne tongue the organ of sociality,
the organ of eloquence, the organ of
kindness, the organ of worship?n Then
Xanthus said: Tomorrow Iwant you
to get the worst thing in the market. :"
And on the morrow the philosopher sat
at the table, and there was nothing
there but tongue-four or five courses
of tongue-tongue in this shape and
tongue in that shape, and the philos-
opher again lost his patience and said:
Didn't l tell YOU to get the worst thing
in the market?" The servant replied:
u did, for ism t the tongue the organ
of blasphemy, the organ of defamation
the organ of lying?' Employ the
tongue which God SO wonderfully ere
ated as the organ of taste, the organ of
articulation, to make others happy,
and in the service of God!

LETTER FROM HON. A. A. TAYLOR,
Read to the MOrristOwn Convention,
March s, 1894.

CHUcKY VALLEY, Tenn, March I, '94.
To the Chairman of the Republican
Congressional Convention, Morris.
town, Tenn.
Dear Sir:-Not being able to be pres
ent in person, on account of sickness
in my family, desire through you to
address a word to the representatives
of the Republican party of the First
! Congressional District in convention
assembled to nominate my successor. I
have been chosen three times as the
representative of the district in Con
gress and one year hence l shall retire
from the public service. Both before
and subsequent to my last election,
announced this intention to my friends
throughout the district-deeming six
years long enough for any man to serve
consecntively, in any one capacity, and
desiring to stand out of the way of the
just recognition, by the party, of other
gentlemen, worthy of favor, seeking
Congressional honors. Either one of
the six candidates before you would
make good representative and either
one OF them you may name as the can
didat will be elected. Permit me to
congratulate you upon the encourag-
ing prospects of the general success
and speedy restoration of the Republi-
can party to power. The rapid paraly-
Sis OF all business as result of the ac-
cession of the Democratic party to
power-the want of confidence among
the people growing out of the uncer
tainty of what is to happed-the appaI.
ling condition of American labor-the
languishiug condition of commerce
and trade-the deplorable condition of
the country generally-the uneasy state
OF the federal treasury-the puny at
tempt OF the administration to effect
the restoration. of a defunct monarchy
in foreign land and re,seat on an
abandoned throne a barbarous and
vulgar queen en-demonstrate the utter
incompetency of the Democratic party
to conduct the affairs of this Nation
either foreign or local. The result of
every election held since the inaupura-
ton of Cleveland, beginning with Iowa
and New York and ending with Penn.
sylvania, shows that the people have
become rroused to lively appreciation
of this lamentable fact, and are pro-
ceeding with astounding unanimity to
undo that which was done in 92-as
fast as it can be undone under the
forms of law. BY the time 1896 is
reached, there will not be enough left
of Democracy to make it interesting
for Major Mckinley. Trusting that
your proceedings will be charterized
by the utmost harmony and good feel
ing, and rendering to the Republicans
OF this district my most grateful ac-
knowledgements for the unmerited
honors they have so often conferred
upon me. have the honor to remain,
Your most obedient servant,
A. A. TAYLOR.

School Lessons at Home.

1t is overtaxing parents and friends
to ask that they shall supervise work
which properly belongs to the duly
qualified instructor, writes Elisabeth
Robinson Scovil in an earnest protest
against this growing evil in the April
Ladies Home Journal.
Text books and methods change SO
rapidly that we who finished our school
days a score of years ago feel that our
powers are altogether inadequate to
the demands upon them when we are
confronted with some knotty point in
grammar or more serious difficulty in
mathematics. We can only sigh help
lessly over our inability to throw any
light on the subject, and feel strongly
that it was the duty of the teacher to
have explained the problem so as to
make it clear to the Juvenile under
standing.

Bellamy on Our Future.

l confess l can not understand the
mental operations of good men or wo-
men who from the moment they are
parents do not become intensely inter
ested in the social question, writes Ed
ward Bellamy in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. That an unmarried
man or even childless though marfi-
ed should concern himself little about
the future of a race in which he may
argue that he will have no personal
stake, is conceivable, though sucn in
difference is not morally edifying.
From the time their children are born
il becomes the great problem with par
ents how to provide for and safeguard
