The average man knows
nothing about fitting up stores
until he gets half through
the work; the thing looks
easy enough when the de-
signs are carefully drawn on
paper and everything appears
to fit to a nicely. But when
the men get at it and have
open instructions to make an
excellent job they are work
ing by the day., it is differ
Ient and every moment
counts.
We had expected to show
you on the 18th the grandest
array of goods for the home
that you ever saw, but there
was the elevator to place and
| the solid oak counters to
polish and Offices to get into
shape. To do it all and have
it done with the same care
and attention to detail by
the 18th was out of the
question. The men have
worked harder than if they
had been doing it under con-
tract, but the job could not
be done.
Monday, the 18th, is now
set for the opening day. All
the cheap goods we have
written about will then be
ready for your inspection.
The crockery will be there in
a position that is bound to
catch your eye whether you
want to see it or not. Stoves
such as you never imagined
and at prices that will as
found you will have your
attention. AndSQ will every
thing else. Saucepans, for
instance; a small item with
us, but the one you pay
$I.75 for in other establish.
mentS, we sell you at $I.Io
and make a profit.
1t is the same with every
thing else as with saucepanS.
Remember, Monday, the.
18th, is the day the store will
be open. You have an in
VitatiOn to call.

THE fact that the varied program
OF Saturday evening drew larger
audience than any other has thus
far been offered in the Y. NJ. @. a.
course is not without it's signifi-
canoe. Let the lectures be ever so
timely, let the lecturers be the best
that can be produced, let the COM
munity be ever so intellectual,
there comes a time when the peo-
pie long for entertainment pure
and simple, something in a lighter
vein. With the Opera House in
ruins, there are almost absolutely
no facilities for satisfying this de-
sire for occasional mental relaxa-
ton. People like to be amused as
well as instructed, and according
as they are amused the more readi-
ly they will accept instruction.
Of late we have had a surfeit
of a certain class of amusement
and the manner in which the pub
lie has patronized travelling trou-
badours shows only too clearly
that, after famine, people are ready
to accept anything in the way of
diversion. With a good opera
house, we would be assured of
higher class and more satisfactory
amusement, and even the lecturer
would not labor under such great
disadvantages. A large and COM
Portable audience-room counts
great deal. We trust local philan-
thropists may become impressed
with the fact, and, should they ask
for some slight assistance from the
Government in carrying out their
plans, that this assistance will be
forthcoming. It is unfortunate,
indeed, that the people of Hawaii
must admit that in their capital
city the largest hall for public
meetings is an iron-framed drill
shed.

tary power, but it cannot be con-
quered."
Three quarters of century have
passed since these words were utter
ed, and again the time has come
for the public opinion OF the civil
lied world to bring itself more IN
evidence. We OF Hawaii are but a
drop in the bucket, yet we are
part of the great whole, and even
the people of this country cannot
escape their responsibility simply
because they are few in numbers.
Every word, every expression, every
action of sympathy added to those
already on record is help in the
work and makes more formidable
the power of public opinion to
which the governments of the world
must soon or later listen.

! = THE action of the Executive in
releasing the ex-queen from restric-
tons placed upon her at the time
of her conditional pardon is the
logical outcome of the policy OF
leniency toward political offenders.
The organ of the opposition has
stated that every move in this
direction will serve to heal the
breach that is said to exist between
the Government and a few Ha-
waiians. We sincerely hope that
future events may prove the wis
dom of these statements.

ures of the importation of the
American hooking bird. Unfortu-
nately for this country, we have
received many birds and plants
which came in the guise of bless

Gus pests. We cannot afford to
take any chances in transplanting
foreign blessings, be they beast,
bird or fish.

WHAT MAY BE DONE FOR AR
MENIA.

In recent issue of the Outlook,
considerable space is given to the
ways and means open to the Amer
lean people in the work of putting
an end to the horrors Of Armenian
persecution. It is first asked
whether anything can be done by a
nation not directly interested in
the division of Turkish territory
"a nation averse to taking a
hand in the affairs of Europe and
answers the question by stating
what service Christian pity in
America can render suffering Ar
menians.
In the first place, Americans can
ask for the protection of their own
fellow-citizens a protection that
amounts to something more than a
series of protests directed to govern
ments that give them little or no
attention. Secondly, the President
of the United States, by message
to Congress and by joint resolution,
can express the universal sympathy
of Americans for the massacred
Armenians, and in the name
of humanity, protest against
the criminal indifference of the
Turkish Government. Such action
would receive the support of ma
jority of the English people, whose
national officials are largely re-
sponsible for the present deplor-
able state of affairs. President
Cleveland may find a precedent for
such measure in the action of
President Monroe in 1928, when
Greece was fighting to throw off
the yoke of the Turk. That
action had an ardent supporter
in no less a parsonage than Daniel
Webster, who was then in the
House of Representatives.
Finally it is suggested that
Americans can give material ex-
preston of their sympathy. In
this respect, what applies to Amer
leans applies to the people of every
nation of the globe. Victims of
earthquake, fire and famine have
received succor, why, then, should
friendly aid be withheld from
these unfortunates who are SUI
fering from greater desolation.
Governments are standing back,
each urging the other forward
and at the same time assuming
a threatening attitude the mo-
ment one of their number
makes a move to deal with the
Sultan. 1t appears that govern
ments, as such, cannot rid them
selves of petty jealousies and greed
for gain and take concerted action
in the cause of humanity. Daniel
Webster said: "The public opinion
of the civilized world is rapidly
gaining an ascendency over mere
brutal force. 1t is already able to
oppose the most formidable OBJ
struction to the progress of injustice
and oppression, and as it grows
more intelligent and more intense

GOLD AND LABOR.
Organism Tested by the X Rays OF
History.
Chicago Tribune.)

Chicago Tribune.)
Bryan's New York speech assumes
from first to hast that gold has appreci-
ated enormously since the crime OF
1878" That Is the cornerstone OF his
entire argument for the free coinage OF
silver.
To show that gold has risen in value
Bryan compares its purchasing power
and that OF silver bullion with The
market price of wheat since 1878.
From this comparison he draws his
conclusion THAT gold is becoming deal
and is Jtrangling the prices OF all pro-
ducts and s%uffocating industry.
Bryan's test Is a false one. for the
prices Of wheat and silver have not
gone down evenly. Each has fol
lowed its own path, selling at a price
determined strictly by supply and de,
mand and the cost Of production and
transportation. The farmer got more
for his wheat in 1880 than in 1873.
The only standard by which Ito meas.
ure value Of both gold and silver is
that of THE reward of human labor
the wage scale. If during a long period
Of years the price OF labor of all kinds
skilled and unskilled, and of profes.
yanced so that each man gets more
gold per hour, day or week. then it is
evident that gold has deprecated.
If LIhe American wiorkiingman gets
more grains OF gold at this time than
he did half a century ago per week OF
per day or per hour lit liz evident thai
god has fallen in value, as far as the
purchasing Of labor is concerned.
LAnd If, while the price of labor, as
measured by gold, has risen. the price
of commodities. as measured by gold,
has fallen, iuhe workingman is doubly
fortunate. He gets more gold than ne
did and each grain buys NOR for him

try have been thus blessed every old ol

knows. There is not one of them WITH
cannot recall the days of his youth
when wages were much lower thar
they are now and the hours of worl
we're longer.

which no one has ever questioned

In 1910. 1850, 1860, and 1890 the coun.
try was on a gold basis. Therefore, the
plasterer got for his days work in 1916
almost So grains Of gold. He gets now

grains of gold. That does not Indicate
that gold has appreciated in value and
is strang.ing him.

more Than the So grains did in 1910 the
piasterer would not be a gamer. but he
can buy more food and clothing with
each grain because prices have fallen.
He is then a double gamer.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS.
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.
The republican. OF the State OF Wyo-
ming in convention assembled most
heartily approve and endorse the nomi-
nation Of William Mckinley for presi-
dent and Carrot A. Hobart for vice
president.
We reaffirm our allegiance to repub-
lican principles and policies and de-
clare, with hal able and conspicuous
exponent of republican principles
William McKinley-that the only safe
policy OF the American people is a
speedy return to that system which
will provide a sufficient ven for the
expense of the government; cherish,
protect and build up it's industrial in
~terests. and AFFORD employment with
liberal compensation for every man
and woman d%esirous Of obtaining it.
We call attention to the fact that
this country has been prosperous un-
der a protective tariff. but never with
out 1t. The distressing panic and pow
erty which the people Of this country
are passing through. caused by the re-
peal OF the Mckinley law and the pas
sage of the Wilson-Gorman act, en-
phasizes the fact that protection is the
paramount issue of this campaign.
We favor laws in aid Of state immi-
grafton. We need settlers to open our
mines, to make homes on the millions
of acres of irrigable and fertile public
land, to develop and utilize all our i'm
mense and unused resources.
If the rich rivers which now run to
waste were diverted and used, if the
valleys which border them were re-
claimed and occupied, it would add
hundreds of thousands to IL popula-
ton and hundreds of millions to our
taxable wealth. 1t would stop the
drain of money sent each rear to sur
rounding states to purchase farm pro-
ducts, revive trade in our cities and
towns, tighten the burden of taxes and
afford employment to labor. To secure
these results and to aid those who re-
claim and make productive these I'M
occupied wastes, we favor legislation
