PECULIARITIEs OF U. $. CAM
PAIGN.

A writer in the Outlook sets forth
some of the peculiarities of the political
campaign in the United States that are
indeed rather grotesque and give an ex-
ample perhaps of the extent to which
party machinery sways principles and
men. rather than the principles and
men swaying the party machinery.
For instance, Mr.. Bryan is a free
trader of the most pronounced type
He first laurels in the United States
Congress were won by speech and
a strong free trade speech at that. He
does not believe it a good policy for his
country to adopt an exclusive tariff and
shut out the products of other countries.
He would open wide the doors of trade
and allow the commercial nations OF
the world to meet the American produ-
GERS and manufacturers on a common
footing. But when it comes to matters
of finance and the party says silver, Mr.
Bryan's opinions suddenly change. He
would have the United States establish
its own currency regardless of what the
large commercial nations have to say.
He wants free trade, and with it a
fat currency that will isolate his coun-
try from other nations far more quickly
than a high tariff
Now Maj. Mckinley is the champion
of the policy that will bottle up the
trade of his country and at least cut
down the imports. He believes the best
interests of the nation are served by
going it alone" and seeing to it that
the American producer, the American
and incidentally the Am
erican laborer is thoroughly protected
against the onslaughts of cheaper pro-
duction, cheaper manufacture and
cheaper labor of other nations. One
would naturally suppose from his pre-
Fious record that Mckinley would be
quite willing to adopt a currency that

ed States regardless of the monetary
systems of the outside world.
Thus the advocates of silver are at
tempting to impress upon the people
the folly of isolated industry, while the
gold bugs tell their followers that com
mercial freedom is entirely out of the
question for the United States. The
situation is to greater or less extent
the result of party manipulation. Had
the Republicans declared for free silver,
the chances are ten to one that the
Democratic platform would have had
more distinct leaning toward gold
When two principles will not amalga-
mate theoretically. the party managers
simply join them together and endeavor
to make them stick long enough to get
through the campaign successfully.
The floating vote" as rule doesn't
stop to consider the theoretical phase
OF the situation, but swings into line
with the men who use smooth language
to the dear people.

One of our evening contemporaries
has from time to time called the atten-
ton of the Board of Health to the con-
dition Of the Halawa cemetery, where
the victims of last years cholera
scourge are buried. Although realizing
the duty of the Board in this matter, we
have kept in the background in order
to allow our friends TO claim all the
glory which might accrue through their
efforts. But as the efforts seem to have
resulted in little or nothing being done,
We are inclined to render helping
hand. At present the Halawa cemetery
is overgrown with weeds, and grue-
some mounds and small wooden stakes
alone mark the burial place of those
who were cut down by the plague. The
spirit that prompts men to hope for
something to be done to relieve the
desolation of the spot may be purely
sentimental, yet it is a sentiment that
has a strong hold on the hearts of civil
lied humanity.

BRITISH GUIANA AFFAIR.
Retrenchment Ordered in the Poll
Department.

Retrenchment Ordered In the Police
Department.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Word has
reached here from British Guina indi-
eating that the High Court of Policy.
or Legislature of the Colony, is further
inclined to resist the London authori-
ties on matters connected with the
venezuelan boundary trouble.
Colonial Minister Chamberlain's pol
icy has been to strengthen the colonial
military force and buy Maxim guns.
He found difficulty in securing the guns.
and now the High Court has passed a
resolution respectfully urging the Gov
eminent to reduce military expenses.
Hunter, who introduced the resolu-
ton. said in supporting it that the
Venezuelan boundary trouble had re-
suited in swelling the cost of the police
from s1S5,O00 to 100000. They were,
he said, simply sent up to the Venezue-
Ian boundary to be made dummies"
OF. He understood that a number were
sent there fully armed to protect the
boundary. and if the enemy approached
they were to say boo" and retire.
Hunters further structures on the
military and police caused something
OF a sensation. He was supported by
number OF members. and the resolution
calling for retrenchment passed.
Sir Augustus Hemming, the Governor
General, then brought forward a novel
plan for Strengthening the military
branch by enlisting Indians as Colonial
troops. 1t was explained that the sys-
TEN would be somewhat similar to that
conducted by Great Britain in India,
where the native troops are one of the
most effective branches of her majesty's
military forces.
The Attorney General, in supporting
the proposition, said it was proposed
to give them regular commissions and
titles, as captains, ETC.. as the Indian
thought great deal of himself if he
bore title and staff Office. The com

Drain Upon United states Banks-Get

Drain Upon United States Banks-Get-
ting Serious.
CHICAGO, Aug. A special from
New York to the Tribune says: The
syndicate of foreign bankers which
came into existence to check the drain
on the United States Treasury reserve
exerted by Europe has been signally
successful in its efforts in that direc-
ton, but the Withdrawals of gold for
shipment to Canada continue
1t was very generally said in official
and banking circles down town that all
the gold withdrawn for Canada nets
supposed shippers a premium of at
least one-half of 1 per cent over and
above any profit on the exchange trans
action. The agents of the Canadian
banks Indignantly deny that the gold
is withdrawn for the sake of the pre-
MUM on it; that it is simply sent to
Canada because it is cheaper to send
gold than exchange. They say that as
the money is owing and has to be re-
mitted when called for, gold has to be
sent because of the impossibility of get
ting exchange except at much greater
expense.
The effect of heavy Withdrawals from
banks last week is partly Offset by the
knowledge that the bankers syndicate
has been extended until it is now said
S250,000,000 of exchange can be supplied
if necessary between now and election
time. The syndicate was originally
formed to furnish $5O,OOO,OOO to $751;
900, 900.
The Chicago banks volunteering to
strengthen the Treasury with some of
their gold have made all of their depos-
its at the Chicago Sub-Treasury. Cash
Ter Pratt said the total amounted to
$2,425,00 The gold is now being weigh
ed for shortage.
All coins falling below a ten-grain
limit must be made good by the banks
depositing. Thus far in the test the
gold has been found of standard weight.
The deposits bring the supply of the
yellow metal in the Chicago Office up to
s12, 500, 600

An American writer estimates the
cost of making a President in the
United States from eight to ten mil
lions of dollars. He includes in this the
losses entailed by the check in bust
ness that always follows the uncertain
ty of a Presidential campaign. But
even the amount of money expended
by national committees is something
enormous, and demonstrates that the
American leaders are willing to spend
a good sum of money in the education
of the political mind. In 1880 the Re-
publican national committee received
subscriptions amounting to $3.50, 900.
In the following Presidential campaign
100000 was raised and at the close,
the chairman of the committee made
good deficiency of 100000 from his
own pocket-book. During the last
Decentralization campaign chair
man Carter had 81 900 900 placed at his
disposal for campaign purposes. This
was the largest sum ever raised by a
national committee. In 1888 one Dem
ccratic leader contributed $3.50, 900, and
at the close of the campaign Calvin S.

THAT AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT

1t is really almost gratifying to note
that the only paper that has taken up
the eudgel against proper exhibition
of Island products starts in by suggest
ing that its ideas are of the silurian and
antedeluvian order. There is nothing
like papers knowing to what age it
belongs.
Everything that has been said against
the exhibit scheme thus far has simply
been rehash of old fashioned argu-
ments, usually used by class who
are drag on the progress of any com
munity. 1t is the cant do it, story
over again, and simply a plea to pre-
serve the old ruts in which the advertis-
ing department of this country has run

BTice made good a deficiency of $780,
600. Even these figures do not repre-
sent the total amount of money spent,
since every town, city, county and State
has its own party committees that put
out as much if not more gold coin.
There is one redeeming feature how
ever The amount of money contribut-
ed is no index of the verdict of the
voters. Chairman Carter with his mil
lion dollar contribution could not push
back the wave that swept Grover Cleve-
land and his party into power.

The pure milk agitation that is
attracting more or less attention in
San Francisco just at present ought to
carry with it a suggestion to the people
ofHonoluIu. Weare not prepared to state
that the milk sold in Honolulu is not
as pure and as unadulterated as any
ever put on the market; neither are
We prepared to state that there is a
single unhealthy animal in any dairy
herd in the country. On the other hand
We have no assurance that the milk is
always pure and that the herds are all
healthy. Ii will be remembered that
Governor Morton's herd of Jerseys
that won prizes at the Worlds Fair
was found not long since to be infect
ed with tuberculosis, and as result a
good portion of the animals were killed.
Now what guarantee have our people
that the same condition of affairs does
not exist among some of the island
cattle 1t should be remembered that
the presence of tuberculosis might not
and ordinarily would not be detected
except by veterinarians, hence the
owner OF dairy cattle would be en-
tirely free from blame if his cattle
were found diseased. The question
then arises whether it is not in the in
terest of public health for the proper
officials to institute a system of cattle
inspection that viii extend beyond the
confines of the slaughter house. {

TROMSOE, Norway, Aug. 4.-The
Arctic expedition headed by Sir Martin
Conway and his nephew has accom-
plished the first crossing of Spitzen-
bergen from east to west. In the CEN
trail portion of the islands was found a
vast ice plateau.
Sir Martin Conway's Arctic expe-
dition reached Advent bay, Spitzen-
bergen, via Tromsoe, on the steamship
Raftsund, from England on June 10th.
The members of the expedition were
Sir Martin Conway and his nephew,
Trevor Battle, DIR. ]. w. Gregory. E. ].
Garwood and Mr.. Studley, sportsman.
They possessed two Norwegian ponies
and three sledges of the pattern adopt
ed by hansen.
The explorers proposed to split up
into two parties. Sir Martin Conway,
Garwood and another intended to go
into the interior, while the three re-
naming members were to stay on the
coast to geologic and collect birds and
eggs. Sir Martin Conway had made ar
rangements to be taken off with his
companions about the 9Th of September.
and it will thus be seen that the ex-
petition has returned sooner than ex-
pected.

The plan was discussed at length, but
