ST. LOUIS COLLEGE.

A representative OF The INDEpEN-
DENT called at the St. Louis College
this morning and was most affsbly
received by Brother Bertram, the
principal of the famous educational
institution.
Many changes have been recently
made at the college. Owing to the
change in the had Of the Nuuanu
stream large portion OF the play
grounds has been cut away and it is
to be- regretted that no suitable
space is available for the favorite
sport of the boys base ball.
In exchange the Catholic Mission
has received several valuable lots on
the mauka side OF The college build
ings which will bs a great improve
ment as soon as tho buildings on tho
lots are removed, which, it is hoped
the Government will do without de-
lay. The Nuuanu stream will, when
the works are finished, run close to
the fence OF the college and un
doubtedly materially improve thu
sanitary condition OF that vicinity,
That is, il the water is kept pure.
Great improvements have been
made ia the hall of the ST. Louis
Literary Society. The main hall
has been arranged as an amphi-
theatre and the place for he orches.
ira has been lowered. a large mum
Der OF people can be seated in his

has been added which will be used
for rehearsals, dressing room and
meeting room FOR tho members of

put in shortly and all Accommodations

ED. The INDEPENDENT:-

In your comment on the Adver-
Users interview with Mr. Dilling.
ham in regard to the Waianae Co.
coffee you say: "The Waianae Plan
tation has grown coffee and sold its
products long before Mr.. Ahrens'
advent"
AS l have been employed on the
Waianae Plantation from shortly
after it's inception until the present
time your slur on me is entirely un-
called for. The success of the enter
prise is almost wholly due to my
constant planning and the ability Of
Mr.. Otrembs, the overseer of the
coffee plantation, as the $4,000 trees
now growing amply attest. Mr..
Rycroft of Puma, during late visit
to the plantation stated that there
was no finer coffee in the Puma Dis
trict than that on the Waianae
Plantation.
Your statement that "many pounds
Of coffee have been shipped from
Waianae in the past" is not true.
AS a matter of fact the Plantation
Company paid natives 10c. a pound
for picking the wild coffee for use
on the plantation, the amount pick
ed was not sufficient to supply the
inhabitants OF the place, and not one
pound has been sin the market" as
you state. In comparison to this
you may say that the Hawaiian
sugar industry was established long
before Captain Cook discovered the
islands, as cane has grown here long
before Cook made his appearance.
In regard to blight 1 wish to state
that many trees have been killed
and further success would not be
possible il we were not protected
by the lady bug.
hope you will accept this as
true statement and in justice to me,
for l am willing to believe that your
article resulted from ignorance of
the facts. Respectfully yours,
AUG. AHRENs.

coming. The improvements in the
theatre have been paid for by the
literary society from subscriptions
and from the proceeds of peform-
ances given. Mr.. Thomas Lucas has
made the changes mentioned, and has
as usual completed the work to the
satisfaction OF himself and en-
ployees. He has been ably assisted
by Brother Phillip who apparently
knows what "Tommy" want without
using the Roetngen X ray.
Other improvements at the col.
lege are also noticeable. The bath
rooms are being painted and excel
lent water tanks have been procured.
The grounds are as beautiful as
ever and the college as a whole
presents a homelike, and charac-
teristic picture.
Five hundred pupils seek admis-
sion to the school and Brother Ber-
tram fears that he will be obliged to
turn many applicants away for lack
Of space. A staff of twenty four
teachers will do all in their power to
bring up this little army of young
sters to be worthy and useful citi-
zens of the country.
To-day is the 18th anniversary of
the arrival to this country of the
brothers. 1t is appropriate to thank
them for the good and faithful work
done in the past and wish them all
possible prosperity in the future.
May they be granted life and grace
to continue their work for many
years to come.

Whence Came KissingP

The origin OF this important So
cial function has been pnzzling
American scientists. 81 have never
met with really satisfactory ana
lysis Of the phenomenon" said one
Of them. "Now, it appears to me
that the genesis of the kiss lies in
the animal pleasure OF taking food
iuto the mouth. With the very first
man that which was pleasing and
acceptable to the taste was taken
i"to the mouth accompanied by a
drawing in and smacking of the lips
as air was drawn through them,
while that which was distasteful was
spit out, the air leaving the mouth,
the lips pouted, and often Kissing
sound accompanying the operation.
Now, then, when lips meet in the
kiss they are drawn in, as Though
they would take their object into
their mouth, air is taken in, and a
smack is heard which says, Il love
you enough to eat YOU"

If Patriot would take the trouble
to enquire among certain prominent
merchants and professional men, he
would soon learn that large num-
Der of them recently have been APP
preached with request to join the
association, and have emphatically
declined to have anything to do
with the Infamous movement. If he
used his eyes and ears he would
soon be convinced of the existence
of an A. p. A. here. Only a few
weeks ago, Editor &. X. Wilder of
the Hilo Tribune complained, be-
cause the A. p. A. was being felt in
public and private life in Hilo, and
he denounced the promoters in

Wilder can hardly be called dis

to "Patriot's" views.

THE A. P. A. IN HAWAII.

An anonymous correspondent OF
the Advertiser, over the signature
Of Patriot" has taken up the cudgels
for the A. P. A. in very mild and
indefinite manner. The "Patriot"
should have signed his communica-
ton with his full name, and then by
looking over the list OF the members
OF the A. P. A. we feel sure, that we
would have found his name. He
has, however, like the rest of the
members of that damnable organiza-
ton, not the courage OF his con-
victions.

able to learn that such is the case.
We have an idea, that there are

CHICAGO, I'LL, Sept. 16.-Fusion of the
Democrats and Populists on Presidential
electors, State ticket and Congressman
was completed to-day at meeting of the
Democratic State Central Committee. The
agreement had been made in detail by the
leaders on both sides beforehand, and only
the formal execution was needed to make
the fusion legal and binding.
Under the agreement the resignation of
Thomas Carey, elector at large Of Chicago {;
Justice George P. Foster of Chicago, Third
District elector, and George NJ. Lecrone of
Bingham, Nineteenth District elector,
were accepted and the vacancies filled by
three PopuliSts-H. r. Taubeneck, ex-
chairman of the National Committee; Dr.
H. s. Taylor, chairman of the Cook
County committee, and Herman Ais
chuler, a Popplist elector committed to
Watson. Andrew L. Maxwell, chairman
of the Populist State Committee, was put
on the Democratic ticket for State Auditor
in place of w. F. Beck, who resigned for
that purpose.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT GiIi's resignation
as Democratic elector, because OF differ
ences with Governor Altgeld and lack of
sympathy with the National platform, was
referred to the executive committee to
accept or not.

LINCOLN, NEBR,, Sept. 16.-The Lans-
ing Theater was crowded to the doors this
afternoon. the attraction being Hon.
Thomas L. Watson's address on the is
sues of the campaign. Mr.. Watson was
introduced by State Chairman Emission
and spoke for an hour and a half His
speech was defense of the Populist Ma
tioual platform, and in no sense did the
Presidential candidate refer to Mr..
Sewall or the recent election In Maine.
Mr.. Watson showed the manner of
putting a nation in bondage" by dwell
ing upon the situation in Egypt and the
recent DESCRIPTION of the Fiji Islands by
Great Britain. Quoting from recent
speech of Major McKinley's, he endeav-
ored TO show the inconsistency of pro.
lection and gold-standard finance, con-
tending that, whereas, high tariff would
raise prices of commodities, the apprecia-
ton In the value of money under gold
recommendation would depress them.
Mr.. Watson warmly eulogized Mr..
Bryan, and when he said 81 sincerely
hope and trust he will be elected" brought
out tremendous and long-continued APP
plause. He was particularly emphatic in
declaring that under no circumstances
would he withdraw from the race, saying /:
''They pat me on sentinel duty to hold a
place on the National ticket They Sc
lected the post of duty, and without soiiei-
tGde, effort or desire on my part, selected
me to I'LL that post of duty; and no matter
what any Republican newspaper or Demo
cratic newspaper may CAV upon that sub
iecL, shall hold that post of duty until

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 16.-"lt Is
the most astounding proposition have
yet heard advanced by any man, ana IL
VIII make US thousands OF votes"
Such was the exclamation of Chairman
Faulkner of the Democratic Congressional
COMMITTEES TO-DAY after reading Secretary
Carlisle's letter.
1.-The sting to this letter is concealed in
the midst OF q lot OF verbiage, but 1t comes
boldly to the front on careful reading
continued Senator Faulkner. in view OF
the Secret ary's letter to me and his pre-
yious statements, l can only look upon
his present attitude as something remark
aDle. 1t would force another issue OF
bonds. In this letter Mr.. Carlisle says
that under such conditions (tree colnage)
the government would be compelled from
the beginning TO exchange gold Tor silver
dollars and their paper representatives
whenever demanded, just as 1t now ex-
changes gold for its own notes when de-
manded.'
such an announcement contemplates
an entire reversal OF the esta blished policy
OF TINS Government and would be viola
tion Cf the law itself The silver certln-
cafe, on It's face, is redeemable In silver
dollars and now the Secretary comes along
with an advocacy of its redemption in
gold, and not only the silver certificates,
but the silver dollars themselves.
NOT more than two weeks ago re-
celved letter from the Secretary which
gave publicity, in which he said that
gold had never been demanded in ex-
change Tor silver during his admin1stra.
tlon, and that the records OF the depart
msnt Jailed to show that such demands
had ever been made.
The letter of the Secretary published
this morning is aSnotice to the bondhold-
ers and syndicates that If the treasury
deems II necessary they will redeem silver
with gold. Ii is the proposed establish
ment OF condition that will compel
another issue of bonds. When the policy
OF redeeming the greenback in gold was
inaugurated greenbacks were cornered and
became the subject of speculation. When
treasury notes were held to be re-
deemable in gold they likewise be-
came the object CT solicitude Cd
the part of the men engaged in the
business of cornering money. Now we
have theastounding proposition 10 pay gold
Tor silver certificates and induce another
money corner that will contract our cur
rency 10 the point of retirement OF the
only money that now does the business of
the people.
"Such propositions as this. or their mere
agitation, are sufficient TO alarm the peo-
pie, and Mr.. Carlisle letter is bound to be
OF inestimable benefit TO those who are
fighting the battles OF the Democratic
party"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 16.-The
revised election returns from Arkansas
are affording the Republican managers
considerable satisfaction. Chairman Bah
cock was in a particularly cheerful humor
as he discussed the subject this afternoon.

Clarke, the Democratic nominee Tor
Governor, carried the State by As, 724
plurality and by majority OF "a, 273
Remmel lR.) received 26,oS5 votes and
Barker (Pop.) 24,541. According to the
returns so far received from sixty-one out
of sixty-hve counties Jones CD received
ceived two years ago. Remmel the Re-
publican candidate, received 26, 4l0, a gain
OF nearly 400 votes, while the Populsts
lost Is, 900 votes from the vote they polled
two years ago.
The significance of all this lies in the
tumble from the heavy plurality of over
$4,000 TO plurality OF $4,000 or Is, 900 less
than two years ago which has taken place
since the first reports OF the recent cleo
ton were given to the public by the
Democratic managers, with view OF off
setting the Vermont tidal wave. Press
dispatches say the four counties yet to
hear from will not materially change the
result. This is probably too optimistic
In view OF the manner in which cleo ion
returns are sometimes manipulated in
Arkansas. Ii would not surprise me if
the returns from those four counties were
held back to round out Jones magnificent

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 16-Con-
gresham Jesse B. Strobe represents the
First Congressional District of Nebraska
in the present Congress. This is the dis
trict formerly represented by William J..
Bryan. Mr.. Strobe is a Republican, and
was elected over Democrat Populist and
Prohibitionist nominees. He lives in
Lincoln, and Is neighbor of Mr.. Bryan's
Speaking of political conditions in Ne
braska, he said to CALL correspondent:
1.-The electoral vote of Nebraska will
surely be cast for Mckinley and Hobart,
sound money and protection. The Re-
publican ticket will be successful by ms
'iority ranging from 5000 TO 10, 900. The
majority depends much ON what takes
place as regards the tail end of the Popo-
cratic ticket. If Sewall is withdrawn,
Bryan's chances will be weakened, be-
cause there are many Democrats who do
not favor making it possible for a thor
oughbreii Populist like Watson to become
iee-President.
"Mr. Bryan win not carry his own voting
precinct A recent poll showed that Nc
kinley and Hobart would poll 20l votes as
against II for Bryan. The Republicans
will carry the districRby at least $500 ma
iority. If the election had been held one
month ago the Democrats would have
carried the State by from 10000 to Is, 900
majority. Now it is Incidentally lost to
Bryan. The cause of this great change is
because the great numb Der of voters OF Ne
braska have been carefully studying the
financial question, something they have
never done before. They have come to
the conclusion that they want no 53-cent
dollars in theirs"
