The Political Situation Is Creating Con-
siderable Interest Just Now.

AS the election draws near there is more
talk of politics, and although there IS no
doubt of the result in Warwick. the contest
between ]. Ellery Hudson and General A. X.
Greene in Coventry is attracting considerable
attention and discussion. In Scituate the
license question is creating considerable
trouble, and the elections promise to be un-
usually interesting. This no-license aeita-
ton, together with number of personal
grievances ana iealousies, is causing trouble
in the Democratic camp, and it Is thought
that its influence will be felt on election day,
and that the candidates OF that party will be
freely knitted, not only next Wednesday, but
at the June town meeting.

A trifiing incident which is worth remem-
bering because the names connected with 1t
are so memorable occurred at Spot pond, In
Stoneham, Mass, one day during the early
days OF this century.
A pleasure party was driving that way,
and when they came to the lake the ladies
exclaimed over the water lilies in blossom
there and expressed the most eager desire
to gather them; but, alasl they were too far
away to be reached, except by boat, and
lamentations were many over the disap-
pointing state Of things.
At length Daniel Webster exclaimed:
"Oh, If were as young as l was a few
years agoi would ransack the shores un-
til found some boat or boards by which /
could reach those liliesl"
No sooner were the words out of his
mouth than nearly all the young men of
the party bounded off in search Of means
for lily gathering One only, Samuel j..
May, then a student in college, remained,
and the glances of surprise with which the
ladies viewed his lack of spirit became al
most contemptuOus.
Nevertheless he stood by unmoved until
his comrades were well out Of sight and

AFTER MANY YEARS.
ALEX. YOUNG LEAVES ACTIVE IRON
WORKS SERVICE.
Succeeded by Mr.. G. Hedemann-
Resolutions Presented to MIR.
Young.

AT meeting of the Honolulu
Iron Works Company held late
Friday, the resignation OF Manager
Alexander Young was accepted.
For two or three years Mr.. Young
has considered the matter of retir-
ing from business. He has worked
faithfully for many years, and has
reached a stage where it is no
longer necessary. But each time
he spoke of retiring, the company
persuaded him to remain longer.
Mr.. c. Hedemann succeeds Mr..
Young as manager of the Iron
Works. He has been associated
with the business in various capac-
tiles for years and is considered a
most capable man. During Mr.
Young's absence in Scotland, Mr..
Hedemann officiated as manager of
the Iron Works. Mr.. Young will
still bear some relationship to the
Iron Works, he having consented 10
act as consulting engineer Of the
business. At the meeting held last
Friday the following self-explana-
tory resolutions were passed:
HONOLULU, Feb. 90, 1896
ALEXANDER YOUNG, ESQ.
DEAR SIR: AT the annual meeting of
the shareholders Of the Honolulu Iron
Works Company, held on the 25th inst
was requested, by unanimous resolu-
tion, to convey to you an expression of
the deep regret with which we accept
your resignation of the responsible po-
sition which you have held for so MANY
years as manager of the company.
From the Incorporation of the COM
pany until this day, you have been so
completely identified with its progress
that it is difficult to think or speak of
one without thinking of the other, and
the gratifying position which the com
pany has attained in this country is very
largely due to the ability, energy and
conscientiousnees with which you have
discharged your important trust.
1t most gratifying to us to know
that as the time approaches when men
have a right to claim a respite from the
strain of continuous toll, whether of
mind or body, you have secured such a
condition OF property as more than
justifies your retirement from the daily
round which has been your life work.
We very earnestly hope and expect that
you may be spared to many years of
prosperity. happiness and usefulness TO
your family, and to the country where
your lot is cast.
We are unwilling to sever, any fur
ther than may be absolutely necessary,
your official connection with ourselves,
and therefore we request you to accept
the honorary post of consulting engi-
neer to the company, and to consider
that you will be as welcome as you have
ever been to your place in the Office of
the company where desk will always
be at your service.
Personally the history of the Homo
lulu Iron Works Company is the history
| between you and myself, which has
never been broken in all these years; it
is especially gratifying to me that l
have been deputed to convey to you
this cordial assurance of regret and
! esteem on the part of the company you
have so faithfully served.
am, dear sir,
Very faithfully yours,
THEo. II. DAVIES,
Pres. Homo. Iron Works Co.
