STUCK TO HIS PRINCIPLES.

In Kentucky it is necessary for a
voter to pay poll tax of 81 in order
to be allowed to vote. This necessi-
tates a campaign fund in both parties
in order to enfranchise such voters as
cannot pay the tax.
At Mount Sterling an old man came
in and the manager Of the Republican
campaign asked him if he had voted.
No; hain't got my poll tax paid
yit," was the reply. Two dollars were
given to him and he started for the col
lector's office. On the way he met the
Democratic candidate.
Voted YETI" inquired the politician
No; hain't paid the poll tax
The candidate produced 81 and the
old man went, paid the poll tax and
returned and voted.
well, you voted right, did you?" in
quired the Republican.
''Yaas. L allus vote as my conscience
dictates. l never lows no considera-
ton but duty ter influence me. 1 voted
as | allus does, the straight Prohibition
ticket, to do away with rum and drive
Their corrupt old parties out of the coun-
try.'-Washington Star.

II. w. Wilson; writing on THE HUI
man Animal in Battle gives a pecu-
liar twist to the effect which the in
creased skepticism on the conditions Of
the hereafter will have upon the fu-
trre soldier. He says:
The decay of religion, which is so
widespread a feature of our times, has
contributed to the downward progress
of the individual, by making death
more horrible because of the greater
uncertainty of the future beyond the
grave The problem is how to i'm
plant courage and avoid panic. Cour-
age is simply control of the nerves,
and is largely due to the habit of con-
fronting danger. This much is certain,
that the future battle will be a severer
trial to the nerves shan any past en-
counter. To meet that trial the nerves
of the modern civilized man are less
fit than they were in the past"
. This is certainly a unique PROPOSE
tiOn.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

An Industrious trifier, writing in a
French review, has been at the pains
to ascertain what is the annual con-
sumption of coal on railways and steam
transportation companies of the coun-
try, and he has worked out a total of
1882, $50 tons. This he tells us would
make a pyramid SIC feet high and S94
feet at the base, or nearly 20 feet above
the height of the great pyramid. Then
he goes on to calculate that if all this
coal were loaded in trucks the train
would be 1925 miles long; or, as if in
nice feeling for the F'ranco-Russian
alliance, he puts it, the distance from
Paris to st. Petersburg. If this train
had to travel at the rate of 1872 miles
an hour it would take it between three
and four days to pass a given point.
The railways of the whole world con-
sumo, he asserts on the faith of sta
tistics which are doubtless fairly ac-
curate, nearly So 100000 tons of coal,
which would make twenty-five Great
Pyramids" but he does not draw any
moral from these figures, except that
a great deal of carbonic acid is thus
precipitated into the atmosphere.-The
Westminster Gazette.

A writer in the Cornhill Magazine
endeavors to create sympathy for the
miIIionaires of the United States by
suggesting that the founders of the
great fortunes of today started out as
poor boys, and the succeeding genera
tions are really not so much to be
blamed for the wealth bestowed upon
them Commodore Vanderbilt started
as a poor, barefooted boy; the first
John Jacob Astor was a common
butchers son; Leland Stanford, Chas
Crocker, Mark Hopkins and Coils P.
Huntington were penniless in 1850;
Rockefeller and his associates started
out comparatively poor, and Jay Gould
was a farmer boy and later a dry
goods clerk. So far as the early his
tory of these men is concerned it is all
right The simple fact that man has
become wealthy is no sin. The evil
rests in the misuse, often criminal mis-
use. of the power which his millions
give him With few exceptions, the
amassing of great wealth leads to
heartless disregard for the welfare of
those less fortunate; the crowding out
of men of equal ability in order that
greater sums may roll into the pockets
already overloaded.

One of the Ii Hung Chang's widely
copied statements is China, Japan
and America must settle the bimetal-
lie question" If the United States
adopts the silver basis it will be forced
into closer friendship for the Orient,
Notwithstanding Candidate Bryan
would probably denounce the suggest
ion that birds of feather flock to-
gether. The prosperity he proposes to
bring to the United States is very much
upon the Chinese order of affairs.

COFFEE GROWERS SHOULD OR
CAME.

The Hilo Tribune has come forward
with the recommendation for 1.-The or
ganization of the coffee growers of the
Islands for the purpose of grading the
coffee through an authorized agent,
and putting it on the market in such
a way that dealers all over the world
will be able to order coffee of a desig-
mated grade, and be sure of the quality
they will receive" This subject was
preached by this paper some time ago,
and is certainly a proposition on which
all the coffee producers ought to unite
in carrying out. Although the industry
is quite in its infancy, the time will
soon come when the, question of mar
keting the crop will be a live issue.
That there is always a good market
for coffee ought not to produce such
a feeling of confidence that the plant
ers will fail to organize and be fully
prepared to place the Hawaiian pro-
duct on the market to the best pos
sible advantage. For every planter to
paddle his own canoe" and let the
other fellow take care of himself, the
inevitable result must be a gradual
loss of prestige which the Hawaiian
product now has. Brands of coffee, good,
bad and Indifferent, may be forced
upon the market and the purchaser
have comparatively little assurance as
to the quality of the coffee he obtains.
Whatever may be the success of the
plantations, the time has come when
there ought to be an active. healthy
national association of coffee planters.
A good portion of the men now in the
business are learning the lesson as they
go. There is comparatively little coffee
literature" obtainable, and it would be
a boon to the small pioneer planters for
a national association to be ormed and
its meetings beId on somewhat the
same plan as thes FarmeFsS Institutes

In another column is given scheme
for obtaining labor on the coffee plan
tations, which is now being tried by
one of the most enthusiastic and pro-
gressive coffee planters on the Islands.
We understand that the plan has not
gone beyond the experimental stage,
but it is sound in the essential feat
ures and gives every promise of sue
cess. 1t should be hailed with particu-
lar favor, since it contemplates doing
away with the contract system and
gives the laborers a direct interest in
the successful management of the en-
tire plantation. 1t forecasts small
settlement of sturdy, Woodworking fam
lilies. Of which this country stands in
need Let every plantation deal out
its lands on this proposition and the
coffee planters will come so much
nearer the solution of the vexed labor
problem.

in the United States. An exchange OF
ideas, an opportunity for those mex
perienced in the ways and means of
handling the crop and the tree to gain
a hint here and there that can be used
TO practical advantage; all this many
planters already feel the need of. and

ing when the problem becomes not

Feminine argument may not always be

a meeting of the advisory committee held
today at the Auditorium hotel They
went into session at IL o'clock and did
not adjourn until after o'clock tonight,
just in time for Mr. Hanna to catch a
train back to Cleveland.
Just before he left for Cleveland tonight,
Chairman Hanna said he was not SER

of free silver sentiment in the western
states. He does not believe it is as strong
as it has been represented, but he will
conduct the campaign upon the idea that
the silver people have as much strength
as they claim.

Tribune from indianapolis says: The
first authoritative political statement
from General Harrison since the ST. Louis
convention was given out this evening
just after he had finished packing his
effects for a trip to the New York noun
tains, where he will spend the summer.
He said:
II have been so busy with private af-
fairs that it will be impossible for me
to take any active part in the campaign
before some time in October. l cannot
allow myself to be quoted on the issues
without thorough preparation, but I want
to say l was pleased to see the Republic
can convention take the stand it dad for
sound money. l believe in the platform
and earnestly desire the success of the
party.
II take as much interest as a private
citizen can. but I am compelled to dis
appoint many friends who have sent re-
quests for speeches because of the rush of
private affairs. / hope to be able later,
however, to have something to say"
1t was further learned that while Mr..
Harrison may not be abe to make. a
campaign through the state. his friends
expect to get up a monster meeting in
this city after his return from the east,
at which it is understood he will make
a. speech.
