They VIII Talk Common Sense and
Sound Logic to the People.
Canton, July 22.-The Republicans
expect to conduct very strong speak
ing campaign. Major McKinley's
managers in looking over the list of
available speakers found that they
have more than fifty men of wide ac-
quaintance and established reputation
upon whom they can call. In addi-
ton to these well known spell-binders,
there are $50 men who have reputa-
tions in their own and neighbOring
states for campaign oratory of I'M
common excellence. Ex-President
Harrison, Senator j. B. Foraker, Thos.
b. Reed, Charles Emory Smith, Hen
ry Cabot Lodge, Senator Sherman,
Gov. Hastings and Chauncey NJ. De-
pew will be expected TO do the heavy
work.
Already these men have received
letters from scores of citizens asking
them to make speeches, but it is like
ly that when the national committee
gets to work in it's headquarters all
arrangements will be made through
the medium of it's speakers bureau.
Several committees have been to see
ex-President Harrison and number
have called on Senator Foraker. 1t is
understood the latter has promised to
go to the Pacific slope and that Gen
Harrison will make a tour through
! the western states.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES AGAIN

During this breathing spell between
the summer vacation season and the
holidays, there ought to be combina-
ton of forces to bring about better
organization of the charitable associ-
atoms of Honolulu. The formation of
central society has been preached
by this paper previously and received
very favorably by the business commu-
nifty, which would perhaps be one of
the greatest beneficiaries. The forma-
ton of a central body with paid agent
to investigate each AMI every applica-
ton for assistance would also guard
against the injury done deserving poor
by those prone to impose upon the gem
crosby of business men.
A good example of the value of CEN
tralizing the charitable forces of city
is found in the methods used in Chi
cago for directing charity. In that city
the sum of one million two hundred
thousand dollars is contributed annu-
ally through the 200 charitable insti-
tutions for the relief of the poor and
unfortunate, and the sum of seven
hundred and eighty thousand dollars
is spent for outdoor relief and for the
support of charitable institutions.
Through the Civic Federation of Chart
ties this immense sum is distributed
under the direction of DR.. Philip w.
Ayres, so that the least possible am
cunt goes to waste. DR.. Ayres has
charge of the central bureau of chart
ties, and the greatest care is taken to
prevent the same individual or family
from drawing assistance from two Diff
ferent sources. The history of each
case is kept on file, and these histories
now number upwards of $4,000, giving
most complete history of pauperism
in one of the worst cities in the United
States. The system is so complete that
deceits and Implications are next to
impossible.
OF course the charitable work in this
town does not require an exorbitant
amount of money, and we may be
thankful that the proportion of Homo
lulu citizens dependent upon charity
is very small when compared with
many cities; yet at the same time this
is no reason why the several societies
should each be going their own way
when money could be saved, more de

United States Attorney General Har-
mon has given his opinion of the prin-
ciples Candidate Bryan represents, and
stigmatizes them as more dangerous
than the tenets of the secessionists.
He pays particular attention to the
declaration against Federal interior
ence in suppressing riotous disturb
ances. After citing the law under
which President Cleveland acted in
taking a hand in the Chicago riots, Mr..
Harmon says: 1T was under the pow
er conferred by the last section that the
late rebellion was suppressed. Mr.. Bry-
ans doctrine that this law is unconSti-
tutional is more dangerous than that
of secession. The latter, at least, left
the Government some power and au-
thority in the territory of States which
should choose to remain. Mr. Bryan
would reduce it to the idle mimicry
of the stage. 1t was no more intended
to make the General Government de-
pendent upon the States with respect
TO the matters committed to it than to
make the States subject to the General
Government with respect to the rights
reserved to them. AS the General Gov
eminent is authorized to maintain a
regular army and navy, which the
States cannot do, and as the militia of
all the States is subject to the direct
call of the President, it was natural
that the States should be made to call
upon it for aid against violence, but
there was no reason why it would call
or wait on them for protection to itself

lawyers and students of the Constitu-
ton. 1t is chiefly intended for the peo-
pie at large, before whom the subject

uninteresting place this world would
be if ali the social and religious prob
lens were solved; too many want to
hush up" matters that give promise
OF engendering sharp differences of
opinion; they want the next genera
ton to work the thing out, if it
won't work out of itself. The men
who treMble for the outcome when a
nations strength is being tested. too
often fail to see the sound foundation
being laid for the structure which must
constantly go on being remodelled. A
mouse always looks ungainly while in
process of erection, but every homelv
timber has its place, and in some wav
adds to the beauty of the finished
structure. A great many people in
both public and private life would be
well to remember the words of a cam
paign song which runs:
Though Righteousness now and then
suffer defeat
Seem checked like the oak pruned so
near to it's base
lis but for new strength, when, with
armor complete,
Irresistible Right will all error dis
place"

THE RIGHT WILL WIN.

The explanation OF the restlessness
of the present day as given by Rev.
DR.. BRINE Sunday morning was indeed
refreshing after the dismal tone which
runs through the many opinions now
set forth in the pulpit and by writer's
and orators generally. The pessimist
has had and is having a most excellent
opportunity to get in his work, and
howl like the sick dog baying at the
moon, since the preparations for a
general election in the United States
stirred up the disagreeable sediment of
social conditions, which some poor,
thoughtless individuals had dared to
hope might always remain at the bot
tom and never attract serious atten-
ton
There is always a class in the world
who, after living few years in
peace and contentment, form an idea
that the world is pretty nearly as
good as it ought to be, and if it has not
reached the pinnacle of righteousness
the remainder of the pathway will be
free from violent demonstration or
periods of serious trouble. When on
occasions the reality of the Unborn
cussedness of human nature and the
crudeness of the institutions framed
by human hands is impressed upon
this class, the shock is so great that
they Immediately turn to predicting
that this or that nation, and possibly
the whole world, is rapidly rolling on
the bow-wows.
In times of political trouble and So
cial revolution there are always more
preachers of damnation than of sal
vation; there are always more men
ready to pick out the flaws, to sit back
and do nothing, than there are to put
their shoulders to the wheel, make the
best of the present and exert every en-
ergy to bring out every good that may
result from an evil agitation. Too
many fail to appreciate what terribly

A BIG COLLECTION.

At one of the meetings of the Christ
ian Alliance, held at Old Orchard, Me-,
last summer, the largest collection on
record was taken for missionary OBJ
iects. During the day S101,324 was sub
scribed to carry on missionary work;
on the same day nearly 100 persons vol
unteered to go to foreign fields. The
scenes which attended the subscrip-
ton are spoken of by the Eastern press
as something remarkable. Enthusiasm
knew no bounds, and gifts of every
form and description were rendered,
varying from $4,000 in cash to jew
elry, pianos and real estate. Men and
women by the score seemed to have
been attacked by a religious mania
equal to that of the great going up
day in 1881, when the end of the
world was predicted.
The religious press of the United
States has been inclined to frown upon
this big collection since the whole at
fair seemed to have been an epidemic
of religious hysteria. One paper says:
There was about thousand dollars
worth of watches and jewelry given,
every one receiving for his gold watch
an iron one marked gold for iron, or
for jewelry an iron pin. One woman
who gave up her watch with sob,
saying it was an heirloom, afterward
asked to have it returned to her, as it
was a present from her mother, now
dead, and she had given it under eX-
element. The Christian Alliance lead
ers, however, according to their Gus
tom, refused to return it. On the whole
it may well be questioned whether this
great annual collection results in as
large gifts or as healthy a state of
Christian feeling as the more quiet,
steady and permanent methods pur-
sued in our churches.
Still another religious organ refers
to the meeting as wonderful eXhi5i-
ton of the power of religious emotion
when awakened in large body of
people, and although self-forgetfulness
is an inspiring thing, in this instance
it was undoubtedly carried to an ex-
IRENE On the whole. from the ac-
counts given in the newspapers, the
whole thing appears very much on the
same plane as an Irish wake. The
methods of the speakers were such as
to play upon the emotions of their
hearers Christian enthusiasm that
lasted long enough to get dollar or
two was sufficient, and in nine cases
out of ten the donor, after reverting
to normal condition, was ashamed for
his or her lack of self-control Such
religion and such Christian contribu-
ton does more harm than good, and
when leaders revert to such methods
the public has good reason to feel it
possible that the large sum collected
will be injudiciously expended and a
good portion wasted.

will be through persuading his coun-

Rev. DR.. Parkhurst, in his talks on
''The Young Man as Citizen" says:
"a citizen has no more right to be
neglectful of the interests of the civic
whole in which he is member than a
parent or child has to be neglectful of
the interests of the domestic whole in
which he is a member. There is the
same quality of un-Christian disregard
involved in both cases, and whether a
man lets his State or city shift for
itself or whether he lets his family
shift for itself, in the one instance as
well as in the other he is false to his
corporate duty and is a despicable
shirk." Would that the great reformer
could burn those thoughts into the
hearts of the people of today who for
one excuse or another stand aside from
politics until the time arrives for them
to howl about the rottenness of poll
tics. If the sound business and pro-
fessional men of today were less neg
lectful of their civic duty there would
be far less occasion for revolt against
fraud, and corrupt administration.

The death of Judge Austin will open
a fight for the Hawaii judgeship that
has been simmering for a long time.
In fact the position is the most covet-
ed of any or the Island of Hawaii,
since the incumbent when once fairly
settled need not fear the vaporings and
frothings of the opposing factions.
There has been no prospective appoint
ment of late years in which the OPP
posing candidates and their friends
have taken such an intense interest,
an interest so intense in fact that the
advocates seem to think the life of
the country and the next coffee crop
depend upon the action of the Presi-
dent. This paper has comparatively
few suggestions to offer until the as
pirants begin to show their colors. 1t
seems fitting, however, that the next
judge should be selected from the legal
lights of the Island of Hawaii, and
that he should be man who has a
good record for activity and ability as
a practicing lawyer.

1t would certainly be highly pleasing
to the public if the trip of the base
ball champions to Maui could be made
the forerunner of inter-Island base ball
contests. To have young men from the
other Islands take part in the regular
base ball schedule would give new
and healthy interest to the game, both
here and in the outer districts. The
latter. of course, are at disadvantage
Just at present in not being able to
have the same number of men to draw
from, and possibly less time to devote
to practice, but if the plan once got
started it would be possible to hold
some very interesting inter-Island
games. both here, on Maui, and per-
haps Hawaii. When steamers begin
to run more frequently an inter-Island
league ought not to be such a far dis
tant possibility.

The son of a United States Senator
who is planting coffee in Mexico says
that the less he pays his men the better
they work, and they are withal better
satisfied with their condition, in con-
sequence of having less money to
waste. This is an extraordinary state
of affairs. and places Mexican labor On
the same plane as good many ind1-
viduals who cannot stand prosperity;
the only way for them to be kept IN
condition to work is to allow only star
walton wages. Hawaii gets some pretty
poor material for labor sometimes, but
fortunately it has not dropped to the
Mexican level yet.
