safety and honor. Our party is pledged to
1t in the st. Louis platform.
whenever hard times have come upon
the country there have always been men,
calling themselves by some party name
who tried to ride into power the misery
and discomfort of their countrymen. But
thank God, they have always failed and
Will fail again.
-Four years ago the democratic party was
successful the tariff issue. What fol-
lowed is familiar to YOU all-hard times
misery and distress such as was never ex-
perienced before by the generation. Two
years ago the country again turned to the
republican party for relief. The great ma
1ority they sent to the House of RepreSen-
tatives was powerless to afford relief. Why :?
Because the silver trust, led by the Senators
from the silver states was strong enough
In the Senate to bind that body hand and
foot, and absolutely refused to permit any
bill a.ffording more revenue for the support
OF the government to pass unless II con-
tained free coinage amendment.
They we're willing to allow the country
TO go to universal bankruptcy, and even
revolution itself, to accomplish their ends.
1t is but repetition Of what WAS attempt
Cd eighteen years ago. under the leader
ship of some of the men who are now at
the head of the silver conspiracy. They
threatened to 'starve' the government to
death unless they were allowed TO repeal
certain laws which were obnoxious to them.
Did the country approve of their action?
The election returns answer the question.
] believe the efforj of the present conspi
Iators to starve the country into the adop-
tlon of the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver will as signally fail.
The Prediction of Higher Prices.
They tell us We need more money; that
an imitation of the currency, s:lch as would
follow the free coinage of silver. would
result in higher prices for all the products
of the farm, etc. Such has always been
the cry of men who desired to obtain some
thing for nothing.
They tell the farmer he will get higher
prices for his products with free coinage
ard they tell the laborer at the same time
that he will have mole work and higher
wages. All history shows thai the price
of labor is the first to go down and the last
TO go up. The democrats propose in some
mysterious way to suspend the law of sup
ply and demand There is not the slightest
doubt that the unlimited free coinage of
silver in this country would bring down
wages. and that is what many men Who
favor free trade and free coinage want.
'One OF the dangers of this country is
the reduction of wages. 1t will be a sad
day wheE the wages of the laborer in the
of those of China, Japan AMI Mexico. Wn IN
kets of tne world, out 1t would be at the
expense of our rep Iblcan government and
of our civilization. When the wage Garner
is pauDeriZed in this country the power and
glory of our government have departed"
In the evening, with brilliant illunina-
tions, another parade will be made and an

THE JAPS RETRACT
Now Say the Money Was
Their Own.
investigation Continued on Satur-
day-Steamer May be
Delayed.

On Saturday morning at the quar-
antine station there was continuation
of the investigation into the matter
of money put into the hands OF GER
tain Japanese who arrived in Homo
lulu on the steamer Toyo-Maru on No
vember 10th, for the purpose of land
ing.
Marshal Brown, Deputy Collector
General F. B. McStocker, Port Sur
veyor George Stratemeyer and Japan
csc Interpreter Chester A. Doyle were
present.
The purpose, of course, was to ques-
ton the Japanese regarding the pos
session of the $50 which they showed
upon arrival here.
In all there were SO men and 10 wo-
men brought up before the investi-
gators and questioned. All were re-
jected.
The investigation brought out the
fact that the money had been obtained
from the Japanese immigration Com
pany at Kobe, and that these Japanese
had promised to return the money upon
passing this port.
The remainder of the free passen-
gers, of which there are so in all, said
either that their money was their own
or that they had received it from some
of their relatives.
The 40 rejected Japanese have hired
Messrs. Humphreys and Hartwell as
their attorneys, and it is just probable
that the steamer Toyo-Maru, booked
to leave today, may await the outcome
but this is hardly probable.
Upon investigation two days ago, all
the Japanese, without exception, stated
that the money had been given them
by the Japanese immigration Company
at Kobe, but during Saturdays ques-
| tioning some of these took back what
| they said, as has already been stated.
On Friday there was a conference in
the Foreign Office between two repre-
sentatives of the Japanese Immigra-
ton Company and Attorney General
Smith, Marshal Brown, George E.
Boardman, Attorney Humphreys, Ches-
| ter A. Doyle, this at the request of the
immigration company, who desired tC
know the steps the Government were
| taking in the matter already referred
| to. They were informed by the At
| torney General that the possession Of
| the $50 by the immigrants was not 6
| bOna-fide one, and that they would be
sent back to Japan.

A wrinkle, new to Homo
lulu, is old blue china. 1t
has been the rage in the
United States for six months
past, and in Europe for as
many months before. It's the
sort your great grandmOtherS
and their children used; eX-
cept that modern methods Of
manufacture and decorating
enables the potters to make
the pieces thinner and the
decorations finer.
Those people who want
something finer than may be
had in Delft, can be accom-
modated with "Belleek !"
This is a much better quality
and is decorated in a more
artistic manner.
For plain every day use,
the Delft is the best, because
it is made to wear and to
use. We have full sets and
single pieces of it, which
will soon find their way into
the homes Of Honolulu.
Delft is not a fad; it was
used many years ago and
was fashionable for a full
century before we came on
thismundane sphere..I Misplace
was taken by other and
Frenchier patterns; now we
are back to the old German
windmill pictures. Come
and see them.

Recent Running Aground Due in no
Way to Captain Everett.

Recent Running Aground Due in no
Way to Captain Everett.
The unfortunate occurrence of the
steamer Lehua running aground on
last Monday night was in no way due
to the captain in command, Louis Ev-
erett, but was caused by the strong
current which ran that night. The Le-
hua was laden with heavy deck-load
of machinery, and she was unable I'M
der the circumstances to withstand the
force of the water.
When the Lehua got off the sand
bank she got we'll under way, but was
forced to slow down further out to
await one of her boats with a light
aboard, that had been taken out to
one of the buoys for the vessels guild
ance. She did not go on the reef
again.
1t is due Capt. Everett that this ex-
PLANTATION of the true state of affairs
be made public, as people have &C
cused him of being intoxicated at the
time, which is false and altogether
malicious. No man in the employ Of
the Wilder Steamship Company is more
respected or trusted than Capt. Ev-
erett The fact that he was appointed
temporary captain of the Lehua goes
far toward showing this.

OUR COMMON ROADS.
To Repair Them Costs Nearly Twenty
Million Dollars q Year.

To Repair Them Costs Nearly Twenty
Million Dollars q Year.
The total length of the common roads
in this country, good, bad and indiffer-
ent, is estimated by Gen. Stone, of the
road bureau of the department of agri
culture, at something over 100000
miles. The majority of these roads have
been opened by common laborers, hired
by local supervisors, and no engineering
principles have been observed in their
construction. AS result, it costs more
to keep them in repair than If they were
as many finely macadamized roads.
Keeping these poor roads in repair ard
opening new thoroughfares cost Massa-
chusetts in 1898, outside of cities, ST.
1854 or $1,000 per mile; New York,
s., 800, 900, or $50 per mile, and New
Jersey, SITS, 4O7.s2, or $43.25 per mile.
The total expenditure for roads in that
year amounted to about $50 100000. As
a greater part of the enormous sum
was spent in Requiring poorly-con-
structed roads, that would need exactly
the same attention next year, it is not
an exaggeration to say that most Of
the money was wasted. Fine roads can
be constructed all the way from $400
to $500 per mile, according to the nature
of the country through which they pass,
the cost of crushed stone and other N
cheering problems. The cost of keep
ing these roads in repair is infinitely
smaller than that required to repair the
ordinary dirt roads each winter and
spring. when great gulleys and ruts are
washed into them by the rains and
floods -Mrnufacturer.

THE BENEFiCENT GROW.
What He Does for tho Farmer Despite
His Reputation.

What He Does for tho Farmer Despite
His Reputation.
II farmers would make n study ct
natural history and its bearings on
their property-the relation of hawks
to their hen coops, for instance-there
would be better paying crops.
The Year Book of the department of
agriculture tells about COW black
birds and what they eat. About $500
Of their stomachs have been examined,
and of these 2,25S contained food. The
birds were killed in 26 states. Forty
eight per cent. of the food was animal,
IS per cent. vegetable and four per cent.
was mineral. The blackbird has a
variety of things it eats.
"The animal food" says the report,
CONSISTED of insects, spiders, myria-
pods Thousand legs), crawfish. earth
worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails.
fishes, tree toads, salamanders jnewts),
lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice"
To these might have been added young
birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows
caught while swimming in shallow
water, and probably meat and carricn
of various kinds. Most of the animal
food is, of course, insects. These con.
stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the
other two per cent. being the larger
things, like mice. The animal food IL
taken mostly in the summer. In win
ter the food is mostly vegetable matter.
The insects the bird kills more than
make up TIL damage he does, especially
as his nest robbing appears to be only
an accidental habit not often INDUCED
in. A large flock of the birds would Of
course destroy a lot of grain. Some
$4,000 would eat about 5000 pounds n
day, but they would consume as many
insects, which would more than de-
stroy the amount the birds do.
