1t is good to know that Governor
Stone of Missouri, who displayed such
wonderful skill as a mixer of mata-
phors when he made the Popocratic
notification speech in the Madison
Square Garden, is on the stump.
Wherever he is, there win be eloquence,
piping hot and plenty of it. One of
the subjects to which he is devoting
his talents for mixed metaphor is the
intimidation" or coercion" of railroad
employees. Like his venerable candi-

that the railroad employees are pining
to split their wages, and are prevented
by the loathesome corporations from
huTFahing for Bryan and bad dollars
Reports of Stones speeches are hard to
find, so many other Bryanesque orators

loan. We do not agree with them. The
fact that we have annexation as our III
innate goal can have no effect upon the
lean. Annexation is not reputation
Annexation, when it comes, will
strengthen the country and develop It's
resources. Meanwhile, until we get an
nexation, we must strain every nerve
to show that we are alive TO the situ-
alton, and that when We do become part
and parcel of the Great Republic we
shall join with well developed lands,
with good roads, with thrifty set OF
inhabitants, who. having understood
how to help themselves, can worthily
take a part, however small it may be,

they have joined.

Y. NJ. c. a. AND TAXES.

Following out the line Of argument
| made in the Senate Monday upon the
exemption of the Y. NJ. c. A. from tax
alton, it seems that the decision rests
upon the answer to the question: Is a
tartan because it is supported by funds
contributed by the members of evan
gelical churches? If this query is an
swered in the affirmative, then the Ho-
nolulu Library Association is a sec
tartan institution, and the same may
be said of nearly every combination
made to establish institutions that will
place healthful educational influences
at the disposal of the general public.
Whatever the bylaws of the Y NJ. C.
A. may be, or whatever the course of
similar institutions in the United States
may have been, it is true that our As
ISOLATION has been conducted upon a
purely non-sectaPian basis.
With it's free reading room, it's gym
nasium and it's free classes in bookkeep-
ing, typewriting and stenography, the
work of the Association has been purely
philanthropic and free from any infiu-
ences that might jar upon the finer SEN
sibilities of those fearful of having
their people led in the religious path
of the evangelical churches. The AS
ISOLATION rooms as resort for the boys
the young men of the city are safe
guards afainst the ever-present evil in
fiuences that allure too many young
men to ruin.
If we have people within our midst
who will try to make political capital
out of slight recognition of the public |
work done by the Y. M. c. A, the sooner |
we find it out the better. Does it count |
for naught that this institution plays |
a part in shaping the moral character |
Of the young men of the nation?

Special attention is called to the
Registration Act, published in another
column, which is now the law OF the
land. Although the principles of this
Act have been severely criticised, it
must be remembered that we are deal
ing with practical facts, not theories.
1t is hoped, and we believe, that this
law will prove of invaluable assistance
in carrying out certain restrictive laws
which have become necessary on &C
count of the peculiar character of our
population, and it behooyes every in
teIligent citizen to mark well the pro-
visions of the Act, and lend his inf1u-
ence to strict enforcement.

Sir Alfred c. Lyall recently delivered
a lecture in London upon Conquest and
Commerce." in which he showed that,
viewed from an historical standpoint,
commerce had not been so peaceful a
pursuit as it is usually imagined. Half
the British wars of the eighteenth CEN
fury grew out of disputes over trade.
There is a general desire to drop con-
quest and keep to commerce, but it
seems a difficult task. Fifty years ago
some politician said Great Britain
could hold the trade of India whether
it assumed political control or not, but
all history was against the theory. The
lecturer also pointed out that although
Cecil Rhodes might have his faults, he
had pegged out the lines of great do
minion for England in South Africa.

REFUNDING AND ANNEXATION

There can be no doubt that the fund.
ing bill is thoroughly sound in policy
If improvements are to be made, and
if this country is to continue to keep
in the van of progress, we must have
money to make the required improve
ments. We cannot have our roads i'm
proved, our wharfs built and our tenn
ing and fertile lands opened up to the
population that we hope will fill them
up, unless we have money for the pur-
pose. To say that all the money should
come from Hawaii is on the face of it
absurd. What capital we have here is
needed for local development, will be
needed to carry on coffee plantations
and other local industries, which just at
this moment must have help to carry
them over
We must go to another market, and
we think that the best place for mar
ket is New York. We believe firmly
that with the many friends we have in
that great commercial city loan can
be placed there; but we need some one
to talk it up. Had we a loan placed in
New York it would give us an adj
ditional hold and make the New York
financiers take an interest in us.
Even if we can not get loan in New
York, we ought certainly to get one
in London. Current rumor has it that
certain bright business man has al
ready nearly made arrangements for a
100000 loan. What the rate is we
have not been able to learn.
1t will be a gross financial mistake
for US to go on paying six per cent. for
money when it ought to be obtained !
for four. Even if we can reduce the |
loan to five per cent. we shall be max
ing a step in advance. As Mr.. Thurs
ton clearly set forth in his letter on
this subject, at five per cent. we should
be able to borrow another million and
only have to pay $4,000 a year ad-
ditionaI interest.
In view of the prospects of this coun-
try, there is little doubt but that, if the
Minister of Finance has mis- hands |
properly guided and guarded by the |
Legislature, he will be able to place |
the loan advantageously.
1t is the policy of the anti-anDexa- |
tionists to belittle this country and to
decry this Government, and even to
try and make people think that the an
nexation idea initiates against the |

We would like TO point out to our

MEDICINAL.

INA SHOWER OF BLoOD.-A verita-
BILE shower of blood dashed through
the windows of the 2 o'clock train,
which was loaded with excursionists
for Pitman Grove, N. j., on Saturday
evening, and women screamed with
horror while strong men grew pale.
T le clothing of the passengers became
saturated with the blood, and the car
windows grew red with the flowing
fluid. The train was just drawing in
to Sewell, and upon reaching that sta
ton one of the trains crew climbed to
the top of the car. There blood
curdling sight greeted him. Lying on
the car was the body of young man,
surrounded by blood and brains, and
the top of his head torn away. The
body was taken into the Sewell station,
where it was identified as that of
Richard Stanton, 20 years old, of
Glassboro. "Rickey" Stanton, as he
was called, was a wayward boy. He
had been out west, and was on his way
home from Denver, COL, to see his
mother. He was notorious as train
Jumper" He had stolen rides all over
the United States, though scarcely out
OF his teens. Saturday he boarded the
2 o'clock train at Woodbury., and climb
ed up on the rear car. Just above
Sewell is bridge over the railroad,
which be had failed to see, and he was
killed almost at his mothers door, af-
ter travelling thousands of miles to
reach home.
