Hard to See Democracy In 1t.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem.).

Democrats who love their party best
love it because they believe it's historic
principles. faithfully applied, make for
the best interests, of the whole nation;
but they will not recognize those primer
pies in the new monetary doctrine Just
proclaimed at Chicago The banner OF
the hitherto steadfast party of the con-
stitution is temporarily trailed in the dust.
and If the utterances of the press in ali
parts of the country are to be relied up
on, democrats in great multitudes will re-
fuse to follow 1t into a contest in which
they believe victory is neither to be hoped
for nor desired.

The Georgia DeIeeation.
From the washlngton Posi- dndl.

1t was thoroughly appropriate that the
name of Bryan should be presented by a
delegate from Georgia. This state had
been on every side of every presidential
boom since arriving In Chicago. 1t per-
formed the very remarkable and hitherto
unprecedented feat of declaring in three
successive caucuses for three successive
candidates within one day.

"Better Than His Platform

From Charleston News and Courier Dem.)

mated for President by the Chicago con-

A Radical Departure.
From the Nashville American Dem.).

Heretofore democracy has declared uni
versally against paternalism and centrali-
cation. heretofore democracy has stood
for the people, the right of the people
to attend to their own affairs, has op-
posed making the treasury department
under acts of congress the general ana
only bank of issue and the supervisor and
dictator of the financial affairs of the peo-
pie. But in this democratic platform the
new democracy has most certainly depart
ed from the old paths and has taken to
the worship of strange gods. those of pa,
ternalsm and Capitalization. The plat
form is the work of a democratic conVen-
ton, but it departs radically from the dec
larauons of Former democratic conven-
tons. Yet 1t opposes republicanism, and
that is nine points in its favor.

THE PUPILS STATEMENTS.

In dealing with Misrepresentation
penned by Pupil Lytton it is not the
purpose of this paper te rake over the
history of the affairs in this country
which finally led up TO the revolution
of 1893. The whole mater was thor
oughIy investigated by the United
States Congress and the accusations
made against Minister Stevens, the Off
GERS of the Boston and the members OF
the present government here were prov
en- to be absolutely without foundation.
The United States Congress condemn
ed the action OF Mr.. Cleveland, which
was based on the same principles which
Pupil Lytton has been taught to stand
upon The pupil has simply resur-
rected an old line of argument, the re-
futation of which is contained in the
records of the United States Congress
and which every honest citizen OF the
United States or Hawaii knows is COM
pIetely without the necessary facts TO
support it.
The Bishops pupil gathered together
a lot of statements which have long
ago been proven utterly false and fore
ed them upon the unsuspecting minds
of some of his fellow citizens whom he
apparently hopes have forgotten the
details of the past. When he offers de-
tails it will be time enough to give de-
tails in return. Even the organ of the
office to which he was directed states
that Hawaiian flags were displayed by
Honolulu business houses on the
Fourth of July, while Lytton says he
saw only American flags. Here's a
strange discrepancy at. once which
shows that stories of our friends the
so-called opposition seldom hold to-
gether If as the pupil states, por-
ton of the natives are disconnected
it is simply because they have blindly
followed the leadership of the enemies
of honest government from whom the
pupil with equal blindness has taken
his sweeping statements. 1t is case
of not the blind leading the blind but
of an evil political mind leading blind
one and unless the pupil has become
entirely denationalized he will live to
see the day when ne will regret that he
allowed himself to be made the tool OF
man or men who are pleased to cast
reproach upon the action of loyal men
of his own country and citizens of Ha-
waii equally loyal to honest and pro-
gressive government.

What gives President Dole his strong
hold upon the people of the country is
the individual interest which he takes
in the development of agricultural in
dustry and the improvement Of the con-
dition of the common people. This fea-
ture of his administration has again
been brought to notice by his trip
through different districts of Maui. His
visit was not of the official character
which took him only to the most thick
ly populated sections; there was no
false dignity of Office" displayed in his
association with the citizens Of the ISL
and. He was as he always has been a
man among men, with lively personal
desire to do what seems best to uplift
his fellowcountrymen. Maui residents
gave evidence that they appreciated
this estimable characteristic of the chief
executive by extending a cordial and
hospitable reception and taking an en-
thusiastic part in the gatherings which
must result in bringing the officials OF
the Government in close touch with the
people of the outer districts.

learn from each other. Impossible it
is not, for already Eastern literature
and art is making itself felt in the
West. and the rapid extension Of com
mercial relations will assist the good
work"
Thus it will be seen that the writer
believes that the East and West will
strike happy medium and make fair
exchange of the best features contained
in their respective civilizing forces. We
may hope that this will be the ultimate
result, although in past centuries the
advancement of one race has too often
been made through the downfall of its
opponent and the eventual military sub
lection of the weaker power. Should
China come to know it's power her peo-
pie can fight a strong battle in CONNER
cial channels alone.

WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND THE
ORIENT.

Notwithstanding the high state Of civ
day has attained, there are not few
who believe that the advanced" ma
tions of the world are following in the
pathway of ancient Greece and Rome;
that civilization will lead to degenera-
ton. and that the time will come when
the hordes of Asia will overwhelm the
present molders of progressive develop
ment. True it is that such a state of
affairs is possible, though very small
minority will accept the probability of
the theory.
A French writer who takes the ''West-
ern Civilization and the Yellow World
for his theme touches this point indi-
rectIy when he theories on what the
400 900 900 Chinese will do now that
they have suddenly been drawn into the
vortex of Western civilization, after
many years of resistance. He points out
that the civilization of the East and
West differs in every detail, and such an
intermingIing of the two systems as
barbarians seems almost out of the
question. Both systems have grown in
different directions to such an extent
that one must become the subject Of the
other, and he figures that the Chinese
must be the subject.
THE immediate result of the infiu-
ence of Western thought must be a
revolution The union of the Chinese
Empire has so far been preserved by
the powerful influences of family life
and the extreme latitude which is
given to the methods employed by the
administration. Now comes the West
erner with his ideas of personal indie
pendence and the central power of gov
eminent. What will be the result if
patriarchal views are supplanted, if
the respect with which the masses now
regard the Emperor is destroyed, if
high regard for the opinions of their
ancestors no longer influences these
countless millions? Civil war must
ensue as a natural consequence.
America and Europe will then be
forced to interfere, to quench the revo-
Iutionary movement, for the rest of the
world is deeply concerned in the peace
and prosperity of the Flowery King
dom. But the results of such revolu-
tionary movements will be felt for a
long time 1t is to be hoped that the
Western world will exercise sufficient
self-restraint to approach China as
friend rather than a suZerain, and that
both branches of the human race will

low Prospectus Promises.
The New York Times every now and
again has dig at the unfortunate hop
growers. Its latest, January 27, 1896,
was as follows:
"If the hop growers of the United
States can cell 1900, 900 pounds in
Europe, meeting foreign hop growers
there on even terms. without any pro.
lection whatever, it is nonsense to pre-
tend that they cannot more easily
undersell these foreign hop growers
here at home, either with or without
tho tariff protection of the present
Law"
Nobady ever pretended that the
American hop growers "canIot mere
easily undersell these foreign hop
growers here at home" OF course
they can. They can give away their
hops II they want to, and thus control
the home market That would suit
the British brewers syndicates which
control most of our breweries, and, as
their dividends have been pretty low
lately and not up to prospectus pro.
FITS, the New York Times naturally
wants to help its English friends.
If our hop growers did "underseil
these foreign hop growers here at
home" would it pay them to do sc?
That is the American point of view.
We don't want to see American hop
growers raising their crop just for tho
fun of the thing and for the pleasure
OF morteaging their farms till they
are seized by the sheriff. for tn
sake of benefiting British brewing
syndicates. But the New York Times
does want this. The Dem ecratic hard
times have cut down the consumption
of'beer by 750. 900 barrels during the
first quarter OF the present fiscal year
and business in undoubtedly dull
among the British brewers. But it
has been worse with the hop growers,
who have been obligel to sell their
hops anywhere from Two to eight cents
pound without meking cent of
profit.
Root up the American hop yards is
the New York Times idea, SO that
more land may be devoted to other
crops of which we have a surplus. aud
which are not paying farmers money
enough for taxes. Tho condition OF
