Personnel of Party.

Honolulu has as her guests today
the members of the '96 Australian
cricket team. The eleven is homeward
bound on the Mariposa from a most
successful tour through England and
America. Out of thirty-four matches
played in the mother country the Aus
trhlian cricketers won 19 games, drew
and lost 6. In the States they were
defeated but twice.
The team left Australia on March 10
last, going direct to England by way
of Columbo. Besides the contests with
the various country teams, three rep
resentative matches were played with
the English cricket club. The first of
these matches occurred at the Lords
and the day was lost to the Austria
lians.
In the second 60, which took place
on the Manchester grounds, they were
victorious but lost the series at the
contest on Remington oval. The
famous Lord Sheffield team combated
with the younger Britishers for SUI
premacy, which resulted in a drawn
game. The Prince of Wales was y
spectator at this event

MNMH AND HAWAII THE S CRICKET TEAM RNBYS CREATOR DEAD WILL DEFY THE PORTE
VIEWS OF A LUMBER MERCHANT
ON THE COMING ELECTION.
Capt. Chas. Nelson Certain the Repub-
Leans VIII Be Nictorious-Whatt the
Result Means to Hawaii.


eff the national election had taken
place a few months ago there would
have been no question, | believe, but
what Bryan and silver would have ca
red the day. But as it is, | am nov OF
the opinion that McKinley's election
is certain
This was the way that Capt. Charles
Nelson, a big lumber dealer of Sah
Francisco began an interview touching
on politics in his own country, in his
cabin on the Mariposa this morning
Capt. Nelson is engaged in various
other business enterprises aloug the
Pacific Coast and has done consider
able trading with the Hawaiian
islands for the last quarter of CEN
tury. He is now en- route to Sydney
on a business trip.
Eyes. it seems to be the consensus
of opinion among the leading poll
ticians in California now that the
country will go for Mckinley. What
is true of the country in general is
equally true of California in partlcu
lar. The Republicans are unquestior-
ably on top of the heap just now in
the Golden state and unless some new
deals are sprung within the next fort
night, they will remain there"
THE election of Mr.. Mckinley would
mean great deal to the Hawaiian Is
lands" continued the captain. "Thcrc
would be a Republican congress in
sympathy with his administration
and the annexation of the islands to
the Union in the very near future
would be highly probable. At least
this is my firm belief. Those familiar
with this question in the states and
especially along the California coast,
say that Bryan, should he be elected
would be very likely to pursue the
Hawaiian Annexation proposition,
while Mckinley would be more apt to
follow in the footsteps of Harrison.
"President Cleveland's attitude to-
ward the islands is pretty generally
understood and should Mr.. Bryan's
policy be anything similar to his, Ha-
waii would be held back for another
four years at least. On the other
hand Mr.. Mckinley is said to favor the
idea of Hawaii coming into the Union.
81 have taken considerable interest
in this matter and | have no fears but
what the United States would never
have cause to regret any such move.
In fact, | am firm in the belief that II
would pay the United States to annex
Hawaii. The Islands are self-support-
ing and instead of becoming a burden
TO the greater Republic, they would
add a constantly increasing revenue
to that government. The annexation
of California in 1S49 proved to be ben
eficial to the Union and am confident
that such would be the case with Ha.
waii. The islands have become thor.
oughly AmericaniZed, and then again
there is now well established com,
merce between the western coast oi
the United States and the Hawaiian
Islands, and the great statesmen oi
America are not ignorant of this fact
or the benefits resulting from this rap
idly increasing trade. 1t would be Z
profitable investment for the United
States and the residents of the islands
would have in return an absolutely
stable government"

A Muncy girl played a telling joke upon her mother. She found il package of let ter5 that her father had written to her mother when they were only lovers. The daughter read several of these tender epistles to her mother substituting her own name in place of that of the latter. The maternal ancestor declared such stuff to be silly nonsense and coldly informed her daughter that she should permit no young man to address her in such loving terms. Then the girl revealed the joke, and she has no more obstacles laid in the path of her beaux.-Phila. Record.

 SaIutatory.
 A prospectus was issued on the first of the present week, stating that Il ncwspa- per bearing the name of Stafford News Letter, would he issued on the present Saturday. Here is the promised newspa- per. We ask the reader to examine h, and if he likes it to give us his name as subscriber.
 The circumstances under which the News Letter is published are probably wcIl-knOwn. We do not wish to disguise the fact, that it is made up of nearly inc same matter published in the Palmer Journal, printed at that office, but lHb-- H&hod at d branch office in Stafford. Tn" news from various parts Of the country is as interesting to the people of Stafford as to those of Palmer, and the publication of the same matter in both papers will be doing what is in fact done by newspapers all over the country every week.
 We shall give particular attention to the local news of Stafford and vicinity, HIS QeI)tElncnL WliI DH UIlUti Lnt ClldlB' of Mr, J. M. Tappan, Agent of the N. l.. w. X P. Railroad, who will also act as Agent for us in receiving Subscriptions, Advertising, Job Printing, &c. He is a gentleman of talent and enterprise, who will extend to the News Letter his best efforts. With this arrangement; we hope to establish Stafford newspaper which will not only prov" beneficial to the in habitants of this vicinity, but to our selves. Should the enterprise warrant the undertaking, we shall open q printing as well as publishing office in this town,
 The course of the News Letter will run parallel with that of the Palmer Journal. Its first object will be to furnish news | local and general it's second to accom- modate all who advertise; it's third to advocate what we believe to be the right kind of politics, though we shall be gen- erous enough to allow all parties a hear ing; it's fourth to benefit the public and make money for ourselves. Those who subscribe can rest asssured of the perma ] nency Of the Newe attcr as its oornar. tion with another paper renders it's publ cation q fixed fact.
