There can be no doubt as
to the opinion of Major Nc
Kinley on the money question.
He is committed in every
form, every speech and other
wise to the Republican policy
of maintaining the present
gold coin of the United States

A SUGGESTION.

A great deal of valuable time and
language can be saved if the old parties
will abreviate their platforms this

REPUBLICAN.
First Plank-More bond sales and
bigger ones. Second Plank-We
promise to obey the money power i'm,
plicitly.
DEMOCRATIC.
First Plank-Bigger bond sales ard
more of them. Second Plank-We
promise to implicitly obey the money
power.

nifed position you have taken in the
political issues nov confronting the
people, and if all of our public journals
were il huenced by the honest desires

political advisors are q blessing we are
certainly abundantiy informed, for the
great majority of office holders and
Office seekers are busIly engaged in
forcing their particular opinions upon
the dear voters, and the dear voters
entertain the opinion that many of
them are not qualified for the duties
they have assumed. 1t is certainly
gratifying to the good people of North
Carolina to see what rapid growth and

three years. at the present rate

that one OF them are personally inter

The next morning went to Simon at
his lodgehouse, having writ him note
overnight to prepare him for my visit,
and there l found him, with all his
books and papers ready for my examina-
ton. So to it we set, casting up figures,
comparing accounts and SO forth the
best part of the day, and in the end l
came away convinced that he was the
most scrupulous, honest steward ever
man had. And truly it appeared that by
his prudent investments and careful
management he had trebled the value of
the estate and more in the last ten years.
He, showed me also that in all his valu-
ations he had set off a large sum for loss
by accident of fire, wear, etc, so that
actually at the present moment the es-
tate, which he reckoned at $3.50
pounds, was worth at the least el25,

The Company known through
out the world as the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CD

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup Of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as a medi-
cinal agent, and Of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale OF
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling a laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant TO the taste, and healthiul
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
| from an excellent combination of
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and to act most beneficially.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may he commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need OF laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of

Electric
Com pany.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago "A prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have complete stock Of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

SOUSA,S DISCIPLINE.

General Soho fields Funny Break as to
the Conduct of an Orchestra
How Conductor Sousa was taken to
task by General Schofield for his lack Of
discipline is told by the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The last echo of one Of Sousa's over
lures was just dying away over the sand
hills south of the fair grounds when
General Schofield stepped in front of
the band and saluted the distinguished
leader Sousa returned the salute and
sent one of his men to escort the general
up into the band stand.
THAT music was beautiful-beauti-
full, " exclaimed the general as he shook
Sousa's hand warmly 81 am astonish-
ed, sir, that You get such results with
so little discipline.
There is nothing that Sousa prides
himself more on than being one of the
strictest Of disciplinarians, and he was
naturally nettled at the generals criti-
| cism.
"Why, general, my men are under
perfect control. I'm sure they are thor
oughly drilled, and / can hardly believe
that there is any lack of discipline. l
have never noticed it"
'No, that's just it; you don see it, "
persisted the general 81 saw it, though.
Do you know that as soon as you turn
your back on one side of your band to
shake your baton at the other those fell
lows all quit playing? OF course you
don't see it, for as soon as you turn
around they begin again."
The fun in this, at the expense of the
general, lies, Of course, in the fact that
when a section of Sousa's men became
silent as he turned to the other was
when the music so required. But the
general looked upon this lapse as he
would upon the suspension of section
of his artillery when he turned his at
tention to another part Of the field.
