Thomas c. Plat, in the opening
speech of the Republican campaign,
sized up the victory of his party on the
following schedule: THE thirty-six
votes of New York protest that we shall
win. The thirty-two votes of Pennsyl-
yania. the ten of New Jersey, the TWEEN
ty-three of Ohio the twenty-four OF
Illinois. the thirteen of Iowa, the ten of
Kansas, the fourteen Of Michigan, the
nine Of Minnesota, the twelve of Wis
consin, the eight of Nebraska, all sure
Republican States, give assurance that
we shall win" Mr.. Plat will doubtless
realize on his predictions for the East
ern States, but when he goes into the
Western States of Kansas and Neb-
raska he is treading on decidedly doubt
full ground.

popular mind, has proved a dismal fail
power and the party Is forced into a
new campaign issue that will make the
old line Democrat squirm and give him
an inclination to lean toward the Re
publican principles. The Democracy is
coming closer to the line of socialism
the socialism of Governor Altgeld-
than it has ever dared to tread in pre-
yious years.
AS to the Presidential candidates, It
is still an open race, with Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson holding as good pros
poets as any man in his party. He has
played second fiddle in gold admins
tration, but has kept quiet, and would
undoubtedly be acceptable to fair ma
jority of the silver faction. He has
straddled the issue with sufficient
celebrity to make him a good figurehead
and possible consolation candidate
1t is not at all probable that Senator
Teller and the other Republican boilers
will be received by the Democrats
Whitney of New York sees trouble
ahead and withdraws gracefully, and
Russell OF Massachusetts is in the same
category. That there will be boilers in
the Democratic convention is not prob
able. but it is foregone conclusion
that there will be cold-blooded slash
ing of party lines at the polls

THE FOURTH OF JULY


The forthcoming celebration of the
Fourth of July will be one Of the most
elaborate that has ever been held in
this country The. unanimity and en-
thusiasm with which the people Of the
city have entered into the different
events mapped out for the proper recog-
milton of the natal day of this Island
Republic is certainly gratifying to those
who have struggled for the mainte-
nance of true principles of democracy
in this land of many nations. The va
rious committees have during the past
few weeks experienced some difficulty
in drawing the lines consequent to the
celebration of the two independent ma
tions falling on the same day, yet when
the celebration is viewed in the. broader
light, when the people stop to think
what all this display and red fire is
for, they must certainly realize that
it is eminently fitting that Hawaii
should honor Independence Day of all
other days of the year.
The Fourth of July has come to be
recognized as mile stone marking the
beginning of an era in the progress of
civilization. 1t marks the recognition
Of the principle that all men are created
free and equal-the true principle of
democracy. On the Fourth of July the
colonists of America made declaration
of their right to govern themselves, and
every year that passes by finds the
principles represented in that declara-
way into the hearts of the people of
every nation on the globe. AS the old
feudal system gave way to monarchial
rule, so :he monarchies are falling be-
fore the advancing power of democracy
With the Republic of Hawaii this third
anniversary finds us still in the line
of progress and daily becoming
stronger and more united nation. In
the history of a nation three years is
but day. 1t would be chimerical in
deed to predict or expect that all minds
should be convinced of the advantages
of republican government. that all
citizens should recognize the blessings
of a government in which accident of
birth plays no part. All mankind is
born with streak of sentiment in his
makeup and is not to be condemned
for holding to ideas that are the result
of sentiment rather than conviction.
Honest government, however, the prop
er recognition of personal and property
rights is the balm that heals the politi
cal sores that must follow every adj
vance and every reform. This has been
the solidifying agent of the Hawaiian
Republic. The principle of justice has
been the beacon light that has guided
the ship of state.

CONSUL MILLS STATEMENT.
Transmit Details of Miss Fields
Death to State Department..

Death to State Department.
Consul General Mills at Honolulu has
made a report to the State Department
in regard to the death of Miss Kate
Field, at Honolulu May 10 last, says
the Washington Star of recent date.
He says that early in the afternoon of
that day he received a message from
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co.
that Miss Field was dying at their
wharf. He reached there in a few
minutes and found Miss Field on board
the steamer w. G. Hall, which had just
arrived from the other islands of the
Hawaiian group. She was unconscious
and had been in that condition since
morning. Mr.. Mills communicated with
the U. S. S. Adams and detail of men
with a stretcher promptly responded
and the dying woman was carried to
the house of DR.. John S. McGrew,
where she expired in abOunt half an
hour. The cause of death was pneu-
monia. The body of Miss Field was
embalmed and the following day was
placed in a vault.
MI. Mills Sdy lie Has
by mail with Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat of the
Chicago Times-Herald and requested
advice from him as to the disposition
to be made of the remains and effects
of the deceased. He took this action
because. he understood that DR.. Kohl
saat is her nearest friend or relative.
He says he has taken charge of what
effects she had at Honolulu, and that
he will send an inventory of the same
when he can get them together. 1t is
said she left some baggage at Hilo,
Hawaii.
The consul general incloses letter
from Dr. Vanderpool Adriance of the
yacht Cornet, who was a passenger on
the w. G. Hall with Miss Field. DR..
Adriance says that the lady came
aboard the steamer at Kealakekua bay.
''She was very sick, he says, "and was

DEMOCRATS WATERING.

The political puzzle which the Pres
idential campaign of the United States
will present this year is a most inter
esting one. In fact, it may vel. be class
ed as the most difficult to solve of any
that has been presented since the war
At present the center of attraction is
the Democratic convention at Chicago.
In this convention the free silver forces
squarely face to face, and all signs
point to victory for the silver wing
and possible division of the party
which will finally lead to its dissolu-
ton or an amalgamation with the Pop
ulists, or a new party with somewhat
similar financial views.
The fight of the gold or sound money
faction in the State conventions gives
promise that there will not be a dispo-
sition to give and take on the part of
either wing. With Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois sending free silver delegations.

with the bloody AK in his hand. The

Killed BY . Powder Explosion Near Aenas
Ark4nSaS.


Arkansas.
MENA, Ark, Oct. 17.-Last evening
about o'clock, at the camp OF w. d.
Kennedy, about fourteen miles south
of Mena, occurred a most disastrous
explosion. The men were working IN
loose rock, but they were compelled to
blast in order to handle it to advan-
tage. The main blast was the one they
were working on. They had difficulty
in getting it planted right and while
using a steel drill, the drill struck
a stone and a spark from it ig-
nited the powder. which caused an ex-
plosion which threw dirt, rocks and
men as far as 100 yards. The killed
are: Dennis Murphy, foreman of the
powder gang: J. Ryan, j. P. Limon,
Jack Mcdonald, Pat Lacey, helpers; L,
O. Norris, water boy.
w. II. Kennedy, the contractor, was
standing close b. and was found be-
tween two dead men, more dead than
alive. He had two ribs and collar
bone broken. Some of the men were
buried SO deep under rock and dirt that
they were not found until this morn
ing. Mr.. Kennedy is in a very serious
condition. ALI who were present were
either killed or hurt so badly they can
not talk, consequently details are hard
to get.

yesterday at his home at Englewood,

shooting was unintentiOnal. Mr.. Lee

TO the friends who called to express
sympathy Mrs. Lenau said: st was

Walter ate hearty dinner and then
spoke of cleaning his revolver. He
took it from bureau drawer, examin-

so rusty. Then he began to take it
apart. I noticed the muzzle was
pointed toward his body. I said,

STRANGE BANK IN NORWAY.

One Of the Most Iadspendent Financial
Institations In the world
From the New York Journal: The
most Independent and aristocratic bank
in the world ia the Norges. or Ma
tional bank Of Norway. Socially the
bank is Of considerable Importance.
The directors meet twice q week and
these friendly gatherings are said to
be most enjoyable affairs. Loans and
discounts form the chief subjects Of
conversation. No loan or discount can
be made without the approval of
three OF the directors. The directors
are to hold a meeting one day and you
want to borrow 81 900 on Monday. You
apply to Norges bank and are told that
the matter will be taken under con-
sideration at the directors meeting on
Wednesday, and you may look for an
answer to your application on Thurs
day. It does not matter In the least
that you want the $1,000 Monday. and
not Thursday: you simply have to wait.
The origin of this institution IL as Pc
culiar a. its management is unusual.
S0On 8xlCI tu0 0OA0Au01 OuAO0 Va XNOA-
way and Sweden, in 1914, the latter
country began to feel the need Of
greater money facilities to meet the
demands Of the rapidly increasing COM
merce. The problem of securing the
necessary capital for great national
institution was q very simple one for
the Norwegian government. 1t raised
stockholders for the bank Just as It
raised soldiers for it's armies. Every
well-to-do citizen was compelled to
take so much stock. He was always
at liberty to take more II he chose,
but always in amounts divisible by
five. This national bank Is also a ma
tional pawnshop. It is authorized by
law to lend money on any non-perish-
able goods. provided they can be de-
posted in the bank and kept under
lock and key. For this service it
charges rather less than the usual
pawnbroker's interest. which may. per-
haps, account for the rarity Of private
pawnshops In Norway.
