TRUE THANKSGIVING.

anglican Church Chronicle.)
We have noticed with great regret
the decadence of the enthusiasm for
Thanksgiving Day which used TO pre-
vail up to the last few years. 1t was
singular that while the Hawaiian
Islands were comparatively poor, pub
lie thanksgivings were freely offered,
but they began to decline as soon as
riches began to accumulate. 1t is to
be hoped that things may take a turn
this year, for the past has been one of
great mercy and blessing to all of us
in these quiet islands. While wars
have been raging abroad Hawaii has
been at peace; not person in the land
who goes to bed hungry or rises in the
morning without meal provided for
him. To say that Thanksgiving to
God can be rendered without public
worship is simply will-worship and
contrary to all that is obedience to
the will and commandment of Cod

Much of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there because
it is cheaper,
Twenty-Five per cent duty
is a great deal too much to
pay and it tempts people to
make purchases while they
are where they may buy it
cheaper. There is nothing
criminal in the transaction,
just a bit of practical econ
omy. There would have been
no necessity for these buyers
to go abroad, if dealers were
willing to divide with their
customers. The profit is large
enough on solid ware to cut
off the twenty-five per cent.
and sell it at a margin salts
factory to every one. People
do not buy when they are
abroad because they can get
better goods, but because
they can get it cheaper.
The selections made by us
are from three Of the largest
factories in the States. We
buy for cash and get the ar
ticles cheap and will sell them
at twenty-five per cent, or
exactly the same as is charged
in San Francisco.
We have child's sets at S6.75
and full tea sets for great
deal more; the quality has
never been surpassed in this
country and the prices have
never been equalled.

The necessity for urging the widen
ing of streets and the improvement of
city thoroughfares appears to have al
most entirely subsidized for the present.
Under the direction of Capt. King
Minister of the Interior, an astonish-
ingly immense amount of good work
is being carried on with the utmost
dispatch. The only suggestion to be
made at this time is that Nuuanu ave-
nue. above Hotel street is really in as
much need of being widened as Fort
street.

Following the custom established
last year The Star will on the ap-
preaching Thanksgiving day dine its
newsboys. The little fellows have
been wondering for some time about
the affair and are delighted with the
assurance of second regular feast.
They have been as tireless in their eff
forts for the paper as the general pub
lie has been kindly and it is a pleasure
to be able to treat them. To many of
the youngsters it is the one great
event of the year.

The very evident fact of the bunch
increase of the japanese population
cannot be ignored by anyone here 1t
is announced in purely business way
that labor of this class may be had
without limit. That is all very well
for the demands of enterprises of the
land, but may it not be well to look
ahead bit. The danger of having too
large proportion of one kind of
labor has long been recognized. Be
sides, much of the labor, especially
Japanese, must eventually become cit
izenship. 1t should be about time
that the loaf be leavened.

Much territory for summer or per-

1t is a trife odd that this commune

tions and constitutional tangles off

positive advices as to the result of the

Some of the seers and prophets of the
days of 1898 should come to the front

have, make it perfectly clean and dry,

Paint over the leaky spots; then take
piece of stout Manila paper, or piece

both sides; lay it over the first coat, CIV

The guessing contest on the mission
of Hon. John w. Foster to Hawaii
continues merrily in many quarters.
Meantime the distinguished traveller is
seeing everything thoroughly and es-
timating carefully the worth of the
country that he desired in 1898 should
become part of the United States.
AS eX-Secretary Foster is a profession
al advisor he is probably IN a position
to better give hints than receive coun-
sci. The Star only hopes that he
finds no disappointments here. He
cannot fail to observe that this is a

1t is suggested that what some peo-
pie want is sleep holidays. They do
not need to go to watering places and
summer hotels and to be entertained
by round of gaiety, with a band al
ways playing. There may be some
thing in the contention, says a med
ical journal, that a greater amount of
sleep is required by people nowadays
especially brain worlSers--than was
formerly the case. Nicola Tesla, the
electrician, is credited with saying
that he believes man might live 200
years if he would sleep most of the
time. That is why negroes often live
to advanced old age-because they
sleep so much. He also alluded to the
current report that Mr.. Gladstone now
sleeps seventeen hours every day.

They Decide Not to Apply For Adj
mission.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The contesting
delegation from Texas, representing
the gold contingent from that state, de-
cided by a full vote this morning not
to apply for admission to the conven-
ton.
The delegation issued the following
address;
To all true Democrats who are dee
gates to the national convention:
Undersigned are here as delegates
from the state of Texas, duly author
lied and empowered to represent the
sound money element Of the Denoc-
racy of that state, by a representative
state convention called and held in
accordance with party usage. we are
not here for the purpose CT waging a
contest before the convention as to our
rights TO seats in that body, for candor
compels US to say that under the exist
ing conditions we would not accept adj
mission into the convention. We are
here to contribute as best we may to
the preservation and advancement of
true Democratic principles, the perpet-
uation of the party's existence and the
upholding of the honor and credit of
our common country. We desire to
say further that the question of free
and unlimited coinage of silver by this
has already passed beyond the do
main of argument and our Democratic
brethren of the United States may pre-
pare themselves for the adoption by
the convention of the most extreme
views upon this question.
Upon this assumption. which we
know to be correct, we suggest, it is
the duty of the Democrats at this
crisis to take measures for the preser-
walton of the party and its principles.
Acquiescence in the heresies about to
be brought upon the party can only
promote its destruction. If we would
preserve it. we must come out from
among those who have wandered off
after strange gods. and who even have
forgotten the moral law, in their insane
eagerness to reach out and grasp an
unsubstantial mirage. whose fanciful
promises. If carried into effect, must
lead to the disgrace of the nation and
the utter destruction of the material
interests thereof
We suggest that the representative
of the honest Democracy here assem-
bed from several states take imrne-
date action Il oking to the preservation
of our party from inevitable destruc-
ton now imminent in order that its
glorious principles may still live and
continue to bless the people of these
United States. The exigencies of the
admit neither Of delay nor of
fruitless efforts for a compromise. If
we would preserve the party from de-
struction, we must act now. unmind
ful of personal consequences and re-
gardless of aught save devotion to
party existence. and Unselfish fealty to
party principles

be fastened by an actua4 bolt from the
convention. Some gold men would pre-
fer that no candidate be put up, so
they could remain within the organiza-
ton and vote against the ticket named
by the silver men. This course is pre-
ferred by the western men, who ceel
that the silver organization will be
very strong in their states and that

the future. Many eastern men do not

CHICAGO, July 6.-Delegate Harry
E. Wise is authority for the statement
that the California delegation is about
equally divided between gold and sill
yer, although the delegates were in
s-rUcted for silver and are subject to
the unit rule. Mr.. Wise said today
The gold men will not submit to the
dictation of Altgeld and his followers
and will disregard the unit rule and
vote as they please if they find it
necessary
The delegation is very much split
UP as regards presidential preference,
but will support Senator White if he
will allow the use of his name. Califor-
mia is hopeful that Senator White,
who will represent the state on the
resolutions committee, will be selected
for chairman of that committee and
the delegates are doing much mission
airy work with that end in view. At

that they had defeated the silver men s
plans for a caucus to settle a platform,
candidates and the length of the con-
ven.ion.

bolt He said:
You may deny that emphatically. I
am not in favor of a bolt 1 do not
want bolt, and L shall urge that no
such action be taken. We are Demo-
Gratis. 1 have not heard of the alleged
overtures of the Boies people to the
gold men, but it is not impossible, and
there may be such breaks when the
silver men find out the arbitrary way
in which the leaders will try to dispose
of their bOOmS ."

Democratic party. The Popuiists
through their leaders. say that al
though they are willing to make silver
the issue this year. they are not willing
to abandon the other principles of their
party, and hence must make a nornirl-
alton of their own until this candidate
can be agreed upon. Democrats can
not expect that the great mass of their
political opponents will in one leap
enter into their party.
The Democratic party has not enough
votes to win at this election without
the Populists and silver Republicans,
and it is unquestionably to the interest
of the silver cause to agree upon a man
that ali the silver forces will support.

Kansas is in Line.

CHICAGO, July 6.-The meeting of
the Kansas delegation was long and
strong. All of the delegates, it was
developed. we're personally in favor of
Bland but a faction of them made a
vigorous protest against the methods
by which the attempt to secure in
structions for him were carried on.
Senator John Martin, the chairman of
the delegation, and. David Overmeyer.
were managing the Bland interests and
offered a resolution that the delegation
poll its vote for Bland. National Com
mitteeman j. T. Johnson led the oppo-
sition. He protested that Martin and
Overmeyer had arranged with the
Bland managers to reap all the politi-
cal benefits accruing from the transac-
ton. AS parliamentary move, Mr.
OVermeyer offered a substitute that
the delegation vote for Bryan.
Atterward this resolution was with
drawn. When the Bland resolution was
brought to vote II was voted for by
all the twenty delegates.
