New York, April 3O.-The stock market was very tame affair again today. The volume of business was small and the limits. After steady opening the bears made a demonstration against the market but their raid brought out very little long stock and in the afternoon the early sellers turned buyers. The greatest contest was oyer Sugar, which was sold down to 1223s after the opening. When, the shorts at tempted to cover the stock rose rapidly to 123a4 and the supply on the. way up was dis appointingly small to the bears. American Tobacco rose from IFS to. 72M. reacted to veloped renewed strength, selling as high as 70ss and closing at 69A.

Cotton Letter.

New York, April 3O.-(SpeciaL)-Th sum- mer months had sharp rise today and MT. Inman said that it was not his doing. In fact, he is not buyer but openly sold sey- eral thousand bales. He attributed today's advance to the covering of the shorts, de- claring his belief that the short interest is still far larger than is generally supposed August opened at 7.S6, declined to 7.84, ad- vanced to 7.92 and closed at 7.90 bid, with the tone steady. The fall and winter months sympathized but only to a moderate extent, with the rise. The crop accounts are so good that the offerings of October, Novem- Der and December are quite liberal. May showed great strength today, advancing at one time to 7.95. The shorts in May seem likely to have to pay dearly for their cotton.

New York, April 3O.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton advanced 3 to points, closing steady with sales of 91,6OO bales.
 Today's features: The Liverpool news was more encouraging today, advices from that market reporting increased activity in spot cotton there and higher prices for flu lures. There was no pressure to sell here but on the other hand the buying was gen. eral Shorts covered freely and the promi- nent operator was again purchasing Spot markets in this country were firm and the receipts at the interior points were not ex- cessive. while the exports from the ports were larger. The trading was professional and the fluctuations were light. Commis- sion houses did very little business.

(Mountain Home, Talladega.)
 The press of Birmingham and all over Alabama speak in the highest terms of Dr. Dozier as physician, surgeon and gentleman, and we have no hesitancy in recommending him to those of our pa- irons who need his services.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-11-02

During the dedicatory exercises at
the Portuguese Church on Sunday was
witnessed an example of the liberality
of the Honolulu public, the men and
women who have money to give and
are quietly placing it where the great
est good will be accomplished. In
drawing up the final accounts it was
found that there yet remained some
81 800 to be paid on the expenses of
construction, etc. There was no heart
rending plea for aid, no overweight
enthusiasm displayed, but simply
statement that the church had yet
some debts that must be liquidated.
The result of the collection taken was
highly satisfactory to say the least.
Those present simply subscribed the
money, thus lifting the entire debt
from the church. And we venture the
assertion that many of those who con
tributed to this last fund were among
those whose names will be found
among the subscribers of the first
$4,000 What does this all show? In
the first place, that the church people
of Hawaii are generous; that their
purses are always open to the extern
sion of mission work. 1t shows that
the mission work in Hawaii is still
going on quite as effectively, quite as
vigorously as in the early days when
there was more of privation attending
the labors for the advancement of
Christianity. The Portuguese, as a
colony, are to be congratulated in
having secured such a beautiful house
of worship, and it is to be hoped that
what was started as a mission may
soon be in position, not only to
maintain itself, but form the head |
quarters for other missions to be start
ed in other portions of the Islands.

In summing up the American con-
tributions to civilization President
Eliot remarks upon the demonstration
by the United States that people be-
longing to great variety of races and
nations, are, under favorable circum-
stances, fit for political freedom. In
recounting the different nationalities,
he refers only to Europeans. The
United States has done not a little in
proving how the racial forces may be
amalgamated into a contented whole,
but the time will soon be when Hawaii
will come in for a share of the glory
of racial amalgamation. In this CUun-
try is slowly being worked out the
problem, whether the Oriental races
will assimilate in the customs and po-
litical life of the amalgamated Eur c.
pean races. All signs point TO the
proof that this assimilation can be
brought about successfully.

when prominent men drop of in the
midst of a successful career. Yet the
world wags on, another man is brought
to the front, and often it is not 'ong
before he rises above the standard CT
his predecessor. There is something
wonderfully cold-hlooded IN this
thought, but it is none the less true
TO life When Du Maurier died, the
loss to London Punch seemed for the
time being irreparable. No MAJ could
replace the great artist and author.
Possibly not in one sense. His exact
counterpart could not be found, yet
his death makes the way open for one
Phil May, the finest worker IN black
and white in London. He is q com
young man, who worked his
way up the ladder of fame and fortune
by depicting the life of the gamins of
the street. There is hardly : line of
in the work of Du Maurier
and his successor, but it will not be
many months before the world Will be
amused equally well by the new vim
Of pictorial humor.

ANNExArIoN CAMPAIGN.

The presence of numerous Eastern
Congressional leaders in the cities and
towns of the Western coast ought to
set the people of Hawaii to thinking
and finally making some move to get
some of these men TO extend their tTav-
els to the Islands of the Pacific. 1t is
now time for the annexation forces of
this country TO be getting together for
active, forceful work; it is time to
open our own campaign and go into it
with an enthusiasm second only to
the war of ballots that will take place
in the United States on Tuesday. For
the past two years annexation, while
constantly to the front and constantly
a matter of supreme interest in the
minds of the people of this country,
has not been doomed" particularly,
simply because there was absolutely no
hope for it's realization under the pres
ent American administration. The
only thing for the people to do was to
wait patiently until the American peo-
pie had placed a new leader in the
Presidential chair. All the enthusiasm
or fervor which might be worked up
on this side of the water could amount
to nothing when the Executive of the
United States was opposed to a closer
union than exists at the present time.
The day the campaign in the United
States closes the annexation campaign
in this country should open. Whether
Mckinley or Bryan is the man chosen,
whether the Republicans or Democrats
are victorious in the Congressional and
Senatorial contest, the plans for bring
ing the Hawaiian question forward as
a live and important issue shO1ld be-
gin to take shape, not alone with the
Government, but among the business
men, among the supporters of closer
political union in every walk of life.
We must not lose time in announcing
TO the American people that Hawaii is
still at the door of the United States
and her plea for admission to the union
is no mean war cry Matched up for the
occasion.
Already Hawaii has warm friends in
Congress on both sides of the house;
in fact, the division on Hawaiian an
nexation is not on party lines. At the
same time, comparatively few of these
men have been to the country to see
it as it is. Our Congressional visitors
have not been so numerous that the !
country would not profit by having a
few more If it is worth while for the |
Republican Campaign Committee to !
send such men as Boutelle. Reed and |
other prominent leaders to the West
ern coast, it is certainly a good polit-
ical proposition for the annexationists
of Hawaii to prevail upon such men as
these TO continue their journey to this
country 1t will cost money. but the
individual who considers for moment
that annexation will be accomplished
without the expenditure of good gold
coin is wonderfully ignorant of the po
litical life of the present generation.
Every campaign, whatever its nature,
calls for no stint of funds, and to a
great extent the anneXationists must
carry on the campaign of education
1t is time for the annexationists to or
ganize. Nothing can now be gained by
waiting.

1t is said that the prices of silver and
wheat always keep company, but dur
ing the latter part of this year, 1896,
wheat at $3.50 has gone off on a de-
cidedly apparent tangent. Possibly
this is the exception that proves the
rule, but none of the political orators
have succeeded in proving it.
