Yes, 1 heartily indorse the nomination
of Bryan and Sewall and shall do all
can to secure their election
Not within my recollection has any
man been nominated for president who
possessed so many good qualities to
commend him to the people as Mr..
Bryan. He is a statesman of the Jeffer-
sonian school, an orator the equal OF
Yancey, with a purity of character and
life, and devotion to the rights and
liberties of the people equal to the i'm
mortal Calhoun.
The platform is in accord with the can
ddate and is the fullest, clearest state
ment of democratic principles that has
ever been written since the famous Ken
lucky and Virginia resolutions of 1889.
The democratic party has always stood
for the rights of the states and the lib
critics of the people, and has unrelenting-
ly fought the aggressions of the mon
archial-favore class parties that have
in succession existed in this country.
It's first great battle was won when 1t
struck down the alien and sedition laws,
passed under the Elder Adams lead, and
this was done, as shown in the Kentucky
and Virginia resolutions, by nrm ad-
herence to the constitutional guaranty
of trial by jury. What would Jefferson
think of the democracy of a man who de-
nounces the Chicago platform as being
undemocratic because it demands trial
by jury rather than by judge in con-
tempt proceedings.
Very early in the life of this govern
ment the supreme court of the United
States, in the famous Dartmouth college
case decided that the legislature of a
state could not altar or amend or annul
the charter of a private corporation
without its consent. This doctrine was
seen to be very dangerous to the liberties
of the people, and the democratic party
declared:
I'VE hold that each and every law or
act of Incorporation passed by preceding
legislatures can be rightfully altered and
repealed by their successors, and that
they should be altered or repealed when
required by a majority of the people,
As the direct result of this democratic
criticism and convention, nearly every
state constitution since adopted express
ly retains and preserves in the legisla-
ture the power to annul or amend the
charter of private corporations.
The democratic party has always con-
tended, in the language of the Ken
lucky resolutions, 1898, that whatsoever
the general government assumes undele-
gated power it's acts are unauthoritative,
void and Of no force.
When we turn the constitution of the
general government we find: THE Unit
ed States shall protect each OF
them against invasion, and on applica-
ton of the legislature, or of the executive
(when the legislature cannot be conven-
ed against domestic violency." Yet be-
cause the Chicago platform declares
against arbitrary federal interference in
local affairs it is charged as being I'M
democratic.
Had you the space to admit of 1t
could easily, by the record and unques-
toned history of the democratic party,
show undoubted authority for every
proposition announced in the Chicago
platform

Tx MARVEL. -

Those who have read the delightful
ok MarvelD will indeed be inter
ested in the description of the mans
life and character given in the August
number of Demorest's Magazine. 1t is
not with surprise that the reader learns
that Mitchell is a man who shuns the
professional interviewer and finds his
greatest happiness in the seclusion of
his quiet country home. To a lady who
sought an interview he replied:
IF you had asked permission to come
into the EdgwOod garden and pluck at
your will the ripe raspberries (Which
are now luscious and abundanD l would
have given you neighborly courtesy,
and my heartiest permission. Buff
you come with notebook and pencil to
piece out page of those personalities
with which so many journals are now
drearily full can give you only scant-
est welcome"
a few years ago an attempt was made
to secure him for a course of lectures in
New Haven. This resulted in an ok
Marvel fad in the reading clubs of
fashionable society; but the author has
no love for society" and finally with
drew giving as his reason the difficulty
he found in facing an audience. In a
typical American home, surrounded by
his books, his garden and coterie of
plain but honest friends, elk Marvel
is satisfied to pass the remainder of
his days and allow the outside world
to wag along according to it's own sweet
will. The writer who has ventured to
break in upon the barriers of his quiet
home speaks of him in the following
tiers: aside from his love of outdoor
life and his writings, Mr.. Mitchell is
unshackled by any peculiar fads and
fancies. He takes life quietly and east
ly, the bitter with the sweet. His books
are an index to his character, refined
and cultivated, with no sensational par
agraphs, but with clean, sweet taste
left as a memory to the student of both
them and himself"

Agriculture. 1t is true that if the tour
ist stays in the country long enough he
viii find out what the country pro-
duces. Arguing from the same stand
point, if man lived long enough and
travelled from one end of the world to
another there would be no use for mu-
seums or any institution of the kind.
Certain it is that a permanent agri-
cultural exhibit could be maintained
that would not only be credit to the
progressive spirit of the country, but
would also serve as neuclus that
would lead TO wider interest in scien-
tific investigation and a better appre-
citation of the value of science as applied
TO our industries.

An American writer estimates the
cost of making a President" in the
United States from eight to ten mill
lions of dollars. He includes in this the
losses entailed by the check in bust
ness that always follows the uncertain
ty of a Presidential campaign. But
even the amount of money expended
by national committees is something
enormous, and demonstrates that the
American leaders are willing to spend
a good sum of money in the education
of the political mind. In 1880 the Re-
publican national committee received
subscriptions amounting to $450,000.
In the following Presidential campaign
the chairman of the committee made
good a deficiency of 100000 from his
own pocket-book. During the last
Decentralization campaign chair
man Carter had $1,OOO,OOO placed at his
disposal for campaign purposes. This
was the largest sum ever raised by a
national committee. In 1888 one DEM
ocratic leader contributed $25O,000, and
at the close of the campaign Calvin S.
Brice made good a deficiency of $780,
OOO Even these figures do not repre-
sent the total amount of money spent,
since every town, city, county and State
has its own party committees that put
out as much if not more gold coin.
There is one redeeming feature how
ever. The amount of money contribut-
ed is no index of the verdict of the
voters. Chairman Carter with his mil
lion dollar contribution could not push
back the wave that swept Grover Cleve-
land and his party into power.

One of our evening contemporaries
has from time TO time called the atten-
ton Of the Board of Health TO the con-
dition of the Halawa cemetery, where
the victims of last years cholera
scourge are buried. Although realizing
the duty of the Board in this matter, we
have kept in the background in order
TO allow our friends TO claim all the
glory which might accrue through their
efforts. But as the efforts seem to have
resulted in little or nothing being done,
we are inclined to render helping
hand. At present the Halawa cemetery
is overgrown with weeds, and gFue-
some mounds and small wooden stakes
alone mark the burial place of those
who were cut down by the plague. The
spirit that prompts men to hope for
something to be done to relieve the
desolation of the spot may be purely
sentimental, yet it is sentiment that
has a strong hold on the hearts of civil
lied humanity.

THAT AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT

1t is really almost gratifying TO note
that the only paper that has taken up
the cudgel against proper exhibition
of Island products starts in by suggest
ing that it's ideas are of the silurian and
antedeluvian order. There is nothing
like a papers knowing to what age it
belongs.
Everything that has been said against
the exhibit scheme thus far has simply
been a rehssh of old fashioned argu-
ments. usually used by a class who
are drag on the progress Of any COM
munity. 1t is the cant do it, story
over again, and simply a plea to pre-
serve the old ruts in which the advertis-
ing department of this country has run
for years. Acting on the same prin-
ciple. the citizens of this country sit
quietly by and trust to luck that tour
lists are bound to come this way with
out the least urging. The same spirit
of ''let we'll enough alone" has kept
the Government experiment station in
allowance for years. The same disease
seems to have struck the Labor Com
mission, and even, until very recently,
the sanitary conditions of Honolulu
have been treated in the same indiffer-
ent and lackadaisical manner. Probably
our esteemed contemporary will contest
that our comparisons are far fetched.
Possibly they will not dOvetail in each
and every particular, yet the general
manner in which some of our people
clog the wheels of progress by limo
Gently trusting that all problems will
be settled without the necessity of ex-
ira exertion or enterprise is quite re-
markable.
In the efforts to set forth the char
acter of its agricultural products, Ha-
waii is today far behind the agricultural
communities of the Western Coast, and
we doubt if it equals even the province
of New Brunswick on the Eastern
Coast. And yet this country could far
outstrip any district of its size and
population in Canada or the United
States if the people could gain a little
enthusiasm in consequence of the in
itiative being taken by the Bureau of
