Atlanta, Aug. 7.-Thomas L. Watson
opened his vice presidential campaign
last night with an address two hours
In length, delivered before an audience
OF 5000 people, in the rough shed erected
for the Moody revival meetings several
months ago. Mr.. Watson appeared at
the outset for a non-partisan hearing,
declaring that he spoke in behalf OF the
men who held the plow. who pulled the
hoe, who welded the hammer. IL God
gave him strength. he declared, he would
plead the cause of these people through
the pens OF the reporters present, be-
fore 65, 600, 900 people. He entered into
an enumeration OF the reform demands
of the Populist party, indicting the gov
ernment for high crimes and misde-
meanors I'm the granting OF the govern
mental power OF making money 10 a
special class; In the unfair levying OF
taxes, which laid the heavy hand OF
tribute upon those least able to sustain
1t; in closing the mints to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver; in leaving
the great public highways Of the coun-
try i'm the control Of grasping corpora
tions, who levied tribute upon the peo-
pie who were compelled TO use them.
and I'm the corruption OF the ballot. Mr..
Watson said, among other things:
I'VE are not going 20 put up any can
Gldate against Bryan. We are going to
vote for Bryan, whether Sewall is with
drawn or not. I'm going to manage this
campaign so that William j. Bryan gets
every vote we've got. / see the dread
evils OF McKinleyism threatening. and
1 fear that IL we are defeated in this
fight, Mckinleyism Will be enthroned
forever, and the battle for freedom
had just as well be given up. l shall tell
my people to stand by the contract made
at ST. Louis. Let Bryan have every vote
you can muster. Let Jones say what he
likes. Let him insult us if~le Will Make
no answer. Pray for your country. Work
for her interests. DO your duty. Here's
what we're going to do in our state con-
vention:
Were going to put out a full electoral
ticket for Bryan and Watson. We can't
vote for Sewall. Then Wen empower
our committee TO take off a part OF our
electors and put on part Of yours.
whenever the Democratic committee re-
tires Mr. Sewall. The Democratic man
ayers may have made up their minds
to put Tom Watson down and keep him
down, but j thank God the people OF tho
south have entered into no such con-
tract. Let IL be known henceforth that
the south and west Will never again sit
as the footstool OF the north"

Fusion In Nebraska.

Hastings, Neb., Aug. THE Populist
state convention finished its labors, and
adjourned sine die yesterday, after hav-
ing been In session all night. The con-
Sention was almost entirely dominated
by the Middle of the Road" delegates,
and they very nearly overturned all the
carefully laid plans for fusion with the
silver Democrats. j. G. Smythe. chair
man Of the Democratic state central
committee, was on the ground, with
proposition that the two places on the
PCpulist ticket be left vacant. A con-
ference resulted in failure 10 agree and
partial report was made TO the conven-
ton, stating that the Democrats de-
manded the treasurer and the attorney
general The proposition evoked de-
bate which dragged along without result
until Chairman Smythe broke off all
negotiations, by Withdrawing the re-
quest for two places on the state ticket
This had a pacific effect on the radical
element In the convention. for after
nominating nearly the entire ticket a
motion TO leave the attorney general
ship vacant was carried.

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Day ought to be
universally and well observed this
year. 1t has been year of un-
usual prosperity to the industries
of the country. Profound peace
has been enjoyed in Hawaii. Not
only has there been no pestilence,
but month after month affords a
record Of mortality, in the capital,
smaller than the corresponding
month in many previous years.
Formerly, when it was only
the thanksgiving of the United
S ates that was observed, but
comparatively few of the people
gave up business and labor to join
in its observance. Now that the
institution is made a Hawaiian
one, there should be general
closing up of mart and workshop,
and the whole day be devoted to
joyous manifestations OF graft
tudo to heaven for the benefits the
year has brought forth.

of cable to this country was
once more relegatod to the realm
of oft deferred hope that makes
the Hawaiian heart in especial
sick. There is no reason to expect
any better result from further
dealings with mere franchise
brokers. Let the Government
publish to the world the most fav-
orable terms it will give to any
company that is prepared to de.
post substantial security for the
laying of cable within definite
period. Make any applicants for
a franchise put up bonds of good

SOMETHING TO INVESTI-
GATE.

From certain parts of the island
of Hawaii reports come of inJus-
tice, in some cases amounting to
outrage, being committed fire.
quently against the Chinese and
japanese inhabitants. 1t is said
further that public officials con-
nive at, where they do not actively
aid in. such acts of wrong and
oppression. The imposition of
vexatious and unlawful conditions
upon licensed Chinese traders
and purveyors is mentioned as
one common means of annoyance.
Another, not unknown in Homo
lulu, is the putting up Of jobs to
secure the conviction of Asiatic
traders and laborers for gambling
and illicit dealing in opium or
liquor Some people who are
aware of these things are appre-
hensive that the japanese in par
ticuar may one day adopt dis
astrous reprisals in self defense,
from which innocent settlers
might suffer as we'll as the agents
of the wrongs stated. This is a
matter that the Government should
strictly investigate. Minister Da-
mon deserves the credit of the
policy of having heads, or deputy
heads, of bureaus pay periodical
visits to the country districts of
the group, to see that the public
Services are being well and faith
fully performed. 1t is to be fear
ed, however, that in many cases
the official visits in pursuance of
that policy are too much of a
flying" nature, and that in con.
sequence the inspection of local
situations is but superficial.
Through the Hilo press of
late complaining suggestions have
come of the offensive activity of
spies i'll that district. The Gov
eminent would serve the public
interests better by replacing its
obnoxious system of espionage
with thorough and open inspec-
ton of every branch of public SER
vice, and aboveboard investiga-
ton of any manifestations of seri-
Gus disaffection which might ex-
list Upon the facts and inner
view of things thus gained,
let remedy, redress or check be
promptly and firmly applied ac.
cording to whatever separate cases
might require.

THE CABLE FRANCHISE.

Less than two months, it is un-
d,rstood. remains of the term or
M. Spalding's exclusive cable
franchise. At its termination the
hands of this country will be once
more free for a businesslike me-
thod of securing the desired boon
Of telegraphic communication with
the outside world. 1t is incredi-
BILE to suppose that the Govern
ment, having once got out of that
trap into which it was deluded, will
again nibble at the bait offered by
any Spectator or set OF speculu
tors. When Mr.Spalding's offer was
propounded, the BULLETIN pre-
dicted that it would only have the
effect Of deferring any practical
scheme OF cable construction for
the term OF the exclusive fran
chise. This prediction has been
fulfilled. Cable prospects are to-
day deeper in the haze of uncer-
tainty than the day when Mr..
Spalding sailed away with the
franchise in his pocket. No
sooner had that gentleman orga-
nized a syndicate to manipulate the
charter, aud ostensibly to seek
United States legislation upon it,
than another syndicate just as
powerful to all practical intents
was formed-not to lay a cable,
however, but to fight for the val
liable franchise that Hawaii had
been foolish enough to grant.
The consequence was that it was
impossible to obtain the necessary
counterpart of Hawaiian legisla
ton in the Congress of the

WV. DIMOND,S

Much Of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there because
it is cheap.
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 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 $6.75 and full
tea sets for a great deal more;
the quality has never been
surpassed in this country and
the prices have never been
equalled.
