The policy of improving the great water

national character of those waterways
and the enormous tonnage borne upon
them. Experience has demonstrated that

While the Democratic party welcomes
to the country those who come with love

opposed to the dumping Of the criminal

labor to compete with American labor.

PENSIONS.

No nation can afford to be unjust to Its
defenders. The care Of those who have
suffered injury in the military and naval
service of the country Is sacred duty. A
nation which, like the United States, re-
lies upon voluntary service rather than
upon large standing army, adds to it's
own security when it makes generous
provision for those who have risked their
lives in its defense, and for those who are
dependent upon them.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 10-Mr. Bryan's
formal letter Of acceptance Of the Dem

shorter document than that Of McKin-

HELENA, Mon, Sept. 10.-The Re.
publican state convention met here at
noon and accomplished nothing up to 5
o'clock except to elect temporary Of
fcers and appoint committee on cre-
dentials. The inability Of the commit
tee to come to any agreement prevented
its reporting, and after meeting and adj
journed to meet at y o'clock, at which
time the committee announced it would
be ready to report.
From the very start the gold and sill
yer factions locked horns, and up to
adjournment at o'clock the silver men
had shown their majority over the gold
faction. United States Senator Man.
Tie, chairman Of the state central COM
mittee,
Addressed the Convention
almost an hour. He urged the dele
gates to carry out the plan recon-
mended in the report Of the Butte con-
ference. That report recommended
both factions to remain together and
nominate state ticket and adopt
platform excepting the financial clause,
when the silver men will withdraw and
each faction insert clause to it's ik-
ing, besides each nominating their own
congressman and set of electors.
At the night session the convention,
by a vote of 1866 to 154, seated the Man
tie contesting delegates from Butte,
giving the silver men absolute control
of the convention. The debate over
the matter was not as exciting as was
anticipated, the delegates having
Gained down before the night session
began. The appointment of the COM
mittees finished the evening session.

Honolulu, Sept. 10, 1896.

While in Hawaii we are safe
from those fatal heat waves that
have recently been so disastrous
in parts of the United States,
yet we all like to keep cool,
pleasant and happy. Now al
most the only way, or rather the
best way, is to be the fortunate
possessor of an ALASKA RE-
FRIGERATOR which we have
in different sizes and at proper
tionate prices. They are per-
fection, ana beautiful pieces of
furniture
Then there is the ALASKA
ICE CHEST, without compart-
ment, in four sizes ranging in
price from 50 to $1S. They are
a necessity in every household,
and so good and cheap as to be
purchaseable by all.
Another convenience in every
home is the GEM ICE CREAM
FREEZER, in capacity from Q
quarts upwards and at extremely
moderate prices.
We must also look after our
beautiful lawns and lovely flowers
and for this purpose we most
highly and sanguinely recon-
mend our finch RUBBER
GARDEN HOSE, which we
have in 25 and so feet lengths.
Come and inspect these goods
under our new management.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.

The violent attacks aud persecu

and adventurous seem not to be

At the Catholic congress recently
held at Dresden, Saxony, resolutions
we're passed demanding that there
shall be no discrimination against
Catholics in appointments to pub
lie Offices. Ia Canada things have
been very bitter lately between
Protestant fanatics and Roman
Catholics. In Belfast, Ireland, a
riot took place last month while a
Catholic procession was in progress
from the Cathedral. Even here in
Hawaii we cannot help noticing the
discrimination against Catholics and
their schools by the Government,
and the open hostility of the clique
headed by Serene E. Bishop, who
devoted the greater part of his last
Friend to attack, misrepresentation
and abuse of Romanism aud Catholic
missionaries.

The demand in tho homo market,
however, will hardly be sufficient to
make the enterprise pay. There are
numerous private persons who make
guava jelly for home consumption
and for sale at small figure. The
thing is to find market across the
sea. The duty on jelly in California
is unfortunately too high, which
will necessitate the placing of
market figure on the product which
will bring it out OF the reach of the
majority of householders. We do
not know what duty there is on

1t is the constant progress of the
Catholic church which causes the
envy and enmity OF Protestant faua-
tics who treat religion as business
aud object to competition in the
saving OF souls. The ostensible rea-
son for the present persecution is,
however, claimed by the A. 2. A. to
be "that according to papal defini-
tion the United States are merely a
province of tho papal church" and
that "there is not papist who does
not place the church above the state
and the priest above the ruler"
All Catholics emphatically deny that
their church has any temporal
power, aud the A. p. A. has never
produced scintilla of proof TO the
contrary.
