CONCERT PROVES SUCCESSFUL
kamehameha Boys and Girls Sing
to Very Large Audience.

to Very Large Audience.
The Kamehameha concert of Satur-
day night, given by the girls and boys
of that institution, was a decided sue
cess and reflects credit upon the mem
bers of the corps of teachers who had
the affair in charge.
Long before the beginning of the
concert the gymnasium was crowded to
the doors and many there were who
paid the penalty of being late by being
forced to walk away and enjoy the
moonlight as a substitute.
Perhaps the numbers on the program
most heartily enjoyed were the two ma
tive songs into which the singers put
all their reserve fund of expression.
The Chinese piece was so much en-
joyed that those taking part were COM
PEELED to come back and repeat their
performance.
The seminaries of the islands will
receive a handsome sum from Satur-
day evenings concert.

be Celebrated.
OTHER PLANS OF COMMITTEE.
Discussion on Combining Hawaiian
and American Days-NO Balloon
Ascension--Basket Picnfc-Exerefs-
es Eat Independence Park, Etc.

The first regular meeting OF the
Fourth of July Committee was held
Saturday evening in the Arlington Ho-
tel parlors. The committee was in ses-
sion about three hours, and during that
time the members had an opportunity
to express their opinions on citizen
ship and numerous other questions that
seem to be bothering the brains Of some
individuals of the body polite.
The Literary Committee reported the
usual set program for the literary exer-
cises at independence Park, at which
the American representative will pre-
side.
Other committees reported progress
and gave estimates of the amount of
money they would require to carry on
the work. independence Park will be
at the service of those desiring to hold
a basket picnic, and the large dining
hall in the pavilion will be put in the
lunch at a reasonable figure.
The question of a Fourth of July ball
was then brought up by Secretary
Smith After some discussion it was
day evening, July Sd, at the pavilion.
The special committee to look after
this function was named as follows:
T. F. Lansing, DR.. NJ. E. Grossman, E.
F. Bishop, w. P. Boyd, w. F. Dilling
ham and Captain Paul Smith.
Just previous to the passage of the
appropriations for the various COM
mittees, J. w. Jones stated that he had
been commissioned by a meeting of
Hawaiian citizens to request that the
program for the American celebration
and the Hawaiian celebration be COM
bined. There was very sharp discus
sion on this point, and questions of
citizenship were discussed till fur
ther orders. BY a vote of Ii to it
was decided to have the events for the
day upon one program, with the usual
separate program for the literary ex-
this decision A. V. Gear and DR.. J. S.
McGrew withdrew from the commit
tee.
Following this action $1,700 was ap-
propriated to carry on the celebration.
A proposition from Mr. Price to make
a balloon ascension on the Fourth
was tabled.
The question of forming a Fourth of
July Association as proposed by the
resolution presented at the first meet
ing was then brought up. AS result
of the discussion the following sub
stitute was passed:
Resolved, That the duties of all
Fourth of July committees be continu-
Gus and the committee shall be called
by the chairman at least five weeks
before the following Fourth of July.
No further business arising the COM
mittee adjourned.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Vague promises that If the Ohio
major Is elected president, the coun-
try will in some mysterious way be-
come more prosperous, should not
blind the American people to the real
nature OF McKinleyism. Four years
ago that word was understood to mean
policy of high taxation, dear goods
and restricted foreign trade. This
was the form in which it was embod-
led in the Mckinley tariff. and after a
full and fair discussion for over two
years the people rejected the policy
and ordered the tariff repealed.
Nothing has happened since 1892 to
change III the slightest degree the es-
sential nature of McKinleyism. 1t is
now as then demand for special tar
if privileges for the benefit of a few
great trusts and manufacturing mo-
nopolists. 1t is a scheme by which
100000 American consumers are to
be taxed on the goods they buy, in
UildL al
aires may make greater fortunes. 1t
means class legislation in the interest
Of men who furnish money to buy
votes and corrupt the sources Of pop
ular government. 1t is bold asser-
ton of the right of some men to get
rich at the expense of the masses who
produce all wealth.
The popular verdict i'll 1892 was
that McKinleyism was fraud and
robbery. Theft is always theft, no
matter what it may be called, Four
years ago the American people voted
against stealing under the form of
law. Is there any reason why the
same people should now vote in favor
of high tariff robbery, merely because
the Mckinleyites are this year calling
their leader "prosperity's advance
agent?"

Wool and silver.

The sheepmen and the miners have

Through all the tariff conflict that has
been 80 fiercely waged the mining
camps have stood like rock in sup

profession OF the wool grower. Now,
however. when it appears that selfish
ends may possibly be served by

point of local interests--as the sheep
men view it--and is not warranted
by the facts. The value of the Utah
wool clip last year was less than a

tariff, were that tariff high enough,
the value of the clip might possibly
have been increased three-quarters Of
millions dollar. The value of the
silver output last year was In round
numbers s5,OOO,O0O. Under free
coinage, the value would have been
more than S5,00O,OO0 more, and more
over, the value of wool would have
greatly increased, in common with all
other products. And yet there are
sheep owners SO narrow and so blind
ed by selfshness as to profess the be-
lief that the free coinage of silver is a
matter of minor Importance. They

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other die
eases put together. and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by Il. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the

FACING STARVATION.
Terrible Situation of Unemployed
Michigan Miners.
Even Their Pingree Patches Have Been
Devastated by Army Worms.

MESSENGER. Mich, Aug 3.--The I'll
den mine has closed down, 9pth day
and night shifts OF No. 8 shaft. This
completes the shut down OF the Rockefel-
Ter mines in this city.
Nos. @, z, 8, and 10 shafts now en-
ploy just enough men to keep the mine
clear OF water. In large number OF
mines the pumps have beer taken out
and the mines allowed TO I'LL with water.
Gogebic range mines are practically all
shut down at Hurley, Ironwood, Besse'
mer and Wakefield.
There are less than 1000 men at work
I'm the range where at one time over 5000
were employed. 1t is certain hat few
months OF idleness VIII find hundreds OF
families in destitution. The several min
ing companies have allowed their en-
ployees all unoccupiad lands for use as
'Pingree farms,' but the army OF
worms have destroyed the last hope OF
the miners OF having at least vegetables
to keep body and soul together the COM
ing winter. The poor fund is exhausted
and there are large numbers of outstand-
ing orders. The idle miners and their
families are therefore facing starvation.

DOWN THE BAY.
The Early Morning Shower Made
the Day Delightful.

Early yesterday morning the weather
was such as to cast a gloom over the
many shore resorts, but, as the Foster
farmers say, the damp weather soon
"burnt off," and then the usual amount
of chowder and SC forth was ordered pre-
pared, for the shower only made the day
me re agreea bic to all who had made up
their minds to go down the river.
Colonel Atwell at Fields Point had
about all he could attend to in caring
for the many that were in quest of shore
dinners and quiet stroll on the beach.
There were the usual concerts by the
American Band and selections by the
members OF the opera company at Tres
cent Park, besides the varied other at
fractions.
At Rocky Point "shooting the chute"
was the leading attraction until even
ing, and then PAINS war between Japan
and China took its place. Then there
were enjoyable programs rendered at the
Forest 4 heater, the merry-go-round, the
mystic maze and other attractions had
many patrons.
The dinner pavilions Mt Crescent Park
and Rocky Point were visited by many
thousands during the day, and there
were ample supplies on hand for all.
