The DiSpeMSary.

AS a matter of fact, we believe II Is no'
charged that any State officer is guilty OF oth.
or wrong than knowledge OF the fact that an
agent or drummer had made something ou'
of the liquor purchases.
But even if every man connected Win Tue
buying Of liquor for the State is corrupt tha'
r,a,,ars NOT. so far as the best law in reference
to liouor is concerned. The State has plenty
of honest men, who will be willing to admin
lister the law. The temperance people OF thls
State have no doubt on this subject, and II is
not likely that they will join the saloon men
in any effort to reopen the bars again.
If Charleston has any hope Of opening her
bars by flatterng and coddling Elleroe' theS
will have their trouble for nothing, even
though Ellerbe should be weak enough 10
Weld, The people will rise in their migh'
against any man who would deceive them
and betray them into the hands OF the liquor
element of Charleston.

Praises for Governor Ellerbe.

Asarule the people OF Charleston are the
wisest and most sagacious people in the State.
Realizing their recent mistaken in abusing he'
form officers-supposing the News and Cour-
ier reflects their sentiments-they are no"
praising Governor-elect Ellerbe to the skies.
It would seem that Charleston is deiirious
with delight at his election.
Now, watch and see if this praise OF Eileroe
is not followed by other fawning and SUP
sequent petition for the removal OF 'he Me''
ropolitau police, which is so necessary for 'he
enforcement of the liquor law.
If Ellerbe should be induced to enforce the
law differently in Charleston from the man
ner of its application TO other sectlons' he
will likely hear from the country people.
II will be needless for Ellerbe to sacrihce
himself on the liquor altar of this State. The
people are not going back to the bar-room
business, even If the saloon men should Incl
IDENTIFY combine TO work for that end by fight
ing the dispensary.

their representative. w. c. Pomeroy of
Chicago had been refused a seat In the
convention and that alternates would
be seated.
The report Of the grievance commit
tee that the United Labor league Of

iating body and its application could
not be considered was concurred in.
The report that the stationary engin-
GERS and marine engineers Of St Louis
should belong to separate organizations
was adopted.
The report that the Brewers union of
New York be given till Jan. to comply
with the conditions of an agreement
provided for at the last convention
brought out a long discussion on the
old trouble with brewers and coopers
OF New York. which consumed most OF
the forenoon session. Some charged
that the action of the New York Brew
ers' union was such that they should
have been refused representation in the
convention this year.

HAWAII TAPS AT THE DOOR.
Henry Cooper Tells of Condition of the
Islanders.

heury Soopef leiis oi Sonuiooh VI sho
Islanders.
San Diego, Cal, Dec. 1.-THE secret
Of Henry Cooper's mission to the Unit
ed States is out. Mr.. Cooper is the
Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs.
He formerly lived in San Diego and
was a prominent member of the bar.
He is here and is quoted as saying that
he came to the United States to urge
annexation, owing TO the fears that the
Hawaiian government has of Japan.
The situation In Hawaii, according
to Judge Cooper, Is that the Japanese
far outnumber all other foreigners. The
Americans are a handful in COMPARE
son. Hawaii has a treaty with Japan
and cannot exclude the japanese. who
are pouring into the islands steadily
and pushing into every business. They
are losing that humble demeanor that
characterizes their countrymen on this
coast and through their great numbers
and the prestige OF the Japanese-China
war are beginning to chafe for the
elective franchise. If they force Ha-
waii to give them the right OF vote
then American ascendancy will be at an
end forever.
Judge Cooper has laid the situation
before influential men In the east and
has so won upon their judgment that
he believes great strides will be made
during the next year toward annexa-
ton under the Mckinley administra-
tion.

FRANCIS NOMINATION.
It VIII Not BE Confirmed Until After the
Holidays.


Holidays.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE nomina-
ton of Secretary Francis as head of
the interior department was referred to
the finance committee in accordance
with the custom of the senate. Nomi-
nations of the president for cabinet po-
sitions are usually confirmed very
promptly. The nomination of Mr. Fran
els was sent to the senate week ago
and Tuesday was the first meeting OF
the finance committee since the nomi-
nation was sent to 1t. Secretary Fran
els will not be confirmed until after the
senatorial election in Missouri. 1t is
understood that Senator Vest, MEM
ber of the finance committee, suggest
ed that the nomination go over until
after the holidays. The opposition, II
such It can be termed, can be traced to
the recent election, in which Secretary
Francis supported the gold Democratic
candidates. Considerable feeling has
been engendered but 1t Is not believed
the opposition will be carried 50 far as
TO prevent a confirmation.
