Death of an Old Servant.

When James [. Dowsett ran
schooners to the South Sea islands
in the latter part of the sixties one
charter was for laborers. In one
batch was a middle-aged man
named Hukia and his wife. Direct
ly they landed they were taken
under contract to Samuel G.Wilder.
Hukia proved a valuable yardman
and the wife an excellent servant.
Hukia varied his duties occasion
ally by acting as special protector
for daughter of Mr.. Wilder's,
who was then but few months
old. At the expiration of his con-
tract the man returned to his home
on Manahiki island. but he had
proven himself such a trustworthy
man, and the little child had be-
come so attached to him, that few
months later Mr.. Wilder chartered
a schooner, dispatched it to the
island and brought him back and
installed him as head yardman,
and for twenty-six years he served
the family faithfully. Declining
years untitled him for hard work,
and lately he has driven the car
riage for Mrs. Wilder.
A week ago he was taken i'll and
grew worse until yesterday, when
he died. He was buried from the
house of a friend on Hotel street,
to which he had gone a few days
ago. The funeral was conducted
by Rev. II. III. Parker and the
interment took place at Makiki.

William Ii, Emperor OF Ger

airy p, 1859, the eldest son OF
Crown Prince Frederick William
OF Prussia. He was married to
Princess Augusta Victoria, daugh-
Ter OF Frederick, Duke of SchIeswig-
Holstein, February p, 1881. In
the beginning of the emperor's
reign, which began June 1888, he
sent addresses to the army and
navy, the pacific tone of which
surprised the world, as before his
fathers death he showed repug-

nance to the peace policy then in
force, indeed his fathers death was
deplored as an event which might
through the succession of the son
plunge the powers into war.
One of the most noted events in
the emperors reign was his differ
ences with Chancellor Bismarck
and which resulted in the chancel-
lor sending his resignation to his
sovereign March II, 1890. Since
then, however the two have met
and exchanged cordial greetings.
Just now the movements and OPP
pinions of Emperor William are
watched with keenest interest by
the great powers owing to his atti-
tude on the Transvaal imbroglio.
The matter of war between Eng
land and Germany rests in a
measure with the young emperor.
Consul Hackfeld usually cele-
brates the emperors birthday by a
banquet at his office, and he spends
the noon hour receiving the con-
gratulations of the Cabinet, diplo-
matte and consular corps as well
as many private citizens, On
these occasions it has been the Gus
tom for the Hawaiian band to en-
liven matters by serenading the
Consul. This part of the program
will be omitted today owing to the
absence Of the band on Hawaii.

alone they purchase and have the right
to control, thereby giving offense to and
assailing the political institutions of our
country, 1t is high time, in the name of
personal and political liberty, and by the
supreme authority of the state sustained
by right and justice and an enlightened
public opinion, to call an imperative halt
to unwarranted usurpation and abuse of
power.

TWO NOTABLE MEN.

Under the above heading the Atlanta
Constitution of yesterday pays capt.
Joseph F. Johnston, governor-elect of
Alabama and the Hon. John b. Knox,
the able chairman of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of this state, the fol-
lowing highly deserved compliments:
"Amid the smoke and conflict of the
political battle in Alabama two notable
figures deserve attention.
1.-THE first is the standard bearer of de-
mocracy Capt. Joseph r. Johnston, VINO
has won for his party and his people such
a great triumph. In the dark days when
the party was controlled by men who
had forgotten it's principles, Captain
Johnston held his place and organized Tor
victory, holding aloft the standard OF
true democracy, under whose IoIuS ne III
vited all honest men of Alabama to aliga
themselves, He inaugurated that fight
within the ranks of the party, which won
the convention at Montgomery and set
the pace for the democracy of the union,
the elimination OF which was Witnessed
in the great triumph at Chicago. Paying
attention to the details of the local can
vass, he not only brought the masses
back into the home of their fathers DUR
ing the initiatory campaign, but after
the convention was held he rallied them
to make their presence felt on the 3rd or
August, and that presence is best seen In
the magnificent victory which was rolled
up for democracy and for Johnston.
1.-THE second figure to which we would
call attention Is that OF Chairman Jonn
b. Knox, Mr. Knox was a gold standard
man. but never for an instant did he per-
nit himself to be led in opposition to the
will of the people. So fair was his can
vass during the campaign before the
state convention that although the silver
men held control of 1t by vote or . 10 l,
they retained Chairman Knox at the
head of the party councils. In his con-
duct of the campaign, which has so glorl-
ously ended, he has shown his party
LOYALTY in a manner which it would be
we'll for others to initiate.
"All hail to these two high and notable
citizens of Alabama. They have won the
first victory in the series, of battles of
1896. which Is bound to eliminate IN the
triumph of democracy on the Bird OF NO
veruhar"
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-08-06
THEY ARE INvINCIBLE.

The great uprising of the people in Ala
bama in favor of the British single gold
standard, evidences of which have been
seen on all sides since the adjournment
of the Chicago convention, eliminated in
a tremendous gathering of Drawn and
brains in Montgomery Tuesday. There
can be no question now about what Ala
bama is going to do in the November
election. Mr.. Yancey of Lowndes county,
the one lone fellow who proclaimed in
that meeting that he was a farmer, but
as sound as a dollar, supplemented by
one bank president from Eufaula, four
corporation lawyers from Birmingham,
one from Montgomery and two sore
headed, disgruntled, repudiated and de-
feated newspaper editors from Montgom-
cry constituted the bulk of the meeting
The purpose of the gathering was to
arrange to hand the electoral vote of this
state over to Mark Hanna for his mort
gagged man Mckinley in November. VIII
the meeting prove a success? Why, of
course the state Is lost to democracy
now.
The multitude of voters who stand
ready to back up the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, the Southern railroad,
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company, the Sloss Iron and Steel COM
pany and the Bank of Eufaula, each of
which were represented prominently and
appear to have had in conjunction with
the lone farmer from Lowndes, entire
charge of the affairs of the meeting,
which. we are told, resulted in the born
ing anew of the principles promulgated
by Thomas Jefferson and defended by
Andrew jackson, are amply sufficient to
sweep the state.
Chairman Jones of the national demo-
cratic executive committee, Senator Cor
man, Hon. Henry D. Clayton and other
gentlemen who are engaged in the con-
test in the interest of the national demo-
cratic nominees are notified here. and
now to clear the way and make arrange
ments to elect Bryan and Sewall without
the vote of Alabama, which has been in
manner turned over to the district at
torney of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, who from this time on will Of
course carry it about in his vest pocket.
For fear this may reach the eye of
some one who is hardly ready to concede
that the railroads and other corporations
mentioned, aided by the farmer from
Lowndes, are entirely able to control the

vote OF Alabama, and especially of Bar
bour county, we make haste to mention
the fact that in addition to all those
agencies that handsome, all powerful and
distinguished leader of Barbour county,
the Hon. Jake Guice, was present and
participated in the meeting.
If down to this point in our narrative
there remained a doubt in your mind,
gentle reader, as to how Alabama will go
in the November election, we are sure the
announcement of the presence of the
1ast-named gentleman has dispelled it.
Guice! What Jake Guice? The man
who would have to be lead up to the polls
with a halter under certain circum-
stances? Is he political power? Why,
of course, when he throws his ponderous
powers in the breach, with few rail-
roads and national banks to back him
up, he is invincible.
If we were not now absolutely certain
that we had already in this article called
attention particularly to an amply suf-
ficient number of agencies that were on
hand and helped to bring on the borning
of the new party in Alabama to guaran-
tee the state to Mckinley, we might call
attention to few others who were there.
Some of them from the sacred precincts
of Birmingham, who stand second only
to Guice of Barbour in point of power,
tact and influence as leaders.
If, in course of time, 1t comes to our
ears that there are any who still enter
tain a doubt as to the ability of the lead
ers who gathered in the Capital City
Tuesday determined that the true prin-
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson, such as
the British single gold standard and rail-
| road and corporation rule, are not per-
mitted to wither away and die, to deliv-
er the electoral vote of this state to Nc
Kinley, we shall promptly remove thai
doubt by laying before them in detail
the capacity as leaders of others than
those mentioned, who were there and
participated in the meeting. 1t would of
course afford us very great pleasure to
do this, and but for fear of making this
article too long we would do 1T now
They are men, some of them, who are
natural born leaders of men.

Notes.

Decatur, Aug. 5.-(Special)-The
weather has kept her hot wave dancing
about 95 degrees on the Thermometer for
more than a week here, until noon yes
terday, when painting nature was re-
lieved by a heavy shower.
The r. L. Coles will start for Chatta-
nooga tomorrow, at which place her
shafting will be repaired
Gen. Joseph Wheeler member of con-
gress for the Eighth Alabama district,
spoke here to small audience last night.
The generals speech elected frequent ap-
plause from his auditors as he gave the
enemy hard thrusts on the subjects of
finance, banking, force bill legislation
and in his sturdy defense of the princi-
pies of democracy and its wholesome
teachings for more than sixty years,
from 1900 to 1860. The generals effort
was the second national campaign gun
that has been fired in this county, his
opponent for a seat in the next congress,
Judge Richardson of Huntsville, having
preceded him some days ago.
The only incident occurring in connec-
ton with the election just held in the
cities of Decatur transpired Immediately
after the closing of the New Decatur
polling place on Monday, when Holland,
coalition candidate for sheriff had to be
ordered from the polling place by the
marshal in charge.

Captain Johnston desires the state
Herald to say that he has received so
MANY letters and kilograms of congratu-
lations from friends all over the state
that it would tax him sorely to reply 10
ALL and he desires the State Herald 10
express for him his sincere appreciation
of all these generous messages ana TO as
sure his friends that he will bear them
in grateful remembrance. Captain John-
ston has been on the stump continuously
for the past fifty days, and during all
this time he has not had time to give
any attention to his private business or
to any correspondence. He will now take
a. rest of a few weeks, during which time
he hopes that no applications will be
made to him for appointments. There
will be plenty Of time to consider all
these matters after the middle OF Sep

THE OFFICIAL COUNT SATURDAY.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT SATOhDAI
1t will be impossible to ascertain the
exact majority received in the state by
the democratic nominees until after the
official count, which will take place In
the respective counties next Saturday.
1t is known that Captain Johnston's ma
jority is something over 10000. The OIL
cial count may develop that he has car
ried the state by $4,000, the first estimate
made by the State Herald Certain 1T is
that 1t will not fall much under that num-
ber
From the most reliable returns to be
had until after the official count has been
made 1t is found that the democratic ma
iority in the white counties of the state
is in the neighborhood of 10000. The offi-
cial count may increase this some.
There has been shown up to this time
no evidences of unfairness and all indi-
cations point to the fact that the election
was perfectly fair.
The defeated nominee of the fusionists
for governor is quoted as claiming that
he was defeated by fraud, and few 9TH
er leaders appear inclined to cry fraud.
They are so accustomed to crying fraud
that it would have been startling had
they come out frankly and admitted their
defeat. There is absolutely no ground
for such a claim, and it won't go with
the rank and file. 1t was a clear case of
stand up and knock out and the fusion
lists got knocked out.
The duties devolving upon all loyal cit
liens demand that the popuhte and re-
publican leaders, who know they were
fairly defeated, cease crying fraud and
attempting thereby to keep up political
strife in the state.

Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
With flourish of trumpets and long
procession of roosters adjoining its front
page, the Montgomery Advertiser an
nounces the result of the state election
in Ala bama, and declares that Johnston
has swept the state by 10000 majority.
From the manner in which the Adj
vertiser exults over Johnstons election
it would seem as If that paper had not
only managed his political campaign,
but had shaped the result in that state
by its own wise editorial policy. Though
loud in it's praise of Johnston the Adj
vertiser's doxology Is somewhat mis-
leading.
In no sense whatever is the Adver-
tiser responsible for the result which it
celebrates. Refusing to accept the plat
form adopted by the Chicago conven-
ton, 1t has waged a persistent warfare
against the democratic ticket and sought
to bring reproach upon the views enter
tained by the great majority of demo-
Gratis in the United States.
Though noninally supporting the
state ticket, it never lost an opportunity
to go as far as it dared in throwing OBJ
stacles in the way of its success.
Opposing the national democratic tick
ct it could hardly bring much support
to the state ticket, which involved the
same fundamental principles. Instead
of aiding in the fight, therefore, which
has just closed in such a glorious
triumph for democracy, the Advertiser
has done nothing more during the cam
paign than to sound the note of discord
and division.
Taking this view of the matter 1t looks
very much as if the Advertiser was eat
ing al some one else's feast At any rate
the democratic ROSTERS, which present
such "a game appearance on the Adver-
Users front page, do not look exactly as
If they were Growing on the right fence.

A BIG SUCCESS.
The LakeWew Festival VIII Be One Of
Magnificence.

moSHhiICHbCs
An assured success is the great sum-
mer night festival which will be held at
Lakeview on Wednesday, August 20.
Everything is working to the best adj
vantage and an immense concourse of
people may be expected to witness the
many attractions provided for the occa-
sion. The singing contest will assume
the importance of an Interstate affair.
and SO many societies from abroad have
given notice of their coming that the
mass choruses by such a great array OF
trained male voices promise to be some
thing grand. With the musical pro-
gramme under the able leadership of
Professor Oetteking and with Mr.. Lesser
to keep things moving along the whole
line, the enterprise is sure to become
success. The fireworks display alone Is
ON scale larger than anything in that
line ever attempted here before and will
be feature to be remembered. Liberal
as was the appropriation of the Turn
Verein, this part of the programme could
not have been prepared, at least not
on such magnificent scale. but for the
financial assistance of a number of lib
eral spirited citizens, who are foresighted
enough to recognize the advantages ac-
eruing to the city from festivities of this
description.
The railroads are entering into the
spirit of the enterprise and are prepar-,
ing to advertise low rates of fare from
everywhere. A twenty page programme,
giving full particulars of all the details
of the festival, is being gotten up by the
Turn Verein and the railroads have
agreed to distribute them all along their
lines within radius OF fifty or more
miles from the city. Thousands of people
will take advantage of the low rates to
visit the city, and the programme will
be valuable advertising medium for our
merchants.
Altogether the prospects are most fiat
tering and the summer night festival
bids fair to rival in magnitude the great
mardi gras celebration of last winter.
