waii, the changes which are taking
place in the churches, or rather the
increase in the number of church edi-
fees, is noticeable particularly to those
of the older residents who have been
accustomed to uniting with other
Protestant denominations and meeting
for worship in one grand building.
The congregation of the Christian
Church was the first to break the uni
formity, of worship and erect a church
on Alakea street.
In October, 1894, handful of Meth
odists, who had been faithful attend
ants at the Central Union Church, met
for prayer at the residence of w. G.
Needham, Superintendent of the Re-
form School, and on the 14th day Of
the same month they assembled in
the hall at the corner of Fort and Hotel
streets and listened to an eloquent SER
mon by the Rev. Harcourt W. Peck,
young man and a dyed-in-the-wool
Methodist.
The advancement of that particular
branch of religion in Hawaii had its
inception in Mr.. Needham's parlors,
but its growth may be attributed to the
never-ceasing efforts of H. w. Peck.
On November 4, 1894, the First Meth
odist Church of Honolulu was organ
lied with eleven members on the roll,
and it has grown steadily since then
The sermons preached by Mr.. Peck
show earnestness in the cause of re-
ligion, and in them he has called upon
his hearers to stand firm in the cause
of right. He has gathered about him
men who desire to see Methodism grow
here as it has elsewhere.
Being, in measure, apart from the
organization in the United States, it
gets none of the benefits derived by
the congregations there from the
Church Extension Society, and must,
therefore, depend upon the liberality Of
the members of the congregation for
its support. Considering the length Of
time the church has been in existence
in Honolulu, the result should be mr.
gratifying to the pastor. for 1t ST VS.
that his efforts have not been thrown
away. ON January Of last year the
church became a beneficiary under the
will of the late Father Dimond. to the
amount of $1,000. This sum was the
nucleus Of the amount necessary to-
purchase a lot on which church, large
enough to accommodate the rapidly in,
creasing congregation, could be built.
A few months ago the trustees secured
the lot at the corner of Beretania and
Miller streets. known las the Wall.
premises, for 10000; but being short
Of the required amount, a member o.
the church, by his generosity, enabled
them to purchase it and erect the
chapel in which the services were held
yesterday for the first time.
The congregation numbers fifty-fve
members including probationers, twen-
ty-three having Joined since December

The ReUieW Of ReVie,Os for July is a
strong political number. The portraits OF
prominent men OF all shades OF polltics
are numerous and interesting, and the ed
itofial comment on the present situation
is luminous. The ReVieio Is the only
monthly which is able TO keep fully
abreast of all political movements and
changes. 1t is never caught mapping.
The action OF the st. Louis Convention
on the 18th OF June is already history TO
the Review of ReUietos which appears on
the first day Of July; indeed, that action
had been definitely and accurately PIE
dicted in the number of the month pre-
vious. The Review has shown such pos.
sibilities in political magazine journalism
as had not been dreamed OF in the phil
osophies OF the magazine editor of the
conventional type.
The most thorough aud authentic study
of William McKinley's character and ca
reer that has yet appeared in periodical
literature is contributed TO the July Re.
Vieao of ReUie,os by MIR. L. V. Smalley,
the well known journalist, whose intimate
known edge OF Republican party politics
ard long acquaintance with the public
men of Ohio render him peculiarly adapt
ed for such task. MIR. Smalley was
himself born and reared ON the "Western
Reserve" only forty miles from McKin-
ley's Poland home, and he writes with
full personal knowledge of the Majors
early environment. The article is well
illustrated.

wllful or Ignorant Mis-, representation

wiifuI or Ignorant MIsI epresentatlon-
Which?
The Democratic newspapers and orators
are constantly referring TO the Mckinley
bill as the highest protective tariff bill
ever put upon the country. In saying
this they either wilfully or ignoranily mis-
represent facts. The Mckinley bill was
drawn up with the purpose of reducing
the gross stun received from imports and
OF SO revising the tariff that goods, &C.,
made or produced in this country should
be projected from the low wagtd compe-
tilion Ct Europe and Asia, while the tariff
on things nsed by the masses and not pro-
dneed hele, should be taken off.
These purposes were accomplished by
the Mo Kinley bill, aud there was an esli
mated reduction in receipts over the FORM
er tariff laws Of about SiGty millions of
dollars. The duty was AIKEN toff Of
sugar, and large number of othtr arti
Giles were added to the free list Now how
the NJ, Kiuley bill could be the highest
protective tariff measure ever enacted
when it reduced the custom house re
ceipis about sixty millions of dollars, and
hugely Increased the fee list in the inter
esls Of The laboring classes, remains for
those who assert il TO prove.
The fact is That it Disseminated 10 levy
ing duties in favor of home manufactures,
and made those who wanted to import
such goods pay The bulk OF the duties,
and that seemed 10 iriitaie the free trad
ers. AS soon az they got in power they
Disseminated against home trade, opened
our ports TO foreign goods at low duties.
and closed up or hampeied our home
manufacturers The duty was re-lmpos-
ed upon sugar aud many other things
that did not come in competition with
home products, while the reductions on
other classes of goods were so great that
the revenues fell tt0O hundred millions
short Of meeting our expenditures.
So much for The first chance OF the De-
mocrhcy To tamper with the mannfactur-
ing and lahor interests OF the land. Ii is
safe to shy that that party will wait a
great many years before 1t gets another
chance.

COURS|NG PROGRAM.

The arrangements for the Oakes
Coursing match are about completed
and the managers are feeling well
pleased with the outlook. The only
matter left to consider is the weather.
If it is moderately pleasant during
the time of the meetings there is
every reason to believe that the 3D.
annual meeting of the Oakes club
will be the most successful one ever
held.
The program given below has been
prepared with great care and will be
followed as closely as possible. How
ever should the best interests of the
meeting demand Il deviation the man
agement reserve the right to make it..
Program is as follows:
First day go North and start
hounds on school section north of
Kenkel farm.
Second day go north east and start
dogs on school section north of NJ. j.
Anderson's farm.
First day run through card All
Age stake once.
Second day run through card All
Age stake once and puppy stake once.
The third day they will finish both
cards reserving the finals in the
stakes until the last.
There will be from eight to thirteen
courses run each day which will keep
the time we'll employed and the
SpOrtSmen on the alert.
AS the Oakes grounds are highly
spoken Of and the management noted
for hospitality, liberality etc., large
crowd is anticipated.
1t is possible that the last days
sport may be made on grounds on
the west side of the James River
However this cannot be determined
until it is known how numerous the
jacks are northeast Of this city,

Aberdeen Saturday: Mr.. Hunter
said
Yes, we started in with force of
men today which will be somewhat
increased as the season advances.
The land is in prime condition for
first class work-not too dry or too
maist. We shall plant 24O acres to
potatoes, 200 to oats, 100 to barley,
loo to wheat. 40 to millet and 80 to
rye; and besides will devote quite an
acreage to miscellaneous crops and
garden truck, corn, etc. We shall
have good practical irrigation force,
and confidently look forward to one
OF the best seasons we have yet had.
regard our land as worth $75 per
acre and expect it will bring good
returns on that basis"
"With every acre sown to oats we
shall SOW two pounds of rape seed
which, about three weeks after the
oats are harvested will furnish us
with fine green tender pasture for
stock. This is somewhat in the ma
ture OF an experiment, but We have
every reason to believe it will be a
great success. a large part of oul

KAFFIR CORN.
A Few Facts in regard to this much discuss.
ed Grain.

Kaf6r coin, which is a non-sa ccha-
rine sorghum, has been grown for
feed on the arid steppes Of Asia as
far back as the record runs, and be-
cause of its success Oh poor lands
has been introduced into the dry
districts of this country.
While rich soil and abundant wa,
ter increases it's yield and shortens
its season, yet it makes fair crop
on uplands, alkali lands or stiff soils,
where corn will not grow, and will
yield q large crop in dry seasons,
when Indian corn is almost failure.
II has the usual habit of withholding
growth during drouth, of starting
afresh after it rains and of yielding
in the end a full though later crop.
The strong stalks have an upright
growth of four or five feet, the wide
luxurient leaves grow two or three
times as abundant as those of corn
or sorghum on the same height Of
stalk and start from just above the
roots, the plume or head eight to
twelve inches long, tops the stalk
first and then second head shoots
from tho next joint below.
The seedis round, of the size of a
plump barley and is red and white
in color. The stalks, which contains
little more saccharine matter than
corn, makes an excellent fodder for
cows and horses, both green and
dried. The grain in the head is fed
to hogs and the seeds to chickens.
