WHY BE SIL.LY9

The employees of the Republican COM
mittee. to whom is assigned their space
in the columns of the Republican news
papers, are making very poor use of
1T. They are turning back to the files
OF ancient days and traversing the
worn, hackneyed,s unfruitfu1 ground
Of forgotten campaigns. Today 1t Is
one silly sensation or rumor, tomor-
row another, but always an outright
and visible fabrication and folly. They
are now calculating soberly on the size
of Mr. Doran's majority. Does one
Of them, We wonder, suppose that
single vote Is to be won by such child
ishness? Can a man be Influenced by
pretense Of assurance at time when
the best-informed Republicans Of this
city are conceding privately the cleo
ton of Mr.. Culien? Is there any
sense or profit or politics in this alb
surd game Of brag, repeated in every
campaign with the same old idiotic pre-
tense Of sincerity that fools nobody.
There is no one who has or can have
the remotest idea Of what the vote
will be next Tuesday. The common
impression among thoughtful and OBJ
servant men is that Mr.. Cullen's sue
cess is assured; but by what majority
they do not know or pretend to know,
nor will anybody be able to make even
rational guessaatsit until the returns
are canvassed. This is the sober fact
Of 1t, which the Republicans attempt
to cover and conceal with boisterous
and nonsensicaL assertions. Do they
really think that this deceives any
one? Do they think that. even If it
did, it would affect vote? Why should
they be so silly?

ONE THOUSAND MILLIONS.
They Might Easily Be Sunk In a Mic
aragua Canal.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Lieut. Col. Will
lam Ludlow, chairman of the commission,
sent to Nicaragua to investigate the canal
plans, was before the house committee on
commerce today. Col. Ludlow held that
while the prospect was entirely feasible, the
isthmus presented physical conditions which
made the work one Of the most formidable
ever undertaken. One thousands millions
might be sunk. he said without result, if
proper and sufficient plans were not perfected
before the work was begun. So far as could
be forseen from seven to ten years would be
required for the completion of the canal, but
no man could foretell all the difficulties which
might arise.

INSURGENTS WEAKENING.
Madrid Dispatch Says They Are Anx-

MADRID, April ga dispatch from Ha-

surgent camps show that the leaders find Ii
necessary to exercise extreme rigor to pre-
vent their followers from surrendering in
compliance with Capt. Gen. Weyler's procla-
nation promising pardon. The insurgents
at Mayari. in Pinar del Rio. made an attempt
to surrender to the authorities, and In conse-
quence thirty Of them were hanged by order

DEMOCRATS AT DETROIT.
They VIII Adopt Silver Platform
Today.

DETROIT, April 23.-Detroit is swarming
tonight with prominent Democratic politi-
clans discussing the issues Of tomorrow's
convention. The most radical free silver men
are tonight claiming majority of two to

small majority. Chairman Elliott G. Steven
son called the state central committee to or
der at o'clock this evening for the election
Of temporary chairman for the convention.
The silver men had up to tonight favored
Thomas E. Barkworth. Of Jackson, for tenn
porary chairman while the administration

When the committee met, however, the silver
men had decided to make concession to the
gold men, and Murphy was unanimously

UNPOPULAR AT PREToNIA
Death Sentences Not Received With
Favor There.

LONDON, April 2S.-The South Africa com.
pany has received q cable dispatch from Jo-
hannesburg giving further details of the
judgment of the high court at Pretoria in the
case Of the members of the national reform
committee. This dispatch states that In ad-
dition to the sentence Of death passed upon
the leaders Of the reform committee sixty
two other members have been sentenced to
two years Imprisonment fine of $4,000, and
three years subsequent Punishment. The
dispatch adds: 'There is great excitement,
and unless the sentences are speedily COM
muted trouble is expected
All the daily newspapers here devote much
space to the outcome of the trials at Pretoria,
and all agree that there is no doubt that the
sentences will be commuted, and that there
is in fact no other course open to President
Kruger. The Chronicle says that it believes
the joint value of the property Of the men who
have been condemned to death will amount to

MR., NOT DIR. JAMESON.
Talks Upon Conditions In .Transyaal.
Hopes and Prospects.

Hopes and Prospects.
NEW YORK, August 27.-B. w.
jameson of Natal, South Africa, talked
today of the Transvaal troubles He
is no relative of DR.. Jameson, whose
raid, he said was recognized by the
participants and their sympathizers, as
well as by unprejudiced outsiders, as
mistake. DR.. Jameson's career, how
ever, he does not consider ended, and
he thinks the doughty filibuster will
Imprisonment is ended. Still less does
Mr.. Jameson think Cecil Rhodes ca
reer terminated, and he considers his
reinstatement as the head of the Gov
question of time. Already a petition
for his reinstallation has been signed
by 100000 Beers of the country.
Mr.. Jameson thinks all feeling caused
by the raid will pass away before very
long and the Beers and English will
settle down to comparatively amiable
understanding. The English and other
foreigners located in the Transvaal, he
said, were beginning to respect Dom
Paul Kruger, and no longer sneer at
his conducting a Cabinet meeting seat
ed on a wheel barrow in his yard, clay
pipe in mouth; wearing flannel shirt
and with his trousers stuck in his
boots. Dom Paul, Mr.. Jameson says,
will in time give the foreigners in the
Transvaal the franchise and other
rights which they demand, as they
number two-thirds of the population
and furnish by far the greater part of
the revenue.
Mr. Jameson described Natal, Cape
Colony and the Transvaal as being at
the flood tide of prosperity after
long period of depression. Everybody
is making money, not only the mine
owners, but all sorts and conditions of
men, especially theatrical managers.
Nearly all the prominent places in the
mining fields in South Africa are held
by Americans. While money can be
made in South Africa, Mr.. Jameson
does not advise any one to go there
who is not exceptionally clever as
mining engineer or mechanic, and is
not afraid of hard work.

should be carried out TO the letter a
motion to rescind the regulation pro-
hibiting fishing in the harbor was
carried by a unanimous vote.
Regarding the Government physici-
an in Kona, President Smith reported
that DR.. Crane and wife had been taken
ill with typhoid fever just as they were
about to start for the islands. DR.. Nc
Wayne was appointed Government
physician for North Kona and Dr.
Lindley for South Kona, the appoint
ments to date from Sept. 1.
DR.. Monsarrat asked whether the
fish from the Norma should be sold in
the market or allowed to be placed on
sale at the stores. The sense of the
Board was that if the fish were in
good condition they would come under
the same rule as the salmon brought
from the Coast on ice. Mr.. KeliipiO
thought the NOrma's fish were not up
to the standard. Consequently the
matter was referred to Dr. Monsarrat
and Mr.. Keliipio for investigation.
