Queer ideas some people in the
States have of travellers from Hawaii.
While at Ukiah, Calf, recently, Mr..
j. f. Eckardt overheard the question
if the man from Honolulu was very
black Mr.. Eckardt was a delegate to
the High Court of Foresters and re-
ceived marKed attention. But he
thought anyone should know there
were no black people in Hawaii. The
late Chas. l.. Carter used to relate one
of his experiences in the States of the
same order. He told that he was born
in the Islands and had lived here all
his life. Thereupon he was compli-
mented that he spoke English so WELL
Residents of every State in the Union
have visited the Group during the past
fifty years and an amazing amount of
literature on Hawaii exists abroad, yet
it is true as well as surprising that
the Americans are so engrossed with
their own affairs that they fail to
carry any detail of this or any other
country for that matter and are con-
tent with possessing a slight general
knowledge.

When VIM. j. Bryan received the
news of his nomination for the Pres
idency of the United States he was
guest at second class hotel. 1t is
remarked by "A local politician that
this circumstance will not injure the
candidate with the mass of voters. Mr..
Bryan is poor man and money for
his campaign expenses must be fur
nished by friends. Only last winter
he was on a lecturing tour in the west
and was heard by several gentlemen
now in Honolulu. 1t is "A substantial
and grand tribute to the American
system of popular government that a
man so distinctively from the common
people may stand up and claim the
highest honors of the land. Bryan's
first great speech, the one which
earned him reputation as an orator,
debator and thinker, was made in the
House of Representatives at Washing
ton when the Mckinley act was under
consideration. This effort became a
Democratic text book. It's peroration
was strikingly strong, being a vivid
plea for the protection of the Ameri-

can workingman and pioneer from the
hardships of high prices. Mr.. Bryan's
Chicago speech, which stampeded the
convention to himself most of which
was published in The Star recently,
was not lengthy, but was replete with
epigrams and the sharpest, briefest
argument. Another remarkable feat
ure of the nomination and prominence
falling to this young man is the fact
that he was II contesting delegate II
the Convention and that it was only
after a hard struggle he and his col
leagues were seated. Their opponents
were from the Morton or gold wing of
the Democratic party in the new state
of Nebraska. There is mat Arial in

story of the "Boy Orator" is at the

The republicans need more votes than they have already hired, and for the first time in national poli- tics the supply of purchasable vot- CTS in the east is not equal to the demand, and Speaker Reed is to be sent out west to contract for enough votes to make up the num- Der needed. We do not believe that he. will get them for he is used to dealing with coppers and nickels and will find that such small change won't buy much of any thing out west but postage stamps. Another thing, the western people cannot be bought at any price to vote against the interests of the na- ton. And what will prove the greatest obstacle in the way of talk ing the voters over to Mckinley is the fact that the voters on this coast are just as well posted on the ques- tions of the day as are the polite ians themselves, and MT. Reed will find great difference between the audiences he meets out here and those he has been in the habit of addressing, for the reason that we have had more and better oppor. tunities to study up on these ques. tions than have the masses of the working people of the east. We are not owned by corporations and have habit of thinking and de- ciding for ourselves.

 President Diaz in his last annual message to the Mexican congress says: "As you may infer from the facts which I have briefly reviewed, the nation does not halt in the course of improvement on what she has entered, and all the branches of the administration are contin- ually developing, even in the midst of difficulties. Thus, for example, the national revenue, whose excess over expenditu was an agreeable surprise at the conclusion of the first half of the last fiscal year, has increased in such manner in the second half, and in the months that have elapsed of the present year, that surplus of still greater amount hes now been accumulated, not withstanding tie naturally per turbing change in our fiscal sys- tenn"

Judge Sloan told us the other night that we ought to wait for other nations to act on the silver question and said that in the event of free coinage being re-established
 in the United States we would have the silver production of the world
 poured in upon us. He evidently
 did not know that in 1894 about 9S per cent of the silver coinage of the world was outside of this na- tion. And in spite of the fact that
 we only coined about two per cent of the whole amount actually coined in the year 1894, the mints
 of the United States turned out 9, 200, ,35I$. Does Judge Sloan be- lieve that the 40 nations who coined 9S per cent of all the silver in 1894 will cease its use when we adopt free coinage? He also said our population, being only about TO- COG, 900, was too small to enable us to adopt free coinage in opposition to the gold standard nations, yet Mexico, in 1894, with Q population of II ,632, ,924 coined silver to the amount of 29,4S1, ,033$, or more than three times as much as we did with six times her population. Mexico has surplus in her treas ury of about 6,000,000$ over and above all indebtedness, and is in more prosperous condition, in every way, than ever before. The United States is in debt to an extent that is appalling to contem. plate. Does this look as if the fl. nancial question was of minor i'm. portance? Cannot we, with pop ulation of over seventy million come as near doing without an in
 ternational agreement as Mexico with her less than twelve millions

Here is some of the ''logic, ! facts" intelligent argument. " etc, which is being used in the in. terests of Mckinley, and to show that the republican party have the best interests of all that is moral and honest, at heart.
 "Bryan--the very name carries condemnation with it! Why? Be- cause it is synonym for anarchy, communism, war, chaos, And lastly, if you want to see our country go to hell in hand bas- ket, then vote for the arch anarch- ist, w. J. Bryan, who upholds and pets all the damnable heresies and isms that are antagonistic to Amer ican principles and interests. "- Fl Paso Tribune.
 What kind of fool can man be who thinks that such billings gate as the above will help any cause? The idea that a great party, counting among its adherents as intelligent and patriotic men as any in the world, should place, or attempt to place, at the head of their nation such a man as the above extract represents Bryan to be, is simply ridiculous. Mir. Bry- an is the nominee of three political parties, and all of the three are made up of American citizens just as the republican party is, and common decency demands that they should be given as much credit for having the good of this nation at heart, as is accorded to any political organization. Such islander and abuse as the above never has and never will serve any purpose, and will only recoil upon the heads of those in whose inter- ests it is promulgated.
