BLAND THE MAN.

Knowing ones writing from Chic
ago to the various papers, give
Bland a dead cinch on the NOM
nation for President. The arrival
at Chicago of Messrs. j. w. Farriss,
Stone, Ben Knott, Hickey and other
leading Missouri men, gave Silver
Dick send off that will be hard to
counteract. The story briefly told
runs thus:
The aggressive management,
which was the one thing needful,
seems to be materializing. Governor
Stone had a long private conference
with Governor Altgeld, which
was supposed to augur well for
Bland, as the Governor of Illinois
will be a factor of immense power in
the convention.
Nick Bell took hold strongly with
George W. Allen. They proceeded
to engage the conspicuous reading
room of the Auditorium and to
make other arrangements for show
ing that the Bland men are in
earnest.
Some Of the most enthusiastic
Bland men claim that his will be the
only name presented to the conven-
ton. Others say that, after one
complimentary ballot, he will be in
stantly nominated. These predic-
tions are based on the announced
determination of the silver men to
agree upon everything at various
caucuses before going into the con-
vention, so that there will be no dis
sensions or unguarded mistakes
The Bland men say that if this
course is pursued he is certain of
nomination, because he is un-
doubtedly the choice of a great
majority of the silver delegates,
Friends of Senators Cockrell and
Jones say that both are loyal to
Bland, but have refrained from
positive utterance on the subject,
so that they may not be charged
with personal favoritism in their
management of the silver organiza-
tons. The protest of numerous
Chicago laboring organizations
against Boies today is regarded by
many as putting an end to his
chances.
The Matthews forces have made
no appearance on the ground.
The Bimetallic League held
conference this morning, which was
really conference of all silver
leaders.
1t decided to ask the National
Committee for a temporary or
ganization in harmony with the
wishes of the majority. The silver
leaders hold that temporary chair
man must speak on the currency is
sue, and that any utterance out OF
harmony with the platform would
be used as campaign document by
the Republicans, The choice for
temporary chairman is said to be
Jones OF Arkansas. 1t is now be-
lieved that Senator Tellers name
will not be considered or even pre-
sented, either in the convention or
or in any caucus OF silver Demo-
Gratis Not Democrat of any
standing, except Bryan of Nebraska,
is willing to consider the Colorado
Senator a moment.
With Boies and Teller pretty well
eliminated, Matthews and Black
burn not represented, and Steven
son not supposed to have any
strength with the Illinois delega-
ton, the field at Chicago today
shows little except Bland.
The Missouri delegation held a
caucus tonight and discussed a few
preliminary matters. Their purpose
is to hold caucus at least once
every day.

IL peace and harmony are to be
restored it is OF the first importance
that the governed should be in
sympathy with the Governors. In
other words let us have o govern
ment of the people, by the people
and for the people. Any other con-
dition OF affairs must ultimately
lead to trouble. 1t is wise ruler
who watches the changing condi-
tions and opinions Of his people and
adjusts affairs to mset the conditions
1t is useless to say that all classes
and conditions of people on these
islands are contented with the pres
ent order OF affairs. 1t is just as
useless to say that business is -four
ishing, when seven men out OF ten
in business will tell you, Mr.. Dole,
that profits haye been growing
smaller year by year since 1892. 1t
cannot be helped that many dis
contented business men should con-
meet the lessening volume Of busi-
ness with the outrage Of January II,
1898; that the belief should grow
that nothing will help to restore the
happy condition of affairs that ex-
listed prior to that outrage, but the
effort to restore good feeling be-
tween the foreign and native popu-
lation.

few things about finance smiled
his blandest smile and empowered
Mr.. Jones to go ahead, borrow the
millions at percent, and take fat
commission for his trouble. The
Minister who had listened to Mr..
Jones' financial bombast made only
one condition namely that the re-
funding "job" should be finished be-
fore November 1st. No money can
be borrowed walls Jones until after
McKinley's election. Admitting
that there is a very faint possibility
Of that event taking place it certain
ly cannot happen until after the 1st
OF November i. Q. after the expiration
OF Jones' contract with Minister
Damon. To grant Mr.. Jones further
time would be an absurdity OF which
Minister Damon is incapable. The
man has proved his incapacity to
accomplish what he said he could
do and the Minister will show wis
dom in trying another agent. He
knows very we'll where to 60 to find
the only man who in the past has
placed Hawaiian bonds in foreign
markets. We are told that Popcorn
previous to his departure on a
search for millions told friend that
he was now on the grandest mission
OF his life and that il he failed he
would retire from public and active
life and spent the rest Of his days
cultivating cabbages at Waikane
and wonder why he ever was such
cabbage head as to believe that his
financial friends" OF Haw aii-nei,
who applauded the refunding bill,
really wanted to see him accomplish
it, get fat commission and re-
duce the rate OF interest. Oh,
innocent Jones, oh, gullible Jones
return and be satisfied by being
"son of the revolution" A fnancier
you were never cut out for.

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Sept. 10, 1896.

While in Hawaii we are safe
from those fatal heat waves that
have recently been so disastrous
in parts of the United States,
yet we all like to keep cool,
pleasant and happy. Now al
most the only way, or rather the
best way, is to be the fortunate
possessor of an ALASKA RE-
FRIGERATOR which we have
in different sizes and at proper
tionate prices. They are per-
fection, and beautiful pieces of
furniture.
Then there is the ALASKA
ICE CHEST, without compart-
ment, in four sizes ranging in
price from 50 to $1S. They are
q necessity in every household,
and SO good and cheap as to be
purchaseable by all.
Another convenience in every
home is the GEM ICE CREAM
FREEZER, in capacity from 2
quarts upwards and at extremely
moderate prices.
We must also look after our
beautiful lawns and lovely flowers
and for this purpose we most
highly and sanguinely recon-
mend our finch RUBBER
GARDEN HOSE, which we
have in 25 and so feet lengths.
Come and inspect these goods
under our new management.

The Deadly Rifle.

Another instance OF the danger in
the Government allowing volunteers
to have arms and ammunition in
possession was demonstrated this
morning. At the Kinimaka premises
on King street adjoining Kawaiahao
Seminary a shooting scrape took
place which probably will cost the
life OF Tai Kin, young Chinaman.
Ah Fat, another Chinaman who
works on the premises obtained Of
Springfield rifle belonging to Samuel
Leleo, a member of Company O.,
who resides on the premises. The
rifle was pointed at Tai Kiug and
discharged " ith the result OF ndict-
ing serious wound in the head Of
the unfortunate boy. The bullet
was latter on found imbedded in the
wall OF school room belonging to
the Seminary. The police were
notified and Captain Parker was
promptly on the spot. The wound
ed Chinaman was conveyed to the
Hospital where he lies in critical
condition. All Fat is locked up and
makes the usual claim that he didn't
know the rifle was loaded, and that
he and his friend were skylarking.

FOR A PLRBIsoITE.

The native papers have suggested
the taking Of vote OF the people
OF Hawaii who had right to vote
under the Constitution of 1887, for
the purpose OF ascertaining the de-
sire ofthe people as to the form OF
government best suited for the peo-
pie and the person to placed at the
head OF such government.

The royalists will fall into line
with any form OF government and

will vote for. Take the lead Mr..

so, they can be readily prepared.
Let us have peace.

And now comes the only p. G.
Jones, the great fnsncier OF Mr..
Dole's Republic; the man who could
raise millions "West OF the Rocky
Mountains" and admits that he is a
financial hnmbug aud failure. When
he, few months ago, appeared be-
fore meeting OF financiers in Ho-
nolulu, he boasted that he could
attend to the refunding OF the Ha-
waiian national debt and that he
could accomplish the end "West of
the Rockies" He knew that a presi-
dental campaign was coming on in
the United States, but what was
that to cur great fnancier. His
appearance in the States would be
sufficient to cause the bankers to
pour their coin into his ample lap

According to an evening paper
Mr.. w. O. Smith, the learned Attor-
ney- General OF Mr.. Dole's funny
little republic, has arrived at the
conclusion that Mr.. A. de Souza
Canavarro, Charge d'Alfaires OF the
King OF Portugal to Hawaii is not
entitled to immunity from arrest and
molestation guaranteed to all foreign
diplomatic representatives by inter
national law. Our learned friend
whose study of international law
evidently is confined to reading the
Civil Code of Hawaii, is accused Of
saying that: "It is only foreign
ministers and such Of their attaches
whose names are duly registered in
the Foreign Office as being connected
with the legation who come within
the exemption" Mr.. Smith does not
rea ize that the word "foreign pub
lie minister" as used in tn. Code
means all diplomatic representatives
immaterial OF the grade of rank con-
ferrred on them by their Respective
governments. Ii Hr Smith is
quoted correctly aud is consistent
we presume that ambassadors are
not exempt from the laws OF the
countries to which they happen to
be accredited. ambassadors are
ministers within the meaning of tho
word as we'll as a Charge d'Affaires,
Diplomatic Agent or Commissioner.
The Attorney-Gener should re
fresh his store of international
knowledge before he ruus against
snag In regard to this matter it is
interesting to notice the Bulletin in
one column quoting the Attorney
General as saying that the Causvar
70 matter ''was something Of which
the Government would take no
cognizapce Of" and in another
column stating that Marshal Brown
has rendered an official apology to
Senior A. de Cauavarro"

Discussing investigations in the Alaskan gold fields, the report says that many small veins of rather rich ore occur on the southern side of the Silver Bow basin, about three miles north east of Juneau. The old lake beds there are successfully worked for gold by the hydraulic process. Al Steward City, fifty miles north ol Juneau, there are also veins extreme ly rich at some points and yielding gold. On Admiralty Island there are promising veins, and mlnin z there will be commenced in the summer.
