AN ENEMY IN DISGUISE.

Even the devil can quote scripture
But he seldom does,and never unless u
is his last resort. But he never quotes
it in its entirty nor correctly. =
half truth sometimes serves his pur-
nose better than a deliberate lie. 1t
makes the dose pleasant, but no less
deadly.
such tactics are as old as the world.
The devil showed himself an adept IN
them when he took Christ up on the
mountain, showed him the glories and
snIendor of the world, and promised
them to the Savior of mankind il he
would fall down and worship his
Satanic Majesty. Nor has it gone out
of fashion yet. Seeing that their

bearers the Aemocratic ticket, Nation

that Kirkland Hill was one of the few
gold-bug editors in this section.
The crops in this section, barring

least expense of any crop for years.

THE RAILROAD RATE WAR.
The Seaboard Air Line Will Not Meet
the 80 Per Cent Cut.

Baltimore, Md, July Vice-Pres-
ident and General Manager St. John,
of the Seaboard Airline, is in Balti-
more on business connected with the
rate war with the Southern Railway.
Mr.. st. John says he does not believe
the Southern will make an eighty per
cent cut in rates as has been alleged,
nor will the Seaboard Airline meet
it. The latter would in that event
reduce it's rates lower than the pre-
sent cut basis, especially on passen-
ger rates, but not to so great an ex-
tent as eighty per cent.
THE Seaboard, struggling as it is"
he said, with an adversary who has
no other motive than that of the des-
truction of its business, could ask for
nothing better than that the Southern
shall carry out to the full its announce
ment for August first, because it win
ruin its revenue and hurry the time,
which some people believe is not far
distant, when a reorganization of it's
system must occur, for it cannot meet
operating expenses and pay fixed
charges upon any such rates"
Mr.. st. John said further that he
did not consider that the Seaboard
Line, in refusing to meet such suicidal
rates, was receding from the position
it originally assumed, and when after
time it came to be sugg asted that
rates be raised again, his company
would probably look with disfavor up
on any material increase. He thought
that all commodity rates would be
brought into the present cut.

DAVIS AND HIS PLAT
FORM.

No one has ever denied to the Popu-
list party the merit of originality. The
Populist is nothing if not sui generis.
Perhaps never before have there been
assembled together in one body more
queer characters and picturesque per-
sonalities than were assembled in the
convention which last night completed
its work in ST. Louis. There was PEI
fer, with his long whiskers, and wild
eyed ideas; Jerry Simpson, the unique
statesman from Kansas, who saws the
convention was run by imbeciles; Gen.
Coxey, the commonwealer, and Carl
Brown, his lieutenant; Stump" Ash
by, middle-of-the-road gray-beard
from Texas; Mary Ellen Lease, the
political boss of the Sun Flower State;
Mistress Pennington, ''the sweet cam
paign singer, of Arkansas" and Capt.
G. A. Lloyd, the baritone from New
York, who now and then RECALLED the
convention with campaign parodies on
popular ballads. Then there was Eu-
gene Debs, who figured so strongly in
the Chicago railroad strike; Ignatius
Donnelly, who tried to prove that
Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays; Con-
gresham Howard, who wrote IF
Christ came to Congress-; Gov. Waite,
who wanted to ride through blood
up to his horses bride; and score of
others.
But, perhaps, by far the most unique
and picturesque character in that
memorable assembly was Cyclone"
Davis, the leader of the middle-of- the
road forces from Texas. His very
name represents wind and fury and all
the wild and woolly theories which
Populism is popularity supposed to
represent. But in his views on the
the money question the tall Texan is
as unique as he is picturesque in char
acter. He has an Unsuitable appetite
for free silver, and he wants it in it's
freest form. He believes in practical
free coinage, free to all, every man
to own a mint and coin as much and
as often as he likes. Here is the plat
form which Cyclone" prepared for
his own satisfaction and for the adop-
ton of the convention:
I've declare that life, liberty
and happiness are not secured
when the government refuses to
coin money for the people and
prosecutes the people as counter
feiters if they coin money for
themselves"
This is "Cyclone's" idea of finance
and he stands high in the councils of
his party in the Lone Star State.
/ The New Orleans States describes
Davis as "the jumping tarantula of the
cactus fats" and says that the sound
of a ruction is as music to his roar.
1t thinks that he is the wayfaring
champion of the undulating prairies,
weighs a ton and smells like a wolf.
] Davis is down on the Democratic
party worse than "pizen" and in a
speech to his admirers at st. Louis
the other day he scared skyward like
bald eagle of the Brazos. He said:
II have placed my sons on their knees
and laying hands on their heads
bid them to hate the Democratic par
tv for all time. j was like Hannibal
learning his sons to hate the Romans"
He was about to go still further up
into the blue empryrean when some

THE RAILROAD RATE WAR.

The railroad trust of the South, the
Southern States Freight Association,
composed of % railway and steamship
lines, has voted unanimously to cut
the through rates on nine of the II
classes into which all freight is divid-
ed, so per cent. On the remaining
three classes a cut of 33 1-3 per cent
will be in effect The nine classes to
which the so per cent cut applies, in
cludes all manner of goods shipped to
from Boston, New York, Phil
adelphia and the East. The three
classes to which the so per cent cut
does not apply, include such freight
as meat, grain and provisions pro-
ducts that come entirely from the
Western States. The reduction goes
into effect August /.
The meaning of this action is that
these % transportation lines-in de-
Tense of one of it's members, the
Southern Railway, in its fight with
the Seaboard Air-Line-have consent
ed to wipe out their principal source
of resenue and operate indefinitely
at an absolute loss. 1t is a war meas
ure and a suicidal one at that, for the
loss is such that it must, if continued,
throw every line that participates in
it into the hands of a receiver.
This fierce war means a great deal
m fha oil nd oil
to North Carolina. 1t is a fight to the
death. The Seaboard Airline is
struggling for its very existence as an
independent line and the Southern is
trying to secure a monopoly in this
State and the South.

SOME FANcIEs IN FOOD.
Articles of Diet Preferred by Some
Tabooed by Others.

From the beginning OF time there
has been always some variety OF
fruit, fish, vegetable or meat which
certain portions of mankind refused
to eat Among the edibles at some
time or other under the ban we're
the apple, pear, strawberry, ounce,
bean, onion, leek, asparagus, wood
pecker, pigeon, goose, deer, bear,
turtle and eel.
The Jews have an antipathy to
pork. On the other hand this meat
was highly esteemed by the ancient
Greeks and Rom ans, as frequent re-
ference to it in accounts OF banquets
is made. At the great feast held
annually in honor of Demeter roast
pig was always the piece do resist.
ance. Those who took part in an
other Grecian festival abstained,
however, from beans.
Mice are esteemed in China and
some parts of India, while, on the
other hand, the Egyptians, Greeks
and Jews abhorred mouse meat. In
old Egypt rats and mice were sacred
and in Greece the mouse was sacred
to Apollo.
People have abstained from eat
ing flesh which we think is pretty
good stuff. For example, the Theb-
ans would not touch mutton and
what can be said against a juicy
mutton chopf The Romans sneered
at the Egyptians because the latter
would not eat onions and garlic,
while on the other hand the Romans
refused to touch woodpecker stew.
1t is claimed by students that
antipathy to any kind of meat has
its origin in the peculiar custom
and belief called totemism. There is
time in the history of every peo-
pie when they claim kinship and
descent from wild beasts and birds.
This particular animal is the family
totem and they religiously refrain
from eating it. No member of the
bear family, for instance, would eat
bear meat if starving.
The survival Of antipathy to GER
tain foods was found among people
so highly civilized as the Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans. The goat
could not be eaten in Mendes, nor
the cat in Bubastis nor the crocodile
at Ombos, nor the rat, which was
sacred to the sun god. In Greece
families were named after plants as
we'll as animals.

Iolani School Closing Exercises.

The closing exercise of this school
took place on Thursday last in the
large school room which was crowd
ed with parents and friends of the
scholars. Among those present
were noticed: Ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani, Minister Cooper, Princes David
and Cupid, Mr. and Mrs. T. May,
j. l., Kaulukou and Mr.. j. Mott, Jr.
The ex-Queen arrived shortly be-
fore the commencement of the exer-
cises, and it was pretty sight to
see Miss Carrie Clark approach her
and gracefully tie a lei of lima
flowers round her neck.
The schoolroom was tastefully
decorated with flags, Hawaiian, Eng
lish, American and Chinese. While
on the blackboards were hung draw
ings and maps, the work OF the boys
during the school year. These
would be a credit to any school in
America or England, so well were
they executed. The teachers Mr.. G..
Willis and Mr.. j. r. Bush, de-
serve great credit for this result.
The various numbers in the pro-
gram were we'll rendered. The
singing of the boys was very sweet,
and the recitations of Alex. May,
A. Kaulukou, f. Iaukea and @. Jen-
kens were delivered in very distinct
manner. After the distribution of

stood, the visitors adjourned to the
