or Portuguese, reserving enough for
taro. Hundreds of the Hawaiians have
small ku1eanas which they are begin

and the good roads are making them
more active in this respect. None are
in want or hard up. The $4,000 the
Government is spending in the con-
struction of roads, goes mostly to the
HawaiianS. These excellent roads i'm
prove their lands, and by working in
the construction of the roads they get
the most OF the 500, 900: because. on ac-
count of the close competition of the
contractors nearly all the money goes

M'KINLEY'S EULOGI~M.
The Presidents Speech at the
Tomb of General Grant.

At the dedication of the tomb OF
April, President Mckinley paid the
following tribute to the life and deeds
of the dead President:
Fellow Citizens:
"a great life, dedicated to the well
| fare of the Nation here finds its earth
| ly coronation. Even if this day lacked
the impressiveness of ceremony and
was devoid of pageantry, it would still
be memorable because it is the ami
versary of the birth of one of the most
| famous and best-beloved of American
soldiers. Architecture has paid high
| tribute to the leaders of mankind, but
never was a memorial more worthily
bestowed or more gratefully accepted
by a free people than the beautiful
structure before which we are gath
cred. In marking the successful COM
pIetion of this work, we have as wit
nesses and participants, representa-
tives of all branches of our Govern
ment. the resident officials of foreign
nations. the Governors of States and
the sovereign people from every sec
tion of our common country. who join
ed in this august tribute to the soldier,
patriot and citizen.
almost II years have passed since
the heroic vigil ended and the brave
spirit of ULYSSES s. Grant fearlessly
took its flight. Lincoln and Stanton
had preceded him, but of the mighty
captains of the war Grant was the first
to be called. Sherman and Sheridan

KONA, Hawaii, May 1O.-The inter
great many Japanese are leasing small
holdings for about 10 years at from 81
to $5 an acre, yearly, according to
quality and location of land. The Ha-
waiians are taking quite an interest in
coffee, but the Japanese and Portu-
guese are rather more enthusiastic
These two nationalities are very eco
nomical and Industrious. Most of
these people were brought to Hawaii
as contract laborers, but now many of
them have comfortable little homes.
With the influence of the church and
the splendid free schools, the Portu-
guese will soon become valuable citi
zens. Their children have learned to
speak English at the schools and the
parents are learning it from the chill
dren. They are all Catholics, and Faith
er Victor is kept busy looking after
their spiritual welfare. They have
large families, and marry very young,
so that weddings are quite frequent. A
Sunday wedding is a common event,
as we'll as a great event. They go to
the church early, accompanied by
friends and neighbors, all on horse
back. Those who have no horses, hire
from the Japanese and Hawaiians.
This long train returns from church to
the home of the bride, and the invited
ones remain for an open-air dinner.
Fine clothes and an excellent horse is
considered the highest point of fashion
among the Kona Portuguese. During
the week fine clothes and fast, we'll
mounted horses are made fun Of The
food of the Portuguese is bread, corn
meal and meat, or salt fish; that of the
Japanese and Chinese, rice; while the
Hawaiians keep to the poi and raw
fish.
The japanese do not try, like the
Portuguese.<to rise socially. There is
no ceremony over a wedding like the
Portuguese. In fact, 1t is hard to tell

armies of the Union, calm and conf
dent as President of the reunited and
strengthened Nation, which his genius
had been instrumental in achieving
he has our homage and that of the
world, but brilliant as was his public
character, we love him all the more
for his home life and homely virtues,
his individuality, his bearing and
speech; his simple ways had flavor of
rare and unique distinction, and his
Americanism was so true and uncOm-
promising that his name will stand for
all time as the embodiment of liberty,
loyalty and national unity.
'Victorious in the work which under
Divine Providence he was called upon
to do. clothed with almost limitless
power, he was yet one of the people
patient, patriotic and just Success did
not disturb the even balance of his
mind, while fame was powerless to
swerve him from the path of duty.
Great as he was in war, he loved peace
and told the world that honorable ar
bitration of differences was the best
hope of civilization. With Washington
and Lincoln, Grant has an exalted
place in history and in the affections of
the people. Today his memory is held
in equal esteem by those whom he led
to victory and by those who accepted
his generous terms of peace. Veteran
leaders of the blue and gray here meet
not only to honor the name of the de-
parted Grant, but to testify to the liv-
ing reality of fraternal national spirit
which has triumphed over differences
past and transcended the limitations Of
sectional lines. It's completion, which
we pray godspeed, will be the Nation s
greatest glory.
'Tt is right, then, that General Grant
should have a memorial commen Surate
with his greatness. and that his last
resting place should be the city of his
choice to which he was so attached
in life, and of whose ties he was not
forgetful even in death. Fitting, too,
is it that the great soldier should sleep
beside the river on whose banks he
first learned the art of war, of which he
became master and leader without a
rival.
'fBut let us not forget the glorious
distinction with which the metropolis
among the fair sisterhood of Ameri-
can cities has honored his life and
memory. With all that riches and
sculpture can do to render an edifice
worthy of a man, upon site unsur-
passed for magnificence. has this mon
ument been reared by New York as q
perpetual record of his illustrious
deeds. in the certainty that as time
passes around it will assemble with
gratitude and reverence and veneration
men of all times. races and nationali-
ties New York holds in its keeping the
precious dust of the silent soldier. but
