tends these festivals. for as the result
of a fight with knifes, one man is dead,
two are dying and five others are badly
carved. Strong liquor flowed freely at
the christening, and soon many of the
men were mad with drink. Seven of
the participants in the feast went to
the house of LuceteZ KrutchaS.
KrutchaS soon had to resent an insult
to his wife, and then the knives flashed

and fed from the room. A fearful
fight followed in the dark. The drink

other and rolled together upon the
floor in deadly grapple.
Finally a constable and a posse
broke into the house and when a light
was had a CHASTITY picture was pre-
sented. The furniture was battered
and broken, and stretched on the floor

was secured and Mr.. Thatcher spoke
as follows:
HON. MOSES THATCHER.
Ladies and Gentlemen:-We meet
this evening to commemorate a great
historical event, this being "Jackson's
pay." the anniversary of the battle of
New Orleans. That great American,
born and reared in privations incident
to 4 frontier life and the hardship of
war had learned in his youth to place
love of country next to love of God.

then a mere boy, demanded the rights
of A prisoner of war, for which he re-
ceived a blow from sabre. None of
us would at this time hold that nation
responsible for the act, but Jackson
undoubtedly did, for England did net
avoid the consequences Of that blow.
for the incident undoubtedly did much
to shape his career in after years, for
when he met the hosts of Great Brit
AIMS armies with his raw recruits, they
suffered, for on that day he carved
the highest notch on fames column
with a loss of but eight men killed and
13 wounded, while on the other side
1900 men went down.
That trivial insult to an American
boy brought to US one of the greatest
men nc have had. (Applause.)
His chief characteristic was love of
country and his devotion to country
WAS unsurpassed. Although a warrior
he was also a statesman. Although
dueIlist he was a religious man and

the present tariff laws. Works were
closed, wages reduced and the hours of
work increased. Under the Mckinley
law the industry had prospered, and at
the same time the cost of bottles was

w. ]. Smith of Pittsburg spoke for
the workers in flint and lime glass
ware, the most important branch of the
glass industry, employing the greatest
number of laborers and having the
largest capital. He asked for protec-
tion on lime and flint products in order
that the industry might live and en-
ployment be given to idle workmen.
w. S. Dorfiinger of New York, repre-
senting the Cut Glass Manufacturers
association, said a high tariff on cut
glass was necessary in order to COM
pete successfully with the ware pro-
duced by cheap foreign labor.
Representative Taylor of Ohio, who
represents the district formerly repre-
sented by President-elect Mckinley,
spoke for the manufacturing and oper-
ative potters. What they wanted, he
said, was the recognition by congress
of the difference paid workmen here
and abroad.

morrow, when iron and steel men will
be heard.

Gratis, but represented principles as diff
ferent as night and day Lincoln and
Mckinley are both nominally Repub-
licans, but the principles advocated by
each are greatly dissimilar.
In speaking of Jackson's greatness
the speaker attributed it to his great
Americanism. Jackson was in fact the
first peoples president. Jefferson was
man Of the people, but hampered by
his associations, many of the people of
his own class clubbing him a rank
demagOgue. And even Washington
once said you could get nothing good
out of Jeffersonian Democracy
The speaker then referred to Jack
sons wonderful elevation from obscur-
ity, without distinguished parentage,
and nothing but his courage TO do right
to the presidential chair. 1t was the
very force of the fact that he was the
very people incarnate that made his
memory loved by a grateful people.
HE WAS A DEMOCRAT.
He was a Democrat of firm convic-
tions. If his ministers differed from him
ne swept them aside. Did the supreme
court differ from him? THE court
at that time" added the speaker, sar-
caStically, had not risen to that de-
gree of infallibility it claims now"
Jackson was a typical Democrat. "A
man in the Knutsford hotel lobby
asked me this afternoon" said the
speaker, why it was that all of us
Democrats always worshipped dead
Democrats?" Yes, we can we'll worship
dead heroes and wish there were more
of them when we contemplate Demo-
cracy Of the past few years" (Great
applauSe).
Local f-government should be re-
cognized and the principles of Jeffer-
son carried out was the speakers idea
and theory.
The financial problem was predomin-
ant and the Pierpont- Morgan of those
days was Nicholas Biddle, who lived
in a marble palace on the Delaware
He was feted and courted as no other
man was this side of the sea- Business
men courted his favor and feared his
frowns, for he had the deposits of the
government in his banks and his favor
meant much.
In 1882 his bank needed a new charter
and ne visited Washington and con-
descended to visit Jackson who offered
him a seat and a cob pipe and told
him to go ahead. He informed Jack
son of his wealth and it's power. How
he made governors and seatorS and
legislatures. Perhaps l might be in
duced to give my consent to your re-
nomination he said in closing.
Then Old Hickory rose up and said:
Mr.. Biddle. if you have got the power
you say you have, and l have no
reason to doubt it, you have a damn
sight more than any man in the United
States ought to have, and if congress
passes your bill, by the Eternal I'll
veto it,
And he did.

intense surprise OF many sound

tory at New Orleans, repre-
sentative members of the national
Democratic party from the ten middle
and western states who fought under
the banner of Palmer and Buckner,
assembled $50 strong tonight in the
banquet hall of the Auditorium hotel
to celebrate alike the birthday of
Andrew Jackson, the victory over
Bryan and free silver and renew
pledges of adherence to the Indian

made notable by the presence of the
party's nominee for vice-president,
General Simon B. Buckner of Ken

Massachusetts, assistant secretary of
the treasury and Hon. Henry Waiter
son of Louisville. The banqueters
were also honored by having read to
them letters from the president of the
United States, from his secretary of
agriculture, Hon. J. Sterling Morton,
and the standard bearer of the party
in the recent campaign, United States
Senator John NJ. Palmer, and tele-
grams from Secretaries Wilson and
Francis, and others prominent in the
party. The letter which President

was reared in a school which taught
that some insults could only be wiped

in these traits all who shine in the

4" The Standby"
BY Edmund p. Dole.

For Hawaiian readers to sppreci-
20 this book, Mr.. Dole's personality
and present position with us must
be ignored and the work judged on
its own merits apart from bias and
prejudice.
1t most decidedly has the advan-
tage of being very readable, and OF
affording food for serious thought
while it is being read. 1t is healthy,
mauly and clean in tone, and il it
docs not fiji a "long-felt want" il
Gao do no harm and may do no little
good.
We feel inclined to regard it as a
cleverly compiled brief in favor Of
healthy universal temperance to be
inculcated not by fanatical crusades
OF laws based on fosslized statutes
OF repression and injustice to one
party alone in the fight, but by the
popular will gradually educated to
appreciate the social, physical,
moral, aud practical benefits to the
Individual aud community by the
exercise Of tenn perate habits. The
individual controls himself for his
own benefit, and the aggregation of
tbs individual units control the viii
lagn, the town and the State to their
separate and mutual advantage
There is one great merit in the
work, which will bs perceived by its
rea ters, in its giving both sides OF
the question fairly aud honestly
through the chorus OF the cbarac-
te,s employed to enuuciate the pre-.
sumed principles Of the author.
There is an appreciable advantage
in this which disarms the pungent
criticism Of fanatics. Mr. Dole pre-
sents his brief to the Judge and
jury, the people, from his standpoint,
and calmly awaits the verdict, not
Of popular favor for his labors but
