the week. The object of the fair is to
raise money to purchase new instru-

UNDERGROUND TRoLLEYs.

The great Metropolitan Traction Com
pany. of New York city. is preparing TO
abandon the cable system so far as in use
upon its lines and to substitute therefore
an Underground trolley system of one Of
the several kinds which have been patented
In the last few years. Tae-cOmpany has
already made application to the city au-
thorities OF New York for the necessary
permission. and has announced that If the
privilege Is granted them they will forth
with spend 5000. coo in making the change
from the system now in use.
a vigorous opposition has developed to
the granting OF the privilege. which at
first excited some establishment. for the re-
quest embodied no granting OF privileges
more extensive than are at present en-
joyed by the company. and was. IN fact,
as It proposed. nothing more than a re-
quest to exchange one form Of power for
another. Ii seems, however. that hold
eTs Of overhead trolley franchises in 9TH
er cities were at the bottom OF the OPP
position. New York city has always re-
fused TO grant franchises for overhead
IIoiAtEEs oH ACCOUNT VI TIC AAASrE aS " EAt
as the unsightliness Of the system 9th
er cities. however. have granted enormous
numbers OF such franchises. and the over
head trolley system OF operating street
cars is at present the one by which the
greater number OF city street car lines aro
at present being operated.
Many OF the franchises granted in the
larger cities OF the East have contained q
provision that the overhead trolley snail
be abandoned whenever an equally ef-
ficiont bat safer system can be obtained
IL Il Is demonstrated by the Metropolitan
Traction Company that the underground
trolley system Is a practicable one the
wires will lave 10 come down IN many Of
the large cities. az least in the crowded
business districts Hence there Is a decided
opposition to the experiment being made.

emperor refused permission. and ali the

These figures give clear idea OF the
comgerciai Importance OF the Hawaiian
group to the United States. particularly
20 the people Of the Pacific coast. At
present out trade relations are intimate
and cordial, and tho United States pTae-
tically monopoiizes the foreign trade and
the foreign carrying trade OF the republic.
How long would this condition of af-
fairs continue should the Hawaiian re-
public pass under the control OF any Eu-
ropean power? The United States might
be permitted 10 continue 70 buy sugar
from Hawaii to the value OF fifteen mil
lions OF dollars annually. but the eleven
million dollars OF reciprocal trade now en-
joyed would very soon bs diverted In an
other direction.

THE LAND FOR ME.

Where the setting sun bids sweet good
night
In Pacific's wave. and streams his light
On snowy crests with colors bright.
This is the land, this is the land for me.
Where mountains rise by the ocean blue.
And sea-arms break the barriers through;
Where mount and sea give grandeur true.
This is the land, this is the land for me-
Where cities look with vision grand
On ships departing from the strand,
With harvests of the toilers hand.
This is the land, this is the land for me-
Look east, where the rolling prairie lies;
Look west where the stately forests rise.
This Is the land, this Is the land for me-
Where streams enchant recesses wild.
Where fragrant wales WOO breezes mild,
Where grain fields wave in beauty's
smile.
This is the land, this Is the land for me.
Where is deep wealth of soil and mine,
Where learning's genial sunheams shine,
Where pleasing arts the soul refine.
This is the land, this is the land for me-
Where winters face with verdure teens
Where drowsy rains lull TO sweet dreams
Where summers spell an Eden seems.
This is the land, this is the land for me.
Where the setting sun looks with delight
From Pacific's wave on the snowy height,
Waiting TO say sweet good night.
This is the land. this is the land for me.
o thou blest cline OF Washington.
Fair realm by Freedoms heroes won,
While love and years their course shall
run,
This Is the land. this Is the land for me.
