According to Republican gossip, one
of the surest ways to get an aspirant for
cabinet honors turned down by McKin-
ley, is to get him endorsed by Senator
Chandler. 1t is said that Mckinley
breads nothing so much as that he may
by accident do something that Chandler
wants him to do, or appoint somebody
whom Chandler wants appointed.

The Philadelphia Press, in accordance
with its policy OF always keeping abreast
of the times, announces Il departure
which is certain to attract widespread
attention by reason Of its novelty and to
bring happiness to thousands. 1t is the
establishment Of premium department
through which men and women, boys
and girls, schools, churches. clubs and
societies can get, free of cost, the things
they have been wanting for years, but
have been unable to buy. The range of
gifts which the Press proposes to give
free to those who will make II little effort
is so great that it embraces almost every
thing, useful aud ornamental, which
anybody can wish for. The project even
includes the payment 10y the Press of the
expenses of a course in any college or
university for any number of ambitious
young men and women. The whole
plan is described in the Press Premium
List, which can be obtained free from
any agent for the Press or will be sent

Although it is the policy of the Re
publican leaders in both house and senate
to keep the Cuba question in the back
ground, there are some men who refuse
to be gagged. One of these is Reprcsen-
tative Hardy. of Indiana, who got the
floor to speak on the agricultural appro-
priation bill, and proceeded to make a
red hot five minute speech for Cuba,
which he would have continued had not
his request for unanimous consent for
an extension of time been refused. He
made direct attack upon the admins
tration, and those senators and repre-
Sentatives who, he said, were dining
with the Spanish minister too often tt

struggling for liberty.

Senator Allen took occasion to reply
to the various rumors saying that he
would vote for the Republican tariff bill
by saying: Il have said that | believe
the proposed tariff measure of the Re
pubicans ought to be permitted to pass,
if it has sufficient votes, after reason
able debate, This does not mean, how
ever, that | will vote for the Republican
tariff bill. On the contrary, | shall vote
against it," In other words, Senator
Allen occupies the same position towards
the tariff bill that Senator Jones and
other prominent Democrats do-that 70
tillbustering shall be indulged in to
prevent its coming to vote.

If there is anything in the old super
sttion, McKinley's ears must have been
burning ever since it was announced
that he had chosen Lyman j. Gage, Of
Chicago, Il man who voted for Cleveland
signed the petition upon which Governor
Altgeld pardoned the Chicago anarchists,
and who has for years been known as al
most free trader in his tariff views, for
his secretary of the treasury. 1t is a
great effort for the Republicans in con
gress to keep from expressing publicly
the disgust they feel for this break OF
McKinley's, but in view of the official
pie that Mckinley will soon begin to dis
tribute they are making the effort.

Boys And The Curfew.

States.
The Shreveport Times, in advo-
cacy of a curfew law prohibiting
boys under a certain age from
drumming loose" on the streets at
ter 9 p. m.-which has been adop-
ted in several Western cities Of
fers the following forcible argu-
ments:
1.-THE question of the morals, the
early influences that mould the
characters of the boys of the Oh
ties, is for the serious considera-
ton of both parents and officials.
The boys who are permitted to
roam the streets at all hours OF
the night and enter all kinds OF
places and resorts, cultivate habits
that make the criminals of the
country and fill the jails and pen-
itentiaries. The fathers and mo-
theirs who permit their boys to
leave home in the night time un-
attended, or who do not compel
their early return home, and then
afford them some wholesome at
tention and amusement or Occupa-
ton, are assuming responsibility
and neglecting a duty that will re-
pay them in agony of spirit and
, bitter tears.
"These boys learn to swear
} drink, chew tobacco and smoke
cigarettes, gamble and follow 9th
, er vicious habits that ruin theil
morals and health and unfit then
for the future active duties ant
responsibilities of life. There i
!. either something wrong about tn
s attractions and influences OF tn
! homes that permit boys to roar

A NEW COMPANY
Incorporation Papers to
be Handed in Today.
Business of G. (. Richardson
Bought Out VIII Keep Larger
Stock.

Papers Of incorporation Of the Hilo
Mercantile Company with the names
Of J. w. Mason, T. J. Higgins, E. Z.
Potter OF San Francisco. II. r. Wich-
man, Captain J. G. Quincy and a. @.
NJ Robertson, an incorpOrators, at
tached, will be handed in today. The
company is composed of the incOr-
porators and others who have bought
out the business formerly owned by
Charles e Richardson of Hilo and
which included the store and lumber
yard on Front street and the branch
store in Olaa. Mr.. Mason is the or
ganizer of the company and the man
who secured the requisite capital, the
sum of 100000 fully paid up, with
a privilege of increasing the amount
10 $3.50, 900. Mr.. Mason is also pre-
sident and managing director. In an
interview with that gentleman at the
Hawaiian hotel last night, he had the
following to say:
"On Tuesday morning Mr.. Potter
and | will leave for Hilo on the Kinau
where we will be engaged for a while
in taking an inventory of the stock,
which work completed we will take
possession and move in. The papers
call for the 18th of March as the day
upon which the new company is 10
take charge. The old store will be
torn down and new one erected on
the lot adjoining and occupied at
present by Mr.. Sisson's house. No
thing will be put on the site of the
old building unless there is call for
buildings to be put up for rental. At
all events we have all of the Richard
son land along Front street and so it
lies altogether with us what we shall
do.
I'VE shall take up the lines that
Mr.. Richardson has dealt in and fill
them completely, also keeping on
hand a full and larger assortment of
lumber to be sold at the lowest pos
sible cash price. | might say here
that we intend TO pay premiums for
cash. At present there is quantity
of lumber in the yards amounting TO
about 400, 900 feet or more. We shall
have on hand much lumber that has
never before been kept in Hilo.
Mr. Potter is to represent the
company on the Coast. He will at
tend to all the purchasing over there
and being a man of wide experience
in that line of work, this part can
well be left in his hands. Besides
being general insurance agent for
several companies he is the principal
owner in several fruit, grain and
stock ranches. Then again he was for
several years the proprietor OF a
wholesale grocery business in Chicago
in which city he was living during the
great fire of 1872.

the manufacturers wherever they can
be found. Our freight rate to Hilo
Just now is 81 more pertOn than to

we will put on vessels through our
connection The rates must and will
