CHARLES L. STEVENS.

The general opinion here is that
Clinton should adopt a form of city
government. The town is too big for
government by town meeting. The
town meetings are not well attended.
Town meetings never are well attend
ed after the population of a communi-
ty passes a point in the neighborhood
of 10000 people. Under a city govern
ment it would be easier to place the re-
sponsibiity and easier to avoid such
circumstances as the necessity of call
ing three town meetings to make one
appropriation. Push the city idea
along

I believe that Clinton should have a
city government. 1 am in favor of
any proper movement to make Clinton
city, and win give any proper meas
ure to that end my sympathy at home
and my vote at the state house. That
we must do something, is made plain to
all of US, I think, by the course of
things at the recent town meetings.
These meetings certainly left much to
be desired, in point of dignity and
economy. l do not see why the new
form Of government should be mora
costly than the old. ! believe. taking
everything into consideration, that the
municipal form viii be the least cost
~ The subject is one, however that
| ought not to consider at length, at
this time, inasmuch as I may be called
upon to consider it in an official ca
pacity at no remote date.

claim it viii cost more to run the
place as city than as a town. Clinton
is a city in fact, and the only ques-

whether we ought to wear outgrown

THE: COMMERCE OF Hawai-
Over Seven ty- Three Per Cent of Its Imports
From the United States.
List Of Most Important Articles Ey-
ported From This Country I'm 1897,
Compared with 1896.

The intense interest in the Hawaiian Is
lands. especially in their commerce, is ap-
parent from the requests which are reach
ing the bureau of statistics from all parts
of the country for the recent publication of
that bureau relating to the commerce of
the islands. The people of Hawaii bought
last year nearly $4,000, 900 worth of goods
from all parts of the world and, as over az
per cent of this was from the United States.
ii Is not surprising that the people of this
country should want to know In detail
what these purchases were, and especially
what class Of goods was imported from
other parts of the world than the United
States In view of the demand for this de-
tailed information, the bureau of statistics

into Hawaii in the year 1897 both in guam
titles and values, and the country from
which each article is imported.
While these statements presenting the
quantity and value OF each article imported
into Hawaii are too elaborate for complete
reproduction in newspaper form, it is prac-
ticable to enumerate the most important of
them.

CUBANs' COURSE DIsAPPRovED.
Representatives of the Junta Send
Warning to Their Soldiers.

SeDor Quesada and other representatives
of the Cuban junta have been in consulta-
ton with officials of the War Department.
that there was no dissatisfaction with the
management of affairs in Cuba far as
the Cuban representatives were concerned,
and that if General Garcia and other Gu
bans operating about Santiago were not IN
harmony with the United States autbori-
ties, there II arose from a misunderstand-
ing of the Presidents proclamation and of
the intentions of the United States govern
ment In the premises. The Cubans at San
tiago, IL was stated, probably thought that
the action of General Shafter means the
continuation of Spanish rule and Spanish
authority. 1t being well understood here
that such was not the case, 1t was the be-
lief of the Cuban representatives that when
the matter was made plain to the Cuban
officers in the field they would acQuiesce
der the United States army hearty sup
port.
The Cubans assured the war officials that
nothing was further from their desires than
a rupture with the United States forces
and authority. 1t also became known that
the junta had sent dispatches to General
Garcia and other Cuban officers that their
course at Santiago was not approved by
the junta. and If persisted in would result
in serious injury to the Cubans. II is be-
iieved that the representations made will
bring about a better understanding between
the Cuban officers and the Americans. The
opinion was expressed at the War Depart
ment that the better class of Cubans in
the island will have no sympathy with those
who would bring about trouble, but that
IL is the lower and vicious classes who de-
sire to loot and plunder the city.

I'VE do not know what may be the result
of this war. War often brings results
which were not imagined in the beginning,
but one result has already been achieved
during this war If there was anybody In
the United States who doubted the loyalty
of the people of the south, there viii here

neonle of the south. (Applause) When the
President of the United States gave a gem

and General Wheeler the sectional question
was forever buried, and hereafter there
will be no Dixie line. (Applause) When

down SOUTH because i told them you had

cluded by the government for the trans

of the curious developments of the war
that the United States government should
enter into a friendly contract with COM

to the Spanish navy, and some of which
have been captured or destroyed by the
navy OF the United States.
