THE PARK LOTS.

Senator McCandless feels That we
have misrepresented him in our
commments yesterday on the bills
introduced by him and Senator

II the People really want beach
at Waikiki let their senatorial cham
pion suggest different measure
than the passing Of bill which %
years from now will deprive present
owners OF their leases. A bill, by
the way, which surely would be re-
pealed or amended many a time be-
fore the expiration OF the leases, a
day which neither the Senator or
the writer may be around to see.
There is plenty of waterfront at
Waikiki suitable for the public, but
we reiterate our former statement
that a bathing" Park for the bene-
fit OF the People should be con-
structed near the center of the town
and the expenses for such an object
could easily be covered by the money
which the treasury would gain
through the passage OF Senator
Browns bill,

The Senator cannot seriously en-.

Of the same value to the occupier as
is the land in fee simple. If his bill,
which we cannot avoid considering
absurd should pass the ase-holders
Of the property in question would at
once cease making improvement and
they would consider present invest
ments virtually lost. One lease
holder took few lots when the
Park was divided, and he now pays
taxes on $4,000, the estimated value
OF his improvements OF the sand lots
which he purchased, Other resi-
dents are in the same position, and
the Senator should remember that
they don't ask for Royal Patents

any fair sum that according TO inde-
pendent arbitrators would be con-
sidered equitable.

We fully agree with the Senator,
that a great mistake was made
when the beach of the present Park
was handed over to private individu-
ais. But with all due respect to the
Senator we fail to see how two
wrongs can make one right; how

MANY HEARTS MUST ACHE
THE MINOR THEME IN MARTIAL
MUSIC.
There is a Cadence of Tears Even in
the Moving Diapason of Battle
Born Glory.

Running through the martial mu-
sic to which the spirit of the Ameri-
can people is attuned in the present
momentous struggle, there is a minor
cadence, a suggestion of tears. The
glory of great achievement cannot es-
cape from its shadow of grievlng
hearts.
Frank Finnegan of the Chicago
Chronicle, who has written some
clever verse, has touched this theme
deity in the following:
THE GUARDSMAN.
My brother Jim, he's in the regiment,
an he
Says he's goin' down to fight,
Soon as the soldiers ever start, an
gee!
Maybe they'll go tonight.
He's got suit just like a p'liceman,
too,
An soldier cap an gun,
He says they'll show the folks what
they can do;
He thinks it'll be fun.
But ma, she says she don't want him
Cause she's afraid, | guess.
An so, las night she was a-cryin' so,
When Jim said that unless
She'd want to have coward for
son,
He'd have to go an fight.
That seemed just like she never would
get done,
But cried, an cried all night.
An sis told jim if they went away,
She thought it was a shame,
An cried when Jim said t was
lucky day
To show that we are game:
Sis liked Jim in his suit an cap, an so
| thought she wouldn't care.
But She took on an cried just like as
though
He's going to die down there!
But pa, you know, he never said
word,
Just like he couldn't talk,
But just shook hands with jim, like
this, real hard,
And went to take a walk;
An bimeby l went out to try an
The kids, you know, an do
Something, an pa was walkin' up
the street,
An he was cryin' too!

rican officers TO this port the occasion

bic the size of the officers club rooms

Two hundred cards will be furnish
ed to each officer to be used in re-
ceiving the visitors. Major Jones,
Captain Ashley and Captain C. B.
Cooper were appointed committe
to get them up. Captain T. B. Muir
ray was appointed a committee of one
to engage the Quintette club for the
season. They will be required to
play on the lanais of the BungaloY
every evening until further notice.
Other music will also be employed if
found necessary.
Visiting officers will not be allow
ed to pay for anything they may re-
quire here. Order books will be fur
nished to the local officers and they
will issue to the visitors, or merchan-
ants for the visitors. cash checks for
the amount of purchases.

white heat.

There is by no means an agreement as to

10000 viii be needed for the invasion Of

purpose Of saving to Spain her colonial

For war with Spain we should not need
more than the 100000 troops which We

even if we should decide to take posses

If the President were apprehensive of trou-

II may be that While not expecting trou-
bic with another Power he thinks it ad
visable to prepare for any emergency that

600 men and navy composed of a few
battleships and cruisers. The demand for
a larger army and a powerful navy will DC
too strong TO be resisted. And there will
be more enthusiasm in militia circles than
there has been for many years. There will
be more than 10000 well drilled young
from widely different localities they wi.
become drill masters and advocates of the

even if it should be over in a few months

DIR. swallow a Cnndidate.

The Prohibitonists of Pennsylvania have
pinned their faith to DR.. Swallow again.
They have made him their candidate for
Governor. Last year he was a candidate
for state treasurer and out of the $50 600
votes cast he received 1S,OO0 In view of
the fact that the Prohlbitionists have
only about 10000 votes in Pennsylvania.
his vote was an extraordinary large one
so large, In fact, that it alarmed the Re-
publican leaders. The state is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, and Senator Quay owns
the Republican machine. The great ma
jorty of the votes cast for DR.. Swallow
last year were Republican votes. They
were the votes of men who are tired of
Quay's rule.
What are DIR. Swallows chances this
year? 1t is not probable that he will be
elected, but he will get a larger vote than
he did last year. He may run so close to
the Republican candidates as to cause a
revolt against Senator Quay.
DR.. Swallows increased vote will not be
due 10 an increase in his popularity, but
TO the speeches which Mr. Wanamaker
has been making throughout the state for
month or more. Mr.. Wanamaker wants
to be the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, but his ambition Will not be graft
fed He has told the people that Re
publican politics in Pennsylvania under
the Quay regime is rotten to the core. and
he has produced some evidence which has
arrested the attention of the people. It is
pretty certain that Quay's candidate will
be nominated. and that will give DR.
Swallow chance. 1t would not be sur
prlsing if he should poll 200, coo votes. Re
publicans who would not vote for Dem
ocrat. however good a man the Demo-
crat might be, will vote for DR.. Swallow.
If the Democrats make first class nomi-
nation they may be victorious DR.. Swal-
low ought to draw enough Republicans
away from the Republican candidate to
permit of the election of the Democratic
candidate. The Pennsylvania campaign is
certain to be an interesting one.

The gold storage space is ten feet high, ten
