THE PRINCIPLES of the Declaration
of independence are termed by the jim
goes and expansionists ''glittering gen
eralities." The Constitution was termed
by the abolitionists compact with
death and league with hell" 1t is
TO be hoped that the fragrant violation
of the former may not prove as in
furious to this country as that of the
latter has turned out to be.

THAT General Brookethoroughly IN
derstands the true character Of the Gu
ban insurgents, is proved by the fact
that he will give them no official recoe-
milton whatever. and treats them as be
would the negro politicians of this
country. They are utterly incapable
of governing themselves, and General
Brooke, being perfectly aware OF that
indisputable fact, doesn't consider them
q factor in the settlement of affairs in
Cnha.

NOT THE PEERS OF WHITEs.-The
second and last day of the American
Negro Academy began yesterday morn
ing at the Lincoln Memorial Church,
Washington. 4 number of papers were
read. The closing session of the aced-
envy last night was the occasion for the
delivery of several addresses. G. G.
Cook spoke upon "The Entrance of
England and Japan Upon Their Pro-
sressive Stage" and its application to
the equilibrium between the white and
coiored peoples in America. The speak
er thought that nothing was more un-
wise than Tor the colored people to
match their strength against the whites,
for the latter always had the advan
tage. He believed that the negroes
should not attempt 10 maintain place
in nalioy a ;,r State politics. The speak
or expressed it as his opinion that the
colored race had neither the disposition
nor the opportunity to become ruling
power in the world, They lacked the
GOODNESS, The accuracy, the patience
and mercilessness OF a conquering peo-
pie, and they lacked the centuries of
prepa ration through warfare which the
dominant white race possesses. Though
the audience evidently was not in SYM
pathy with some of the views ad.
vauced, the entire address was listened
to with interest and attention.

the claimants have upon the admins

with the declaration of war against a

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.
What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
get better price for ii?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter. so that while our profits may DE
smaller on q single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them and
use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are GER.

ODDITIES OF A RICH WoMAN.-A
petition to appoint commission to in
quire into the sanity of Miss Alice Ham
ilton, a granddaughter of Alexander
Hamilton, just filed in New York, sets
forth the allegation that Miss Hamilton
is possessed by the strange hallucina-
ton that she is dead. She believes that
she ia a phantom, and that all these
around her are phantoms. Another de-
fusion, according to her sister, Miss
Adelaide Hamilton, is that she is lost
and must wander forever. She also
thinks that, being dead, she cannot
talk. Only after much persuasion and
great patience on the part of the cues
toner will she answer any question.
Miss Hamilton is now under treatment
at Pleasantville, N. Y. She is worth
more than 100000, and has life in
terest in several large estates. She is a
sister of General Alexander Hamilton,
of Tarrytown, whose wife in 1898
brought charges of insanity against him.
but afterward withdrew them. Miss
Hamilton is sixty-one years old.

CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN.

The sale of the Cape Fear and Yad-
kin Valley Railroad, under foreclosure
proceedings, which is set for to-day at
Fayetteville, n. c., will be watched
with interest by those interested in
southern railroads.
This property has been tied up by
litigation for about five years. Two
interests have been seeking to get con-
troll, and now it is understood that q
third interest has decided to bid for the
property. The Southern Railway Com
pany has been after one of the divisions
of the road, while the Seaboard has
made en- offer to take the whole proper-
ty. 1t is said that the Atlantic Coast
Line will probably make bid for the
two divisions not wanted by the South
ern, but as the property under the or
der of the court, must be sold as a
whole, the Southern and Atlantic
Coast Line interests could combine
their bids. The Baltimore reorganiza-
ton committee, which has prepared a
plan that has been assented to by q
majority of the outstanding bonds, has
an agreement with the Ses5oard to
lease the property.
Yesterday General John Gill re-
ceiver of the road, left to attend the
sale. He was accompanied by MIR. E.
J D. Cross, of the counsel for the Bal
timore committee, and Mr.. A. B. Turn
er, of New York, counsel for the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, OF
that city, which is the trustee for tho
mortgages on the property. Presi
dent Samuel Spencer, of the Southern
Railway. and representatives of the
New York committee will be present,
and it is expected that Mr.. Harry Wal
tiers, president of the Atlantic Coast
Line, will attend the sale. Mr.. Wm.R.

committee, will be present. Balti-

no AMERICAN FOURTH.
Committee Decides to Omit Celebra-
ton This Year.

Americans in Honolulu will hold
no observance of the Fourth of July
this year. That has been fully decid-
ed on by the committee. All of the
fireworks and enthusiasm will be re-
served for annexation day.
American Minister Sewall will hold
no reception on the Fourth. There
will not be a program of any sort at
Independence Park. The boat clubs
will likely give a dance somewhere In
the evening.
The Hawaiian committee will also
do practically nothing. There will
not be boat racing. In the forenoon
there will be a parade by the First
Regiment and in the afternoon horse
racing and pehaps baseball. 1t is not
unlikely that American troops will be
here on the Fourth, in which case the
events will naturally be enlarged
upon.

Electric
Company.

In the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.

this line and have just received lot Oh the
