Red Cross Society Pre-.
pairing for Service.
viii Be Ready for Next Expedition.
Headquarters - Need The
Blue Ribbon Benefit.

Red Cross headquarters viii be in
the new Irwin building Of lower Nuu-
anu street, near Merchant, instead OF
in the Masonic Temple. Rooms in the
upper floor have been fitted. Furniture
was secured by Mrs. \. Fuller and
Mrs. F. R. Day. Everything required
for the Quitting Of the place was
cheerfuny given by merchants. Some
officer Of the society will be at the
place now every day. Callers viii be
welcome, especially ladies who are
willing TO do some sewing. There are
to be made a large number Of band
ages such as physicians recommend
for men new to warm countries.
The Honolulu ladies Of the Red
Cross only regret now that the organi-
cation was not in existence when the
first expedition en- route to Manila was
here. 1t is learned that quite num-
be of men could have been given at
tention that would have been very
valuable. 1t is now proposed to have
the sick men ashore while the ships
are being cOaled and cleaned. In nine
teen cases out of twenty a man who
has been i'll on the way down viii go
forward from here entirely recovered
if he can have a day or two Of treat
ment in town.
1t is the intention Of the ladies Of
the society to be careful with such
funds as they may have. Some money
will be needed. The attention of the
public is called to the Red Cross boxes !
about town and all are reminded that
the smallest sum will help. Other do
nations that will be acceptable will be
bedding, towels, netting, flannel, sew
ing material All these may be sent |
to Mrs A Fuller. The thoughtful
effort of all ladies interested is soil |
cited.
At the meetings held yesterday aft |
ernoon various plans were discussed.
The offer of the Blue Ribbon Cyclic
mere meet was accepted with warmest
thanks of Brule Waring & Co., and the
gentlemen who have volunteered to
ride. The Regiments and HOnOlulus
have offered to play a benefit ball
game for the Red Cross fund and this
will be accepted. Colonel Allen was
thanked for the offer Of the use of
room in the Masonic Temple, but the
present headquarters place was con-
sidered to be better adapted.
The first outside work Of the ladies
who are enlisted under the banner OF
the Red Cross will be to sell 1000 tick
cts for the CyclOmere Blue Ribbon
race meet and to sell tickets for the
benefit baseball game. Another pro-
posal made for the upbuilding of the
fund was to give a patriotic concert at
the Opera House. This may be done
later. Mrs Irwin and Mrs. Ballou
have several other plans under con-

The Hon Thomas G. Platt denies
with good deal of heat that there is any
ground for the stories circulated by the
Democrats that he is untrue to the
Roosevelt ticket, and declares that the
election of Roosevelt is sure beyond the
shadow of a doubt, Undoubtedly the
stories were put in circulation, like the
canvasses pointing to the election of Van
Wyck, to affect the class that have no
political convictions but like to be on the
winning side, and there is no reason to
believe that they had any good founda-
ton. 1t is probably true that Roosevelt
was not Platt's first choice for governor,
and that be accepted him virtually be-
cause he had to. But having accepted
him there is no reason for believing that
he is not supporting him Loyalty and to
the best Of his ability.

CURRENT COMMENT.
AMERICAS DEMAND FOR PHILIP
PINES.
(Burling ION Free Press)

The American Peace Commissioners in
Paris have cast the die of territorial ex-
pansion by demanding from Spain all OF
the Phiii pine Islands 1t is true that the
asperity of the demand is softened some.
what by the conditions, although with
the anti.imperialists the latter fact Will
afford slight comfort According to the
latest auyioes from Paris our commission
ers have allowed the Information to per-
colate from the halls of negotiation that
while the United States Is determined not
to assume the military debt saddled upon
the islands by Spain in vain sffort to
suppress the Philippine revolution, they
may allow the Spanish indemnify for the
loss of their possessions. The proposition
to pay Spain for the islands which we
propose to take from her is in itself an
ncknow dgement that we have DO right
to the entire group and q Republication Of
the claim that we have gained possession
of all the islands through our occupation
of the capital city of the colony.
But granting that the payment of an
indemnity of $40. 600, 900 to Spain for the
loss of her facifc possession rs proposed
relieves the demand of it's harshness, that
fact does not lessen the perils for the
American people involved in the anuexa.

side of the globe. 1t will not diminish
the size of the army and navy which the
United States will be compelled to keep
in that distant part of the world. 1t will
not mitigate the military dangers attend
ing our possession of territory which can !.
not be defended from a foreign foe with
out immense outlay. 1t will not solve
the problems of government of half civil
lized millions 1t will not harmonic
our new policy of territorial expansion
in the old world with the Monroe doc
trine.
Our offer of money indemnity to
Spain for the loss of the Philippines will
merely serve to reconcile Spain and other
nations to the idea of our depriving the
SpanIards of the territory involved and

Hawaii used to be stimulated by repre-
senting that England was lying in am
bush to seize these islands, or that Japan
was plotting to all them with her SUBJ
jects preparatory to gobbling them up
herself, and every body recollects too that
there WAS no solid basis for either Of
these representations. This may not be
true in the case If the Philippines. Rus
STA and Germany may really have some
designs there, but there ia no very good
evidence OF 1t yet.

The Maine Farmer would enjoy a dis
cussion oil the Australian ballot law with
the DAILY PRESS, upon the merits OF
the question, not upon the basis OF mis-
representation. If the PRESS succeeds
in bull ing public sentiment by garbled
and false Statements, it will be short
lived in its influence. To this level OF
partisan politics the Farmer will not
stoop, while counting frank, free, open
discussion of this or any live question OF
the day.-Maine Farmer.
This is found in one column OF the
Maine Farmer this week. In another
column is found this:
The ultra party press seeing only pres
emit results, defends the law, because I'M
der no other system have the ward poll
ticians been able to hold such control
over the floating vote, while the enor-
NOUS expense attending it's intricate ma
chinery is lifted from their shoulders and
placed upon the State and towns and
cities.
Now the Farmer knows, II it knows
anything, that the statements in this
paragraph is not in aLcord with fact,
but quite the reverse. The Bangor Whig
Is as much entitled to be classed as one
of the "ultra party press" as tho PRESS
or Kennebec journal. So is the Water
vile Mail, the Bridgton News, the Rock
land Star and the Bath Enterprise, all OF
which oppose the law, and have been re-
producing with commentator the Far
mer's screeds on the SUBJECT. The Ban
gor Wing boosted only few days ago
that but three newspapers in the State
were defending the law. How then can
the Farmer say that the ultra party
press is ohampioning the law. But not
only does it allege that the ultra party
press is championlng the law which 10
not true, but it also undertakes to give
the motive of that championship, which
is Ito quote it's language) "beoause un-
der no other system have the ward poll
ticians been able to hold such control over
the floating VOTE" Thus our courteous
agricultural contemporary, which is 80
awfully polite that it cannot carry on
controversy with the PRESS, deliberate
ly asserts without any proof whatever
that the newspapers that are supporting
this law are doing it for the ignoble pur :
pose of enabling the ward politicians to
control the floating vote. That's the
Farmers idea of discussing the question
upon its merits and not upon the basis
of Misrepresentation" The truth of the
matter is that no paper in the State has
so habitually violated courtesy or so per-
sistently misrepresented the facts OF the
case in it's discussion Of this question as
the Maine Farmer. It began 1t by intt-
mating that all the friends of II secret
ballot either lacked true manhood or
were sneaks, (this was before Mr..
Manley's tribute to the secret bal
lot was brought to light) it greatly
overstated the expense of the sys
tenn, and though the Lewiston Jour-
nal has furnished the figures it has
persistently neglected to correct It's
exaggeration, and now 1t ia alleging what
ia manifestly not the fact that all the
ward politicians are in favor of this bal
lot law After it clears the beam out OF
its own eye 1t may with some sort OF con-
sistency go about casting notes out of its
contemporaries eyes.

The meidlIng Of Russia or Germany in
the Philippine matter would undoubtedly
strengthen the hands of those who favor
the permanent holding of these islands
in this country. National pride would
be aroused, and great many people who
now are opposed to having anything to
do with these islands would withdraw
their opposition on the ground that it
was necessar TO annex them to show that
we were not trucking to Germany or
Russia. This is SO well understood that
the advocntes of permanent retention
would be only too glad to see q foreign
power threaten to take hand in the bus
mess, and some of them, we suspect,
would not be above trying to create the
Impression that foreign interference was
threatened whether there was any
ground for it or not. Everybody recollects
hew the sentiment for the annexation Of

There can be no question but there is
unusual activity in England's navy, and
that her war ships are being rapidly put
in condition for active service. What it
all means can only be conjeotured, and
material for conjecture even is not album
dant. The Fashoda incident is closed. SO
there is no occasion to apprehend war
on that account. The relations between
Russia and Great Britain are supposed to
be have been practically arranged some
time ago. There are rumors that France
will try to get up concert Of the powers
to demand of England a statement of her
policy regarding Egypt, whether she pro-
poses to hold it indefinitely or not, 1t may
be that this has started England's prepar.
alton. With her gigantic fleet cleared and
ready for action, the inquisitiyeness of
the other powers would be likely to di-
1nir1ish and their insistance on her an
sweriug become less vigorous.

People in certain sections of Maine are
urring that changes in the present BAL
lot law be made by the legislature this
winter. The best way Is to let the law
alone. so that the voters may become ia

vote correctly after time. 1t Is fact

beauty of the little town in which the
gathering was held. He had plenty oil

surprise the inscription on It: "A
Lawyer and an Honest Man" The
delegate scratched his head and looked
at the monument again. He read the
inscription over and over. Then he

In the early morning as soon as you
awake to consciousness, remember that
you are in the very presence chamber
of God, who has been watching beside
you through the long, dark hours; look
up into His face and thank Him. Con-
secrate to Him those first few mo-
ments before you leave your couch.
Look ON towards the coming day,
through the golden haze Of the light
that streams from the angel of HIS
presence. You can forecast very large
ly what your difficulties are likely 10
be, the quarters from which you may
be attacked, the burdens that may need
carrying. Take care not to view any
of these apart from God. Be sure that
he will be between you and them, as
the ship is between the traveller ana
the ocean, be it fair or stormy.-Rev.

The report OF the British consul In
Denmark indicates that 1897 was q
very prosperous year for that country.
An interesting table contained in the
report shows that the amount of for
eign trade per head done by Denmark
amounts to ZIG kroners. She, there
fore, stands second only to Great Brit
ain, which is credited with 339 kro'
ners per head, France coming next.
with 145 kroners. while Germany
stands fourth, with only 14A kroners,
Great Britain continues to be a very
large customer of Denmark, and Eng
lish farmers will regret to hear that
the export trade in butter and eggs
Is steadily on the increase. During the
past year the exports of butter amount
ed to $500, 900 pounds, an increase OF
12.140O0O pounds over those Of 1896
while the shipments of eggs were con-
siderably larger, no fewer than H.
100000 scores being exported, as
against 100000 scores in the previous
twelve months.

This work will inspire a love for the

An experiment has been made IN
England which has resulted IN proving
that bees fly faster than carrier pig
cons, in fact, that little, Insignificant
looking, hot-footed bee can beat tae
handsomest pigeon home. In I'VE cases
out of six. This being the case. the
future must witness the supplanting OF
carrier pigeons by carrier bees. The
latter have much to recommend them
for this purpose. A carrier bee will
be hard to hit. A marksman that
would bring down a pigeon would ut
terly fail to hit bee. Then there is
nothing in q pigeons tail to inspire
the respect of a foe. There Is IN a
bees. The rude hand OF the trifier
that would try to stop the carrier bee
in his errand would be withdrawn sud
denly-end rubbed vehemently. With
the aid Of Micro-photography, the car
rying of long messages by bee would
be a matter presenting no obstacles.
A column Of reading matter could be
fastened to it's thighs, and long dis
patch affixed to one Of its feet.
