Captain Oliver Phelps was One
of These.


1t takes an unusual amount of
personal pride and patriotism to
make a good soldier in time of
war. There must be a high ap-
probation of the good opinion of
others to enable soldier to bear
the fatigue of long marches, the
duties of camp-life. its depriva-
tions and monoteny; to endure the
tedious and dreary night watches.
dangerous picket duties; to brave
the dangers of disease and the suf-
fering of actual battle. Now mark
how all of these were undergone
by West Virginia soldiers Cap
tain Oliver Phelps was one of these.
There he was faithful to every
trust, and will be equally faithful
if elected to the State Senate
His supporters, who have nominal
ed him, believe that the men who
stood behind the guns in time of
war, should have the front seat IN
time of peace. What say yon, sol
diers, men who served through the
war with him, and now ike him
have lived on and grown gray?
Give him who served his country
as a soldier in time of war, an OPP
portunity to serve his State as a
Legislator. in time of peace. Vote

our state and aspires to represent
you In the q. S. Congress.
Look at your condition, and COM
pare it with what these men tell
you, then ask youself if you can trust
a man or a party that deliberately
undertakes to make you believe
that you are prosperous when you
ks,ow you are not?
If you are not prosperous, what
does your party promise you more
than you already have? Do they
promise anything more than to
maintain existing conditions?
They told us two years ago, that,
if they were successful. they would
maintain the then existing Gold
STANDARD until an international
agreement could be reached on the
money question. They repealed
the Wilson Tariff Bill and passed
a protective tariff law, which has
now been in effect for sixteen
months. These were the issues
upon which the parties divided in
the last election. The Republi-
can party was successful and has
carried out its promises in every
thing except the restoration of
prosperity, which they assured US
would follow from their success:
and which they are now endeavor-
ing to make us believe has actual
ly come to us. The only people
who have been able to discover
this prosperity, so far as we have,
been able to learn, are men with
pull, like who con sell the govern.
ment 100000 tons of coal at
dollar ton more than was
asked by other operators, and
the men who are seeking Office at
the hands of the voters and whose
success depends upon their ability
to deceive the people in regard to
their true condition. What we
say to the ms;aer applies with equal
force to almost all other classes of
labor.
Compare your condition of labor
today with what it was in 1892.
the year to which Republican
speakers SO proudly point as the
banner year of prosperity for the
laborer; then remember that at
that time we had not only pro-
tective tariff law, (the Mckinley
Billy but also the Sherman law
had then been in effect about two
years which was putting nearly
$50, 100000 of silver certificates in
circulation every year. Which
year now, in your judgment, do
you. think was best for the working
man? The year when we had
both protective tariff law and
silver law which rapidly increased
the amount of money in circula-
ton, or the present year when we
have the protective tariff law and
no silver law of any consequence.
Voters, is the success of your
party dearer to you than your own
personal welfare2 Is your party
dearer to you than your family
than the sweet children who look
to you for present protection, and
whose future condition depends
largely upon your vote?
If you have been deceived by
your party. or if you find your
party leaders are trying now to de-
ceive you, teach them lesson
when you go TO the polls which
they will not soon forget and
which will be of great benefit both
to yourself and your party in all
future elections.

VIII TOuch at Honolulu

WASHINGTON, December 29.-The
warship Mohican, which has been thor
Oughly overhauled at the Mare Island
Navy Yard, has been turned over to the
training service and will be put in COM
mission about January 10th under COM
mand of Commander Bern, lately
commander of the Marion. Most Of the
officers Of the latter ship will be trans
ferred to the Mohican. This ship is to
receive about $50 apprentice boys on
the Pacific coast, and probably will
start with them about the middle of
January on a cruise around the world.
According to present plans some time
will be spent among the South sea ISL
ands, where the American navy has not
been represented to any extent since
1888.

Treaty Are Good.
INFL LUENCE OF EASTERN CRISIS

INFLUENCE OF EASTERN CRISIS

WASHINGTON, December 2S.-Sen-
ator Cullom said in an interview today:
Affairs in China and the East have
put an entirely different complexion
upon Hawaii's prospects for annexa-
ton. Since Congress adjourned for the
holidays there has been a marked
change of sentiment concerning Ha-
waii, and it would not surprise me if
the pending treaty should be ratified by
the necessary two-thirds of the Senate.
1t would be the height Of folly to let
such an opportunity slip as Hawaii
presents to the United States at such a
critical time Here is a most desirable
piece of property only waiting for a
nod from Uncle Sam to become his own
without the firing of a gun or the preci-
pitating Of any trouble. AS soon as
Congress meets we will get at the
treaty, and my impression is that a
number of Senators who have hitherto
been counted against the ratification
will be found on our side. 1t has al
ways been my opinion that we ought
to have Hawaii, and | am confirmed in
this belief more than ever by the re-
cent course of events in the Orient"

TRADES COUNCIL APPROVES.

Mr.. Fitzgeraid's WORK for Annexa-
tiOn Endorsed.
The Examiner of December 81 says:
The Building Trades Council have in
dorsed the actions of Labor Commits
sioner E. L. Fitzerald in urging at
Washington, D. c., on their behalf the
annexation othe Hawaiian Islands, ad-
vocating the eight hour labor law, sup
porting the anti-immigation bill and
striving to have a clause inserted in
the specifications for the new post
office in this city requiring that all the
stone be dressed in San Francisco.
Incidently Mr. Fitzgerald defended
himself against the attacks of certain
local papers and the council renewed
it's advocacy of Hawaiian annexation
in a series of very strong resolutions.

SHERMAN TO RETIRE.
Ambassador Hay Likely to Succeed
Him as Secretary.

Ambassador Hay Likely to Succeed
Him as Secretary.
WASHINGTON, December 30.-It is
probable that Secretary Sherman will
retire in the new year, in which event
he will be succeeded by Ambassador
Hay. The aged statesman had intend
ed to retire some time ago, and would
have done so had not the newspapers
demanded it imperatively. Now that
the storm is over, however, he has de-
cided to give up the cares of office.
The somewhat Independent actions
Of J. w. Foster have produced a meas
ure of friction between that gentlemen
and the head of the State Department,
while Sherman's failure to comprehend
Lord Salisbury's notes on several oc-
casions has produced the impression
in Government circles that it is wise
in view OF impending affairs in the
East, that there should be at the head
Of the State Department an officers bet
ter able to deal with foreign affairs, &C,
cording to diplomatic usage.
Colonel Hays experience fits him fol-
this position, and he and the President
are in correspondent in regard to the
matter.

Russia and China Have Had Negotia-

BERLIN, December 30.-The Tage-

and China have been negotiating for
many months; that China consented
last October to a temporary Russian
occupation of Port Arthur, and that
England. hearing of this, demanded a
cession of the islands at HOngkong, a
strip of coast opposite Kow Loon and
the mouth of the river Canton, but,
knowing that France also wanted COM
pensation, England suggested that she
should take Hal Nan island.
The Tageblatt says Prince Henry of
Prussia will visit the Mikado and the
King of Korea. It's Keil correspondent
saws a further force of marines will
start for China in January.
According to the Neuste Nachrichten

all responsibility for Germanys policy
in China. but he approves it and wishes

other hand, the negroes prefer to keep
to themselves as a rule, Gail Hamilton
cites the case of a church, erected by
northern settlers in Virginia, to which
the negroes were invited, but they
declined, preferring their own inferior
house.
The Independent IN. " recently said
that the Negro Presbyterians of the
South, have of their ows choice, separ-
ated from the white Presbyterians.
The whites like it and the negroes pre-
fer it. The racial instincts work even
at the foot of the Throne. The In
dependent adds: 1T is very nice, even
if it is not Christian
1t is we'll known that young
Englishman, living in the States is
excluded from any political promotion,
as rule, simply because he is a Brit
Usher. An American would fare the
same way in England. or France.
In political and social life, the
racial instincts generally exclude the
use of reason, and although they may
remain dormant, under ordinary cir
cumstances, they will become fierce
and unreasonable, when excited, with
out regard to education, religion or the
proper conduct of life."

JOHN I. CAMPBELL.
Taken to Hospital But is not Ser.
iOusly Hurt.

John T. Campbell of the Hoaeae
ranch, was brought up on the train last
evening and taken to the Queens Hos
pital. He had been severely hurt in an
accident with young horse and brake.
Mr.. Campbell was driving the colt in
paddock with a man standing by to as
sist. The animal suddenly bolted for
gate, which was partly open. Mr..
Campbell shouted to the helper TO close
the gate, but the order could not be ex-
ecuted in time. The brake struck a
post and the occupant landed on the
ground with considerable force. He
was cared for as soon as possible and
the wounds given temporary dressing.
At the hospital 1t was found that
Mr.. Campbell had bad cut on the chin
and above one eye and was bruised not
a little. He will soon be able to be
about, but will not be entirely we'll for
some time. AS the accident was de-
scribed, the conclusion is reached that
it was little less than a marvel no
bones were broken.

There is a prospect that Blanche

say that she has had several fiattering
offers and that she believes she can
benefit herself by change. Mr.. Fraw-
ley says Miss Bates is not appreciated
on the Coast as she should be, and
recommends her to take the move. Tt

the company this spring. He expects
to go East in April accompanied by
