Record.
Minister Conger will have a long journey from
Rio to Picking If he goes east it will be twenty
one days to London, thirty days from there 10
Ticn-Tsin, and il was formerly four days from
Ticn-Tsin to Peking by the Peiho River but the
railroad IS now completed and the journey can
be made in from five to six hours He can
shorten this time n little by taking the French
steamer from Rio de Janeiro through the
Straits OF Gibraltar to Marseilles and there
transferring to another vessel Of the same line
which Will carry MIN to Shanghai, making the
journey in about fifty days But | suppose he
will want TO come home first To receive instruc-
tons and visit his friends. II is twenty-three
days from Rio to New-YOrk direct. or twenty
eight days by way OF England which Is much
more comfortable because the steamers are
larger and better provided. 1t takes SIX days
TO cross the continent. twenty days to reach
Shanghai from San Francisco three days from
there to TienTsin and one day more 20 Pekng
making altogether about sixty days in notion
without considering intervals Of rest. and from
sixteen to eighteen thousand miles in distance

MONDAY PRAYER MEETING.

Evangelist Clarence B. Strouse is ex-
pected to be present and conduct the ser
vices to day. In view of its being a holi
day and in anticipation of short talk by
Evangelist Strousea good attendance and
an interesting meeting will no doubt be
the result. AS previously stated, with
the new year beginning will be made in
the study CT Paul's letter OF the .ientiles
and the lesson for today will be the first
chapter of Romans. 1t is the desire of the
promoters Of these daily meetings, and
those mainly instrumental in sustaining
them for the past three years, that in the
future larger number of persons, saved
or unsaved, may partake of the rich spir-
ltual bless ngs that are so abondantly be-
slowed by IL merciful Heavenly Father Mt
these MONDAY services. A very large
majority of our men, regardless of occu.
patton, are so situated as to render it i'm
possible for them to attend such a meet
ing at the noon hour, but there are very
many who could so arrange their affairs
that they coult, at least he present occa-
sionally, if they felt so inclined. That
the MONDAY prayer meetings have been
successfully maintained for three years
under great many trying circums tances,
persons representing so many different
creeds mad religious views, with nothing
to hold it together save desire to be
filled with the love of God and to be
faithful followers of Jesus Christ, .suni-
cient within itself to commend these
meetings to every one. Attend the noon
day prayer meeting whenever opportunity
affords. God will bless you.

to organize q Republlcan cluD 7
Possibly Messrs. Morgan and
Kyle are as narrow minded as the
Advertiser gives them credit, but
we are not prepared to believe it
yet.
The Commission is now con
sidering "who shall vote" Our
contemporary would doubtless be
pleased to have the Commission
60 back to Washington without
receiving any request from an
organized body as to "who shall
vote" in Hawaii. This question
Of who the voters shall be is one
on which the majority of the
people of this territory can unite
today. They cannot be ga
thered under the American Union
party, they cannot be swung by
the missionary or anti missionary.
They can be united under a Re
publican organization that deals
honestly, and opens its campaign
for liberal government for Hs-
waii, a territorial government with
no high and gracious qualification
placed upon the right of the peo-
pie 70 speak at the local polls.
The time now is when the various
leaders of this country should de-
clare themselves for or against q
liberal local government.
Throughout it's history the Re.
publican party has been the cham
pion of the individual rights OF
American citizens. 1t was the
party that put the fual touches to
the freedom of all United States
citizens; it is the party that has
always fought the shotgun quail
ication policy of the Southern
States. The principles of the
Republican party appeal to every
citizen, except those who hope to
hedge the franchise rights of a
more unfortunate neighbor.
In all political movements,
the success of effort depends quite
as much upon organization as
upon the justice of the demands
made. The time is now ripe for
organization of a Republican party,
not to secure voters, but to secure
for the citizens of Hawaii the
right to vote, the right to control
local affairs, and freedom from the
centralized power that has been
the political curse of the country
in years gone by.
The time now Is when the in
fluences at work to make this a
second district of Columbia, and
recry stallize the policy of CENTRAL.
cation should be forced to fight in
the open aud not be allowed to
blind the popular eye with that
sweet but elusive policy MAHopE.

POLITICAL ORGANIZATION.

The remarks of the Advertiser
on political Parties" are simply
a reiteration of Mr.. Thurston's re.
marks at the Sharpshooters ban
quet. We would have mole faith
in the "wait till tomorrow" atti-
tn lie of the official organs il they
we're not so cautious, to degree
of silence, In the expression OF
opinion regarding the details of our
future government. 1t Is the old
story Of keeping quiet for fear Of
the influence any expression OF
opinion might have at Washing
ton. 1t is the old request that the
people keep quiet in order that the
high aud mighty who ride above
the m 10 may direct according
to their own sweet will.
If Senators Kyle and Morgan
oooperated with such success with
the Republican party in annex
ing Hawaii, they cannot be imbued
with the idea that Republican
organization is gathering OF men
whose suggestions must be shun
ned. Senator Kyle was a conser-
vative Populist before tue Repub
lican convention of 1896; 80 WAS
Senator Morgan a Democrat. Did
they desert the cause of anuexa .
ton, did they desert Hawaii be-
cause the Republican party de.
clared for the "Control Of the Ha-
waiian Islands ?" Are We to rs.
sumo with the Advertiser, that
these men are to give up theil
kind regard for the people of this
territory because some sinfuJ
