FIRST DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.

The Congressona, convention OF our
Ren1blican friends in this district at
tie Park yesterday, although held amid
delightful and soothing surroundings
that stood as q silent rebuke to the
display of unseemly passions, neverthe-
less gave rein to these elements that
made an inharmonious, ill-tempered,
ouarrelsome, ugly-disp3 sitioned and al
together dissatisfied body which fought
with itself from start to finish and
wound up apparently highly disguised
with the results of it's own labors.
Those results were very few and ac-
complished either amid dead silence
in the most perfunctory way. or else to
the accompaniment of loud and bel
llgerent utterances that savored OF
free-for-all- bar-room SCRAP"
Dovener was nominated according to
Encouragement by reclamation, but
preliminary row over Tylers delega-
ton was carried from the committee
into the open convention, and devel-
oped the interesting fact that despite
the nomination of Dovener by acclama-
ton Judge Campbell had very strong
following everywhere in the convention,
which wanted only the semblance of an
opportunity to kick over the traces and
throw all the Dovener fat into the fire.
The Platforms utterly devoid of orig
inality and it's reading fell upon the
convention with dull thud. The en-
dorsement OF Atkinson's administration
caused delegates to look furtively at
one another anu blush, while the plank
condemning the last Democratic ad-
mir istration for extending the app,ica-
lion of the civil service rules met the
sullen approval of all the spoilsmen
present-and the whole convention was
composed of that class.
The dirty Hawaiian job was endors-
ed amid a silence that seemed either to
denote a guilty conscience on this point,
or a general ignorance of the ill Effects
and deplorable example of anneXing
these islands with their highly undesir-
able population out in the centre of the
Pacific ocean. The convention dis
played it's gross ignorance of the SUBJ
ject by intimating that their annexa-
ton was necessary in order to secure a
point Of vantage for the defense of this
country. However, it would probably
have made no difference in the en-
dorsement of the convention if it's men,
bers had known all about the inner
secrets of this politico-speculative-
job, for the average Republican poll
tlcian doesn't feel at home unless en-
gagged in some sort of jobbery.
Altogether, the First district Repub-
lican convention did not give one the
impression that it thought it was NAM
ing winning candidate or putting up
a winning platform. And 1t wasn't.
Its platform is made of rotten timbers
ard it will not hold up our friend Cap
tain Dovener, who is destined to be de-
feated by Democrat standing on a
sturdy American platform.

The Register urges that Americans
cannot. work under the tropical sun OF
knowledge that. the climate of the Ha-
waiian islands is one of the most salu-
brious in the world and the Americans
who are there describe it as healthgiv-
ing.-Intelligencer
The climate of Hawaii is, indeed
most healthful and salubrious, but it is,
also, true that white men cannot stand
it to work on the sugar plantations
there under the hot sun. Our neighbor
should know that climate, which may
be very delightful and healthgiving to
Americans sojourning in it, may be
totally unfit for them to labor in as the
hands ON sugar plantation. For ex-
ample, the climate of Cuba may be very
delightful and salubrious for Idle
American travellers, but it is deadly to
our soldiers working in the trenches.

the Porto Rican expedition of $4,000

The presence of few cases Of what
appears to be yellow fever within our
lines at Santiago de Cuba need cause
no serious alarm. Army camps are
under so strict discipline that 1t will
not be very difficult for the doctors to
stamp out the disease. The discovery
will have at least one good effect,
namely, in hurrying up operations in
Cuba, which effect has been already
noticeable at Washington.

Editor Pecksniff complains that the
wicked Register has abused him. When
ever Pecksniff is caught red handed at
any of his tricks and exposed, he raises
his pious eyes and claims he Is being
abused. How like Pecksniff Register.
The individual referred to isn't con-
cerned about how much personal abuse
the Register desires to indulge in. If the
Register is content to adopt the language
Of the slums, or to pursue any other
method that respectable newspapers
avoid, it i"iures 10 one but itself. The
readers of the newspapers are not inter-
ested in personalities. They are interest
ed in the discuss'on of public questions
on their observation-disclosures
To this spontaneous outburst of some
one, who Las put on the shoe unasked,
the Register can only respond that it
has in mind no individual in referring
20 the Intelligencer by the name of
Dickens's famous hypocrite, which it
simply uses to fittingly characterize
the most prominent trait exhibited by
the Intelligencer in it's attitude toward
affairs in general and politics in par
ticular.

urging Of all the world whose nstiona

has bravely resisted to the utmost.
TO further continue the altogether
unequal struggle would be, as we have
said, wanton sacrifice OF life and

In brief, Spain is whipped, and If
her honor be not amply INDICATED now,
nothing can vindicate it short OF utter

mo man" says Mr.. CLARK, who haa
any reputation for veracity win jeopar.
die 1t by denying that cody slavery
does exist in the Sandwich Islands to-
day as thoroughly as African slavery
ever did exist in South Carolina or in
Massachusetts up to the time when 1:
was found to be Improbable on that
stern and rock bound coast. Fnther-
more, men of intelligence know that
Chinese slavery Is more brutal and
more immoral than was African slav-
cry in It's worst estate, even in Massa-
chusetts."
Speaking of the opposition Of Amer
lean labor to the annexation job, Mr..
Clark says:
Perhaps it may quicken the consciences
open the eyes and dampen the ardor OF
certain jingoes here to know that organ
aHCu ldOOI 10 dSdlISL Tie duuSAdLlOIl
scheme. This element, which justly looks
to its own interests. and which is more
and more every year finding ways to
make its influence felt, opposes this Ha-
waiian job under the impulse of self
preservation, whicha has been wisely de-
fined as 1.-The first law of nature" The
labor organizations of California, being
at the point of earliest contact and being
the first who would suffer from compe-
tition with cody slave labor were very
properly the first to sound the alarm.
They were soon REINFORCED by an earnest
protest from the American Federation of
Labor, which demonstrates that work
ingmen throughout the land sympathize
with their imperilled brethren on the Pa
cific slope.
The federation places its strong resolu-
ton against annexation on the ground
that it would be tantamount to the ad-
mission of a slave State, the representa-
tives of which would necessarily work
and vote for the enslavement of labor in
general"
But with a Republican administra-
ton and Republican Congress the
behest of the Sugar Trust proved far
more powerful than all the protests
which the representatives of American
labor could put ON paper. And yet the
Republican party impudently flaunts
in the faces of the American people as
their chief principle and slogan, "Pro-
lection to American labor!"
In the name Of just Heaven what
kind OF protection to American labor
is 1t to pit American workingmen on
equal terms against Chinese slave
labor! Can any of the apologists for
the Hawaiian infamy answer?
