trouble for the Republican majority.

bower got majority Of three, while the
other candidates lost by about 200 The
local ticket was defeated except ]. P.
Ranney, ]. F. Hall and Miss Boyle, the
candidates for Probate Judge, District

lacked over 100 votes of beating Reming-
ton for Representative.
Two years ago when the Populists were
defeated there was nothing left but the
Senate The session Of 1895 developed
two men who became prominent candi-
dates for Governor. One Of them won
and the other lacked but few votes Of
becoming United States Senator. The
same condition exists now. Will history
repeat itself, and If so, who will develop
as Leedy and King did?
The new State Printer will likely be
from the west. 1t will either be Billy
Morgan, Of the Hutchinson News, or
Charley Lands, of the Osborne Farmer.
Morgan has the Seventh district behind
him, and 1t has the most Representa-
tives, but 1t also has the Governor, State
Superintendent and State Treasurer.
Lands can rustic a respectable number
Of Representatives in the big Sixth and
has the advantage because that district
got no State officer on the Republican
ticket. From Republican standpoint
either would be good selection. Both
are hard party workers and all around
good fellows. So is Arthur Capper, who
has faculty of knowing how to get

any introduction, arrived by the
Doric from japan or China this

the inspector in charge thus: II
will give you thousand dollars
if you find anything in either of
those trunks" The Inspector said
nothing but made only a slight
search knowing full we'll the
truth of the words that had jus t
been spoken to him. Mr.. Brown
said he did not known how long
he would remain in Honolulu. :.

Report, dated San Francisco, June

nation:

of the holdings is average, we ex
pect buyers will soon be in the
market, particularly as fine grade
Guatemslss are scarce.
The new crop Central America
is not due before January, which
gives ample time to dispose of
present stocks at fair prices. 1t
Is useless to push sales as there is
a large overstock of coffee in all
markets of the world and sales
cannot be free until these condi-
tons change.

no duty on Coffee, but one of lOc.
