TRUE SPORT.

Some remarks made in these col
nmns relative to amateur athletics
have called forth favorable comment
from all lovers of true sport. The
Honolulu amateurs want to get into
line with the best athletic organiza-
tons of the east and middle west
Probably nothing has done more
harm to amateur sport than bicycle
racing. 1t began with Offering med
ais, then it took to Offering bicycles,
and when a man had won three or
more bicycles he used TO sell them and
pocket the proceeds and then it event
ually came down to a purely money
transaction and a purse, and the anna
teur quickly degenerated into the pro-
fessional.
Then in games of football; these
were originally started without gate
receipts, they were free to any one
who cared to see the sport, but then
the mercenary spirit came in and the
gate receipts were charged first I'M
der the excuse of paying the expenses
of the teams and eventually a portion
went into the pockets of the teams
The dividing line between the anna

teur and the professional is this ques-
ton of money. The amateur goes in
for sport for the pure pleasure of it.
The professional goes into sport for
what he can make out of it. There is
nothing wrong in man getting an hon
est living out of his skill in athletics,
but if he chooses to do so he is not an
amateur. If man is fond of sport he
should be willing to pay for his own
amusement, he has no right to enjoy
his sport and get paid for it by some
one else.
So in our yacht and boat racing, no
one who is an amateur should race for
a money prize. 1T is all right for mon
ey prizes to he offered for the profess
sional oarsman, like the boat boys or
men-of-wars-men, but for others who
go in for the pure sport of the thing
there should be no prize other than
medal or cup. The ancient Greek
was a true sportsman, when he gave
NItdIu 10 lnt NlulltT VI lnG OlN Ill PIC
games.
Now there is true sport in racing for
the America cup. This cup itself is
of little value intrinsically, probably
not more than $3.50, but yachtsmen of
means have spent and will spend
thousands of dollars in constructing
and sailing yachts to try and win it,,
and to defend it. 1t is not a case of
value. but a case of honor.
And this should be the moving idea
of all sport. To the credit of our boat
clubs their great yearly race which IS
pulled on Regatta day, is purely for
the honor. \ simple silken banner is
all that marks the victor. Let true
amateurs do away with money prizes
and gate receipts and any form where
the mercenary spirit comes in, and
then athletics will rise to a proper
plane. There is nothing finer than
athletic skill. There is nothing more
elevating than witnessing a good race
or good game But strive as much
as possible to emulate the Greeks or
the America cup people. Lose sight
of value and go in for sport.

An illustration of American politics
is recalled by an old kamaaina. He
was in San Francisco when the Harri-
son victory was won. Of course there
were professions in celebration of the
event. He happened to be down town
when a big procession went by and as
they passed the balcony where he
was standing there was an extra toot
and yell of eXuberation. He turned to
mis- friend, one of the most prominent
Democrats in the city and said, what
was that for?" The Democrat said,
"That was for me; they know my line
of politics" But" said the Hawaii
an, zone would think they would not
do that to beaten man." at is all
right" said the Democrat, they have
won the election and have a right to
crow, but we are all good Americans
after all . nd that is the true secret
OF it. 1t is American shoulder
to shoulder; it is British shoulder to
shoulder; and the world will find that
it is Anglo-SaNon shoulder to Shout

The letter which is published today
referring to River Park shows that
the subject is one which a large num-
Der of people are interested in. The
reasons for the work not being done
are carefully discussed and are prob
ably very near the mark. The writer
is thoroughly well informed and has
talked the matter over with individual
members of the Cabinet.

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
in her step, the ring Of her voice,
her enjoyment of life-all these are
magnets which draw others to her
side. Wonderful and valuable as it
is, health is not so difficult a thing
to obtain as some discouraged ones
think. Most of the troubles Of women
arise from impure blood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality, and general
debility. Modern science furnishes
the most successful of remedies for
this onditiOn-namely

which admittedly have no
superiors. They are here in
all sizes, from the small one
for the family Of two, up to
the large size suitable for
hotels and boarding houses.
There is one feature we desire
to call particular attention to
in the
Alaska Refrigerator.
It is lined with mineral wool
and has an air chamber be-
tween this and the inside
lining, thus insuring economy
in the amount of ice required
to such! an extent that the
saving in the cost Of ice will,
in a short time, pay for the
refrigerator.
THAT is ECONOMY.
For those who are satisfied
with a less fancy receptical,
but just as good, we have the

small to one that holds five

Old accountants were not surprised
when it was found necessary to aban-
don the Dockery system of auditing
postmasters' accounts, because of dis
covered frauds. This system was
adopted during the Cleveland admin
istration as the result of an investiga-
ton by commission, headed by Rep
resentative Dockery Of Missouri, and
it was pointed out at the time that it
was full of opportunities for fraud.
No less than nine ways in which dis
honest postmaster could rob the Gov
eminent have been discovered by
Sixth Auditor Castle, who has thrown
out the system and introduced new
one. The new system was specially
intended to detect the frauds made
possible by the Dockery system and
although it has only been in opera
ton a week it has done SO in a num-
Der of cases. The Government was
probably robbed of many thousand
dollars under the Dockery system of
auditing P. o. money order accounts.
Auditor Castle will ask Congress to
authorize the employ ment of a special
force to go over and check up the old
accounts, believing that the stolen
money can be recovered, and the
thieves punished, by securing proofs
of the theftS.

A Case of Political Infantlclde.

The Bureau of Foreign Commerce
has just issued report calculated to
set thinking people to thinking.
Americans have invaded foreign
markets and have conquered. Not
only do we hold the supremacy of the
world in cereals, but manufactures OF
all kinds are placed in other lands on
terms which put competitors out OF
competition.
Mr.. Frederick Emory, the director OF
the Bureau, concludes that .sthe ability
of the United States TO compete sue
cessfully with the most advanced in
durtrial nations in any part of the
world, as we'll as with these nations in
their home markets can no longer be
seriously questioned"
McKinleyism is stricken in the house
of it's friends. We do "care for
abroad" We are even able to lido
up" the '.pauper laborer" is his own
home. The strong, robust, well-paid
workingman is, after all, a match for
his weak and poorly paid competitor.

SUBSCRIPTIONS to the governments
popular war loan closed at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The amount
asked for was 5000. 200. 900, and il
is estimated that the subscriptions
amount to nearly five times that sum.
The subscriptions for sums of $500 and
under are reported to approximate
$75, 900, 900.
The war loan has been a magnificent
success. The popular feature of bonds
of small denominations issued at par
has been thoroughly appreciated by
small investors. The fact that persons
of limited means were given chance
to subscribe has been a source of sat-
isfaction to the general public.
This splendid showing of the good
credit of the government is most graft
fying.-Jeferson City Tribune.
The fiction that tine 100000 of
such bonds reported as having been
subscribed for will go into the hands
of small capitalists for permanent in
vestment, is not accepted by any sensi-
BILE person. In fact, it will probably
turn out that the whole 5000, 900. 900
has really been taken for the benefit
of the same purchasers who would
have taken it if it had been offered for
public competition in the usual way,
and that all the benefit OF the new
method has been reaped by little spec
ulators, who will seize the first oppor-
tunity to capture 2 or 3 points prem

We publish above two views of the
recent bond issue. The Tribune seems
to think the bond issue a good thing
because it has enabled small Investors
to invest in government securities.
The Sans contributor bluntly says this
is nonsense; that the small investor is
a humbug; and calls attention to the
fact that national banks have put in
applications for the printing of large
blocks of national bank notes in adj
vance of the bond issue, as an evidence
that the national banks are ultimately
to have the bonds. Mr.. Marshall
might have added that no bond issue
would ever have been made If the ma
tional bankers and large capitalists
had been excluded from its benefits.
The Tribune does not know, perhaps,
that bond issue was part of the pro-
gramme of the present administration,
from the beginning. Perhaps the
Tribune really thinks that the small
investor is beneficiary of the present
bond issue. Perhaps Senator Cockrell
thinks so too. We should like to know
if the Tribune regards the present bond
issue as a necessity.

The Sugar Trust and Cuban War.

And so the merciful Spaniard, who
succeeded by the foulest treachery in
assassinatiug Maceo; who improves
his craftsmanship by throwing Cuban
babies into the air and shooting at
them on the wing; who compensates
himself for the hardships and priva-
tions of an arduous campaign by vio-
lating the wives and daughters of
Cuban insurgents; who deliberately
shot our own wounded while under
the protection of the Red Cross flag at
the recent fight at Santiago; who finds
it inexpressibly funny to hold a piece
of bread to a starving reconcentrado
and then jerk it away when the eager
hand of little child or a helpless
woman is extended for the life-giving

interests OF the American Sugar Trust
may not be compromised. The Re

gaus of that Saccharine corporation,
are satisfied, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that the whole object of the
Cubans is to loot; that these cowardly
rascals have driven the Spaniards to

wanted to indulge in wholesale rob-
berry; that they will not fight or work :;
that they are only good to devour

Died. at Bismarck, Mo-, July 18th.
1898, Miss Nellie F. Carney, aged 81
years and months.
The angel of death has again visited
the earthly household and taken from
our midst precious loved one. Many
happy hours have we spent with Nell
lie; we miss her sweet voice and low
ing smile, and know that none can fill
her place. Little did we think, dar-
ling Nellie. that you would be with US
so short a time. But now her suffer
ings are over; she has reached the
eternal home where there is no more
pain.
She has left US with the assurance
that she was glad to go home to Jesus
on the blessed Sabbath day.
Loved ones. in your sorrow remem-
Der that our loss ia her eternal gain.
and heaven is richer for her presence
there. Think of her as an immortal
flower taken from earth to bloom in
the .'sweet field of Eden"
"Oh call it not death, it is life begun,
The waters are crossed, the home is won;
The ransomed spirit has crossed the shore
Where they weep and sorrow and sin nc
more,
To depart from a world Of sin and strife,
And to be with Jesus! yes, this is hIe."

THERE is gentleman by the name
OF Schley and another by the name of
Sampson down in the ne:ghborhood of
Santiago. There is also Naval Board
in the city Of Washington. ID. c., that
knows enough about war to draw its
pay with regularity and promptitude.
The gentleman by the name of Schley
ran the Spanish fleet into the harbor
OF Santiago some time ago and wanted
to go in after it and bring it out under
the American flag or add it to the de-
bris at the bottom of the harbor. Civ
ing the Spanish their choice. To this
programme the gentleman by the
name of Sampson. aided and abetted
by the Naval War Board, said. ''Oh
no. the mines and torpedoes in the
harbor and the guns of the fortifica-
tions would pulverize the American
ships and play the deuce generally"
Mr.. Schley insisted that it would be
SAFER IOT the DdDN any
mine or torpedo in the harbor OF Santi-
ago than to become too familiar with
the tail OF the family cat. but he was
overruled, a large army was imported,
a battle was fought. some two thous-
and of our soldiers were killed or
wounded, the Spanish fleet being
meantime sent to rest by Schley, and
now it turns out that most of the guns
in the Notifications were about as eff
fective as those that guard Judge En-
erson's park and the mines and tor
pedoes, what there was OF them, were
hardly so effective as an ordinary fire
cracker. Consequently, Mr.. Schley
wears very self-satisfied look. Samp-
son looks bit foolish and the Naval
Board feels that press censorship is a
snare and delusion that lets important
secrets slip through it's fingers as water
goes through sieve.
