of Commodore Perry.
Gathering at Home of Chief Justice
Judd-Renarks and a Paper.
Comparisons.

a number OF compatriots OF the So
cieties of Sons of the American Revo-
luton and the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution gathered at the resi-
dence Of the President of the local
chapter, Chief Justice Judd, in Nuuanu
Valley, Saturday evening to honor the
anniversary of PeTry's victory on Lake
Erie. Mrs Judd is the Regent of the
Daughters Society in Hawaii.
President Judd opened the meeting
by some timely remarks on the histori-
cal Importance Of Perry's victory and
compared the great naval engagements
OF the war of 1912 with the sea fights
of the present day.
Secretary Atwater called the roll OF
the Society, showing 68 names.
Compatriot n. B. Emerson read a
most interesting paper describing the
battle of Lake Erie. He gave the de-
tails of the great fight, the size of the
armament and the vessels engaged, the
hardships endured by the heroic Amer
lean patriots; the bravery of COmmO-
dore Perry whose flagship was fore
most in the fight, engaging four of the
British vessels at one time; how Perry
was forced to leave his ship at last but
hoisted his pennant bearing the words
Of the gallant Lawrence Don't give
up the ship" on another vessel but a
few minutes later. Maps showing the
position of the British and American
fleets were shown. After the paper was
finished a brief discussion ensued and
then refreshments.

The Advertiser has never suggested
any candidate for Governor, and has
none. When Congress has passed laws
providing for the government OF this
territory, and it is known what the
political situation is, it will be quite
in order to talk about candidates. The

GENERAL sCHOFIELD's OPINION

Maj. Gen. Schoheld, in letter to Dir;
McGrew, dated in May last, referred to
the organization Of the volunteer army,
on unbusinesslike principles, and said
"But the spirit OF the times is to let
veterans stand aside on the retired list,
and give the boys a chance"
Only thirty-three years had passed
since the country had obtained vast
amount OF experience in the art of war
fare, at a cost exceeding that OF any
war OF the century. This year thou
sands of experienced soldiers, trained
in every detail OF the soldiers life,
were TO be had for the asking. Men
who had won their knowledge through
fire and sword stood anxiously waiting
to be called to the front.
But a new generation controlled and
expressed the enthusiasm Of the coun-
try. War was only legend to 1t. The
sufferings were not told. But the ex-
PLOTS OF its heroes were. The stories
OF assaults, and charges, and heroic
deeds were in all the books. The great
solemn books, filed with the CHASTITY
reports OF the surgeons were never
opened This generation hardly knows
that they were ever written. The ter.
rible side of the story was suppressed
by the historians, because the average
readers are not students of wars as
agencies in the progress of men. but
are merely novel readers looking FOL
thrilling adventures.
So when War came, with its grin
visage, this ignorant generation, evei
loyal and patriotic. welcomed 1t as q
friend that would lead II to glory and
adventure Even Sherman's aphorism
that war is hell" stood to it only as
a glittering generality.
There has been, in a sense, no war.
OF the great army Of 100000 men en-
listed, not 10000 have been under hot
fire. But the real horrors OF war, sick
ness and disease, have done their work
The generation that in the noblest OF
causes, precipitated it, becomes wiser
and sadder. What does 1t propose tC
do In the future about it? That is the
question.

MR.. M'STOCKER.
The Collector General Viewing
Hawaii Affairs.

(Hilo Tribune

Collector General McStocker arrived
in Hilo from the Volcano on Monday.
Mr.. McStocker has spent several weeks
at the large plantation in Kona, in
which he Is large stockholder. He
finds the progress of the plantation
very encouraging. Mr.. McStocker was
much surprised at the general excel
lence of the Olaa plantations. of which
he obtained a brief view as he came
through. He had been led to have an
erroneous opinion Of this district by
reports OF people who never saw it ex-
cept In their dreams. Mr.. McStocker
is OF the opinion that coffee will be
brilliant success on both sides OF the
island. This view and the fact that ha
has been strenuous advocate OF a new
custom house for Hilo causes him to
be looked upon by the denizens of our
town with a more kindly eye than IL
the average Honoluluite.

SOME CORRESPONDENTS.

The following letter, IL authentic, ex-
plains itself, and makes most valu-
able contribution to Hawaiian history.
president Mckinley to Cheerful
Idiot, ESQ.,
Washington, ID. c.
Dear Slr:-In rendering to you the
Office of Governor OF Hawaii l cordial
ly recognize your special qualifications
for high Office in a territory which. so
far as | can see, Is infested with most
peculiar people. You will perceive. by
the enclosed memorial, and account OF
my recent interview with represen-
tatiye committee, as 1t calls itself,
that our boundless empire contains no
similar lot of people. Even the In
dams of Alaska, and the lowest class
OF negroes have never publicly de-
clared their own incompetence to fur
nish capable and acceptable man for
high local Office.
Assuming, reluctantly, that the me-
mortal represents the views of the ma
jority Of people in Hawaii, | do, with
out the slightest hesitation, tender to
you the Office of Governor OF that ter
ritory. Your natural gifts, your edu-
cation and social connections, will Sc
cure to you the most cordial welcome
and profound sympathy.
/ am informed that many OF those
who profess to be political leaders in
Hawaii are American born, but, owing
to various circumstances, expatriated
themselves, and abandoned their Am
erican allegiance, and at the present
time are not citizens of the United
States. Their conduct in this respect
need not be criticised. But this sus-
pension of allegiance may have caused
an alarming forgetfulness of the fact
that the true American citizen holds
with the utmost tenacity to the prin-
ciple of self-rule, and desires that II
shall apply to territories as well as to
States.
Owing, however, to the earnest con-
fession by body of men, announcing
| themselves as representatives, thar
they are incapable Of selecting from
among their own respected, educated
reputable, and Christian citizens, q
person who is fitted to properly ad.
minister a territorial government,
have selected you as the most con.
spicuous member Of that class OF per.
sons who have a signal inability tc
take care of themselves. and what IL
| rarer still, have the humiliating i'm.
pudence to confess it before men.
Should you find, on your arrival in
Hawaii, that the people have been mis-.
represented. and that there are intelli.
gent, reliable. and acceptable citizens
| residing there, you will, of course, re.
al ~ M %, h., In.
ency at home, that worships you as
their Moses" and does not recognize
you as an lass"

ALGER AND IHE CROWD

Attention was called, several weeks
ago, to that curious book written by lie
Bon, on the crowd" Extracts were
given, showing the ill-advised, erratic
and in some ways insane acts Of masses
OF men, who, on occasions, lose their
individual judgments. and act like
herds OF cattle or sheep.
At the G. A. II. campfire held in Gin
cinnati on the 9TH OF this month. Gov
ernor Pingree, Of Michigan, read an ad-
dress, in which he denounced the man
agement of the hospital corps, and con-
demned red tape in the army.
The Governor then began new
sentence: If Secretary Alger -"
Here he was interrupted by shout
from Ayers friends in the camp, who
believed that the next words of the
address would denounce the Secretary.
The audience lost control Of itself 1t
cheered Alger and Kissed Pingree and
refused to let him proceed. Pingree,
thereupon, handed his speech to the
chairman and left the platform in
anger and disgust. After he had left
| order was restored The chairman at
once read from the manuscript the re-
mainder of the sentence which the
crowd had interrupted. This was the
sentence: If Secretary Alger had
been given full power such things
never would have happened"
The great audience felt at once that
it had collectively made an ass OF 1t,
self 1t called for Pingree. 1t tried
to make reparation. Every man in thf
audience looked at his neignbor OF
some stranger and was ready to put
the blame upon every one, but not on
himself. Pingree, boiling with inlig.
nation, refused to appear before the
audience that had SO grossly insuted
him.
| The incident Is an excellent illus.
tration Of the errors that are commit.
ted by the democracy, in ruling itself
The power Of the crowd is an enormou.
factor in politics. The politicians ap
preciate its subtle influence in a nom
mating convention. The place chosen
for the convention largely determines
the candidates. The crowd on tn,
floor responds to the crowd in the gal
leries.
The moral Of this incident in Gin
cinnati is instructive to the citizens o
Honolulu: avoid getting into larg,
crowds in town when politics is dis
cussed, as you may suddenly holler tn,
wrong way"

SOMETHING ABOUT BLAINE.

The Bulletin kindly draws the atten
ton OF the Advertiser to the decided
contrast in the characters of John L.
Stevens and Jas. G. Blaine, in the con-
vention that nominated Mr.. Lincoln In
1860. Mr.. Stevens supported MIR. Sew
ard and Mr.. Blaine supported Mr.. Lin
coin. Upon these facts the Bulletin
confidently asks:
"Now dear Advertiser in the light
Of American history, which one acted
for the country's best good, John L.
Stevens or James G. Blaine? Blaine
believed in political organization. IN
putting forward men who would com.
mand the loyal support of the masses
Stevens gave his support to men first
and the party afterward. Answer us
thou halfway omnipotent Advertiser
tell the weak and feeble masses Il
Hawaii who was right"
Has this political conundrum any
local significance? II so what Is it? Is
it the intent to suggest that some local
Blaine is working with pious zeal for
some local Lincoln as governor of his
territory, and that he ought to, and
will, get the best of some local Stevens
who is maliciously working for local
Seward?
II the question involves no local
coloring," and merely involves dis
cussion OF the duty OF public men, we
frankly concede that Mr. Blaine be-
lieVd in putting forward men WAC
would command the loyal support OF
the masses" AS he cordially hated
Mr.. Seward, he naturally believed il
this or any other proposition tina
would defeat the "favorite son OF N,
Empire State" More than this, Mr.
Blaine had an abiding faith tina
James G. Blaine at all times com
manded the loyal support OF III
masses" and for forty years he com
manded it himself by holding one ofiic,
or another. He trusted himself NOR,
than he trusted other men, and natur
ally selected himself as the choice o
the masses.
As he was defeated, however, for In,
highest Office by the loyal masses OF hi
own party, the principle he believed II
did not always work satisfactorily
and he was accustomed to use rattle
vigorous language about many OF IN
loyal masses.
II the incident OF Mr.. Blaine's sup
port OF Lincoln in the nominating con
vention of 1860 is to be regarded as a
evidence of his wise selection of can
didate, and not an attempt to bea
Ssward, whom he hated, then 1t is onl
just to give Mrs. Lncoln full credit 70
the part she played in giving to III
United States and the world one OF tn
most extraordinary statesmen OF tn
century.
