The subscription of the amount
needed to equip the Hawaiian exhibit
at the Omaha Exposition should be
made not for the purpose of direct Pc
cuniary gain, but in order to show our
fellow-citizens of the Mainland that
we are quite like them. and are also
civilized.
In spite of all that has been said
and written about these Islands, the
majority of people in the States still
are suspicious about our social cOndi-
tons, and too many of them believe
we live in huts, and occasionally re-
ceive a newspaper from the Mainland.
The Omaha Exposition gives another
opportunity for us to show the multi
tuGes of the West that in anneXing us
the United States did a most sensible
thing, and that it is a grievous mistake
to class us among those who occupy
the back seats in the congregation of
the civilized.

NOT \ STOCK TOWN.
lHilO Tribune.(

AuctiOneer Stevens is trying TO in
augUrate a stock exchange in Hilo. but
finds the season a little backward or
the soil TOO much Of the nature of pa-
hoehOe. After two or three auction
sales held at noon on various DAYS
this week, the bidding has been rather
feeble, and that confidence which has
so doomed stocks in Honolulu seems TO
have been lacking. Olaa has sold at
about 30 cents above par instead of at
So, as $50 il is reported) in Honolulu.
Nahiku only went up TO so cents above
par, while Hawaiian investments went
begging. There has besides been doubt
in many minds as TO the genuineness
OF even these sales, but Mr.. Stevens
denies most emphatically these insin-
uations. nor does there seem to be any
good reason TO support them. 1t is
not at all likely that stock transactions
will cut a very important figure in Hilo
commercial life. The general bend of
the business in Honolulu not setting

NILES AND EMBALMED BEEF.

The press of the Mainland that hab-
fuses to accept the findings of the mil
itary court in the matter of embalmed
beef. 1t pronounces it a whitewashing
affair, and charges the President with
organizing the court in such a way as
to secure an acquittal. But the find
ing of the court will stand approved by
the common sense of the country
The court does not find that en-
balmed beef was used as charged by
Gen. Miles, and it censures him for not
making an official report on the mat
ter the moment that he believed that it
was used. Any one familiar with the
industry of preparing meats, and the
regulations of the great concerns who
furnish it, does not believe that they
were guilty of the charge of using in
furious chemicals in the process. Their
trade depends upon popular opinion,
which is extremely sensitive in the
matter of canned goods. They simply
furnished to the army an article which
was a staple in trade.
The finding of the court virtually is.
that Gen Miles lost his head. Why he
lost it, is not stated. He appears to
have suddenly become prejudiced
against the commissary department,
and did what is always a dangerous
thing to do, dispose of the matter by
an il1-considered opinion of his own.
The weakest point in his case is that
he never told the Government about it,
but went into the newspapers" and
permitted them to flash the sensational
stuff over the country, and enrage the
people at the treatment of the vOlun-
teers
Perhaps Gen. Miles will now follow
the example of Gen. Mcclellan, who,
when removed by Lincoln from the
office of commander of the Army of
the Potomac. became a candidate for
the Presidency in order 10 vindicate
himself. Will the Democratic party
nominate him? 1t certainly would do
SO if Miles could command large
vote. But he has not taken any glory
in the Spanish war, and he cannot be
pictured astride of a charger riding
down a legion of frightened Spaniards.
And he has himself become embalmed
in history as a commander who lost
his head-nOt on the battlefield.
The ways of democracy are queer.
The people are the masters. But the
subordinate machinery of government
forbids the commanding general to
talk too freely to his masters lest he
lead them astray. Don't let the peo-
pie know too much" is the wisdom of
the inferior political leaders.
President Mckinley is vindicated,
but the report of the court is virtually
that when the nation went a gun
ming" for Spaniards in the tropics it
should have thought of the homely
things as much as it did of the glory

Lord Stanmore, the Governor of
Mauritius, has established harmony
between the planters and the Indian
laborers.
The laborers are satisfied with the
wages and are saving money. Some Of
the coolies are proprietors or co-pro-
prietors in the sugar estates
The British colonial governors are
not always in harmony with the Brit
ish residents and planters of the colo
MES who represent the mercantile in
terests, and are always clamorous for
a colonial rule which will put money
in their pockets, without reference to
the well-being of the native inhabi-
tants. Opposed TO them is a powerful,
though not dominant, party at home,
which would be called in these Islands
1.-The missionary party 1t has modi
fed the harshness of the mercantile
spirit in the colonies, and has, after
many years of persistent labor, made
the colonial rule an enlightened and
beneficial rule. 1t is this party which
strenuOusly opposes the British opium
trade with China, and would have
forced the Government to abolish it,
if the loss of it did not seriously Grip
pie the revenues of the East Indian
Government. 1t has, however, forced
the colonial rulers to govern justly
even at the expense Oh the British sub
jects in the colonies.
The ablest and most progressive of
these governors have looked to Eng
land for approval, and not to the Brit
ish subjects residing abroad. They
have enforced the laws protecting i'm
migrants, and some of them have
achieved great success in improving
their condition. They have recognized
the British citizenship of the meanest
cOolie, and given them certain pro-
lection. Time and again the British |
colonial planters have sent protests 20 |
the home Government against alleged |
arbitrary acts of these governors, but |
the missionary" influence at home has
defeated their schemes and
forced them to live up to some measure
Of justice.

4 REMARKABLE MAN.

Mr.. Henry b. Hyde, who recently
died in New York city, was one of the
most successful business men of his
generation. At the time of his death
he was the vicepresident Of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society, whose as
Although he was not the founder, he
became it's chief executive agent when
it was hardly known to the public
and soon showed great business capac-
ity. When the trustees of the company
fixed his salary and income many years
ago, at $4,000 per year, the public
was surprised at this act of seeming
extravaganza. This was done before
menced. 1t was at the time the largest
paid in the United States. The man
ayers of the association were far
sighted men, and had mapped out the
dreams of even enterprising men.
They counted on the enormous growth
of population, and the desire of men to
provide for those who survived them.
This firm faith in expanding America
was one of the secrets of Mr.. Hyde's
success. The results of his work at the
end of thirtyfve years surprised even
Mr.. Hyde himself The command of
several hundred millions Of assets by a
few men, to be cared for as the pro-
vision which thrifty or serious men
make for those dependent on them is
one of the striking features of modern
social life. Men like Mr.. Hyde are in
valuable in a community

All Traffic stopped.

One week ago this afternoon, as the
clocks pointed ten minutes after 2
o'clock, every train on the l,ls2 miles
of the Kansas City, Pittsburg q Cult
Railway came to stop, and for one
hour not wheel on the road turned.
Pullman passengers and stock ship
pers alike were interrupted in their
journey. Trains came to a standstill
in Missouri and Arkansas, Iowa and
Indian Territory, Kansas and Louisi-
ana, on prairie and in city. 1t was the
first time in the history of the rail-
road that travel stopped completely,
The order that no wheel should turn
for that hour was made out of respect
to Robert Gillian, general manager
of the Port Arthur route, of which the
Pittsburg and Gulf line is part Mr..
Gillian died ON Friday, May 49, and
the following day the directors of the
road decided that no greater tribute
to the worth of the man could be paid
than by stopping traffic on the system
during the time his funeral services
were being held.
A train dispatcher was stationed
near the former home of the railroad
man and placed in communication
with the chief dispatcher's office. AS
the casket was carried from the Gill
ham residence the operator pressed
his key, and in an instant the order to
stop all trains from Omaha to Illinois
and down to the Gulf of Mexico was
running through the wires. At little
stations in the woods, on the marshy
flats about the Gulf, among the hills
OF the Southwest, engines slowly came
to a stop and waited for the signal
which would say that the general
manager of the road had been laid in
his last resting place.-St. Louis Re.

A dispatch from Parkelsburg, W.

mon, W. Va, Jay Lent, foreman in

Hartman and two other surgeons gave
him up to die. A piece of his brain
was broken away from the main body
OF the brain structure, and the skull
covering it was broken away,
After few days the doctors decided
to take heroic measures. The shattered
brain was cut away neatly and
dressed. A healthy yearling calf was
tied down, her skull cut away and a
lobe of brain removed and fitted into
the cavity in Lentz's head. The wound
was dressed and trephined and the re-
suits awaited, The calf's head was
fixed up with half a brain in it.
Both the miner and the calf have
progressed satisfactorily, and the man
is nearly as well as before the opera
ton, though his mental vigor is not
entirely restored. The calf stands as

And lie Made n Good Officer.

Some twenty or twenty-five years
ago a gentleman of this place was
elected constable. and although he
had no opposition his nervousness as
TO the result was quite noticeable all
during the day. After the polls
closed and he was declared elected
he hied himself TO the river bank, in
the meantime having armed himself
with an old pepper-boX pistol. one OF
the earliest patterns Of the revolver
and shortly after was heard to 60
through this coloquy with some one
unseen. Pointing his pistol at syca.

and dramatic style:

tais sort of work was not to her lik-
ing, and in 1873 she was honorably
discharged and took up" ranch on
ihe Yellowstone River, near Miles
City, Mont, which, however, was not
a brilliant financial success. In 1884,
while visiting Ell paso, Tex, she met
Clinton Burk, to whom she was subse-
quently married, and of this marriage
daughter was born. Her husband
died in 1885. since which time she has
been quietly ensconsed on ranch in
Montana, living a life of contentment
so near the scene of her earlier and
more exciting escapades. She was,
however, sorely tempted to don her
fighting clothes last fall when it
was reported that the Indians were on
the warpath near Rosebud, yet she
says, her intuition told her it was only
a scare" and while awaiting develop
ments of a more definite character her
insight was proving true, and she did
not go.

Gen. Custer, whom she describes as an
absolutely fearless, tireless and brave
man, and over whose untimely and
sudden end she has shed not few
tears. From her front door may be
seen the tomb of Gen. Custer, and to
this fact may be ascribed the principal
reason of her residing there.
