MR.. GRIGGS' OPINION.
The Attorney General Gives His Reasons
for Believing That Anti-Imperialism
Will Not he the Democratic Issue.

Washington, June 20. Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, in an interview, states that
he does not believe the question of i'm
perialism will he made an issue at all
in the next election. He said:
This government is bound in honor to the ma.
lions of the world to carry out what it has be-
gun in the Philippines Honor and conScenc
demand IT, The great majority Of both demo
Gratis ana republicans favor the administration =
policy. The title Of the United States to the
Philippines is perfect and the responsibility
that goes with ownership cannot in honor be-
shifted t. the half barbarous people Of the is
lands. The nation will declare for expansion.
The democrats cannot afford to take the other
end Of the argument

One of the best evidences Of the
rate at which the town is growing is
the number of new connections made
by the Gas Company. since January
first the Company has been required
to make more than two hundred CON
nections, every one of which went in
to a new house. And this mum Der
does not represent all the new houses
by any means, as many have been
built in additions to which the gas
lines have not yet extended, The
number of additions IL sufficient,
however, to warn the Company that
they must prepare for much heavier
demand for gas next winter than they
were required to supply last winter,
and hence at a meeting of the Direc-
tors last night 1t was decided to drill
new well The well will be drilled
on the lot near the oil tanks which
belongs 10 the Company. There was
well drilled there ouce and some
gas found, but it was shallow well,
and the Company feel quite sure that
by going to the lower level they will
open up a good well Besides this
well the Company will make several
other changes and Improvement g
during the summer with n view to
being able next winter to give the
most perfect service possible.

Well she knew that had he heard of her
sudden determination to go to Honolulu
she could not have escaped stern interroga-
ton, possibly something worse; and her
heart failed her when she realized that the
man who had gauged her shallow nature
years before, now held a lash over her
head In the shape Of the paper that mad
vanity had prompted her to write and send
to the officer of the guard the day that
Stewart sailed. What madness It was in
deed. yet how could she have dreamed it
would fall into the hands of the man of all
others she feared and respected-the one
man who, had he but cared, could years
ago have had her love, the man who, be-
cause he cared not had won her hate, And
now that he held or had held this paper
nothing less than forged order in her
husbands name as aid-de-camp to Gen.

All this was explained to the senator. IT
