THE CHICAGO CONFERENCE.

The conference regarding trusts
which was held in Chicago last week,
while arriving at no formal conclusion
as to just what the exact remedy for
the abuses may be, was withal a most
valuable, gathering. While there
were many addresses of a most radical
nature and the opinion of the majority
of the speakers was along the line that
trusts should be smashed and wiped
out entirely, regardless of any conse-
quences that might follow, there was a
large conservative element constituted
of some of the strongest thinkers in the
gathering. who distinguished between
the evils of the trust system, and the
advantages that came from the great
aggregations of capital They also took
cognizance of the fact that great trusts
are not confined entirely to capital, but
that they also exist in the shape of
great labor organizations and that evils
are as likely to arise therefrom as trusts
of capitalists By far the greatest ad-
dress of the conference was that de-
livered on Friday evening by Bourke
Cochran, of New York. He took the
ground that it was not 80 much the ag-
gregation of capital that is dangerous
to the best interests of the country, but
rather the secrecy in which these great
corporations carry on their affairs, by
which even a shareholder can learn
nothing that is being done by the
managers. Mr.. Cochran believes that
if the light of publicity was let in up
on these great corporations, the abuses
complained of would disappear, and
this belief was shared by the conserva-
tive element generally. But Bryan's

The statement of President McKin-
ley in one of his recent addresses in
the east, that the first thing to secure
is the Philippines and then the estab-
lishment of stable and free govern
ment, has evidently set great many
Democratic editors to thinking and
their papers are now changing tone.
They are also finding out that the
American people approve of the presi-
dents declaration and find it the only
sensible. course to pursue. The Ameri-
can people will approve of no party
that advocates the withdrawal of our
arms in the face of an enemy, and
Democracy is finding out that to make
an issue upon such point would mean
it's entire blotting out The hopes
which Aguinaldo is said to have had.
that the American people would re-
verse the action of the Mckinley ad
ministration and withdraw our troops
in the Philippines will never be realiz-
ed. No move of that kind has ever sue
ceeded in the past, and it is safe to say
that it will not in the future. The
American people are not built that

THE STREET FAIR

The street fair closed last evening,
and the very pretty parade of citizens
carriages shows what could be done in
that, or any other line, if all of our
citizens would work heartily together.
While there have been some features OF
the fair other than what many people
.could wish, and which have been the
cause of much elimination and re.
elimination, it would seem better that
all such discussion be closed as no good
can result to the city from Its further
continuance and only prolongation of
hard feelings ensue. And outside OF
this feature of the fair. it can be called
a success, only as it was interfered with
by the rain. And while the street
&akirs were more numerous than was
desirable, the street fair manage

able to having lit run on the largest
sscale' possible. The gentlemen who
have had charge of the fair have
worked hard for several months to
Rnake the fair a success, and they have
agiven their services gratuitously. They
have the good of the city at heart
sand would not knowingly do anything
that would injure it in any particular
and tits not fair to SO charge them.
and right here we would remark
that the city authorities are not free
from blame in their attitude in the
matter The giving of tthe streets
over to the fair management did
not absolye them from the strict
enforcement of the law against
gambling or immoral shows, and had
this been done without fear Or favor,
much of the trouble and hard feeling
shat generated would have been nipped
an the bud. A twenty-five cent gamb-
1ing game can no more be excused than
one at higher limit and is equally OBJ.
noxious before the law. The incon-
-sistency, therefore, of one or two Rev.
serened gentlemen in acquiescing in the
@one and opposing the other is apparent.
1t is quite likely that this will be the
last of street fairs in Manka.o, at least
upon such an extensive scale. If they
they are tried in the future it is prob
able they will be purely upon an agri-
cultural basis of the market day style,
with all street fakirs eliminated.
The Free Press has no apologies to
make for the fakir permits granted,
and it has no endorsements to offer for
&heir appearance upon our streets.
Neither has it any endorsements to Of
Ger for the activity of some individuals

a5he fair is over and that the city has
Eearned something to its advantage for
She guidance of future city administra-
lions, and the present city adninistra-
&ion may have learned something to its
own advantage and its responsibility to

Experts in New York estimate that
the balance of trade in favor of the
United States by the close of 1899, will
reach 5000, 1000. thus keeping up the
high record of the past three years.
This will make the balance in favor of
this country during the first three years
of McKinley's administration aggregate
at least 81, 100000. This is quite
comfortable sum.

Sheriff Andrews YVES notified and pro-
ceeded to the spot for the purpose OF
making an investigation the result of
which convinced the coroner's Jury
that it was clearly a case OF suicide
and a deliberate ore at that.
1t appears from the testimony that
the man had been i'll for some time and
unable to work. His boarding master
advised him to secure medical at

and place to sleep would not become re-
sponsible for mis- bill for medical at

on Sunday presumably To- visit HiIo.
and before leaving told the boarding
master he had Sl.5D and rendered IL to-
him as part payment of his account.
This was refused. the master telling
him he would need it.
The next seen ui the man was as
stated. hanging from the guaVa bush.
FROM the appearances deceased had
made careful preparations for his TAX
ing of. Near the spot was Il clearing
on which some guavI trees and stumps
were laying. He selected one to- his
purpose, drew it across the road and
dashed it to another tree with a Dor
ton of the scarf he wore around his
waist. The trunk of this tree he uset.

MISSION CHILDREN.
Entertainment ana Earnest Discus
sion on the Future.

The Hawaiian Mission ChildTen's So
ciety met Saturday c"enirg in the par
lors of Kawaiahao Seminary.
The evening was spent in an inter
esting discussion OF a report brought in
by committee appointed to devise
new forms of entertainment that might
specially interest young people. and in
listening to a NUMBER OF songs by Ka-
waiahao students that were introduced
from time to time during the discus
sion.
The committee. Disappearing of the
only brand new form OF entertainment
suggested to them CHAT of having tab
leauX of the missionary fathers and
mothers at meetings., brought in re-
port proposing that the society become
purely memorial institution, that the
meetings be fewer, consisting OF one
regular meeting a year and n few 9TH

cific historical events connected with
the Hawaiian Mission, that the usual
appropriations be no longer made an
nually, and that I'D new members be
admitted unless of missionary descent
or connected by marriage or descent
with a member of the society.
The discussion developed a hearty
approval of the committees course in

Sued the Postmaster.

Samoan papers have long accounts OF
a lawsuit before the Supreme Court ut
Apia with DR.. Sigfried Gentne. CORE
spondent of the Cologne Gazette, as
plaintiff. The defendant is the post
master, who holds his position by war
rant of the three powers. The name OF
the official is Davis, and from the tes-
timony adduced 1t is evident that he
conducts business like some of the
ranch postmasters in the wild and
woolly West. DR.. Genthe called for
his mail on the Sth day OF September
and was given few papers. He insist
ed that there must be more and in
Quired several other days. but with no
further result till the 18th of the
month, when there was handed to him
the letter of advice from Cologne that
he had been expecting. 1t had his or
ders, which were to proceed by the
steamer OF the Slh to San Francisco
and thence to Washington to- report the
proceedings of the High Commission.
DR.. Gentne was delayed a full month.
He asked for damages in the sum oi
$3.50 and the case was taken under con-
sideration by Justice Osborn.
