1t is nearly a year yet to the Presl-
dental campaign, but there is good
deal of political training being done.
Bryan has never wholly discontinued
training since his defeat in 1896, and it
is safe to say Mckinley has never quite
forgotten that there is a Presidential
election in 1900. Presidential campaigns
have good deal of noise and froth
about them but after all they are great
educators. They are one period when
the whole people become interested in
public affairs and are willing to listen
to discussion of great and important
economic and political questions. These
discussions may not be always be of the
wisest, and minds may not always be
in the best frame to hear discussion to
the end of arriving at truth. But it is
something to get whole people arOus-
ed and interested.

THE HAWAIIAN CENSUS.

THE Hawaiian Planters Monthly.
The appointment of Mr.. A. T. Atkin-
son as United States commissioner to
take the census of the Hawaiian ISL
ands is the most appropriate that could
possibly have been made, and the head
of this bureau at Washington is to be
complimented on the choice. Besides
having been a resident here for twen-
ty-four or more years, and also having
been the last census commissioner in
1895, he is personally acquainted with
almost every householder, be he native
or foreigner, and can speak nearly ev-
cry language spoken here except Chi
nese and Japanese. Another point that
should not be overlooked is the DISPOSE
ton of the Washington Government to
select the fittest men for any service
here that may be required. The Amer
lean Government and the head of the
census bureau may rest assured that
the choice of Mr.. Atkinson is endorsed
by both foreigners and native Hawai-
ians here, who know and highly esteem
him as the right man in the right place.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality OF
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior eX-
cellence is very wholesome beverage.
Physician often have occasion to pre-
scribe pure beer for cases of debilita-
ton, and they can safely order this
beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
American journal of Health and can
be seen by anyone,
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as
sortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors. We are pleased to
sell you and give you value for the
benefit of your health. Yours,

ON as he entered the little front parlor

some whisky and behaved like brick.
"We both agreed the old fellow must

Clapham and took large house up
west, where he lived for some years in
good style. When asked by his friends
where the money came from, he said
he had made very successful specula-

this mortal coil that learned that
had been fool enough to let fortune
slip through my fingers, for that bless
ed old great auk's egg was crammed
with precious stones, which the curl

laid bare. 1t was supposed that a sailor
coming off a long voyage had, in a
drunken bout, lost treasure which he
brought from a foreign shore, and
Billy Muster had luckily bought it,
