In Four States.

Elections OF more or less local impor-
lance will be held In large number OF
States on the 7th proximo. the Tuesday
next succeeding the first Monday In No

canoe attaches 20 most Of them. but there
are four States. 20 wit, Maryland. Ken

pending campaigns are unusually excit-
Ing. and the results, for obvious reasons,
are deemed important. in a national sense.
In all probability the vote In Maryland
this year will decide its electoral vote Ia
1850. The Post believes that a majority
Of the voters OF that State are Demo-
Gratis and that II they present a united
front they will recover the ground lost
through internal dssensions. There ap-
pears at this date more harmony and con-
fidence on the Democratic than on the
Republican side The vote Of Maryland
at the last two State elections was as fol-
lows:

IN the congressional eisctlons OF last
year the Republicans elected four out Of
six Representatives and polled majority
OF the popular vote. There is, OF course, In
view Of such a record, some doubt as to
this years outcome. but The Post be-
lieves that the confidence of the Demo-
Gratis In the success OF their ticket has
strong basis.
The fierce factional fight that is raging
In Kentucky and has split the Democratic
party wide open gives the Republicans
hope Of victory. They even expect to poll
so large a plurality that Goebel will not
venture to count them out under the law
which he caused to be enacted for that
purpose. The vote in that State in 1896
for President and in 1897 for clerk Of Court

FOR HAWAIIAN REGISTRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TOALL
THE QUESTION HERE AND IN
WASHINGTON.
Is Brought Anew Before the Local
Courts Senator Perkins Brings 1t
Before the Senate Committee.

WASHINGTON, December 23-Many
efforts by Pacific coast men are being
made to have changed the date in the
Hawaiian bill which makes effective
all changes of the sovereignty of the
republic before the time of the rails
ing of the flag. One of the protests
which has come to Senator Perkins
sets forth that there were purchased
and put under the flag of the Republic
of Hawaii several ships, which, if the
date of the American supremacy is
made July 18th, when the President
signed the resolution, instead of Au-
gust 18th, when the flag was raised,
will be without any flag. These pur-
chases are said to have been made in
good faith.
The facts were laid before the Sen
ate committee on foreign relations by
Perkins. and will be fully considered.
There is another point which is to
be taken up in this relation. Under
the bill of the committee there are
named three sub ports of entry which
will be opened when the bill becomes
law. These are not the only ports
of the group which are now in receipt
of business-that is. there is coming
to other ports such an amount of COM
merce that there should be extended to
shippers there all the accommodations
which the SUPPORTS give. 1t is propo-
sed by Senator Perkins that there he
given to the secretary of the treasury
power to name such supports of ell
try as may be deemed necessary i'm
the future. and this will accomplish
the ends aimed to be reached by the
men of the coast who are now ship
ping and clearing cargoes from those
parts of the islands which are not in
cluded in the bill as reported. There
is said to be in the bill an attempt to
make all the commerce of the Islands
pay tribute to Honolulu.
Senator Perkins has been asked to
make one of the speeches before the
Chamber of Commerce of Boston on
January Bird. Boston folks are said
to be opponents of annexation and at
the same time advocates of closer re-
lations with Canada.

Writs of mandamus returnable to.
morrow have been issued by the cir
cult court directing Collector General
McStocker to issue Hawaiian registry
to the bark Willscott and the ship Eu-
terpe. The complainant is Colonel
George w. Macfarlane, and in the case
of the Euterpe, Lincoln ID. Spencer of
Seattle, by his attorneys, Kinney &
Ballou and McClanahan. In the case
of the Willscott temporary registry
was issued by Consul Wilder at San
Francisco, July 22nd.
The reason that registry is refused
is that since the decision in the Chi
nese habeas corpus case on the ques-
ton of sovereignty, the local govern
ment feels that the former decision
under which registry was granted to
the Kilohana and other vessels has
been modified. and it has been decided
to bring the question anew before the
courts for further consideration.
Application for Hawaiian registry
has been made for the Star of France.

Moths and Flies.

The only way to battle moths and
buffalo bugs is to leave them nothing
to eat But naptha is death if it comes
in contact with them. This must be
carefully used. The rooms must be
well ventilated after it has been
sprinllled from the can. Use literally.
To rid the house IF flies have win
dow garden of geraniums and calceo-
larias, and the flies Will not trouble
you.
The use of plenty of salt is good
preventive for moths.
Here is a preventive for moths
which is also good sachet Take one
ounce of tonquin beans, carraway
seed, cloves, mace and cinnamon, we'll
ground; add six ounces of tlorentine
orris root; mix well and put in bags
among your clothes.
Pennyroyal is the best safeguard
against moths.
Turpentine put very plentifully about
the edge of carpets will keep away
