THE PASSING HOUR.

When Frank Curtis came down here
from foggy San Francisco, having be-
fore that lived in the half-frozen, half
blistering east, he thought he was sure
enough in a foreign country. He
decked himself out in a proper tropical
costume and revelled in Waikiki pleas
ures. Frank was the manager for
Nance O'Neil and the Mckee Rankin
Company and had diamonds big as
Kona oranges. Curtis was a blithe
individual, always, even if Mrs. Frank
was still in the States. And Mrs.
Frank is a delightful little body well
known as a leading lady. To meet
Curtis every day, one would think he
had come to Hawaii for the especial
purpose of buying Island curios for
his wife. He did make a heavy cOllec-
ton. But to the Passing Hour, Frank
did not suspect that a Hawaiian in the
group could speak a word OF English
and to facilitate business with the
curio shops he bought phrase book,
which like a university education to
rich mans son, is never any good on
any possible occasion. The first time
Frank tried his phrase-bOok native on
people of the soil it was funny as
whaling mate at a full dress ball. He

bones of reading from it. The Hawai-
ian women and girls in the place
thought a crazy man was visiting.
They laughed, then became serious as
Curtis continued to jabber. Curtis be-
came excited and tossed in a few words
of German. Then one of the daugh
ters of the land, a handsome and grace
full lady who had been educated
abroad, realized the situation. In soft
tone and better selection of words
than Curtis was accustomed to hearing
outside the theater, she suggested that
perhaps they could get along in Ger
man, but that English would be prefer
able. Curtis meekly said he would do
the best he could in English and then
he made dozen purchases without
asking for any figure but the total.
Prof. A Koebele has lately acquired

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.

President McKinley's speech at
Montgomery, Alabama, will be a mem
orable one. The occasion is memoir
able, because it was the best evidence
of the final closing of the bloody
Chasm.
Governor Johnston made a brief
speech, in which he took occasion to
say that Alabama had nothing to take
back for what she did in 1861, but that
she was back in the Union to stay, and
that she welcomed the President of the
reunited country to that historic spot.
I'm the course of his reply, President
Mckinley said: TO be welcomed here,
in the city of Montgomery, the first
capital OF the Confederate States,
warmly and enthusiastically welcomed
as the President of a common country,
has thrilled me with emotion.
- q The Governor says he has nothing
to take back. We have nothing to
take back for having kept you in the

CITIZENSHIP AND POLITICS.

President Henry Wade Rogers, of the
Northwestern University, preached SER
mon in Chicago Sunday, in which he
said:
In the early history of the country the
highest ability in the land was attracted
to public office. That this is no longer
the case is a fact which we must admit
and deplore. Not until the machine is
destroyed and the boss overthrown will
young men of ability and high ambition
be attracted to public life as career.
According to the theory of our Ameri-
can institutions, the people are sovereign.
were practical to do SO should be cxercis-
ed by them. But in large communities
this is impossible and the people must
act through their chosen representatives.
The citizen who has the right to vote and
neglects it betrays trust which has been
reposed in him. If his fellow citizens
were equally faithless, the Government
would be at an end.
uc luedl AulcIlcdn Will no more DOW
his knee to the despotsm of party than
our fathers did to that of George III.
Party men have more than once be-
trayed the public welfare and elevated to
office bad and dishonest men.
"The duty to accept public office is one
of the obligations of citizenship. That
the man should seek the office is not
necessarily one of the obligations of good
citizenship, but that the man whom the
office seeks should accept it at times may
be the very highest duty of citizensh ship"

A RAILROAD SURPRISE.

An Associated Press dispatch from Gin
cinnati Monday says:
The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
Railroad was sold to-day to E. r. Bacon
George Hoadley, Jr., and J. Chauncey
Hoffman as IA purchasing committee for
the security holders for $3,510,0OO. The
upset price under the order of the Federal
Court was 81, 000,0 600 for the Ohio division,
$1,0000O0 for the Mississippi division and
$1,000 for what is known us the Spring
field division, running from Beadstown to
Shawneetown. President Bacon bid on
these parcels separately and then added
$4,000 for them as a whole, when General
Cowen, clerk of the Federal Court, knock
ed the property down to them. This pur-
chasing committee at once transferred the
property to the Baltimore and Ohio South
western Railway Company, which will be
organized with f. r. Bacon as president
and William NJ. Greene as vice president
and general manager The only changes
made are in the name of the old oreaniza-
ton from that of railroad for railway.
The relations continue the same as here
tofore with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road"

NEXT NATIONAL DEMOCRA-
TIC CONVENTION IN IsALTI-
MORE.

Mr.. NJ. p. Walsh, of Augusta, Ga,
managing editor of the Augusta hronjH :,
stopped in Baltimore Sunday to visit
friends e.I route North. Mr. Walsh is Il
nephew of the late ex-senator Patrick
Walsh. He was associated with his dis
tinguished uncle on the staff of the Chron
icle and upon his death became the man
aging editor of that paper. Speaking of
Southern conditions, and turning to Bal
timore, Mr.. Walsh said: Il am glad to see
as its natural financial centre This is as
it should be. Baltimore business men
understand Southern conditions better
than any other, and the ready response
they are giving the South and the active
interest they are taking in Southern de-
velopement will be reciprocally beneficial
in a most marked degree. Baltimore
occupies position where more than any
other city she can be Il factor in bringing
the South and East closer together. The
East has more to gain in building up the
South than in developing any other sec
ton of this country or any of our island
possessions.
by the way, l would like to see Balti
more secure the next Democratic National
Convention; it would tend greatly to ac-
quaint the South more fully with the mag
niticent advantages that Baltimore offers
in upbuilding our section
On being asked what was the feeling in
the South as to the next presidential can
didate and party platform of the Demo
cratic party, Mr.. Walsh said:
ut is useless to deny that the free silver
sentiment is not as strong in the South
to-day as it was in 1896. The change in
industrial conditions has had its effect,
and this fact, together with the command
ing position of new issues. makes it ques-
tionable with great many former advo
Gates whether it should be given a leading
position in the platform. Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, is the most prominent
example of this change of sentiment AID
there are other men who were very pro-
nounced in their free-silver views who
have in private conversations admitted to
me the hopelessness of waging Il success
full campaign on this issue. Certainly in
the formative stages of the campaign free
silver will not have the strong personal
advocacy that swept the convention in
90. Sickness and death in the ranks of
its leading advocates have also added 10
the causes that makes it doubtful whether
silver can be given even equal prominence
with other issues in the coming cam
paign."

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

fractional fights are sometimes dis
astrous to party interests. But it
is not really necessary that this should
be SO. Ii contests within the party
are conducted in the right spirit, they
should not leave any bitterness.
Friendly rivalry between the respec-
tive candidates for party honors and
distinctions may be rendered conducive
TO larty success, because it has
tendency to arouse interest, to awaken
discussion, to promote investigation,
and thus result in the selection of the
most popular and available candidates.
The great masses Of the people are
more interested in the welfare of the
county than in the temporary success
of individuals. 1t may be hard some
times to smother personal ambition
and the desire for prominence in order
that the party may profit, or the COM
hhuli'ty may prosper. But, undoubt-
edly, this is the duty of the citizen.
If this spirit could always prevail in
political conventions, the government
of the people would approach degree
of perfection little dreamed of by its
founders.
Of course, if no good purpose cali
be accomplished, factional fights should
be discouraged OH account of the dan
ger of arousing bitterness; but if
every body will guard against this and
conduct contests in generous spirit,
good may rebound to the party and a
stronger ticket be nominated, than
would be the case under ordinary cir
cumstances.
