A Misnamed Train,

He had driven from q backwoods
hamlet to the station and after making
an inquiry Of the conductor boarded
the train for Philadelphia.
When well on the way, he stopped
the blue coated official and asked in
all seriousness:
I'm sorter hungry. VIII ye just tell
me where the eatin car ISL"
"There Is none on this train," was the
answer. "Its short run does not re-
Quire It,"
"Huhw grunted the questioner.

"No, sir"

The rural gentleman subjected the
conductor to menacing scrutiny from
head to foot and back again; then he
drawled out In an angry, disappointed
tone of voice:

Tolstoi's Sense Of Honor.

AT one music party at Count Tolstoi's
lady's singing displeased the counts
boys, and they adjourned to another
room and made a noise. Their father
lost patience and went after them, and
a characteristic admonition ensued.
"Are you making noise on pur-
pose" he asked.
After some hesitation came an nn-
swer in the affirmative, "Y-y-yes."

"Well, no. Why does she howlT de-
clared one Of the boys, with vexation.
$50 you wish to protest against her
singing?" asked Lyeff Nikolaevitch In
serious tone.
"Yes"
"Then go out and say so or stand in
the middle of the room and tell every

upright and honest. But you have got

One More EulOGy.

Lieutenant A. w. Thomson says, tn
The Independent, that when the civil
war was practically over he was sent
from the camp Mt Lincolnton to Char
lotte, N. c., under q flag Of truce. He
entered the town and was conducted to
General Echols' headquarters In
large upper room, evidently a school
room.
Our guide pointed out the general,
a fine, portly gentleman, seated at a
table. I advanced and laid my papers
on the table.
General Echols, presume" said.
"These dispatches are from General
Gillian. Shall wait for an answerT
please be seated" the general said.
Glancing around, I saw 10 or 18 gen.
tlemen, all, with one or two exceptions,
in military uniform. Colonel Morgan
came up to me, shook hands and said:
II believe you and I are not entire
strangers.
He had been our prisoner q year or
80 before. While we chatted a gentle
man In civilian gray suit turned to
address General Echols. The cold stare
of glass eye caught my attention, and
the features were somewhat familiar.
"Ah, Jefferson Davis! Are you here.
pressed to the WALTZ" was my first
thought. His face was far more pleas
ant than our northern papers had pic
tured 1t.
A dispatch was handed to General
Echols, who read and reread 1t with an
earnest, anxious lok. Half rising, he
passed the paper to Mr.. Davis, who read
1t slowly and then handed 1t back.
"Well," said he, I'VE have lost a
generous enemy"
1t was the news Of President LIN
coins assassination.

that he has Just been appointed lieuten-

Mead is fairly well known in Montana

the declaration of war against Spain was
first lieutenant of d company of the Ma

son county. He had just been awarded a
contract to survey government land
which promised to be remunerative and
he forfeited this and went to the Philip
pines with the regiment. He was not in
the field long before he volunteered as a
scout. In this capacity he did splendid
service, his Montana experience having
fitted him peculiarly for it, and he soon
attracted the attention of General Mac
Arthur. Macarthur recognized his SOL
dierly qualities and gave him every OPP
~portunity, which the Montana boy i'm
proved. He was made chief of scouts,
in this position was in MacArthur's
confidence n had access to him at all
times while officers outranking him
many times could not secure an audience.
When the provisional regiments were or

Thirty-fourth infantry. This was less
than a year ago and about three month";
ago he was made major and now comes

The Hawaiian gazette., 1900-10-23

inform me that at meeting held at
the headquarters of the Independent
I Home Rule party, my nomination as
! Representative FOR the Fourth District
had been revoked because OF my "aiiil-
Iiatlun with the Democratic party"
| 1t Is matter Of surprise to me that
I"aililiation with the Democratic party
should all at once be held by the indie
pendent Home Rule party to be such "A
rank offense.
When my name was placed upon your
| ticket | had already received the nomi-
nation of Representative upon the
Democratic ticket, and had accepted
the same, and this fact was known to
the members of your convention when
they personally endorsed me for the
same office on their own ticket. Was
not, therefore, my aitiliation with the
Democratic party known to you at the
time you nominated me? If, then, my
atliliaton with the Democratic party
was no bar then, what has happened
pray, to make it Objectionable now?
| You inform me that my nomination
was revoked at meeting held at the
headquarters of the Independent Home
Rule party. What meeting it was, and
what authority it had to take my name
off the ticket is not apparent.
The nomination by your party was
not sought by me, and 1 question your
authority to revoke my nomination
now. In the interests of the Hawaiian
people, whose interests you specially
claim to represent and safeguard, |
protest against any such declaration of
war upon those "afiiliating with the
Democratic party" and l claim right
here and now that the Hawaiian peo-
pie do not, and will not, and cannot
support you in any such stand.
If the Independent Home Rule party
CHOOSE to set Prince David Kawanana-
I ct
as a delegate to Congress, do l under
stand that they will read Mr.. Wilcox
out of the Independent Home Rule
party If he "aftiliates with the Demo-
Gratis" in Congress? If not, then is not
this declaration of war on Democrats
here a queer way to secure for Mr..
Wilcox the recognition of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress, unless, indeed, the
few at headquarters who are assuming
to run the Independent Home Rule par
ty have concluded to affiliate" with
the Republicans?
l challenge the position you have as
sumed in behalf of the Independents
against the Democrats as one unsup-
ported by the rank and file of the In
dependent party, and feel safe in say
ing that 1t would be rejected in any
representative convention that might
be assembled.
The issue that you have thus raised
against the Democratic party can only
be settled at the polls on the 9th of No
Nember next, and | cannot believe that
the Hawaiian people will commit politi-
cal suicide by cutting themselves off
from the good will and protection of
that great party.
1t is true that | am an ardent sup
porter of Prince David for delegate to
Congress. Perhaps this is also a mat
ter of offense to you. If so, the polls
must decide the question:. for l prefer
to go down to defeat with Prince Da-
vid than to victory with Mr.. Wilcox
