Immigration Inspector Thinks the
Natives VIII Dominate.
]. X. Brown, immigrant inspector at
Honolulu. who is in the city, was caller
at the White House yesterday morning
Mr.. Brown says that the coming elections
in Hawaii are likely to place the natives
in control of the Legislature. and will
also result in sending Hawaiian as dele
gate to Congress. There are abcut 40, 600
natives and 10000 whites in the islands,
besides $1,000 Chinese, japanese, and
Portuguese.
The normal disposition Of the whites
and of the natives is toward Democracy
The Hawaiians, however. are tending to-
ward the formation Of an independent
party. headed by the cid monarchical fol-
lowers. They will doubtless nominate
Colonel Wilcox as delegate to Congress
The Democrats have already named
Prince David. and the Republicans will
choose Samuel Parker All three CT them
are natives. *
Mr.. Brown declares that unless the
whites combine. the. Independent native
party, under Colonel Wilcox will domi-
nate Hawaiian politics.
The Marconi system ofswireless telesra-
ply which is being Installed to connect
the islands. is nearly completed. BY its
aid, says Mr.. Brown, Communication will
be possible all over the archipelago.

DISCUSSION AS TO TRUSTS.
4 Commercial Traveller Expose
Evil. of Illegal Combination.

A Commercial Traveller Exposes
Evils of Illegal Combination.
There is a controversy in progress in
"Talkative Facts" publication by the
Commercial Travellers and Hotel Mems
Antitrust League. between H. R. Kunz
and Louis Rosen. tobacco drummers, as
to the effect Of trusts on commercial
travellers. Mr.. Rosen wrote letter In
which he took the position that the trusts
had proved beneficial to commercial trav-
elers. in which he makes other state-
ments in support OF his contention that
trusts are good. The reply Of Mr.. Kunz
follows:
"Mr Rosen says that 400 new tobacco
factories have opened since the American
Tobacco Company absorbed all the lead
ing factories. Now, l say that the Con-
tinental Tobacco Company, capital $780,
600 900. and the American Tobacco Com
pany. capital S70,000.0 900. organized in New
Jersey, are what we have to contend with.
The Ligget & Myers. Drummond. and Lor-
iilard companies, capital each S1,0O0,000,
and no water, were the largest concerns
in the world before they were absorbed
by the trust.
Now, will give Mr.. Rosen 500 If he
will name six new plug tobacco factories
which have been started since the trust
bought out the Drummond Company.
There are not. or never were, 400 plug
tobacco factories in this country.
Il was one of the 135 travelling sales
men for the Drummond Tobacco Company.
II MIR. Rosen will name ten of our b1ys
who are now in the tobacco trade I will
give him S1C0. The Office force of the
Drummond Company was almost wiped off
the earth when the trust took poss -ssion.
Men who were getting S125 month were
cut down to S12 week. The salaries Of
the best bookkeepers were cut down one
half. We have the men here. in st. Louis,
and can bring them forward if proof is
wanted.
Il, as a travelling salesman. know and
have the proof that the Continental To-
bacco Company adopted new expense
account rule in which hotel bills on Sun
day, bus fare, baggage charges, ex-
penses with customers and incidentals
are not allowed. The Drummond Com
pany allowed all these expenses and paid
statesmen when they were sick. The trust
refused to pay my salary when was sick
in bed. ] have correspondence to prove
this.
Before competition was destroyed the
American Tobacco Company sold its lest
known brand to dealers at Is cents a
pound. II was spaced three 10-cent cuts
to sixteen ounces. Now the dealer pays
SO cents pound and the chewer gets a
14-ounce plug spaced four 2-cent cuts, or
40 cents for a fourteen ounce plug.

have always trusted Mr. Dancy, but he
is of those scheming politicians who place
their jobs above their much-abused peo-
pie.
BE it remembered, colored brethren,
that all of the big officeholders among
the colored Republicans have promised
Mark Hanna TO deliver the entire colored
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt. We
have allowed the o-called leading negroes
to sell us out long enough, and it is
time to call halt
Gould We forget the fact that Mr.. Nc
kinley has not uttered word Of protest
against the cruel treatment of the colored
people who stood by him in 1896, and whose
votes he is seeking for reelection. there
would be no excuse for us deserving him
in this hour of trials. Dancy. Cheatham,
Lyons Green, and others say that Mr.. Nc
kinley is a stanch friend of the negro.
We would like to know from what author
ity these politicians speak. Mr.. Mckinley
has never said so. These scheming poll
ticians seem to be at loss to see why
| colored man should vote for Bryan. 1t is
all right with them for all colored men to
vote for Roosevelt, after his cowardly at
tack on the brave and loyal colored SOL
diers who fought so CALAMITY at San Juan
Hill, but they can't see. for the life OF
| them, how any colored man can afford to
vote for Mr.. Bryan.
We'll, few days hence thousands Of
negroes will show them, far better than
they can tell themselves, how the job can
be done.
I'VE have always been true to the Re-
publican party. and il Mark Hanna and the
President cannot give just cause for laying
aside the principles Of the Republican par
ty. surely the colored voters can give good
reasons for laying them aside. The negro
has been cruelty treated under the present
Republican Administration, and he has
greater cause for deserving the Republican
party today than he has had since his en-
franchisement. II the negro will do his
duty to his God and himself alike on the
4th Of March, 1901, William ]. Bryan will
be inaugurated President Of these United
States of America.
Il claim that we have allied ourselves
to the Republican party, as race. too
long for our good. In the South the ne
gro's best friends are Democrats, and the
sooner he realizes that fact and ceases
fighting them, the better it will be for
him. We have nothing to lose in casting
our vote for Bryan and Stevenson. We
can very well afford to follow such race
lovers as Bishop H. NJ Turner, w. Lee
Person. j. Milton Turner, and scores of
others.
AGAIN, say, beware OF Dancy, Cheat
ham. and the rest of the self-styled lead
ers; they are not interested in the well
fare of their race. They want to see Nc
kinley reelected in order to hold their
fat jobs. What care they for the rest of
their people? Not one of them would
hardly speak to you after the election.
Go to any one of them to aid you to get
spittoon job and they would put you off
on the excuse civil service. Colored
brethren, those fellows would sell the en-
tire race to hold their jobs"

John NJ Quinn, commercial traveller
who is campaigning for Bryan and Stew
enson, says that of the 100000 travelling
men in the United States, $4,000 have been
thrown out of employment by the trusts
and $4,000 more have been compelled to
accept a reduction Of over 80 per cent in
salary, and half Of the $1,000 whose wages
have been reduced have been taken from
the road.
This item, he says OF itself is important,
but it is of small import compared with
the great loss to the country at large.
If 60,GGO commercial Travellers" con-
tinues Mr.. Quinn. have been SO inju-
riously affected by the trusts, the small
merchandise great middle class, which
is the bone and sinew of Republic
has suffered infinitely more.
Let us see what the enforced idleness
of the commercial traveller means. The
statistics have been conservatively pre-
pared by the president of the Travellers
Association, who shows that it represents
an annual loss of $114,000.000.
This means that $4,000, coo have been
withdrawn from the annual distribution
of money in legitimate channels of trade.
THE items are divided into loss OF
s27, 00O, 600 to the railroad, express, and
sleeping car companies-an amount equal
to the entire surplus earnings of the rail-
road companies of the United States for
1898. But the railroad magnates. who are
not worrying about the boys along the
line will get their money back from the
trusts, have no fear.
THE hotels Of the country are in diff
ferent position. They must suffer dead
loss Of SOS, 0CO,0 900. How does mine host
enjoy the medicine? VIII he vote to en-
dorse the party which is responsible?
The travelling men have lost 6o,000,-
600 in salaries. Sixty million dollars 4
year is quite an item to the families of
men who have been compelled to live a
life of open-handed generosity. and whose
savings must necessarily be small.
THE commercial traveller has not been
a hoarder. He has not been money
grabber. His value to his employer rest
ed upon the friendships which he won.
His firm expected him to be popular. 1t
expected him to hold up his end in the
interchange Of courtesies and Inequalities
along the line. As rule he was man Of
personal pride, and his sense OF honor
stood between him and a parsimonious re-
gard for the dollar.
When the trust struck him down with
out warning and sent him adrift without
sympathy, he was indeed lucky il he stood
even with the world"

to Be Held Next Month.
On the Sth Of November there will be .
meeting in Washington of the American
delegates to the International Maritime
Conference Of 1SS9-90, who were continued
by act Of Congress few years ago as a
board to wind up some matters which the
conference itself did not succeed in finish
ing. This board consists Of Rear Admiral
S. R. Franklin and Rear Admiral Sampson
Of the nav; ST. Kimball, General Super
intendenl If the Life Saving Service: Judge
W. w. Co drich, Of the New York Supreme
Court; Clement A. Griscom, President of
the International Navigation Company, and
Capt. John w. Shackford, of New York.
Eugene T. Chamberlain, Chief of the Bu-
reau of Navigation Of the Treasury Depart
ment, acts as secretary of the board
1t will be recalled that the conference
succeeded in effecting a revision of the
international rules to prevent collisions
at sea, the revised code having been
adopted by the nations which were parties
to the conference; but no agreement was
reached as to lights to be carried on fish
ing vessels. This is not of so much i'm
portance to fishing interests in the United
States as to those of Germany, Holland.

nations giving no promise of getting to-
gether otherwise. Great Britain has her
self prepared a set of rules, copies of
which have been forwarded to the other
nations interested in the conference and
now each of these will pass upon the
British code and indicate its approval or
non-approval separately. Our fishing yes-
sells, which are found in greatest number
on our northerly ocean banks, will be
affected by these new rules, of course.
but those of general character do not
differ essentially from the rules now pre-
vailing. The most important changes
made by the British code are in reference
to vessels engaged in trawling, an opera
ton in which American fishermen engage
very little.
II the several nations concerned agree
to the English proposals, our Secretary of
the Treasury will recommend the enact
ment of a law by Congress authorizing
the President to promulgate the new rules
for the United States upon the exchange

idly Coming to the Front.
For several years, Eucalyptol, Guaiacol
and Hydrastin have been recognized as
standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
but they have always been given sepa-
rately and only very recently an ingeni-
GUS chemist succeeded in combining them.
together with other antiseptics into a
pleasant. effective tablet
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. and it
has met with remarkable success in the
cure Of nasal catarrh, bronchial and
throat catarrh and in catarrh of the
stomach.
Mr.. F. N. Benton, whose address is care
of Clark House, Troy, N. Y. says: When
l run up against anything that is good l
like to tell people Of it. have been trou-
bled with catarrh more or less for some
time. Last winter more than ever. Tried
several so-called cures. but did not set
any benefit from them, About six weeks
ago bought 5O-cent box of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets and l am glad to say that
they have done wonders for me and l do
not hesitate to let all my friends know
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are the right
thing.
Mr.. Geo. j. Casanova. of Hotel Chiffon,
West Ninth Street, New York City,
writes: / have commenced using Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and already they have
given me better results than any catarrh
cure l have ever tried.
A leading physician Of Pittsburg advises
the use Of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets In pre-
ference to any other treatment for ca
tarrh Of the head. throat or stomach.
He claims they are far superior to in
halers. salves. lotions or powder. and are
much more convenient and pleasant to
take and are so harmless that little chill
dren take them with benefit as they con-
tain no opiate, cocaine or any poisonous
drug.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for full sized package
and they are probably the safest and most
reliable cure for any form of catarrh.
