Yesterday was Hawaiian Derby Day,
and record crowd attended the equine
exercises at Kapiolani Park race track.
The attendance exceeded the most san
guine expectations of the Jockey Clubs
executive committee, and spoke vol
umes for the public's appreciation of
the praiseworthy efforts of that body to
DO everything in their power to pro-
mote the interests of racing in these
Islands.
The sport was for the most part of
high order, and some of the finishes
close enough to satisfy the most fas-
tidious seeker after excitement.
The ball was opened with a half mile
foot race, in which three runners start

under full Roadway. The contrac

part Of the work in about thru I
months, after which the machinery
will be put in, and it is estimated
that when it is completed and

$4,000. 1t viii take about a mil.

The building where the machinery
will be placed Is to be four stories,

THE FREE NIGHT SCHOOL.

One of the most laudable under
takings of our city, and one which
should be always kept in mind, is
the Free Night School for boys.
This philantrophic institution was
organized three seasons ago, by
some Of the gentlemen of our city,
who had no selfish object at heart,
who had no other object in view,
than to give to the hard working
boys of the town, who could not
attend the day school, "a fair chance
to better themselves educationally
speaking. The school has proved
success, but information has
come to our hands that it has one
or two, or more, enemies, who not
being cognizant of all the Gins and
outs" of the workings Of the night
school, are defaming its fair name
and are trying to do it an injustice,
which truth can alone subdue.
To this end we feel constrained
TO take mp the cudgels in behalf Of
the night school, knowing that by
SO doing, we execute duty which
is assigned all members of the
press, in the cause Of right and
justice.
1t has been asserted that the
night school was composed of a
band Of lawless boys, who did
nothing else but play marbles on
the public streets all day.
We have before us q list of the
boys attending the SHOOT, their
places of occupation, and all other
necessary details, and the asser.
ton above referred to, appears to
ms, to say the least, unjust.
OF course we may be mistaken,
but the facts and figures, which
are before MS seems to be conclu
sive proof that the school is not
what it's enemies declare it to be.
The night school is supported
entirely by the voluntary subscrip-
ton of our citizens. When the
funds raised on behalf Of the In
dustrial School, were divided, the
school received $500 Of the amount.
The fact, that the institution is
supported as it is, is proof suffi
cicnt that there can be no possible
selfish motive on the part of the
board of directors.
We hope that the Night School
that great and laudable object
will live long, and we also hope
that the words of one Of It's direc-
tors, when he said, "tlie night
school will live, long after it's enc
mics are dead,v will prove true.

Honesty in Politics and in Primary
and State Elections.

\ New Iberia, March 10Th, 1900.
4 EDITOR or lBERIAN:-
Under the above heading and
through your valuable paper !
have concluded to address the
voters of the Parish of Iberia, and
all other parishes, who sincerely
have the well being Of their State
and people at heart. 1t Is well
known that | was astrong support
er of the right of the lawful voters
To select their own candidates for
all offices, through a preliminary
election held for that special pur-
pose. The Democratic Executive
Committee, Of this parish, rccog.
nizing the justice of this claim
called for special e.ection for the
purpose of enabling the voters to
elect their own candidates for the
various officers Of the parish and
state. That election has been
held. The only qualification re-
quired Of the voters, was,that they
would pledge their honor as man
and gentlemen, that they would
abide by the result of the election,
ana honestly vote for, and support
the candidates chosen by the ma
jority Of the voters, voting in said
election. All this has been done
and the candidates chosen by the
majority of the voters have been
announced to the world. This
seemed to settle the whole contro.
versy SO far as the Democracy
was concerned. Recently a new
party has sprung into existence
and Its supporters are trying to|
pursuade the voters who partici-
pated in the Democratic Primary
that they are not bound by the

LIEUT.. RUDSON'S HORSE
Was Shot from Under Him in the
 Philippines.

Following is some extracts from a letter from Lieut.. Walter 0. Hud son of the 38th Volunteer Infantry how serving in the Philippines, and dated Oct. 31st, to his father:
 While enroute to Fagabas with a small detachment of men on the 18th, l had pretty close call, aud I can't see how escaped being sbot. 1 was riding a white horse at the head of my men. It was ralning and had on my large poncho. Sud denly from ambush came murder ous volley, killing one of my men and also my horse. The man was shot through the heart, and she horse through the neck by two bul- lets. The insurgents ran after the first fire, but we succeeded in killing three aud wounding eight before thfy got out of reach of OUT guns. The insurgents were 30 in number, were dressed in civilian clothes and had four different rifles. A number of their cartridges failed to fire, which probably accounts for our small loss, It was close place.
 The guerrillas are now being sen- fenced to prlson when captured. The prisons are full of them await ing trlal. I captured an insurgent captain and tax collector, got his papers, and he was very friendly during July and August, but late in August he joined the insurgents again.
 The natives cannot be trusted. One day they are friendly and the next day your deadly enemy. They cannot appreciate acts Of friendship. Even among the best class of natives unsolicited acts of kindness and charity breeds con tempt for the do- tor, which develops into intelerable impertinenee, They are void of all feeling of magoanimity and do not understand chivalry towards weak or fallen foe. An act of generosity or voluntary concession of justice is regarded as sign of weakness. Hence it is that we are compelled to use harsh measures to inspire re- spect"
