James K. Mcclure, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee OF the Democratic state
committee in New York state during the
recent campaign, says: THE milestone
dragging the Democratic party down in the
campaign was the 10 TO l plank of the
Kansas City platform. That plank drove
out of the party nearly every Democrat
doing business in the country and prevent
ed many Republicans from supporting
Bryan, who were opposed to President
Mckinley on other issues"
The New York Journal, Bryan's leading
newspaper support in the East, makes this
post mortem announcement: Beyond a
doubt Mr.. Bryan would have been tri-
umphantly elected but for two things.
The first was the intrusion of the silver
issue. Free silver was dead, and so I'M
popular that even its corpse was enough
TO drag any man down to defeat. The
second was the policy of cutting loose en-.
tirely from the Philippines. That was not
in accord with the spirit of the American
people.

entertaining way the surroundings in
which he was born and amid which his
childhood was spent. We can recall no
better description than this of the slave
life and conditions on the average southern
plantation. The story is the more effect

bitterness toward the slave days and the

The Election In Newfoundland.

The elections in Newfoundland have re-
suited in big majority adverse 10 r. g..
Reid, the contractor, who built the trans
insular railroad and terminal docks at a
cost of $4,000. The railroad and docks
were government enterprises. But in
March, 1898, a contract was made with Mr..
Reid, under which he was to control and
operate and at the end Of so years become
the owner of all the railroads in the island.
He was also to control and operate the ter
minal docks and all the telegraph lines.
In return he was to pay the colonial gov
eminent a royalty, which, it was supposed,
would transform the chronic deficit Of the
budget into a surplus and restore financial
ease and comfort TO the colony. Mr.. Reid
was also granted immense tracts of land,
making him one of the biggest landholders
Ia the world. Since that time Mr.. Reid's
assumption Of governmental functions has
been much extended, and 1t was expected
that II the Tory party won this falls cleo
tons his control of the island would be-
come almost entire and absolute, the gov
eminent having only nominal existence,
while Mr.. Reid's syndicate, or joint stock
company, exercised actual authority. The
election result means that Mr.. Reid's fur
ther plans will come to nAught, If, indeed,
some of his existing contracts are not abrc-
gated.

CRIMPS AFTER
~, GLADE'S CREW

There was great excitement over at
the railway wharf last night
An attempt was made to steal the
crew from the German bari, ]. c. Glade.
which arrived only a few days ago
from. Bremen.
The Kennebec is ready for sea, she
has loaded ballast for the Sound, and
Is only awaiting a crew before she sails
away. For some reason or other men
ashore are not available for the pur-
pose, and the crimps are doing their
best to steal men from other vessels to
meet the Kennebec's demands.
Crimps Were at work among the crew
of the Glade all yesterday afternoon,
trying to induce them to desert their
Iship and sign articles on the Kennebec.
About o'clock in the evening the
entire crew of the Glade attempted to
come ashore with their baggage. They
were stopped by a Custom house in
Ispector and sent back to their ship.
The crimpS did not despair, however,
and are still hard at work endeavoring
| to get the men to leave the Glade and
their clothes, too, If necessary. and go
| on the Kennebec. They are hanging
around the Glade in boats ready to
take the sailors ashore providing they
are willing to go.
| The captain of the German vessel is
on guard and woe betide the reckless
crimp who dares put his head above the
rail Of the j. G. Glade.
! The Kennebec wants to sail this
morning and the crimps are anxious to
get her a crew. There is likely to be
substantial trouble, however, if any of
the harbor-SneakS run up against Cap
tain Siege of the Glade.

Some body suggested that he take a

| kuhuea and his family and his friends
are sad; they have been driven from
the home they had learned to love. They
are wondering, incidentally, what the
owner Of the sand beneath the water
where the wreck lies is going to do with
the reef and other submerged parts of
Oahu which he claims to own.
! An old waterfronter, whose sympa-
thies are with the evicted family. said
to an Advertiser reporter yesterday:
Il think that the alleged owner of the
reef is waiting for a rise in land No
doubt he expects that some day some
volcanic disturbance will bring his high

WARRANTS FOR BOTH.
Sidney jackson and r. W. Condor
Make Counter Charges.

Sidney Jackson and r. w. Condor
were after each other yesterday with
warrants, the former charging Condor
with assault and battery, and the lat
ter charging Jackson with resisting an
officer. Condor is a member Of a
merchants night patrol.
According to Jackson's story he and
friend were on their way to the lat
ter's home from a party which had
been held in Palama. When they reach
ed the business section it was 2 a. m.
They were lettering along when Con-
don approached the couple and asked
them what they were doing out at that
hour of the night. AS Condor wears
citizens clothes, Jackson demanded
why he took the liberty of inquiring
into his private business. For answer
Condor Is said to have grabbed Jack
son and a scuffle ensued. Jackson left
Condor and started away with the
young lady, when Condor told his trou-
bles to policeman and asked the lat
ter to arrest Jackson for assaulting and
resisting him.
The entire matter will be aired in
Judge Wilcox's court this morning.
