MUST SUCCEED.

The Republican ratification meeting
was a great success. 1t called forth
more enthusiasm than a political event
ever has done on the Islands. In every
direction it proved a success The par
ade was a success, the speeches were a
success, the decorations were a success,
and Mckinley and Roosevelt will be
success. The rally of Saturday night
was bright harbinger of the future.
The Republican party has everything
to offer to this Territory. Its financial
policy promises continued prosperity.
Everything is assured in a mercantile
direction under the Republican govern
ment. Commercial expansion is its
watch word, and commerce and trade
have never had so bright an outlook
for years as they have now. In the
matter of organic law the Republican
party has been liberal to us, and would
have been more liberal had it not been
for the Democratic party.
The Democratic party comes forward
with its arbitrary 16 to l silver plank.
This plank, which Mr.. Wise claims
to have elected down on the platform,
and of the meaning of which he seems
somewhat doubtful, would upset the
financial stability of the nation from
one end to the other, and in place of
commercial prosperity we should have
a panic, which would sweep into it's
vortex, thousands, and perhaps millions
of people who are now shouting Justify
16 to 1.
Prosperous times and an expanding
commerce have enabled many hundreds
of thousands to acquire homes and to
lay by for a rainy day, but Bryan's
rainy day will sweep away homes and
savings, and the opportunity to labor,
and will leave the working man hungry
and with nothing to do. And if the in
dustries of the mainland are affected,
we may be sure that the Island Terri
tory will not escape, and the wave of
disaster sweep away our own fair pros
poets, The case lies in a nutshell. Re
publicanism spells prosperity. Demo-
cracy and disastera re synonymous.

KNOTTY PROBLEM.

Neither the Gaelic nor the Miowera
brought us any decisive news from
China. The situation remained in the
same nebulous condition. Whether the
Ambassadors had or had not been MUIR
dered was still in doubt. Ii Hung
| Chang was wroth because his word
was dofbted as to their being alive,
but Lis word has not always been sy-
nonymous with the strictest truth. He
once gave his word that soma Tai Ping
rebels should be spared, whereupon
they surrendered and We're then
promptly sliced up by Lis orders. Even
now he is playing a double part.
The problem of getting to Picking does
not seem easy of solution to the allies.
The Chinese have cut the dykes and
have flooded the country. To reach
Picking will require the repair of the
railroad, which has been in a large
measure destroyed by the Boxers and
their sympathizers, and this will be a
long and costly operation, especially
when made in face of a willy foe. An
other method of reaching Picking would
be by the river Peiho. But this would
be very dangerous proceeding, as the
Chinese could throw up earthworks on
the banks and practically contest every
inch of the way.
The southern part of China is very
uneasy, and the population may rise
at any time. Ii Hung Chang is said
to have great influence in Canton and
the surrounding province, and he is
supposed to be keeping the district
quiet, but who can say in what direc-
ton his influence may be thrown. An
other source of anxiety is the number
of Chinese gunboats on Yang tse-Ki-
ang. These may turn into piraticaI
craft at almost any moment, and if any
get out to sea may do a great deal Of
damage to shipping before they are
caught.
One does not hear quite so much
about the partition of China as one
used to do. Those writer's who would
have divided China find it is one thing
to divide on a map and another thing
TO get actual possession. If the powers
can barely hold possession of Tientsin
and can't get at Picking, how are they
going to take possession of their
spheres of influence"

A HOPELESS DREAM.

The Maui Independents, and no doubt
some of the so-called Independents else
where, still cling to the idea of the pos
sibiity of restoration. They have been
told that the Democratic President
Cleveland wanted to restore the Queen.
They seem to have an idea that were
the Democratic party in power again 1t
would succeed where Cleveland with
drew, but reservation of the Queen is
as impossible as the restoration of Brit
ish rules over the thirteen original
States of the Union. 1t is cruel to keep
up such a delusion in the minds of peo-
pie who are simple and ignorant of
party lines and party possibilities.
The local papers have told the Hawai-
ian this fact, but he believes his party
leaders, who well know that they are
not telling the truth. The matter is
commented upon in the mainland pa
pers. Under the heading, IA Hopeless
Hawaiian Dream the New Bedford
Republican Standard, an old friend of
Hawaii, says:
News comes from Hawaii that many
native Hawaiians cling to the hope Of
restoring the monarchy and, indeed
that the promise of restoration will
form one of the most important issues
in the coming campaign for the election
of members of the Territorial Legisla-
ture In this, there is only the testi-
mony to kinship with all the races of
the earth. Now that the monarchy is
past, the native Hawaiian looks back
to it as the ideal condition of his coun-
try as men of every land are apt to look
back to some past era as one that was
the golden age. In England to-day
est hope is the restoration of the
Stuarts, and France has it's BourbOns
and Bonapartists who see no hope for
their country save through the sway of
their idols. All such hopes are vain, and
even if they could be realized they
would only bring disappointment. So it
is in the Sandwich Islands. The native
who longs for the establishment of
the monarchy would not be satisfied
if the monarchy were there again, and
his longing is doomed to a perpetual
disappointment, because in the natural
order of development the monarchy has
had it's day and has disappeared. There
is a sort of pathos in the spectacle of
the Hawaiian, longing for the olden
time, but it is mixed with the reflection
that he is fighting q tendency which is
irresistible by stronger men than he"

MANY TICKETS.

For the coming election there are
more nominations made than ever be-
fore in the political history of our coun-
try. Ten parties, with eight Presiden-
tial and nine Vice Presidential candi-
dates, are now in the field with pos
sibility that two more sets of nominal
tions will yet appear. Those so far ap-
pearing are as follows:
Republican - William Mckinley of
Ohio and Theodore Roosevelt of New
York.
Democratic-William j. Bryan of Ne
braska and A. E. Stevenson of Illinois.
Populist-William j. Bryan of Me-
braska and Charles A. Towne of Mime
sofa.
Silver Republican-William j. Bryan
of Nebraska and A. e. Stevenson of
Illinois.
Prohibition-John G. Wooley of Illi-
nOis and H. b. Metcalf of Rhode Island
Populist middle of the road)-Whar-
ton Barker of Pennsylvania and Igna-
titus Donnelly of Minnesota.
United Christian-Rev. Francis e.
Clark of Massachusetts and Rev. Chas.
NJ. Sheldon of Kansas.
Socialist Labor-Job Hartman of
California and Max S. Hayes of Ohio.
Social Democrat-Eugene V. Debs of
Indiana and Job Hartman of Califor-
mia.
De Leon Socialist-Joseph F. Maloney
of Massachusetts and Valentine Rem
mill Of Pennsylvania.
Very possibly there may be a general
fusion of the Socialist parties, and in
deed in some States the fusion appears
to be well under way. There is, how
ever, among political Socialists, a ten
acity for slight differences Of opinion,
which makes union all but impossible,
even where there is no essential differ
ence of purpose. So that, after all, the
choice between three Socialist nominees

You can't get cake without paying
for it. and the householders of the city
will have to pay pretty heavy assess

the mains. 1t is claimed that the plum

between them. Under the circum-

There will be a fair percentage of the

some household, and undoubtedly it
will press very hard, sometimes.

STONE OF GRATITUDE.
Pretty Legend Told by Roman Chron-
iclers OF the Topaz and the EN-
pcrOr's Snake.

The topaz is called the stone OF graft
tude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang n brazen gong before his
palace gates and sit beside it on GER
tain days hearing and putting to right
the grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence of Caesar was obtained
One day a great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave or
ders that no one should modest the
creature and babe her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her crest slow
ly in homage and straightway told
the following tale:
Her nest was at the base of the gate
way tower, and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood q
strange beast covered with sharp
needles had invaded her home, killed
the nestlings and now held possession
of the little dwelling. Would Caesar
grant her Justice?
The emperor gave orders for the
porcupine to be slain and the moth
er to be restored to her desolate nest
Night fell, and the sleeping world had
forgotten the emperor's kindly deed,
but with the early dawn great ser
pent glided into the palace, up the
steps into the royal chamber and
laid upon each of the emperor's closed
eyelids a cleaning topaz. When En-
peror Theodosius awoke he found he
was no longer blind. for the mother
snake had paid her debt of gratitude.

the tract. Moreover, Col. Jones says
that the buffalo is the greatest of all
liberty loving animals, and close con-
finement has caused many one to
die of broken heart.
81 am not a philanthropist," says
Col. Jones. 81 am simply trying to
do what seems to me duty. No man
has killed so many butlaloes as | have
killed, for my victims number many
thousands. For years | made it my
business to kill them, and make money
out of their hides. Moreover, in my
early days, l used to kill them for
sport. Now / deem it my duty to the
buffalo, and also to mankind on this
continent, TO preserve the American
bison from extinction. Only few
years ago countless millions of these an
imals roamed over the plains of North
America. They had an absolute title
to, and possession of, many millions of
miles. as the Indians had to their hunt
ing grounds. They were the inyincible
tribes of the plains and prairies. They
would never have been subdued but

In Portland, Ore, there is a big bay
horse named Jerry, which is % years
old, and for II years has faithfully
served the city in the fire department.
Anyone who has seen iireman's
horse in active service will know that
Jerry has certainly earned his board.
Now Jerry has become old and is in
clincd to be stiff in the joints. Under
such circumstances private owner
generally takes out his faithful scrv-
ant and knocks him on the head un-
der pretcnse that it is n mercy to
him, but the city of Portland thinks
otherwise. So the fire commission
crs have decided that they will not
sell the old fellow to be starved and
abused, nor will they "mercifully'
kilf him. but that he is to have free
hay and oats at the expense of the
city as long as he lives.

ENDLESS CHAIN OF TORPEDOEs.

ciously arranged would protect the
largest seaport. Four blocks of stone
are set in the harbor bottom, upon
which are mounted four wheels. An
endless chain is stretched around
these wheels, forming a large square.
Along this chain, at regular intervals,
about 16 cables are attached, which at
their other end are joined to large
fish torpedoeE. These float below the
surface at just the height required for
striking an enemy's vessel, but are so
arranged as to be harmless and leave
the harbor open when the chain is not
in motion But when protection is de-
sired machinery on shore moves the
chain continuously and the apparatus
is ready for its deadly work. If a ship
escape one torpedo in the field of
chain, the progressive movement
brings another Immediately into its
place.
The Boer war has stimulated the
brains of inventors of war machinery
to unwonted exertion. Machine guns
behind almost any kind of fortifica
ton have been found effectual for
moving down the largest attacking
forces both of cavalry and infantry,
and a great need has developed of
some means of protecting gunners
within range of the fire of an enemy
whom they wish to dislodge,
The armored trains used by the
British have given very satisfactory
results but, running along a narrow
track, are at best only useful for de-
tense. Experts have long been Civ
ing their attention towards perfect
ing an automobile which would serve
the same purpose on land that war
ship does upon the sea, and which
could be easily transported over rough
roads or up steep grades, The first to
succeed, however, seems to be Fred
erick r. Simms, of London, England,
and he is said to have already secured
patents in this country. His engine
has two revolving turrets, protected
with strong steel plates, as are those
on shipboard. A man sits inside each
turret and operates a Calling gun.
Below are the men who keep him sup
piled with ammunition. The car is

could penetrate its thick sides, which
for better protection are rounded so
as to defect all striking missiles. A
solid shot from a cannon, if not turned
aside, might penetrate the armor.
The only real danger to the gunners.
however, is from the shock Of a shell
bursting above or below which might
disable or overturn the car.
Science seems not to be very CON
sistent. While some Of its deyotees
are giving all their efforts towards de-
stroying as many as possible of their
fellow-beings, others are laboring as
assiduously to prolong the lives of in
dividualS. A recent death in Russia
furnished opportunity for a post-mor
tenn, sequel to an operation per-
formed five years ago which was of
especial interest. 1t was done by DR..

tried many kinds of fence, and finally
stretched barb wires around a Sec
buffaloes for year, without any diff
ficulty. The wire itself might have
been broken by them, but they ac-
cepted it as the limit of their range,
and they had no desire to break it..
The wire offered no obstruction to
their vision, and hence, as long as they
could have freedom of sight around
them, they had no fear of danger, and
no desire to break loose from n con-
fnement which was made agreeable to
them.
II have demonstrated that the buf.

more nourishing than the milk of any

DEVOTION OF A DOG.
Runs After Railroad Train so ms to
BE Reunited with the Children

On incident occurred at Perry, Okla,
devotion of dog to children. Mrs.
L. Butler, the wife of Il groceryman,
who mysteriously disappeared from
Perry some weeks ago and who came
from Atchison, Kan, last year, was
leaving Perry for Ohio n former home.
The family dog was given to a neigh
Dor. When the train arrived on which
the Butler family was to leave the
dog had broken a big rope with which
he was tied at the home of his new
master, and had appeared at the train.
His new master and another man held
the dog by leather collar, but when
the train started the dog bit both
men and got away. He took after the
train, barking at every jump, and for
more than Il mile he could be seen
running after the car with all his
might. The next morning when the
next northbound passenger train
rolled into Red Rock, n station 90 miles
north of Perry, the dog was there, and
made a spirited attempt to get aboard.
lie had to be fought off by the train
crew. When the train started he ran
after it, and as far as the train could
be seen the dog was close behind it,
barking as he ran.
The dog had not been away from
the Butler children for any length of
time for two years. lie had followed
the children by day and kept watch
over the little beds by night.-St, Louis

the continent. Their territory had
been well nigh inaccessible, bat rail
roads made transportation cheap, and
Immediately there followed demand,
from all over the world, for the beau
tiful, warm, soft robes of the buff
falo.
THE supply had to equal She de
mand. Millions OF buffalo hides an
nually were sent abroad, and other
millions were taken up in our own
country. The slaughter became so
widespread and of such proportions
that humiliation became simply a
question of brief period of time.
in 1875, when | first began thinking
of the necessity of preserving the buff
falo, there were fully 100000 still liv-
ing. Now there are less than 400 left.
