 A. 10.

Glasses have been formed, and during the morning the officers go through Sandow's developing exercises. In the aft erhoon they play rounders.

might have been expected from any at !
tempt to continue that man in office.

POLITICS.

The political situation on the main
land looks bright for the Republicans
A. one time there were some doubts,
but now there seems to. be a steady
lining up in favor of the party which
has given prosperity and Advancement
to the country The reason that the
Republican campaign has not been so
aggressive is that the people have been
too busy making money to whoOp and
halloo. But when the time comes, they
will vote Republican in overwhelming
majorities.
Bryan, on the other hand, seems to
be losing ground steadily. McKinley's
statement with regard to his position
towards the Philippines, Porto Rico and
Cuba, knocked the "Imperialistlc'
PUNK all to flinders and Bryan's ack-
n0wledged chief issue in the campaign
has had to disappear, 1t may linger in
the minds of few ignorant people, but
the mass of voters have seen through
the DOGGY and understand that he was
a very flimsy DOGGY indeed. A clear
statement of the case appeared in The
Star yesterday.
This drives Bryan down to the silver
issue. AS long as the Hawaiian Islands
were not a part of the Union the sill
yer issue did not affect them so serious
ly. Their sugar would have been sold
on a gold basis. The natural disinte-
grafton of business would have affected
them to some extent and the certain
fall in values. But now it is a very
different thing. Organism would GER
tainly give us free silver, and free silver
would mean now that we are part of
the United States, the payment of Ha-
waiian sugar in a dollar worth forty
three cents, and the result of Organism
would be recognized as very uncomfort-
ably by our planters and sugar manu-
facturers. Not only would they feel it.
but every class in life would feel it, and
by next ejection there would not be a
democrat in the territory, but the mis-
chief would have been done.
This actual menace to every state anG
territory in the Union, however is
shielded from them by the wise policy
of Mckinley, and that policy will be
upheld by a swinging majority through
out the Union.
