Why should any OF US make any
pledge to any party which is based
on principle connected with nation
al issuess Why should our 10 year
old boys be asked TO sign club roll
for the support of the Republican
party or any other party. We have
no objection to forts Of q number
Of intelligent men to educate-poli-
tIcally--the HawaiiaDs and those
here who tave the misfortune of not
being initiated in American politics.
Go on educating, but do not ask any
man to give pledge for his vote or
for bis opinion in the future until
his mind is fully made up and he
thoroughly understands the princi-
Piles which are supposed to guide
the great political parties. We
notice names OF Hawaiians on the
roster OF the Republican party and
OF the young men's club and We feel
sure that these Hawaiians signed
their names; not because they be-
lieve in expansion and protection
and any other old Republican doc
trine, but simply because they are Of
fee holders aud hope to crafty their
employers. We do not mind the
pledges given by the Hawaiians.
They have watched the juggling
with political promises and even with
oath of fealty by men like our new
governor aud they know that a poll.
tical pledge is simply there to be
broken. But there ara men who,
enormously perhaps, believe that

If any one thinks for a minute
that Bill Bryan is going to be out
done in any respect by Bill McKin-
ley, then they are way off in their
thinking functionaries. Recently it
was reported that European anarch-
lists had come to this country for the
express purpose of numbering Presi-
dent Mckinley, and that the presi-
dent was being guarded by day and
by night to prevent the diabolic
threat from being put into execu-
ton. Five days thereafter up jumps
Mr.. Bryan and declares that anarch-
lists were laying dead to kill him
and thus prevent him from being
elected to the presidency next fall.
Is not Billy Bryan a bit over-solicit-
Gus for the good Of the ''dear people"
to have himself guarded for fear he
will get killed and the people robbed
of an opportunity to vote for him?
There are many thousand citizens in
this country that would make a
thousand times better president than
he, his 16 to 1 to the contrary not
withstanding, and among the Dem
ocrats at that.

he will support Mckinley, a man

Perhaps the most extensive farm
in the United States is to be found
in Jasper county, Indiana, and it is
the property OF B. J. Clifford. 1t
covers $4,000 acres and is valued at
round million dollars. So extern
sive is the farm that a small railroad
line has been built about it, over
which the owner is drawn at least
twice a day to those points on the
farm needing his attention. But a
few years ago, comparatively speak
ing, Mr.. Clifford was himself a poor
boy, working for wages on another's
farm. He began to acquire farm
lands on a small scale, and continued
to add to it until he is now the proud
possessor Of the magnificent acreage
mentioned above. He, in other
words, found his calling and stuck
to it until he has made himself Just
as wealthy as if he had been a sue
cessful dealer in Wall Streets ''bulls
and bears" There is always for
tune on the farm, young man, if you
will only go out and dig long
enough.

We agree with the Tacoma News
that there are some newspapers in
Seattle trying to make much out Of
a supposed speech made by Con-
gresham Cushman at Waterville not
long since, in which it is claimed
that the German folk were ridiculed
by Mr. Cushman, but the News
should tumble to itself sufficiently
to explain to its readers that the
papers trying to accomplish such
cussedness are Demo-Pop papers
and by no means Republican papers.
The Republican papers in King
county are heart and soul for Cush-
man and will work to give him an
increased vote over two years ago,
when he was a candidate for the
same office. Do not let your enthu-
