ACCOUNTING FOR 16 TO /.

In the Kansas City Star Colonel Bill
Sterrett of Texas tells story which
to his way of thinking illustrates why
the Democrats were Obliged to reaffirm
16 to 1. There's an old Dutch farmer
eown in Texas" says the Colonel,
with with patient frau and five good
girls-good girls, mind you. He lives
good ways from town, and he and the
frau go in once a week to get their
supplies. That's the time for the girls.
They make out their list, everything
from suspender buckle, you know, to
few pounds of nails and such bric-a-
brac, and the old man always gets EN-
just what they want
well, they went in last Saturday
| week They had the list and they got
it flled-bought everything on 1t and
checked it off from time to time. When
the old man got two miles out of town
he began to fret and worry. He just
got skeered but what he had forgot
something. He went all over his gol-
darned list, and he saw for sure that
every goldarned thing was checked off.
That showed that he had 'em right
and he KEEP a driving and he KEEP a
driving until he got pretty nigh home,
but he KEEP fretting.' too-he KEEP a
frettin' without asking the aid or con-
sent of any other nation on this dad
blamed green earth.
"At last he couldn't stand it any lon
ger, and he just stopped and took ev-
cry blamed thing off his wagon. Then
he took his list again, and just as fast
as he put things back he checked 'em
off again. Everything was there. but
still the old man couldn't get to feeling
right. He kinder felt that the girls
had told him to get something and that
he'd gone and clean forgot it.
"He drew in up to the house and I'M
loaded. The girls went over the list,
and they went over the goods, and ev-
cry one of their suspender buckles
say, better look that up, mebbe 1t
wasn't suspender buckles-and their
hints from Paris (Tex.), and their
peekay shirt waists, you know, and so
on. but just when the old man was
getting to feel bully, they turned
around and asked him.
but paw, where's maw?
"And I'll tell you this. just between
you and NEEDN'T give 1t to anybody
else; IL this convention don't put l6 to
1 in this platform there won't be
brush dweller in the country but will
take his list and go over the contents
of the platform wagon, and then ask
this measley old convention-say, this
is a fine convention. old man. just a
rip snorter-and, as I was saying. cv-
cry man Jack of 'em will get right up
on his hind legs If 16 to is left out
and yowl:
Paw, where's mawg"

HANNA FLOORS TELLER.

Extract from debate in United States
Senate on June 1:
Mr.. Teller: Mr.. President, I do not
like to engage in any political discus
sion here. / think | have been as clear
Of that as anybody. have said very
little about politics in the last year or
two, and / do not intend to say very
much upon that subject now; but when
the chief representative of the Repub-
lican party in the United States on
this fioor-and I speak advisedly when
say that-comes here and defends
what has been said by many OF his own
political friends here was robbery,
think am justified in saying that the
Republican party expect to repeat in
1900 what they did in 1896, when they
made an assessment upon every man
ufacturing concern In the United
States to sustain their candidate.
Mr.. Hanna: Will the senator allow
me moment?
Mr.. Teller: Yes.
Mr.. Hanna: / want to deny any such
insinuation or statement as that, for II
Is not true.
Mr.. Teller: I knew, of course, that
the senator would dispute 1t. Pe-hap:
one can not say technically that ii was
an assessment. OF course there was no
power in the national Republican con-
mittee to make such an assessment:
but / do say. Mr.. President, that there
was not national bank in the United
States, not one, no even in my own
state, that did not receive demand
for a contribution to the Republican
campaign fund.
Mr. Hanna: Allow me to answer
that.
Mr.. Teller: Certainly.
Mr. Hanna: The First National Bank
OF Denver, Colo. was the recipient OF
all the contributions: the president OF
that bank was the solicitor general of
the contributions that were made in
Colorado.
Mr.. Teller: For whom?
Mr.. Hanna: For the Democratic par
ty.
Mr. Teller: I understand that, but
the amount raised was inconsequential.
Mr.. Hanna: A few hundred thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Teller: No sir; 1t was not 5000
900. I myself know every dollar that
went through that bank.
Mr.. Hanna: So do |.
Mr.. Teller: Then the senator knows
that 100000 never went through It. He
knows that 100000 never went
through 1t.
Mr.. Hanna: I know there was over
100000.

SENATOR HoAR's ATTITUDE.

In recent interview Senator Hoar
declared President Mckinley and
Governor Roosevelt will have no more
earnest supporters in this country than
| shall be- A few days ago at the
customary summer outing of the Mas
sachusetts club at Marshfield he ex-
plained In detail why he should sup
port and vote for the Republican tick
ct and gave the reasons why those
who think as he does on the question
of the Philippines should not vote for
Bryan and Stevenson. AS to the gen.
eral grounds for his position Mr.. Hoar
said: Il propose to support the Re-
publican party this year because
think the welfare of the commonwealth
and the country and the future of Jus
tice and freedom and righteousness lie
that way; and IL / know myself, for
no other reason whatever, l propose
to support the Republican candidates
because / know the men, and In my
Judgment they are the best candidates;
and for no other reason whatsoever"
Senator Hoar was equally explicit
in stating why he could not support
the Democratic ticket His indictment
we're one. He condemned their free
silver madness, which would destroy
the country's prosperity; their free
trade folly which could only precip tate
business disaster; their determination
to repeal the war amendments and to
disfranchise ten millions of American
citizens; their attack upon the supreme
court of the United States, and their
dastardly effort TO win over American
farmers to the pestilent doctrines OF
socialism, and induce them to favor "a
division of property between the men
who earned it and the men who simply
covet 1t without earning 1t"
The utmost interest attaches to Mr..
Hoar's reference to imperialism" His
strong speech in the senate had led the
'anti-imperialists" to believe he would
be their leader in organizing an indie
pendent party, and had convinced the
Democrats he would be found in active
opposition to the election of the Re-
publican candidates. Both, however,
have counted without their host. Mr..
Hoar does not now favor the Philip
pine part of the treaty of Paris. He
does not now believe In the establish
ment Of American sovereignty over
those islands. He Is as earnest now as
he ever was in the belief that the
Philippines should be treated as Cuba
is to be treated. But, even thinking
and believing thus, he does not see
any reason why he should support the
candidates. He brings the
charge home TO Mr.. Bryan that "he
took that course which brought r;on
us the war in the Philippine islands,
the destruction of the life and health
of four or five thousand American sol
diers and of probably ten times that
of the people of these islands,
simply to keep the question for an is
sue in the coming campaign" From
this point Of view he would rather
trust the future of liberty in the
Islands, if that were the
only issue before the country, to Judge
Taft than to any agency that Mr.. Bry-
an is likely to command" Hence his
choice must be taken between the
man who was responsible for that
treaty, believing it was right, and the
man who was responsible for that
treaty knowing that il was wrong"

DEPEw ON IMPERIALISM"

From recent dispatch from Lon
don:
senator Depew has a signed article
IN the Daily Mail on Imperialism In
America in which he gives the Brit
lshers concise idea from the Repub-
lican standpoint of the question the
American people are about to fight out
with the ballot.
form as simply opposing everything,
and formulating no affirmative policy.
The whole gist of the anti-imper-
laiism, anti-militarism, and financial
proposal" he says, lis that the United
States shall abandon all its possessions
outside of the North American CONT
nent and become hermit nation"
He pictures Mckinley thus:
Mckinley, when elected. was known
chiefly on account Of his leadership on
tariff measures. The war with Spain
threw upon him great responsibilities.
The powers of the president of the
United States are broad. He organized
an army of 100000 men, modified a
fleet, ended 300 years of Spanish rule
in the Western Hemisphere, captured
the Philippine Islands, and destroyed
and sunk nearly the entire navy Of
Spain all in a hundred days from the
declaration of war.
He carried through the peace nego-
tiations successfully, and created gov
ernments for Cuba and the Spanish
possessions coded u.s."
OF Roosevelt he writes:
Colonel Roosevelt is the idol Of the
young men. He wanted to be again
governor OF New York instead OF the
vice president, but the cordiality and
unanimity of the demand forced him
to accept"
Regarding Bryan and his followers
Senator Depew says:
IAN ostrich with his head in the
sand, which is certain the hunter can
not see It's huge body swaying behind,
is wise bird compared to these states
men,"
AS for the people of the United
States, the Senator describes them as
progressive, expansive, ambitious,
and confident" and says "Bogies and
ghosts will not brighten them nor turn
them back from the position they have
reached among the great powers.
"The largest standing army ever pro-
posed for the national government was
100000 men, and to get up scare OF
militarism on this basis Is to convulse
the continent with the blare of tin
trumpet

BRYANS INTERMITTENT POP
ULISM

In Nebraska and South Dakota the
Democrats and Populists have put flu
sion tickets in the field.In those states
and in all other states where the Re-
publicans are strong the Democrats
have tender, brotherly love for the
Populists. But how is it in the south.
and where Mr.. Bryan expects to get
most Of the electoral votes? Do the
Democrats attend Populist conventions
and support Populist candidates there?
Not If they know it, and they generally
do. In those states where the Demo-
Gratis are supreme they treat the Pop
ulists with contempt or display toward
them the same political enmity that
they bring to bear against the Repub-
licans.
In Missouri, for instance, which state
adjoins Nebraska and Kansas, the Pop
ulists have nominated full ticket be-
cause they were unable to obtain any
recognition In the Democratic state
convention.
Mr.. Bryan meets the Populists OF
Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota
Kansas and Colorado with the same
greetings that he extends to the Demo-
Gratis of those states. They are "all
brothers. fighting for common cause"
But the moment he crosses the line in
to Missouri he must beg to be excused
when it is announced that delegation
of Populists would like to call and
congratulate him. The Populist is
good fellow where his vote is needed
and bothersome crank where the
Democrats can win without him.
1t was the South that refused to &C
cept Mr.. Towne. If Populist votes
had been needed to prevent the Repub-
licans from carrying the southern
states Mr.. Stevenson would not be on
the Democratic ticket today Mr.. Bry-
an and his Democratic followers are
playing a cunning political game in
those states where it Is thought flu
sion may result In the defeat of the
Republicans. II the Populists are not
aware OF the fact, 1t is only another
proof OF the saying that there Is none
SO blind as he that will not see.

A SAD JOURNEY

Mrs. James Narrower of San Fran
cisco arrived by the Alameda last We'd
nesday i'm response to a message from
the Islands saying that her husband
was sick. He was employed by the
Risdon Iron Works and was engaged
in putting up the plant at Kihei. AS
soon as she arrived here Mrs. narrower
communicated with the local agents of
the Risdon Company, only to be inform
of the death of her husband while she
was on her way here. The body had
been embalmed and Mrs. narrower re-
turned with it to the coast on the Mari

Cloud in Regard to Land Titles Cleared

At the Executive meeting this morn
ing Governor Dole read letter from
Assistant Secretary Ryan, of the In
terror Department, referring to a prior
letter of the Governor regarding home
stead leases, as made under the Hawa-
iian law. The Department does not
think such contracts are affected Wy the
five years lease clause in the Hawaiian
bill as practically fee simple title is
implied in the contracts and terms of
settlement.
Attorney General Dole was asked to
give an opinion on whether any change
in the tax ratio would have to be made
prior to January 1, the beginning of the
fiscal year. or might be left over until
after that time. There will certainly
be some changes, on account of the loss
of customs and other business. If il
is necessary to make this changs prior
to the end of the fiscal year it is readily
seen that an extra session of the legis-
lature will be required

WANTS POSSESSION OF LINCOLN

brick structure next to the MCinLNr@
premises on King near Alakea street
From the complaint it woud appear
that in 1897 Lincoln gave Mcintyre Il
bill of sale or something OF that sort
of the building. Prior to that time. fox
number of years there had been nu-
merous transactions between Ltncoln
and Allen, on the strength of which the
latter seized, or took possession Of the
building.
Mcintyre does not sue in ejectment-
He tells the court that if there is any
balance due by Lincoln to Allen he WIZ
pay it. All he wants is a complete sur
render of the property. He does not
admit that Lincoln owes anything to
Allen but says that such is possible and
that he is willing to foot the bill'' in
such case. Mr.. Allen has had possession
of the building about two years and
has collected the rents on it.
M. f. Scott has filed his bond in the
sum of $1,000 as clerk of the third cir
