tween this Democratic policy OF retreat
and the Republican policy which would
hold the islands, give them freedom

true TO our own. We have no distrust

Bert NJ. Thomas. the representative
of the internal revenue department, has

some respects the easiest job OF the

W. S. Chance and Andrew Smith are
here representing the customs depart

an endless amount OF detail. The Ha-

cent.
From the postoffice department, Mes
srs. Flint and Hall are here to start
the new system. The Hawaiian system
was closely allied to the American
system also. There win be no radical
changes here. Hawaiian stamps carry
