HAWAII AT THE CONVENTION.

The delegates from Hawaii to the
two great conventions at Philadel-
phia aud Kansas City have covered
themselves with glory and have re-
ceived very hatteving recognition.
In the Republican convention the
Hawaiian delegates, Colonel Samuel
Parker and Judge Kepoikai were
among those chosen TO notify Presi-
dent Mckinley and Governor Roose-
velt of their nomination, and at the
Democratic convention in Kansas
City the Hawaiian delegation cast
the deciding vote in favor of the 16.

on the Committee on Platform, and
it was there the great orators and
best statesmen from all different
States assembled. 1t was the high
est honor in the convention to be
member of this committee, and |
met the most renowned of all Am
erica's sons. The question most de-
bated on was whether there should
be q special mention of 16 to j or
not; many heated debates were Of
fered, and we stayed in secret ses-
sion from p. m. till 6, and then
from 8 till in the morning. Let
me tell you that it was Hawaii that
cast the winning vote for l6 to l
and after we adjourned great men
hocked around me and congratulat-
ed me for doing as l did, and to top
the climax the rest of the commit
tee who did not agree with us that
night came and told me that l had
saved the day for Bryan, and that
word had been received from
Bryan that he would not have ac-
cepted the nomination il 16 to / was
not mentioned in the platform.
Yesterday during the seconding
OF Mr.. Bryan Hawaii was called up
on and had to respond for Hawaii.

by just rising up and standing on

scarcely say anything Of Importance
about the platform II II tried. The
concurring action Of democratic con-
yentions in various states has produo-
ed the impression that the capture OF
larks through falling Of the sky is
considerably more probable than the
naming OF any other man instead Of
Bryan, and when the final decision
Of the national convention is reached
It is likely to be regarded the safe and
shrewd policy to avoid any appearance
OF shirking or oensuring the declare
convictions OF the inevitable candidate,
There has been frank opposition by
republicans to some OF President Nc
Kinley's acts, but there has not been
the slightest idea that any other man
would be or could be nominated. and
the succession OF harmonious conven-
tions has merely confirmed the pre-
vailing assurance. II is exactly at this
juneture that the election in distant
Oregon has much significance. 1t indi-
Gates the temper Of the people regard
ing presidential choice which there Is
not the slightest reason to suppose the
convention will alter. Between Nc
Kinley and Bryan in a state which gave
the president only 1000 majority four
years ago. and which has since been
sharply in dispute. the election now
indicates a majority Of 5000 or 10000.
II is a state in which the silver folly
long had great influence. a state smit-
ten mere than most others by the
populist epidemic, state fronting on
the Pacific and more liable than almost
any other to be unfavorably affected
if any invasion of cheap Asiatic labor
should come through the Nations
backdoor. What state in the Union
which can be called even fair fighting
ground is likely to object to the great
policies of the administration If Ore
gon does not?
All things considered, the election in
Oregon appears to leave the democrats
without reasonable hope Of obtaining
electoral votes from the Pacific states.
Even in that section. which has the
strongest direct interest in pending
questions of foreign policy. the demo-
Gratis appear to have chosen an issue
on which they have not one chance Of
gaining anything, but many chances of
losing votes.

There have been so many unpleasant
rumors about Spanish finances of late
that it is particularly gratifying to
learn that the latest government loan
has been subscribed twenty-four times
over, and that the general outlook Of
the treasury is now decidedly hopeful.
Spain still has within herself too many
resources of wealth and greatness to
permit her ignominiously to fall into
ruin. Uncle Sam has always been a
"forgiving brother" and now that the
latest unpleasantness" has been dis
posed of, no further animosity can be
honestly felt.

ORIGIN OF THE ~BoxERs.'

The BOXERS are stin mystery to
the Chinese minister. who says they
we're never heard OF in China up to the
time Of his departure from this coun-
try three years ago. But a Chinese
American named sun Vow Pang ven
lures an explanation of their origin in
the New York Herald.
According to this authority the pres
ent troubles may be related back to the
disputes between the progressive party
which had the emperor for its fig
urehead and the conservative party OF
the empress dowager. 1t viii be re-
membered that the emperor blossomed
out as a reformer and issued several
edicts which made the representatives
Of old China shudder with aversion
and iismay. Competent critics said at
the time that his methods were so
crude ana arbitrary as to be utterly
Impractical. though they were inspired
by correct motives. Events justified
their predictions. Supersttions. long
established customs and abuses could
not be overcome at word. and the
reform movement played right into
the hands of the empress. Like most
of her cOuntrymsn, she hated the for
eigners. The refprmers were the for
eigner's friends. Hence China for the
Chinese was the import of a counter
revolution. and such of the reform
leaders as did not have their heads cut
of were glad to escape to distant
lands.
Now Sun Vow Pang says that after
the empress was restored to power the
Yee Ho Chuan righteousness. harmony
and fists, hence ''Boxers") organized
their secret society 10 assist IN the
work of discouraging those reformers
who were not discouraged enough al
ready. and to help check the foreign
devils. among whom. in spite of the
contradiction in terms. were the mis-
sionaries. AS time passed checking
became numbering. and the wicked
old woman either abetted or winked at
the crime. That is why the imperial
troops have made no headway against
the so-called rebellion and why the
powers have united in self-protection.
Apparently China's greatest need is
the deportation of the baleful Ono La
She. We regret if we fail in the cour-
tesy due the sex. but that sinister and
ancient dame ought to be sent to sea
in sieve.

OREGON AND THE POLITICAL
OUTLOOK.

New York Tribune.
With the adjournment Of congress
and the Oregon election the country
passes at once from preparation to cam
paigning. Rarely, indeed, has It hap
pened that the future has appeared so
clear as it does now, prior to the hold
ing of the national conventions. Where
there is anything like a well defined
public opinion swaying either party
it's convention seldom gives the coun-
try a sensation or surprise. There was
a closer approach to variation in the
New York democratic convention than
the machine often permits, and yet a
delegation instructed to vote for the
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan, after he has
been making his own platform for
years in the most public way. could

The new law relating TO the army
provides that the major general COM
manding the army shall hereafter have
the rank of lieutenant general, and tina,
the adjutant general OF the army shall
have the rank Of major general This
act promoted Adjutant General Corbin
who did not specially merit the dis

The rank Of lieutenant general was

died as lieutenant general of the army.

Winfield Scott won the battles Of Chip

captured the city of Mexico. He was
promoted to the rank OF lieutenant
general. and died on the retired list
with that rank.
Our civil war produced no higher mill
itary rank than that Of major general
until the spring of 1864, when the rank
Of lieutenant general was created for
Grant. Soon after the war the rank Of
general was created. and Grant was
promoted to the highest military rank
known in the country. with General
Sherman as lieutenant general. When
Grant became president Sherman was
promoted to the rank OF general and
sheridan succeeded Sherman as leu
tenant general. muca to the disap-
pointment of Generals Meade and
Thomas and their friends.
When Sheridan was on his death bed
the rank Of general was revived by
congress, and Sheridan was promptly
