REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.
Saturday Night Several Were Held
In Different Districts

The Saturday night rallies of the Re-
publican party all over the city were
well attended and the results were
fattering to the Republican leaders
The meeting on Queen street near the
new foundry cite was one of the largest
ever held in the city. The speakers
estimate that nearly 1000 men and wo-
men were in attendance and gave evil
dence that their sympathies were en-
tlrely with the Republican cause.
Among the speakers were VIM. Hogs.
James II. Boyd, Clarence Crabbe, A. G..
NJ. Robertson, Charles Wilcox, Keiki,
Jonah Kumalae and others
At David Nahoolewa's place on EN-
ma street big rally was held in con-
nection with a luau. A. G. Nj. Robert
son was the principal speaker and re-
ceiVed the entire attention of the audi
ence.
AT w. c. Achfs residence, Palama. a
rally and luau We're held, the Independ-
ents partaking of the latter feature.
Among the speakers were Samuel Par
ker, w. c. Achi, Clarence Crabbe, Geo.
r. Carter and Chas. Crozier.
George Markham, secretary of the
independent party. was introduced to
the audience and made a speech in
which he said he favored the Repub-
lican party as the party which would
bring prosperity to the country. Two
or three Independents in the crowd at
tempted to mob Markham for his
statements but were prevented by the
Republican bystanders. Another at
tempt was also made to carry Mark
nam bodily over to the Independent
meeting nearby

BY the appointment of negro

the Republican party does all in ITS

ON BEHAZF or THE
CLERKS.

The Gazette regrets to note the
fact that one or two merchants of
this town refused to sign the agree
ment to close the stores at 2 O'Clock
during the dull months of summer.
A list of those who consented to
close was published in last Satur.
days issue of this paper.
The refusal of one or two recall
citrant merchants will perhaps
nullify the agreement. Should this
happen a great hardship will be in
ficted upon the clerks who are, for
obvious reasons, very much inter
ested in the early closing of the
stores.
The success of this movement
means a great deal to the clerks.
1t means a much-needed rest to
them during the season Of the year
when the oppressive heat makes
labor irksome. Shorter hours dur
ing the hot months is no doub: con
ducive to both the meltal and ply
steal health of those employed as
statesmen and saleswoinen IN the
mercantile establishments and it is
unfortunate for this if for no other
reason that all our merchants could
not see their way clear to affix their
signatures to the agreement. 1t
should be noted, however, that the
merchants of the town, with one or
two notable exceptions, cheerfu'ly

NEGRO ENU1IERA TORS.

The appointment of negro emu
merators by Judge Yoist In the dis
trict of which Ascension forms a
part has caused no little indignation
among the white people of that sec
ton.
Speaking of this unwise policy of
the census authorities the Donald
vile Chief says:
There are ten districts and eleven emu
merators, two having been assigned for ser
vice in the town of Donaldsonville. Six of
the eleven are negroes, and while most OF
them are fairly well qualified for an intelli-
gent performance of the duties of census
takers. the policy of their appointment to
such places cannot be expected to command
the approval of the white people Of the COM
rnunity. The assignment of colored emu
merators to Donaldsonville is particularly
Objectionable, and the bad character Of one
of the appointees-ssBuddy'' Sullivan, son
of the notorious Jerry Sullivan and a bird of
the same feather his INSCRIPTIONS pro

dgnation with which the announcement OF
these selections has been received.
One can we'll imagine the serious
trouble which may result from the
appointment Of negro enumerators
in Southern communities. 1t was
hoped thai the present administra-
ton would not use its authority in
this matter to insult the white peo-
pie of the South.
The duties Of the enumeratorS are
of such a nature as to make the APP
paintment of negroes decidedly OBJ
jectionable. Young bucks, clothed
with Federal authority and filed
with the insolence characteristic Of
the present generation Of negroes,
are liable to get themselves into
trouble when they will attempt to
interrogate Southern ladies' Of cul-
ture and refinement.

Morgan is the father Of expansion
as that term has been employed the
last two years. Years ago he be-
gan to advocate the construction Of
an isthmian canal to connect the
Atlantic and the Pacific. No more
persistent man ever held a seat in
the United States Senate; no more
industrious man ever held a seat in
any Senate. His writings and
speeches on the canal project would
make many volumes. Concerning
it he has read whole libraries. He
knows more about it than all the
rest Of the Senate, than all the res,
of the country. There may be
much Of his knowledge on the sub
iect that is error. That is to be
seen, but he is honest in his views;
he is man of powerful intellect,
and he loves his country.

BLACK HILLS POLITICS.

Deadwood Correspondence Minneap-
oils Journal: There seems to be a
difference Of opinion among the leading
Black Hills republicans, whether they
want a senator or a congressman during
the coming election. There is an old
saying that the Black Hills can get
whatever it goes after. providing there
is unity in forces. Thus far there has
been nothing in the way of q united
effort put forth to get anything for the
reason that 1t is much too early. There
is large number Of candidates in the
field, mostly from Lawrence county,
many of whom are among the brightest
men in South Dakota.
ut is really immatsrial," said prom
inent republican of Deadwood," wheth.
er the Black Hills gets a senator or q
congressman. Either place can be made
of the greatest Importance to the Black
Hills, when the man comes from this
side of the Missouri. The senators and
congressman that have been produced
from the eastern part Of the state here
tofore have done perhaps, as well as they
have been able to do; but oftentimes
the needs of the Black Hills have been
sorely neglected. believe that a rep
resentation of the republicans of the
Hills should get together at an early
date and definitely decide whsther it
shall be senatorial or a congressional
fight. I believe that it would be as easy
for the Hills to get senator as a con-
gresham. Should Robert Gamble COM
NIT himself for the senate, it would
greatly relieve the embarrassment OF
the Black Hills republicans, for there
would then be but one thing for them
to do, that is, to put up candidate for
congress. 1t is not to be expected, how
ever, that Mr. Gamble will commit him.

The department of the interior has
recently applied to the department of
agriculture for complete working plans
to be prepared by the division of fores-
try, for all the national forest reserya-
tions in the west. This is one Of the
most important steps taken in the ad-
ministration of these reserves since
their creation by the president and will,
eventually, transform them into a rev.
enue producing part of the national
economy.
Several years will be required to exc.
cute the project. 1t will be necessary
to determine the present condition OF
the forest, what merchantabls timber
occurs, and how it can be marketed
to meet continuously the requirements
of the people without injury to the pro-
ductivs power of the forest.
The division of forestry will begin
work in few weeks in the Black Hills
reserve in South Dakota. This requires
the earliest attention because its timber
supply is needed by the large number
of settlers, miners, and mill men. The
extent of this demand will be investiga'.
ed and plans DEVISED for meeting il
without exhaustion of the supply. An
estimate of standing timber will
be made and the rate of growth will be
studied in order to provide satisfactory
basis for predicting the future yield Of
the forest.
