WILLIAM DRCHE.
President of the Drnhe Hardwood Lumber
Company and one of the best-knOwn bust
ness men OF st. Louis. who has consented
TO become candidate for the Democratic
nomination for City Collector.
things Colonel Swift said: "St. Louis has
reached crisis in her history. She is about
to undertake task of stupendous magni-
tude that will call for the very best brains
of the city.
Besides this it is of the greatest impor-
tance that men of the largest business ex-
perience and integrity should be called 10
discharge the executive duties of the CITY,
The great Worlds Fair of 1893 is the near
est public question TO the hearts of all
classes of our people at this time and they
.ook to the Democratic party 10 make that
great undertaking a success. The Repub-
lican party has forfeited its right to the
respect and confidence Of our people. The
record of the last four years stamps II as
unworthy OF public trust, and at this very
moment Henry Ziegenhein, Mayor of St
Louis by the grace of the Republicans of
this city. has fled his bailiwick and. to
avoid signing bill that makes the Worlds
Fair possible. is hiding from public officials
private individuals and newspaper men
who are hunting high and low for him.
If the Republicans ever had a chance
to carry the city, IL has gone glimmering
now. The people are looking to Democra~
cy 70 redeem the good name of the
metropolis Of the Mississippi Valley, and
1t now devolves upon you. gentlemen the
wheel horses of Democracy gathered here,
to see that they ere not disappointed.
1.-The business interests of the city are
united in favor of Roila Wells: IL you pomi-
nate him he will be elected by a majority
that will put an end for all time to the
election of inefficient city officials Go hack
to your wards, and from this day to the
day of the primaries. leave no stone un-
turned that will make sure OF Wells leie-
cation from your respective wards"
Colonel Swifts remarks were enthusias-
tically applauded. The various wards were
then called and reported the condition OF
affairs. The canvass showed that at least
twenty of the twenty-eight wards can be
safely relied upon to send Wells delegates
to the convention. The remaining eight in
sisted that Wells has. at least, an even
chance. and that II he did not get SOLID
delegations from them, he would, at least
capture some of the delegates
The delegations were then fled with
Chairman Guion, after which the meeting
adjourned.

de knows better, and he must under

AS an Independent party the Hawaii

The representatives of the people,

party. I do not say this is true, but 1t
might be. and I do not see any other
point IN the movement I know what
Mr.. Wilcox is driving at, as 1 said, but
I have no faith"
Representative Emmeluth said that he
knew very little about the matter, as he
had not had time to inform himself or
to think about 1t. But" said he, "as
I understand 1t, this changing Of the
name of the Home Rule party is with
the object of attaining Statehood,
through afdliating with the party In ma
jority in Congress. I don't know how
Mr.. Wilcox figures this out, but if he
counts making a State of the Terri
tory simply through a name, he will find
himself mistaken. With the record made
by the party up to the present time, it
would not help them in this matter to
ally themselves with any party. I don't
think coalition at this time will assist
the Home Rule element in any degree to
obtain Statehood, if that is their pur-
pose There must be coupled with the
proposition for coalition, a record by the
Home Rule party up to, if not above, the
average showing of legislative work ac-
complished by legislators of the party
they propose to affiliate with, in the
Legislatures OF the Mainland. Tnis must
be done to put them on level with the
party they wish to affiliate with, and to
give them standing. A record must be
made by the Home Rule party in legis-
lative work before we can expect to have
the question OF Statehood even consider
ed, much less acted upon. l am totally
ignorant of the motives of the action Ia
ken in changing the name, and am not
informed as to the policy of recent move
ments; for this reason 1 am not inclined
to discuss the question, but 1 viii say in
regard to the diplomacy of the move
ment, if there is thought to be diplomacy
in it, that If we had used a little more
diplomacy at home we would have been
in a much better situation far as the
future is concerned. Furthermore, If the
Home Rulers think to acquire Statehood
through merely tacking the word Re
publican to their name, they will find
out that 1t will require something more
than mere party alliance, or express
sion of party alliance, to accomplish that.
The Home Rule party will find out also
that they will be judged, not by the name
they bear, but by the work they accom-
plish."

PAINS FRIENDS AT LUNCH.
twenty-five Cents the Standard Rate
for a Meal

How about those free-lunch legisla
tors-are they still coming?" was a
question put yesterday to Honolulu's $
famous old yictualler, H. J. Nolte.
There are no free lunch legislators,
was the reply. IAN their bills are
paid"
who pays them?"
We'll, sometimes Prendergast comes
after the tickets and sometimes Moss
man, but I always get my money
DO you know who gives the money
to them?'
No, I DON'T was Mr.. Notes reply.
Not long ago Prendergast came in and
made big row because the legislators
were eating too much. Some of them
had eaten forty cents, fifty cents and
even sixty cents worth at a meal.
Prendergast-or maybe it was Moss
man, I don't remember-said the limit
for legislator was twenty-five cents.
They took all the bills and averaged
them up so no one man would seem to
have eaten more than another
Did the average look like thirty
cents?" 4 / "A

THE COUNTY BILL.
It Was Considered Last Evening in
Committee.

The House committee having the
County bill in charge had an evening
session. The committee went rapidly
through the bill, making several unim
portant amendments, chiefly relating to
typographical errors. a section provid-
ing for the erection of a court room,
Jail and offices for the Sheriff and 9TH
er officers of any county not having
court house or Jail, caused much
amusement by its ambiguous wording.
Suggestions as to the comfort of the
officers. mosquito netting for instance,
were offered and the section was final
ly amended. Some difficulty was expe-
rienced in obtaining a quorum. the
Sergeant-at-Arms having to go into the
highways and byways, finally bringing
back Gilfllan, Robertson, Monsarrat
and Kumalae. who made their entrance
amid cheers. After reaching well down
into the last chapter the House COM
mittee was found to have melted away
until no quorum remained. An adjourn
ment was then carried. The sections
on fees still remain for discussion.

Julian Ralph's Theory.

Julian Ralph explains the philosophy
of the latest gorgeous pageant in Lon
don by remarking that the English
people are so suffocated and chilled by
fogs and depressing climatic conditions
that they hunger for relief in color and
merriment. That is why they have the
most gorgeous army in Europe; that
is why they drink more than any two
nations on earth: that is why they
wear more red on the streets and keep
up their medieval pageants longer
than their neighbnrs and are the
greatest patrons of the theater, the
most ardent lovers of pantomime and
ballet on the earth.

THOMAS P. SPENCER.
The Veteran Hawaiian Printer and
Writer Passes Away.

Thomas P. Spencer, one Of the vet
eran printers of Honolulu, died at his
home near Liliha street on Monday aft
ernoon after an Illness lasting several
months. AS one of the oldest printers
in this City, Mr.. Spencer has worked
under almost every publisher and in
every newspaper and printing estab-
lishment here. For many years he was
connected with the Advertiser as the
foreman of the job room. The paper at
that time was under the control of
Walter Murray Gibson. Subsequently
he was in the Office while Mr.. Haysel-
den had charge. He worked for the
late Robert Grieve. Foreman and
printer, he was always considered
good workman. After giving up active
work at the case. he wrote for the Kuo-
koa' and other Hawaiian papers. He
was half-caste and was bright man.
He wrote principally in the Hawaiian
language and his articles always found
ready use. In the days when the Ele-
le. the Holomua and Ke Leo ka La
hui were published he was one OF the
writers for them.
Tom" Spencer, as he was familiarly
