Senator Allison once came within an
inch of being President, and the men
ton of his name for 1904 recalls the wide
favor with which his candidacy for the
Republican nomination was greeted in
past years. He is more like Mckinley
than any other aspirant; he comes from
the West; he has the confidence of the
business interests which more and more
control the politics of the country; and
he is tried and spotless statesman. If
he should be given the Republican
standard to carry three years hence
large majority of the American people
would be likely to follow it.

The sudden calling together of packed
Grand Jury and the proceedings which
followed is proof enough of this.
VII. Humphreys admitted native leg
lslators to the Bar without examination,
the men so honored having little or no
knowledge of law; and he did it to bind
them to his political support. No truth
full man in Honolulu disputes these
facts.
These are the main charges brought
by DR.. Bishop and they are as true
as any evidence that ever convicted a
rogue in court before jury of twelve
men. Behind them is a personal his
tory of Judge Humphreys which reveals
him. as we have said before, in the
character of a fugitive criminal on the
Bench.

washington correspondents who are
on the watch for the charges TO be filed
against Humphreys by the Hawaiian
Bar Association should possess their
souls in patience. The committee of
the Association is proceeding with its
work but the testimony against the
branded judge is so voluminous, and is
being so well supplemented by testi-
mony from the South and Southwest,
where Humphreys made the greater
part of his criminal record. that much
more time will have to be used in writ
ing the brief When the latter appears
1t will make book which the President,
as well as the correspondents, will find
absorbing. in the story it tells of how
q scamp who ought to be in the peni-
Tertiary found his way to the bench
and there misused his opportunities.

Sarah Hoggins, Tennyson's Heroine.

Of an ancestor. In 1880 Henry Cecil,

to the, seQuestered Bolas Common, in
Shropshire, where he was thought by the
rustics to be highwayman in disguise.

love him for himself alone, he selected

NEW SETTLERS IN NORTHWEST.
Estimated that 10000 Persons Have
Gone There. ~ r.. 4

1stA"ateu tnat 4O,OQO Persons Have
Gone There. H. Il
During the, spring there were twelve
weekly excursions west from st. Paul,
and to accommodate this travel to Wash
ington the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern sent out an average of four
trains a week each, says a St. Paul
paper. The business has been very
evenly divided between these two roads
and an approximate estimate made by
railroad officials Of these ninety-six
trains shows that at 500 passengers for
each train $4,000 homeseekers have gone
West since the foregoing date. These
have all gone west of Montana. Not
more than 1000 Of these passengers have
been railroad laborers, Sc that it appears
that the West has gained $4,000 new
settlers this spring. In addition to the
far West movement, about 5000 home
seekers have gone into North Dakota by
the various lines.
1t is understood that homeseekers'
rates will again be placed in force after
the full crop is harvested in September.

IN AN OLD ROOkSTALL.
Here for song you may command
Old books, we'll thumbed and hoarv;
Along the grimy walls they stand,

Old books, we'll thumbed and hoary;
Along the grimy walls they stand,
Tones OF immortal story.
And out Of reach, on loftier shelves, =
Beyond our small ambitions
And slender purse dwell by themselves
The costlier first editions
There let them rest til Croesus comes;
We really do not need them,
Content to banquet on the crumbs.
We buy our books-and read them!
The one that bears the marks of use,
Back-broken, worn and shattered,
Is dearer that Its leaves are loose,
Its poor frame rent and tattered.
This grim Old keeper of the stall
Tends these dead things in leather
And sheep and cloth and parchment--all
Close sequlchred together:
And few, alias! beside ourselves
Who prowl about the portals.
Seek out along the dusty shelves
The names OF these immortals.
Here where the city's life goes by
Where wheel and wagon rumble,
Wrapped in their cerements they lie,
The lofty and the humble.
Dust unto dust-but from their sleep
Come bright. immortal flashes;
Their spirits into being leap
From out their cruhlbling ashes.
They are not dead. these silent tones;
They die not. save in seeming;
Far from these bookish catacombs
They fill the world with dreaming.
And each that some small message gives,
Or makes for high endeavor,
Puts off mortality, but lives
And works it's will forever!
