The Best Way to Honor McKinIey's
Memory.

From the Nelc York Sun.
One of the most beneficent results of
Mr.. McKinley's Administration was the
obliteration of sectional feelings. the ac-
tual restoration of thorough conscious
ness of union. the solidarity of American
patriotism. He was murdered not as a
man. but as the representative OF the
nation and its Government. The bitter
ness of party spirit should not be renewed
as soon as he is committed 70 the earth
To his successor. called so suddenly
and terribly to take up the burden. the
support of general good viii should be
given He comes to his task with seri-
BUSINESS and high purpose known to all.
Without self seeking and in absolute de-
votion to the principles and memory of
him who is zone. he enters upon his
great duties. His patriotism. his earnest
ness. his high ideal of public life. the
frank and manly ehivalry of mis- nature.
beSpeak for him the svmDathv and the

Mckinley is to make the Administration

continuation of the dead Presidents

1t is well for Dr. A. L. Winslow
that he is called to account for his
alleged crimes in the law-abiding Ter
ritory of Hawaii In almost any other
State or Territory of the Union a man
accused of such offenses as Winslow
is accused of would as certainly be
lynched as that the sun win sink to
the west after meridian today, and in
many States hanging would give way
to burning at the stake Fortunately
for the coed name of this Territory
the law will take its course even
against so monstrous a crime as that
one Winslow is accused of.

HONOLULU, H. T., OCT. 10, 1901
so THE PEOPLE NAY KNOW.

People Of Honolulu again had the
fact strihngly demonstrated yester-
day morning that II they wish to OBJ
tain the news they must read The
Republican. The steamer Peru ar.
rived OF port yesterday morning
shortly after l O'Clock and both OF
the morning papers sent representa-
tlves out TO the steamer TO obtain the
Associated Press dispatches and files
OF the latest coast papers. The Ad-
vertiser Of yesterday morning had
the following concerning the yacht
races in which all the people were so
greatly interested
The Columbia won three races all BY
narrow margins The last race was won
barely hy the Columbia's time allowance
az fortr-three seconds. Such was the IN
formation obtained from the steamship
Peru at an early hour this morning No
papers containing the account OF any OF
the contests could be obtained
Whatever may have been the diff
Guilty Of the Advertiser in securing
papers containing news OF the con-
tests The Republican had no such ex-
perieuce. This paper appeared on the
streets at the usual hour yesterday
morning with a three-column account
Of the second and third races between
the Columbia and Shamrock II and
several columns Of other interesting
news OF the world none Of which was
to be found in its slow-going con-
temporary.
Moral-If you don't read The Re
publican you don't get the news.

SUSPICION OF COAL HUNTERS
That One Dropped a Hunk in the
Prospect Hole

Guthrie, 0. T., Feb. 2.-Of the result of
the boring for coal in that vicinity the
CARRIER Sentinel says: The prospect COM
pany vas greatly disappointed when the
shaft reached the bottom Of the drill hole
without developing any coal. which has
caused them 10 suspect that some person
placed a charge Of coal in the hole for
their drill 10 play upon and fool them
into sinking a shaft, which demonstrates
the fact that a core drill should be used
wherever 1t is necessary TO know just
what stratas are gone through. Not
withstanding the disappointment at not
developing coal as expected, the prospects
are so good that they have decided to
drill deeper with a core drill IN hopes Of
soon reaching d vein. It is becoming ap-
parent that a mistake was made in Sc
Letting the place to do the prospecting, as
it is near to an upheaval where the indi-
cations were good but where the stratas
are so much disturbed that coal beds
were most likely destroyed, so they viii
