Of late, Hawaii has had more
than her share of political turmoil
and internal brawllng, Now comes
the report that Governor Sanford B.
Dole has resigned aud that the
official notice of his retirement is en-
route to Washington. There is a
strong opposition TO the gubernato-
rial incumbent In certain quarters
and efforts have repeatedly been
made to smirch his official character
1t is not to be forgotten, however,
that the present Governor has ac-
complished great deal for his
country, that lie has been reliable
executive officer and that his success
or, If Mr.. Dole has resigned, is like

ment as well as the representative

to catch up Brookshire broke,
and that so bad that he lost the
heat. In the second heat Brook
shire gave Adam a very neat race.
Adam won by just a head; the
third heat was the most exciting,
because Adam, with already two
heats to his credit, did all in his
power to win the third one, which
would give him the race and the
purse of $3.50. At the start
Adam as usual took the lead, and
many were Of the belief that
Brookshire had given up, but in
the three quarters, it was noticed
that Brookshire was steadily gain
ing, and he finished barely a neck
ahead of Adam. Adam however,
had the best of the argument in
the fourth heat, and Won the race.

Unjust Persecution.

The press of the country, espeei-
ally throughout the North have
begun crusade against what they
call yellow journalism and almost
to a unit pour out the walls of Their
rath upon the head OF Hearst the
proprietor of the New York Jour
nal, Chicago American and the
San Francisco Examiner.
Judge perhaps the most rabid of
all the papers,published cartoon III
Its last Issue representing Hearst
carrying the yellow flag marching
side by side with the anarchist
carrying aloft the red flag and burn
ing torch. Were the Hearts journals
guilty in some degree Of sedlclous
and revolutionary differences ali
attack such as Judge has made,
would have been, IN some degree
justified, but in our opinion the
persecution is altogether unalled
for, the Journal has been one of the
most outspoken of the great dailies
in condemnlng the vile deed OF
Czolgosz, and in fact anarchy IN any
form. It Is true that during the two
compalgns, of Mckinley, the Jour
nal criticized him, his policy and
party principals, bat when McKln-
ley become the President the Jour-
nal as every loyal paper should do
acknowledged him President of all
the American people and if since
then it criticized certain actions of
the President and his Cabinei;it was
done i'll MUD manner and It

can right OF free speech which
not one Of lis Prosecutors have

THE TURNING POINT.

Theodore Roosevelt has reached
the turning point IN his political
career. For several years he has
cherished the ambition to be Presi-
dent; when he was offered the nomi-
nation for Vice President last year
he hesitated to accept 1t for fear
that it might interfere with his de-
sire to reach the first place. Ever
since his Inauguration he has look
I'd forward to 1894 as the time for
the realization Of his hopes. He ex
pected to secure the nomination of
bis party, but he knew that ii
would be secured, If secured at all,
at the end Of splrlte contest. All
at once, as the result Of an assas-
sin's shot, he was usherei into the
Presidency. Ills 70 ldest aspirations
have. been realized; the highest honor
within the gift Of the people IN any
land is now his. With what spirit
will he enter upon The discharge Of
duties? The answer to this question
is Of tremendous importance 10 b m
and to his country. He has three
years and one-halt IN which 10 show
the American people his conception
of Official duty. Will he be content
to devote himself unselfishlY to the
public good IS he sees il, or will he

A GALA DAY.

Sunday, the day talked of so
much, was a gala one for New
Iberia The weather was ideal
and the crowds that came
here, had the satisfaction of wit
Messing some of the best and
fastest races ever seen in this part
of the country.
Unlike the last excursi on day,
the visitors were treated we'll.
The racing committee had ar
ranged with the different livery
men to charge but fifteen cents
to and from the park, and large
printed card boards were attached
to every vehecle carrying the
visitors to and from the park,
telling them the fare was but
fifteen cents.
"A SOOu lCdtuLC Wdo .IlC UdI !.
That did a good business, and was
crowded all the afternoon and
selling at moderate prices, no beer
at 1Octs glass, etc.
The restaurant was in compe
tant hands, and nothing but
praise has been heard of the meals
to be had there. Their accomoda-
ton had been looked for, and the
crowds could enjoy their meals
away from the bar room, away
from the different gambling, etc
All in all, the Park Association
is to be congratulated upon their
Sundays programme as the sue
cess of the day is due to a great
extent, to that body.

The different excursion trains
came in early and on time, and
the excursionists were much more

The crowds we're treated better,
too. They were charged only fif-
teen cents each way to and from
the park, and at the park the
refreshments and drinks were sold
at moderate prices, while at the
restaurant, they secured as good
a meal as is possible to serve for
the money.
The Lawn Tennis match game
between the Houma and New
Iberia Teams, proved to be not SO
very interesting, and though both
teams made a very fine appear
ance, they nevertheless did not
attract much attention. The
Band Contest, which was to be a
feature of the day, was declared
off, owing to the fact that not
enough entries were made to con-
stitute a contest. Many people
were disappointed on this account,
but the Park Association were in
no way to be blamed, as they
did all they could to make the
affair a success

The Tcrropin Disease.

The terrapin is thought to have much influence in causing sickness, and the tcrrapin disease is either q rheumatic atfiiction about tie chest and ribs or possibly some pulmonary trouble. The association of the terrapin with diseases in this portion of the body doubtless originates from the fact that the ribs of the terrapin are not free, as in the case of most of the higher animals, but are united into one piece
