THE RALLIES.

The voters are having every oppor-
tunity for understanding the political
situation. In every part of the city
the speakers of the Republican party
are at work nightly, and the standpoint
from the Republican direction is being
most thoroughly exploited. Nothing
shows the determination of the Repub-
lican party so well as these repeated
meetings. 1t means campaign work OF
The most vigorous and arduous kind,
but it also means winning the fight
hands down.
Not only has the battle been thus vi
gOrously pushed in Honolulu and on the
Island Of Oahu, but the Republicans Of
every Island are carrying on a similar
campaign. There is not a small village
or aggregation of houses upon the Isl
ands of Maui and Hawaii that has not
been visited and that will not be visit
ed again and again by Republican
campaign speakers. There is a lively
interest kept up in the fight continu-
Ously.
Nothing can be more encouraging to
the Republican managers than the
deep interest taken in their meetings
by the general voters. The Home Rul-
ers hold meetings too. bu. in general
they are hole and corner affairs. They
are carried on in a great measure in
secret, for fear the Republicans should
appear and be called upon by the meet
ing to expOund their views. The Re
publicans have boldly gon, into the
Home Rule strongholds and converted
Home Rulers to their way of thinking

which is one of the finest in the West
Indies. St. Thomas is twelve miles
long and from one to three miles wide.
1t has population of 1O,SS6 and is sit
uated thirty-six miles from Porto Rico.
ST. John is eight miles long, and has
an area Of about forty square miles
with a population of less than 1000
st. Croix is the largest of the Islands,
is nineteen miles long with an area of
81 $50 acres of which 10000 acres are
cultivated in sugar. The exports aver
age about half a million of dollars.
From the point of view of CONNER
cial value these Islands are hardly
worth the acquisition, but their politi-
cal value is quite another thing and
has united both Republican and Demo-
a report upon the purchase of the ISL
ands Senator Lodge said;
THE arguments in favor of the pos
session of these Islands can be briefly
stated and are unanswerable. So long
as these Islands are in the market
there is always the danger that some
european power may purchase or Try
to purchase them. This would be an
infraction of the Monroe Doctrine, and
would at once involve the United
States in a very serious difficulty with
the European power which sought pos
session of the Islands. In the inter
ests of peace it is of great Importance
that these Islands should pass into
the hands of the United States and
cease to be a possible source of foreign
complications which might easily lead
TO war
In a further portion of his argument
Senator Lodge adds: AS has been
pointed out by Captain Mahan, St.
Thomas is one of the great strategic
points in the West Indies. The popu-
lation is only $4,000 of whom nearly
80 900 are negroes, the other being
chiefly of English or Danish extrac-
ton. There is no possibility of any
material increase in the population,
and annexation would never involve at
any time the troublesome question of
Statehood. The Danish Islands could
easily be governed as a Territory, could
readily be defended from attack. occu-
Ply a commanding strategic position.
and are of incalculable value to the
United States, not only as part Of
the national defense, but a removing
by their possession a very probable
cause OF foreign complications"

The Danish West Indies will soon
pass into the possession Of the United
States. They would have been in our
possession in the early part of the year
but for the attempt of the Democratic
leader in the House of Representatives
to connect a scandal with the transfer.
An investigation, however, proved that
the alleged charges of bribery We're
baseless, and that all the statements
of Captain Christmas were false. The
charges, however, were made public at
the time the Danish parliament was in
session, and they resulted in delaying
the ratification by that body. The
present treaty was negotiated in Wash
ington January "A, 1902, and was rati-
fled by our Senate by a unanimous
vote, on February II, 1902. Mr.. Rich
ardson and Captain Christmas sprang

The United States attempted to pur-
chase these Islands in the time of Pres
ident Lincoln's administration. Secre-
tary Seward made a definite offer Of
S5,OOO,OOO for the Islands of st. Vincent,
St John and Santa Cruz In 1866. In
1867 Denmark declined to sell for So
900 600 but offered ST. Thomas and st.
John for 100000 600 or $15,OOOOOO for the
three. Mr.. Seward offered $7,5OOOOO for
the three, and Denmark wanted that
sum for the first two. Finally Mr..
Seward came to those terms but fur
Their complications arose and after
hanging up for two years the treaty
was adversely reported on and the
Senate refused to ratify.
Under the Harrison and Cleveland
administrations, Secretaries Foster and
Olney both had diplomatic correspon-
dence upon the purchase of the Islands.
In 1898 a hill was reported from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs author
izing the purchase, but was not acted
upon The present negotiations have
been already spoken of. The present
price is $5,0OO,00O, the original offer of
Secretary Seward thirty-six years ago.

leaders.
The eyes of the public have been up
on the brilliant work done by Prince
Kuhio, and his wonderful success has
been applauded most justly, but credit
must also be given to those patient and
quiet workers whose efforts will only be
seen as results at the polls. The oppo-
nents of Republicanism are beginning
to fear these men, and are attempting
theory is that government officials
should work for them, and the Home
Rulers and their Democratic tail feel
much depressed when the government
men work for their own party. The
Home Rulers preach dishonesty and
disloyalty to party, a doctrine which
reacts upon itself. The Republicans
advocate honesty and loyalty. But
the fact that the Home Rulers are
squealing and threatening shows how
weak they are.
The opinions of the working men are
of more value in the Stars eyes, than
the opinions of politicians. The work
ing men of the community believe in
Republicanism and they are most san
guine that the party will win out. The
principles of Republicanism are more
thoroughly understood now, than they
politically better educated and the ma
terial advantages of allying ourselves
with the majority party of the main
land are completely appreciated. Vic
tory is coming to the Republican BAN

make it as sweeping as possible.

ARMY TO BE REDuCED.

WASHINGTON, October 15.-Orders
will be issued by the War Department
tomorrow ordering that the regular
army be reduced to the minimum au-
thorized by law, $1,000 men. With the
practical cessation of outbreaks in the
Philippines, it is believed that this can
be done safely. The present size of the
army is about $1,000. The cavalry and
artillery regiments will be reduced to
the minimum basis except around Fort
Leavenworth, where the commands will
be kept to full size for educational rea-
sons.
