many the opportunity of lifetime to
see the City of Washington.

York, and, further, by providing for
excursions to Gettysburg, the Nir-

ISOLATION took a couple of hours of
time in which it denounced the Union
veterans and their offer of succor.
During the heat of the discussion
some "secesh" daughter introduced
the following resolution:
1--WE will never consent to accept
aid from Union veterans, either to
build a soldiers home or otherwise
assist the remnant of our Southern
heroes. We want no sympathy We
demand the respect which our truly
noble part in the civil war makes our
due.
The wording of the resolution
leaves no doubt in the minds of those
who read it regarding the real feel
ings of these ladies of the sunny
Sounth toward their brothers and sis.
tiers of the North.

add more non-union men to their
forces in the various collieries and
coal has already begun to move to-

THE NEW CABLE.

/. The sailing of the cable steamer,
Silverton, from London today for San
Francisco marks the beginning of
another era III the commercial and in
dustrial prosperity of Hawaii and the
world at large. Upon the arrival of
the Silverton at San Francisco the
laying of the first cable to Honolulu
will begin.
This cable will be the first link in
the system that is to give America
direct communication with her pos
sessions in the East. At present all
the business of state or commercial
affairs in the Philippines which neces-
states the use of the cable is obliged
to go via Hong Kong. This method is
not only inconvenient but costly and
extremely annoying at times, as the
cable company operating this line re-
serves the right to delay messages
in transmission a certain number of
hours. if the company wishes.
All this will be changed. There is
to be direct cable from San Fran
sisco to Honolulu, owned by Ameri-
cans and operated by Americans. The
first link of the cable will be lab
miles in length, and will be complet-
ed sometime during the coming win
ter. The United States will be able
to communicate with its outlying pos
sessions in few hours, instead of
weeks as now.

Those days that came and went so quickly,

And how their withered leaves so thickly
Strewed the earth,

How sunsets gorgeous colors blending

Through the haze
