William III. Jackson was re-
nominated for Congressman by
the Republicans at the Ocean
City Convention Thursday.
1t was a very large and enthusi-
astic convention, made so by
the leaders i'm the various coun-
ties, who were instructed that
it would be necessary to make
big showing at Ocean City to
impress the people of the First
Congressional District of the
popularity of their candidate.
Jackson was able to pay the
freight and hundreds of dele
gates were named and given an
an opportunity to let some one
man do the voting for them.
The colored delegate was very
much in evidence, as he always
lis.
Everything that could be
thought of to inspire confidence
i'm the candidacy of the Hon.
Billy was done, as the leaders
of the Republican party of
Maryland do not feel like los
ing an opportunity to pull his
Leg" They know it will be
the last chance, as he will retire
from politics this fall, when a
Democrat will succeed him.

A PREDICTION.

Russell Sage, for more than
65 years one of the closest OBJ
servers of finance and the tenn
per of the American people.
does not agree with j. Pierpont
Morgan regarding the CONSOLE
dation of all the great indus
tries.
Mr.. Sage bellows that the
combination of all great in
dustries will inevitably resultin
one of the greatest financial
crashes ever seen in the United
States and that, too, at no very
distant period.
Mr.. Morgan returned from
Europe with his mind fixed. it
is said, on but one thing-the
combination of all industries i'm
he same manner as he has Nor
4anized the shipping, steel,
railway and coalinterests. He
frankly admits the era of gil
.antic trusts has only begun,
nd that in the near future even
lore gigantic corporations than
osae Billion Dollar Steel Corpor-
alton will most certainly result.
Mr.. Sage basis his BELIEF that
combinations and trusts of the
Kind described by Mr.. Morgan
vill not be tolerated on his oh
yations and knowledge of
character of the American
iple.
Combinations of all great
tstries are a menace to the

GET A HAVANA
FOR FIVE CENTS
What May Happen in the Cisa'
Trade in a Short
Time.

A representative of a wholesale cigar
house in this city predicts that in the
near future the cigar business will un-
dergo a great change. He thinks that
straight Havana filled cigars Will be
placed on the market by wholesale houses
generally at a price enabling the retail
cigar dealer to sell them at five cents.
by jingo! If this does happen / don't
know what will become of Honolulu.
The place is at present a hot bed of
smokers. Nearly everyone smokes here
now and when Havanas get down to q
nickel ships approaching the Island of
Oahu will see such cloud of smoke
above Honolulu city that they will think
the extinct volcano on Punehbowl has
been tunnelled into and opened up by en-
terprising tourist getters.'' went on the
wholesale man.
why do 1 think the price is going to
| drop? Well, it's as easy thinking that out
as to add two and two together. You see
there has been great influx of Ameri-
cans into Cuba since the war and this
has resulted in greatly increased to-
bacco acreage. The crop this year is ex-
pected to be a large one and is bound to
| sell at a considerably cheaper price than
formerly It's only question Of time
until Bavana tobacco becomes but little
| If any more expensive than domestic to-
bacco. Everyone knows that Cuban soil
! is the ideal tobacco raising Soil Of the
world. II never needs fertiiizing and goes
on raising crop after crop of the weed
without ever showing signs of ex-
haustion.''
About the only bar to turning out five
| cert Havanas at the present time is a
clause il the rate scale for piece work in
effect with the Cigarmakers Union. This
scale provides one price for making cigars
from domestic and one for imported to-
bacco, under which clause the Havana
tobacco comes. This scale is so made be-
cause of greater care exercised in hand
ling the leaf and because of the present
higher selling price. 1t is probable that
some compromise will be made between
the manufacturers and unions to enable
American smoker of moderate means-Sa
clear Havana for nickel"
Just at present" continued the whole
sale weed man. there is big cigar war
on In Honolulu. Many firms are pushing
special brands and their prices to the
retailer are rapidly going down. The war
has been such during the past few months
that several formerly well known brands
will shortly disappear altogether from the
more profitable, more advertised, and in
many cases, better brands Of cigars"
Sc HOnoIuians are great smokers2
You bet your Hilo hat they are! Why,
American tobacco and cigar manufactures
consider that more smoking is done In
Honolulu than in any city of its size in
the United States"
