AoCEPHs NOM N ALTON.

Prince David, upon being approach
ed by and on behalf of The Independ'
ent this morning, stated emphatlcaily
that he accepted the nomination as
Senatorial candidate recently made by
the Democratic party, and that gladly
and willingly. He further reiterated
a statement recently made by him be-
fore the Democratic Club and has au-
thorized us to say that he, being
strict party man, would stay by his
party. no matter what comes, and
would do whatever his party wanted
and instructed him to do, even IL he
had to go down TO defeat again with
it. as he has been there before. What
ever his party thinAs it is best that
he should undertake TO do, he would
do it only too willingly for the best in
terests of his country and people, and
as well for the good of the party and of
it's cause.

Testa. We perfectly agree with this
white man that if the Democratic par
ty had the Home Rule party's power
in the control of votes, it would have
been more assertive, arrogant, auto
cratic and dictatorial, and would not
have given any Home Ruler much of
a show. Let white man or perfect
organized body of white men have the
power, and knowing 1t well too, 1T
would be a mighty cold day for Ha-
waiians to receive any show or recog-
milton whatever. White men would
hog it ALL to be sure. This allusion
and reference applies to other politi-
cal parties as we'll where white men
are predominant and in control.

The Hawaiian party, knowing it's
own strength and power mas perfect
right to be assertive and dictatorial,
but portion of it saw fit to give way
a little to those they know to be friend
ly to them and to their cause. We will
here assert that Hawaiians showed
magnanimous spirit, although not alto
gether conciltatory, by conceding a
certain proportion to their political
friends.

Delegate Wilcox stated this fore.

And further, he is most unpopular

of that will help your party out.

The Republican hat is being held be-
fore the agents and managers of sugar

the Democrats and Home Rulers do
the same trick and note the squirming

AN APT ALLU ION.

At the Democratic nominating mass
convention OF last Monday night, Mr..
Eugene e. Lee made an apt allusion
and Illustration that If the Democratic
party was to put itself in the place of
the Home Rule party, would Demo
Gratis have done as much for the
Home Rulers by placing their men on
the Democratic ticket. This remark
was brought out through the insinua-
tions made in regard to the nomina-
tions being by Home Rulers and was
that OF the entire Home Rule ticket,
which was deemed to be like going
over bodily to the Home Rule party
after being thrown down on the fusion
proposition. When these asserters
were asked by Mr.. Testa who they
meant by Home Rulers, for he was the
nominator of the entire Home Rule
ticket. they crawfished out of it by
throwing it upon others and not upon
Mr.. Testa, they to certain extent ex-
onerating him from all blame, allu-
sions and innuendoes.

1t must be stated that after the read
ing of the above report, duly signed by
a majority of the committee, the chair

him that they were in favor of it. The
other two members of the committee
were c. l.. Rhodes and Gardner K. Will

Chairman Mccarthy then stated that

they thanked him, on behalf of the
Democratic party, for their nomination..
He further said that he had shown

and patriotic action of the same in en-
dorsing myself as well as also in TAX

The Republican contingent in the
Democratic mass convention fell short
of its purpose-hence the anger of the
Advertiser.

1t is a pity, though, and we grieve
it mostly that fusion failed. But had
it gone through without any hitch
whatsoever, both parties would then
have, by all means. been materially
strengthened by narrowing" the fight
down to only between two instead of
three, as it was the case at the former
general election. And it was with that
idea in view that the straight Home
Rule ticket was put forward by nomi
nation. But that has now gone by and
is past redemption and reclamation.

got from the Home Rulers of the
Fourth District and we again reiterate
that they should have left we'll enough
alone. 1t is not for the present that
they must look out for, but rather they
ought to see to the future. The sue

in the future that they should look for

DGmoCracy'S Platform.
The Draft Finally Adopt d viii
0nt New Plank Added.

The Democratic Club held its ad-
journed and stated meeting last even
ing to hear the report of the committee
on platform. Chairman Mccarthy call
ed the meeting to order shortly after
8 O'Clock and ordered the reading of
the platform report, which was prac-
tically the same as published exclusive
ly by The Independent yesterday.
After Secretary Hart had read the re-
port, Mr.. Testa moved to add new
plank in the platform, by inserting in
after the fourth paragraph. This addi-
tion was in reference to favoring an
appropriation by the United States
Congress to compensate Queen Liliuo-
kalani for the Crown Lands. The mo-
ton being seconded, and there being
nothing said, it was pu: and passed
unanimously.
Moved by Mr.. Creighton, duly sec
onded, the report of the committee on
platform with the addition made there
to was adopted. Following is the full
report adopted as added:
TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF
THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII.
Your Committee on Platform ap-
pointed September 20, A. d. 1902, beg
leave to submit the following as the
platform of the Democratic party:
PLATFORM.
The Democratic party of the Terri
tory of Hawaii re-affirms the princi-
ples of the platform of the party adopt
ed in convention in Honolulu, H. T.,
October 8, A. d. 1900:
And because the political history of
his Territory since that time has
shown the peculiar aptness and the
wisdom of the position taken by the
Democratic party on the issues local
10 this Territory, we repeat the fol-
lowing:
The Democratic party, as the pro-
nounced and trusted friend of the la
boring classes, declares itself to be in
favor of an eight-hour labor law and
the giving of all Government work to
citizens Of the Territory of Hawaii,
not, however, to the exclusion of male
Hawaiian residents of European ma
ity to speak, read and write the Eng
lish or Hawaiian languages, are denied
American citizenship.
We favor the appropriation, by the
aeXt Legislature of the Territory OF
Hawaii, OF liberal pension to the ex-
Queen ofsHawaii, as just acknowl-
edgment due her for her great loss. /.
We favor an appropriation by the
Congress of the United States to COM
pensate the eX-Queen in an equitable
sum for the deprivation suffered by her
of the Crown Lands.
We favor the payment of all proven
and just claims resulting from loss by
fire Incurred through the suppression
of the recent epidemic of bubonic
plague.
We favor revision and modifica.
ton of all existing license laws.
We favor the enlargement and com.
prehensiye development of all the har.

jumped to his feet.
The morning light was flooding ev-
erything, and it fell upon the two men,
as they looked into each others eyes.
Langfieid drew in his breath with sud
den sharpness. The other muttered
an oath and leaned weakly back to-
ward him. "You!
The man nodded.
The lines on Langfield's face We're

There were few drops left in his
canteen. He offered them to his COM
panion. converted himself into prop
for the wounded side, and the slow,
painful journey down the trail began.
Neither of them talked much. The
mist hung midway on the mountain,
and when they emerged from it the
companys quarters lay on the ledge be-
low. Already the camp was astir.
The two men upon the path paused,
exhausted. Langtield eased the sick
man down and threw himself beside
him. He had not eaten since the day
before, and was weak and giddy. For
the first time Perry's helplessness
tempted him. Why should this man
have everything which he had been de-
MED?
Langtield mechanically slipped his
hand to the sheath in his belt, stole u
glance at his companion, and saw that
his eyes were closed. He drew out the
knife and held it behind him.
Just then Perry gave stified moan.
The sound brought Langfield to his
senses. What was this he had intend
ed to do? A fit of trembling seized
him. He rose to his feet, though he
reeled as he did so. There was a swift
movement of his right arm, and some
thing glanced in the light and fell far
below them in the brush.

POSTAL CLERKS UNDER EXAMINATION OF SCHEMES,

/ fersons, and so on. In some instances
there is postoffice of the same name
in each of the seven States. AS one may
| imagine, this only tends to confuse the
average mind.
Periodically the clerks are examined
at railway mail headquarters. Packs Of
cards. each card bearing the name of
n postoffice, are furnished a candidate
for examination. He takes a position
in front of a case of pigeon holes label
ed with the names of different railway
postoffices throughout the country. He
throws" the cards, distributing them
, to proper routes, just as he would pack
ages in postal car. After he finishes
the examiner goes over the cards and
charges up the errors the clerk has
made and gives him his percentage of
correct distribution. The clerk also is
examined on general and standpoint"
or station schemes at different times.
There are some features about the
work that one would think would rem
der it impossible for a clerk to main
tain his 'lay" of the States, which he
is expected to work. He may have a
run which lands him in Chicago to con-
meet three leading railway postoffices
running between Chicago and New
York. With but little notice he may be
taken off the run and be brought to
Chicago in the afternoon instead of
2:20 a. m. Notwithstanding this inter
ruptiOn, he goes ON with his work with
! but few errors.
| 1t is asserted ut railway mail service
| headquarters that there are clerks who
have reached the capacity of their
minds in the matter of remembering
names. They now remember so many
that it would be absolutely impossible
to learn another State or part of a
State. 1t would seem that of the mill
ions of cells in their brain machinery
none are left to fill all having been
taken up in the prosecution of the ex-
acting duties imposed by their occupa-
ton.
Another queer phase of the work is
that not always do the clerks who
stand the best examinations and make
the best averages show the best rec
ords in the car. A man may have a
State in the most exact manner, but
lack ability in remembering railway
connections or something else which he
is required to remember.
The evidence of wonderfully reten-
tive memories is found in the general
run Of examinations made at headquar-
ters. In one year at the offices of the
sixth division of the railway mail ser
vice in Chicago 2,427 examinations
were made. Cards to the number of
nearly 100000 We're thrown" and the
