SANTA CLAUS
IN SIERRA

Santa Claus will probably make his
visit to Hawaii. or at least to Homo
lulu, in the Oceanic steamship Sierra.
This vessel is scheduled to arrive here
on December "a, Christmas eve. The
probabilities are that most of the
Christmas gifts intended for Honolu-
lans will arrive on the Sierra as the
Doric reaches here from San Francisco
Just week earlier. The arrival of the
Sierra on Christmas eve or Christmas
day will give Hawaii's mainland
friends plenty of time to get their
Christmas gifts started for San Fran
cisco to take this vessel
Honolulans, on the other hand, will
have three late boats on which to send
their gifts to the mainland, depending
on the distance which they will have
to travel. For instance, the Nippon
Maru leaves here on December 5. Civ
ing her full seven days in which 60
reach San Francisco, the mails should
arrive there on December II. Making
allowance for delays cause by snow
storms and hlockades- on the railroads,
York and Boston not later than De-
cember IL or Is.
The steamship Peru is scheduled to
leave on December IS. The Peru will
take seven days to make the passage,
arriving at San Francisco about De-
cember 20, or, the 21st at the latest
Mail from this vessel would just about
reach the Atlantic Coast in time for
Christmas, allowing for the usual win
ter delays on the railways
The Alameda is the very latest YES
sci on which Christmas gifts can be
sent to the Coast to reach addresses in
California, on Christmas day. She
sails from Honolulu ON December II
The Coptic sails on December 10 fol
San Francisco. If here on time she
| would at least get mails to San Fran
cisco on December &c.
| The Moana leaves Honolulu for Vic
toria on December II, giving just about
margin enough to land the mails IL

BirmInqham's Future.

The Rev. DR.. Hiram w. Thomas Of
Chicago who has been spending a few
days in Birmingham. was much interested
in the city from an industrial point of
view, and delighted with the beauty of
the residence sections. Few cities, he
said, have such attractive looking homes
as he saw on the South Highlands.
DR.. Thomas has made a special study
of the making Of great cities and that
being 80 his predictions about Birming-
ham will be read with more than ordi-
nary interest. This city, he said, will
soon be about the largest south of the
Ohio river. 1t will probably have a pop
ulation 200. 600 inside OF tho next ten
years. 1t will keep on growing until 1t
becomes one Of the greatest cities Of the
Unit ed States
mobile has bright future, too. 1t will
grow in population and advance In COM
mercial Importance. 1t will be strong
competitor of New Orleans for the
ocean trade. But no city in this part of
the country will begin to come up to
Birmingham In size and wealth."

AFLATERTED SENATOR.
the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The most fattered man in public life
next to the President of the United
States Is John C. Spooner, United States
Senator from Wisconsin. If Mr.. Spooner's
head is not turned by the praise he re-
ceives from his associates In the Senate,
he will afford another proof of his dis
tinction as a public man. Those who
read the Congressional Record will have
observed that hardly day passes when
the Democrats do not contribute to the
praise of his ability, and his Republic
can associates defer to him constantly
by giving him the most important post
ton in their debates that take a party
turn. The latest instance of this is Mr..
Spooner's selection to close the Philip
pine debate. though this is out of the
ordinary method of the Senate, which
is to give that place to the committee
reporting the bill under discussion OF
which the Wisconsin senator is not a
member. We doubt II Webster or Clay or
Seward or Summer ever had so much
praise to their face in the Senate as Mr.
Spooner has received: but perhaps in the
instance of the former two 1t was rea-
soned that they did not need 1t. 1t said
itself as Ii were

The three cities receive all but about
FIVE per cent of the total, but the
three act In this respect as distribut-
ing points. each immigrant having as
rule some friend he Is seeking
some friend who had preceded him
as an immigrant.
This expectation on the part of a
half million people is one of the won
ders of the age. The surplus numbers
of many lands seek the great republic,
to lose their language and customs
to be swallowed at 1t were, and as
simulated, benevolently or otherwise.
The Kaiser does not like the process,
but he cannot prevent it. His coun-
try has no colonies that his country
men will accept as new homes, and
so it is in other European countries,
England alone excepted. Englishmen
have a wide choice, some, however,
coming here.
In the nine months of the fiscal
year Austria-Hungary sent us the most
immigrants, los, 1854; Italy sent 1926
and Russia 63,282. These three coun-
tries sent three-quarters of the entire
number, and none of them send very
desirable immigrants. From the Uni
ted Kingdom came but 25,440, mostly
Irishmen, while Germany sent out 49,
642, and Sweden 1861. From far
away Japan came 8197, while only
1917 came from China. Turkey in
Asia is beginning to send us many
people. But the largest gain in the
nine months came from Austria-Hun-
gary, country that will lose to us
fully 10000 people by July l. Such a
loss must be felt in that country, and
Trieste, its only port, must wonder
what 1t means and what the effects
of It will be. America is in fact
steadily Anglicizing and Americaniz-
ing the world 1t is assimilating the
surplus people Of other lands to such
an extent that another century will
show surprising totals.

Taxing the Rand Mines,

At the annual meeting of the Trans
vaal Chamber of Mines Mr.. Rouliot,
the president, explained the two at
tempts to blow up the mines of the
Rand. The first occurred in March,
1900, when forty holes were drilled
in twenty-five mines for the purpose
OF wrecking them. This was attrib.
uted to mining inspector, and finally
to the acting state engineer. The pro-
tests of the foreign consuls saved
the mines that time. The other cri
sis came when Gen. Roberts was
about to occupy Johannesburg, and or
this occasion Louis Botha saved the
property from destruction. He tolc
the local commandant he would hol,
him personally responsible for an,
damage done to the mines.
Mr.. Rouliot further shows that tn
Beers took from the mines, all told
O4L, 164 ounces, worth in round figure
$13,485,865. Mr.. Rouliot places tn,
direct loss of the mines on accoun
of the war at SIT 100000, in addition
to the gold commandeered by tn,
Beers. thus bringing the total loss VI
to about s3O,O00,OOO.
This is not all by any means, fo
a share at least of the war debt will
be levied on the mines. But they car
stand 1t. Their output will soon b,
s10o,OOO.OO0 year, and even a great
er output is possible, and levy o
five per cent on the product woul'
go far towards carrying the debt con
tracted on account of the war. TIL
Beers did in fact. in one way or an
other levy a tax of about that exten
upon the mines, their monopoly Of ex
plosives being perhaps the worst fea
ture of their system of taxation.

THE TRUTH OF 1T.

From the Abbeville Times.
The people OF this county and OF the
whole state are tired of the disgraceful
election methods that have been prac-
ticed here for the past ten years and
they are going to put stop to 1t. We
are all white men with equal rights and
will not tolerate any longer any scheme
or method In elections that will permit
a few sharpsters (thieveD to dominate
and control the politics of the country
over the will OF the people. The editor
of this paper has as clean Democratic
record as any man-and proposes to sus-
tain it-but whenever the road that
leads to fair and honest elections Is
pointed out to US we are going to get
In It and every honest white man will
do the same thing. Ballot box thievery has
done more to corrupt the politics OF this
state than the "purchasable negro vote"
so much complained of and now that

THE ONLY HONEST METHOD.

From the Mobile Item.
While the great majority of the news
papers In the state are unqualifledly In
favor of the primary system as the only
honest method, and are condenning the
old corrupt system of conventions as
means for perpetuating fraud and party
discord, the primary opponents have not
been able to advance one serious objec-
ton to the primaries-none OF them will
attempt to say that the primary method
is not a direct return to a governm ent
by the people; but that the principle Is
entirely and absolutely Democratic and
its tendencies are towards honesty In pol
tiles and unity in the party. Each
day adds to the ranks of the primary
supporters among the people. and the
newspapers that have been undecided
are coming out in favor of primaries.
There are few. however, that are held
by strings they dare not break, which
will continue to yelp at the heels of the
political gang.

FRANCHISE APPROVED.
Dallas Council Amends to include Sew
eral Suburban Lines.

Dallas. Tex. May 25.-The Mayor
and commissioners of Dallas have ap-
proved the franchise granted by the
City Council several weeks ago for a
new street railway system here, but
amended 1t to include several sub
urban and downtown lines that have
since been under consideration. The
City Council is expected to approve
the amendments promptly, and the
new company, If the desired sanction
is received, will place 500 men on the
work of construction within two
weeks. The new franchise was ap-
piled for by A. X. Bonita and asso-
ciates. The object of the company is
to establish some forty-five miles Of
electric railroads through the streets
of Dallas and suburbs, equipped with
the most modern improvements and
equal to any system In the United
States.
1t Is said approximately $4,000 will
be spent in paving the streets by the
company.

Greater London contains nearly
100000 people, while Greater New

Will these three towns be the big
three of the world a hundred years

New Yorks position as the second

busiest and most prosperous country
In the world behind 1t. Failure on
its part to stay in the first division"
is incredible, well nigh impossible. 1t
w assuredly be a good second a
hunderd years hence.
Will Paris hold third place? This
seems more doubtful, and yet Berlin
or some of the fabulous and uncount-
ed Chinese cities or Chicago and its
hogs may crowd 1t uncomfortably
close. But while they are growing
Paris will also grow. 1t Is the capital
of the Latin world, and Latinism will

commanding no sea-going commerce,
possessing no supply of cheap fuel,
almost innocent of factory chimneys,
It's only manufactured products being

one stands on an elevation overlook

chimneys as single square in Glas-
gov would display. The population of
Paris under such circumstances is
wonderful.

Seventeen-Year Locusts.

The shrill cicadas are descending

when Washington finds a greater af

may be sure something dreadful is

This vast insect army comes out of

a single hour there appears the beau

vegetation Is as strong as its entire
appearance is attractive. 1t comes to

upon all accessible vegetation it is en-

ALMOST A DEMAND.

From the Carrollton West Albanian.
Fair representation In conventions or a
state primary Is the question of the day
throughout Alabama The sentiment has
grown 80 universal that 1t has become all
most a demand. For the present the de-
mand no doubt will be ignored but 1t will
mean defeat to the men who take occa-
sion to thrust political surfdom on the
freeborn white men OF the state. 1t Is
the politicians in the Black Belt who de-
mand conventions. The people there OPP
pose It and are ready to put 1t down.
Hereafter the man who does not favor a
fair primary will find 1t very hard in Sc
curing any nomination.
