HONOLULU. T. H., June u, 1902
Governor Dole has just made an order of
the broadcast possible scope. requiring gov
ernment employees to abstain from political
activity in the coming campaign. The or

of the politicians and has served to reveal
how general was the political activity of Of

campaign committees and official positions
in political clubs, that a reorganization of
the party will result.
The idea of requiring all his official fam
lily and their subordinates to keep out of
politics is not a new one with Governor
Dole, who himself appears to pay no more
attention to what is going on in a political
way than II such dongs were the concern
of some other race. Several months ago,
before his trip to Washington, the governor
suggested in executive council meeting
that there was too much political activity
among officials, and that it would be good
idea to issue an order putting an end to it.

Application of Civil Service Rules.

The new policy is based on that of the
administration at Washington. II means a
more complete application of civil service
rules in the territory of Hawaii than the
average mainland state or territory has. The
federal circulars on the subject deal only
with civil service" men. and, therefore
only inhibit those who hold their positions
under civil service rules. from taking an
active part in politics. Governor Dole pro-
poses to extend the rule to all government
employees. He does not object to mere men,
bership in clubs, or even to political speech
es at times, but there is to be no practical
campaigning by committee work. organic
ing clubs, etc, on the part of men who
hold their positions through his appoint
mentS.
Up to the time when Governor Dole
gave out his views, the republican COM
mittees were full of government employees.
Some of them were very deep in a number
of political schemes of various sorts and
one head of a department was credited
with being a good deal of a boss in the
two districts of the Island of Oahu.

Delegate Wilcox's Return.

News has been received here that Dele
gate to Congress Wilcox will be back In
about week. The home rulers are await
ing his presence before organizing for the
campaign. 1t is generally expected that
he will be nominated again, and republic
cans admit that he is quite likely to be
elected. tour of the islands is contem-
plated by home rulers, in which Wilcox
shall address the natives In all the dis
tricts, telling them Of his work in the ma
tional capital Though he has failed to &C
complish anything, and Honolulu business
men have had to send special representa-
tives to Washington when they wanted any
work done, Wilcox will probably convince
a large following that he has been a great
success at Washington.
The report that Richard W. G. yelling is
coming here as sort of special commits
sioner of the President to study the situa-
ton in Hawaii with particular reference
to the fitness of the natives for self-gov
eminent, is received in Hawaii with great
interest 1t is the opinion Of a large ele-
ment among the whites that the suffrage
should have been more restricted In Hawaii.
This was the recommendation of President
Dole at the time when the various pro-
visions of the organic act were being dis
cussed by Congress. The advice was ig-
nored, however.
The Native Vote.
The unfortunate results of the last cleo
ton in the choice Of a legislature utterly
incompetent was due to the votes of a
large class of natives that do not under
esand English and have no knowledge of
public affairs. 1t was this Hawaiian vote
that sent Wilcox to Congress, and is likely
to do 1t again. An educational qualification
for the ballot would prevent such results
and make political campaigns intelligent.
Now they are often ridiculous in many re-
spects, except for the seriousness of re-
suits. 1t is thought that the Investigations
of the commissioner of the President may
result in a recommendation for some edu-
cational restrictions on the right of suf-
frage, which will lift the intelligent voters
incompetents.

not contemplate entering the ministry
until much later. He was the young

in his youth his chances for acquiring
an education were meager. He at

to lift the debt was raised soon after
and in October, 1873, DR.. Talmage's
salary was raised to $4,000 a year In,
October, 1889, the second tabernacle
was burned. DR.. Talmage was then
preparing to go to Palestine, but he
offered to postpone his trip and give
part of his salary toward rebuilding.
The trustees told him to go abroad
and he went, travelling through the,
Holy Land, Greece and Europe. He
returned in 1890. The tabernacle was
rebuilt and ready for occupancy in
1891 and the first services were held
Easter Sunday.
DR.. Talmages fame continued to
spread and the great, new tabernacle
could scarcely hold the crowds that
went to hear him. In 1894, however
he saw a larger field for his endeavors

Special Letter.)

Nv rngton is set in a frame of
" factory chimneys. In what
ever direction one looks
~ these tall brick stacks pierce
the sky and with their
smoke throw a cloud over the hills
which form a sort of outer frame for
the busy picture. This smoke means
that the factories are busy at their
score of varied tasks, and busy fac
tories spell prosperity for any town
that has them.
Although Torrington has been
town under various names since 1874,
there is little OF interest in the early
history and few relics of colonial days
remain. Its one claim for historic
fame lies in the fact that John Brown,
who was so prominent in the early
days of the anti-slavery movement,
which resulted in the civil war, was
born in a quaint old farmhouse
short distance from Torrington. The
house is now one hundred and twelve
years old and is remarkably well pre-
served. in spite of the fact that few
alterations have been made. II is WIS.,
tied by all who go to the town. and
of it the people are most proud.
John Brown lived in the old house
until he was five years old. Then
his father moved to Kansas with his
family. The friend of the black man
made several visits to his birthplace
and was pleased to find a growing
anti-slavery movement In 1897 the
lines between the opposing parties
were closely drawn, and several fights
occurred at Wolcot-ville when the
anti-slavery adherents tried to hold
meetings there. Brown paid Torring
ton an extended visit about this time
and was most outspoken against slav-
cry An old friend of the family felt
called upon to warn him, according
10 one of the local traditions.
John Brown, you want to be care
full" he said. IF you keep up this
fight against slavery, you'll be hanged
some day
Brown is said to have replied that
he did not fear anything of that sort,
and went on fighting slavery until he
was hanged in Charlestown, Va, in SO.
To-day Torrington considers him the
greatest martyr in the list of those
who have given their lives for their
opinions, the greatest because he is
their particular martyr.
Having been a town of industry
from the start, it is not strange that
manufacturing is still the predomi-
nant, all-important feature of Torring
ton. The several streams which swell
the Naugatuck near the point attract
ed the manufacturers early in the
last century. They wanted waterpow-
er and their small mills were built in
the hollows close to the streams. In
1912 a man from Rhode Island began
to make cotton cloth and it was not
long until woollen mill was estab
lished. In 1916 the brass industry,
which to-day is the most important of
Torrington's long list of industries,
mad its beginning in the erection OF a
kettle shop.
Torrington will have as fine a public
library as any town of its size in
