that the political controversy between +.
A. Heinze and Senator Clark and the
democratic party is becoming as bitter
and personal as the old fights between
Clark and Marcus DAILY years ago. The
climax OF the sensational charges seems
to have been reached yesterday when

charging II. A. Heinze with making to
him proposition to betray his father in
the interest of Heinze' mining litigation
against the Amalgamated Copper Com

June and told him that it was absolute
! " necessary that he should win the elec-
ton and he wanted young Clark's as

Young man induce his father to take no
part in the campaign but leave the State

Silver Bow county, and the legislature, .
Heinze is quoted as saying With con-

litigation would be easy. He desired to
control the legislature, young Clark as

creasing the number of supreme coar
Judges to five, and knowing that Gov
Toole would appoint judges favorable t
his mining interests. He offered young
Clark, so the latter says, $4,000, 00O,

SAD CONDITION IN HAWAII.

The Mohonk Indian conference open
ed its session at Mohonk Lake, n. Y,
Yesterday. Rev. ID. Alexander Twom-
bly,, who has been resident of Hawaii
for some time, was among the speakers.
He addressed the conference on the
present situation in those islands. He
said that conditions there were dark and
depressing. The times are hard owing
TO unwise and demagogic action Of the
local legislature, dominated by the home
rule party. Crime, drunkenness, idle
ness, and other vices were on the in
crease He attributed most Of the evils
existing to the practically unlimited
suffrage conferred dupon the people, which
had thrown political power so largely in
the hands of the ignorant, incapable,
and unreliable elements ofthepopulati0n,
thus rendering the way easy for the
greedy, selfish, and corrupt politicians
and self-seekers to further their own
schemes. The worst elements i'll Hawaii
he declared, were the iow-down Ameri-
cans, carpet-baggers, adventures, and
other scum from the States who haf
drifted there in recent years. Some OF
these men had obtained Federal appoint
ments in the judiciary and other offices
and had brought shame and scandal
upon the administration of law and
Justice. Added to this element were
the deserters from ships, professional
criminals, and many "ne' 'er-do-wells"
from the States who had come there
since annexation, but who were now
voters. The dominance of elements like
these in the politics and legislation OF
the islands constituted one Ofthe g vest
perils of the situation, said Mr.. Twombiy.
A limitation upon the franchise seemed
to be absolutely imperative if the local
government was ever to be administered
on wise, honest, and economical
basis. Another danger was that the
interests of Hawa; would be put more
aud more in the background in The
future colonial policy of the United
States or subordins e to other interests
which were antagonistic.
An address by the Rev. Douglass
Birnie, who has been pastor in Homo
lulu for several years, followed. lie
confirmed what DR.. Twombly had said
in regard to the evils arising from an
| ignorant, corruptible, and irresponsible
| vote which had given an opportunity to
unscrupulous politicians and schemers.
He drew dark picture of existing condi'
lions in the islands and said that the
only hope for the future lay in wise
restriction of the suffrage, the introduc
ton of Chinese labor upon the sugar
plantations, and reform of the Judiciary
! He said that the native population haC
been reduced to about 80, 600, was rapid
ly dying, and would soon disappear en-
tirely. The speaker thought that if the
| law could be so modified as to admit
| Chinese labor for the exclusive purpose
| of working the sugar-cane plantations
\ the situation would be greatly relieved
and prosperity for all classes would fol
| low. The importation Of Porto Rican'
for this work had been an absolute fail
ure. and the introduction of negroes from
the States had been followed with nj
better results.

The emperor scarcely ever stirs out OF

royal progress through Seoul once each
year. but does not always do 50. This
progress is gorgeous. with all the taWdry
display of OrientaHsm tinged with Occl-
dental ideas wrongly understood. Ihe
most magnificent thing about tins display
is the bill which is presented to the

a Notable Poem,

The beautiful poem of William T.
Dumas. "Jrnder the Mulberry Trees" is
going the rounds again. Mr.. Dumas is
remembered as the author of THE Din
ner Horn" which was contributed to The
Constitution. Following is an extract
from the poem referred to above:
20 trees, ye stand here as of old. I'M
mobile but since then
We've wandered up and down the world
and seen the ways Of men;
We've learned to smile when we would
frown. assent when we'd refuse;
Subject our wills await our time, the
harder part To choose.
TO practice policy and tact those fine
artistic shades
Found in the moral ,ectrum where
truth into falschoo fades;
We've boasted of our freedom. yet we
know we dare not pass
one step beyond the limits marked by
customs wall Of brass.
oh. for the freedom that Of old we
found beneath your shade,
Mulberries dear. when there we fought
and there our treaties made!

IL would have been a plkn case of ap-

statement reminds one how far behind

Junior: As Miss Howse took for her sub

Word To think before you speak is so
wise an axiom that one would hardly
think it needful to emphasize 1t by repe-
tition. And yet in how many cases the
hasty temper flashes out in the nasty
word. and the latter does its work with
the precision and the pain of the swift
stiletto. Singularly enough. the nasty
word often wounds those who love one
another dearly, and the very closeness
of their Intimacy affords them opportu-
nifty for the sudden thrust. We know the
