Briefly, the scheme is this: to force
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination by the
arts of the Matchmaking Mugwump
and the Money of the Syndicate; and,
having him nominated. to buy New
York, New Jersey. and Connecticut,
and the one additional vote necessary
to elect, relying upon the Solid South,
reduced to choice between Cleveland
and Roosevelt, to take Cleveland.
That Is all. And it is great because
it Is so simple. IT it works. so much
gain. If it appears faulty, as the
final trial approaches, Mr.. Cleveland
has only to draw out, as he did from
the Gold Bug Indianapolis Convention,
declaring that no one was authorized
to put MIN in nomination. But, In
the meantime. though Mr.. Bryan spec
ulate ana Mr.. Villas deny, Mr.. Cleve-
land cannot be induced to utter the
decisive word which would at once
stop the chatter. - Courier Journal.

BOWLING IN
HONOLULU ALLEYS

The interest in bowling is increasing
to fever heat as the weather gets
cooler. French Five is the favorite
game at present and has many COM
petitors for the championship, which
is held by E. A. r. Ross, with the
handsome score of 222 pins.
French Five was introduced at the
Honolulu Bowling Parlors several
months ago by onesof our local bowlers,
and took we'll from the start. Among
the ex-champions are: ]. Jones, 1873; A.
G. NJ Robertson, 1876; Dan Logan, 1856:
w. Beakbane, 203; DR.. High, 221.
The last score was beaten after a
hard fight by E. A. r. Ross by one pin.
Mr.. Ross offers a handsome prize of
appropriate design, to anyone beating
his score.
The high scores from the several al
leys in San Francisco, as we'll as the

The Labor Unions Again.

The worst upholders of class dis
tinction are the labor union men, who
are seeking to make themselves a
privileged class by denying inherent
and inalenable rights to non-unionists.
The action of President Roosevelt in
not 1inching and in hitting the centre
hard in the situation in the govern
commended outside of the union
ranks An assistant foreman found that
the printers who were in the govern
ment office were not doing a fair days
work They were simply grafters on
the government. He tried to bring
them up to the standard. They eX.
PEELED him from the union and then
secured his discharge on the ground
that he was not member Of the
union.
The case was brought to the atten-
ton of President Roosevelt, who or
dered the foreman reinstated and
made a forceful statement to the bel
ligerents in the printing Office by call
ing their attention to the judgment of
the coal strike commission in which
it is stated that no person should be
Disseminated against on account of
membership or non-membership in any
labor organization; that he was heart
lily in accord with this judgment and
that there was no objection to the en-
ployes of the government printing Of
fee constituting themselves into
union if they so desire, but that no
rules or resolutions of that union
would be permitted to override the
laws of the United States which it was
the sworn duty of the President to en-
force.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune says the rules
of the union 20 so far as to make it
obligatory for members to obey the
secret laws of the labor union even to
the extent of disobeying the public
laws of the federal union.
One of the recent scandals in New
York city comes in the revelation that
contractors are held up by the labor
union leaders who demand a large
graft--thousands of dollars-under
threat that they will stop work which
is under a time limit contract. Per-
haps the most despicable of the many
intolerable actions attempted by labor
unions recently is seen in the attempt
to keep members out of the national
guard. and to boycott the volunteer
soldier who has simply performed his
sworn duty.

Child Beater Held for Grand Jury.

Complaint was made July 2S to Mrs.
Jennie T. Powers that on the 25th of
that month Mrs. Andrew Carpenter. liv-
ing in Chesterfield about a mile from
the Centre. had cruelty beaten her
daughter Flora. u. Mrs. Powers went
to the Carpenter home last Friday, ac
companied by Deputy Sheriff Butler.
The mother said she had whipped the
girl with a switch and both she and the
girl declared that there were no bruises
on the child's body. An examination by
Mrs. Powers showed that both arms
We're black and blue in color from the
shoulder to the elbow. and that both legs
were also blackened from the knee to
the ankle. There We're in addition sew
eral bruises on the chnd's body.
The mother was brought into court at
Chesterfield Monday before Justice
Slade. Mrs. Carpenter appeared very
stubborn and declared that she had
beaten the child. but not enough to hurt
her After being questioned repeatedly
she finally pleaded guilty and was bound
over for appearance before the grand
is expected that bail Of 500 will be fur
nished. Lawyer Madden, who prose-
cuted the case. told the woman that If
he had evidence between now and the
conVenng of court that she had again
struck the child, the daughter would be
taken from her.
Mrs. Powers is a resident of Bratte-
boro. but she took charge of this case as
special agent of the Keene Humane soci-

There is comfort in the thought
" This, too, shall pass away" and it
applies pertinently at the present
time to the Mr.. Dooley" rambles,
the Fables " and the Self Made ;"
letters which greet the eye on every
hand. American humor seemingly is
at low ebb but Thomas Bailey AL
drich, in the Century for August ho.11.s
out the hope that the present condi.
ton is only temporary, when he says
" American humorists are nearly as
ephemeral as the flowers that bloom
in the spring. Each generation has
its own crop, and, as a rule. insists on
cutivating its own kind. That of
1860, if it were to break into blossom
at the present moment, would prob
ably be left to fade upon the stem
Humor is a delicate shrub, with the
passing hectic flush of time. The
current topic variety is especially
subject to very early frosts, as is also
the dialect species. Mark Twain's
humor is not to be classed with the
fragile plants; it has a serious root,
striking deep down into rich earth,
and I think it will go on Towering in
definitely"

Extended editorial space is being
used to explain that Judge Lochern's
decision in Minnesota in favor of the
Northern Securities company and
against the state does not affect
the case brought in the federal courts
under the antitrust law" The ques-
tiCn, however, was identical with the
government case. being simply this:
Is the Northern Securities company.
by virtue of owning a controlling in.
terest in the Great Northern and
Northen Pacific roads, parallel and
competing lines. acting in restraint of
trade? District Judge Lochern says
the mere possession of such power es-
tablishes no case of guilt as in re-
straint of trade. Four judges of the
United States court held that the
Northern Securities company was
formed in restraint of trade and was
an unlawful conspiracy. The two de-
cisions are apparently at variance.
but both will probably be passed
along for final settlement in the
United States Supreme court.

In solace of the lovely earth;

Cuban Soldiers Grab.

The Cuban soldiers who fought for
liberty against Spanish rule are now
ready to indulge in a grab game. An
attempt is being made to negotiate a
loan of $35,000.0O0 to pay the soldiers
for their services. and Gen. Gomez.
chairman of the commission dealing
with the matter. believes that eventu-
ally S60,OO0000 will be needed. How
serious a matter this is for Cuba is
seen in the statement that 35,000,000
would mean S23 per capita of interest
bearing debt, as compared with sim.
liar obligation of less than Sl2 per
capita in this country In view Of the
character of a large part of the pop
ulation of Cuba and the comparative
poverty of the island, an attempt to
meet these claims would impose a
crushing burden upon the people
The pay of Gen. Gomez as commander
in-chief lis fixed at $4,000 a year. and
the pay of many generals and colonels
at $4,000 and upwards, while the pri-
Yates expect to receive 5000 each for
two and one-half years service. I'm
der the Platt amendment the United
States has a right to prevent Cuba
from getting beyond her depth in a
foreign debt. and the condition may
become so serious as to require the in
tervention of our government.

when he is unconscious, the inter-

nothing effectual has been done about It

much liquor is being sold at wholesale
