sMARTING UNDER DEFEAT.

Our headed executive can't
get over the setting down lot OF
Republican tax dodgers gave him
last winter, when they sent their
hired lobbyist to Charleston to con-
troll Republican Legislature which
they did as easily as father con.
trolls his two year child.
No law was passed to benefit the
common people and nothing was
done to tax the oil, gas and coal in
terests of the State. A few bills were
passed allowing the County Courts to
increase the salaries of County OF
ficers aad everything tending to
equalize taxation was brushed aside.
Remember the Legislature about
which Governor White is now send
ing up such howl, and domineered
by a paid lobby was Republican by
very large majority.
There Is but one thing to do and
that is to return to the good old
Democratic party. She built all our
State institutions and paid for them
and turned over more than million
OF dollars to our Republican breth-
rem and now they are having all kind
OF trouble among themselves to
keep the old ship from sinking.

Of good legislation on the statute

tell you the public sentiment which

the ballot. But half the community
is silent when these questions are
decided. In many of these fights

vote. l will not say that they have
not influence now, but it is imper-
feet, inadequate and indirect. As
4 rule, men manage the business,
and women the homes; therefore
men see that the laws relating to
property are sharply and strongly
carried out, but the laws relating
to the protection of the home and
OF public morals are ineffectively
enforced. If women could vote,
am sure that this other part of leg
islation would be carried out also.

What an opera, boufe country that
is, anyway-for the most part un-
der the control of unspeaIable

revolt and intrigue. Better
thousand times to be decent
law abiding citizen of the rank and
file Of common folks.
Between cloudbursis in the West
and murder in our midst, the tide
of events is rough in the extreme.
The policy shop is one of the worst
OF many existing evils. That a
brave man should have lost his life
in trying to suppress this evil is
most deplorable. A terrible example
should be made of the slayer of
Charles MacFarlane.
As to the strikers: The conflic,
is still on. Building interests are
suffering. 1t is positively criminal

are not adequate in all sections of
the city. The vast army of child
rem in this city are entitled to an
education, and should have it, at all
hazards.
We were pining, only recently,
for rain, and now we are getting it.
l can say that we are truly thankful.
The weather has, for the past few
days been cold enough to make us
wonder whether we are in the midst
of June or the last of December.
Powered dimity makes pretty
covers for baby's carriage. The
edges are buttonholed and finished
with ruffle of Hamburg embroid-
cry.
Powered piqua makes pretty
little top collars and cuffs. A dainty
design shows pink roses on white
ground, with white buttonhole
stitching on the edge.
Grass linen waist are very smart.
Some pretty specimens at Lord &
Taylor's have the fronts embroider-
ed in dots in different shades of
one color, these dots being in grad
uated sizes.
Nets are much employed by
smart dressers. They make ideal
hats, waists, parasols and gowns en-
tire.
Small bias bands come in white
and colors ready to make into col
lars. They cost three and five
cents yard, and are joined by
fagoting.
For parting present to tourist
friend, get a small square basket
of plated straw filed with choice
bon bons. The basket will serve as
an artistic reminder of the donor
after the sweeties are gone.
A very charming hat is a fasci-

REGULATIONS AT MIDWAY.

Captain ROdman who was appointed
naval governor of the island of Midway
sent to Superintendent Colley of the
cable station a letter giving him au-
thority to make rules and regulations
for the government of the islands. In
asmuch as only the employees of the
cable company will be at Midway, the
laws ought not to be especially difficult
to frame and follow.
There has been some question raised
to as the jurisdiction over Midway.
The island belonged to the Hawaiian
Republic and with Annexation, became
a part Of the United States. Under
the County government act all islands
not otherwise provided for under the
act, are part of Oahu county. This
would place Midway in Oahu County.
The Navy Department seems disposed
however to ignore the alleged prior
claim of the Territory and is acting
as if Midway had been annexed by the
United States Independent of the Re-
