LlNCOLN'S NOMINATION.
The Part Vermont Took in the Chica .
90 Convention Of 1861

AT the unwilling of the Chester A.

Robert 7. Lincoln, appropriately re-
ferred to a well-nigh forgotten event
that Vermonters should take just pride
in mbering,-Vermont's part in
nominating Abraham Lincoln to the
presidency.
AT the opening of the republican ma
tional convention at Chicago in 1860,
William H. Seward of New York was
the leading candidate, with his nomi-
nation apparently the logical outcome
Horace Greeley, on the ground, and a
bitter opponent of Seward, teIe-
graphed his paper that the opposition
could not unite to accomplish any other
result. All the eastern states, after a
few complimentary ballots for favorite
sons. were expected ultimately to vote
for the accomplished New Yorker. and
had the expected happened no one
need be told that Abraham Lincoln
could not have become a national
character in any predominating sense.
The part enacted by the Vermont
delegation, while important numeri-
cally. was chiefly influential in its
moral effect at a moment when state
delegations were hesitating In the
first ballot Lincoln had votes from east
ern states, for instance half of the
Maine contingent, seven out of ten
from New Hampshire and a few from
Massachusetts,. Vermont's vote in the
first ballot was given complimentary
to Senator Collamer. In the second
ballot, while New Hampshire had the
nOnOr oil
coin, its action, not being a radical
change. has never been accredited
with particular deliberative effect. The
Vermont delegation first voted for
favorite son and then, unfiirtatious
with Seward and without play for po-
sition, it threw a solid ballot for the H.
linois rail splitter" The moral effect
was first seen in Pennsylvania, which
also mad voted first for favorite son.

These Books of Mine.

My garden aboundeth in pleasant
hooks,
And fragrance is over it ALL
For sweet is the smell of my old, old
books
In their places against the wall.
Here is a folio that's grim with age,
And yellow and green with mold;
There's the breath of the sea on every
page,
And the hint of a stanch ships hold.
And here is a treasure from France
la belle
EXhaleth a faint perfume
Of welded lily and asphodel,
In a garden of song abloom.
And this wee little book of Puritan
mien,
And rude. conspicuous print,
Hath the Yankee flavor of winter
green,
Or, maybe, of peppermint.
In Walton the brooks a-babbling tell
Where the CHEEKY daisy grows,
And where in meadow or woodland
dwell
The buttercup and the rose.
But best beloved of books, 1 ween,
Are those which one perceives
Are hallowed by ashes dropped
between
The yellow, well-thumbed leaves.
For it's here a laugh and it's there
tear,
Till the treasured book is read;
And the ashes between the pages here
Tell us of one long dead.
But the gracious presence reappears
And we read the book again,
And the fragrance of precious, distant
years,
Filleth the hearts of men.
Come, pluck with me in my garden
hooks
The posies that bloom for all;
oh, sweet is the smell of my old, old
books,
In their places against the wall!

1t is estimated that the sheepmen of
Utah have realized s15O,00O to 5000, 600
less for their wool clip this year than
last. In Idaho the difference is about
twice as great. In Wyoming and Mon
tana similar losses have been sus-
tanned. The total loss is even greater,
as there are not so many lambs as is
customary. Many sheep have died be-
cause of exposure during the late win
ter, scarcity of feed and the spread of
the big head. Altogether it has been
an unsatisfactory year for sheepmen,
although the price of wool has been
higher than it was in 1902.

treme penalty of hanging for the pris-
oner. who had been in the penitentiary
for three years on a life sentence. On
his previous trials he escaped with a
sentence of life imprisonment, as the
evidence was not sufficiently strong
against him to lead the jury to infiict

TOWN MEETING CALLED.

The town meeting Is the most Ameri-
can thing in American politics. 1t
dates back hundred years beyond
the revolution. Throughout New En-
gland and the Middle States and else
where in the sphere of old fashioned
American custom, II is the common
way Of settling the public affairs OF
small communities. Pure democracy
has no clearer or more wholesome
manifestation.
The merchants and other business
men, who think that a chance should
have been given them and all others
to discuss the supposed objects OF Mr..
Hatch's trip to Washington IN advance
of his going; and who wish to know
where the County Act stands. have de-
cided to call A TOWN MEETING for
next Saturday night. The call will be
issued in due form as soon as a suitable
meeting place is secured. Many speak
ers will be secured, the debate will be
open to the audience and the result will
assuredly clear the atmosphere and
determine what communication had
best be made with Washington, II any.
Honolulu's first town meeting should
be the occasion for general outpour-
ing of citizens. The issue is impor-
tant enough to annul private engage
ments for the public good; so let every
body turn out.

TESTING LAW AT HOME.

A well known attorney stated yester-
day that he knew of no reason why a
case against the County law cannot
be made up within a week One meth
cd of bringing the question to issue
could be for any citizen who felt that
the County law would aggrieve him
to file bill in equity for an injunction
against certain named County officers
who are threatening to take action on
the 4th day of January, the date on
which the act goes into effect. The
grounds of the Injunction would be
that the County officers would take
ths~action illegally.
1t is not necessary that man should
wait until he is injured before he can
file a bill. He has the right to file a
bill before the injury has happened
for the express purpose of preventing
it's happening. Consequently 1t is not
necessary to wait until the County Act
goes into effect before action can be
taken to test its validity.

reach n corresponding elevation on
Tantalus; now the round trip to the
Heights costs four nickels, two for the
Rapid Transit and two for Desky. Any
one who has not seen the view from
the hotel site and breathed the medici-
nal air which sweeps the green sum-
mits back of the city has missed one of
the most zestful enjoyments of tropi-
cal life. Some day there Will be a
hotel on Pacific Heights the owner of
which will make money out of the peo-
pie who find physical and mental bene-
fit in the change of air and scene. 1t Is
the common human instinct to seek the
mountains and the woods, but Oahu is
one of the few resorts which, though
possessing the natural charms of alti-
tude has not turned them to the best
popular use. Mr.. Desky made be-
ginning with his Pacific Heights rail-
road and II that enterprise is we'll sup
ported, so alert and progressive a man
may be counted on to provide the need

NEVER A MOUTHpleCe

Governor Carter is quoted as follows
in the Bulletin: Never again can it be
said with truth that the Advertiser is
the mouthpiece of this administration"
The Governor should bear us out in
saying that never before was such a
thing said with truth" This paper
is not the organ of anything but good
government and simply regards Off
Gals and administrations as means to
that end. Though supporting Gov
ernor Dole's general policy it never
hesitated to disagree with such of his
measures as seemed opposed to the
highest public interests and 1t expects
to treat the policies of Governor Carter
and his successors in precisely the
same way. The Advertiser finds much
to commend in tie present Territorial
executive and has high hopes and an
ticipations for him, but it will never
go under bonds to be his mouthpiece
or that of any other public servant.
It's own freedom Of opinion it regards
as its best asset; and to popular con-
fidence in its habit of planting itself
upon convictions and using plain
speech, 1t largely attributes the fact
that 1t Is today the oldest and most
widely read and influential secular
journal In Hawaii.

NO PROBABLE INTERFERENCE.

Colombia's hope that Germany would
help her against the United States has
been dispelled by the kaiser's recog-
milton of the Panama republic.
There never We're good grounds for
Colombias expectation, not even in the
known antipathy of Germany to the
Monroe doctrine. No one nation or no
existing alliance of nations in Europe
will war upon the United States save
as a last, desperate resort in self-de-
fence. The reason is that If one ma
ton should do so the United States
could, If 1t chose, enter into an often
siva and defensive alliance with the
European enemies of that nation; and
the same course would be followed If
an existing alliance should begin hos
tilities. For example, German attack
on the United States would mean an
American compact with Russia and
France and If possible with England
and an attempt to break up the Drei-
bund, thus isolating the German poY-
er. Even the Kaiser, indomitable as
his nature is, would hesitate at such a
risk.
1t is In recognition OF the United
balance of power in the worlds affairs
