THOROUGHLY UNITED.

the Republicans that come to them
by their long possession OF power
We have one gain over the last
two presidential elections OF the
party. In the first place, we are
thoroughly united, and in good
and kindly spirit and hopeful OF
favorable result. The leaders OF
the party are in touch with their
followers, and by this an up-to'
date canvass of the Democratic
forces of the close and doubtful
States can be secured. The com
mittee organization and forecast
of the party have been secured
and no Democrats anywhere com
plain of it's lack of efficiency and
unity. Comments the New York
World on this phase of the con-
test:
There is work, and plenty
of it, for the Democratic Ma
tional committee. The Re-
publican National committee
will follow the Hanna plan OF
placing the campaign in
charge of the State commit
tees and giving them all the
assistance of whatever kind
they require. There will be
plenty of Republican litera-
ture in circulation, plenty of
Republican speakers on the
stump, plenty of individual
appeal-probably plenty OF
money for any purpose to
which it can be applied.
Even with their great adj
vantage in the candidate and
in the issues, the Democrats
cannot win unless they per-
feet an organization that can
reach the moral sense of the
country, arouse popular en-
thusiasm and bring out the
vote on election day.
There should be a thousand
Democratic clubs formed at
once. Documents should be
distributed broadcast. 1t is
a mistake to think that voters
no longer read. And with the
opening of Setember, at the
latest, meetings should be
held to arouse, inform and in
spire the voters.
It is a mistake to suppose that
intelligent work and a high stand
ard in that work do not pay II
ballOt-box results. Locate the vo
tiers, educate them and then SET
to it that they 60 to the voting
booths and cast their ballots. Tha-
is the whole aim and object Of
campaigning, and every Democrat
can bear a telling part. We arr
not to vote on past elections, deat
and gone issues, but on the future
opportunities and issues of a grea
National contest. The Republl
cans have stronger local organiza
tiOns, and Democrats must walk
up to that and meet it by ear
nest, persistent and united effort
They have the union. Now SCI
to the organization and voting
The party must be organized as
was under Tilden in 1876, O
when we carried a majority of tn
voters, as in 1884, and even il
1888, when we carried a majorit.
Of the voters but failed in tn
electors, and again in 1892, whel
the Democrats swept the fel'
with a majority of the States, tn
electors and the voters. Here ar
examples within the range o
probabilities and reason that mus
inspire the Democratic people i
States where we have a "fightin
chance as well as in State
where the assured majority i
against us.

mortal memory of Robert Burns. Ii
has been usual, I believe, for the speak
er on this subject, to enter minutely
into the life of Burns. That L do NOT
propose to do for two reasons. Firstly,
because it has been gone over by my
self and ttaefs on former occasions,
and secondly, have rarely met Il
Scotehman who couldn't tell me more
in ten minutes about the life of Burns
than ] could in an hour.
You should always endeavor, if you
have to speak on subject, to choose
one that your hearers don't know any
thing about.
1t allows you a latitude in your
statements, that you don't have, when
they know more than you do.
Unfortunately, on the present occa-
sion, have had my subject chosen for
me, so [ am afraid I can not do it JUS
tice.
Burns was born in January, 1853, and
died in July, 1896, at the early age OF
81.
During those 81 years he, however.
accomplished more than many who live
to twice that age.
His life was embittered by much SUI
fering. and insulted by unmerited ca
",
and whatever his faults may have BEEN
it is not for US to enter into judgment
upon them.
He has left us a legacy that is price
less. ana that should be sufficient for
US.
His poeticaI works are what we know
him by and we reverence the remark
able genius that produced them They
alone are the cause of his Immortal
memory and they alone show what
the man really was.
Burns poems came from his heart,
and they appeal to the heart, and es-
pecially to the hearts of his country
men. To many people, not Scotchmen
by-the-way, it is not understood why
Burns should be the Scottish poet pre-
eminent. Sir Walter Scott should, they
think, occupy that position. Now why
does Scott not occupy it?
If may be allowed to put forth an
opinion on so weighty subject, L
should say it was because Sir Walter
Scott wrote his poems expecting fame,
while Burns wrote his without
thought of fame. Scott, perhaps, in MS
attempts to outrival his contemporary
Byron, missed, by his ambition, what
Burns by his humble efforts gained.
Burns wrote for himself first ana next
to please his intimate circle OF friends
That means he wrote honestly and fear
lessly, and in the language of the Scot
tish people. This bent led hun to the
portrayal of his own feelings and an oc-
casional fling at the shortcomings OIL
his neighbors.
It is the faithful portrayal of Scot
fish character in homely Scottish
=ir clear,
that makes his poems the greatest mas
terpieces of Scottish literature.

OLD CHINAMAN HANGS

ton. In the meantime the Chinese
hustled to the tree and lifted the body
of the old man up just enough SO that
the moose which held him slipped and
allowed the would-be nfewrecker to
drop to the ground. He was on his
feet in a minute and stoutly resisted the
efforts of the other Chinese to hold
him. Finally he was held on the ground
in the mud until the patrol wagon ar
rived. The old fellow begged the Off
GERS to permit him to have the rope
and complete the job. Partly in Ha-
waiian and partly in Chinese he moan
ed. II die. Let me die. No money,
no work, and no grub. Let me die"
The police did not see matters in the
same light and hustled him off TO the
station where the jailor declared he
would keep such a good watch over the
prisoner that there would be no further
chance for suicide before morning.

An old Chinaman made a sensational
attempt to commit suicide at an early
hour this morning. Another Chinaman
happened along just in the nick of time,
otherwise a dead body would have
huag from an algaroba tree at the
corner Of Beretania and Nuuanu
streets.
Last evening the old man said to
nunnper of Chinese that he was aged,
poor and hungry and that he would
buy twenty-five cents worth of rope
and hang himself. The other Chinese
then locked him in a room. He broke
away and got the rope. Then he wan
dered for q couple of hours about the
streets. Another Chinese spied him
carrying the rope and thinking that
there would be trouble followed him.
On Nuuanu street, just above Bereta-
MIA, the old fellow fell into ditch. He
) picked himself up and crossing the
street went in among the algaroba
trees and climbed one. Soon his body
was hanging from limb.
Then the man who had been shadow
ing him gave the alarm. He shouted
to a policeman what had happened
