A VOICE FROM WASHINGTON.

was deeply grleVeu at the us
grace recently come upon our town.
(Though absent in body ! am pres
emit in spirit. OF course the cul-
mination comes from the man who
broke open the door. Some will
blame the saloon, and justly, but
the greatest blame rests on the
whole people who sold their moral
environment for revenue only"
| was schoolmate of that officer.
He was bright, brave, kindhearted
boy, and in different environments,
most probably, would have made a
noble man. This may be turning
point that will make him give his
life to the side of righteousness
All men would rejoice and when he
began to experience the fruits of a
life given to God he would praise
him the rest of his days.
You remember about twenty
years ago, under that prince among
men, Gen. Green Clay Smith, local
option was passed for two years.
No saloons for two years. Whisky
was brought in; sold, and drunk.
/ remember well one officer, who
true to his oath of office, succeeded
in bringing some of the anarchists
to justice. gained for himself the
illwill of many good citizens and
lost his position. Nevertheless dur
ing those two years seldom was a
drunken man seen on the streets /;
ladies iii passing certain places
found it unnecessary to quicken
their pace; passengers from the
night trains felt reasonably sure of
reaching Main street; boys of prin-
ciple and proper training never saw
men drink nor knew their haunts !;
and, if remember correctly, not a
single man wa skilled on our
streets during that period. After
two years saloons were returned
again uiie streets IN ooi Jain i6oa,ii-
ties became unsafe for men, women
or children; drunken men were
seen reeling on the streets at all
hours Of the day and night; and in
less than seven months seven men
were killed on our streets one, Jer-
ry Cravens, was killed the first day
Of January as if to celebrate the
return of the saloon. Yet in view
of these facts heard good chris
tian men say they would never vote
for local option because a FEW
drank. l was only boy then but
it produced profound impression
on my mind and / determined If |
ever reached manhood / would do
all in my power to put down the
evil. The opportunity never came.
Now 1 am long way off and feel
l must speak, You people have
been warned of the whisky curse
by profanity, penury, prostitution,
and bloodshed. These have become
TOO common. May this new warn
ing open the eyes Of all to see your
sin, and your ears that you may
hear the blood of many brothers, az
it cries out from the ground in tes-
timony against you.

sought him out early in their ca.

of these, at least, was not un-

and had reached that position
where his say in literary affairs
meant something, he never lost an
opportunity to say nice things of
the author of "Silas Lapham."
On one occasion, says the Phila'

thor made an address before a
body of literary men in which he
virtually asserted that every.
thing good and great in native lit.
erature owed it's inspiration to
Howells. The address was print.

on at length, not always in man.

Howells' attention was, natural.

DELEGATES ARE
ENJOYING LIFE
HAWAII'S REPRESENTATIVES, TO
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION LEFT
FOR EAST LAST WEDNESDAY.

Among the Honoluluans to return
this morning by the S. S. Siberia was
J. NJ. Dowsett He has been absent two
months on the mainland, and during
that time he managed to visit all of the
principal northern and eastern cities.
He went to the st. Louis Exposition.
The Exposition" said Mr.. Dowsett
is stupendous. The people have at
tempted entirely too much in that fair.
An idea of the immense extent of the
things can be gained when it is known
that the fair ground occupy over 1900
acres. The agricultural building occu-
! pies 80 acres alone. When you walk
about in those buildings, you simply
get bewildered and it Is difficult not to
get lost. The electrical display at night
! is wonderful. 1t surpasses anything Of
| the kind that l have ever seen, and l
have been going to expositiOns ever
since the Crystal Palace in London. In
fact the same thing can be said of the
general Exposition at st. Louis. 1t is
greater than anything that has ever
been attempted.
But people who wish to thoroughly
enjoy the show, should not go before
September. At the present time, there
are numerous buildings not finished.
After viewing some beautiful buildings
to encounter one only partially COM
pleted, produces a disagreeable shock
and spoils the general effect. The best
plan will be to wait until September
and then the full effect can be enjoyed.
THE Republican delegates to the Ma
tiOnal Convention were still i'm San
Francisco. Robertson Robinson, Knud-
sen and Prince Cupid are training to-
gether. They seem to be enjoying their
visit to San Francisco. I understood
that w. H. Hoogs and Senator Dickey
were also in San Francisco. l heard
that Hogs was to leave soon for Chi
cago in order to arrive ahead of the
other members of the delegation. Gov
ernOr Carter had already gone east,
Prince Cupid stated the day that the
Siberia sailed that the other delegates
, expected to leave for Chicago on June
Is, so l presume they have departed by
this time.
