wall as long as history is written.
During McKinley's administration Ha-
vail was taken into the Union. Wheth-
er Hawaii bears the memory of the late
President in high esteem or not. II is
known that he had particularly
kindly interest in the islands as being
the first of the new possessions to
come under the flag in the era of en-
pansion of which he was the leader.
The rapidity with which Hawaii's
ardor for Mckinley has cooled reflects
no unusual credit upon the thoughtful
citizens of the Territory. Even the
memorial which was planned with APP
propriate enthusiasm appears to have
been forgotten 1t has only to remain
dormant a few more years to become
little more than the memory of a fail
ure. Financial depression has I'M
doubtedly done a great deal to check
this work, but this is no reason why
the people should forget.
There is one lesson of McKinley's life
particularly appropriate for contem-
plation in this Terrr,vry. Frequent
repetition should never make the
story old He was the first President
to strengthen the bonds Of good feel
| ing between the North and the South
He succeeded better than any OF his
( predecessors In the upbuilding OF O
more united national spirit and wipinl
out the preiudices that followed tn,

Mckinley was first of all peace max

upbuilding of prosperity and content

peace at home and abroad.
The Bulletin is fortunate in the pos
session of a volume of President Nc
kinley's speeches, in which McKinle.
himself pencil marked passages he con
sidered the best. One of the notabl
details of these selections Is the FIRE
, lquent understanding of passages Il
which he referred to the reunited coun
try, the good feeling between section

tional spirit.
Stronger national spirit is most Ger
tainly what Hawaii requires. and
cannot obtain better texts for guild

dent.

TALK Of fusion
Is RIFE
ON THE STREETS

Whenever a campaign approaches,
talk Of fusion on the part of the Home
Rulers begins to blossom forth from
the street corners and other places
where political discussion is wont to
arise.
Yesterday forenoon. there was a ses.
sion Of the Home Rule Central Com.
mittee and fusion talk was rife. The
proposition was very automatically
put as a feeler by very diplomatic
member of the committee, and then
arose a discussion which finally re-
suited In no action being taken.
A member of the Central Committee
said today: "What Is the use of talk.
ing about fusion with the Democrats?
When will Home Rulers cease this
useless struggle? Is not one expert.
ence enough? Why are the more in
telligent of the party staying right by
the colors? For nothing else in the
world than to keep the less intelligent
of the natives in hand and instruct
them along political lines that will re-
dound to their benefit. An attempt to
merge the identity OF the Home Rule
party into that of the Democratic par.
ty will be nothing short OF suicide. The
more intelligent OF the members of the
Home Rule party would go over 10
the Democrats and the less intelligent
would simply remain where they are.
Thus we would bring defeat on both
parties.
There is time enough to consider
this question and at the present time
|, for one, will not vote for fusion. II
there is to be any such move, let It be
with a Citizens Party or an Independ-
ent Republican Party, drawing from
all sides. Fusion is worse than non.
sense at the present time and yet some
OF our most intelligent party workers
are clamoring for wedlock with the
Democrats"

The National Guard Of Hawaii,
through the personal efforts of Colonel
Jones. will very soon have installed at

use to be employed in practice. This
need not cause the residents of the 10
cality to throw up their hands In an
extremity of terror.
The system sought to be introduced
is one Of quite recent adoption and is
In use all over the United States at the
present time.
A range Of about fifty yards, more
or less, Is established, the targets to
be the size of what the ordinary tar.
| gets appear to be to a mans eye at a
distance of 200 yards. Instead of the
regular charge Of powder and the
large bullet, modification is used The
charge Is in the neighborhood of Ave
grains and the ball, instead of beins
conical, Is round and about the size Of
a small marble.
The ball Is driven down into the
aperture of the shell to the powder
charge and is then ready for use. With
this charge and missile. the danger to
people of the neighborhood is done
away with entirely for the force of the

nary of precautions.
The range in the drill.shed viii,

will be in front of the stage and the

The idea of the range is that the mer

The new plan Of securing good re

on all hands and Colonel Jones may
have the satisfaction Of knowing that
his efforts are being very generally
lauded.

share today in proving the truth of the
assertion. This is the anniversary Of

Black Cats, Island.

There is an island in Puget Sound,
not more than half a mile across,
which is so thickly populated with
cats that they may be seen cover
ing the rocks on a sunny day, from
the riggings of passing vessels.
The cats number many thousands,
and the strangest thing is that they
are all black. Every evening a boat
load of fishermen land on the island
and lay out { seine a quarter of mile
long. They pull it in with never less
than ton of fish, but next morning
these fish are gone. The cats devour
them all.
These cats have been placed here
by men WHO are supplying the mar
ket with women's muffs. Once a year
there is great roundup, and several
thousand pussies lose their lives.

Ia Rate May Be Lover.

Within the next few days Governor
Terrell and Comptroller General
Wright will fix the ctate tax rate for
1904.
While no definite conclusion on the
matter has been reached it is learned
that the tax rate for 1904 will be less
than mills The governor and the
comptroller general have not finished
figuring on the matter yet, and will
not do so until all the returns have
been received.
However, the governor is satisfied
that they will be able to make the
rate less than mills, though just how
much less it is impossible to predict
at present.
The fact, however, that there will
be q reduction in the state tax rate
this year will be welcome news to
every section of the state. This tax
rate is to secure funds for expenses
for 1904. The appropriations bills just
passed by the general assembly were
for 1905, and the tax rate under which
the money appropriated for next year
will be raised, will not be made until
about September /, 1905.
