HAWAIIAN DEMOCRATS.

Hearst Democrats of Hawaii now be-
gin to see, what everybody else saw
long ago. that they have cast in their
lot with losing cause. AS a candi-
date Mr.. Hearst is at the end of his
tether and his only hope now is to
succeed as a trader of 1904 votes for
favors promised him in 1908. Among
the assets to be traded are the Demo-
cratic delegates from Hawaii. For
what price or to whom they are bound
even Hearst can't say as yet. Like the
goat that lost it's tag, they don't know
where they are going and the express
man can't tell.
After their experience in the st. Louis
convention We shall expect the local
Democrats to progress another step in
wisdom. Four years ago they sent a
man to the national gathering who cast
the deciding vote in the platform COM
mittee which doomed the ticket to a
second defeat on the silver issue. This
time they left that man at home but
made the error of going wrong in the
matter of instructions. After they have
been bought, traded and sold like a
flock of sheep, and come home heeced,
they will learn another useful lesson
in politics and prepare to go the next
time unpledged and free, when on the
convention ground, to make the best
possible alliance for Hawaii.
Incidentally they will learn not to
believe all they see in a paper run by
the man who wants their votes.

Care of the Ears.

In the proper care of the ears in
youth two thugs have to be considered
the loca! conditions of the ears, and,
what is equally important, the gener-
al state of the child's health.
AS to the care of the ear itself, it
must always be remembered that the
hearing apparatus is a piece of very
delicate mechanism, no more suited
to rough treatment than is the ball OF
the eye. 1t can be easily injured by
the introduction of foreign body, or
a blow from the outside. Small chill
dren sometimes push things into their
ears by way of experiment. In this
case the child 's guardians should keep
perfectly cool, and send for physl-
cian at once. The child must not be
shaken and punished until the object
is removed, and above all the nurse
or the mother must not grope for 1t
with hairpin or tweezers, for that Is
the way to push it farther in, or to
wound or even rupture the delicate
drum membrane-an action which may
be followed by complete deafness, and
even death, should a serious inham-
nation ensue.
There is perhaps one exception to
this rule of leaving foreign body
alone until the doctor comes. Occa-
sionally insects fly into the ear, and
cause great anguish by buzzing and
futteriug about They can ne speed
lily disposed of by dropping in little
sweet oil or lukewarm salt water.
As to injury from the outside, chill
/ dren should be carefully guarded
against any games which include loud
shouting directly into the ear, and it
is surely needless to add that pulling
the ears and, above all, boxing the
ears as form Of punishment, should
be held a criminal offense. 1t may
induce partial and temporary deaf
ness, complete deafness, and even
death, and if INDUCED in by teach
er should be followed by arrest and
public rebuke.

WALL STREET. REVIEW
SAME LIsTLEss DRIFT OF PRIc-
Activity of the Market on a Dimin- ishing Scale Day by Day-Await- ing Decision as to Nortnern
 Securities Distribution.

New York, April iS-No new interest vas awakened in the stock marx to- oeey ana there was the same listless dri t ol prices and ianguid operations as seen most or the time last week. The activ- ity of the market is on diminishing scale from day to day. Such light ic- sN,ty as there was today was abruptly nated by the announcement from St. raui that there would be no decision to- day on the petition regarding the mat 1T oI distributing the Northern Securities assets. This fosters the impression that Ine market Is waiting on this decision. Is against the likilhood of the petition being entertained while the conviction is general that the contest will be pursued py pn,oa o.h95 isgai steps on the part of the douotful whether the expected decision at St. Paul Is to release the market from tns repression upon 1t. The repressiye lnhuence of the contest involved in ,s Increased by the point drop in Great Northern preferred today. Much discus sion is given to the continued output of railroad notes in the money market for snort periods and at high interest rates. notwithstanding extreme ease of money for loans In other forms. Additional contrast to this condition was afforded by the news from London and Paris of sues in those markets, which is resultin~ from the accumulation of capital st those centers. The investment demand in the London market has encouraged tho de- cision to offer the $25,000.001 Transva1l guaranteed loan and in Paris the large oyer subscription for the S34,0000o city of Paris loan has been followed by an- nouncements of other government is- sues. It Is believed until the issuance of railroad short time notes in this market has been completed. the investment de- Inand for bonds and stocks will halt Present speculation halts accordigglv. The weekly discussion of traffic by rall- road officials did not indicate any actual revival. These officials explanation Of their professed 'satisfactionf with a smaller volume of trafflc than last year is that they had expectel the shrinka ye would be much worse. Last weeks as- sumption that the fixing of grain rat es from Chicago had settled the dispute over the differential on ex-lake grain r-am Buffalo was found to be due to a mis- construction of the case and some unfa- vorable effect was thus revived. A light speculation in Consolidated Gas on the disputed chances of pending legislation was an important feature of the market. Missouri Pacific made a response to the statement of net earnings for February. The closing of traders accounts reduced the net changes to still narrower propor- tions. The closing was fairly steady.
 Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales par value $i,39),000. U. s. bonds were unchanged on the last call.
