LUCAS WANTS WALTER.

Mr.. Lucas is satisfied with Dilling-
ham. So well pleased is he that he will
get on the housetops and sing his
praises, and as he sings you viii hear
the name of Hustace sounded above
the din. Jack is for Hustace first, last
and all the time, and Dillingham; The
craving of Gear, or the butting, can
not be understood by the men who,
under all ordinary circumstances.
would be wise to the movements of
the Push" Crabbe, it is said, is the
result of his withdrawal from the
shrievalty contest, and his candidacy is
in compliance with the personal wishes
of the Sheriff. But if anyone not
known to be a near friend of that Of
fetal should put the question to him he
would undoubtedly reply that it was
not the case. Dillingham; is known to
be a friend of the chief and the chief
to him, and with the cordial relations
between them nothing could be more
likely than they should help each
other But the Sheriff will not say that
he is for any particular candidate if the
say is for publication. In that respect
he is a sphinx. But how he will open
up when someone remarks on his sup
porting Gear. Bring anyone who has
heard me say that I want Gear elect
ed, that 7 have asked him to be a can
didate. or in any way encouraged him
to rum" is what he will say to anyone
who insinuates that the Gear boom is
of his construction.
THE DIRECT PRIMARY.
The delegates who went up to Wal
luku yesterday were divided upon the
question of inserting into the platform
a plank suggesting a direct primary
vote. The opposition will come largely
from the Lane Sabbath school class and
why no one can tell. But there is, in
the opinion of those men, a feeling that
there is something hidden under the
fence and they are afraid to take off
the boards
The delegates who go from the
Fourth District are practically a unit
for the plank. And there Is one en-
dorsing the administration and a ref
eI ence to immigration. Another to be
brought up in the convention is in re-
lation to the Board of Educa ton and
the pay of the teachers, and a third
deals with the question of a tax COM
mission on the lines laid down in the
meeting of the merchants the other
day. These are all in the draft taken
up yesterday. Those referring to pro-
tia had not received consideration at
the hands of the trainers Of the plat
form to any appreciable extent up to
the time of the departure of the Mauna
Loa at noon. They may be handled

SUPERVISOR
CANDIDATES
Brown Is Not for Gear
mo Health Plank
Mentioned.

In the case of the Brown-Gear-
Crabbe-Johnson combination things
seem to be at skies and sevens, and so
far as Brown and Gear are concerned
il is a case of 1 did and I didn't. It is
rumored that Gear has publicly stated
that Brown sent for him to come to
his office and then told him he would
have TO run for Supervisor from the
Fourth of the Fourth, Crabbe's pre-
cinct The didn't part of the affair
comes from Sheriff Brown, who says
positively that it is not so and that he
is not supporting Gear. Brown has a
fair reputation for yeracity, but the
voters are drawing different conclu-
sions and there are several kinds in
connection with this particular phase
of the campaign. Johnson's position in
the affair seems to be such that places
him away from Brown and Crabbe and
even Little Jack, if the rumors are
true. For instances: A gentleman who
deals in good fish only in the Fish
market was overheard to say that Sam
was for Crabbe and Hustace and all
Of the machine pull in the Territory
viii not get him to change. The only
reason to doubt the statement is in the
reference to machine Sam seems to
be pretty good machinist himself and
the quality of work he turns out seems
to be good-for Sam. This same fish
dealer says that Johnson will not sup
port Dillingham; on account of the OPP
position of the men he has under him,
men who will not stand for Dilling-
hams employment of the japanese in
connection with the wharf enterprises.
It is the Hawaiians who do most of
the voting and that point seems to be
overlooked by the young aspirant to
Supervisor honors. Sam is for Crabbe,
all right. and there seems to be no
question of his loyalty to Charlie
HuStace.

It was George Washington, we be- lieve, who wouldn't allow colored man to be more polite to him than he was to the colored man. The New Ha- ven Central Young Mems Christian As sociation (White and Limited) is not like Mir. Washington in some things. It has allowed the Goffe street Young Mems Christian Association of New Haven (Colored but Unlimited), to ex- ceed it in politeness. The Col- ored but Unlimited Association has thus resolved: That the following be declared as the policy of this associa- tion, viz: That it's work shall be pri- marily, but not exclusively for colored men, and that it's privileges shall be available to all young men desiring them without regard to race"

lA STTR IN FRANCE.

A correspondent of one of the London papers quotes incidents to show the excitement stirred up by the taking of church inventories in Central France. He says that the peasants of the dis triet of Saugues, in the Haute Loire, are "out" like any border tribe. Men, women and even children are armed with farm implements, and, in some cases, with guns; the churches are all closed, except to the band of picked defenders. Here and there prepara- tions have been made to fell trees in order to obstruct the road, and it is even said that some roads have been mined. At St. Paul de Tartas, barbed wire entanglements surround the church for a hundred yards A port- cullis, weighted with lead, has been fixed over the porch. The windows have been built up with wood and stone. Loopholes have been arranged everywhere Some of the slates have been taken off the roof in order to give light to the defenders, and a platform

HOW NOT TO DO TT.

United States business men are as a rule so smart that it is almost na- tional disgrace when one of them fails to uphold the reputation of this coun- try in a foreign country United States Consul Ledoux of Prague gives sample instance of the difficulties which some American consuls have in their efforts to foster American trade, In this instance a high official of the kingdom of Bohemia was much i'm pressed, after visiting the American consulate, with cabinet for filing commercial literature which he saw there, and he asked the consul to make arrangements to have one purchased and sent to him from America, The consul undertook the mission and com- munlcated with the American firm. The consul knew the price of the cabinet at Chicago was $20, but when he in- quired the price at which it would be  sold to this official it was raised to $80. Besides this the firm refused to Sell the cabinet to this responsible official, who was vouched for by the American con- sul, unless 1t was paid cash in advance. Not only was this condition insisted upon, but it was several months after the order was given before the goods were delivered, and the cost to this Be- hemlan officer of a cabinet sold in Chi cago for $2O was, after all charges had been added to it, $4S62.
 This isn't the way to encourage the trade expansion which is So dear and so profitable to us, and 1t is to be hoped that there isn't much such work.

It was lately demonstrated in a dis cussion in the foremost of botanical journals that nearly all the people nED blondes, while most of the immune are dark skinned. Blondes, one authority maintains, have greater proportion of red corpuscles than white in their blood and consequently possess less power of resistance to germs and germ diseases. And now Professor James Nevins Hyde of Chicago demonstrates that blondes are much more susceptible to cancer than brunettes the darker the skin, he says, the less is the liability to cancer, until the negro, who does not have cancer at all, is reached.
 All this goes to support the theory, stoutly maintained by a great many dark completed people, that blondes are an abnormal development in the history of the human race-a sort of garden spot, washed-out, unnaturally bleached type, and destitute threfore of the natural guarantees against disease. This theory declares them to be a mere result of a deficiency of sunlight, and
