BLEW HIM INTO THE UNION
Only Way Old Darby Could Explain
His Presence Within the
Federal Lines.

OF all the towns in the union, Wash
ington stands prominently as the
forum for civil war "reminiscences.
At the capital of the nation, and geo.
graphically at point midway be-
tween what were in the civil war
days the warning sections, the old
soldiers-federal and confederate
meet as they come and go from every
section of the union, swap stories as
they used to swap newspapers and
tobacco on the lines, and hold genial
sessions while discussing old times
and trials and experiences.
Following the decoration of the
graves of the 267 confederate soldiers
in Arlington cemetery, two old
timers, one a confederate, the other
union veteran, met after the cere-
monies at Arlington, at which both
had been present.
When the union veterans time
came to contribute a Renaissance,
he said:
I well, Of all the surprises that I
ever saw during the whole war, the
biggest and funniest individually was
that of an old colored servant of q
confederate officer, who had the mis-
fortune to be blown over to a point
near the union lines when Gen.
Grants crater or mine was exploded
at Vicksburg. One of our officers
found the old man as we rushed for.
ward. lying stunned and bruised, but
not killed. and said: why, what
in the thunder are you doing over
here?" The old man looked about for
moment bewildered at the blue
uniforms, pulled himself together. and
answered, slowly: Fore Gawd. I
dunno, boss; yisteddy I was in de
confederacy, but bless de Lord, sum-
thin busted last night, and blowed
me plum into de .union!'"

Surprising Strike

There was a friend of mine in
Ohio" said he. who once joyfulIy
sought an oil expert. declaring that he
had struck this fluid on his land. He
brought sample in a bottle. Now
evidently my friend had been in a
great hurry, hastily grabbing the first
bottle at hand, for when the chemist
had duly analysed the sample sub
mitted he sent the following tele-
graphic report:

REST THAT RESTS.

Rest means rest.
"Cut out" worrying.
Rest with capital r.
Few persons know how to rest.
Rushing for trains and boats isn't
resting.
Being elbowed by a vulgar mob isn't
resting.
Neither is staying home and being
annoyed by endless details.
Overdressing, overeating and too
much excitement are not restful.
Over Sunday rest is best accom-
plished by trip to some restful place.
The idea is to discover what best
agrees with one and then to follow it
as well as possible.

IAUKEA'S CONTEST
Continued from Page ID

Dudley that a charge of intimidation
in order to affect an election must
show definitely that a considerable
number of voters were actually de-
tered from voting as they wish and no
such proof was made in the case under
consideration. He also cited a United
States Supreme Court decision that
machinery of election, which might
possibly lead to fraud, must actually
be productive of fraud before it can
be pleaded as affecting the actual re-
suit. Gen. Dudley likewise cited long
line of decisions to the effect thai
whenever a considerable part of an
election can be shown to be regular
and be clearly separated from certain
ballots or precincts, upon which doubt
has been cast and where the result of
the unquestioned ballots is decisive, as
in this case, the election must stand.
Gen. Dudley centered his argument
very largely upon the tables in his
frief, which had been prepared by Mr..
Mcclellan. 1t was entirely Mr.. Me
Clelian s suggestion, in the first in
stance, that led to the preparation OF
these tables as part of the Delegate -
brief.
The questions asked by the members
of the committee. with the exception
of two of the Democratic members
Representatives Gill and Randell the
latter of Texas-were such as to indi-
cate strong leaning towards the
Delegate Kalanianaole side of the
argument. Even Mr. Claude Kitchin,
very partisan Democrat of North
Carolina, declared openly at the Com
mittee hearings that he could see no
legal ground on which to sustain the
contest.
Judge Galbraithr who will remain
here about a week, closed the argu-
'nent. He amplifed the points set
forth in his first address and made a

SARGENT AND
G0MPERS ON LABOR

In his speech before the Conference
on immigration, held under the aus
pieces of the National Civic Federation
in Madison Square Garden, New York,
on December 9th, 1905, Commissioner
of immigration Sargent said:
''There are plenty of opportunities
in this country for immigration. We
need not be alarmed to any great ex-
tent if We can only get them where
they belong. Get them in the West
and in the South. That is where
you want your immigration, and see
that none come but what ought to
come. The Territory of Hawaii is anx-
ious for European immigration. They
are reaching ont for it there; they
want it. And [ know of no place un-
der the sun where there are any better
places for men to locate and take up
land and be small farmers and enjoy
salubrious climate and take part in the
development of the promising part of
our country than Hawaii. They want
European immigration, and they should
be encouraged in getting it, and the
opportunities offered to immigrants to
go there can be explained by represen-
tatives of their Territory, and you gen
tlemen who are interested in the dis
tribution of immigrants should put
them in touch with the gentlemen
from Hawaii -

and want to make him full fedged
dexteroUs, strenuous American work
ingnan, when, as a matter of fact, the
American wOrkingmen who go to those
torrid zones in few years come pref
ty near being as listless as the aver
age Philippine There is no man who
has ever gone into these torrid zones
and remained there and who did hard
work for a few years but who con-
fessed that he became languid and in
capable of that physical and mental
exertion to which he had been aecus-
toned unless he came back TO the Unit
ed States in order to get some of our
ozone into his svstem''
At the conclusion of Mr. Gompers'
speech delegate asked him what he
meant by saying that there had not
been one earnest endeavor to obtain an
honest government in the Philippine
Islands or Hawaiian Islands and said
that he would like to mention four
gentlemen who had been in the sweat
of their brow working for years on
those islands. In reply to this Mr..
Gompers said:
81 will answer the question. There
are some men who imagine that all ar
fairs, all human affairs are controlled
by government. | believe that that is
quite a fallacy. As a matter of fact,

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 20.
Mr. W. o. Smith, of Honolulu, is ex-
pected here tomorrow Sunday morn
ing, whereupon the campaign for the
refunding of IS PER cent of the col
lections to the territory will be pushed
with renewed energy. 1t has already
been arranged that the hearings before
the Committee on Territories shall be-
gin February 3. That is two weeks
away and in the meantime Mr.. Smith
will have opportunity to collect data
and make other preparations. He will
also discuss the changing of the form
of the bill, because of the desire of
residents OF Honolulu that the pr0pos
ed law permit the use of the funds for
territorial as well as federal purposes.
Delegate Kalanianaole stated today
that he could not see his way clear to
change the bill from the form first in
troduced He said that followed the
Presidents recommendations in the !
annual message to Congress; further |
more he felt certain from expression |

to pass a bill permitting !

HYGIENE DISCUSSED
IN SUPREME COURT
ut is a dirty practice"

1t is dirty practice.
This was Justice HartwelFs obiter
dictum on the hearing of the ordinance
against spraying clothes from the
mouth yesterday.
Chief Justice Frear intimated to
County Attorney Douthitt at the outset
that the court did not require argu-
ment on the point of the uncleanliness
OF the practice.
Mr. Douthitt quoted two L. S. Su-
preme Court decisions, both on Chi
nese laundry cases from California,
wherein the doctrine was held that
laws might be circumscribed in APP
plfcatfon to particular class and yet
not be unconstitutional as class legis-
lation. so long sas they bore equally
upon every individual comprised with
in that particular class. He offered to
file a brief of additional authorities,
but the Chief Justice intimated that
he need not do so unless later request
ed by the court.
Justice Wilder had asked Mr.. Dou-
thitt if mention of Chinese laundrymen
in the preamble of an ordinance would
not make it class legislation of I'M

mentioned, in the negative
A G. NJ Robertson, for the appellant,
argued that the county supervisors had
not shown even dealing in this matter
by their neglect OF other practices
contrary to hygiene. There was the
IA bit of swapping pipes for instance.

somewhere" Justice Rartweu smilinsly
observed
Mr.. Robertson also mentioned the
drinking of wine made by treading out
the grapes with bare feet that might
possibly be diseased. Moreover, there
was a kind OF fne-cut chewing to-
bacco in the manufacture of which the
raw material was chewed some by
the operatives before laying it out to
dry.
Appearances indicated that the prin-
cipal sticking point Of the ordinance

IN the minds of the court was the liza

In default of paying the fine. Mr. Rob-
ertson made his last stand, replying

THE PHILIPPINE BILL.

The Philippine tariff bill has passed
the House of Representatives, but 81
Republican members voted against 1t.
Accordingly it cannot be said with en-
tire accuracy that the bill passed by
Republican votes. 1t required some
Democratic votes to pass it. The bill
is now before the Senate Committee
on the Philippines, where it will be
considered shortly. A favorable re-
port is likely, bnt the obstacles ahead
of the measure in the Senate are many
and, if it becomes a law, it probably
will not be till late in the session.
Many influential senators, like Mr..
Hale, of Maine, are against it. Some
think the bill will be defeated, but
that prediction is not warranted yet

WHAT GOMPERS SAID.

At the same conference. speaking
to the question of Chinese immigration,
Samuel P. Gompers, President of the
American Federation of Labor, said:
1.-The sugar planter of Hawaii, the
adventurer in the Philippines, are all
of the one stripe in trying to deceive
the working American people into the
belief that there is a dearth of work
men and the only recourse is to the
Chinaman. (Applause)- As matter

THE IMMIGRATION PLAN.

~ shall make my plans for taking
immigrants to Hawaii largely with a
view to securing domicile for every
family said Mr.. Atkinson this morn
ing. GIN the past we have imported
thousands of laborers and the mistake
that has been made is the fact that
these people were not placed upon the
land and domiciled. 1t would seem
then that we ought to benefit from
the mistakes formerly made and settle
people upon the lands. There are some
lands on which settlers can make nv
ing without other employment. On
other lands, settlers will have to OBJ
tain employment in connection with
the settlement thereof.
We must let the settlers feel the
responsibilities of the ownership OF
homes They will then take an inter
est in the welfare of the country and
gradually take up the duties of citi-
zens.''
Mr.. Atkinson has talked recently
with Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot,
whom President Roosevelt delegated
to investigate land questions in Ha-
wall. 1t is not improbable that Mr..
Pinchot will visit the islands next sum,

QUARANTINE WHARF.

The request of Supervising Archi-
tect of the Treasury Taylor for "a
change in the appropriation for the
quarantine wharf at Honolulu has yet
received no attention in either House.
OF the original appropriation of $55,-
600, it was provided that $4,000
should be for the gangway. Mr.. Tay-
lor has asked that the amount for the
wharf be reduced to $4,000 and the
amount for the gangway be increased
to $4,000.
"Of course, we are going right on
with the construction of the wharf, -
said Mr.. Taylor, this afternoon. But
we are doing nothing about the con
struction of the gangway, simply wait
ing for Congress to act as it pleases
about increasing the appropriation of
$4,000 to $15,000.'
