would be controlled by Mr.. Kinney.
mo truth in that statement" was Mr..
Harvey's laconic answer to the charge.
JOHN EMMELUTH.
John Emmeluth said the disfran-
chisement DOGGY spread by certain Re-
publicans was a farce. 1t couldn't be
done anyway. Even if Congress should
ever pass such q bill, the Supreme
Court of the United States would
knock it out as being unconstitutional
and contrary to the Fifteenth Amend
ment.
It's up to you to say whether you
want to carry the Republican elephant
on your back said Mr.. EmmeIuth,
cor ride the elephant yourself"
Mr.. Emmeluth attacked the present
system of taxation in Hawaii and ad-
vocated many reforms which he said
would be carried out by the Democrats
If elected to the Legislature.
WILLIAM JARRETT.
William Jarrett said that if elected
he and Sheriff Iaukea would put a
stop to the way things are being al
lowed to run today by the police de-
partment. He said there was power
vested in the Sheriff and Deputy Sher-
if to restrict many of the evils now
prevalent in the community and they
would make use Of it to the full extent
of the law.
R. H. TRENT.
r. II. Trent said he knew he was
talking to good people because good
people attended the Democratic meet
ings, and because the Democrats were
conducting a good, clean, honest cam
paign. He said that he was glad to
have been able throughout his admin
istration as County Treasurer to pay
the laborers off in cash without any
discount on their warrants. This had
made the Republicans sore and they
were trying to claim credit for this
benefit. Even Bicknell, the Republi-
can Auditor and candidate for reelec-
ton, had said on the stump that he
(TrenD had to pay 100 cents on a dol
lar, as he (BicknelD drew the war
rants for 100 cents on a dollar.
Mr.. Trent laughed at this argu-
ment of BicknelPs. The cash arrange
ment was perfected through Mr.. Trent,
not the auditor. The Territorial Treas
urer, Republican, had tried to get the
Territory on a cash basis and pay out
100 cents on a dollar, but had failed.
Mr. Trent repeated some brief SEN
fences in the Hawaiian language, much
to the delight of the audience. He said
he hoped soon to be able to tell some
shark stories like his opponent, but in
the Hawaiian language.
Mr.. Puahi said that the Republicans
were holding out certain promises
which were false bait to the voters
They were angling for votes as If the
Kawaiians were fishes. She warned
the Hawaiians against being suckers.
She characterized the Republican
methods as a lying campaign, and next
it would be thieving campaign and
finally a robbers campaign.

LEADER KINNEY.

w A Kinney spoke in Hawaiian
some of the Republican candidates re-
fusing the endorsement of the Civic
Federation. 1.-The endorsement of the
Democratic candidates had not puffed
them up. They are willing to take
votes from angels or devils and they
want them for the straight ticket" He
said the Republicans would have been
glad enough to get the endorsements
of the candidates if other tickets had
not been equally favored. He spoke
of the intention of the Democrats to
have the election law amended SO that
a cross at the head of a ticket would
mean a. vote for all the candidates in
that party. In that way there would
be fewer spoilt tickets and less Birbe-
of Birbe at the last election and the
failure of the Republican administra-
ton to punish him. He assured the
crowd that the statement made by
some of the Republicans to the effect
that Iaukea was the candidate of the
Advertiser, and that he would be led
by the owners of that paper, is false.
He was supported by the Advertiser
because the Republican candidate is
unfit for the office; the paper could not
stand Browns record. "Iaukea," said
ffa off he
honestly believes it should be conduct
ed. The Republican speakers are con-
fusing the voters that hundreds of
tickets will be spoilt and in that way
Brown hopes to be elected. Care mus
be taken by the voters and they should
not be misled" (Applause.)
MCCARTHY AND IAUKEA.
Col. Mccarthy followed Mr.. Kinney
and he was well received. He said he
had mo desire to say anything per
sonaI but he had just heard Repub-
Iican speaker say his party did not ex-
pect to be elected by the haole vote
Of the Fourth District-that would be
split-but by the HaWallahs, because
the Republican party had always been
their friend" Mr. Mccarthy referred
to the fact that it was the representa-
tive of that party in Hawaii, John l..
Stevens. who had assisted in taking
avyav the country from them and there
fore could not be considered much of
q friend. He spoke of an amended
election law and described the Austria
liam method. adding that the Democrats
might not be benefited by it, but the
deal would be a square one. The bal
,o+ is he voice of the people, he sald,
..h,,+ # has been drowned by the spollt
ballots that have been discarded" Col.
Mccarthy closed by reciting the career
of Col. Iaukea from the time he enter
cd the Service of the monarchy. as See
retarv of the Foreign Office to his posi-
ito, as Commissioner of Crown Lands.
..Ard ne served we'll and honestly IN
every capacity. for not dollar that
ever came into his hands was misap-
propriated."

lature will be in a confusion and not

Murray then announced that there
would be a luau on Punchbowl tonight
and that as none of the other speak
ers had turned up the meeting was
over.
CHILLINGWORTH HITS ACHI.
Just then, however, Charley Chilling
worth appeared and was announced.
Chillingworth spoke briefly, reminding
the people of the help w. o. Smith
had been to them when Charley Achi
had tried to rob them over the lots

DEMOCRATS AT PALAMA.

There was an abundance of enthusi
asm at the Democratic meeting in Pa
lama last night, though the crowd was
not large. This latter may be &C
counted for by the fact that in all
Democratic meetings the attendance IS
mainly from residents in the immetli-
ate vicinity. There is no colonization

FRANK HARVEY.

Frank Harvey said he was not on
the stump to throw mud at the OPP
posing party's candidates, but to give
facts. He then brought up the ques
ton of the Royal Hawaiian band, now
reported to be stranded on the main
land. He asked who was to blame
for its pilikia? He charged this to
the County Board of Supervisors for
not requiring bond of Joe Cohen, the
manager of the band
Mr.. Harvey stated that he was
strongly in favor of paying the wage
earners of the county government by
the week instead of every two weeks.
The pay was small enough and the
laborers needed their earnings as soon
as they could get them. Instead of
this they were held off, and often had
to borrow money on which they paid
interest.
The speaker then referred to state
ments made by Republican speakers

The discovery OF platinum was long
thought to be quite modern. In the
first half OF the sixteenth century It
was noticed hat gold ore from the
Spanish mines In Darlen sometimes
Included grains OF u white metal which
possessed the qualities Of what are
called the noble metals, but there were
no existing records to throw light upon
the matter. As the SpanlNrds prohlb-
tied Its export. 1t was another hun
bred years before the metal began to
find its way into Europe, and 1t was
not till about 1850 that its properties
were really investigated. In 1901 NJ.
Berthelot, the famous French savant
made an astonishing discovery In
Egypt. He was examining a metal
box, once the property Of an Egyptian
queen Of the seventh century b. c.,
and In it he found Il plate which at
arst sight he took to be silver, but
aftcrward turned out to be made Of
an alloy OF gold and platinum. Doubt
less the platinum came from the allu.
vial deposits Of the upper Nile.

Drinking Hot water.

There are four classes Of persons
who should not drink large quantities
OF hot water: First, people who have
lrritablllty Of the heart. Hot water
will cause palpitation Of the heart in
such cases. Second, persons with d.
lated stomachs. Third, persons az
ficted with sour stomachs. Fourth,
persons who have soreness OF the stom.
ach or pain induced by light pressure.
These rules are not for those who take
hot water simply to relieve thirst, but
as a means of washing out the stom-
ach. Hot water will relieve thirst bet
ter than cold water and for that pur-
pose is not to be condemned. But hot
water Is an eXcitant and in cases in
which irritation OF the stomach exists
should be avoided.

IN looking over book of travels In
France. written more than 100 years
ago, | came across an interesting bit
about the way Of catching frogs for
market The author mentions the
fact that frogs were sold by the hun
drcd In the markets, that they were
classeI as fish and that only the hind
quarters were eaten. But TO come to
the main point he says ITO catch the
frogs the fisherman puts one Of them
in Il glass vessel, which he dips into
brook on which the creature, finding IT,
self in so strange a situation confined
In the midst Of water In a transparent
machine. or. | may say, invisible prls-
on, begins to croak most melodlously,
and by his croaking makes mulutules
OF other frogs come to him on every
side, as If to rescue their companion,
when the frog fisher vallantly seizes
his prey."-London Chronicle.
