FOR FREE SUGAR
WOULD LEAVE DE-
MOCRATIC PARTY IF IT TOOK
DOWN THE TARIFF.

A big meeting of Democrats was held
Saturday night at Emma square, Nc
Clanahan being one of the principal
speakers. He spoke of the Cuban is
sue at considerable length. In the
course of his address he also denied
charges that he favored dsfranchise-
ment of Hawaians
Suppose it was the Democratic
party on the mainland through whom
Cuban annexation was to come" he
said. what would be the cry of every
sugar man and every sugar interest in
the Hawaiian Islands then? They would
be on this platform telling you of the
dangers confronting every one of us"
McClanahan said that he, believed in
sugar and the tariff that was on it as
much as any Republican.
IF the Democratic party should ever
take down the tariff on sugar I would
leave the Democratic party" he said,
but l don't think the Democratic party
win ever do that

machine. He said that there were

Thayers address He scored the Coun-
4 ty Attorneys Office for not enforcing
the statute against violations of the
habitual drunkard clause. Although
two arrests under it had been made
several weeks ago not a single prosecu-
ton had been made so far
| Fred Turrill made a speech which
won applause and NJ. S. Silva, who was
a late speaker, took occasion to reply
to some of the arguments made by A.
Lewis, Jr., at the Orpheum debate. He
said that Portuguese had been discrim-
! mated against by plantations, the gov
| eminent and everybody in general,
thereby causing them to leave the ISL
ands in disgust. He prophesied that
many of the 1900 Portuguese immigrants
on the way out here now would soon
/ leave for California unless the present
| land methods were discontinued. 1t
was up to the merchants to keep these
people here, and, therefore the duty of
all to vote for the Democratic candi-
dates whose platform favored the Por-
tuguese and who would legislate in such
manner that they could obtain per-
manent homes.
John Prendergast was the chairman
of the meeting.

practice of charging the usurious rate
of 25 per cent per week on money ad-
vanced to the men.
The colonization schemes of Harvey
and Fern were such as to throw the
Republican attempts into the shade
declared the speaker. Through the or
ders of these bosses the laborers along
the front had been herded together IN
the buildings in the rear of Ahoo's liv-
cry stable, on Vineyard street.

IL Is Quite a Common Thing In New
York City.
Half the people Of New York live
second hand-that Is, they dress Sec
ond hand, furnish their houses second
hand and wear secondhand jewelry.
There are stunning looking young
women who wear nothing but Paris
gowns all the year round. They can
not afford to go to Paris for such cloth
ing, and they won't have anything that
isn't "good style" They dress almost
entirely out Of the secondhand stores
on Sixth and Seventh avenues, where
anything from hat to pair of silk
stockings Is offered for sale at a third
its original value. They would rather
appear q trIfle shabby and very efrec-
tive than brand new and SLOPPY"
One woman noted for her good
style" and richness Of apparel buys all
her frocks at secondhand establish
ment and then has them dyed black to
make them look new. A little bride
who hates that new look which the
average bridal suit possesses fitted out
her entire apartment through adver-
tisements Of sales Of secondhand fur
niture by private parties. Everything
from her sideboard to her rugs looks
like family heirloom. There are many
articles published in the papers and
magazines on How to Live Well on
Nothing a Year." but the New Yorker
could write whole volume on How
