Editorial Gossip

''Ee Messiah

We accepted the editorial courtesles
of President Pihlblad of Bethany Col
lege and took in that grand musical
feast, '"The Messiah" which is rendered
annually by the college and the city OF
Lindsborg. The messiah" concert
was by all odds the first musical con-
cert we have ever had the pleasure of
listening to and the recitals by the
Bethany teachers were more than COM
monty good.
In only two things were we disap-
pointed: We failed to note where Ma
dame Langendorff, the opera singer
from New York City, exceeded Beth
any's own talent in the vocal line, but
probably it was due to the fact that
the Madame's gorgeous costume failed
to arrive in time and she had to do her
stunt in borrowed dress. This is
enough to sour any woman. The sec
ond thing in which we were disappoint-
ed was the absence of the band music
on Sunday. Bethany has a fine band
and their concerts are always we'll re-
ceiVed.

Denver Convention.

The great National Democratic Con-
vention, to be held in Denver July 7th,
will be exciting and entertaining. There
will be 2,016 delegates and alternates
in the convention. 1,008 votes being
cast when the full strength of the con-
vention is polled, while ten to twenty
thousand other visitors are expected.
The great auditorium, which seats
II, 500 people and has standing room
for l, 900 more, will be completed June
NJ.
The $100, 900 pledged by Denver to
help pay the expenses of the conven-
ton has already been paid in.
From present indications it appears
there will be an exciting contest in the
convention not only for the nominations
for president and vice president but
for the temporary Craftsmanship which
controls the selection of important COM
mitees. The three cornered contest
between W. J. Bryan of Nebraska, John
A. Johnson of Minnesota and George
Gray of Delaware for the presidential
nomination, is said to be without pre-
cedent in the history of the party for
president activity of the adherents of
the rival men.
A monster tiger constructed of pap
ier mache, located at the principal four
cornered of the city, will welcome the
delegates and visitors to Denver when
they come to the convention July z.
This emblem has been selected in
stead of the prosiac donkey as the strip
ed king of the jungle lends himself
still more readily to the purposes of or
namentation A special committee of
citizens is at work devising plans for
the suitable decoration of the city dur
ing the convention. The decision to
erect mammoth figure of tiger at
the junction of Sixteenth street and
Broadway, as the central piece of de-
coration is the first step in the work OF
the committee Thousands of electric
lights will be strung on wires across
the streets and flags and bunting will
be freely used in the decorative scheme.
A special car will run from Hays on
Saturday night, July 4th, direct through
to Colorado Springs. Tickets are good
until Oct. 31st, with stop-over privi-
leges given on all tickets on return
trip. The fare on the special car will
be about $13 so for the round trip to
Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Denver.

An Iowa youth, possessed of more

waited all night in grove holding a

had told him the hole contained a rab-

This was Holy Week.

This was holy week, the week of 81
lerce IN the churches and of preparation
for the resurrection enumeration. Palm
Sunday, the beginning of holy week,
was observed in all of the churches last
Sunday by the distribution of pieces of
palm leaf. The next feast was Holy
Thursday. In Roman Catholic church.
es high mass is celebrated, during
which the priest consecrates the holy
oils for use IN the following year. Af-
ter the mass the blessed sacrament is
exposed and then carried with a pro-
cession of the faithful around the
church and to side altar, where it is
deposited not to be removed until Eas-
ter Sunday.
Next was the most solemn of all the
holy days-Good Friday, the day of the
crucifxion. On this day in all of the
churches the mass of the priest saucti-
tied is said, after which the Passion of
Christ is read.
To-day Holy Saturday the mass of
resurrection is said and during the SER
vices are performed the ceremonies of
blessing the new fire, the holy water,
the Paschal candle and the triple can
die.
Then comes Easter, tomorrow, the
resurrection day. The ceremonies of
the day typify and glorify the resur-
rection of Christ. The crucifx and the
statues, which have been hidden by a
veil of purple since Passion Sunday,
are uncovered and the host is removed
from the side altar to the main altar.
The bells, which have been silent for
the week, are rung again and the
church declares to the world that His
words are fulfilled

Where to get shaved with ease and

I live to shave, 1 do indeed,
And shave the face without making it

I use good razors and the best perfume
And no dirty towels are in my room.

CHINESE WILL
BOYCOTT
BACK

The Chinese fish dealers have made
the Japanese fishermen, IL the threat
ened action materializes, with boycott
AS stated in this paper some time ago
the Japanese fishermen are planning
to drive the Chinese fish vendors out
of business and handle the whole fish
business OF Honolulu themselves, from
the catching of the fish to the selling
of the same and the delivery thereof
to the customer.
Japanese capitalists are said to have
been interested in scheme to erect
a new fishmarket where only Japanese
will be behind the counters, and to
refuse to supply the present Chinese
fish vendors with any more Japanese
caught fish.
The views of the Chinese in the mat.
ter are we'll expressed by the following
statement made by leading member
of the fishmarket hui, yesterday:
'The Japanese can't afford to boy
colt us because If they did so and
saved their ten per cent. commission
which we charge for selling their fish.
we would stop getting our supplies
from the Japanese and the loss to
them would be many times greater
than would be the loss which we would
sustain.
ION an average we sell $500 worth
of fish every day and our expenses
are quite considerable for we have to
pay stall rent, labor, ii leaves, wrap
ping paper and chow for the help. All
of this costs money.
THE Chinese buy from the Japanese
pigs, canned goods, sauce. cloth,
clothes straw hats, dried sea foods,
womens washable goods, vegetables
and many other things. Also we go
to the Japanese BARRIERS to get shaved.
The Japaneses are more interested in
us from a monetary standpoint then
we are in them.
"Chinamen also use great deal of
Japanese labor. AS to the, talk about
cheating, that is only an excuse for
the Japanese to go to work and boy
colt us.
1.-THE Japanese can't run fishmar-
ket A long time ago ten Japanese
took stalls in the old Government fish,
-ssarket and soon had to quit the busi-
ness because they didn't know how TO
sell the fish.
1--WE don't want to make trouble but
If the Japanese trouble us we shall
trouble them much more. The Tatsu
Maru boycott was over a paltry in
demnity of 100000 and already China's
boycott of Japan has cost that coun-
try millions"

| votes. He was the first and only Dem.
ocrat to hold the Office of President
since the war. He was again the
Democratic nominee in 1888, but was
defeated by Benz. Harrison, Republi-
can. He returned to his law practise
opening offices in New York city. Ir
1892 he was again elected President on
| the Democratic ticket, defeating Pres
ident Harrison. In 1896, the Demo-
cratic party having declared for silver
in its national platform, Mr.. Cleveland
withheld his support from the ticket
and platform. This was the first
Bryan campaign.

White House he took up his residence
in Princeton, N. j. He was elected a

Cleveland's first message to Congress
recommended a reduction of the tariff
and extension OF the civil service re-
form regulation of presidential success
sion, and the settlement of the fish
cries dispute with Great Britain. His
removals from non-political office were
less sweeping than those since Pres
ident Jackson; of 9S7 bills passed by
Congress up to August, 1886, he vetoed
102, chiefly private bills. He won
sharp contest with the Senate over sus-
pensions and nominations; and devoted
his 1887 message entirely to the exist
ing tariff, denouncing 1t as vicious and
unnecessary, and demanding the
abolition of duties on raw materials.
When reelected in 1892, he took office
in 1893 In the midst of threatening cur
rency and financial conditions. His in
augural speech declared that $50 far
as the executive branch of the govern
ment can intervene, none of the pow
ers with which it is invested will be
withheld when their exercise is deemed
necessary to maintain our national
credit or avert financial disaster" Ac-
cordlngly he forced the repeal of the
Sherman Silver Purchase Act, killed
the bill for coming the seigniorage,
the treasury BOlu reserve
by the successive issue of government
bonds, and saved its credit throughout
the world, despite furious opposition
by large sections of his own and the
Republican party favoring the free
coinage of silver. He repudiated the
Hawaiian annexation treaty made by
President Harrison. enforced the neu-
trality laws during the troubles in
Cuba, while firmly supporting Amer
lean interests there, and compelled
Great Britain to arbitrate her dispute |
with Venezuela. During the Chicago |

TO QUARANTINE
IMPORTED STOCK
trrom rhursday.s AdvertIserl

(From Thursdays Advertiser)
AT meeting of the Board of Agri-
culture and Forestry held yesterday
afternoon, the following were present:
Chairman c.. S. Holloway. w. NJ. Gift
fard, a. Warehouse, George r. Car
ter. D. p. r. 1senberg, d. Haughs. j.
Kotinsky.
on motion of Carter, 1t was de-
cided that until conditions are better
in California the board establish q
quarantine of twenty-one days on all
live stock imported from that State,
same to take effect Immediately after
the date of shipment. and to apply TO
all ports of entry: and that such i'm
portation be confined to those ports
which possess the necessary convent
ences for quarantine.
The action of the board was taken
on account of the prevalence of CLAN
ders In California. Notwithstanding
the great precautions which have been
taken, cases of the disease have crept
in here and the danger to local live
stock arising from the unsatisfactory
state of affairs in California is very
great and calls for radical action on
the part of the local authorities.
George r. Carter expressed himself
as in favor of going to even greater
extremes and prohibiting the importa-
ton of live stock from California al
together. One State could quarantine
against another without violating any
interstate law. He thought that
risk would be run even by driving
stock through town to the place of
quarantine.
The effect of the motion will be the
speedy establishment of quarantine
stations in Hilo and Kahului. The
expense of quarantine will have to be
borne by the importers.
Carter spoke of the apparent indif-
ference of the infected State to the
serious situation which confronted 1t
and said that through 1t local live
stock interests were being jeopardized.
Self-protection was the first law of
nature. Unfortunately, the greater
part of stock brought here passed
through California, and this was the
principal reason of his modified mo-
ton.
1t was further moved that COM
munication outlining the action of the
Governor Frear, with the request that
he forward same to the Governor of
California.
The good work of Brother Matthias
Newell of Hilo, along the line of in
spection and quarantine, was warmly
commended, and 1t was decided to
leave the matter of a more adequate
recognition of his services to the f.
nance committee.
On the motion of Isenberg, 1t was
decided that in future the board meet
on the first and third Wednesdays Of
the month, in order to prevent conges-
ton of business and to enable the
members of the board to arrange their
business so that they might attend the
without unnecessary conflict
with their other interests.
The meeting adjourned till wednes-
day next.
