Ten thousand people today left
home, school, office, shop, store or 9TH
er place of business or pleasure to
participate in the observance of the
celebration of the centenary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln.
There have been greater parades and
larger crowds in Honolulu turnouts,
but it is doubtful if ever more sig
nificant gathering of military forces
was seen in this city.
There was something to see here
today that had never been seen be-
fore.
The people seemed to know that
something unusual was coming. The
crowd appeared to feel that today was
a day such as had never before been
celebrated.
1t was not alone the Territory's and
the city's observance of the centen-
nial anniversary of the birth of one
Of the greatest Americans, concerning
whom the children have been taught
in the public schools; it was not alone
the mere proposition of an opportun-
ity to see parade, a procession, an
aggregation of mounted and march
ing soldiery, school cadets, police and
fire paraphernalia, but it was some
thing more, it was the realization of
the fact that today marks the first
opportunity for the showing of some
thing of the considerable force tha
has already been given to this isl

For the foreign elements which help

not unconscious of the lesson convey
cd by the exhibition of confident
strength shown in the move of the
Fifth Cavalry and the swing of the
Twentieth Infantry, combined with
the march of the National Guard and
the promise of developing martial spi-
rit in the boys of the Kamehameha
and st Louis schools and colleges.
The hour of the start of the par
ade was a little early, perhaps, 8
o'clock, and some folks who would
otherwise have turned out were not
able to get a glimpse of the parade,
for these things usually start about
10 O'Clock. But there was sufficient
of the populace on the streets to see
and to go home and tell those who
did not see all about the inspiration

If almost certain plans carry, the
Metropolitan Meat ,Companys King
street market will soon be thing of
the past, at least in so far as the sale
of meats by retail is concerned.
The meat business of Honolulu will
thereafter be in the hands of the Gra-
ziers Association and retailers under
the control of that organization.
This change in the meat market
plans is being brought about by the
graziers, on the one hand, who are dis
satisfied with the way the business of
the Metropolitan Meat Company has
panned out; and the graziers are being
met half way by the non -grazier stock
holders, who are themselves dissatis-
fed and willing to draw out or to sup
port any other business plan that may
ensure better show of dividends.

graziers of Hawaii island. They have
had a kick coming for more than two
years, and the annual report of June
last on the business of the Metropolitan
Meat Company got them up in arms.
This report showed a loss at the King
street market alone of nearly $4,000
for the year, and a further loss at the
Beretania street market of nearly ST.
600. Although the slaughter house had
paid and there had been a good profit
in the sale of by-products, the loss in
the two markets mentioned had been
so great as to swamp the total profits.
The first idea of the graziers was to
pull away from the Metropolitan Meat
Company and start out independently.
This was met by the non-graziers with
a proposal to sell out to the graziers,

Until he leaves for his summer home

will be u. mighty busy man.

tariff hil and the President will get

Will meet the ideas Of what the country
demands. HI has taken tic firm posi-
ton in public speeches and in private
conversation that the republican party
will have to ill its pledges to the people
OF downward revision of the tariff. The
only way he can AID in bringing that
about is TO exert his great influence upon
Congress at conference time to have low
duties accepted. This will necessitate

many OF the important schedules of the
