this he made the mistake that has
been made by SO many senators and
congressman of this day, who say they
oppose protection, but vote for pro-

states, thereby placing themselves In
the position of not being able to sue

demand of those in other states for a
larger share of protection for them

After the election of Andrew Jack

Fought United States Bank.
Jackson's greatest battle was
against the United States bank, which
he declared must either be put out of
business or it would run the govern
ment. Benton led. this fight in the
senate. He brought up the question
in 1881 by submitting resolution to
the effect that it was not expedient to
re-charter the bank The war against
the bank ragged fiercely for years. 1t

tanned the support of a number of
members of congress, as was shown
later by investigation, through what
amounted to brazen bribery in the
way of favoritism on loans In the

was triumphantly reelected. Shortly
after this Jackson made an order with
drawing the public funds from the
bank. This precipitafed tremendous
public uproar and the senate adopted
resolution censuring jackson for
the act Benton Immediately began a
fight to expunge this resolution from
the record, and finally, in the last days
Of the Jackson administration, the mo-
ton prevailed amidst great excitement
and the resolution of censure was ex-
plunged by having black border
drawn around it and across it's face
the words: "Expunged by order of the
senate, January 16, 1897" Jackson
deeply appreciated the value of Ben

PLAYS BY REQUEST.

Never before have the people Of Ho-
nolulu been so well pleased with the
shows that are being put on at the Or
pheum now. So popular has Allen
Doone and Miss Kelley become that
they are requested as to what play
they shall be seen in.
Last night "A Bold Gasson" was
witnessed by large audience and fully
appreciated. Besides being a sweet
singer Mr.. Doone is also clever ac-
tor. During the quarreling scene in
which Mr. Stead also took part, so ma
tural was their acting that people in
audience became uneasy and wanted
to know OF each other if they were in
earnest. To nightMr. Doone and Miss
Kelley will be seen in, "A Kerry Court
ship" byl request. In addition to that
the Golden Co. will render the first act
of The Mexican German" a comedy
farce in which Mr.. Golden never fails
to bring down the house. Also vau-
deville stunts by different members Of
the company.

HILL CLIMBING

Motorcyclists of the city have for
some time been figuring upon a plan
for what may be called hill-climbing
contests, and had it not been for the
long period of rainy weather. some
thing would probably have been shap-
ed up for floral parade day. At pre-
sent the matter is hanging fire, await
ing a return to good weather and or
good roads.
Just where these races will be
brought off has not been decided al
though there are several suitable
stretches in the outskirts of the city.
The events will be the severest kind
of tests, both as to endurance of ma
chimes and riders and speed of motor
cycles under the worst of conditions
The last meet of motorcyclists at
Kapiolani park track was very sue
cessful, despite the fact that there
were few entries.

BASEBALL TO Be
OFFERED FLEET

Colonel j. w. Jones, acknowledgement
and Captain Campbell are acting as a
committee to arrange a series of base
ball meets between the Pacific fleet
and the local Military Athletic Asso-
citation, to take place while the ships
are in port after February l. Inas-
much as the fleet will be here only ten
days, no sports other than baseball
will be planned.
When the fleet was here a few
months ago, numerous games were
played between teams of the different
ships and a few with town teams. The
ships players were well organized and
proved hard to handle on the field.
Lieutenant Holmes, who is one of the
heads of baseball matters on the ships,
stated when here that he hoped for
real meeting with Honolulu ball toss
ers on the return from the Orient.
A meeting of the active men Of the
M. A. A. will be held at the bungalow
on Friday evening at which the whole
situation will be gone over and arran-
gements made to meet the fleet play
ers. One of the matters to be decided
at once is that of ghounds. Athletic
park is wet, Atkinson park has no
accommodations for visitors and the
baseball park is far away. All are
good places save for these handicaps.

The late Samuel Barton, nephew OF
Commodore Vanderbilt and the broker
through whom the commodore did
much of his business, was veritable
treasure house of Vanderbilt anec-
dotes; and for this hitherto unpub-
lishcd one of how the commodore came
by his clutching hands 1 have Mt.
Barton as my authority.
There was one personal popularity
about the commodore which all of us
who were in close association with
him from the time he began his rail-
way career noticed and often spoke
to one another about" said Mr.. Bar
ton. This was the way in which he
held his hands, the fingers and thumbs
of each being SO extended and curved
that they constantly seemed to be
about to grasp something,
This popularity was not duo to any
stiffness or rheumatic trouble, as we
all knew, for the commodorc's fingers
were very elastic and strong, and so
there came to be a general impress
sion among his daily associateS-even
among his closest friends, in fact-that
this sort Of clutching. grasplng way
of holding his hands revealed to the
world the avariclous or greedy nature
OF the commodore. This view was
strengthened by the belief on the part
OF many persons that the desire to get
hold of something to keep 1t was the
ruling passion OF the commodore's life
Il knew better knew that he
cared for money principally because of
Its power and the sense of achievement
that 1t gave, but L must confess that
the commodore's clutching hands puz-
zled me greatly, though whenever 1
heard anyone say that they reflected
his avaricious nature 1 felt sure that
the speaker was mistaken.
We'll. one day the commodore was
