for compensated emancipation that he
had worked out with immense labor.
Over half of his message to that Con-
gress was in support of this PROPOSE
ton. For this measure he pleaded
as he had never done before. He IN
sisted that it would "end the strug-
gle and save the union forever" that
it would cost no blood at all" that
Congress could do it if it would unite
with the executive and that all good
people" if appealed to, would press
forward to support it.
I'VE cannot escape history" he
urged I'VE of this Congress and this
administration will be remembered in
spite of ourselves. No personal sig
nificance or insignificance can spare
one or another of us. The fiery trial
through which we pass will light us
down in honor or dishonor, to the lat
est generation. We say we are for
the union. The world will Aot forget
that we say this. We know how to
save the union. The world knows we
do know how to save it. We-even
we here-hold the power and bear the
responsibility. In giving freedom to
the slave we assure freedom to the
free, honorable alike in what we give
and what we preserve. We shall
nobly save or meanly lose the last
best hope of earth. Other means may
succeed; this could not fail. The way
is plain, peaceful, generous, just-a
way which, if followed, the world viii
ever applaud and God must forever
bless"

COLLAPSE OF REACTIONARY
ORDERS GIVE RUSSIA HOPE

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2.-Hopes
of reform in this country are rising.
owing to the collapse of the Union of
the Nobility in thirty-seven provinces
in Russia proper. The union was
formed by Premier Stolypin and AS
sistant Minister of the Interior Gurko
in 1906, Immediately after the coup
d'etat against the first duma, for the
purpose of maintaining the autocracy
and destroying the constitution. The
principles of the union were support
ed by high military officials, the bu-
reaucracy and the clergy Governors
and ministers were appointed on the
recommendation Of the union.

emancipation that President Lincoln
had made public in September and
that would become effective on the

dodge the responsibility. After he
had read the final draft of the meas

and had announced his determination
to issue it on New Years day, 1868,

There is at present an unorganized
but effective trust in Hawaii Territory
which the Sherman act can not reach.
If a new man opens a store in Homo
lulu and offers to sell for ten cents a
can of tomatoes the price of which in
the other stores is fifteen cents, the
commercial banking, social indus
trial and religious forces of the is
lands will be precipitated against him.

him will be warned by his en-

A chemist who in former years had
transacted business in Honolulu de-
termined to return there. He came
with an extensive stock of drugs and
medicines and rented a store. Then
he encountered law which allowed
mo man to conduct a prescription drug
store without a license, and in order
ito procure a license he had to pass an
examination before a board composed
of rival druggists. 1t was also part
: of the law that in order to obtain a
license he must have resided continu
ously for three years in the Territory
The "malihini," as newcomers are
called, could not meet these require
ments. In despair he committed sui

the goods he had imported, for hal
their cost, from his administrator.

The Ole Hanson meeting at
Moose hall tonight has been
changed to a Bob Hodge rally.
The people of Tacoma, like in
the rest of the state. cannot get
enough of Hodge and the state
committee is simply swamped
with demands to "send Hodge. /"
Hodge spoke to Tacoma theater
full before the primaries, to an
armory full after the SANDER
mongers began their mud sling
ing against him and Moose hall
probably will be entirely made
quate for tonight.
Hodge was coming to Pierce
county for a trip up the valley
this week which made it possible
to get him here for the meeting
already arranged for Ole Hanson.
