"My dear little Lisette," said

to tell you. l have never thought
that you loved mean old man
like me, old enough to be your
fathers father. But i love you,
just as though you might be my
own daughter, and I married you
because l knew that if 1 did not
you would some day run away
with CASTOR or some other foolish
young fellow and live hard life
and taste the realities of existence.
And you are not made for hard

IF only she were a few years old

and had plenty of money, SO that
when the real love came she
would know him and go to meet
him. Then I said to myself:
How can you help her, you old
fellow?' And the answer came to
me: Marry her yourself, but let
her be like your daughter to you,
so that when you are dead she can
inherit all your money and marry
some young fellow whom she
really loves )" He paused. My

FIRST OF FOURTH
REPUBLICAN CLUB

At a well-attended meeting of the
Republican club of the first precinct,
Fourth District; last night it was de-
cided to open club headquarters for
the entire time from now to the cleo
ton. A store belonging to kaimuh
Mercantile Co, at the end Of the car
line, was accordingly taken for head
quarters and the first important use
to which they will be put is that Of
a central place for enrolment of mem
bers. This was the principal business
done last night, action being taken to
make a new roll
President A. F. Clark reported for
ty-five names on the present roll
which are also on the roll of the Dem
Ocratic club of the precinct. These
will be required, according to the
clubs decision, to renounce that con-
nection or have their names left off
the roll. 1t is understood that the
Democratic club will take similar &C
ton to purge it's roll of voters of dual
allegiance.
An enrolment committee was ap-
pointed, consisting of Daniel Logan,
chairman; Henry J. Freitas, f. A.
Douthitt, Ben Hoilinger and H. L.
Mills.

part Of the campaign is therefore directed
against aI'Sinthc, too.
BY an order from the secretary of agrlrul
turr dated July T. last, ahSinthr is drral'tl
tabooC4l under the food and drugs act. Part
Of that order is here quotc4:
at is generally recognized in countries
which have had experience with the sale and
consumption of absinthc that this beverage is
dangerous to health. ImporationS of ah>nthc
into the United States are prohibited both htA
cause they come from countries which forbid or
restrict it's manufacture or sale and because
these products are in furious to the health OF
III" people of the United States. The secretary
Of agriculture therefore will regard as adulter
ated under the foods and drugs act absinthc
which, on and after October /, 1872. is manu-
featured or offered for sale in the District of
Columbia, or the Territories, or shipped in i'll
tprStatc commerce or offered for importation
into the United States
\ great part of the terrible effect of ''dagO
red" in Hawaii is declared to be due to the mix
ture Of absinthc in the cheap and 'young'
wines After October there ought to be no eX-
cuse for this mixture Absinthe can be kept out
of the territory. This is one step toward driving
out the vileSt form of booze with which law and
order here have to contend.

for each Sunday evening
A. V. GEAR am willing to lay
a wager that the Senate will elect the.
next President of the United States,
as an outcome of the deadlock that
will happen in the electoral college,
The House cannot do it, because it
is the House as at present consti.
tuted, not the one to be. elected this
year, and the House is evenly divid-
ed by States, % to %, with four
States each evenly divided between
Republicans and Democrats in repre-
sentation, so that as each State has
only one vote when it comes to elect
ing the President, there will be a
deadlock also in the House. Then it
will be up to the Senate to elect the
Vice-PreSident, who will become
President of the United States to
till the vacancy in that office accord
ing to the Constitution. The present
Senate is Republican and will elect
Taft.

CHINA'S DlSGONTENT

Cable reports of the internal strife develop
in China may be exaggerated, but there is no
question of growing discomfort under the iron
rule of Gen. Yuan Shih-Kai and growing de-
mand on the part of the new republics leaders
that the president shall step out of office
Yuan Shih-Kai is a great military Strate-
gist,T-great, at least, in his limited circle of
activity; he is considerable of a statesman and
as an administrator of a well-Ordered govern
ment he would probably have success, but he
does not appear to be the man needed to bring
struggling China out Of her present position.
The republic was founded on ideals of social
and economic freedom as every republic has
been founded 1t was established as a rebellion
against the domination of the Manchus, their
greed, their selfish governments; their Corrup-
ton and indifference to modern progress. How
could it be expected that man who, say his
enemies, exemplifies many of the traits so hated
in the Manchus, could satisfy the hundreds of
thousands of young Chinese who are fighting
for their political and industrial freedom?
Yuan Shih-kai is said by all who know him
to bc devoted to China, but his devotion has
taken the form of stern repression for anything
but his own ideas and aims The failure of the
present administration to finance China in a
period of severe distress, has reflected ON the
president The climax came in his orders for
the execution of Gen. Chang Chen WI, accused
of completely in rebel plot 1t still remains
to be seen whether this rebel plot was a revolt
by ambitious malcOntents against the young re-
public or a protest against Yuan Shih-kai, 5
merciless methods of administration.

BUILD THE ARMORY FOR
COMFORT

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-I think the superintendent Of
public works should be heartily
thanked for refusing to approve the
plans for the arfnory as submitted by
Col, Jones and the architect. . 1t is too
often the case I'll planning for build
ings here that the fact that this is a
warm, tropical climate is not taken
into consideration. Let one go to the
opera house of d warm evening, or to
the Bishop hall at Punahou college
and sit through an evenings enter
tainment if he wants to know what
sweat-box- is like. 1t would be the
height of folly to make a public hall
in the center of a building surround
ed on all sides or three sides by closed
rooms. Public comfort should be con-
sidered in this structure, and it is to
be hoped that that part of the building
to be used either as a public hall or
a drillroom, should be open on all
sides if possible; three sides anyway.
This is tropical country, colonel, and
give us fresh air-nOt a

DRESSING UP OUR DIPLOMATS

Americans are not greatly interested, as
rule, in what sort Of garb their official repre-
sentatives see fit to clOthe themselves, but most
Americans resent the idea of ANY garb thai car
res the air either of lackeyship or pomp.
Now comes Hon. John &. \. Leishman, not
long ago an humble citizen of Pittsburg and
seller of steel, who has revived the question of
the proper dress for American diplomats abroad
Rather, he has settled it, so far as he is con-
cerned, for Leishman has desi gned a dress for
himself and his secrctarial staff that is glitter
ingly impressive with gold braid and plumed
hats
1t is an old story that the first American dip
lematic uniform was that of an American am
bassadOr at st. Petersburg who protested that
he was tired of being mistaken for waiter Or
a butler. Nobody believed this man; his anx-
iety to break into the gold,braid class was taken
as evidence of his conversion to European ways
On! the other hand Uncle Sams millions of peo-
pie felt a chesty swell of pride when another
diplomat declared that an American needed no
glitter of tinsel and fringed epaulet to secure
recognition from any court, that an ARerlcan
gentlemans dress was his dress! And the
thought of plain American gentleman, dign-
fled and at ease in his suit of sober black, amid
the gorgeous foppery of European courts, has
doubtless been a cheering one to many poor
American youth.
Hon. Mr.. Leishman may please himself With
his incursion into the realm Of personal adorn
ment, but it is not typical of his nation, and let
us sincerely hope it never will be. America has
never needed pomp and display, nor does our
country, for this reason, fail to bear it's part in
the court of nations.

An investment in political alarm clocks

There are many conflicting issues in the cam

bad candidates.
There will be as candidates businessmen Fof

NOT IN HULA DANCE.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletln,
Sir:-In justice to my sister, MISS
O. X. Franco, who was a passenger
to San Francisco by the last Sierra
| wish to say that, according TO letters
received here from her and other pas,
sengers, the article which appeared
in the morning paper on the l9tn
inst, headed, Hula Hula Costumes
Startle Passengers" copied from a
San Francisco paper, was erroneous
ly reported. Miss Franco did not ap-
pear as hula girl at any social
function held on the Sierra.
The falsity Of the article IN queS-
ton constitutes a wrong and an IN
Justice against Miss Franco and her
comrades. Publicity Of this nature
should never be permitted without
word of contradiction by the steam
er's officers, for, unless facts are
told, the names of passengers may
easily be smirched by such stories,
even though they are, in most cases,
told as jokes. Thanking you for
space, | am truly yours,
MARY F. CASTRO.
