RESIDENT McKINLEY'S Iletter, published on Monday and reviewed in a general way yesterday, should be carefully studied by It will suffice the Re- P every voter in the country. publican party for whatever educational docu- ments the voters may need in this campaign. It deals with every political issue of the time d illumines them all. There is not a problem ignored, nor a single attempt to evade any of ‘their cemplexities. Every declaration is fair, honest, manly and statesmanlike. The letter will rank among the | ablest of our Presidential state papers and will be read | | | | | issme is presented. Iy now but hereafter for its lucid statements of the issues at stake in this contest. The President begins by directing attention to th fact that, despite the efforts of the opposition to shiit the controversy from its natural ground, the chief issue of the time is the preservation of our financial integrity, industrial prosperity and established peace and order. He reminds the country'that the op- not on 1d | ponents of the gold standard have renewed the strug- He quotes the declarations of | gle for its overthrow. the three silver parties reasserting the policies they lvocated four years ago. “Thus,” he says, “the It will be noted that the demand is for the immediate restoration of the free coingge of silver at 16 to 1.” Then, with a light satiric touch, he adds: “If another issue is paramount, this is imme- diate. It will admit cf no delay and will suffer no postponement.” The letter does not undertake to decide or to discuss i uproarious for three of the | the relative importance of issues, but the people are reminded that one pledge of a platform is as binding as another, that the candidates who have promised to overthrow the gold standard and what they call "a conspiracy against the welfare of the human race,” will be obliged to fulfill the promise should they come 1at the best ornaments of a | into power, and therefore the voters hive to decide : Certain it is that no | whether they will “hazard the overthrow of the wise | feit the right to vote in November. manifests the character of | financial legislation of the past year and revive the danger of the silver standard, with all of the inevitable er of a city is distinguished ,¢vils of shattered confidence and general disaster, which justly alarmed and aroused them in 1806.” Passing from that issue the President rapidly but clearly reviews the henefits which have resulted from the protective tariff and the financial legislation of Congress. These benefits are noted in the expansion of our industries at home and our commerce abroad, in the augmented revenues of the nation and the ad- vanced prosperity of the people of all sections. He notes that, “unless something unforeseen occurs to reduce our revenues or to increase our expenditures, Congress at its next session should reduce taxation very materially.” The one blot upon the otherwise bright record of the country is the fact that 0o per cent of our imports l'and exports are now carried by foreign ships and that we pay annually to foreign ship-owners over $165,000,000. The President recalls that he has re- peatedly urged legisiation designed to upbuild our merchant marine and repeats the declaration: “We shall fail to realize our opportunities if we com- placently regard only matters at home and blind ous- selves to the necessity of securing our share in the valuable carrying trade of the world.” After urging the construction of the Nicaragua Canal, the President takes up the trust problem and points out that some of these combinations of capital “are dangerous conspiracies against the public good and should be made the subject of prohibitory or penal legislation.” He goes on to say, “Honest co- from the boom towns and the cow counties, ye native | operation of capital is necessary to meet new business sons and ye adopted sons, and bring the girls with | conditions and to extend our rapidly increasing for- you San Francisco is yours to count on. eign trade, but conspiracies and combinations in- He permitted Bryan | tended to restrict business, create monopolies and control prites should be effectually restrained.” Such declarations certainly satisfy all that reasonable men ask on the subject and completely refute the assertion of the Bryanites that the Republican party is the sup- porter of trusts. = Coming to what the Kansas City platform calls “the paramount issue,” the President revidws what has been done for Porto Rico and gives an able sum- mary of the events leading up to the present situation in the Philippines. Upon that issue.he says: “Are our opponents against the treaty? If so, they must be reminded that it could not have been ratified in the Senate but for their assistance. The Senate which ratified the treaty and the Congress which added its sanction by a large appropriation comprised Senators and Representatives of the people of all parties.” Furthermore the President says: “There is a strain of ill-concealed hypocrisy in the anxiety to extend the constitutional guarantees to the people of the Philip- pines, while their nullification_is openly advocated at home. Our opponents may distrust themselves, but they have no right to discredit the good faith of the hjority of the peopl: who are opposed to them.” Such are the salient features of the paper. The document is one that will be continually under review and discussion throughout the campaign. It can and | will stand every test that may be applied to it by honest minds. It gives a bold challenge to the three silver and calamity pdrties that have united Bryan's leadership and presents to the voters of the country a frank and full statement of the grounds upon which the Republican party asks their suffrages in the coming election. | THE MAINE ELECTION. AINE by her vote on Monday has confirmed and emphasizad the lesson taught by the vote ! /V\ of Vermont last week. The Republicans have | carried the State and elected every Congressman by an overwhelming majority. The Legislature will be very nigh solidly Republican, and the re-election of Senator Frye is assured. Thus on the surface everything is encouraging. [t is to be noted, however, that the Republican vote is less than it was four years ago and the Democratic vote has increased. A similar state of things oc- curred in Vermont, with this curious difference—in Vermont the Democratic gain was less than the Re- publican loss, while in Maine it is greater. Such per- centages of loss and gain have no effect upon the strong Republican majorities in those two States, but if anything like an equal change in the voting takes place in the close States the re-election of McKinley will be by a narrow margin. It can hardly be necessary to point out to intelli- gent men that there is an important lesson to be drawn from the Maine and the Vermont vote. of which we have heard so much in reports from the East, has shown itself in the voting of those States. Why should there be any falling off from the Repub- | lican vote of four years ago? The Bryanite menace to the welfare of the country is as serious now as then: indeed it is even more dangerous, for it is now cloaked and disguised and will deceive many people. Therefore it behooves Republicans to be more ale-t than ever. They cannot afford at this time to taks | chances in any State or in any Congressional dis- trict. | Four years ago in a speech at Knoxville Bryan | said: “If there is any one who believes the gold stan- | dard is a good thing, or that it must be maintained, I warn him net to cast his vote for me, because T promise him ‘it will not be maintained in this coun- try longer than I am able to get rid of it.” Such was | the declaration, and though Bryan has dodged the money isstie to some extent in this campaign, he has not recanted that utterance nor said anything that can give a believer in the gold standard the slightest ex- cuse for voting for him. | - California Republicans should study the Maine and the Vermont vote carefully. They will perceive that | the feeling of overconfidence which was indulged | there without harm cannot be risked in this State. We have no normal Republican majorities of from | | 25,000 to 30,000 votes to rely upon. In California | every vote will be needed. Tt is true that all signs | give reasons for an unshaken belief in the triumphant | re-election of McKinley, but if the victory is to be | as sweeping as was that of four years ago, the Repub- licans will have to put more energy in the campaign than they have done up to this time. | T L R T NOW FOR REGISTRATION. E have completed the three days’ celebration W of California’s jubilee, and now that the glorious interlude is over we return to politics. . Tt is high time for the people of this city to give se- rious consideration to their public duties. The first thing to be done is to see to it that every good citizen registers. The bosses will be sure to get the names energy should be shown by the better elements of the community. Those who have not yet registered should do so at once, and those who have should urge their friends to attend to the duty. It is to be borne in mind that a wholly new regis- tration is required this year. Those who have not registered since last January and fail to register be- fore the expiration of the time fixed by law will for- Registrar Walsh | has provided every facility for registration, so that | the performance of the duty will entail no inconve- nience if it be promptly attended to. In the closing days, however, there is sure to be a rush. The total registration up to last Friday evening was 48,031, and it is estimated that the total regis- tration will be about 72,000, consequently there re- | main 24,000 names to be registered between now and September 26, when registration will cease. It will | be seen there is no time to spare. Get your name on | the register, or you will have no vote on election day, 2nd the fault will be your own. The saying that Bryan is unlike Buffalo Bill be- cause Buffalo Bill has a show will no longer go with- out challenge. Bryan has a show, too, and, like that of Buffalo Bill, it is of the circus variety. Buffalo Bill, however, demands good money for his, while Bryan will take any old thing. Republicans may be sure of victory this year if they will work, but if many stay at home and leave the work to others there will be a surprise party for the sluggards on election day. The young man who wishes to have a future in politics will have to join the Republican.party this year, for it is the only party now in the country that has a future worth sharing. Dispatches from China announce that Chaffee “has the situation well in hand,” so it would appear that Chaffee has taken Otis’ typewriter with him. The Democrats apopear to be most happily situated in this ul.npaigu. They are against everything which the American people want. under | That | apathy in the Republican ranks due to overconfidence, | of all their touts and toughs on the roll and an equal. LILIUDRALANS G000 EXAMPLE TO HAWNIANS Remains Seated When “Ha—l waii Ponoi” Is Played in Her Honor. Rises to Her Feet and Remains Stand- ing During a Rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” BY HORACE WRIGHT HONOLULU, Sept. 4.—Sunday was the sixty-second anniversary of the birth of Liliuckalani, the former Queen of these | Islands. Early in the morning she was | serenaded by the government band and | Hawaiian boys, who played and sang sev- eral of her compositions. A notable inci- dent in connection with the former sub- | jects of the ex-Quéen—and one which 13 ! very suggestive for political reasons | owing to the indiscreet vaporings of un- | Intelligent followers of hers—was that | while she decljned to rise from her chair | while “Hawaif Ponoi,” the former nation- | al anthem, was played, she set the exam- ple by rising when Captain Berger played the “Star-Spangled Banner.” This lesson will not be lost upon her people. Later on the ex-Queen attended and commu catedat the services of St. Andrew’s Epls- | copal Cathedral. | On Saturday the primaries of the Re- | publicans were held on Oahu and over | 1600 votes were polled by the precinct | clubs out of a membership of about dou- | ble that number, a_very fair proportion of whom are native born Hawaiians. The object was to elect permanent officers and | delegates to the aistrict convention on the | 6th and Tth. 1t is generally conceded that Colonel Sam Parker stands thc best | chance of being selected as delegate to | Cangress by the convention, as it is an | open secret that the administration at Washington desires a native born Ha- walian of character and wealth to occupy | that position. The numerous candidates in the field on the Democratic and Inde- pendent Hawalian side precludes the elec- | tion of their man if Colonel Parker ob- | tains the nomination. J.

She brings into port the usual catch of the seal island hunters, but on this occasion it falls a little short of for- mer years. The Homer brings home 22 470 seal skins, valued at $300,000: 18 barrels of blue and white fox skins, valued at $18,000, | and from Dutch Harbor 36 barrels of fu that were left there by the company's whalers. ! Captain Donaldson reports that the ship Jabez Howes left Dutch Harbor on Au- gust 31 and that the bark Undaunted left Nuchagak on August 27. The Homer brings along the remains of J. M. Mor- ton. The facts pertaining to his death have aiready been published in The Call. Trouble on the Lawton. ° The United States transport Lawton, which was to have salled at noon for Nome, wis detained in the stream yester- | day over a little trouble in the steward's department. During inspection some of the rooms in the forecastle were found to be in an untidy condition. The chief steward was called to account, and he ex- | plained that the men were changing quar- | ters and that therefore the untidy_ condi- tion of the rooms was excusable. The in- | spector did not think so, and the result was that the Lawton had to tie,up in the | stream until a new steward was got aboard. The old steward came ashore in one of Peterson’s launches. All his men would have followed him, but they were not given a chance to get over the side, At the last moment a telegram was sent | aboard the Lawton instructing Captain | Magune to take a pilot at Port Angeles and go direct from there to Nome. rom the gold fields the vessel will bring back a load of stranded miners to San Fran- cisco. | Battleship Iowa Moves. | The Iowa went back to her old anchor- 2ge off the Unlon Iron Works yesterday. hile dropping down the bay ‘she came within a few hundred feet of the sunken | ship May Flint.
