Hole Speech. Horace Roles was chosen permanent chairman of the convention and made a ?poch. After reviewing th- condition? leading up to the democratic victory of 1x92 and nrraisrning the republican party for the policy It pursued while in power, ex(Jovernor Hoies continued: "That vi 'tory was " it w 'i without definite and of --repeated promises hy those who claimed to speak f r the party n.s to what would he J.mc if the party success crowned u:r efforts. There is now no middle ground on which it can cast an anchor. Protection, if right in one Instance, is rierlit in ail. He who is willing that his p.t-ty as such shall retrace a single stop from the position it assumed in ISO.', who would surrender an lot of the priiv iple for which he then fought and won, in not a democrat. We are standing at the end of more than three decades nf a most Intense protective policy on the part of the government. And what Is th- result? Trusts and omhinns on every hand, the fruits of la. nor taken from the many and given to a few; millionaires counted by the thousands; homeless men hy the millions; -rumbling f discontent from every quarter, but loudest anil longest in th very -nters of the rno-t hlR-hly-pmte.-teJ Industries of th land; strikes and lock-outs everywhere; armies oj idle men gathered In our eitie are marching over the ooun trv. vaunting thoi'- destitution In the face of the world, with here and there the; howl of th" anarchist, the knife of the assassin and brand of the incendiary emphasizing with (ire and blood a discontent that ha become- almost epidemic, and threatens th stability of the government itself until the last resort of a nation, an appeal to the military arm for protection, hi? been a public net-easily. II Ilencheri ( rlU. "It would be cowardly evasion of truth to attempt to conceal the fact that the democratic party has reached a crisis In Its history that threatens its welfare, If not Its life. Within the party councils 1 want the voice of crimination and recrimination hu-died at once, and I want the democratic members In congress to agree up.-r? the very best measure of tariff reform It. Is possible to pass And make it th law of the land without further delay. If it does come in io the requirements of that pledge as I read It. I will not lay down my aims; I will help to keep the wheels i f reform In motion until all that has ben promised is faithfully performed. This is my view of the duty of democrats in this cri.-ds. Loth In and out of congress. Hy an explicit resolution In lu List national platform the democratic party is committed to 'the use of both gold and s'lver as the standard money of the country,' and to the 'coinage of both without discrimination apainst either," but It Is expressly declared that 'the dollar unit of both metals must be of erjual intrinsic at.d exchangeable value or be adjusted through International agreement or by such safeguards of legislation un will Insure the parity of the two metals.' "To my own mind tha unqualified language of that plank requires affirmative action of the party by which it was adopted. There is another subject which 1 am glad to say is not a political Issue between any of the great parties of the country, of grave Importance to the welfare of the nation. I refer, as you will surmls, to the unprecedented troubles in labor circles during the last few months. I know, too. that every one of these men who is an adult citizen of the United States Is clothed with precisely the same power under the constitutions of th states and the nation to help mold, and cause to be executed, the laws of the land, that Is possessed by the haughtiest millionaire that ever cast a vote, and I believe as firmly as I believe in my existence that If their organizations are to b preserved, and continue to be of the least practical benflt to their members, they must sea that they neither violate the law themselves nor instigate, aid or abet others to do so. With every loyal citizen of the land who Is a loyal friend of its laborers I have been shocked by the flagrant breaches of law that have characterized so many of the recent labor strikes of the country. I am still more amaxed to know that within the circles of some of these unions are men who yet condemn tho authorities, both state and national, for lnterKlng the military arm of each to put an end to conditions that had reached a complete stage of anarchy and overthrown in some localities every semblance of law and order. Sympathy Strikes Must Go. "If these men are not bereft of reason they must by this time realize that 'the strike,' as conducted In many places in the recent past is revolution, is anarchy, ia the Incipient stage of civil war. It is vain to assert that the scenes of riots, Incendiarism and bloodshed we have witnessed are not the work of mtmbers of any of th unions, but Instead that of the lawless elements of the titles In which they have occurred. If this Is literally true It can not relieve the question of responsibility for conditions that their own acts made possible, and which, without such acta, would never have existed. There la another phase of this question of Immeasurable Importance to Individuals. It Is the question of the Inherent right or wrong of what some labor leaders term a 'sympathetic strike,' and was forcibly presented to th Pullman strike. The Hym-patb-Uc strike must go, or the unions

that engage In It will be destroyed, and with It must go forever the scenes of riot and carnage that have characterized so many recent striites; or the organizations responsible for them will be ground Into dust under the Iron heel of an awakened public sentiment." The speaker then devoted his attention to state Issues, charging the republican rarty with misiule and extravagance, and particularly condemning It for Its liquor legislation, which he denounced as disgraceful and ridiculous. He advocated the establishment of county Insarre asylums after the plan adopted In Wisconsin, and declared that the republican party methods of handling state institutions were wildly extravagant. In conclusion ho sail: "It Is. at least, the duty of tha democratic party to continue to labor for better government In state and nation alike; to bo true to Itself; true to Its principles and loyal always to the best interests, the highest possible pood of the people of whom it forms so conspicuous a part." The IMatforni. The resolutions adopted reaffirm the platform of the national democratic convention of 1SP2. and demand of democratic representatives In congress tnat they carry out ihe same In good faith "by giving us a tariff law that will lay the duties on Imports for revenue alone, and thereby destroy trusts, combines and organizations that have been robbing the people and depleting the treasury of the nation; that has destroyed our commerce with the world at large; driven our ships from the high seas; that' has filled our country to overflowing with the pauper labor of Europe; thac has bred anarchy, confusie n, unrest and disloyalty throughout the land; made war between capital and labor; that has sowed the seed of war and rebellion among the people and has brought ruin t) the business Interests of the country and want to millions of our people who seek to earn an honest living by Industry. Again we say to our congress, redeem th pledges made to the people and for all time make an end of paternal anil class legislation. "We recommend thn administration of President Cleveland for the ability, wisdom aril patriotism shown in tl-Miing with matters of public interest. In the treatment of gr-it i ublie questions it has be. -a milked by a comprehensive understanding of the necessities of the people and a sincere desire to. as far as pract! -able, jiie-'t every just and proper dein in 1. We (-p'Llafy approve of th-? pie.r.t auminlstrati .n In its efforts to reduce the expenditure of the government, for th" lopping off miny tMcl.'s.-. oilR-e-hoMeis; for its thru and wise p '.U y toward the otV-r natl n and countri of the wor d.

His letter to Kepre-s'-nt.itive WIl. mi is a. manly, outspoken document and mets our most lu-irty ;ppruva:, and we ( .denm any and ail eff .ls made to impel ' the piss it; of l eal tariff reform." The present unfortunate f.r-ancial stringency and Its disastrous effect upo: labor is credited as th- direct legacy of a republican administr it ion, and the attempts to shift the responsibility upoi. the democrat!, administration ' are denounced as futile and absurd. The financial plank is as f .llov.s: "With the national d-mocraMc convention of IKC we hold to the use of both g. Id and silver as th.- standard money of the country and the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating ag.ilrst ither metal or charge for rilntafe, but the d )jv unit of coia.i . f both mi. fa Is mu-t b' of equal i ri 1 1 i i.i and exchangeable value, tind demand that all paper currency hall be k.-pt at par with and redeemable in such cin. And we favor such legis!ation as will faithfully cany out these pledges to th? people." The resolution demand suh nii in national Illation ns will aulh rho the election of United States senitors by direct vote of the people. Just and liberal pen.-dans to I r-s-rving veterans are favored. The platf rm c ndernns the deceptive republican legislation known as "the mulct law" si hypocritical; legalizing the sale :md at the sum-- time prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquors within the state; discriminating as to the will of tho majority In cities and rural commuu'.tleo, and suspending the oporuti n of a penal statute f-ir h money consideration. "We favr th. rrpeal of th? present prohibitory law. an 1 the democratic pirty of Iowa s till r.dhere to its position thnt In the Interest of true tempern m e lloen.se, with local option in t nvn.hip. Incorporated towns ami cities Is the bn solution of the liqu-.r question. uid In such local option there should be no requirement that more than a majority of voters shall be necessary to p th" traftlc under the control of law and police regulations In municipalities." It Is dmand.-d that state Institutions tie left to the management of a sIiiec-non-partisan board of control; tint the trustet system he abolished. Tlr platform denounces as un-American anv society orginlzatlon that Is plcdRetJ t, deprive any citizen of his rlirht to vote or hoM office on account of his n liglous beliefs or -nationality. The minority report was ax follows: "We favor bimetallism and the tis.- nf lxth gold and sliver as the standard money of the country, and of the coinage of both gold and sliver, without discriminating against either metal. We also, demand such legislation and such action oil the part of our government as will increase the coinage of silver an1 maintain it equal In value to gold.

II Ftates that the refusal of the committee to indorse the plan of the sub-committee for a reorganization of the party has nothing to do with hits actions. "That is a matter upon which loval members of the party might honestly differ," "he said, , "and I could say nothing against thir action In rejecting that, but when a packed oommitte? declined to Indorse the president in his attempt to uphold the jd.tt form of the party I felt it necessary In order to retain my self-respect that I enter a protect, and the only way I could do this was to send in my resignation."

The chamberlain, come to invite us to the residence of the ex-ejueen, had suggested 11 o'c.ock tiiat morning as the best hour for our visit. We approached the wide open doors through a yard of palm tron3 and bananas and cocoa nut, and amid flowers that dyed the yard with all the colors that a tropical sun can paint. We were ushered Into the royal lady's reception room, where, surrounded by a group of distinguished persons, she arose to greet us with a cordial grasp of the hand. The picture? of her hardly convey an accurate idea, of her dignity of bearing. She has all the ease of one born to high position. Her political misfortunes eeem in nowise to ha -re saddened her. She spoke freely of the brightness of life to any one dlspo.-ed to meet ail obligations, and at my suggestion that we found in life chiefly what we look for, and If we look for flowers we find flowers, and if we lok for thorns we find thorns, she. remarked: "I have found in the path of life chiefly flowers. I do not see how any one surrounded by as many blessings as many of us possess could be so ungrateful as to complain." She? said it was something to be remembered thankfully that for fifty years thre was n revolution in the islands. Sho has full faith that the provisional government is only a temporary affair, nnd that she will agin nccupy the throne. She asked her servant to show m., as something I bad not seen before, a royal adornment made up from tin -.mall bird with a 'arse name, the Melith'eptes paciflca. This -bird. I had read, had under its v. in,T a single f, at!u.r of very exquisite color. The queen corr-x-ted my inform ition by saying that it was not a single feather, but a tuft of f, athe from under the wing of the bird from which the ad u'.imcnt was rc-hi .a'-d iuret chain of l'...m;. for Iii.' neck.

It vns only a minute after our entrance when the president and bis accomplished an I brilliant lady appear -d. with a cord ility of welcome that itud us feel nut h at home.

It was to nie a mat'fer of surprise trat at a time when politics are red hot In the Hawaiian Island, and President Dole is very positive In his opinions on nil subjects. I heard not one word of bit lernest spoken Halnst him. II iwallans nnd foreigners nie alik' his eul ists. When I referred to "the tremendous quilo'it he and hist associates had on band, lie said It was remarkable her.v many of the busy mn of these Islands were willing to give so much of their tlm fron of nil charge, tei tho business of tiie n-e.v government nnd from what be believe. I to be patriotic and Christian motives. The president is a graduate ef William c llepe, Massachusetts, and when I nked him If his opinion of I 'resident Hopkins of that col legt VMS as elevated as that of President Cartield bo replied. "Yes, I think, a Crartidd did. that to sit on one end f a log, with President Hopkins eei the other, nnd talk with him m llterarv matter would be something like a "liberal education." The president's wife Is a charm of lovellne-ss snd is an artist withal. Her walls are partly decorated with her pencil. And though under her protect, as though the room was unweirthy ef a visit. Chief Justice Judd took me to her studio, wherw she passes much of her time In sketching and painting. The ride 1 took afterward with the president an p Chief Justice Judd allowed me still other opportunities of forming un elevated opinion of the present head of the Hawaiian government. The cordiality with which we had been rece ived by the present ruler and the former queen mterested us more and more In the present conditions and the future happiness of the Sandwich Islands. Aware of the different ways of looking at things and of putting things. I resolved to get the story of Hawaiian affairs from opposite side. We have always taken It for granted that 2 and 2 make 4, and yet 2 and 2 may be ho placed as to make 22. Tho figure 9 I only the figure 6 turned unside down. There are not many things like tho figure R the same whichever side u,. The different accounts I here present are reports from different standpoints. I had an opportunity of earnest and protonged converiatln with a royalist, educated, truthful, of high moral character, bern In these Islands and of great observation and experience. The following conversation teok place between us: Question Do you think the ex-ejueen a good woman? Answer I have seen the queen very often. I have been one of her advHers. and my wife has been with her much of the time from childhood and has seen her morning, noon and night and under all circumstances, and neither of us has ever wltnetswd anything compromising In her character. She has made mistake, as all make them, but she Is fully up to the moral standard of the world's rulers. She is the Imptseanatlon of kindness, and ne-Hher my wife nor myself nor any one else ha, ever heard her say a fvord against any one. In that excellence fhe is pre-eminent. In proof of her good chai:ter I have to state the fact that there I not a household in Honolulu that did not feel honored by her presence. If she had been such a corrupt chajaoter as some correspondent have represented her, I do not think that the

best men and women of the Hawaiian Islands weuld have sought her for guest and associate. Question IV) you think she has been unjustly treated?

Answer I do. sh" has been most Infamously treateel. While our island was at peace and with no excuse for interference the United States troops were landed. A groi p eif men. backed up by the United States minister and troop?, formed a cabinet and chose a president and sent a committee to the palace and told the queen to leave the place. It was another case of Nabolh's vineyard. The simple fact is that there were men Who wanted the palace, and the ofTices, and the salaries. From affluent position she was reduced in position until she had to mortgage the little left to her to pay commissioners to po to Washington and present her side of the case. As I said, the made mistakes, but she was willing to correct them, and In a public manifesto declared she was willing to retrace her steps In the matter of the "new crmstltutlon." She has es much riyht to her throne as any ruler on earth has a right to a throne, but by sharp practice, when she was unsuspecting, the United States troeps drove her from the palace, took possession of the armament and Inaugurated a new government. The ltoynllst YIe-ev. Question If the choice of royalty or annexation were put to the vote of the people, what do jou think would be the decision? Answer The cjueen's restoration by a majority of at least 10 to 1. We who are royalists are, without exception, in favor of leaving these matters to the ballot box. In the United States th? majority governs, and the majority of the people of the Hawaiian Islands ought to have the same privilege of government. Question Are the Hawaiians propertyholders or nomads? Answer They are property-holders. They have their humcs. They have a practical interest in public affairs. Moreover, they are for the most part intelligent. Yeui can ImreHy find a Hawaiian born since 1S1) who cannot read and write. euestion "What do you think is the most provoking item in the condition uf -our e-ountry? Answer It is that a professed friend'.y power has robbed us of our government. All the nations et' the earth consider that your nation has done us a wrong. Question Taking conditions as they now are, what do you think had better be done, er is that a li -mi-'pherie conti ndrum? An -wee It 's a hemipheri r-nun-diiini. Our queen is d( ihr.. it. -1. and her r-a'ace and her military forces are ia ih posse-sien of her enemies. While 1 cannot see any iv.iv in which the Avrong can be riehU'd. site 1ns such faith in the final triumph of Justice th it she expects to i es a til: her thron.-. Her c.-late, as we'.l as her crown taken from her, she deserve- the sympathy f the wh ". ? w irld. I believe in republics for p. mr Ian Is ,a:il mm vale f r others. o:;e style of government wil'. not do for ail styles of pe.-;,;,.. a republic is best for thi United States, a monarchy for The Hawaii in islands. Thus eud' d my eonversio'.i with the lo alivt 'l l;e !t-Hi?i!r-;i n Mde f the '.ie. P.itt I also had Ihe opportunity ef learning th" o.her ile e.f this question from a spirited, patriotic atul honest annexationist, and I aked mu.-h the same ques-tl.-vvs that I had asked Die loyalist. T.u following conversation between the annexationist and myself took place: Question !.i you think th queen is fit to roign? Answer No! Hy h?r signing the opium ll'-cnse and the bill for the Louisiana lottery and by either acts she proved herself unlit to govern. eu"stion 1 o you think thit the present controversy w nild be relieved if th eiue.-tloti in dispute were left to the votes of ail the people on th Island? Answer No! The Chinese, the Japanese and the Portuguese would join with the niiivs and vote do.vn the best Interest of the Hawaiian islmda. Question What do you think of tlc nre.-ont attitude of the United States g v-i-rnm nt with re.-peel to the Sundwlcn 1.-lands? Ans vcr Most unfortunnte. We are waiting for change eif administration at Washington. Mr. ('level ind lies unwisely handled our affairs. We want an administration at Washington whi.-h will f vor .in annexation, and jour next presidential election may settle our Inland affairs and settle tliem in the rln'it way. Question What i the pn sent fedlng between royalists and thse In favor of tli provisional government? Answer Very bitter and becoming more ami more dangerous, and great prudence and wisdom will have to be employed, or there will be bloodshed. Thus ended my conversation with the annexationist. As 1 said In previous letter, without taking the side either of royalists or tuinex.it 1 mist, the Ha w h lis n Islands will yet be a republic In iisclf. What an amazing thing that after all the trouble the United Sttt.s government has had with the Chinese population now within eutr borders, trjlng tfiis and that legislation to suit their case, any American statesman should propose by th? annexatlrn ef the Sandwich islands to add to our population tho 22,000 Chinese and the 12,ihm) Japanese now living in those Islands. If we want this addition of 34.Oimi Chinese and Japanese, had we not better Import them fresh from China and Japan? From what I have seen and heir.? In this my Journey I have come to the conclusion that it will be a dire day when the American government hopelessly mixes Itself up with Hawaiian affairs. It would b. disaster to them, and perplexity and use-le.-e expense to ourselves. "Hands off" and "Mind your own business" are in this case sentiments that had "better be observed by r-ngli'li, Herman and American governments. T. UK WITT TALMAdl'. D'tllt MM.I.1 lllOl.tKiY. No Other Specie I Thinking About or WurlilnK for lluiimn Kind. Charles Reade, who said so many wise and philosophic things, said one wl-e thing which might be written In letters of gold on every building In every city. I quote fre.m memory: "When you go Into a room you faney everybody there Is obrervlnff and noticing everything about you. Itut they are not. They are doing Just what you are doing thinking about themselves." Darwin applied that self-same principle to plants and animals. "You men fancy," he said In effect, "every other species Is thinking about you and working for you: that corn and fruit trees bring forth grain and apple entirely for your sake; that thorna and thistles are trying on purpose to hurt and spite you. Hut they are not. They are doing Just what, you are doing thinking about themselves, working for their own kind and their own offspring. Not for you or yours doc any part or organ ot any plant or animal exist, but simply and solely for that plant or animal. Uach sicles trie to utilize other specie for Its own objects, but it never doe anything for the sake of that other epecles any more than you sow corn er plant pippins out of abstract love for the wheat plant or the apple tree." And because Darwin gay he became the Copernicus of ssoology and botany, ho decentralized and dehumanized biological conception?. No man of science now ever believes, nays Grant Allen in the Westminster Budget, that any object In nature 13

' designedly placed there for the good rf humanity. Man, the latest comer upon the : scene of earth, found the stage already filled bv certain plants and animsls with

, seeds and fruits and wool and fur that i subserved certain needs In their own economy, and he made what use be could of them. Hut not for man did plant cr animal make them. Old-fashioned people still askt "What's the u.-c of such and such a species?" .o man of science ' ever frames that eaesiion. Mr n c science only a?kt "Of what use is m h and such an e.rgan e r structure to which species produces it?" And when iluy have answered the query they have ' done all that science now warrants them in doing. I.OST WYIFI2 AM) rOUTlN!'. A Ito-rn.intit Story front the 0na,e HcurriHlliiii. Virginia S. Miüer was a happy w:nin when, a few days ago. she su pp-d frcn i a Santa Fe train at Ponca and took the I stage f r Pawhuska, the seat ef goverti- ' merit of the Osage ttib? of Indians. i where she Is now once mere pleasantly domiciled among h -r own people. The feelings of John S. Miller, her erstwhile husband and father of the little dark-haired boy who accompanie 1 th? mother are undoubtedly somewhat different as he wanders over the streets of Chicajro and ponders over The recent past, wherein he has lost wife, son er.J fortune, because uf his own culpable actions. Tho story of the last balf-dozen year? of .the life of tlu-se people leads like a chapter from a romance. Six years ago John S. Miller was an engineer on a California coa-t steamer, plying between San Diego and San Francisco. One day while his boat was taking on pas.-Jpngiers at the wharf in the litter city a woman fell overboard. It was Miller's fortune to rescue her from a watery grave, and It wa-s the wonnn's fortune t a fall in love with her reseutr. When Miller learned that the dirkskinned, sparkling-cyed yourg woman was of Indian parentage, though well educated, the ho'. lor ot many broad, acin of fert!l land in th beautiful and romantic Oklahoma, tlie owner of consi 1erable real estate in Kansas City, and the recipient of a goodly annuity fr m th g (vernmcnt, he proposed -niarrlas-j with leclarat! ans of undying love and devotion. The courtsnip was brif and th Indian cirl became his wife i:i the Cky of thr dolden elate. Fait a few -weeks later and Miller was comfortaV.y e.-tab:.ishid on his wife's farm In the u.-ace Indian reservation. His wife ably managed the farmlv.g of her 4 a.-tes of fine land, and pr.-wperity seemed to attend her every venture. In a year a son was born to them, an 1 und?r the Osage law this child was entitled to an annuity of J per y ir from 1h g.M" rnmcnt from the very har of its birth. Th mother wNhed to lnvr t t?.ij money for th eh M as it was paid c.i -h quarter, but the fatli. r said that the bay woull finally, i:i comni'.n with th? rest of the -ifTep, receive his share .f t'i tribal funds, .".mounting t $13.000, and be elid not see any need of saing the li'tl amounts received o-uh quarter, but would take .them for Iiis euvn pocket money. Here rose th firt difference In the family circle. Millar was overbearing In all iiis ways toward th Indians living about them, and from the firs-t was very unpopular. As .time wore on he became tired of his pretty youn?r bride, and when he would luve a ditllcu'.ty with other members of the tribe would go home and tlo out his r-vei'g- in abusing her. Si cruel and abusive oil his treatment finally become that about the first of tlie present year the wife left homo, and soon after hie.! a petition in the district court at Pawnee for a divorce. Soon after thl3 Miller received no;tce to leave the reservation, and he did so the next nicht, taking with him the child, Iouis, now grown to be a rollicking b-.y of five. A party of Osage pursued him, and when overtaken he declared -that he was o:i!y going to Arkansas city. Kan., to Hale, and would 1h back th" next day, and thT allowed him to return without any trouble. A few days later, however, hi escaped with the child and went to ChlI'.U' . Tie mother at once started in pursuit, but for many months she was ur.able t secure a clew ns to the whereabouts of the missing hoy. In the tnenti-nia the suit for divorce had corn tip in the Oklahoma court, shd Mrs. Miller had been granted a divorce and nwatvbd th custody (f the child. Soon after this she attain learned of M'llsr's whereabouts in Chicago, nnd promptly had him aifsie 1 and conveyed beforw Judge Tuley, who li-tened to th whole story, and .at once ordered tlie loy turned over to hla mother, heme her return home in shappy a fram of mind.
