FKOM QUANT TO MCKINI.KY.
An Ex-Confederate Veteran under
General Picket during the rebellion,
at a recent meeting held at Phila
delphia in support of the soldiers
ticket says:
“When General Grant started
your parly on that high plane of
treatment of our people he put us
on our honor. We were down on
our backs, uud the Republican party
was throned in absolute power. In
our anticipation it was only a ques
tion bow many of our leaders you
would consider it necessary to bang
V’ou might have treated us as the
prostrate inhabitants of conquered
islands, and you received us instead
as fellow citizens, and lived up to
your proclamations that yon had
been lighting with us for four years
only to keep us in thut relation.
Much lias been said of the magna
nimity, the generosity, the charity
and soon of the treatment of the
south by the north after the war, but
it. took the present war to call proper
utlenlion to the foresight and broad
statesmanship of the Republican
party in following the policy it has
pursued. McKinley has shown him
self worthy of the example of Lin
coln and Grant. When he contin
ued Fit/. Lee at Havana uud then
gave old Joe Wheeler the chance he
sought to go out and get shot at un
der the old Hag he wurmed our
hearts and turned a clinch on the
good work of thirty years ago.
‘•What do we folks think of Mc
Kinley? Whut did you think in '<14
when it was tried to put somebody
else in Lincoln's place to settle the
job? No president since Lincoln
has grown upon the country after
liis election so fust as McKinle y, and
there are a lot of us down south who
uever voted unything but a Democ
ratic ticket who are not only going
to be for McKinley next time but
who are for the ticket that represents
McKinley this full. The party that
has fought the war must be the
party to settle the issues growing out
of the war, now as in ’<>5. We may
be just at the begiuiog of our troubles
aud all the nations of this earth must
be taught that this county stands
right behind its president as the north
stood by Lincoln. His defeat would
have been worth an army to the Con
federacy then, and any doubtful sound
that would go out to the world from
our voting places this fall might cost
us another war. You—we—have one
party in this country which has
proved itself capable not only of
conducting a great war. but of gath
ering its fruits aud dealing with the
questions which follow, and the en
thusiasm for its success in the elec
tions this year is just plain horse
sence. And so.,’ he added, witu a
sweeping gesture toward the room
where the war veterans were declar
ing their loyalty to the ilepublican
soimer nonet, "so is mat 1 woman t
give shucks for an old soldier who
wouldu t stuud by unother old soldier
whenever be got a chance."

system. Most of the troops who
swarmed up the slopes at Santiago,
and captured intrenched positions
held by seasoned troops and swept
by artillery were mere untrained
butchers, bakers and candlestick
makers at the beginning of the war.
When they went into camp at Tampa
they were the greenest of the raw
hands. Many of their officers were
probably very little better. Their
commissariat was a practical joke.
Transport, medical service, all hud
to lie created. The chief part of
their equipment was their spirit as
free men, their general intelligence,
their lifelong habit of turning their
bands and their bruins to anything
and to master it ut uncomonly sitorl
notice. In one word, they had
nothing ut their hack but the sys

with this, they hare the wherewithal
for the ruggedest hour that time and
spite can bring against their country
in time of danger.

Ttid Hawaiian Alphabet.
There are hut 13 letters in the Ha
waiian alphabet. These, with their pro
nunciations, are: A (ah), e (a), o (o as
in ho), n (oo), h (hay), k(kay), 1 (la),
m (moo), n (noo), p (pay), ami w (vay).
The missionaries addod a thirteenth, t, |
but the natives won't havo it, and con
tinue to pronounce, for instance, the
name of the root from which poi is
made “kara.'' although the mission
aries have it “tara.* Every vowel in a
word is distinctly sounded, except that
the vowels ‘‘ai’' are sounded “i,” as In
English. Waikiki, the beach in Hono
lulu, is properly pronounced "VI
keekoe." Thoro is a great difference in
the speech of the high and low caste
natives. Tho first call their island
group “Ha-va-ee-ee,” and tho latter bo
gin it all right with “Ha, ’’ but con
clude with a guttural gruiit, and the
word heard most, “Aloha,” sounds soft
and beautiful on the Ups of the first,
but is a lazy, good natured grunt as tho
latter speak it.
Aloha is in their limited vocabulary
at once a greeting and farewell, a form
al expression of regard aud of deep
love. In the latter case it ia increas' d
in warmth and depth of meaning by
modifying adjectives annexed instead
of prefixed, as “Aloha uui," “Aloha
uni loa,” or oven “Aloha nul loa kea!"

How Him Won Over the .1 iidge.
A woman resident of Detroit relates
an interesting talo of Kansas justioe
years ago. It was after her wedding trip
that her husband was called to Kansas
on business and a real estate dealer, out
of spite, had him arrested. The prisoner
was taken before a local justice of the
peace. The incensed bride insisted u))on
attending the trial, aud while it was in
progress she so far forgot herself as to
deliberately level her opera glasses npou
the justice, who dashed undor the table
and shonted:
4 4 T\ .b sU.,4 Iff
Thu officer secured the glasses and
cautiously laid them before the magis
trate, who promptly fined the woman
,000 for contempt of court. With
gracious diguity she asked the right to
defend herself, and, going up to the
bench, she explained that the glasses
were not harmful, and had the justioe
look through them, and after a few
pretty words of apology she presented
them to him. He hit the table a mighty
blow to reconvene court, and lined the
prosecuting witness $26 “fur insultin a
visitin lady and gent in contrariety ter
law and eterket. ”—New York Tribune.
Blunders In Song* and Programmes,
I suppose all composers have bad a
laugh over i he extraordinary mistakes
which son < times occur in the first
proofs of then- songs. Iremember, years
ago, writing u very sentimental love
song in whioh the line occurred:
I've never onoe regretted the row I made that
dey.
My feelings may be imagined when I
found they had printed
I've never onoe regretted the row I made that
day.
And onoe the following amusing mis
take occurred in the programme of one
of my own oonoerts. A well known
singer and very good friend of mine
was down to sing my two songs, “To
Mary” and “Crabbed Age and Youth.”
But the newspaper announced some
thing very different. Not content with
drawing up a programme of my ooncert,
it drew up a programme of my future,
for I read as follows:

To Marry Maude Valerie White.
