His Majesty's Secretary

The King has spoken, and what
does lie say? He says that "other
petitions hdUe been presented to him
eepresSing an opposite cie,o' and
that q vote of the Legislative AS
sembly 'JW1ed to eapress a scam Of
confidence" IN the Ministry; that
''for these and other reasons he does
not deem it consistent to disregard
this expression of the Legislative
Assembly"
For what "other reasons" he does
not deign to say, and with what he
does not "deem it consistent" is
equally uncertain.
If rs q matter of fact the Legisla-
ture had failed to express want of
confidence in the Ministry, nothing
would have been more consistent
with the Kings previous conduct
than to Immediately demand their
designations. In 1876, 1878, 1880
and 1852, vote of want of con-
fidence in the Ministry was defeated
by large majorities; in 1882 the
vote | eing 81 TO 10, and yet in each
of those instances the Ministry was
dismissed from Office within few
days after the Legislature had ex-
pressed its confidence in them. The
King quibbles, and trifes with the
people when he says that ''other
petitions expressing an opposite
opinion" have been presented to him.
The "other petitions" like the vote
of tic Legislature, are the offspring
of the very men concerning whom
they speak.
The King basis his reply there 1st-

satisfactory. | consider the Ministers

affairs. The Deputy Marshal wEo
is in charge of the place, does net
sleep there. | would ask the Minis
ter of Interior to inform the Assembly
how the Jail was run without head
Jailor.
Minister Gulick said that at the
time of the death of the late jailor
certain alterations in the Jail were
contemplated, such as remodeling,
occupation of prisoners, &C., which
could not be carried out without
Legislative sanction. This would
necessitate workshops, &c. If it were
thought best to teach the prisoners
trades, it would be necessary to
employ suitable lunas. In view of
the change to be made, the Jail was
carried along up to the time of the
Legislature, with the hope that
something definite would be arrived
at during the session.
Mr.. Smith said there was no item
on the appropriation bill for the
contemplated changes. The ex-
planaton given was anything but
satisfactory. There ought to be
great changes in the management of
the Jail and in the MarshaPs de-
partment.
Mr.. Kalua said, 1 am in favor Of
an item for salary of Jailor, but L
have been told by one lately released
from the Jail that the guards were

shall, Mr.. Dayton, merely goes there
for short time each day, walks
into the office and turns over some
books, and goes home again to
sleep. The prisoners, after return
Ing from their daily labor, gamble
for money which they have earned
during the day. Prisoners are often
kicked and beaten for trivial Of
fences. The late turkey, Malaihi,
would knock man down and render
him insensible in one blow.
The item was finally passed as in
bill.
Guard of Oahu Prison, $1,000.
Passed.
Support of Prisoners, 100000.
Mr. W.. o. Smith moved this item
be referred to Select Committee.
Notwithstanding all the sugges-
tions that have been made about
prisoners working within the prison
walls, no attempt or experiment had
yet been made. The only answers
received are: "Its no use," "Can-
not change the present system"
The management of the Reforma-
tory School is excellent. Every of
fence renders one liable to fine and
Imprisonment. For not having a
light on your carriage you are liable
to Imprisonment.
Minister Gibson said, | second

do well to accept the services of the
Hon member as prison reformer,
and would benefit by his experience
in the matter. The item passed as

can't carry Ohio now, whereas our prospects
were very fair few months ago It's all very
well to talk of reduction of taxation and cheap

a crowd of workmen and tell them that the tariff
raises the price of everything they use, and that
free trade is the panacea for this evil you are

MARY WASHINGTON.
The Effort Being Made to Erect Il Monument
to Her Memory.


to Her Memory.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-An effort is being
made by patriotic Virginians to have Congress
make an appropriation to build monument to
the memory of Mary Washington, mother of the
iilustrious George, 1t is proposed to build the
monument at the old home of Mrs Washing
ton-Fredericksburg, Va, a short distance from
Washington.
Several attempts, it seems, have been made to
build a monument at fredericksburg In 1881
subscription fund of 50, 900 was raised to begin
the work. The money placed in the hands
of some sacriiegious scalawag who defaulted,
and the scheme fell through like sheaf of
wheat down hatehway Two years later
Mr. Burrows, a wealthy New Yorker, began the
construction of the monument, desiring to leave
a piece of his handiwork to his own memory but
he had not got it more than two-thirls com
pleted until he financially failed, went West to
retrieve his fortune and died. The cornerstone
to the monument had been laid ilnposingly,
under the blessing of President Andrew Jack
son, and the old partially built structure stands
there yet.
But this was not all of the illfortune
the citizens of Fredericksburg had in their
efforts to secure monument to her
memory. Nine years ago the matter went to
Congress, and aid was asked to either restore
the partially constructed monument from the
ruins war had wrought and time had given, or
build new one. subcommittee visited the
city of Fredericksburg, took memoranda of
what was needed, reported favorably to the full
committee, and the committee recommended an
appropriation, but the session closed and the
bill died before it could be reached on the calen
dal. The structure begun is of marble and is
sixteen feet high, ten feet at the base, aud was
to have been surmounted by large marble
shaft seventeen feet high. A large portion of it
has been defaced or carried away by relic hunt
ers, principally during the late war.
The City Council of Fredericksburg has ap-
pealed to Congress officially, and the members
of Congress from the Old Dominion are taking
ho' of it with an energy worthy of the
object, 1t may be a good many years, how
ever yet, before the monument is completed

he was married while slave TO slave woman,
in Belford county, Virginia, in 1861. The case
hinged on the validity of the slave marriage
The judgeEinstructed the jury that slaves, being
property could not make legal contract, but
that courts have decided that slave marriage
became valid by cohabitation as man and wife
after the Emancipation Proclamation went into
effect in 1864. The case thus turned on the ques-
ton of the fact whether the pair had so cohab-
tied, as shown by the evidence. The jury rem
dered verdict of not guilty.
