travelled, 4,267; and more periodicals

Libraries have not been as highly ap-

churches, and entered into denomina-

1t is claimed that Jumbo has grown
FIVE irches in Eeight since he came to
America. We knew he vas growing
very rapidly. At least, we noticed that
the picture of him on the circus posters
were much larger this year. Las, sea-
son he merely stood squarely on his
four feet and ate apples out OF the
fourth story windows of a hotel. On

down little to pick up bun from
the roof OF the same hotel. Oh, yes,
he is growing.-Hawkeye.

There was another refreshing shower
on Sunday evening, since everything
has been set a growing, Several
cattle have been tickled to death by the

Editorial Articles.
FROM THE DAILY p. c. A.

! THE KINGS SPEECH delivered at
! the opening of the Assembly last Sat
urday, is longer than such documents
usually are, here or elsewhere One
reason for this is the much more ex-
tensive programme Of matters accom-
plished, and matters initiated during
! the past biennial period, and OF pro-
jects for the future OH which His Ma
jesty had occasion to comment.
The facts disclosed in the speech
which will naturally attract most at
tentiOn from the business men Of the
community, and the white population
generally, are Q) the announcement
that proposal has been made 20 the
Government of the United States for a
definite renewal of the Reciprocity
treaty; (2J the measures c0ntempla ted
for promoting the settlement of Por-
tuguese ani other Immigrants upon
the land; (3) the promised proposals
for laying inter-island, and perhaps
international submarine cables, as y
national enterprise "a the fact
hIidb a. k'iaCCICdl SCiltIhS iDC giving
ample water supply for Homo
lnlu has been elaborated; 80 the prom
ised plans for giving to the police and
military establishments of the coun-
try increased effectiveness; and (6)
though last not least, the statement
that the proposed expenditure for the
biennial period which we have just
entered upon is kept strictly within
the limits of the estimated ordinary
revenue of the Kingdom.
Some OF these measures have from
time to time been strenuOusly advo-
Gated in these columns, and it gives
us great satisfaction to find them now
defin tely accepted az paris Of the pol
icy OF His Maje-ty's Government
The whole of them will be thoroughly
acceptable 70 the community both
native and foreign.

UNDER the inspiring influence OF
the meeting of the Assembly our
weekly COnten pOraries have broken
out again in something Of their old
style IA style from which they hsd
for time fallen away, much to their
credit. The Press of last Saturday ~
full Of personalities and Of wholesale le
charges OF fraud ami corruption
against the Ministry, wOrded In the
worst possible taste. The Gazette is
mildly facetiOus, s'tirical, and per
somal too, and very biundering in its
attacks-n8 u8uuk IF the representa-
tires in the Assembly Of the oppOai-
ton party of which these papers pro
fess TO be the mouthpieccs are unwise
enough 10 follow the same tactics,
Ministers can have little TO fear from
them and the country little to hope
Men inspired by conscientious convic-
tions and patriotic feelings do not talk
rs the Guzettc and the Press talk
do not say what Is not true in the hope
of making a point with care less and
upinfOrmcd readers against the people
they oppOse-do not bluster about
fraud, corruption, incapacity and sin
lister motives when they speak about
men whom they know 20 bc as capa-
bic and honest - any men in the
not attack and try to
hurt the feelings and the reputation

expenses Of the Legislature are esti-
mated At $50, ZOO, being $4,000 only
more than last session. The surplus
OF the last vote was only 1858. %, and
our Legislators are to have double pay
this time, SO il il evident some econ
omieS are contemplated. From past
experience, we have learned to doubt
the capacity of the Legislature for
economies which touch the RepreseD
tatiVes themselves.
The Judiciary department shows an
increase Of 1925. OF this $1,000 is ac--
counted for by the PROPOSAL To give
each Of the Associate Judges $500
year more than form erly. II is also
proposed TO raise the salaries of some
of the Circuit Judge es and of the
Police Magistrates. I he Department
Of Foreign Affairs ash for $66, ,S66. 50
less than in 1852 This is accounted
for by the omission Of several items
for which il was necessary To provide
in 1882. The Interior Department
asks for 1921, ,Ol3 81 this time as
against ~, ,174, ,925 SO appropriated last
session. The details of the difference
would occupy too much space if re-
capitulated here. OG course some
larger items which do not appear this
time were intended in 1882 to be pro-
vided for by proceeds of the loan. The
Finance Department requires SI62,68p
more than IN 1882. This il chiefly q
question of Loans falling due for re-
payment The Bonds to be paid
amount to SIG, 10000 which is $1O6, 500
more than in the last biennial period.
The Attorney-Generars Department
also requires S49,06S more than in
1852; the estimated cost of the police
force being considerably in excess Of
any former appropriation, a fact
which might have been surely count
upon as the result of increased pOpu-
lation and especially of the increase
Of Chinese made up chiefly of ina
migrants Of IA very inferior order.
The Board OF Education asks for
~, ,42G less than last time. The ap-
preparations of 1882 appear to have
been in excess OF requirements,
or else the liberality Of the
Legislature was not faithfully reflected
in the administration of the depart
ment. The Board of Health asks for
$224, 900, "A little less than the amOuus
for the purpo es of the
Board in 1882. under the head Of the
Interior Department.
II may be noted that there ia in
these estimates nothing for immigrs-
tiOn, nothing for subsidies to ocean
steamers. little or nothing for new
public works of any kind. We pre-
sumo that some explanations on this
head will shortly be forthcoming.
