The Governors Office is the only one in which
the State election makes any notable change.
Colonel Gray, the Governor-elect, will be inaug-
urated on the second Monday in January. He
will move to The city, however, early next
month. His private secretary will be his son,
Pierre, who is a graduate of Asbury University,
and has been a law student in his fathers Office
at Union City.

Miss ANNA KATHARINE GREEN, the author of
1.-THE L~eavenworth Case" and several other
novels in which the detection of crime is the
motive, is about to be married. 1t will be en-
tirely useless for her husband to run off with the
wedding silver or the hired girl, or even to wan
der about O nights with any hope of security.
With such a wife no guilty man can escape de-
lection.

Money To he Made.

1t is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing house
of George Stinson & Co., of Portland, Maine.
The reason of this exceptional success is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully well on several new lines. They need
many more agents in all parts of the coun-
try. Those who need profitable work should
apply at once. Women DO as well as mer.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson & Co. undertake to show all who
are willing to work, not hard but earnestly,
the path to large success. 1t should be le-
membered that an agent can do handsome
business without being away from home
over night. Another advantage-it costs
nothing to give the business trial, and an
agent can devote all his time, or only his
spare moments to it. Stinson & Co. guar
antee grand success to all who engage and
follow simple and plain directions that they
give. We have not space to explain all here,
but full particulars will be sent free to those
who address the firm; their full address is
given above.

and the creation Of comprehensive

In the period ending March 81,

$2,o7o,a59o4; the appropriation bill
for the same period was S., 563,Ir6. SO.
A great deal of useless expense might
doubtless have been cut out of the
appropriation bill; but the revenue
still would have been inadequate to

lively small loan has been needed by

with the proposed ten million loan,

TOE Importers OF Mr. Gibson and
h policy are perhaps unaware of a
tact which they must soon find out for
themselves and which, therefore, the
independent cause risks nothing in
making public The moral sense OF
the native people has been aroused by
the very arguments employed by Mr.
Gibson to lull that sense to sleep "Thc
policy Of Hawaii for the Hawaiians' -
as cxemplifed by both the preaching
and the practice of the young Hawaii
party, so far as it fairly may be con
sidercd a party has been either in
the bad direction of extravaganza or
the worse direction OF loose living. As
a logical consequence the thrifty and
the religious among the native popula-
ton joined hands and entered form
idlblc protest against the twin evils of
an evil policy that ought TO be, and yet
may become, a good policy. But in
their desire for rctrenChmcnt in gov
crnment expenses many OF the best
natives 20 too far 1t is a fact easily
demonstrated that the regular revenue
Of the government has, for several
years past been inadequate to meet
the expenditures. 1t is generally be
Iieved, (and the Press fully endorses
the belief that unreasonable, unjust,
outrageous expenditures have been
made during the control Of Mr. Glib
son, for which he has been at least in
directly responsible But in spite of
that fact it is urged by some Of our
best men that the national income has
been inadequate for the full develop
ment of many national enterprises Of
great public utility. In the work Of
immigration, for instance, there has at
no time been at the disposal of the
government a sum that might lawfully
be set aside from the revenue (without
embarrassing other funds) sufficient to
bring here the wives and children of
the large number of immigrants de
manded by the straitened condition of
our labor markets.

Prominent among the many public
enterprise which private capital p .er
can not or will not upGertake are
assistance to imm'qTaton for popula-
tlon (thc bringing of women and chill

the promotion of ocean cables. Money
spent in any of the three directions
named would be money well expended.
The immigration problem has been so
carefully studied and so exhauStively
presented that we need not enlarge
upon it here. Its right solution would
do much to solve the problem of the
industrial and social future of these
islands. The improvement of harbors
has not received the attention its i'm
portance merits. 1t is big subject
and demands the consideration of our
best mmds-in the legislature and out
of it. There is no good reason why an

Panama canal these islands will lie in
direct line of steam navigation between
the Occident and the Orient, between
New York and Canton, between the
chalk cliffs of Albion and the river
marshes Of Far Cathay. In that
event the value of these islands as a
coaling and provisioning station may
scarcely be overestimated. In that
event, also, the construction of an
ocean cable would become one Of the
necessities of the situation. And the
Legislature will fail in an important duty
