The NevsaMiner gives the fbnow-
ing account of die shooting On Deer
Creek last Tuesday:
On arriving at or near the place OF
the shooting we met Angus McMas-
tier, who went up withaJ. II. Harper,
one of the owners of the Bullwhacker,
to see the mins.4 After examining |
the NINE, having seen poone only the
men who we're at work, they got into
their buggy and started back.
/ The road for about 4 mile Isl very
lsteep, SO that they had to rough lock
both hind wheels, and also narrow.
When down about half = mile they
|met T. w. West, who had rifle in
his right handresting On his left arm,
; who stopped the borsesand commenc-
ed cooking the gun and pointing itat
MsMastes, who, to prevent his shoot
|. ing, kept pulling the horses heads TO
d the right and left, and at the same
b time exclaimed for ssGod's sake don't
J, shoot" Mr.. Harper got out of the
r buggy and approached West, and
West made motion as If to strike
Harper, when McMaster jumped out
. of the buggy and ran behind it ane
lpp the road, when West fired at hin
at distance of not more than thirt,
: feet. McMaster fell fat in the roa,
on his face and kept still as if dead
ne A second shot was fired, which Nc
al Master thought was fred at Harper
rs. When McMaster got up he could nc

that Harper was killed he rushed u
the road back to the mine for he'll

that she had lost her husband and

supposed "worthy but poor widow
in order to make the deception COM
plete, had bes,neared her face with
iodine and claimed that she had cry
sipelas, and kept her veil over her
face. Mrs. Brisbin gave the woman
clothing. Her plan was not to go on

, to the poor farm, and it was thought
that her tale of woe and distress
) would awaken sympathy, and the
S people Of Boise City would contribute
e literally. The Republican concludes
: its remarks about this worthy wild
$ ow" as follows: The plan did no
work, for, notwithstanding she KEEP
closely yelled, the mistress of the poo
e farm, Mrs. Tarrant, knew her voice
n and the jig was up. She was the Wi

widow" but when he received an al

- for OBTAINING the lady against n
y will his eyes were opened, and he d
nc nounced the "poor but worthy" W

can weep and dream in vain, and at
last awake from his lethargic state
of inactivity, grasping desperately
for the reins of prosperity that have
already been secured by these Mon
golians. I can safely say, and shall
be sustained, that it is the opinion of
very considerable number of our
community that we have none too
much silver now in circulation in the
Kingdom in order to facilitate the
speedy transaction of business. If
the outstanding certificates now in
circulation are redeemed in gold by
the Treasury, the certificates and
gold will both eventually disappear
from circulation, leaving the coun-
try less S1,40O,000 in circulation
than we had before our certificates
were cancelled and our deprecated
currency converted into gold."
Sir, we are now compelled reluc-
tantly to accept the situation. In
conclusion, l will say that the time
has not yet arrived to successfully
return to q gold standard and keep
those shining coins within our domi-
mons. In order to accomplish the
object and successfully carry out the
law, we must remove by separation
the well-organized, concentrated
powers now known to exist, as
having the strongest affinities for
our precious American gold.

Vice-Consul at Marseilles. He
ascertained that vessel just leaving
Marseilles for Buenos Ayres had
among the passengers number of
women and young girls going in
charge of procuress as recruits to

The Vice-Consul stretched his

eight of the girls who were natives

is now harboring these girls in an

them to their parents or parishes in

the new DICTIONARY.

Among a series of resolutions
adopted by the recent meeting of
the Teachers Association is the
following:-" We cordially approve
of the action of The Board of Educa-
ton in securing the preparation of
an English-Hawaiian Dictionary, and
would respectfully recommend that
it be put to press as speedily as
possible, preferably in San Fran
cisco, where there are facilities for
such work not to be found in Homo
lulu" With portions of this reso-
luton we cordially agree; from
others we as cordially dissent. The
"action of the Board of Education
in securing the preparation of an
English-Hawaiian Dictionary" cer-
tainly deserves approval, for the
need of such a dictionary is much
felt by teachers and others. And
because the need is so much felt we
endorse the recommendation "that
it be put to press as speedily as
possibly" Here our approval ends.
" Preferable in San Francisco we
cannot endorse, because we believe
in encouraging home industry. In
San Francisco greater number of
printers can be put on any given
job, and so complete it in a shorter
time. Barring this one thing, we
do not admit that there are
facilities" for plain book work there
"not to be found in Honolulu )"
and we presume there is no intention
of getting up an illustrated or other
wise ornamental English-Hawaiian
Dictionary. There are printing
establishments in Honolulu with as
good and suitable type, as good
paper, as good presses, and as skill
full workmen as can be found in any
Office in San Francisco. Even in the
matter of time, it is questionable if
there would be any gain, considering
that the proof would have to be
sent here to be read. Then why
should this. English Hawaiian Die
tionary be printed abroad in prefer
ence to being done at home?

OUR FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY: The
CAUSES AND A REMEDY.
(BY z. Y. sQUIREs.
(CoNcInacd.l

If the Chinaman is allowed to re-
main here and continue in business
with the same privileges as formerly,
he will in the near future compel
foreigners to close out at loss
every business enterprise now under
their control. The power has been
granted, and now lies in his hands,
to check and retard the future pros
perity of business men here and seal
the fate of the unforeseeing native
race at his leisure. A few remarks
on our financial situation published
by myself in July last may be inter-
esting to some of your readers. On
page % and 23 can be found the
following, written at the time our
sages supposed to represent the
people were sitting in council, deli
berating upon the future prospects
of securing free coffee and the pros
perity of the nation.
"Judging from the disgraceful
proceedings now transpiring in our
Legislative Hall, it is very evident
the Anglo-SaNon and native race will
be benefited to no great extent this
session; so far have discovered no
effort having been made by the Gov
ernment or Opposition party to re-
lieve us from our political division
or financial embarrassment. The
only law of note was passed and
received His Majesty's signature
July l6, evidently intending to re-
plenish the Hawaiian Treasury with
American gold, that will be received
from the people for duties and taxes
which will supply Mongolians with a
sufficient amount of gold, so they in
future may be able to wholly control
our mercantile pursuits, and here
after purchase their goods in the
Chinese Empire. This act will allow
the sugar planter to pay the most of
his shipped men with Hawaiian silver
that he has declared to be only
worth 50 cents on the dollar. After
Dec. lst, 1884, the planter and his
agent will be able TO purchase silver
here with his gold or certificates at a
discount from the merchants, who
will daily receive it in small amounts
for their goods instead of American
gold, which will speedily find its
way into the hands of the Chinese.
|. After our silver certificates are con-
verted into gold by the holder, the
gold will mostly disappear from Cir
culation, there not being sufficient
quantity to supply the demand. Our
business. men, except planters and
their agents, will eventually pay
higher rates for gold or exchange
than at present, and in order to con-
tinue in business and pay for their
goods in gold, will be obliged to pur-
chase it from the holder at such
high premium that in a short time
after the law takes effect it will
derange his mental faculties, so he
will weep and dream of gold, but he
