How Maxwell was Traced.

Maxwell, the St Louis murderer, who
pays the death penalty shortly, passed
through Montreal two years ago last
Easter, Immediately before the commits
sion of the crime. He had just come
from England, and, passing through
Montreal on his way from Boston to ST.
Louis, entered into long conversation
with Inspector Ingram at Bonaventule
station while waiting for his train. He
described his adventures in the Russo
Turkish war, and, pulling out a large
military revolver, stated that he had
shot many Russians with it. He also
exhibited the photo OF his sweetheart
in London; said that he was anx-
iOus to meet his friend Preller
(his victim>, after which he purposed
going to New Zealand by way of San
Francisco. The murder, which startled
society by the horrible cold bloodedness
OF the methods employed, occurred three
days later. Mr.. Ingram wrote to the
St. Louis authorities, and thus put them
on the track, which, closely followed,
led to Maxwell's arrest in Australia

woman's Physical Superiority.

True, she cannot sharpen a pencil,
and, outside of commercial circles, she
cannot tie a package TO make it look
like anything but rocked cross section
of chaos; but land OF miracles see what
she can~do with pin! l believe there
are some women who can pin a glass
knob to a door. She can't walk SO many
miles around Il billiard table with moth
ing to eat, and nothing (tO speak of to
drink, but she can walk the floor all
night with a fretful baby, without
going sound asleep the first half hour.
She can ride five hundred miles without
going into the smOking-car to rest (and
get away from the children). She can
go to town and do a wearisOme days
shopping, and have a good time with
three or four friends without drinking a
key of beer. She can enjoy an evening
without smoking half a dozen cigars.
She can endure the torturing distrac-
ton of a house full of children all day,
while her husband cuffs them all a
bowling to bed before he has been
home half an hour. She is the salt
of the church, the pepper OF the choir,
the life OF the sewing society, and
about all there is of a young ladies'
school, or Il nunnery. A boy with a
sister is fortunate, fellow with cousin
is to be envied, a young man with a
sweetheart is happy, and a man with
wife is thrice blessed more than they all.

to me a legitimate work for the Govern
ment to undertake.
Noble Baldwin moved to refer the item
to a select committee.
Noble Smith did not agree with the
Minister of Interior with regard to the
lighting of private dwellings by Govern
ment. There was a time, he admitted,
when Government had taken hold OF inter
island steam communication to the ultI-
mate advantage of the public. The build
ing of the Hotel by Government was an
act of Questionable wisdom. The lighting
of private houses with electricity Is not
public necessity nor an improvement for
which the Government ought to borrow
money to provide. In what way will the
lighting of private houses by electricity
tend to develop the resources OF the coun-
try? 1t is policy of questionable wisdom
to incur public debt to supply a luxury TO
private individuals, and especially is this
the case when it is known that private
parties are willing to take hold OF the
enterprise. Los Angeles, San Diego and
many other cities had lighted their streets
with electric lamps on poles similar to
those in Honolulu, but their civic corpora
tions would give little attention TO propOs-
ais to light private houses.
Minister Ashford cited the report of the
Finance Committee recommending this
expansion of the electric light system. He
would not resist referring the matter to
committee. Some of the extremely an
tiuuated views of the honorable Noble
Smith were worthy of being so referred.
The motion to refer was adopted.
Committee rose; the House resumed
and took the usual noon recess,

Irwin to say that the fault-tinding writer
of the Bulletin was probably not in
spired by him.
The report of the committee touches
upon an important matter which has
perhaps not received sufficient consider
alton. This is, that the Legislature of
1886, as we'll as former Assemblies, have
declared the intent of the country as
against unlimited silver. The silver
coinage Act has been repealed; the
issue of silver certificates by the Govern
ment has been restricted to ten dollar
notes; the payment of debts in silver
has been restricted to ten dollars, and
last, but not least, the proposed cele-
brated bank charter asked for some
years ago by Spreckels and others, was
almost unanimously rejected by the
Legislature. The issue of bank notes
is therefore clearly illegal at the present
time, and the issue of certificates of de-
post by the banks or others, which are
payable to bearer or order, are simply
evasons of the law This is not as it
should be, and the intent of the bill is
to prevent this, as we'll as the practical
creation and issue OF any other circulat-
ing medium than that authorized by
law. 1t is doubtful whether the country
is materially benefited by the large use
of plantation drafts. It would be much
better if the country could be supplied
with plenty of gold and silver. But
this bill will not, as alleged, prevent the
free use of negotiable paper. That
stands upon footing of it's own, and is
not covered or intended to be covered by
the proposed legislation.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
made or opinions expressed by our
Issuance of Paper Money.

Issuance of Paper Money.
Mr.. EDIToR:-If a person was thor
oughly Indifferent to the matter of re-
stricting the issuance of certificates of
deposits by business or banking houses,
heretofore, he must rouse himself when
he sees the defenders of the certificates
writing as follows: We have sus-
picion that the real intent of the bill,
the introducer, and the committee is
aimed at the banking house of Spreckels
& Co.. and the intent is to stop the cir
culation of that firms bank notes."
Let me thank the writer for the words
bank notes." These words signify the
very pith and marrow of the whole mat
ter. 1t is an honest admission that we
have bank note circulation without the
protection of Banking Act.
The writer for the Bulletin, for reasons
best known to himself, has been pleased
to give his criticism a personal COM
plexion, whereas it is a matter of public
concern, as wide in its range as is the
circulation of money.
1t is to be hoped that the Legislative
Assembly will adopt the report of its
Finance Committee. Applause for such
action is bound to follow sooner or later

ONE of the important bills before the
Legislature is that introduced by Mr..
Waterhouse to "Prevent the Issue OF
Commercial Paper as a Circulating
Medium" 1t was placed in the hands
of the Committee on Finance early. in
the session, and no doubt received care
full consideration from them. The re-
port was made on the 18th, and states
that conference was had with leading
business men. 1t can hardly be urged
that the committee acted hurriedly, for
the bill was in their hands several
weeks. Among others, they consulted
Mr.. Irwin of the banking house of Claus
SPreckels & Company, and members of
the bank of Bishop & Company. Plan
tation agencies also had a hearing, and
the views of the business community
were pretty we'll expressed to and under
stood by the committee. The opinion
editorially expressed by the Bulletin,
that "the real intent of the bill, the in.
PRODUCER, and the committee, is aimed at
the banking house of Spreckels & Com
pany, and the intent is to stop the circu-
lation of that firms bank notes." appar-
emily has no foundation in fact 1t is
an ugly fling, in keeping with that
papers determined fault-fnding since
the success of the reform movement.
The whole report of the committee
bears the marks of careful consideration
and shows no sign of the cad hominem"
argument too much in vogue here.
Measures, not men," should be our
motto and our practice. The whole
course of legislation of the present Leg
Islature appears to be founded upon that
motto, and there is nothing to indicate
that this bill will not be considered in
the same spirit. 1t is also just to Mr..

War in Twenty Minutes.

"The war of the rebellion said Gen.
SickIes the other evening, "was really a
whisky war. Yes, whisky caused the
rebellion. l was in Congress preceding
the war. 1t was whisky in the morning
the morning cocktail Congress of
whisky drinkers. Then whisky all day f;
whisky and gambling all night. Drinks
before Congress opened in morning ses-
sion; drinks before it adjourned.
Scarcely a committeeman without its
demijohn of whisky, and the clink of
the glasses could be heard in the Capitol
corridors. The fghts-the angry
speeches-were whisky. The atmOs-
phere was redolent with whisky, nerv-
Gus excitement seeking relief in whisky,
and whisky adding to nervous excite
ment. Yes, the rebellion was launched
in whisky. If the French Assembly
were to drink some morning one half
the whisky consumed in any one day by
that Congress, France would declare
war against Germany in twenty min
utes.''

THE Hon. Mr.. Kalaukoa is having his
revenge for being put in the chair SO
many times during the discussion of the
Appropriation bill. Yesterday he set to
work to make up for lost time, and SO
ferocious a strain of talk did he turn on
every item as it came up, that not one
could slip by him. He has proved be-
yond doubt that he is the person most
fit for the chair.
