The PERFECT HOME,

The most perfect home | ever saw
was n little house into the sweet in
ccnse of whose fires went no costly
things. A thousand dollars served
as a years living for father, mother
and three children. But the mother
was the creator of u home her rela-
tions with the children were the
most beautiful l have ever seen.
Every inmate Of the house involun-
tarily looked into her face for the
keynote of the day, and it always
rang clear. From the rosebud, or
clover leaf, which, in spite of her
hard housework, she always found
time to put beside our plate at
breakfast, down to the story she
had in hand to read in the evening,
there was no intermission of her In
fuence. She has always been and
will always be my ideal of q mother,
wife and home-maker. If to he1
quick brain, loving heart and ex-
quisite face had been added the ap.
pliances of wealth and enlargements
of wide culture, hers would have
been absolutely the ideal home. AS
it was, it was the best | have ever
seen. The late Helen Hunt.

DEPRECIATION or SILVER.

Mexico has probably suffered
more than any other country from
the steady depreciation Of silver, for
the reason that it is her principal
article of export. An attempt to
help matters WAS made in the law of
June 6, 1887, which aimed to dimi-
nish the cost of production of the
metal by the removal of various
domestic taxes. The resulting gain
has been slight, though the miners
are grateful even for that. Just
now new "blow at Mexican silver"
is being aimed by Spain. Some time
ago that country ordered the dis
continuance of the circulation of the
Mexican dollar in the Philippine
Islands, and now proposes to coin a
"colonial dollar" for use in Cuba
and Porto Rico, as well as in her
colonial possessions of the East.
This will not only cut off an exist
ing demand for Mexican silver, but
will throw back upon the Mexican
Government part Of the outstand-
ing coinage. Fear of this may have
been the spur urging on the Mexi-
can Chamber to the latest law upon
the subject. This measure, which
passed its first reading on Novem-
Der 18th, directs the President to
exert himself to procure an agree
ment among the Latin countries,
ENGLAND and the United States for
the use of an international silver
coin. The debate was only notable
for bringing to light what is prob
ably new epithet among the many
astonishing ones applied to silver;
a deputy called it "the red globues
in the blood of commerce. AS to
the project itself, it will undOubted-
ly come up in some shape before the
coming American Congress, from
which gathering more may be ex-
pected than from the simple initia-
tive of Mexico. Among the great
practical difficulties in the way of
the scheme may be mentioned the
widely varying monetary units of
the South American States. To
make a coin easily eXchangeable
with them all would almost require
higher mathematics of the kind
Robert Morris proposed to employ
to harmonize the different monetary
units of the Confederation .- BOs-

BELLS ON THE TRAMwAY HORSES.

EDIToR BULLETIN Mr.. Gribble
in his communication Of yesterday,
invites suggestions from the public,
as to the Tramways Company. Al
though his words would import a
request only for suggestions in a
particular line, yet, as think the
invitation can be construed in a gem
eral way, will venture one. Would
it not be a good idea for the COM
pany to follow the practice of simi-
lar corporations in the States, by af-
fixing to the collars Or harness Of
the horses or mules small bells
These bells, in serving dual pur-
pose, would soon become a pro-
nounced convenience to the public.
Firstly: They would serve as a
warning of the approach of the cars,
thereby allowing customer tc
either remain in his house until the
car had come within n comfortable
distance, or else whilst awaiting its
coming, seek some congenial shade
Secondly: These bells would serve
to warn pedestrians of the nearnes!
of the cars, becoming an additiona
precaution against possible acci
dents. To me it seems quite fea
sible idea, the practical results o
which would soon more than doublN
repay the costs. A SUGGEsTER.

1RE AMERICAN POLITICIAN.

Good society keeps prudently
aloof from politics and politicians.
Enlightened, educated, well-bred
people have no desire to be con-
founded with the heroes of the
stump and stand back; the rich
iinancers and merchants are too
busy to take up politics; the Sena-
tors and Congrcssmen are more or
less the chosen Of the common peo-
pie, and good society says: "No,
thank you, prefer TO stay at
home" Thus it ; that the ground
remains clear for the noisy medic
critics, and that Il gentleman has only
to mix himself up in politics to be-
come q decluSSe. He must reach
the White House TO inspire little
respect.
The American gentleman has not
the least ambition TO see his fair
name dragged in the mud, to hear
himself nicknamed "IIonest john"
"Jolly Roger" or what not. He
takes joke as well as another, but
ii YOU NcIc W CAli nun oclalOl
or Congressman" he would have
you up for defamation of character.
The President himself does not
altogether escape the contempt which
the politician inspires in the man of
refinement. When | was asked in
America what celebrities l had met
! generally answered: "First of all
l have had the honor of paying my
respects to your President" / in
variably missed my effect, "Ah,
really" people would say to me,
II see-but, there, you are for
eigner." This was an excuse, 1
suppose, for the Americans did not
shut their doors upon me- From
Max O'Rell's book.

CHINESE SECRET SOCIETIES IN The
SIRAlIS SETIlEMEMIS,

A bill of very great importance
has been laid before the Legislative
Council of the Straits Settlements.
1t is ostensibly designed to deal
with Chinese associations, but prac-
tically it is intended to suppress all
Chinese secret societies, which have
been pest all over the Malay Pen
insula, and have led to assassina-
ton, resistance to authority and
public disturbances. A dispatch
from the Governor TO the Secretary
of State discussing the whole sub
ject had been laid upon the table.
In it Sir Cecil Smith expressed the
opinion that the time had now come
for dealing with the secret societies
in a final and thorough manner. The
bill proposes to give the local gov
ernment fuller powers of controlling
and supprcssing what are known as
secret societies Every society of
more than two persons, with certain
exceptions, will be unlawful unless
registered under the law, and no
society can be registered without tne
approval of the Governor in Coun-
Gil. Existing societies registered
under the existing law must obtain
that approval, and register them
selves within three months after the
commencement of the new law, under
pain of being treated as unlawful
societies. The onus of showing that
a particular society is not enc re-
quiring registration is thrown on
those accused of belonging to it,
and for this purpose, accused per-
sons are empowered TO give evi'
dence on their own behalf. The
Governor in Council may dissolve {
society, and thereupon its property
will vest in the official assignee il
bankruptcy, and it will be dividet
among the members. Power i:
given to the authorities to summon
before them persons who can giv'
any information respecting the eX
istcnce of any unlawful society o
, the operations of any society,"

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27, 1889.
AMBITIOUS HiLO.

Following is what the latest issue
of the Hilo "Record" says -
BY the last advices from the
States, it seems that the Canadian,
Vancouver, and Australian cable is
still an uncertain problem. If that
cable is ever laid it will touch at
these islands, probably at Hilo, as
the route this way is much shorter
than by way Of Honolulu. And it
will be more certain of stopping
here, if our inter-island cables are
all laid and in working order.
BY our latest advices from Homo
lulu, the cable connecting Oahu,
Molokai, and Maui, is almost finish
ed and will be sent from British CO.
lumbia by schooner as soon as fin
ished.
The cable is to land at some point
on the western end of Molollai, run
across that island to near the east
ern end with overland wire, cross
the channel to Kaanapali, Wailuku
and Hama. Where the company can
connect with already existing land
lines, it will do so. The next step
will be the crossing of the Hawaii
channel. We hope that the Hama
kua and Kohala companies will have
connected by that time, and then
Hilo will have direct teIegraphic
communication to Honolulu. 1t
does not seem to many that the
intcr-island cables can be made to
pay. But we are daily finding that
progress, fellows any such enter
prise, and we most firmly believe
that in a year or two, cable stock
cannot be bought at any price. We
ought to have telephone communj-
cation with Kau and Kona. But
there Is a long dreary stretch be-
tween Hilo and the. Volcano, and
then on to Kapapala, Kau, over
which no company can carry line
with any prospect of its being made
to pay.
1t will be necessary for the Gov
ernment TO do something in its aid
and we must direct our next Legis-
lature to get subsidy for that part
of our line. The world ow-a-days
does not wait for its news, or busi-
ness to be transacted by means OF
horsepower, but requires the
speediest methods for transmission
of news. And we cannot lag be,
hind.

A CHECK ON SHORT WEIGHT.

Several of the big buildings of
Philadelphia have recently had plac-
ed in them scales with hopper re-
ceptacle capable of holding several
tons of coal. They are situated un-
der the sidewalk chutcs, and the
coal is dumped directly into the
hopper from the cart and then
weighed. The engineer of one of
these buildings says that thus assur-
ing full weight in the coal he buys,
he saves the value of the scales
many times during the year.

THE FIRST IDEA OF FRANCE.

The world can never be sure at
any time that revolution may not
overthrow the French Republic. A
foreign correspondent we'll says that
ever since 1870 the great majority
of the French people have looked
forward to 1.-The day Of retribution,"
when Germany shall be compelled
to give back Alsace and Lorraine,
and if the republic will not lead
them to that end, theys will seek
some form of government that will.

THE HOMESTEAD ACT.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-As some jing-
ling rhymster tried TO amuse himself
and the public in your columns last
evening, by slurring the Govern
ment in connection with the Home
stead Act, | trust you will find space
for few more words on that sub
ject. Logic is wasted, and reason
thrown away on him who neither
understands or desires either. So
addressing myself not TO your even
ing poet, but to the fairer minded
portions of your readers, | would
call attention to the following facts:
The present Government is carrying
out law, which, perfect or imper-
feet; was the work of the legislature
of the dear old days of 1884, and
which law was almost totally ignored
until the advent of the present Min
istry. The "Tocks," marshes"
ETC., at which your poet filings are
not only the best the Government
can offer--they are all it can offer,
Instead OF being located "nowhere," :"
they have been surveyed with labor
and precision, and (probably worse
than all in your poets eyes), these
homestead lots are being steadily
taken up and occupied, and a rea-
sonable success IN the matter has
been already achieved. If your
rhymster will inform the Govern
ment where it can find more land,
better land, or better methods of
survey and distribution, he will at
tain to distinction which it is safe
TO say he does not now enjoy.
