THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
Miss Kate Shelley, the Monigona Heroine,
is Now Living In Poverty.

Only few years ago the country rang
with the prnise of Miss Kate Shelley, of
MOnigona, Iowa, who crossed n swollen
stream in the dark, at great risk 20 herself
and in the midst OF bowling storm, to
save passenger train, for bridge had
been swept away by n torrent. Poems were
written on The episode, pictures appeared
in the illustrated papers, and innumerable
paragraphs we're written about the heroine.
II is said that she saved the railroad com
pany $4,000 or more in property, TO sny
nothing about what they might have been
called upon TO pay for lives lost and pas
sengers injured. To-day Miss Shelley is
the sole support Of widowed mother and
three small children. and they are living in
a heavily mortgaged home which is their
only property. Three years ago she risked
her life for Others and her reward is chiefly
the consciousness of brave and successful
deed. The railroad company gave her a
small reward less than the value of one Of
the cars which she saved, and the passen-
gers. whose lives were preserved by her act,
have entirely forgotten her.

Estimates Of Harrison.

"rll be id if I'll ever go to see the
president again for anybody, / don't care
who IT is or what he wants." said the gov
ernor of state that has been Rolidly repub-
lican for generations. "I would rather talk
10 the sphinx. for out of that you can get
some response-out of Harrison nover,'
said another republican prominent in
Washington official life and in the coun-
ellis of his party. "If the president wants
10 appoint his man from Indiana, why in
h-ll doesn't he do itf'' asked with visible
anger great republican senator who was a
distinguished statesman before BENJAMIN
Harrison was ever heard of outside ~ In
dlanapolis. Hes 80 confounded obstinate
aud 50 bent upon displeasing everybody ex-
cept himself that il poor fellow should
ask him for 50, and Harrison determined to
give him anything-which would be alto
gether improbnbe-he'd give him - or 50
rather than the sum asked for,n WAS the re-
mark Of another republican who helped
elect Mr. Harrison and wv evidently re-
prets H. "He toes in mentally as well as
physically" is the scntentious description
of the president given by n lively senator
from a banner republican state in the west.
The profanity Of some of these obseyatio ions
is shocking. The tone of them, one and
all, is extremely painful TO patriotic Ameri-
Guns who respect the great Office that Ben
janin Harrison holds.-N. Y. Times.

silkworms, are reported as promis-
ing well,p and in another State
the chief success seems TO have
been attained with sage and
tapioca."
We believe that there are dis
triets on these islands where each
one Of these products might be
raised with profit; not only these,
the more costly spices-cinnamon,
nutmeg, allspice, ETC., are at least
worth a capitalists attention.
On the labor question, the writer
says: 1.-The future of planting de-
ponds on the supply of cheap labor,
where can it be got from? The
Malays themselves are not gener-
ally speaking very good workers,
nor are there enough of them. The
Chinese go to the mines, but for
planting it seems that the only
supply is from Southern India, and
must be imported on certain con-
ditions for term of months" The
Resident of Perak sees no reason
why this should not be permitted,
and he will not admit that the term
slavery" can in any fairness be
applied to it. OF course an i'm
ported laborer may find himself
earning less money, after q time,
than some of his countrymen who
are not under an agreement. They
may have had the luck to find
better investment for their labor,
but, on the other hand, his voyage
is at the cost of his employer, and
he is not yet acclimatized. He
complains, but he forgets that the
fact of his being there, and of his
earning twice or thrice what he
would have earned at home, is ow-
ing to the person to whom he is
bound.
ITO prohibit agreement labor
altogether would be TO throw back
indefinitely the future of the PENN
sula, .and to deprive thousands of
Indians of chance OF lettering their
lot"
We recommend these words to
the attention of the Labor Com
mittee, and to the attention of the |
during the short re
of the session we recon-
mend the report of the Special
Committee of the Planters Labor
and Supply Company, on Chinese

In discussing the future progress
OF Hawaii, the same two great
questions always arise-the labor
supply and the possibility of raising
a greater variety Of produce.
On both these subjects the recent

such move should at once be made
to immortalize the names Of those
connected with what viii long be

THE Military Bill passed its
third reading on Friday, after the
title had been amended to read
An Act to provide for military
force, to be designated as the
Kings Royal Guard" Another
amendment proposed by Repre-
sentative Baker was intended to
give employment to q certain
elderly person, with a military
carriage, who has been hanging
around the lobby the past two or
three months. This amendment
was to do away with a captain and
lleutenants, and nave military in
structor instead. OF course Rep.
Robert Wilcox favored the amend
ment. Noble Widemann and a ma.
jority of the House, however,
plainly saw its object, and defeated
1t. In the most chiidlike manner,
Rep. Robt. Wilcox then jumped up
and moved the bill be INDEFINITELY
postponed.
The certain elderly person
above mentioned was very
anxious listener to the debate on
the amendment, and when it was
defeated the expression on his
somewhat soIdierly face was any
thing but pleasant to behold. Who
is he anyhow, and what is his bust
ness here i?
