A HONOLULAN CRISIS.

While the mass of newspaper readers
have had their attention concentrated on
the development of the war spirit
among the leading nations of Europe,
the political sky of the Hawaiian is
lands has become obscured with darkly
threatening clouds. Latest advices
from King kalakaua's capital are of a
sufficiently startling nature. When the
government of the islands in its pursuit
of modern ideas equipped itself with a
brand new cabinet and house of repre-
sentatives all after the latest and most
approved fashion, it found itself pretty
much in the position of the unfortunate
who won white elephant in rattle and
could not tell what in the world to do
with the brute after he had got it.
Party government became necessity
but in the absence of any possibility OF
foreign complications and in view OF
their primitive modes of life that rem
dered disagreement difficult, there was
great fear Of the inability of any party
to formulate platform that could meet
with opposition. All this is changed

The base ball fever is rapidly spreading
in Helena.

It is said that Pete Gondolfen, the cap
tain of the Athletics, is q frst-class pitcher.
The real estate men met last night and
organized a ball nine and are willing to

lowing relative to the American Derby:
"Tom Kiley, who piloted Spokane to vic

Barnes was on the Santa Anita colt Santi-

the Montana colt. The Montana colt was
badly ridden. Hazlitt comes from the Pa

have landed Ben Kingsbury second"

PART SIX of the twentieth annual re-
port of the Massachusetts bureau of
statistics of labor is devoted chiefly to
the hours of labor Of workers in the in
dustries of that state. In spite of the
general tendency to shorten the hours
of daily toll, it appears from statistics
collected by the bureau that ten hours
is the length of the working day in the
greater number of industrial establish
ments. Those in which eight hours is a
days work number less than three per
cent of the whole. Nine hours consti-
tutes days work in only two and thir-
ty-six one-hundred,hs per cent of the
whole number of establishments. The
report shows that while the employment
of women and minors in the factories
has undoubtedly tended to decrease
wages, there is also an unmistakable
tendency in such establishments to
shorten the hours of daily labor for all
In the textile industries, where the great
err number of employees are women and
children, there has been general short
ening of the working day.

of base ball enthusiasts, we cannot re-

ant subject
So far as tho game itself is con-
cerned, the dusky islanders are in its
favor to man, to woman, to a child.
No, the game itself is at the very zenith
Of popularity and should the present
war scare pass over we may reasonably
look forward to ball game for the
championship of the amateur world be-
tween Yale and Harvard and repre-
sentative nine from the university of
Honolulu. II the game took place at
the latter city, the umpires insurance
premium would rise very fast. The
trouble is that the bloated capitalist has
been getting in his work. He wants a
charter for base ball team and proposes
to repay himself for his outlay by rails
ing an eight-foot fence around the dia-
mond and charging an admission fee.
The government has come boldly for
ward to the defense of the outraged in
habitants. Never while they occupy
their responsible positions shall the lib
critics of their constituents be thus tri-
fled with. A charter can be had but
there are conditions. There must be no
talk of fence that will deprive the
Honolulan youth Of expressing their ap-
probation or their disgust by shouting
the Hawaiian for traits" The bloated
capitalist and his equally bloated friends
may blow in five cents for seat in the
aristocratic quarters of the grand stand
but the Hawaiian freeman who is not
yet millionaire must be at full liberty
to witness the American game without
money and without price. They 60 a
step further and secure forever the I'M
swervng allegiance Of the ladies by
declaring that no charter will be forth
coming unless the bloated capitalist re-
serves in his grand stand free seats for
the dusky bellies OF Hawaii. Such, in
brief, is the trouble among King Kala-
kaua's people and the student of history
will admit that from trifling causes have
sprung great wars. Whether the cause
of liberty and the people will triumph
or whether the bloated capitalist will by
means of his money overthrow the pres
ent party in power and work his own
wicked will, time alone will show.

The difficulty in getting accurate sta
tistics on any subject is well illustrated
by tho difference in the estimates of the
coinage of gold in 1892 as compared
with the two preceding years, The
English deputy master Of the mint, in
his report just issued. gives the worlds
coinage in 1889 as sl6s,OOO,OOO. and he
figures the increase at S43,OoO,OOO over
1883, and at s53,OO0,OOO over 1887. The
director of our mint, on the other hand
estimates the coinage last year at &c.,
900, an increase of s33,OOO.OOO as
compared with 1883, and at S43,OOO,O0O
as compared with 1887. Here is wide
margin of difference, which it is difficult
TO adjust.

We print in another column pretty
sharp lecture to President Harrison by

which contains great deal of whole

son has been complaining to friend
that the members of his party are I'M
grateful and find fault with him unnec-

gests that Mr.. Harrison has no right to
complain of ingratitude SO long as he
has never in a single instance shown
himself grateful for honors conferred
upon him or services performed in his
interest. Like the misanthropic old mil

son "cares for nobody, not he; because
nobody cares for him." This is truly

IMPROVEMENTS URGED.

Mayor Downham will at an early day, unless
some action is taken in reference to the occu-
patton of Henry street by railway tracks, call
further attention to the alleged illegal occu-
pancy of the street. He will insist that at
least the money now paid by the Danville COM
pany to the Pennsylvania company for the use
OF tracks that street shall be paid to the city
authorities and used for the improvement of
the street. He is also pressing on public atten-
ton the need of system of sewers. Several
companies from abroad have written here ask
ing the right to place sewers under the city and
charge for their use, but this plan is not con-
sidered to be good policy for the public.
AFTER THE STORM.
When the storm abated Yesterday and DAM
ages were summed up it was found that two
roofs had been carried off. one at Smoot's lum-
Der Office on the river side and another at the
dwelling of Mr.. II. W. Wheat on Prince street
Sheds and fences had been blown down at
Shoots tannery and the schooners Sarah Ann
and H. ID. Smoot and Saratoga were sunk on
the riverside. The gale also damaged shutters,
fences, chimneys, DC, in all sections of the
city. 1t is thought that 5000 will not cover
the loss. On the river below this CITY last
night both the small steamers Occoauan and
Alton were disabled and run ashore.

coins be issued, which shall be uniform in
weight and fneness and which may be used in
all the countries re: resented in tins confer

The recommendations having been adopted

The Bill to Establish Separate once Of the
War Department.
bill is now being considered by the mill
tary affairs committee Of each house of Con-
gress for the establishment Of the record and
pension Office Of the War Department. The
bill provides that the record and pension divi-
sion 90 now organized in the
office Of the Secretary Of War
shall be established a. . separate office, and
authorizes the President to appoint the officer
nov in charge of the division, Capt. F. C. Aims
worth, surgeon, U.S.A., to be q colonel in the
army and chief of the office, who, under the
Secretary Of War, shall have charge of the
service and hospital records Of the volunteer
armies and the pension and other business Of
the War Department connected with them.
The House bill was introduced by Represent
alive Cutcheon and the Senate bill BY Senator
German. 1t il understood that the bill has the
approval Of the War Department.. 1t is gen.
orally thought Niat DR.. Ainsworth. who has
made wonderful change for the better in the
system Of giving out information from the
records Of the War Department, deserves this
elevation, and that the business Of the
office will be expedited by the re-
organization. His recent report Of the
work accomplished by the division was a COM
plete justification Of his radical methods of
reform, which were at first the objects of
severe attacks by those employed under the
old system. aud today his entire force Of over
600 men works like machine, with the most
perfect harmony.
