the Portigee wards. For that purpose
there was no one equal to Loquacious
Moses. "True," he continued, ''he is
not Portuguese himself, but he thinks
he can talk the language, and that gives
him great advantage. Most of the
Portuguese want an anti-Chinese man,
but l can pull the wool over their eyes.
Now, let's have a speech from the Hon
orable Loquacious Moses" All the time
that Cuspidor was talking about Moses
the latter sat looking down at the table,
blushing and picking at his coat, but
when he heard himself called upon for a
speech, be arose, and, with great show
of diffdence, began: Gentlemen, /
assure you your choice has fallen upon a
very unworthy person to represent you"
Fright you are, Moses" chimed in the
Scion from Waianae. "Shut up, you old
fool, +" yelled Cuspidor in a rage. AT this
point Moses, throwing away his mantle
OF modesty, again mounted the table,
yelling Doodle Boodlel" This soothed
Cuspidor's ruffled feelings so that he be-
came quiet, while the Scion t chuck
ling to himself. Order having been re-
stored, Moses resumed his speech:
Gentlemen, your nominations for Rep
resentatives have been made, and it is
now SO late that | propose that we meet
again to nominate Nobles." With one
impulse the assembly arose, without
waiting for the formality of a vote, and
walked away in little groups, talking
earnestly. As Flip Demarest passed
near where the reporter was sitting he
was heard to say, Rubbing it in a little,
aren't they Charley" But Charley
only remarked "umph," tipped his chm
aloft, and looked into dim futurity.

The following opinion ON the Neeles'
franchise /, y the Justices et the supreme
bench has been received by the Minister
ol Interior;
DEPARTMENT OF FnR lUplClARN, I
hoNolUl-p, Jan, ~, 1870,
10 His ENeelleney l., A, fhurston,
Minister OF the Interior,
SiR;-ln continuation OF our reply OF
the Goth inst, We beg leave TO answer
the remaining question as follows;
Second question. Ii an employee re-
eeives sum less than 5000 in amount
for the year, but receives from his en-
ployer his board and lodging is it allow
able TO consider the market value OF
such board and lodging as being part
OF such employees income, or are his
wages only to be the basis OF estimate +?
The language of the statute being like
wise the words of the constitution,
which is required to be construed in
giving an answer to the second question,
is that the voter for Mobiles "shall have
actually received an income of not less
than six hundred dollars during the
year next preceding his registration for
such election"
The one clear construction free from
embarrassment in its application to ali
cases which might be put would be that
the elector must have received six hun
dred dollars. There are no words indi-
eating that an equivalent or value may
be counted for the six hundred dollars
or a part thereof. The word actually"
is not necessary to the sentence. 1t is
qualifying word or word of emphasis,
and we regard its force to be that the
prescribed amount shall have been re-
ceived strictly in the terms OF the act.
Its purpose would seem to have been to
exclude all indirect modes OF counting
I'D the income to six hundred dollars.
In the constitution of 1864 the language
defining the qualification required in a
candidate for Representative is "or who
shall have an annual income of at least
two hundred and fifty dollars derived
from any property or some lawful en-
ployment,n and for an elector IAN
income of not less than seventy-tive
dollars per year derived from any
property or some lawful employ
ment." 1t is known that the opera
ton of these provisions was counter
vailed by allowing constructions which
reckoned income as something else than
"dollars actually received" notably by
the expedient OF counting subsistence as
income. 1t seems to us that the words
used in the present constitution were de-
signed to exclude such previous con-
structions.
When a departure is made from the
first obvious meaning of these words,
one is led to uncertain ground. A duty
would be cast upon the inspectors OF
election of determining "the market
value of board and lodging" What
board and lodging are worth depends on
the quality of them, which is very vary
ing. The more consideration we give to
the difficulties attending the questions
which arise when some other rule is
adopted than the simple one of "dollars
actually received" the more does it ap-
pear that this is the correct and proper
construction to be adhered to.
We therefore answer the first part OF
the second question in the negative.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-02-22

1t is quite evident that the republicans
intend to gel rid of the surplus, but not 10 a
way that will benefit the people. There is
no very promising prospect that they viii
reduce the revenues by reducing toe tariff,
and thus relieve tie treasury Of its unnec-
csssry Accommodations, but there is a very
strong probability that they will distribute
the public money so as to strengthen their
party and enrich their friends.
1t HIS cen announced that the next ap-
preparation for pensions viii be many
millions of dollars greater than it was last
year. The pension attorneys and lobbyists
are said to be so numerous in Washington
that they are in each others way. They all
have schemes for helping the poor soldiers,
but a little inquiry shows that their chief
object is to help themselves. If they do
not succeed in getting legislation from this
CO gress that will make the annual pension
burden at least $50, 100000 year keen Oh
servers at Washington will be greatly dis
appointed.
The subsidy lobbyists are on hand il full
force. The pan-AmerIcau congress was
convened in the interest of the subsidy
scheme. and. although it has not had the
| influence that it was expected it would, 1t is
being worked in behalf Of that scheme.
The fact that the Republican party owes its
return TO power to the free use of money
encourages those who have charge of the
subsidy movement to believe that it can be
depended upon to support that movement
heartily
The republicans have not shown their
purposes in detail yet, because they have
not got the majority in the House that they
want. When they have unseated about
dozen democrats, and seated as many re-
publicans, they will bring forward their
schemes, and, with the help of the speakers
arbitrary rulings, they will put through
measures that will make the surplus look
very small in comparison with the demands
upon it.
And in distributing the surplus the repub-
licans will take care that the bulk of it goes
where it will do their party the most good.
They will not waste any of it on their DO
litical enemies. They realize that the
struggle for the control of the next House is
going to be an extraordinary one, and they
are strengthening themselves in every way
they can.
According to reports, Washington is over
run with all sorts of people, who hope in
some way to get chance at the surplus.
They unders and that, with the govern
ment republican in all its branches, the
watch upon the treasury is not very strict
one, and that, with a speaker who is in har-
mony with the looters Of his party, it is not
going to bs a difficult matter to get at the
surplus.
