ing for long time, because no quorum
can be obtained. The last official act of
the chamber was to vote down proposi-
ton to donate funds to the entertainment
OF the Press Association. MANY have
dropped their membership because the
chamber has been turned into a chsnnel
which makes it more ornamental than use-
ful. No funds have been spent to anv ex-
tent TOR advertising or other useful pur-
poses. The business men of Whatcom pro-
pose TO organize a Board of Trade for bust
ness purposes.
The people of Whatcom county do not
indicate willingness to have the county
bonded for $500, 900 to build roads, A meet
ing has been called for Sept. 10, at Fern
dale, to oppose the bond proposition. The
arguments against it are that $500 900 is too
much debt to saddle upon the county for
roads to be made in any manner which the
commissioners, not yet chosen, may elect
that there is too much opportunity for
fraud and waste of funds; that designing
men could afford TO spend $4,000 each to
secure an election, and then make for.

wYoMINe's WEALTH.
Extracts From the Annual Message of
Governor Warren.

Wyoming has wealth in excess of
when admitted to the Union. The popula,
tion is sufficient and the development of
her natural resources will make her rich
and powerful member Of the American
sisterhood. There is s17s, 900 in the Terri
torial treasury. There is due from all
sources 81 800. The bonded Indebtedness,
payable 10 fifteen to forty years and bear
ing per cent. interest, amounts to $500
600. The assessed valuation Of all manner
Of property in the ten counties is $780,
600. Everything is listed on basis of 33511
per cent, making the actual wealth not
less than slOO,OOO,O0O. The aggregate
debt of counties, towns and school dis
tricts is $50, 900. These corporations have
s2,O00, 900 worth of property. ...
In the message the live stock business,
until few years since almost the sole sup
port Of all, is referred to as continuing to
be one Of the leading interests of the Ter
ritory." The condition of the industry is
quite prosperous. Cattle are free from
ranges.
Wyoming has sseventy-eight convicts and
insane at Joliet and Jacksonville, H., and
Golden, Colorado. A Territorial peniten-
tiary is in process of construction and the
new insane asylum is now ready to receive
patients.
There are no paupers in the Territory.
In two years the immigration commits
sioner, who receives no compensation for
IA 10 .,nI lNl -, 9;E
triouting advertising matter, and the re
suit has been entirely satisfactory.
Many irrigation companies are operat-
ing here and farming by this method is
successful. In extent Of irrigated lands
the Territory exceeds Italy by half. One
water company lately expended 500, 200 in
conducting water across the mountains
from river twenty-five miles away.
Two million tons Of coal were mined in
Wyoming last year. In its production
eight men were killed and fifty-two in
iured. No strike has occurred for nearly
three years. The average of tons mined
per man is greater than that of any State
that has compiled statistics.
There is a great diversity of mineral re
sources and products particularly in oil,
coal and soda, besides precious metals and
q great variety Of building stone. In addi-
ton 70 coal mines there are operated 800
other claims.
The Governor recommends alterations in
the school DAVIS that will put an end to the
establishment of districts and building of
school houses for the benefit of one, two or
three pupils. Every child eligible ought %
attend school, but it comes high.

A Fatal Initiation,

CINCINNATI. Jan. l5.-Masonic cir
cles are greatly agitated over the shock
ing accident at Huntington, W. Va, which
resulted in the death OF Rev. Mir. John
son, q candidate taking the royal arch de
gree. 1t is the first instance on record
where any accident of serious nature has
occurred in the ceremonies of that degree.
Mr.. johnson was the pastor of one of the
largest congregations in Huntington, and
outside of his immediate flock was also
held in the highest esteem. In the face of
the great and unexpected sorrow which has
befallen the lodge, its members have torn
aside as far as possible the veil shielding
the mysteries of the ceremony and explain
ed fully the details attending the accident.
One feature of the ritual occurs in what
is known as the dark room. This is an
apartment on the third floor. In the part
of the dark room is hook. 20 which is fas-
tened in the double block and tackle, with
the first block, which IS close to the cell
ing, while the second is near the floor and
directly over the trap. Beneath the lower
block hangs short loop, through the end
of which is passed short stick or bar.
This stick is straddled by the candidate,
his legs hanging on either side, while he
clutches the block with his hands and holds
himself in position. He is then lowered
into the vault by the members of the.
lodge.
The ceremony at this point is symbolic
of the search in the ruins of King Solo
mons temple. The vault represents the
ruins and the candidate one OF the party
making the search. .- -z
While Mr.. johnson was going through
this part of the ceremony the rope which
held him broke and he received a fall
that resulted in his death

Der 1st, 1890. 1t declares that a

A WARNING To THE
PUBLIC.

The Minister of the Interior has,
contrary TO law appointed John W.
kalua TO be an Agent to take &C
acknowledgements. The Minister'S at
tention has been publicly drawn to
the matter, and he has paid no at
tention TO it.
1t therefore becomes our duty to
warn the public that any acknowl-
edgments which Mr.. Kalua may
take by virtue Of such commission
Will be void. He is constitutionally
disqualified from holding any civil
office for two years from February
last, by reason of his election to
the Legislature; and the illegal act
of one or all of the Ministers can
not give him the right or power to
do what the Constitution says he
can not do.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-10-21

the House while it was in session.
The constitutional provision does
not allow of any such palpable
evasion as this.
Apparently, however, tho Minis
ter of the Interior has not heard Of
Article 20 Of the Constitution, for
although Mr., Kalua is constitution
ally prohibited from accepting q
Government office for two years
from last February, and Mr.. Spen-
Ger is constitutionallY prohibited
from making such an appointment,
Mr.. Kalua has been appointed by
Mr.. Spencer an Agent to take ac-
acknowledgements to Labor Contracts
for the District Of Wailuku.
We suspect, however, that Mr..
Spencer may have again been con-
sulting with the Finance Commit
tee as to his rights, powers and
duties, and that they have taken
him in with another of their "horse-
shed legal opinions.
Whether he has taken bad advice
or no advice at all has, however,
no bearing upon the rights of the
matter.
1t makes no difference that the
is to Il small office.
The principle is the same as though
Mr.. Kalua had been appointed q
Judge of the Supreme Court. 1t is
the first step, the entering wedge,
toward breaking down a whole
some constitutional provision.
The only lawful, honorable course
for Mr.. Spencer to follow is to recall
the appointment, if 1t was made in
advertently. If it has been made
and knowingly he is IN
luesuonably liable to impeachment
or violation of the Constitution.
