When this ticket Is made let that be an end to tickets, and lets have but one, and go to the polls in September a solid phalanx of white American citizens, and elect it, determined for eyermore that this is white mans, government, and that we will have no more ignorant and incompetent officers, and nc more strife over elections.
 Can you picture any thing for the public good that will give you more genuine pleasure? Can you. think of any thing for the public welfare that will give your wife and children more pleasure and comfort, and that will re- lieve them of a greater load? We think not.
 Such solution as we have given is fair and honorable, and just and equita- ble, and there is no apparent reason why 1t should not be adopted. We know, however. that there aie many solomons and that perhaps every man in that mass-meeting will have dif- ferent solution. If all are offered none will be successful. Would it not be well to agree upon ONE? This is just what MUST be done, or we are as far from the climax as when the idea was first suggested by TiIE TIMES. Read this solution over again, and if you think it will possibly bring about the desired result, endorse it and stick to 1t in the uassmeeting.
 With best wishes for all the people, we sincerely hope our local differences and anim0siiies will HOW soon be ob- liberated, and that we may come to gether and work together for evelmore, is our sincerest and best Il esi ire.

The Japanese Mission.

The japanese Christians, who have
had for the last year Rev. Mr.. Hasu-
gawa as their acting pastor, gathered
at the Lyceum Saturday evening,
with few invited guests, to bid him
farewell. He goes on the next
steamer to Drew Seminary to com
plete his studies. Appreciative ad-
dresses were made in acknowledge
ment of his faithful services. His
successor, Rev. Mr.. Sasaki, who came
by the last steamer, was recently en-
gagged as instructor in the Chinese
classics in the university at Los
Angeles. DIR. Wada has also joined
the band of Christian workers as a
medical missionary. Mr.. Suda has
gone to Kauai to assist Mr.. Suna-
motu there. Mr.. Kaburangi is not
yet located. Addresses were also
made by Rev. Messrs. Hyde and
Fisher. More workers are needed
to look after the welfare of the
1880 Japanese laborers now en-
ployed on the sugar plantations. A
recent letter from Japan says:
GA japanese who has recently re-
turned to Japan from Hawaii says
that of all the laborers hitherto en-
ployed in that country the Portu-
guese show the greatest endurance

remember all that was in the affidayits
or letters, but he did recollect that some
OF the postmasters gave Communications
of the postal system which were left out
in the printed document. Besides this
being an insult TO the committee and TO
the House, il was a one-sided report of
the evidence.
Rep. Brown supported the motion to
refer the report back. In the first place,
the committee had no jurisdiction to
take the statements of clerks. They
were appointed to consider the items of
pay OF postmasters, OF clerks. and OF mail
carriers. The committee examined the
clerks entirely on the strength OF COM

were in open rebellion against their
superior. Ii be had charge of any office

forced on the stats of public offices there
could be no efficiency in the service rem
dered the public. The action of the COM
mittee was discourteous 10 the Printing
Committee. The evidence and letters
could only have been legally printed by
order OF the House. Would the House
have had to pay for printing pages of the
Opium Committees testimony, collected
by the chairman on his own responsible
ity? He said no. The action of the
chairman may have been only a mistake,
but he submitted that the report should
be returned to him.
Rep. White was in favor of the report
of the majority The atfidavits were
valuable, as showing the basis of the
conclusions. Members were trying to
shield the Postmaster-General. The hon.
member for the first district thought If
the Postmaster swore at the clerks. the
| clerks should get out. He thought it
| should be the other way. daughter
The Finance Committee had heard COM
plants about the Postmaster General s
conduct, but considered it was out of
| their province to report thereon.
The House adjourned at noon.

THE quarterly statement of the
Minister of Finance, published to-
day, shows the receipts and expen-
ditures of the Government during
the three months ending September
30. The receipts for the quarter
have been s343, s3s.O2 from current
receipts, and s34, 9OO.s4 from Postal
Savings Bank, making total OF
s37s,73s.s6.
The current expenses for the
quarter were s404, 1888, which in
Guided $4,000 repaid to Savings
Bank depositors.
The balance of cash in the trea-
sury September 80 was s3SO,355.49
against $4O6, 1896 on the Both OF
June.
The Savings Bank deposits are
treated as public debt, the same
as any money borrowed by the
Government, and are payable on
demand or on short notice. They
constitute a preferred claim on the
Government, and are therefore pre-
ferable to bonds, which are pay
able only on maturity.
The Customs receipts show a
considerable increase over those OF
any previous quarter, and amounted
to s171,062.51. This is a healthy
omen. as it indicates an increase in
our foreign and domestic trade.
On the whole, the public finances
appear to be in a satisfactory con-
dltion, showing no large, but 8
steady increase. The taxes for the
current year have begun to come
in, as the report shows, and under
the operation of the law of 1885
will probably show some increase
over last years receipts, as those
of 1889 showed an increase O.
nearly $4,000 over the previou:
year of 1888. That law was I'm
doubtedly the most perfect of any
yet enacted here.

to stop the leaks. Two divers descend

time, gave up the search. They sue

doors Then Engineer Moore used q
novel method of finding the leaks. He
secured number of water rats and tied
long pieces of oakum to their tails,
caught in the middle by piece of wire.
The rats were then forced into the
caisson through the air pumps. The
rats. following the current of air, found
the leaks, and, passing through the
crcvasses, left the oakum behind. This
stopped the ingress of air to enable the
pumping to proceed with success.
