European Silver.

Nh. EDITOR: The extract in
your mornings paper from the last
speech of the eminent and lamented
Secretary Window, contains an
assertion which seems to me diff
cult to reconcile with fact.
"The stock of full legal tender
silver in Europe amounts to s1,101,-
100000. A large part of
these vast stocks of silver would
be ready for transfer to us at
once" for recoinage, on the pas
sage of the " Free Silver Coinage "
Law.
That any spare Bullion, would
be so transferred, is not improb-
able. But it's hard to understand
how "legal-tender" coin could be
so recoined without loss. Take
French ive-franc pieces. These
possess legal value, available for
general retail trade, little greater
believe, relatively to their IN
trinsic value, than American dol
lars possess. The loss would be
about two per cent by recoinage.
Is it not evident that not single
French silver coin would be "ready
for Transient" And, 1 apprehend,
not one English, German, Aus

A Soft Snap.

An Iowa Court has rendered a
decision of far-reachlng nature.
An ingenious youth tied thread
to nickel, dropped the nickel in a
slot machine, got what he wanted,
then, withdrawing the nickel, re-
peated the operation until he had
made clean sweep of the recepta-
cle's contents. He was charged
with theft: but the Judge held that
the defendant had merely done
what the inscription Oh the ma
chine told him to do-dropped a
nickel in the slot-and had kept on
doing 1t. Nothing was said about
leaving the coin where it was drop
ped. The youth was therefore set
free.

Provisions of the Pacific Gable
Bill Considered in Senate


The bill now before the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations
provides for a cable between San
Francisco and Honolulu, and via
Samoa to Auckland. The bill names
as the incorporators of the COM
pany William Alvord, Samuel L.
Alexander, Charles R. Bishop,
Hugh Craig, William 81. Dimond
and Edward B. Pond, of San Fran
cisco; Asabel Bush, James B.Mont-
gomery and David P. Thompson,
of Oregon; Admiral W. r. Shufeldt
and Alfred T. Hartwell.
The bill provides that for the
term Of fifteen years after the open
ing of the line the United States
| shall pay to the company a yearly
sum of 100000. for which consid-
Grafton all messages of the United
States shall be transmitted free of
charge and have priority of all
others. An officer of the United
States navy shall be member OF
the Board of Directors, and in case
of war the government may assume
entire control of the line.
The Hawaiian government has
agreed to grant the company valu-
able concessions and a subsidy OF
S25, 900 per year.
The estimated cost of the line
from San Francisco to Honolulu is
$3,5OO,OOO. The promoters of the
enterprise claim it will be impos-
sible to realize percentage upon
their investment without govern
ment aid for few years and until
the line is extended. The first ex-
tension proposed is via Samoa to
Auckland, where connection would
be made with the cable now in
operation between Auckland and
Australia.-[N. Y. Herald.

THE political situation remains
unchanged. 1t is rumored, and we
are quite confident that the rumor
has some foundation, that a new
Cabinet has been named by the
Queen to take possession of the
Ministerial portfolios whenever
possession can be secured. In other
words, the attempt is being made
to force the situation by an assump-
ton of authority which once Sc
secured will permit a change of
Cabinet as often as it may please
the Sovereign to make it.
Can it be possible that the ad-
visers of the Queen intend to foment
a revolution by encouraging what
can only be viewed as revolution
airy act? Many believe that the
Constitution designed to forbid the
dismissal of Ministers. except at the
motion of the Legislature, and that
the removal without cause of a
Cabinet approved by that body is
a revolutionary act, and as such
calculated to unsettle business OF
every kind. 1t has been asserted
that politics is game in which the
strongest wins. If the Crown is to
enter again in such a struggle with
the people, there can be but one
result-the end of our boasted peace
and security, and perchance of self
government also.
1t is understood that this ques
ton OF the right of the Queen tt
remove the Cabinet created under
the Constitution has been referred
to the Judges of the Supreme Court
but so far as is known, no answe,
has been given by that body
Whatever decision the Bench ma,
give, the result will be of vast i'm
portance to the future of Hawaii
opening afresh struggle which /
was hoped had been forever set
tied, or strengthening a peac
which was secured only after
desperate effort.

About the Hawaiian M0rmons.

About the Hawaiian M0rmonS.
Mr.. EDITOR: In the supplement
to your issue on the 10th instant,
under the heading of Disguised
Mormons, there are some state
ments that l wish to refer to, with
view of stating some facts. That
quite a number of Hawaiians have
joined the Church of Jesus Christ
OF Latter-day Saints, and that a few
of them have emigrated to Utah, is
a fact, and that when they were at
Salt Lake City they Jared we'll is
no doubt also fact. Hundreds of
people from all of the civilized ma
tons, who have received the Cos
pei and have gone to Utah, can
bear a similar testimony Of their
experience. When they arrive
there they find men and women of
the same faith who receive them as
brethren and sisters no matter
of what nationality they may be.
One of the articles of our faith re-
quires us to Z" do unto others as we
would they should do unto u.s."
" But when they were removed to
another town, about sixty miles
away, they were treated like prIs-
oners. not being paid for their
services, and not even receiving
any pecuniary help whatever"
The facts are, they were assisted
to move to this new place because
they desired to procure homes
and land that because of high
prices, they could not procure in
Salt Lake City. On arriving at the
City of Joseph, under the direc-
ton of men of their choice they
commenced to build houses to
dwell in.
The arrangement amongst them
is that those who labor are to re-
ceive, some ten, some fifteen, up to
thirty dollars per month each for
their services. That portion OF
their earnings that they wish is
drawn for the support of their
families regularly, and the remain
der is applied on payment for thei1
houses and land that they occupy
That some few of them may desire
to return to their native land may
be true. l cannot say,
That there is an overwhelming
majority of them who have deter
mined to remain there, is also
truth. Not because they fear they
cannot overcome their sense o
shame" but because from choic
they have adopted that land TO
their future home. The industriou
Hawaiians who are in Utah ar
contented and comfortably situate'
in their homes. These are fact
that can be proved from correspon
dence forwarded to us and to thei
friends here. That the " Mormo
} Elders are IN this country paint
, ing Utah, or any other country,
the promised Zion for people t
feast their imagination upon, is nc
a fact. Neither is it fact tina
they are persuading any class
3 people to sell their lands and 60
, that country.
E The fact is the Mormon Elders
teach the people the pure principle
of salvation as they were taught b
e our blessed Lord Jesus Christ an
o His Disciples. If the faith of an
h who receive our testimony promp
o them to gather out to Utah, to tt
Church there, they are not forbi'
e den but encouraged to do so.

INTENSIVE FARMING,

We doubt not that the pre-
ponderating and most effective
cause of the improved con dition
OF a majority OF farmers is to be
found in the fact that more
acres, more attention, more
manure and better work have
been devoted to growing supply
crops. Farmers themselves have
all alone been preaching ibis
policy to.each other; but, like
the signboard at the fork OF
the roads, they have too often
merely pointed out the true
ROAD to others without any eff
fort to walk therein.
Many have excused them
selves for planting heavily in
cotton. and dangerously CON
Itracting the area in food crops.
by the plea Of debt and the
necessity imposed on them by
creditors. The recourse for all
such farmers is to buy nc more
on time. It would be far bet
ter to mortgage the land for
money with which to pay cash
for supplies, and then farm &C
cording to the dictate - OF sound
reason. The leading idea, tla
ve:y essence, Of the vocation of
farming should De to make
plenty of meat and bread
prosperity coming from the ac-
cu mutations and surplus, and
from the enhanced value of
land growing out of such a
policy.
In the case of man. farms
throughout the South it would
be found expedient to throw
out Of cultivation considerable
areas nf land, to be partially
renovated and improved By the
slowe.- and less costly processes
Of nature, while the expense of
labor and fertilizers should be
applied 20 tracts that are I'm
better condition, aud would
prove more responsive TO efforts
of INTEL gent skill. There are
doubtless many thousands OF
acres o. land annually cultiva-
ted Ill cotton each year which
not only yield np profit but en-
tail ali absolute loss in cu!tiva-
ton. my ordinary observer
can recall numbers OF fields, Or |
large parts of fields, that have |
fallen under his own eyes, of |
which the yield % cotton has |
uot been at the rate ulore than

JUDGE PETER AND THE SOUTH.

Judge PETER, who is to sue
coed John J. Ingalls, in the Uni
ted States Senate, recently eX-
pressed hins elf in regard to the
race problem in the following
manner:
"The race issue is for the
Southern people TO settle among
themselves. If we had it in
Kansas we would resent inter-
terence from outside. 1t is not
a Northern or Western issue,
and the LeOple wEo are face to
face with its difficulties should
be let alone in their methods of
dealing with it. | have lived
in a Southern community, and |
know what the problem is. Let
it alone, and the two races will
come TO agreement for mo- sat
isfactory, intellectually, moral
ly, and i'll every other way. than
any that can be forced by Fede-
raj legislation or Northern lee
turing"
Kansas is be congratulated on
her change of Senatorial 1ep-
svntation, and the question is,
what has brought about such a
change? 1t was the farmers in
demanding a hearing as to their
selection of law-ma kers, Dy
whose enactments we must
abide. The Farmers Alliance
did there as it should elsewhere
join in unity with the outside
Democracy and fight the sup

cupants equal rights and I'D
