"WEBB" of the Boston Jonrnal has
made the interesting discovery that
Holman, the watchdog of the Treas
ury," has a son drawing fat salary in
the Geological Bureau, and that Mr.
Holman's failure to object to $500, 900
appropriation for that excellent institu-
tion is due to this circumstance. Mr..
Holman is not a consistent economist.

SOME of the newspaper reports of the
Methodist Conference at Omaha have
been little 'too previous" The re-
port that Bishop Foster favored the re-
moval of the ban upon dancing and thea
tre going, for instance, arose from the
fact that the Bishop presided at con-
ference which passed a memorial to the
General Convention in favor of such
action.

One can imagine What grand
ride we can have by what we already
have on the Volcano road. A ride
for 20 miles over such splendid
road. But 1 imagine that part built
by Marlin will wear the best, as it
has been built by more stone and
less earth used in filling up. The
rest of the road looks as well built,
but time will tell Marlin has been
weighed in the balance and not found
wanting. The work progresses slowly.
The camp will be moved soon to the
18th mile, and there it is said there
will be trail cut to the old road,
so that the ride on horse back Will he
considerably shortened. We hope
the new Legislature will order more
active work on the road and not con
tinue the agony so long.
1t is pleasant TO see so many home
steads on the line of the road. The
Halfway House is an institution
where passengers leave carriages for
horses, fifteen miles to ride over a
trail. The house is owned by Mr..
Mr.. j. R. Wilson, who provides the
carriages and horses by which to get
to the Volcano and return. Mr.. and
Mrs. Amaral keep the house and
grounds in splendid condition.
The floors are clean enough to eat
on them; the table cloth as white as
the whiJest snow, and good whole
some lunch provided for all passen-
gers going to and coming back from
the crater, with ample time to rest,
The house is two stories high with a
cook house adjoining. A large din
ing, or lunch room occupies the first
floor. On the second floor two rooms,
in which there are three beds, which
are also very clean and comfortable
looking. The hostess seems TO know
just how to wait on travellers, and
speaks English fuently. When it
becomes necessary the building will
be enlarged. There are ten acres
owned by Mr.. Wilson so that plenty
of vegetables can be raised for the
use of the house if in time it should
be desired. People would like to
stay at this pleasing locality for a
few days, if sufficient inducement is
offered them TO do so, When the
road is completed some people will
wish to walk the whole distance to
the Volcano, resting al the Halfway
House, and that will make it an in
ducement to add accommodations for
travellers.
The Edison monograph which
came here by last Kinau under
charge of Mr.. Stoeckle, and operat-
ed by him, is drawing crowds of peo-
pie who are greatly delighted and
filled with wonder, for it is truly
wonderful invention. 1t reminds one
of the old saying that wonders will
never cease. The Hawaiians are
going wild in their praises of it and
the operator is employed all the time.
l imagine that before he leaves here
every man, woman and child will
have seen it, as his charge is within
the means of all. At present he
occupies a store. Will exhibit at
court house and at private houses
when desired.

The Ring Was
In His Boot |!

An interesting incident oc-
Cured at wedding in Nyack,
N. Y, recently, says the AL
bany Argus. All went mer-
rily until the bridegroom was
called upon to produce the
wedding ring. In vain he
felt in his trousers pocket
for the Indispensable article.
Nothing could be found ex-
cept a hole, through which
the ring had evidently fallen
into his boot. What was he
to do?
'Take your boot off," said
the parson. The suspense
and silence were painful.
The organlst, at the doml-
nie's bidding, began a "vo-
luntary.'
The young man removed
his boot, the ring was found,
also a hole in his stocking,
|
and the minister remarked,
evidently with more than the
ceremony in mind, "Young
man, it is time you were mar
ried.'

HEATHEN REACTION.

The Hawaiian Board department
in the Friend contains this confess
sion: ave must take our share of
the blame for the late outbreak on
Lanai, for the few people of that
island have for years been left to
themselves almost unvisited of any
Christian workers."
And this is an item referring to
Honolulu.
"Another class of people in their
way quite as isolated from good in
fluence as we're those Lanai natives
are some of our sailors of the coast
trade nine of these men are sup
porting a hula master and kahuna.
He has his pa hula (hula quarters)
not over a mile in straight line from
the Post Office. One of the girls he
is instructing is a member of one of
our public schools. A native being
asked if they went to any of our
churches, said, "No, they are wild,
they are Mormons, and one of them
has been to Salt Lake City" In
connection with this hula school
situated in our town the worship of
the god Laka is carried on, the in
spiration of his spirit being neces-
sary to the proper and successful
prosecution of the work"

vote for Harrison, and such declara-
ton might have it's effect, unless coun-
teracted. But when the president
orders 'possum and sweet potatoes,
every negro voter is expected to forget
all grounds of disaffection and come
cheerfully to the support of the ticket
Apart from its effect upon the negro
voters, there is peculiar propriety in
the Introduction of the 'possum as the
representative of the republican policy
of protection and reciprocity. The sa-
lient characteristic of the 'possum is so
we'll known that it has enriched our
language with the word ''possuming'
rs a synonym of Discrimination. 1t is,
therefore, the best of all symbols of
republicanism. The whole republican
creed is but an example of "'possum-
ing" When republicans talk of PRO
lection" they are only 'possuming;"
for they do not mean protection at all,
but spoliation of the many for the ben
eft OF few. When they speak of rec
iprocity, they wink the other eye, for
they propose so to limit it that it will
give cheap goods only to foreigners; it
is 'possum policy from beginning to
end.
The labels of protection" and ''rec-
iprocity' have only to be put upon a
couple of 'possums to tell the whole
story. The idea was genuine inspira-

ating Blaine, and the president, press
ing his reward, was willing to overlook
the fact.
Upon different grounds the appoint
ment of Foster to the state department
chieftaincy is as wretched a selection
as was the appointment Of Steve Ell
kins to the head of the war depart
ment. There is a statute of the United
States forbidding the appointment of
an importer as secretary of the treas
ury. This law, based upon the idea
that the head of the treasury controll.

tariff laws ought not to be tempted by
his interests to declare for himself, de-
feated Grants purpose of making AL,
exander Stewart, great dry-goods
merchant of New York. secretary OF
the treasury. No similar law was
thought necessary in the case of sec
rotary of state, nobody dreaming that
a president of the republic would think
of placing at the head of the American
state department the paid attorney OF
various foreign governments.
But Foster was an instrument in the
humiliation of Blaine, and Harrison
places him in Blaine's official shoes

Harrison's Adviser Suppiants the Plumed

The one person who since his retire
ment from public life has ventured to
put open affront upon James G. Blaine
is his former chief, Benjamin Harrison.
The president has named as the sue
cessor of Mr.. Blaine in the state de-
partment factotum of his, one John
w. Foster. of Indiana, whom he used
as an instrument to drive Blaine from
the state department, the portfolio OF
which is now given to him. Mr.. Eos
ter was the presidents adviser regard
ing Chilli and the Behring sea contro-

a candidate for the presidency, he chose
to hold him at arms length and delib-
erately humiliate him. His friends,
gaining their cue from only one imagin-
able source Landed Harrison for the
work of the state department. That
work was done extraoficiously by
Foster, who now has his reward. For

Ehs Peculiar Propriety of the Presiden-
thai Preference.
President Harrison recently ex-
pressed a desire for 'possum. Although
Mr.. Harrison is not much of humorist,
the circumstances under which the
wish was expressed would have justi-
FED the belief that the remark was
only bit of pleasantly. The wishes
of a president, however. are commands
to the Office seekers; and the publica-
ton of the remark brought quick
response. Some Maryland republican
sent to the president by express two
young 'possums, with red, white and
blue ribbons about their necks. one
marked Protection" and the other
Reciprocity
This is supposed to have been a mas
ter stroke of political management. 1t
Is accepted as an advertisement of the
fact that Mr.. Harrison is fond of pos
sum, and this is expected to be worth
many votes to him. Every darky's
heart is expected to thrill with admira-
ton when he learns that the republican
candidate for the presidency is fond of
'possum. To be sure, the colored troops
have been fighting nobly in the repub-
liean column all along, but it seems
that something is now deemed neces-
sary to rouse their enthusiasm. There
have been many murnurs of discomfort
lately. Prof. Langston has declared
that no self-respecting colored man can

THE IDAHO WAR.

Later Particulars From the Troubles at
C9ur d'A1ene-The Situation Still Serious
United States Troops to Take Hand.
WALLACE, Idaho. July ia careful
estimate places the number of deaths in
the mining riot at Occur d'Alene at
seven and the wounded at fourteen.
Union and non-union men make up the
death roll The total loss by the ex-
plcsion of the Frisco mill will be $685.
900.
Campbell, mine owner, states that
he has received information that the
strikers have loaded the non-union
mines near Wardner with giant powder
and threaten to blow it up if non union
men go to work.
The majority of the non-union miners
quit and either joined the strikers or
have been huddled off on the roads to
other parts of the country.
The sheriff made an effort to collect
posse and go to Wardner on special
train. He notified all citizens known
to be in active sympathy with the mine
owners to report at 10 o'clock, but when
the sheriff started only one citizen re-
ported. Armed bodies of miners went
from Wallace all the evening.
The situation is serious at Wardner.
The non union miners in Bunker Hill
and Sullivan have not yet come out.
Private information states the union
men have 500 pounds Of giant powder
with fuse attached and will set it off
soon if the non-unionists do not come
out.
A message from Washington stated
that the president had ordered that fed
eral troops be sent to the scene Of the
miners troubles in Idaho, and Gen.
Schofield has ordered Gems. Ruger and
Merritt to send troops there.
The union men and the owners of
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines held a
meeting last night President OBrien,
of the union, gave his ultimatum to the
mine owners as follows:
s'A1 non-union men must leave the
state at once or the mine will be blown
up and an attack on non-union miners
commenced
The mine owners to gain time agreed
to discharge all non-union men within
forty-eight hours.

STOCK ITEMS

Cattle, no more than any other class
OF stock, will thrive best on one kind OF
feed
Full feeding Of sweet. wholesome
food, adopted TO growth rather than
fat, is most desirable
It always pays to handle the sows suf-
ficiently to keep them gentle 1t may
be necessary to handle them sometimes
When the sows are put to breeding
as early and as often as nature viii re-
spond. Ill development is the inevitable
result
The pigs intended for exhibitions this
fall should be separated from the rest
of the herd and be given special care
and feed
Do not breed for more fall pigs thans
can be wintered over to a good aovant-
age They must be kept growing all
winter
Care must be taken not to change the
food of sow that is sucking too sud-
denly, as such course is liable to pro
duce scours
One reason why mutton has remained
poor in quality Is that too many farm
ers do not keep the breeds OF sheep that
make the best mutton
Valuable lambs viii always pay for
the best possible attention and feed,
and the little details OF management
should be carefully looked.
AT the outside the pig that is farrowed
IN March should be ready to market not
later than December. Wintering over
a spring pig is usually improbable.
Give sheep at least fair chance. On
the average farm it is as necessary as
the COW, the horse or the hog in utiliz-
ing the farm products to the best dd-
vantage.
When not too far from market with
proper management the raising OF early
lam can be made profitable. But to
secure the best profit it is necessary to
arrange in advance. One important
item Is the selection and breeding OF
the ewes. These should be well ma
tured, vigorous and thrifty
During the summer. in many cases. is
the best time to market sheep. Old
cows are another class of stock that, as
a rule, it is not profitable to feed grain
in order to fatten for market. They
should be put in as good condition as
possible with good pasturage and then
marketed But IL nearly all cases with
young cattle and hogs it will pay 10
finish with good feeding on fattening
ration for at least a short time before
sending to market
1t is only in exceptional cases that it
will be best to fatten any kind OF stock
| during the next six weeks Or two
months. One of the essential items in
fattening stock of any l>ind is to have
| them comfortable, and this cannot al
ways be done to the best advantage at
| this time. An animal may readily be
| kept in good thrifty condition in sum-
mer, but if made fat is certain to suf-
fer more or less from the heat and of
course will do as well as it should.
