but great deal of the seed is lost in the
hauling, as il skaters out. With little
more experience the farmers will be able
to avoid this. The yield is a fair one,
though probably not as large as was ex-
expected. This is due, however to the
scattering out in harvesting, as stated
above.

position to the payment Of the bill On
the other hand Mr.. Hutchison thought it
the duty of the court to pay the bridge
tenders bill, Fourth street being a county
bridge. Messrs. Clark, Grub and Jolls
understood that the Cherry Island Com
pany had undertaken to pay the tenders
expenses for two months. Chairman
buckingham was under the impression
that it is the duty OF the court to pay for
all county bridge cxpenses,no rsatter what
other propositions arose.
Mr.. Sutton thought the introduction to-
day of the subpoena in the bill of complaint
would not justify the court in paking any
further expenditures in the matter,
Mr.. Hutchinson reminded the court also
that it had appointed committee to make
final and complete arrangements in regard
to the bridge. This was DONE and now
the bridge tenders bill comes in.
Mr.. Hickman reported that the bridge
tenders house is built that the bridge
lights are there, and all other matters are
completed.
On the vote the yeas and nays were
called, but 1t was unanimous yea. Ii
was ordered that the bill be paid and that

q CORRESPONDENT in this issue
is very much grieved because band
masters in Germany hardly get
enough to pay for their beer, while
in Honolulu a decent compensation
is given for the service rendered.
We are sorry for the German band
masters and wish the German gov
eminent were rich enough to pay
the five hundred thousand men in
its army handsome wages. That
it cannot do so is no reason why
Hawaii should starve its bapdmas-
ter. The pay of soldiers and officers
in Europe is not pretended to be a
fair equivalent for the time and
service rendered. Certainly no one

that these gay young gentlemen

CONCERNING Bands.

Mr.. EDITOR Military bands are
an appendix to military forces, and
as such they rank-as non-com-
missioned officers, and are paid as
such. The bandmen (Hautboists)
receive the pay and emoluments of
a corporal and the bandmaster
(Stabshautboist) that of sergeant,
and not more. Therefore the
monthly pay roll of band of 80
men, including IFS leader, would
come in Germany to about ZIG
thaler, or in American money to
1852 and this is about the rate for
military bands all over the civil
lied world.
Now compare with this the pay
roll Of your Hawaiian Military
Band. There, you find it headed
with $500 for a bandmaster and
footing up with the snug sum of
1890 per month a big difference
between 1852 and $500. Any
further comment is unnecessary.

The Appropriation Bill contains
but a small item of $4,000 for the
payment of the subsidy to the
Oahu Railway and Land Co. If
the proposed extension of the road
is begun next year, as it very likely
will be, a much larger amount will
be required, and provisions should
be made for its payment by the
insertion of an item in the bill.
There is, however, no reason why
any sum expended for this purpose
should go to swell the dreadful
totals of Section 1, for the item is
one for which money may legiti.
mately be borrowed and the fact
that yearly payments will be made
for some time does not make them
current" expense in the ordin'
airy sense. The amount already in
the bill should be transferred Il

REP. SMITH drew attention yes
terday to the extravaganza and
Encouragement which have run
riot in the Police Department dur
ing the last biennial period, and
denounced them in strong terms.
Rep. Bush spoke in the same
strain, "only more So" while a
change seems to have come over
the spirit of Reps. Ashford and R:
w. Wilcox. These gentlemen both
advocated an increase in the ap-
preparation for police, and the for
mer even insisted that the Attor-
ney-General should ask for more
money. His nerves are probably
grown frmer, and perhaps now he
positively enjoys it when a certain
gentleman shakes his fist in his
face.

Political Comments.

There is, however, danger ahead
for the now triumphant Democ-
racy. The tariff question is a most
delicate issue to handle. If the
reciprocity policy is scorned and
repudiated, and the principles of
the Chicago platform are enforced,
there is sure to be a reaction on
this issue. The public tendency is
toward moderation of the tariff
and freer trade, but it has not yet
been educated anywhere near to
the point where it views protection
as unconstitutional, and scorns to
claim reciprocal benefits from the
countries to which it opens it's
markets under a policy of freer and
not free trade. The country knows
Cleveland to be sound, sensible and
conservative on the great issues of
the day, and expects him, as an
honest, courageous and obstinate
man, to resist the retrograde tend
encies of certain elements in his
party. What he did in opposition
to party leaders in his first term as
President, with the natural desire
of denomination and reelection to
mould him to compliance with
partizan demands, will, it is ex-
pected, be more than duplicated in
the term in which his final record
is to be made and in which no dis
tracing thoughts as to another
term intrude. The friends of sound
money and civil service reform take
courage from their study of Cleve-
lands strong individuality. -

THE proposed item of $500 to
cover the amount supposed to have
been embezzled from the Postal
Savings Bank, came up again yes
terday, and reused considerable
discussion. The position taken by
Rep. Smith was a sound one,
although the House did not see fit
to adopt it. The payment of this
claim should be contingent upon
the finding of the Court that the
money was really embezzled or
not. If the money was converted
by person acting as the agent or
trustee of the depositor, the bank is
not in any way liable, and though
the depositor suffers in that case a
great hardship, there is no more
reason why the Government
should make his loss good,
than the losses of the sugar
planters or of any one else who
may happen to be clown on his
luck" We do not of course offer
any opinion as to the facts in this
particular case, but neither should
the House or the Cabinet, pending
an investigation by the Court.
The matter is already the subject
of judicial inquiry, and the results
of that inquiry should be awaited.
Rep. Ashford would have be-
haved with more delicacy if he
had made himself less generally
numerous" on this occasion. II
is hard to say whether he was act.
ing as the representative of his
constituents and as the guardian
of the Peoples rights, or as the
attorney of his brother and sisters
and cousins and aunts.

Expensive Telephone Abuse.

Users of the telephone are apt
not only to be impatient at the
apparent slowness of the central"
which is often unavoidable in the
press of business at the exchange,
especially at certain times of the
day, but to express their senti-
ments on the subject with uncom-
promising vigor. In Austria such
an indulgence may prove more
expensive than it would be in this
country. Recently in Vienna a
merchant who was anxious to
connect speedily with the CEN
trail was detained by a tenn
porary block ON the line. With
out waiting to find the cause of
the detention, he vented his ire by
speaking in uncomplimentary
terms of the s'ssTTiless of the oper-
ator at the exchange, who, of
course, heard it all. She said
nothing then, but a day or two
after the merchant received a sum-
mons for having used "abusive
and defamatory language" respect
ing the young lady, and on the
case being brought before the court
he was fined $50. These facts,
however, ought not to encourage
the dilatoriness often complained
of in Pittsburg.- Elk.

while being eminently practical.

troublesome, traced them to their

of sixty square feet. Finding that
eggs were deposited he sprinkled
four ounces of kerosene over the
surface of the pool. AT the end of
ten days it was covered with dead
insects, of which 7400 were count
ed Most of these were gnats, but
there were 81 female mosquitoes
