MaRsHAr,s Orr1cE. July g.

To His Excellency the Attorney Gen
eral:
Your ExCELLEEcY In reply to the
questions asked by the Hon. j. n. Ka-
pahu, have the honor to state:
/. During my incumbency the Govern
ment has received nothing as proceeds
from "spirituous liquors or opium revert
ed to the Government through the
judgment OF the courts OF this Kingdom. 4"
Prior to my incumbency, have no infor-
nation.
2. Almost all the spirituous liquors
seized on the other islands are destroyed
there by the sheriffs as also opium, when
in small quantities. Large quantities of
opium Is sent TO my care in Honolulu,
that is, during my incumbency.
3. 1t has not been sold at auction to
my knowledge. have now in my pos
session in the strong room at this office
about twenty gallons of liquor distilled
on the islands of Hawaii and Moickai
and forwarded to me by the sheriffs after
seizure.
4. don't know whether there is any
hesitation on the part OF the deputy
sheriffs or not in taking alcohol from
photographers.
Trusting that the foregoing answers
will be found satisfactory, have the
honor to be,
(Signed) CHAs. B. Wilson,
Marshal of the Kingdom.
Rep. Iosepa questioned the Attor-
ney-General concerning some II tins
Of opium stolen by two police officers,
who were afterwards discharged. l..
Why were not these officers prosecuted
by you for larceny of II tins of opium2
2. Was the discharge of officers ade
quate punishment according to the
criminal law? 8. Is it your practice
to simply discharge officers guilty of
larceny.
Rep. Kamauoha moved that the
answers of the Attorney-G General to
Kapahu be referred to the Printing
Committee, 1t is a very important
matter.
Rep. Waipuilani said that people in
Honolulu claimed that they had given
certain information and seizures were
made, but they were not paid. What
has become of the money?
Rep. Nawahi moved that COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the
records of district judges, to find out
the amount of opium eonfiscated for
the use of the Government. Two
years ago was attorney in an opium
case. We have been waiting ever
since for our share. We asked the
Marshal about the opium, and he re-
ferred us to the Board of Health, but
the latter disclaimed any knowledge
of the opium.
Rep. Iosepa favored printing the
answer of the Acknowledgement.
There is an opium scandal going the
rounds. AS soon as opium reaches the
hands of Government officials it dis
appears as if by magic. We have re-
Gently heard of opium turning into
bricks, poi and straws. 1t is said that
the stencil arising from the burning of
the bristles of the demi-god Kama
puaa was nothing in comparison with
the disagreeable smell of opium. The
Government officials have discounted
our Savior in the performance of
miracles. Therefore the matter re-
quires careful investigation.
The Acknowledgement said the
| question was whether there had been
any proceeds from the sale of opium.
The answer was ''no." There are 100

OYSTERS AND SEEDS

Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. ANY one can tell worth
less oyster on opening it. The value OF
a seed must be determined by its growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be OF value. There
is but one guarantee; the reliability OF
the firm from which you buy.

McKINLEY,s pRED1crIoN

In his speech at Detroit on Washing
toms birthday Governor Mckinley of
Ohio declared that the Democrats will
not be able to change page of the pres
ent tariff law in ten years. IN that
period the Republicans themselves Will
be prepared to make such a revision as
time and the conditions of trade may
demonstrate to be necessary. He re-
marked further that it would take
twenty-five years on the plan mapped
out by the present Democratic ways and
means committee to change any portion
of the bill. Governor McKinIey's pre-
dictions seem justified by his citation Of
the fact that William r. Morrison of
Illinois made the attempt to revise the
tariff, item by item, and that his face
has not been seen in congress since; that
DIR. Cleveland went strengthening in
1883, and came back shorn; and that Dir.
Mills, by advocating the complete over
turning of the present law, lost the
speakership and likewise the leadership
Of his party in the house. The declara-
ton of the governor that there has never
been square contest between protection
and free trade in this country where
protection has not won. is true to his
tory; and his prediction may be looked
upon as political axiom.

The determination of the Irvine COM
bine to raise the price of that article of
prime necessity the coming season will
no doubt have the effect to facilitate the
placing of Irvine on the free list by the
present congress. Or, the announcement
may be given out, without the authority
of the combine. for the purpose of afford
ing congress some sort of pretext for re-
moving the tariff. The fact is, the pres
ent duty is material reduction and is
the lowest rate that has been collected for
q long time, and if it is removed entirely
now, that could not materially affect the
price of Irvine to the consumer. Our
notion is that if congress were to devote
itself to perfecting the antitrust law and
providing for its rigid and vigorous en-
forcement, it would go a greater way to-
wards reducing the price of Irvine than
it can possibly by removing the nominal
rate Of duty now on it.

This is not an uncommon event, and
it was such volatility and like adolescent
waywardness that prompted Thomas
Carlyle to advise putting all young men
under upturned barrels and keeping
them there until they have passed their
majority.
OF course, the young couple awoke
from their delirious puppy-love They
parted. The wife took the baby and af-

tional columns of tho newspapers, Sc

JERRY SIMPSON RETURNS.

From the Washington Post.
Representative Simpson reached Wash
ington yesterday morning after rail-
road experience that threatened for a
moment to extinguish the light of the
Alliance party in Kansas. The train
upon which he was passenger ran into
a big rock in the mountains and the
engine, though not thrown off the track,
was badly injured and the front wheels
of the tender were torn from the truck.
The accident happened at the edge Of an
embankment and it was fortunate
thing that the train was not hurled
down the steep mountain side. Mr.
Simpsons narrow escape did not pre-
vent him, however, from speaking yes
terday in the most enthusiastic terms of
the convention which has just been held
in ST. Louis.
81 have attended many of these indie
pendent conventions" said he to a Post
reporter, ''but this last one seems to have
been the best in point of numbers, largest
representation, and the superior class of
people who composed it. NotwitEstand
ing all that was said about it in the pa
pers, it struck me as being a very har-
monious gathering hen all the diverse
interests present are remembered. 1t was
called for the purpose of formulating a
platform which should be the basis of in
dependent political action, and we &C
complished our purpose. The platform
was about as we expected, although |
would rather have had special plank
regarding the tariff. This subject. how
ever, appears in the preamble and will
be III the platform when we hold our
nominating convention"
"Was the feeling in favor of Third
party universal!
''There was apparently no opposition
to it, and we Will certainly put a third
party ticket in the field. We did not at
tempt to estimate the numbers who will
vote for such a ticket, but it is my belief
that we have votes enough to elect
president if we could only marshal them.
We cannot, am aware, get them all
out, but should not be surprised if the
next election is thrown into the house"
"What was the trouble with the Pro-
''The Prohibitionists," said Mr.. Simp-
son, with laugh, ''are very generous
and thoughtful set Of people. They
always come to every convention with
plank which they have written them
selves and which they want the conven-
ton to adopt. Many of our delegates
were in favor of prohibition,
but they did not see how the
question could be made to har-
monte with the conflicting interests in
the convection. see that Miss Willard
threatens to hold a convention and pass
platform and nominate a ticket They
haye our permission to do so. All last !
year the New York Voice was saying
that we were the John the Baptist crying !
in the wilderness and making good the /
way for the Prohibition party. The |
have found, however, |
that they cannot use us. If by getting !
millions of votes they can cure the evil |
of intemperance, or can reach the same |
end by stopping the rum traffic, / say, |
and will certainly never /
stand in their way. But our convention
thought about prohibition as it did about /
woman suffrage-that it would be a dis /
turbing element and should be avoided" |

PRACTICAL BENEFACTIONS,

Andrew Carnegie, the Pennsylvania
millionaire iron manufacturer, is very
liberal with his surplus money. He has
donated in the state of PENNSYLVANIA
81, 100000 for the Pittsburg library, 81
000,0 for the Pittsburg art gallery and
museum, $500, 900 for the Allegheny City
library, $780, 600 for the Carnegie library
at Braddock, $40, 600 for the Johnstown
library, besides 100000 for the EdIn-
burgh (Scotland) public library, and
more that for libraries at Dunfermline,
his birthplace, Ayr and other Scotch
towns.
These are monuments that will endure
long after the most costly shaft that
could be erected ever his grave should
crumble and disappear. And having thus
generously bestowed these munificent
benefactions, he might add to the i'm
mortality of his name and fame by de-
voting portion of his future surplus 10
the betterment of the social and material
condition of the army of toilers from
whose labor his surplus comes. There
are plenty of ways in which he could do
this: one is to establish pension system
for the relief and benefit of his employees
after a given age or term of service, or
in case of disability incurred while in
his employ. Such a precedent would
not only prove greatly beneficial to the
worthy needy, but would serve as a
great stimulus to all in his service to
perform more efficient labor; and at the
same time it would no doubt stimulate
other employers to adopt similar line
of policy.
