The provisional government of Hawaii IL
stronger today than it was before the pub
LEGATION of Secretary Gresham's letter.
The letter provoked an expression of opin-
ion from every paper and every public
man in the United States, and the provis-
ionsl leaders saw at once that they were
supported by the great mass of Americans.
The strength shown by the Hawaiian gov
eminent proves the falsity of Biount's re-
port. which stated that IL was not repre-
sentative of the people of the islands. Two
steamers will arrive from Honolulu this
week. and the president will send q mes
sage to congress. The Hawaiian question.
therefore, is likely 70 overshadow all other
matters and may tend to postpone the tar
III hght until next year.

THE wonsnIr OF WEALTH.

Bishop Potter, OF the Episcopal church.
In one Of his letters depiored the steady
and increasing worship Of wealth In New
York city and denounced II as Responsible
for deal OF moral. political and eeonom-
zeal mischief Bishop Potter told the
sIuple truth when be said that the popu-
lar hero In tho city to young men and
women was not the exponent Of piety, oil
philanthropy and purity; not the scholar
nor the soldier or statesman. bus the sue

late Senator Stanford. who treated politi-
cal honors as nothing but line OF stocks

late DIR. Beard, Of New York city, used to

haunted by these questions: How can
make money!" "Who will be the next
PRESIDENT" and where shall go when

first question; he was right as to the sec
ond question so far as IL was indirectly
connected with the opportunity to make
money, but he was wrong a. TO tho third
question, for tho men who stand for the
business and political ambition and ener-
ries Of America never stop TO consider the

Americans who worry over the next world

corning the future, for II he was not he

threw the bomb in the French chamber of
deputies Saturday, takes his arrest with
the same cold-blooded unconcern a. did
Ravachal and Pallas. Like them. he was
a man of bad life. and has nisfortunes and
poverty were due to his evil habits, not to
oppression by the rich or lack of oppor-
tunity. All three of these men seem TO
have been perfectly sane, though embit-
tered against those who met with success
while they failed. These murdersrs are of
different type from Guiteau and Prender-
CAST. The latter were men of less intellect
and ability. but with inordinate self
esteem, which caused them to seek Office
and to advise public men as to the conduct
Of affairs. Continued disappointment
overthrow their weak minds.

Washington Lumber Gaining Favor.

The Northeastern Lumbermdn says;
Washington fr and cedar are making
Roadway among the car builders. Two
considerable orders for cars have recently
been placed, one with the Wells & French
company. of this city, and the other with
an Indiana factory. The specifications
called for Washington FIR or cedar sides
and decking. or white pine. Thus Pacific
coast lumber was put on an equal footing
with white pine. This shows that the car
builders have made themselves acquainted
with the adaptability of fir and cedar to
their purpose, and are willing to use it if
they can buy 1t at figures to suit"

Big Game in Asotin Country.
Aso.in Sentinel.


One day last week three Indians passed
over the prairie returning from hunt in
the mountains along Little Salmon. They
stated that the gray timber wolves are
again commencing to run In packs. Their
howl could be distinctly heard each night
Three were sighted close to camp about
twilight one evening. attracted to the spot
probably by the scent of venison which
the hunters had killed that evening. A
dozen or more big horned mountain sheep
are reported to have been seen one day
last week over in the rugged country along
Asotin creek. Within the last few years
there has been very little hunting in that
section by the Indians, and the sheep have
been given chance to increase. II left
alone for few years longer this species of
game would again become as numerous as
they were before visited by disease a bout
fifteen years ago which had its disastrous
effects.

HAWAIIAN NAMES.
An Rx-Eesidens Of the Islands Gives
Hints ON Pronnnciation-


SsoHoArsH. Dec. s. 1893
To TEE EprroR: Apropos Of the ques-
ton of the pronunciation of Hawaiian
names. q brief statement of the principles
of the language governing this matter
may De of interest 10 many. In fs0,
when the American missionaries
landed 1t Kailns, Hawaii. there
was no written language and their
first literary work after learning
the spoken language was to reduce it TO
writing. They adopted the following
Roman letters as representative of the
simple sounds they found: The FIVE
vowess. q, e, i. o, u. having the following
sounds, q, as in father; e, as in fate: j, az
long when spoken quickly, as in mese,
or passing in usage into the shorter sound
of short i. IS in pin; o, as in old; U, IS 90
in food, or IS in rude. The
i've consonants. K, l. m, n. ., the
aspirate b, and o vocalie ". Pure Ha-
waiian knows no diphthongs, though to our
ciumsier Angio-Saxon ears and tongues il
seems to. There are, therefore, as many
syllables in Hawaiian word as there are
vowels. and no syllable ends in . conso-
nant. Where two or more vowels follow
each other, with no intervening coaso-
nants, there Is . crssis, or comminglins
OF the sounds that produces what
seems to a stranger as . foreign
element in the pronunciation. For ex-
ample, the name of the island upon which
Honolulu is located. Oahu. GA hoo, pro-
ducing q sound not unlike O-wa-hoo,
which was indeed one way Of spelling il
in early times. There is, to foreign ears at
least one notable execution to the law of no
diphthong, namely. in the combination of
al, which has practically the sound oflong
i, as in Hawaii. Ha-wi-i. which. though
s,ructurally incorrect, is the common pro-
nunciation. Hence we have: Ho-no-lu-
lu, Li-li-u-o-ka-la-ni, with the accent on
the penult in each case. What the Law of
accentuation may be, if there is any, /
cannot say. W. G. MERRITT.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. is, 1898.

asniuBhOu, OCt. ~, 1000.
Everyone has known Of cases where
people refused to believe their loved
ones were dead although the corpse
lay before them prepared for burial, or
cremation. That is precisely the con-
dition of the Voorhees, conditional re-
peal bill. 1t is dead, and almost every
body knows il, but a few of its nearest
friends still refuse to believe 1t or to
consent to the final disposal of the
the corpse. President Cleveland, tn e
chief physician and mourner, insists
that it is IT'LL alive and that if the
chief nurse will follow his directions
and give the medicine prescribed by
him that it may yet be restored to ro-
bust health. This opinion, however, is
not shared by his associate and con
sulting physician, Secretary Carlisle,
who has prepared a substitute for the
defunct bill, which he would prefer to
one prepared by the silver men if. as
he believes, a substitute is bound to
be accepted or all hope of financial
legislation abandoned.
Secretary Carlise's proposed amend
ment, which is evidently intended to
TO capture the vote of the anti-repeal
southern Senators, is substantially as
follows: The repeal Of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law the pur-
chase of 90y000,000 ounces of silver,
one-fourth TO be purchased annually /;
the coinage of the seigniorage in the
Treasury the repeal Of the tax on
state bank currency, and authority for
the Secretary Of the Treasury, at his
discretion, to issue $3.50 1000, 900 in
bonds to purchase gold. This amend
ment will not be likely TO get any re-
publican votes, because of the pro-
posed repeal of the state bank tax,
but with that clause out it would lose
votes among the southern Senators.
There are a number of other COM
promise amendments prepared and in
course of preparation, in fact there
are so many of them that their very
number and diversity is acting as u
preventative of action, and may result
in nothing being done, although the
general impression among Senators of
all opinions is that some M of them
will be passed by the Senate this
week. Conferences are hourly being
held and as o as any amendment
that can command a majority sufici.
emily large to prevent tillibustering
against it is agreed upon 1t will be at
once passed by the Senate. That may
be today, tomorrow, or any day this
week; but if no agreement is reached
this week 1t is altogether probable
that the whole question may be
thrown over to the regular session, as
it is daily becoming more difficult 10
keep the Senators who are anxious,
for one cause or another to go TO their
homes, in Washington, and the
moment it becomes apparent that no
agreement can he reached adjourn
ment will be forced by lack Of a
quorum.
One result of the physical endur-
ance fzzle in the Senate is the pro-
posal of a large number of amend
ments to the Senate rule, all having
one end in view-lhe curtailment of
privileges enjoyed under the present
rules, by the minority. Whatever
may be done in the future there is no
probability that any Of the proposed
amendments will be adopted at the
