FILTHY lUCRE.
Many Prefer Il Dirty Note to New One,
Especially In the West.

Many Prefer Dirty Note to a New One,
Especially In the West
The raid that was made on the
treasury department for new notes
and coins by the visitors in Wash
ington during the Grand Army en-.
campnent and the 100000 and
more old torn bills which they left
behind indicates what a rarity a
crisp, new note is in the west In
Washington people have got to be
quite fastidious about their money.
That which is fresh and clean is
right at their hand and when a note
begins to get a little soiled they do
not care to handle it. Notes such as
are regarded as in good condition in
Chicago and other western cities
would not circulate for a day ia
Washington. Pocketbooks are sell
dom used there except for small
change, the correct thing being for
those who have money to carry the
new bills in an envelope without
folding them, so as to preserve their
newness.
A Washington man going west can
mark the stages of his progress by
the changing condition of the money.
In the cities of the far west it is bad
enough, but in the country places
and among the farmers generally
after passing the Ohio a new note of
small denomination is thing almost
unknown. Even In Minneapolis men
from Washington who carried crisp
II notes in the ''original packages"
just as they came from the treasury,
found occasionally places where they
could not pass the money because it
looked ''too new to be good A
good many Of the street car conl,;c-
tors refused to take the new notes,
but dirty bill, all patched and al
most free from design, was taken
without question as the proper thing.
1t is said at the treasury department
that comparatively little money
comes in from the west for retlemp-
ton.
Great quantities of these notes
don't come back for redemption, and
III the final ,un Of years the govern
mcnt is much the gamer by it. The
trouble IS that while tho treasury is
always ready to destroy tho old notes
and give new ones in their place.
there is no provision for transporta-
ton Of the notes, and the amount of
express charges from a distance pre-
vents their being sent III for redemp-
tlon. In 1882 congress made an ap-
preparation for the payincnt of such
express charges, and for once the en-
tire country got a now set of green
taCks Since then there has been no
appropriation for that purpose, and
the national currency is sadly in need
of repairs. Cor Philadelphia Tele

lie health and sanitation will come
under the especial supervision of
DR.. Andrews and J. 0. Carter.
Each committee, it will be observed,
includes one physician and one
layman.
1t is a trite observation that
everybody's business is nobody's
business. When seven men are CO.
responsible each can generally I'M
load an unpleasant responsibility
On the joint or several shoulders of
his colleagues. The tendency to
do so is deeply rooted in this frail
human nature of ours, and the best
of men are hardly free from it. Its
operation is familiar phenomenon
in American politics, particularly
in municipal government, where
boards of aldermen run riot, and in
New York City has led to the con-
centration of greater power, with
its consequent responsibility, in the
hands of the mayor. 1t is to be
hoped that the subdivision of work
among committees will not only
tend to greater efficiency, but will
also assist in fixing responsibility
here.
The Board, we are given to un-
derstand, is devoting a good deal
of attention to the sanitary condi-
ton of the city, and it is to be
hoped that they will devise some
means of improving it. Nothing
thoroughly effectual can be done,
however, until there is some sys-
tenn of sewerage. The practical
consideration of this problem can
not much longer be postponed.
There are quarters OF the city, as
in the blocks around Maunakea
street, which are in the fonlest pos
sible state. Many of the houses
are not on the street at all, but are
reached by long narrow passages
The best will in the world can
hardly achieve cleanliness and
health in these miserable slums
They stand in need of a thorough
cleaning out, and the cleaning out
would better precede the cholera
and not wait until the dread dis
ease takes up a permanent resi-
dence here.

Racing with a Waterspout.

When the British steamer Amur, Cap
lain Rouse, from CaibariOn, dropped
anchor off Gloucester her outward ap-
pearance foretold the thrilling expert
ences she had had with the elements.
Dec. 10, when on the southern edge of
the gulf stream, the ship had narrow
escape from total destruction by wa
terspout, which fortunately passed I'M
der her stern not many yards from the
ship.
The first seen of this monstrous dis
turbance was in the shape of heavy
cloud on the horizon direct to windward,
but as it drew near it appeared as though
it would overtake the ship and send all
on board to the bottom. 1t was des-
perate struggle to get out of its way,
and with the ship already in o disabled
condition the engineer stood by with the
engines wide open, realizing that it was
q race for life. Nearer and nearer the
dangerous water column drew to the
ship, but by the time the noise of its ap-
proach met the ears of the crew { g ship
had gotten north to a place Of safety.
As it passed under the Amur's stern the
noise was deafening. It quickly passed
and disappeared,-Cor. Baltimore Amer

The meeting held last night for
the organization of an annexation
club was largely attended and was
enthusiastic throughout. No spe-
cial effort was made to secure a
large attendance, and many of the
best friends of annexation stayed
at home. Yet the Drill Shed was
crowded, and not less than eight
hundred persons were present.
One thousand and nineteen names
have already been attached to the
roll, though there has been no sys-
tematic canvass, and hundreds
more can readily be obtained. The
spirit of the meeting surprised the
most ardent friends of the govern
ment. The feeling for annexation
is stronger than ever, and it is
steadily growing. While the for
eign community is fast becoming a
unit on the subject, natives are also
being won over, and the three Ha-
waiian annexation speeches are an
encouraging sign of the times. Nc
matter what the news by to-day's
steamer may be, the cause will be
maintained.

would have had still more reason to
apostrophize the Tiber had he lived in
these days and seen the Tiber embank-
ment now approaching TO completion.
Taken in conjunction with the series of
magnificent new bridges which form
part of the scheme, it is described as
decidedly the grandest work undertaken
IN Rome by the Italian government. The
Ponte Margharita. fine bridge con-
structed entirely of stone at the upper
extremity of the Eternal City, is already
completed. as is the Ponte Cestio at the
Tiberine isle.
This latter is bridge of three noble
arches. A curious fact in relation to it
Is that the stones of the old Roman
bridge which was pulled down were used
In constructing the new one, and even

they originally stood. The Ponte UNI

has been made, leading TO another fine
bridge, which is called the Ponte Carl

took the place of the famous old Ponte
Rotto, or broken bridge, is also complete.

AN ESCAPED HEATHER.

The Committee of Kaumakapili
Church, as stated in these columns
yesterday, has acquitted J. W. Ala
pal on the charge of idolatry pre-
ferred against him. Now who is
going to acquit the Committee?
1t does not appear that there was
anything advanced by Mr.. Alapai
to disproye the charges except a
bundle of old doctors bills. If the
well-known definition of a "mis-
sionary" as "a man who pays his
bills" be adopted. then it becomes
evident why Mr.. Alapai produced
these evidences of payment. 1t is
not likely, however, that he had
this definition in mind, so that his
reason for bringing forth the bills
is still to seek. That he patronized
other doctors besides the "unihi-
pill" is not unlikely, for the
insatiate appetite of this spirit
for rum and bananas must have
made serious inroads upon the fam
lily constitution. Faith in one doctor
would .aot necessarily prevent re-
course to another.
Two reasons may readily be i'm
agined for the acquittal of this
hardened old heather. Some OF
his judges may have themselves
been worshippers of two sets of gods,
and therefore sympathizero of Ala.

Working out Manifest Destiny.

The sudden presentation of the
Hawaiian question will do great
service to the United States beyond
the mere gain of these valuable ISL
ands. 1t will familiarize the pub
lie mind with the acquisition of
other territory which must be con-
templated in the near future.
Without stimulating any lingo
spirit of ambitious ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
it will lead to clearer recognition
of inevitable necessities. The COM
mercial development and the poll
teal obligations of the country will
require the absorption of further
outlying lands, and the determine
ton of the present issue will turn
the thoughts of statesmen and peo-
