We will answer this question by q statement
Of the iacti that within the past six months, to

tits fact proven from reliable authority

The secret Is found In the fact that All.
DEPARTMENT. OF railway work are con.
Quoted largely by telegraph, and the intelli-
gent operator sitting In his ONCE listening
TO the click, click Of his machine Is soon
familiar with the secret workings OF the en-

MR.. BLoUNT's REPORT.

Said to Corroborato the statements Of
Secretary Gresham.
Tho New York Herald prints what purports
to be large portion Of the report of Commits
sioner Blount. 1t sums up as follows:
commissioner Blounts report will show
that Minister Stevens landed the troops from
the Boston long before there was any valid
excuse for their presence on Hawaiian soil
that he declined to remove them
when requested to do SO by the
government and informed that the authori-
ties were willing and fully able TO preserve
order and to protect American interests; that
these troops wcrc stationed across the street
from the government building in which Min
lister Stevens knew the rcvolutionists were
about to read their proclamation, and that
the revolutionists' committee relied upon the
American troops to protect them in this act
Of rebellionj that Minister Stevens recog.
nized the provisional government according
to preconceived arrangement before that
government went into power, and that the
surrendered, only through awe Of the superior
force of the United States"
Commissioner Blount did his work with
great thoroughness. During tho five or SIX
months Of his stay in Honolulu, he worked
with single purpose to ascertain the truth.
He secured statements from members of the
Committee Of Safety, which brought about
tho revolution, from officers of tho Boston
and from other persons, including the queen
herself. Some Of these persons were exam
ined by Mr.. Blount, a stenographer being

The New State House.

Work on the interior of the state capitol
building is proceeding SO rapidly that the capt.
tol managers nre confident of being prepared
for tho reception of the state officers nextAprll.
The electric wiring Is completed, the heating
apparatus is being placed in position, the ga.
and plumbing work Is being carried forward
rapidly and the plas;ering is half done. The
contract for the wood work was recently
awarded and the hardware contracts will bc
opened on the thirteenth Of December. Al
the next meeting Of the board the spcclflca-
tions for the interior marble and onyx work
will be passed upon and contracts advertised
for. The marble work may require year OF
mors as the board Is OF the opinion 1t can be
carried forward after the state offices arc To-
Gated In the new building. 1t is proposed to
make use OF marble tile floors In the corri-
dors, marble wainscoting, marble steps and
thresholds, marble inches and window sllls,

Of onyx and marble. As the plastcring Is

Men Who drudge Every Cent which
They Give to Their Wives. :,
"I see good deal of the mean bide
Of human nature IN my business" said
a woman hairdresser the other day to
Washington Star reporter But the
worst of 1t is shown by husbands.
There isn't anything meaner in this
world than Il mean husband. For in
stance, one customer Of mine has q
husband who Is a vegetable crank. He
never eats any meat himself, and SO
he will not have any bought Cor tho
household. His wife used to get pretty
nearly starved. For while she had m
arrangement with the green grocer by
which he procured for her and sunt
homo beefsteaks The steaks figured
In the family bills us SO many pecks OF
potatoes or so many quarts Of beans.
"She used to have beefsteak at lunch
when her husband was down town.
But one day he came home unexpect-
edly in the middle Of the day, and then
there was a row. He said she was q
deceitful creature, and she replied that
it wasn't possible for n person to be
sincere and truthful on diet Of bread
and butter and greens. However, he
used to watch her more closely after
that, keeping an eye on the refrigerator
and even insisting upon doing the mar
was that the eating of flesh rendered
people more f1eshy. He thought that
the consumption of cabbage and green
peas reduced the elements OF animal
ism in human beings and was calcu-
lated to render them more soulful.
80 his wife, not being able to obtain
any substantial food, began to i;row
alarmipgly thinner. Finally she de-
cided on new plan. 1t was suggested
by accident A dealer In secondhand
clothing called at the house and offered
the highest cash price for any garments
that might be discarded. The lady he
thought herself of an old coat Of her
husbands. With the price Of 1t in her
pocket-she always had to account
strictly for every penny that she got
she went down the street and INDUCED
In luxurious meal at restaurant.
She confined herself to meat; there
wasn't n vegetable on her bill OF fare.
by and by the old-clOthes man be-
came a regular visitor. On each Occa-
sion he carried away pair Of trousers,
| a waistcoat or coat. With fair hut
not extreme economy tho price Of one
article would frequently pay for two
or three meals. That this sort Of thing
could not go on forever was quite evil
dent. One day the husband discovered
thnt the greater part Of his wardrobe
had disappeared. His wife attempted
no concealment. She said frankly that,
being driven by hunger, she had aOld
the things to buy food. Furthermore,
she was determined to persist in that
course until n proper allowance of
money was given her to buy meat or
| anything else she liked She expected
that the furniture would go next; in
short, she openly defied him.
Now, what do you suppose that man

Governor waite,s Plan.

The Denver Times of tho 2lst gives the fol
lowing as the scheme that Governor Wait.
intends to submit to the legislature for its ap
proval:
In a nutshell, Governor Waite favors state
free coinage Of silver. He would have the
legislature, in special session, create II bureau
for the purchase and coinage OF silver money
and for issuance Of certificates in exchange
for bullion. These bullion certificates would
be exchnngerblc for silver coin, after the
payment of mint charges.
But tho constitution OF the United States
does not allow state to coin money. Very
true. Governor Waite has, however, read the
constitution and he would get around this
prohibition by sending the Colorado bullion
to Mexico, there to be Inlnted into dollars,
half dollars md other coin of the sister re.
public. The old coinage laws by which for.
cign silver coins are legal tender are under.
stood by the governor never to have been re-
penled and he believes that Colorado silver
coined In the Mexican mints can legally pass
current here. The governor is even said tc
have sent q personal representative to the
City of Mexico 10 confer with the treasury
officials there and complete the details of the
project
