The State Wagon Road Commis-
sion will meet again today to open
bids and award contracts for the con-
struction of the various sections of
the road. On Wednesday the follow
ing question was submitted to the
Attorney General:
"If no bids are accepted in 1898
and no contracts awarded, does the
whole law go by default?"
The Attorney General said: "1n
my opinion Section 10 of the law, d.
recting the commission to let the con-
tracts is directory merely. That
this is true will plainly appear by
reading Section II in connection
Herewith, said Section authorizing
the Board to reject any and all bids,
and to let the same at a subsequent
meeting at such time and place as
may be determined by the Commits
sion. Failure to let the contracts in
1898 cannot, in my opinion, render
the act referred to imperative"
The Statesman says that there is
little doubt some of the sections Of
the road cannot be built with the ap-
propriations set aside for them, but
it is thought the counties will come
to the rescue and appropriate suffi
cient funds to meet the deficiency
Idaho county has agreed to raise
$4,000 for that purpose and it is un
derstood Kootenai and Shoshone will
do the same. The Statesman nigh
have added that Boise county viii
also make good any deficiency on th'
section within her boundaries. Sec
retary Hunter will at once re-adver
tise for bids.

An amendment to section 1924, of
the Revised Statutes of the United
States, has been passed by Congress
which renders assessment work on
mining claims unnecessary for the
year 1898. Prospeotors and mine
owners, however, must before the 31st
of next December, make affidavit be-
fore the County Recorder of the coun-
ty in which their claims are recorded,
to the effect that they are holding
their claims in good faith and intend
to work them hereafter. This law
applies to all individual and compa-
nv holders, who reside in the State
or in adjoining States or Territories,
but does not affect corporations. 1t
is intended to lessen the hardships
which would necessarily follow if
holders of mining property we're COM
PEELED to perform the usual 500 as
sessment work on each claim during
the present state of the mining indus
try. The amendment is for 1898 on

Me II THE EARLY Bird.

Gov. Mcconnell is making q tour
of Bear Lake county. The early
bird catches the worm. and Nc is out
early. It is the fat Senatorial worm
he is after. Nc talks irrigation, but
his heart and soul and ambition are
not 80 much centered on that ques-
ton as on the momentous one of who
will be Idaho's next Senator. This
irrigation talk is employed as . means
for the accomplishment of the chief
end, and Nc is inseparably connected
with that chief end. We do not de-
sire to be understood as particularly
condemning Mes ambition in the
direction of the Il. S. Senate, nor any
honorable means he may use to get
there, and there is nothing very
wrong or disbonorable in his efforts
to reach the goal by floating with the
stream down the irrigating ditch
route. Nc has been studying the
subject carefully, and shrewdly noting
which way the stream of public opin-
ion runs, and he is drifting with it
most beautifully and condemning
corporation control of water and irri-
eating bitches. There is no proba-
bility of our willy Governor being
ditched as result of his position on
the subject of irrigation, for he is
with public sentiment on tie ques-
ton. It is water on his wheel that
runs the machinery that is manufac.
turing VIM. ]. Mcconnell Senatorial
boom material. Nc had his factory
up and running to its full capacity
long before any of the other Senate
rial aspirants had even as much a.
begun to revolve, in their minds, tht
plan of one. AS each yard of fabric
is turned out by Mes factory ant
held up to the eager gaze of an ad
miring multitude, the people shou
themselves hoarse, and the compli
: ments showered upon the Governo
are loud and long. This encourage
him to keep the machinery we'll oile'
and in good running order. Nc i
by no means slow. He is thoroug

The State wagon road commission
yesterday, after lengthy session,
during which there were several
breezy passages between Chairman
Sharp and Commissioner Macnab,
adopted report to be submitted to
the Governor.
The report, as q whole, is tolerably
clear and concise, consisting mainly
OF review OF the past work Of the
commission, but in one place it
branches of from the routine and, for
nearly three pages, arraigns in strong
terms the present administration at
Washington.
Right there Commissioner Macnab,
who is staunch Democrat, took issue
with the author of the report, Secre-
tary Bell. He said such matter had
no bearing on a report of the pro-
ceedings of the commission and be
moved to strike it out root and branch
Chairman Sharp, who is confirmed
Populist, said the report, especially
that portion of it that hit President
Gle, eland, suited him exactly. Gas
to the bearing on the subject" he
said, "it comes in nicely. The report
speaks Of the trouble experienced il
floating the wagon road bonds even
after they were contracted for. The
financial stringency, it says, rendered
Stanton & Coffin unable to take then
as agreed. Who caused the string
ency, hey? Tell me that. Why, i
was the administration. Give it te
'em, say, give it to 'em," and h'
combed his iron gray whiskers witt
the butt end of cigar.
Commissioner Macnab won hi
point, however, when the vote wa
taken.
Chairman Sharp winked the othe
eye and changed his vote to the affir
native. The noon recess followed
Then the chairman made his point.
Shortly after reconvening in tn
afternoon he moved to reconsider
There was another wrangle. The a,
mosphere of the senate chamber wa
charged with red hot, sizzling Eng
lish; but this time when the vote wa
taken Chairman Sharp, with "a smil
that was childlike and bland," cam
out ahead, and the administratio
from Cleveland down was roasted.

THE LATEST.

The Oceanic arrived at Z o'clock
last night, with four days later
news from the Coast. The intel
ligence is very interesting, and will
be found in full in our news col
umns. The only action which has
been taken by either branch of
Congress in the Hawaiian matter
is the adoption by the Senate OF a
resolution of Senator Morgan's,
authorizing the Committee of For
eign Relations to send for papers
and witnesses and to administer
oaths, with view to determining
whether any and if so what irregu-
larities have occurred in the dip
lomatic or other intercourse be-
tween the United States and
Hawaii, in relation to the recent
political revolution" The purpose
OF this resolution, as explained by
Morgan, was "to have a settlement
of the charges made against this
and the former Administration"
In the House a number of fiery
resolutions have been introduced,
and speeches of a corresponding
temper made, but nothing has been
done. The majority of the Foreign
Relations Committee has reported
a resolution condemning the al
legged interference Of the Republi-
can Administration In Hawaiian
affairs. On this resolution no &C
ton has been taken and nothing
further will probably be done by
either House until after the re-as-
sembling of Congress, on Janu-
airy I'd.
The full text of all these reso-
lutions is published elsewhere.

The Guessing Contest at Sachs
Ends In a Tie.

A great deal of interest has been
taken In the bean guessing contest
that has been going on at Sachs
for the last few weeks. Yesterday
was the day set for counting the
beans and deciding who was to be-
come the owner of the handsome
silver tea service that was to be
given to the one guessing the near
est TO the number of beans in the
jar.
A. V. Gear and W. Fl. Smith
we're selected to do the counting.
They found that there were 1884
specimens of Boston's pet food In
the jar.
The nearest guess to this num-
Der was 1000, which six people had
decided was the correct amount.
They were Francis de Sales, Mrs.
G. Dodd, Miss Vierra, Annie Bian-
chard, Mrs. Brown and Johannes
Hedeman. The lucky one will
probably have to trust to his OF
her fortune in drawing lots to Sc
cure the tea set.
There were 224 guesses, the high
est being Is, 600 and the lowest 45o

RETROSPECT.

When merchants reach the end
of their business year they take an
account of stock. 1t is sensible
thing for a people from time to
time to take an account of its stock,
to measure the losses and count the
gains, and draw the balance for the
wear. Never before perhaps in the
history of Hawaii has it been of
more interest to turn to the past,
examine its work, and learn where
we stand.
Almost three-quarters of a CEN
tury have passed since the first
band of missionaries came to an
Choir on these shores. These years,
which constitute the whole span of
an individual life. are but frag-
ment in the larger life of nation.
Yet in Hawaii, they have witnessed
great changes, as great perhaps as
ever took place in any similar time.
The work that our fathers found
to do practically included all that
is comprehended in civilization. 1t
was their task, not merely to SUBJ
stitute an enlightened faith for
heather superstition, but to organ
ize society, to establish govern
ment and law, to abolish teudai
tenures, to create and maintain a
system of private rights, and ultl-
mately to secure the full enjoy
ment of political liberty.
Under ordinary conditions ma
tons grow from within, and the
civilization which they gain is the
work of their own hands. 1t was
otherwise in Hawaii. The white
man brought with him COM
pleted system of institutions
which were adapted, as we'll
as might be, to new conditions. In
this work of adaptat:or it is need
!. less to say that SONS mistakes have
fsn made. The end, however, has
the ysd constantly the same, and
we look back on them,

That PesfiIent Sheet.

Mr.. EDITOR: Minister Hatch
takes the right view of the Holo-
mua. By all means let it remain
unmolested.
When there is pestilence in the
home, the inmates are required to
display flag to warn people of
the danger, that they may avoid it.
What more appropriate signal of
malignant disease, in the home of
the royalists could we have, than
the Holomua.
AS long as the pestilence pre-
vails let the flag wave.
It is to be hoped that the Amer
lean Congress will be plentifully
supplied with copies of this fitting
exponent OF the royalist's cause in
Hawaii.

The necessity for a large
stock of holiday goods at this
time is not as great as it
would have been if the sugar
magnates in the United States
had not seen fit to bear the
market. 81 go is a low price,
and the producers will fnd lit
tie pleasure in the quotation,
not as much we think, as they
would derive from an inspec-
ton of the lamps we received
by the Alameda.
The fashion for both piano
and banquet lamps has gone
back to the handsome black
wrought iron patterns and
assortment this year contains
some of the handsomest we
have ever seen. One of them
with a handsome onyx top,
is a marvel of beauty and
would be an ornament in the
home of anyone; it bears
the imprint of the artists
hand in every curve Of the
metal. Banquet lamps of the
same material are less snowy
than the brighter metals, but
infinitely richer and have an
advantage in not being sus-
ceptible to the action of the
climate; they cannot tarnish.
A large assortment of small
bits in silver, chaste IN design
and inexpensive in price,
makes them particularly suita-
BILE as New Year presents. To
enumerate them all, would
require more advertising space
than we have at our command.

indicate a steady advance. Schools
were established, a government
formed, retainers freed from the
burdens of feudal servitude and
a land and property system de-
vised which recognized the claims
of the common people. On the basis
of the existing relations between
king and chiefs, the first compare
lively crude constitution, that Of
1910, was erected. This was fol-
lowed by the constitution Of Kane
hameha III. in 1852, and it is
practically in this year that fully
organized government on modern
lines and in accordance with the
usage and precedents of civilized
nations was established. The con-
stitution Of 1852 was more liberal
than that Of 1910, as that of 1887
was in it's turn an advance on the
constitution of 1852. The progress
of political development for the
half century which has elapsed
since 1910, has been one of steady
advance in the rights of the indi-
vidual, first in the sphere of pri-
vate law, and then in public law.
The constitution of 1910 admit
ted the subject to share in the
government, which was enlarged in
1852, and again in 1887. The only
break in the steady move forward
came with the constitution of Ka-
mehameha ", which was objection
able not SO much because it abridg-
ed the rights granted in 1852, for it
did not do so to any considerable
extent, but because it was re-
action, and a re-affir,nation of the
principle of personal government.

Apart from this episode of retro
erosion, the history of Hawaii has
been one unbroken march towards
political liberty-a march aided
and advanced by the Kamehame-
has, resisted, thwarted and hated
by Kalakaua and Liiiuokalani.
Each new constitution has marked
a new step forward /; each was the
logical continuation of the historic
process. Those who have shared
in these movements are the makers
of history; those who have resisted
them are in one sense also the
makers of history, but they make
it by marring it.
We stand now upon the verge of
the final contamination of this long
historic process. 1910, 1852, 1887
they are all historic years, but
1893 is the crown and sum of all,
the fruit of a long ripening. The
revolution of last January came
unexpected and unsought. No one
had even dreamed of forcibly anti
cipating what thinking men knew
must be the final outcome. Salts
fed with the constitutional guar
antees, the party of liberty
was then, as it always has been,
the party of peace and order. The
revolution came because the woman
who was on the throne adopted the
traditions of absolutism, put her
will against the people, and set
herself to appropriate the gains
of forty years. Then the
revolution taught her, or would
have taught her if she could have
learned, that freedom was en-
trenched in power, and that the
children of liberty in the Western
nations were not to be driven from
their furthest outpost.
If we have not misread the
meaning of Hawaiian history, there
is reason to look back with high
satisfaction upon the year which
is now Fastening to its close. 1t
has brought Us great trials, but
greater triumphs. 1t has termin-
ated forever the reign of heathen-
ism. 1t has abolished personal
government and put final period
to ,.surpation.
Can we reasonably ask that a
single year shall bring US more ?
There is enough for deep rejoicing,
for earnest thankfulness, for high
hope. There is enough to make a
merry Christmas, and the conf
dent anticipation of happy New
YEAR
