A NATIVE HAWAIIAN TALKS.

A San Francisco dispatch says: Among
the passengers on the Australia from
Honolulu wal J. E. Bush, editor Of a ma
tive paper called The Voice Of the Peo-
pie. Editor Bush, who is q native Ha-
waiian, was more outspoken than Mr..
Neumann. He said the action Of Min
lister Stevens and Captain Wiltse in land.
ing armed sailors from the Boston was
entirely unwArranted. They were not
needed and the natives bitterly resented
IL. The trouble is that the natives
wanted to govern their own country and
were opposed by . lot Of foreigners who
were afraid that their interests would be
imperilled. There vas no such danger,
for the native Hawaiians are q civilized
people and respect the rights Of others.
The action Of Minister Stevens In raising
the United States flag and declaring a
protectorate was q high-handed outrage,
and II is so regarded by our people. We
are perfectly willing to hold closer rela-
tions with the United States, but we
want to have q voice as to what those
aelstions shall be and how they shall be
brought about.

To refer to women as the weaker sex,
. German scientist says, is surely a mis-
take, for they have always known how
to preserve their dominion over the So
called stronger sex. Men are, indeed,
women's most obedient slaves. Solomon
said his wives were bitterer than death,
and surely there never was . greater
slave to woman. Statistics show that
seven wives survive every ten famous
men. Heloise survived the loss OF her
beloved Abelard twenty-five years, and,
similarly, the wife Of Washington, though
she declared she could never get over
the death Of her husband, outlived him
thirty years.

REPEAL rue SIBERIAN ACT.

The st. Louis Republic says: The de-
mand Of the Chicago platform for the re-
peal Of the sherman act must be honored
by the Democrats, and, though it is alb
surd to ask them to support such q repeal
bill as that introduced by Mr.. Andrews
Of Massachusetts,, it is plainly in the
party interest to repeal the act as soon
as possible, that the Coinage issue may
not precipitate a party 6ght before the
passage Of q tariff revision bill.
The bill that has been introduced in
the House by Mr.. Culberson Of Texas re-
peals the Sherman act by re-enacsing the
Bland-Allison act and providing for the
coinage Of the silver bullion stored in the
Treasury by and under the Sherman act.
We believe that this bill should pass
before the adjournment, though we will
not pretend to say that it will be &C.
cepted as final by either party in this
controversy. The gold advocates will
not consent to anything less than the
complete decentralization Of silver, and
ell genuine bimetallists look on Govern.
ment purchases Of either metal as it's vir'
tual demonstration. II is not to be ex-
pected that silver can regain its place as
. money metal as long as n OF the most
powerful Governments Of the world IL

est possible priee-as il must always do
as long as the perchase is not fraudulent.
II is very well known now that the COM
promise represented by the Bland-Alli-
son act was q decided victory for the gold
advocates, but nevertheless the Bland
Allison act represents an honest attempt
at compromise, whereas the Sherman act
represents the deliberate and unchecked
knavery Of IS INSCRIPTIONS . gang OF
spectators % ever cursed q country. Its
only redeeming feature is revealed in the
fact that IL has reacted on them and is
now as formidable to them as they hoped

THE PIOCuE BRANCH.

The Salt Lake Mining Journal says;
We are glad to see that steps are being
tsksn to hasten the building Of the Phoebe
ranch OF the Union Pacific road. The
padded on this line has been completed
III the way from Milford to Phoebe, and
al that is necessary now is TO put in cul.
verts aud lay the ties and rails. By I'm
ishing this branch n Of the richest min.
eral portions OF Nevada would be made
tributary to Salt Lake City. No one,
unless he has visited this region, can form
the faintest conception Of its great mine
raj wealth; and yet the once thrifty and
prosperous city Of Phoebe, with its great
mines, its smelters, reduction works and
short line Of railroad that connects the
town with the big producers at Jack
Rabbit, is now as quiet as q graveyard.
The improvements made there during
the early days, by their magnitude and
number, is an evidence Of what would
now be the general character Of the min
ing camps Of the West if silver had pot
bsen ruthlessly demonetized. and to-day.
with the vast amount Of high grade and
concentrating ore in sight in the mines OF
this camp, these by-gone times OF pros
perity might be recalled, if railroad fscil'
tiles could be secured. This whole coun-
try is one vast mineral deposit Of silver.
oapper, lead and gold, but the cost oil
transportation is so great and the value
Of silver and lead so lew that the expen.
ses eat up the profits on all but the high
est grade Of ores, and then on this, it is
not deemed wise or e~xpedient to rob q
mine Of ore, when it will keep inde6-
nitely, or until railroad communication
will enable the mine owners to reduce
the expenses Of the long haul by wagon
to the nearest railroad shipping point.
By finishing this branch, the ore and
bullion receipts in this city would be al
most double, while m in other
lines and branches Of trade would be
greatly augmented. 1t would take but q
comparatively small amount to finish and
equip this branch; and we sincerely
hope, now that the Salt Lake Chamber
of Commerce has taken an interest in
this matter, that we will soon have the
satisfaction Of seeing the chief city Of
southeastern Nevada connected with the
capital Of Utah by bonds Of iron and
steel.

as Immediately setting to work, they are
said to have, in the course Of a couple OF

of pure gold. But to the great chsgrin

sgNAroR HILLS SPEECH.

The speech Of Senator Hill ON the re-
n..l of the so-called Sherman Silver Pur.
chase Act 10 replete with sound argu-
ments in numerous parts Of that speech
for free and unlimited coinage, while the
conclusions be has arrived at In accom-
plishing the same seems TO be . lamen-
table failure, and more in the line Of ar
eumens Of those who. while posing as the
friends Of silver are its most adroit enc
mics. soldbugs, proclaimins themselves
bimetallists.
The New York Senator, after stating
how, since the demonstration OF silver
In 1873, that commodity had fallen in
value from par 10 70 per cent in 1883, and
10 the following year advanced to "a per
cent on the strength Of the silver sgita-
sion, then strongly tending to the re-
establishment of free coinage, and then
after the refusal Of Congress to pass such
Q Law, hat instead passed the present
sounmodfty ACT, which included also the
discontinuanoe Of the coinage OF silver
dollars in The future, very logically shows
how the rise aud fall in the price Of silver
has been guided entirely by the action OF
the United States. So when in 1873 sill
yer was dsmonetized the price thereof
kept going down, until in 1889 it was
only worth ~ per cent Of its former
-
value. and NO hope held out OF any inn
mediate relief, the people became out
spoken in their demands for the rs-es-
Establishment Of the money Of the consti-
tuition. Congress took notice of the agi-
tation and the demand Of the people. and
. bill for the reconciliation OF silver
passed the Senate. People began to think
and hope that the day of reconciliation
had arrived, and silver advanced from "
10 "a per cent in Q few months, not only
in this country but also in England,
England. the great bugbear country,
without the consent Of which our Ameri-
can Shylocks dare not say their souls are

the views held by the silver men, that II
the United States had re-established free
coinage in 1890 silver would have gone
TO par and forever remained 30, and would
now under similar conditions. The bill
passed by the Senate was SO mutilated
In the House and in committee Of con-
ference that nothing Of the original re-
manned. The same becoming the law OF
the land, at the behest Of the money
kings Of Wall street, the demands and
hopes Of the people were thus ignored,
and silver, which, in anticipation Of q
speedy free coinage measure had al.
most advanced to par, commenced going
down, down until il reached the present
low stage Of "a per cent of its former
value. Yet Senator Hills panacea for
all this instability Of the white metal is
the unconditional repeal Of the Sherman
law and the further ~stoppage Of the coin
age Of silver dollars. and be processes to
be In favor Of the double standard and
the free coinage Of both gold and silver.
When you stop the purchase and coinage
Of silver then farewell to bimetallism
