we would be glad to call our
friends are not so anxious as we,
but are running after the smiles
and appreciation of others, who in
turn give them the cold shoulder,
and so on around the circle.
Ruskin says: "The path of a
good woman is indeed strcwn with
flowers: but they rise behind her
steps, not before them" Let us
see what we can get out of these
few words spoken by this great
artist. The truly good woman
does not tread the fOwer.strewn
paths, or select the most inviting
and sunniest ways opened up be-
fore her, but she fearlessly enters
on the roads duty bids her follow,
which are Oftenest rugged with
boulders of obstacles and slOughs
of discOuragments, and she strug-
giles on over the thorns, but scat
tiers flowers behind her, in the many
blessings and cheerful words she
gives to others. In blessing 9th.
ers she is thrice blessed herself.
Did you ever sit patiently, or
impatiently better said, counting
the muses., trying to force the fa-
Der to action, when the mind re,
fused to feed it! Well job OF
carrying a burden up hill is prefer
able. But one must have an
object in veiw before anything
can be done successfully. Sham.
bling along in a hap-hazard way,
without any aim in life or any
standard to reach, takes all the
ardor and enthusiasm out of life
and leaves it only a dream of in
difference.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-There was a
notable lack Of the excitement which
characterized the arrival of news from
Hawaii by the Australia last week in
the reception of the news by the
Alameda yesterday. There was an
abundance OF interest, but Secretary
Gresham was content to hear the news
without rushing over to consult the
president in regard to it
In regard to the report that Minister
Willis said he should be glad to see
the American flag over Hawaii aud
every other island in the Pacific, the
secretary said; Il don't believe that"
Even as subsequently modified by
Minister Willis with the additional
clause, under proper conditions"
the secretary said the minister must
have been incorrectly reported.
willis is capable man." he said.
"He ought not to have talked on that
subject at all, and don't believe he
did"
Regarding the report that Mr.. VIII
lis said he would do nothing after the
Alameda left Honolulu until he heard
further from the state department, he
declined to say anything. The state.
ment reported as coming from Phila-
delphia that some action was to be
taken during the week following
the departure of the Alameda is re-
garded as significant, tallying as it
does with the rumor circulated here on
Tuesday that the queen had been re-
stored on that day.

The Work and Needs of the Agricultural
Department Set Forth.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-The secre.
tary of agriculture, in his report just
submitted to the president, regrets
the vague character of the depart
ment organization, which he says
'offers opulent opportunities for the
exercise of the most pronounced pa
ternalism," but he adds that there are
many proper ways in which the
Federal government may legitimately
serve the cause of agriculture He
devotes considerable space to review
of what ne regards as an anomalous
partnership between the government
of the United States and the govern
ments of the respective states for the
conduct and encouragement of state
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations.
Referring to the sum appropriated
for the use of state experiment sta
tons, he says: This appropriation
is unlike any other public moneys
legislated out of the treasury of the
United States because there is no
officer of the United States authorized
to direct, limit, control OK audit its
temiized expenditures"
He has, during the first quarter of
the fiscal year, reduced expenditures
in comparison with the correspond ing
quarter of last year by over $4,000

HURLEY, Wis, Nov. Ex-Governor
Peck and his military staff spent yes
terday on the Gogebic range dis
tributing food and clothing to the
destitute miners, several thousand of
whom have been out of work for
many months. The governor and
party arrived on special train that
brought several car loads of pro-
visions and clothing. A furious snow
storm was raging and two feet
of snow had fallen, but the cars were
quickly unloaded and the supplies
taken to the city hall. The special
brought 200 barrels of -four, 5000
pounds of beef and all manner of
clothing and household necessities.
Two hundred additional barrels of
flour were received during the day
from Medford, Wis. The supplies re-
ceived to-day were in answer to a call
for aid issued by Governor Peck ten
days ago.
At present there is not a single mine
in operation on the entire range-a
region that mined 10000, 900 tons of
ore last year. The mines began clos

New YORK, Nov 25.-A movement

the Kansas Pacific TO secure the re-

because nearly all the taxes paid on il
went to the public treasury. A strong
desire among members of the COM
mittee was to put an ad valorem duty
OF 20 or 25 per cent on it and to abol-
ish the bounty at once. After much
consideration it was decided to reduce
to one-half the duty on re ined sugars

In the tobacco schedule those rates
were sought which would bring most

INTERNAL REVENUE FIGURES.


Commissioner Miller Turns Ia Bulky
Volume without Recon-
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The annual
report of Mr.. Joseph Miller of West
Virginia, commissioner OF internal
revenue, makes no recommendations
The bulky volume of over 200 pages
(not including tables) is made up en-
tirely of statistical information
No mention is made of in
come tax or increase in the
rate of taxation on distilled
spirits, malt liquors, tobacco, or any
other products coming under the scope
of the internal revenue laws As.
Stunning that the rates OF taxation will
remain the same, the commissioner
estimates the probable revenue from
internal revenue for next year at $780,
10000 This is SIS, 100000 less than
last years estimate and Sll, zoo, 900
less than the actual yield last year,
which was Sl61, 900, 900. There has
been a decrease OF $3.50, 900 in the
first three months of this fiscal year.
For number of years past the re-
ceipts from internal revenue have run
along on continuous upward sliding
scale, Notwithstanding that during
the period noted several reductions in
rates and remissions of taxation have
been enacted. The receipts were
$4,000, 900 in 1856, S11S,OOO, 900 in
1887, S124 100000 in 1888, 10000, 900
in 1889, SAP, 900, 900 in 1890, STAG, OOO,-
600 in 1891, S153, 200, 900 in 1892, and
Sl61, 900, 900 in 1893
The chief collections have been
from distilled spirits, and next to that
malt liquors and tobacco The ban
ner collection districts, in the order of
amount collected, were, last year, as
follows: Peoria, Fifth Illinois $751;
43S,000; Louisville, Fifth Kentucky
Sl1. 925, 900; Cincinnati, First Ohio S1O,-
ESQ, 900; Chicago, First Illinois $40, 1884,
600; St Louis, First Missouri IS, 474, 900.
There has been decrease of over
800, 900 in the amount collected for
smoking and chewing tobacco, which
is attributed to the operations of the
new law permitting the sale of tobac-
co lin hand" by farmers and retail
dealers. In cigars, cigarettes and
snuffs there has been an increase of
receipts Nearly 4,5OO, OOG more gal
Ions of whisky have been withdrawn
from bond during the year than last
year. Most of it was bourbon whisky,
and the reason for its withdrawal was
that the bonded period had expired,
and efforts to obtain an extension
failed. In regard to sugar production
the commissioner says:
The operation of the law in regard
to the bounty on sugar has had the
effect so far as cane sugar is concern
ed to increase the production and
to lessen the number Of sugar facto-
rleS or licensed producers
The production OF beet sugar in the
states OF California and Nebraska and
the territory of Utah showed an in
crease of Is, 900, 900 pounds. Sorghum
sugar decreased on account of the raw
ages of ''chinch bugs The produc-
ton of maple sugar has increased.

Friends Of the Provisional Government

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-At the Ha-

had nothing to say on the news from
Honolulu. The strain of the uncer-
tainty that has surrounded them for
two weeks now is beginning to tell on
those attached to the legation, but
their doors are always open to all who
call.
w. n. Armstrong was looked TO by
callers to voice the opinion of friends
of the provisional government on the
news of the Alameda 1t was unex-
pected and grateful news, he said, to
hear that the provisional government
was already aware of Mr. Cleveland's
intention of restoring the monarchy,
and were still standing firm and pre-
pared to defend themselves. OF course
the news had not reached them that
there was widespread expression Of
public sentiment for them in the
United States This only can have
reached them yesterday by the War
rimoo from Vancouver. but the
friends of the provisional government
feel that any delay that brings nearer
the time when the provisional govern
ment shall receive news of the recep-
ton accorded by the public to Secre-
tary Gresham's letter gives added as
surance that the plan to restore the
ex-queen will be frustrated For this
reason the news of the past week in
Honolulu will be looked to with
special interest The earliest date
that this news can reach the outside
world by ordinary channels is Deem
