Extravagance and Economy.

A foolish discussion is that one
about the relative extravaganza of the
Fifty-hrst and the Fifty second Con
gress. The measure of extravaganza
or economy is not the sum expended.
but its relation to the means of pay.
ment and the degree of usefulness or
necessity in the objects of expendi.
ture.
1t is possible for one Congress BY
ordalning certain expenditures and
making no sufficient appropriation to
meet them, to throw the apparent re
sponsibility of the cost upon the Con,
gress following. This was what was
done to an unusual extent by the Reed
Congress.
1t passed dependent pension ac,
that required an increase of nearly
$Ioo, 100000 in the appropriation by
the Congress following; it passed the
sugar bounty act, which cost nothing
IN Its own term, Eut $40, 900 ir
that of the next Congress, and SO or
through list that will aggregate a,
least $I5s,ooo,ooo
This money had to be appropriated
by the Congress that has just expired
since the Senate and the President
would not ns-nt to the repeal O
any OF the acts requiring it. Thu,
at least this much of the appropriation
of the Fifty-second Congress is really
chargeable to the Fifty-frst
The actual appropriation by the
Fifty-second Congress were some
S3S,ooo,ooo more than those of tn,
Congress proceeding. But the ap
proprlations over which this lates
Congress had actual control-thost
that had net been obligatory by the
former Congress-will show reduct
ion OF nearly $I63 100000.
The Reed Billion dollar Congress.

Judge Gresham will be the father of
the new Cabinet in matter of years.
He is in his sixty-second year J. Ster
ling Morton will, however, be close
second, as he is just turning sixty.
Hoke Smith, who is only thirty.eight,
will be the baby of the Cabinet. Car
Isle is not far behind Gresham and
Morton, while Lamont, Bissel, Herbert
and Olney are all under fifty. The
average of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet is
considerably under that of the Harri-
son Cabinet. Comparatively speak
ing, Mr.. Cleveland has selected a Cab

probably the youngest man to hold a
Cabinet position since the days Of
Alexander Hamilton. The combined
weight Of the Cabinet is 1000, or an
average of 200 pounds each. Mr.
Cleveland will bring the total up to
over 1900 pounds, so the new admin.

A bill has been introduced into the
legislature, that ought to become a
law. 1t provides that members of
town council should be allowed one
dollar for every meeting they attend,
providing they do not exceed two a
month. There is no reason why men
should serve the public in such places
without receiving some compensation,
and one dollar meeting is little
enough for any person that is capable
of performing the duties Of the Office.

Cleveland at Church.

If Mr.. Cleveland came to church he
became the object ofthe utmost curios-
ity from the time that he entered.
People sitting in front of him turned
and stared in his face. People behind
craned their necks to get a glimpse of
the back of his head. People sitting
on either hand kept their eyes fixed
on him and noted every movement
that he made.
The pew just in front of the Pres
ident, fortunately, was occupied by one
of the regular members of the congre-
cation, a well-known Washington at.
torney, who was constant in his at
tendance, and who thus saved the Pres
ident the embarrassment of being
stared out of countenance. No strangers
ever got into that pew
Mr.. Cleveland's embarrassment die
not cease with the close of the service
Instead of leaving the church in ar
orderly way, the members of the con
gregatlon would gather along the aisle:
and at the back of the church and wal
for the President to pass out; and il
his progress he was stared at persist
emily.
When he reached the stairway h,
found the same crowd waiting for him
and on the sidewalk was more of it
1t did not let him escape until tht
door of his carriage closed on him anC
he was driven away to the White House
If Mr.. Cleveland did not learn t.
hate his. church,going in his heart it i
a wonder.

A TRIP FOR TOURISTS.
EVA PLANTATION AND ITS
NEW SCENES.
One Of the Interesting Points Of View
in the Environs Of the Hawaiian
Capital.

Sapltal
Punchbowl the Pail and Waikiki
"drive," the Eva plantation is the next
place to be visited, and owing to the
rapid transit over the O. r. & L. rail
way and the comfort of it all, the trip
is one not to be disregarded. Riding
in airy passenger coaches, now through
the taro patches, rice fields and banana
groves of the low lands, again skirting
the shore of Pearl harbor with the most
interesting views Of bay and mountains,
and of numerous picturesque kuleanas,
ones interest never flags.
Pearl City passed, the train soon
penetrates the cane fields of the plan
tation when the smoke stacks of three
immense pump houses and the big
sugar mill, and the little white cottages
oftbe employees loom up in perspective,
while the monotony of the cane fields
is broken by the plantation engines
pulling dumpy little cars filled with cane
to the mill, or empties to the workmen
in the field, who are gathering the crop
The Eva Plantation is one Of the
newest on these islands, but within
another year or two it will have become
one of the finest and most important
The second crop of cane is now being
gathered and transformed into sugar
and shipped to the United States. To
appreciate the perfect arrangement of
every detail in the management of the
plantation, one should study the prac-
tical working of it all, beginning with
the gathering of the cane in the field
and following the revolution until its
product is placed in the shiphold for
export.
Loaded on tram cars brought to the
workmen over portable tracks it IS
taken to the mill, weighed, sliced up,
conducted to the diffusers, where the
saccharum is extracted by intensely
hot water and compression combined;
the coagulation of the liquid by eX-
posure to heating in confinement, fiji
tered, converted into syrup thence to
quadruple- effect when it is evaporated,
thence to the centrifugals when the
sugar is separated and later sacked
This process, while an intricate one, will
be gone through with within an in
credibly short time, and cane that is
cut in the morning may be aboard
a vessel at night and on its way to
market.
The Eva plantation has 400 acres
in cane this season, one-half of which
has already been cut, and two steam
plows are now at work preparing ground
for an additional 500 acre field which
will be planted this season and form a
portion of next years cane crop Water
for irrigation, steam and domestic use
is secured from a number of artesian
wells, and conducted into reservoirs by
the aid of three huge pumps at different
points on the plantation the water
secured is sufficient for double the
amount Of ground planted or preparing.
AS an indication of what the cane OF
the Eva Plantation will produce, a
field of G64 acres produced over tons
of sugar to the acre, so far as cut, the
Fl acres still standing being equal il
not superior to that harvested.

A Story Of Judge Gresham.

General Mcpherson is one of Judge
Gresham's heroes. Gresham has a
habit, when in Washington, of going
into Mcpherson Square every pleasant
day and sitting down near the statue of
the General. The Judge was with
Mcpherson at Peach Tree Creek, and
when the former was wounded General
Mcpherson hearing of it at once sent
his own surgeon to dress the wound.
The leg was bandaged, Gresham was
put on a litter and the doctor ordered
him to be carried back to the TEN.
porary hospital in the rear of the lines,
There was some delay, and meantime
the fight ragged with fatal ferocity about
Mcpherson. When CIR, sham's litter
reached its destination the first thing
that met his eye was the stretcher
bearing the dead general. Mcpherson
had been killed, and his body had
reached there ahead of Gresham.

IRISH AND STEWART.

When General Irish of California
and Senator Stewart of Nevada met
in debate at the Ogden Congress,
each found in the other foeman
worthy of his steel. 1t was battle
of eloquence and rhetoric on one
side against argument, sound logic
and reasoning on the other. Irish
secured his applause from the un-
thinking lovers of oratory and word
painting, and Stewart got his from
the masses; those who are so placed
that they must think and reason for
themselves. This applause came
from the home, the fireside; it came
from the throats of those who recog-
nized in him a champion of their
cause because it was a just one.
They realized that he cared naught
for any personal gain or favor; he
was uttering an overwhelming argu-
ment in behalf of the toilers
throughout the land, and applause
coming from the hearts of such men
as these must have been a welcome
sound to the noble old champion as
he stood bareheaded in the midst of
that vast concourse of people, over
throwing all gold bug arguments and
trampling under foot the lies, frauds
and yillianies practiced by the enc
mics of honest money.

The Dead Alive.

Saranac Lake, n. Y, May 3. = A
woman named Carson, residing near
Lake Kushavagua, having apparently
died of heart disease, was laid out in
a coffin, and while a wake was being
held last night those in the death
chamber were Mortified to see the
supposed corpse rise to sitting posi-
ton. Nearly all those present were
women and they ran out screaming
in terror.
A daughter of Mrs Carson fell out
side the house and expired. The
mother, in bewildered way, slowly
emerged from the coffin and gazed
about her upon the candles and other
evidences of death. She did not seem
to mind the death of her daughter,
and to-day is about as usual, though
speaking and moving in dazed way.

The fight in the coming campaign
is between the free silver forces of
the West and South against the gold>
bug aristocracy of the East. Cleve-
land Democracy is Wall street poli>
tics pure and simple, and that is
emphatically single gold standard
and a high tariff. Cleveland will
fail to have the tariff repealed, and
will try to bring about the other.
Free silver and Wall street Demo
cracy cannot long train together.
There will be a clash sometime.
Then the Peoples party will grow
like cottonwood tree. The con-
flict between the South and West
and the East is at hand. 1t cannot
long be avoided. The people are
moving. Press, Winfield,
