saddle like man, and was mounted in a
jlffy, her kehae being so sklllfully man
aged that only a glimpse Of the nOioku
was caught sight of in crossing the sadd le.
The others followed suit. Panki PinaS,
who Is trit1e stout, was the only one who
required any assistance. Once mounted,
the ladies, who were accompanied by
Kamaku and kanuki, the two male Ha-
waiian musicians, started down Stockton
street at brisk canter Turning into Mar
ket street they at once became the center
of attraction; every body stopped to look
at the strange procession; all the win
dows were full Of spectators. The street
car slowed down TO crafty the curiosity of
the passengers. Handsomely dressed
ladies paused on the sidewalk and turned
green with envy at the sensation these
curiously dressed Sandwich Islanders
were creating. On entering Golden Gate
avenue the pace was increased to a hand
gallop. The hula-hula girls. led by KIM
Kalai, were riding well, each of them sit
ting up IN her saddle as straight as a
dart. The bOrses were scarcely visible for
the flying drapery, which was enly kept in
order by being pushed inside the stiTrup
by the pressure of the foot. The men ala
not ride nearly so well as the women.
In galloping up the avenue stOppage
was caused by poor Ane-Kupa becoming
nervous and dropping her handkerchief.
This recovered, on they went again. BY
this time everybody was at windows
and doors looking at the procession tn at

Tho Anticipation Bill Passes The
Senate.

The ''anti option billn passed yes:
terday by the Senate isa House bill
which has been amended in a mum.
Der of particulars by the Senate. 1t
provides that on and after July i,
1893, there shall be imposed on pro-
duce transactions in futures" or
"optioDs" at an exchange or board
of trade tax which is meant TO be
prohibitory, namely, a tax OF 5 cents
a pound on all raw cotton. hops,
pork, lard or bacon and 20 cents q
hushel on all wheat. corn, oats or
rye so dealt in. 1t is provided in adj
dition that dealers in futures or
"options" shall pay q license fee OF
81 900 a year. A "luture.n it may be
observed, is defined to be contract
by which one gets the right to de-
liver an article of agricultural pro
duce at a certain price at 81 future
time when the contractor doesn't
really own the produce or has not
already bargained for it. An "op
tion." for the purpose of the act, is
merely a contract by which one gers
the right to deliver an article OF agrl
cultural produce at u certain price
at future time. Provision, how
ever, is made, or attempted to be
made, to prevent the act from inter.
fering with the ordinary contracts of
farmers. 1t is intended, it is said, to
apply only to speculative trans
actions on boards of trade or en-
change, the result of which trans
actions. it is assumed, is to lower the
price Of agricultural products while
they are in the farmers hands and
advance the price after the farmer
has sold.
The idea has taken deep hold that
options aud futures affect the farmer
iniuriously and this bill aims to sup
press them. 1t does this by Il misuse
Of the taxing power. The proper
purpose of taxes is to raise revenue
for the absolute needs Of the govern
ment. To make taxes u means OF
protection" or destruction to any
interest is to violate a maxim OF the
widest acceptance. The fact that
the anticipation bill receives the sup
port of so many persons in the pres.
ant Congress illustrates the extent OF
the inconsistency or timidity OF
which our legislators may he guilty.
The fate of the bill remains to be
decided. 1t is possible that by means
of a conference committee the differ
ence between the House and Senate
as respects its provisions may be
reconciled. 1t is also possible that,
owing to the crowded state of bust
ness and the shortnesS OF the remain
ing lifetime of the session. the bill
may yet fail to become a law. 1t
could hardly fail, if enacted in it's
present shape. to do more harm than
good.-Baltimore Sun, list.

Washington's Birthplace.

Governor Mckinney has received .
letter from Mr.. r. J. Washington, of
Westmoreland county, Va, i'll which
he writes as follows concerning the
title to the birthplace OF General
Washington in that county:
1.-THE title to the site of Washing
tons birthplace is now, and has been
for some ten years, in the United
States Government. In June or JUL,
1882, I think. the owner Of the pro-
perty, Mr.. 7. z. Wilson. my brother
in law, conveyed to the United States
Government some eleven Or twelve
acres surrounding the site of the
birthplace, the government having
obtained from the Virginia Iegisla.
ture. at the preceding session, the
right to purchase and hold the pro-
peryt. The State of Virginia, which
held the title to the spot and one
acre of ground INN. diately surround
ing, also granted her interest in the
same to the United States Govern
ment. Just before this the Congress
of United States had passed bill
appropriating $50. 600 for the purchase
of the ground and the erection OF a
monument on the birthplace of Gene
raj WASHINGTON to perpetrate his
memory. This appropriation was by
the act of Congress placed under the
control of the Secretary OF State, With
directions to proceed to execute the
will of Congress and build the noun
ment. Secretary Evarts, with g par
ty consisting of members of his fami-
~, an engineer and an architect. came
down on government steamer and
visited the spot. He afterward sub
mitted design for the monument,
but there the matter stopped. Be
yond the purchase of the land men,
toned and a right of way from the
birthplace to the Potomac river, and
obtaining deed for the same. moth.
ing has been done, although vigorous
efforts have been made to influence
each Secretary of State since then to
go ahead with the work. The delay
has been extremely annoying and
wholly unaccountable."

Mr.. Wise Leaves Southern Club.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Mr. John
Sargent Wise has resigned from the
Southern Society of New York. His
resignation is the subject of CONVEX.
sation among Southern members
whenever they meet. The cause was
an episode in the clubhouse a few
weeks ago. In n speech at Cooper
Union Mr.. Wise had made a compar
ison between the Democratic plat
form of today upon the tariff and
the Confederate constitution of war
times. Mr. Wilton Randolph, q Vir-
gilman, was one Of the Southern Dem
ocrats who objected to the analogy.
Mr.. Randolph afterward refused to
shake hands with a friend of Mr..
Wise who was taken to the club.
The matter came up before the House
committee and Mr.. Wise, as a conse-
quence, handed in his resignation
Mr.. Wise and Mr.. Randolph repre-
sent two of the most distinguished of
Virginia families, the one being a
son of the late Henry A. Wise, the
other being a lineal descendant of
Thomas Jefferson.

ELIZABETH, N. j. January 28-
Samuel A Whitley, q telegraph ope-
rator here, became violently insane
this morning from cigarette smoking.
and he had to be taken to the insane
asylum. He fought with half tloz-
EN- policemen, and had to be put into
a straightjacket before he could be
got under control He was found
last night lying on Spring street, and
was taken to Police Headquarters,
suffering, as was supposed at first,
from alcoholism. During the night
his insanity developed, and this
morning he was a, terrible sight in
his cell. He made frantic efforts to
butt his brains out against the cell
door. Whitley is forty-fye years
old, and has been at the telegraph
business since he was fifteen. He
has always smoked the very strong
est kind of tobacco, which he has
rolled into cigarettes and inhaled tire
smoke. The physicians who saw him
to-day say that there is no doubtthat
his malady is due to this pernicious
habit. They do not think he can
live over week.

r;,l inference from his coyness in the
matter. is that be does not believe
that he is in the race. Ee has not
announced himself as q candidate
and does not know that he will. His
action will depend "uponth situa-
