POLITICAL DREAMS SHATTERED.

Influence OF = Gontlola Ride Through the
Lsgoons Of tho Fair.
The music came softly, sweetly out
to the old man and his daughter as they
sat, half reclining, on the luxurious
cushions of the gondola, gayly deco
rated with Japanese lanterns.
The myriad of gay lights from the
cornices, from the roofs, from the
waters edge reflected in silver and gold
the ripples of the lagoon. High up
along the balcony they could see the
flaming torches, Pickering with Roman
reminiscence, and the white, CHASTITY
faces and dark forms of the people
looking down on the beautiful scene,
while all around the lagoon, sitting
upon the wide rail of the fence, lean.
Ing against the statuary, or moving
about with eager, restless tread, they
could see the thousands of sightseers.
In the distance they saw the simmer
ing, multi-colored waters and heard the
gurgling murmur of the fountains.
The stoical gondoliers dextrously
swung the gondola here and there
among the gay craft, laden to the
waters edge with merry parties of Ia
COON tourists. Once, in a pause of the
orchestral music there came to them
the twang of banjo. then happy
French song came ripping across tho
dancing waves.

CLAUS SPRECKLES.

Charged With Instigating tho Hawaiian
Revolution Mixed Up la wild Plots.
New York, Feb. 1.-Unless rcports
now current in well informed circles
are very far from the truth the tidy
sum of $40, OOO, 900 of profit is the stake
which Mr. Claus Spreclsles, the million
aire sugar refner, stands to win should
Uncle Sam decide to take the Hawaiian
islands into his family. This sum rep
resents immediate results, increasing
most bountifully when future profits in
the sugar business are considered
This report has given rise, according
to dispatches from San Francisco, to
unpleasant rumors about Mr. Spreclxles'
part in the overthrow of the queen 1t
is said that the sugar king is mixed up
in the deepest aud widest political
plots and that the present state of at
fairs is due to his manipulations and to
his ambition to increase his wealth.
The dispatches say that he has system
atically worked with the deposed queen
to gain her confidence. ruin the fnan-
cial standing of her government and SO
discredit her as to bring about the rev.
olution.

THE HAWAIIAN TROUBLES.


President Harrison said to ce Firm In tho
Determination That No Other Cohntry
Shall Take Possession OF tho Island.
WASHINGTON, Feb I've cannot
allow any other country to take pos
session of Hawaii. and so long rs ! am
president of the United States we shall
not do So"
President Harrison thus replied TO a
personal friend, who called on him to
discuss the all-absording topic of the
day. The president had not fully made
up his mind on the question of annexa-
ton. He has an opinion. based on the
Geographic reports, but nations do not
act on reports, except they be official,
and while the president does not doubt
the accuracy of the Hawaiian revolu-
ton, he will await the arrival of the
commissioners Of the Hawaiian pro-
visional government before determin-
ing what course to recommend to con-
gress.
His present opinion may be learned
from the following, which is verbatim
account of the presidents remarks, Us
repeated by the person 10 whom the
president made them.
The president said: I'm settling this
Hawaiian question the government has.
certain duties to discharge. 1t should
discharge those duties without regard
to the wishes Of Great Britain or any
other power In short, this govern
ment should act as II there were no
other powers in existence. My opinion
is that we should guarantee to the pro-
visional government a protectorate I'M
til we can make careful examination
into the whole affair. If we should
find that the natives are qualified, they
should be allowed to vote on the ques-
ton of annexation.
II hear, however, that they are not
qualified. If that be so, then we should,
think endeavor to revive the old re-
lations which ended with the dethrone-
ment of the queen, but on q permanent
basis. II that be Impractical or unsafe,
we should favor permanent protector
ate with the queen nominally rein
stated, and if that, too, be deemed I'M
safe, we should, without hesitation, an
mex the islands. At all events we can
not allow any other country to take
possession of them, and so long as ] am
president of the United States we shall
not do So"
The senate can ratify protectorate
which would bind our government,
without the necessity of legislation.
which would require action by both
houses Of congress. Annexation could
not be accomplished without the adop-
ton Of bill by both branches of
congress, and with the poverty of in
formation which will be at our COM
mand, even after the commissioners
have reported, it is not thought advis-
able to move in the direction of anneXa-
ton ut this time.

Don't Fret.

dayton (Ohic) Farmer and Workman.
During these times of financial furry,
under the above caption, an exchange
hits the mark by saying that a mans
earthly life is too short to waste any
portion of his time over any tritiing
matter of business. If a man has a
mind to be annoyed by every little
mishap that occurs in his establish
ment, he can keep himself in constant
hot water by worrying. There is
neither sense nor reason in flying into
a fit of passion because careless clerk
breaks fixture, or commits some
other trifling blunder. Constant fret
ting on the part of employers makes
clerks nervous, and in this condition
of mind and body they are far more
apt to make mistakes than they other
wise would be. Business worry wears
a man out rapidly, and when the habit
OF tussing is once acquired, it is ex-
tremely difficult to rid ones self of it.
There are men who work themselves
into perfect fit of passion over little
insignificant matters not worthy of
serious thought and cOnsiderat ton.
There are other men who fret because
they fear something unpleasant is going
to happen to their business career;
they may have obligations to meet, a
bill due at the bank, while their Gus
toners can not be depended upon to
help them out of a tight corner, but
there is no earthly use in borrowing
trouble until trouble comes, and then
every enterprising merchant should
manfully meet it. There is Il great
difference in merchants; some wear
themselves out before middle life, be-
come irritable, mOrose, suappish and
disagreeable in the conduct of a very
small business, while other men, with
vast interests and great responsible
ties, who are calm and well posed, pa
tlent and nervy live to good old age
without borrowing trouble or shatter-
ing their nerves over trltles.

A Humane Man is Humane to His
Beast.

Many persons intlict unnecessary
punishment and hardship upon their
teams through sheer thoughtlessness.
1t is cruel to tie horse and let him
stand for hours in the hot broiling sun
Of summer or exposed to the chilling
blasts of winter-to suffer him. to go
all day without food or drink, just as
much SO as it is to overload, overdrlve
Or numerically beat and jerk him.
But some people seem to overlook
this. And there is another common
abuse that comes from carelessness or
Indifference to the animals comfort.
The Kenton (Ohio) Democrat says:
As | walk around the square [ take
pains to notice the horses standing at
racks and look to see how many of them
are left unrcined. My estimate is about
one in twenty.
How thoughtless are the ma Ority of
people! They don't think that the poor
beasts which they hold under subsection
have any feelings. They don't seem to
realize that while q horse is standing
under tight rein the muscles of his neck
are at an extreme tension which must
certainly result in great pain to the
animal when long continued.
Have you ever noticed how quietly a
horse will drop his head when unreined
after he has been standing for hours?
Now there is a law against cruelty to
animals. If this isn't cruelty l don't
know what is.

Buying on Credit.
[Rural World.

Going in debt is not necessarily I'M
wise or improper debt is not neces-
sarily an evil. 1t is the habit of run
ming store bills that often lands man
in inextricable bondage and misery
which makes debt an inevitable nui-
sance. Many man will buy that
which is not absolutely necessary when
running a store account, who would
hesitate to make a similar purchase if
he had to pay the cash out ofhis pocket
on the spot. How many have, for the
sake Of possessing machine which
they could not use one month in the
year, overwhelmed themselves in debt
to the tune of hundreds ofdollars, when
by associated effort one such machine
would have served the purpose of a
neighborhood. Again, on the other
side it has paid many a young, thrifty
and energetic man to by farm on
credit when he had only money enough
to stock it and provide the implements
essentially necessary. Thousands of
men have succeeded under such circum-
stances in earning a farm in a few
years who would otherwise have drag
ged their weary way along as farm
laborers, earning but little more than
enough to live on. Buying goods on
credit and running store accounts is
an intolerable source of worry and
annoyance.

AS to Silver Coinage.
IPittSbOrO Record. ]

Some persons and papers (who
ought to have known better) have re-
peatedly declared that the passage of
the repeal bill would not only "de
monetize' silver, but that no more
silver money would ever again be
coined in this country and that silver
bullion would be almost useless
commodity. And many persons
really believed such absurd state
ments.
Great must be their surprise then to
learn that Immediately after the
passage of this terrible repeal bill the
price of silver bullion actually advanced
two or three cents on the ounce! And
still greater must be their surprise to
learn that, Immediately after the
passage of this same horrible repeal
bill, the Treasury Department issued
orders to the United States minis to
resume the coinage of silver dollars
These dollars can be coined at the
rate of nearly S4,ooo,ooo month,
and they will be coined out of the
silver bullion heretofore purchased by
the Government and lying idle in the
Treasury's vaults. The amount of
this silver bullion subject to coinage
is lac, 1000, 900 ounces, and its coinage
will effectually refute the false clamor
about the decentralization of silver.
