pavenport Remembered.

The Harrison administration did not for
/ get John l. Davenport, chief Inspector OF
: elections for New York Although thou
sands Of things claimed its attention during
/ the last days it found time 60 zudIt the ac-
counts Of Davenport and make out check
/ for him. No doubt hundreds Of other more
/ meritOrious claims than this one of Daven-
ports had been waiting for approval for
many months, but they were passed over in
order that he might get bis money.
The amount of the check given to him
was S3l 900, and this money was for alleged
! expenses in connection with his Office. Dav-
export has drawn large sums OF money from
the treasury from time to time as chief in
specUor Of elections for New York, and the
very general impression is that whatever
services he has rendered have been Of a
partisan character. He is republican of the
bitterest sort, and his idea of his official
duties appears to be to assist the Republican
party. That party has always seen to 1t
that he was handsomely paid, and its lead
ers no doubt have felt satisfied that he was
worth to them all he got out of the govern
meut.
He is the Davenport who drafted the in
famous force bill that Reed, Lodge and
others came near having passed by the
Fltty-hrst congress If it had not been for
him it is not improbable that no such bill
would have been introduced into congress.
The S3l 900 he got from the treasury just
before the Harrison administration went
out Of office may be regarded as a reward
for partisan work. First Controller
OF the Treasury Matthews was partic-
ularly Jealous in putting this reward into
Davenports pocket. He doubtless was in
sympathy with the kind of work Daven-
port did.
Davenport will not get any more money
out OF the treasury very soon. His career
as an inspector of elections may be con-
sidered as practically ended. The Demo-
cratic party has no use for him and it will
be good while before the Republican party
win be in position to pay him for political
work

Funny Things Do Hannah.

At the Lyceum theater last night. says the
Rochester Union and Advertiser, two gentle
men sat in the front row next to
the orchestra Directly behind them sat
q gentleman and his wife. A few mo-
ments before the curtain went up one OF
the gentlemen in the front row put his arm on
the back OF his companions seat. While talk
ing to his friends he felt slight pinch on the
arm. On looking around he saw that the lady
behind him had turned to look up to the bal
cony, and in so doing had placed her hand on his
arm. Realizing that she had done so uncon-
sciously he did not move his arm.
Soon however, he felt a hard pinch. Think
ing that the best way to call the lady's atten-
tion to what she was doing would be to ask il
anything was wanted, the gentleman turned
and asked:
"What Is IL. madam"
Sir" said the lady, and Immediately the
husband blAzed up.
''What do you mean by speaking to my wifet'
he demanded.
Don't mean anything" was the reply, "but
I would like to know what your wife means by
pinchin9 my arm.
Then both men looked at the lady's hand,
which still rested on the arm. Both smiled, be-
came a little nervous and apologized. During
the rest of the performance the lady kept her
hand in her muf.

cold, Silver and "Coiu, {"

From tbs Hei1 York Journal of COmmerce( Ind.
We notice that there ia a general impression
that the treasury is under special obligation
to redeem some portion of the bonds or paper
currency In gold But this Is q great mistake
The gold certificates which represent deposit
Of gold are payable In that metal, and the silver
certificates are payable in silver. All other gov
ernment obligations are payable In coin, and
the huge silver pieces of which SbS, 474, S95 were
held in the treasury March ], will satisfy that
pledge as well as gold. IL Is said that a large
number OF people in the Interior and especially
at the west have: boarded the "Rreenbacks''
with the understanding that the government
must make some provision to redeem them in
the yellow metal, and that they have thus laid
by stock of gold. Thore are outstanding
$S46, 6sl ole of these notes, and the so-called
gold reserve" OF Sl0O 000, 900 is held to answer
any demand for their redemption. II this was
all paid out and the demand continued there
would be S246,0 900 600 still to b. provided for
with no gold Ia tie treasury 70 meet IL. IL
should be, and probably will be, the policy OF
the administration to maintain and provide for
gold payments, but the holder cannot insist
upon IL II other "coin" is rendered to him.

The Improvement Of the streets.

During the last city administration a
great deal Of street paving was done. The
people did not complain because they saw
they were getting something for their
money, and, besides, street improvements
help the city in many ways.
What is going to be the policy Of the new
council relative to street paving3 The peo-
pie would like to have the work OF paving
the streets continued.
II any Of the streets are to be paved this
year, the work should be done before the
beginning of warm weather or after the
beginning Of cool weather next fall. There
was considerable complaint of the disturb
ance Of the surface Of the streets last sum-
mer, and while no harm may have been
caused by it, nevertheless there is q feeling
that the upturning of the soil in hot
weather. however slight. is likely to be pro-
ductive of sickness.
The people want the street improvements
continued, but they don't want the i'm
provements made in summer.

most important business done at the ses-
sion about to end was the passage OF bill
to submit to the vote Of the people at the
general election next year a constitutional
amendment extending the right of suffrage
on all occasions to women of 81 years of age
or more. Heretofore the people Of Kansas
have backed up every movement toward
the enfranchisement of women, so it is more
than probable that after the next election
Mrs. Lease will have as many privileges at
the polls as her husband. The financial

There is danger Of offlce-seekers being
too previous" with this administration.
The advice that Mr.. Cleveland gave his
secretaries at the first cabinet meeting about
taking plenty Of time to make their seIec-
tions, indicates how he will go about max
ing his own selections. He means to take
plenty Of time, and nobody need try to
hurry him. The New York World has this
paragraph in It's Washington correspond
ence, which illustrates the point: There is
an enterprising young Georgian after the
Japanese mission, but he won't get 1t. He
is B. NJ. Blackburn, and he is hardly more
than IS years OF age. He is said to have
forfeited his chances by seeking an inter-
view with President Cleveland. in which he
urged his candidacy rather too warmly to
please the new executive. Mr.. Cleveland
does not take kindly to forward young men,
especially when they are after Offices"

not a Prlncess Of ROYAL Blood.


In letter to the New York Sun. George
Parsons Lathrop points out that Kaiulani.
who claims to be heir to the throne OF Ha-
wall, is not a princess Of royal blood. A
good deal OF sentimental gush is appearing
in the public print about her, and Mr.. La
throp thinks ID is about time the public
should know the truth. The monarchy In
Hawaii is not hereditary. When the reign
ing monarch fails to designate his success
sor q successor is chosen by the people.
Kalakaua was elected. He was not even a
man Of high rank. He had two sisters,
Liliuokalani and Likellke. The former mar.
ried John Dominis, a worthless American,
and the latter married an obscure young
Englishman named Cleghorn. The father
of this Cleghorn was one Of the poorer class
Of colonists in Sydney, Australia, and
drlfted to Honolulu.
On the death of Kalakaus, Liliuokalani,
or, as she was known. Mrs. Dominis, be-
came queen, Kalakaua having appointed
her his successor. Soon after Liliuokalani
became the head OF the government she
named ner niece, Kaiulani Cleghorn, the
daughter Of her sister Likelike, TO be her
successor.
Liliuokalani now poses as the deposed
queen, and Kaiulani Cleghorn is the prin-
cess that is now In this country talking
about Hawaii as "her vineyard" and solicit
ing sympathy in her own behalf.
No doubt Kaiulani has some sort of claim
to the Hawaiian throne, and her claim will
be recognized if our government should
decide to annex Hawaii. The pending
treaty provides for paying her $3.50 900
That amount would give her a very hand
some income.
