EDITOR BAGG GETS EVEN,

A telegram received at this Of
Gee last night announced the COM
mitment of W. H. Barnes to Jail in
Tucson for term of ten days for
contempt of court.
Upon the receipt of this news
the editor of the Prospector sent
the following dispatch of sympathy:
w. FL. BARNES, County Jail, Tucson
Are you thar, Moriarity
S. c. BAGa.
And thereby hangs tale: Sew
eral years ago while his honor was
on the bench the Prospector vent
ured an editorial squib in connec-
ton with suit which had been
tried and decided against it. The
squib did not suit the fancy of
Judge Barnes, who cited the editor
to appear and show cause why he
should not be punished for con-
tempt. He could not show this
satisfactorily and was sentenced to
pay fine of $500 or to go to jail
for three hundred days.
A motion was made for q Jury
trial. He would not allow it. No
tice of appeal was given, but he
wouldn't listen to it. We tried to
square ourself with the sheriff and
have the liberty of his private Office
but he had received instructions
from the judge to lock the prisoner
behind the bars and treat him like
any other inmate, and We took our
medicine for few days aud the
fine was paid.
This will explain why we take
such an interest in his case and in
CURED so particularly and sponta-
neously after the whereabouts of
Mr.. Moriarity last evening. We
have received 10 answer to our tel
egram up to the time of going to
press. but the Tucson pa
pers received today confirm the re-
port that "Moriarty was thar"
We are not finding any fault
with Judge Barnes for his error of
-HiN-yse~ss asa-We have squared
that account and taken compound
interest in the bargain. But we
cannot see how this human being
could get in such hole after his
experience with contempt cases in
Arizona. To think a lawyer should
have rea ched the age of discretion
and not be able to keep out of Jail
is parody on our reformatory laws.
The last Legislature, seeing the
ecessity of an institution where
reform might be attempted before
punishment is inflicted, wisely pro-
vided for reform school, which
will meet just such Requirement is
as the present instance furnishes.
We do uot believe the prisoner
is beyond the reach of Christian in
fuence, and would suggest to Judge
Sloan that he turn the salvation
army loose into the cell occupied by
the misguided indivi dua and watch
the result b sfore giving mp all hopes
of his redemption. If the court
finds the county Jail too small for
the prisoner they can have HIM
moved in sections to.the erritori-
al prison. The Prospector is assur-
ed by the chairman of the board of
prison commissioners that he will
be treated there with the same
courteous consideration that is &C
corded other prisoners. --Prospector.

bued with the idea that silver is
new on parity with gold the same
as it was prior to the act of '73
which demonetized silver. This
can hardly be correct because the
act of 73 repealed all former acts;
the Bland act of 70 repealed the
act of 70; the Sherman act repeal
ed the Bland act and the last bill
repealed the Sherman act. This
does not revive any law that exist
ed prior to the act of 10. If silver
has now any status at all as cir
cplating medium we should like to
know under what law.

There seems to be a growing
desire on the part of a major
ity of the people on these
islands to buy goods from us,
and cur desire to sell them
grows also. Last week, we
had to employ extra men to
assist us in handling an un-
usually large volume Of bust
ness; the Australia. Amy
Turner" and IS. n. Castle"
having arrived during the week
with enough goods for US to
stock any ordinary store. Peo-
pie who have entertained the
idea that business" has been
out in the mountains gathering
ohelo berries during the past
few months will discover their
mistake if they will come into
our store any day; we have
been hard at it" all the time.
On the Castle we had a
new lot of Fischer Steel
Ranges of much superior
quality than any we have had
before; the steel is of double
thickness, and all parts are
finished in the best manner.
1t is acknowledged by cooks to
be the best range made, on ac-
count of their quick heating,
economy of fuel and superior
baking qualities. We sold
twelve of them between We'd
nesday and Saturday last; we
will sell double the number
during the present week.
The demand for the Hendry
Breaker does not diminish:
every few day we get orders
from managers Of plantations
who want to simplify their
work and get the largest
service with the least supply
of mule force. It's pretty gene
rally understood now a days
that the Hendry Breaker is the
only pillow that fills the re-
quirements. Where six and
eight mules were formerly
used in blowing four and six
now do the work and gambol
over the green sward at the
end of the day like delegates
to a democratic convention.
AS humanitarians we are pleas
ed to think we have done
something that brings joy to
the heart of a mule.
We can fill orders at all
times for. IL, IA or Is inch

The appointment of Hon. Samuel
NJ. Damon to be minister Of finance
which has been unofficially an.
bounced, will receive the hearty
land almost unanimous support OF
the taxpayers of Hawaii That
the annexationists will endorse
Mr.. Damon is beyond question.
The times are such that none but
conservative and patriotic men
should be placed. at the head OF
affairs. While the government
does not fear the future, yet no
mistakes of commission or omis-
sion should be made. 1t is espe-
cially important that man of Mr..
Damon's character and capability
should succeed Mr.. T. G. Porter,
who, perhaps, has done more in a
short time in Strengthening out
Hawaiian finances than any of his
immediate predecessors.

Record of Brands.

The chief clerk of the interior
office has the new record for brands
well under way, by authority of the
act passed by the legislature of
1892, which provides that all
brands shall be recorded on or be-
fore July 1, 1893. Thus far 142
brands have been recorded, and the
central column containing fac
similas of the brands, looks very
much like some of the hierographic
inscriptions on Cleopatra's needle.

GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
An Interesting Episode in His
Career.


Career.
An interesting episode in the
eventful life of General Armstrong,
the president of Hampton institute,
was told by Robert c. Ogden while
addressing the Hampton institute
conference at the art club on Mon
day evening, says the Philadelphia
Record of May Sd. Within forty
eight hours after graduating from
Williams college, in 1862, young
Armstrong had organized New
York company and was on his way
with it to the front as its captain.
He did not receive his first real
baptism of fire, however, until the
battle of Gettysburg. On the Sec
ond day of that crucial fight his
company was moved down by the
fearful artillery fire from General
Alexander's guns, and when the
muster roll was called that night
it was found to be almost COM
pletely anpihilated. With the de-
cisive promptitude that always
characterized his actions he at once
began to organize another company
from union stragglers, and by the
next day had formed an efficient
battalion. With this hastily-gath-
cred band he attacked the right
flank of Pickett's column as it
charged the union ranks, and did
as effective work in checking its
onslaught as Colonel Standard and
his famous iron brigade, of Yer
mont, who have passed into history
for their bravery on that memoir
able day.

The statement relating to Ha-
waiian affairs prepared by ex-
Minister Stevens and published in
full in this paper yesterday is a
strong and logical arrangement of
the facts in this case. The royalists
feel this and are playing mum"
in as far as any REPUTATION is con-
cerned. They continue, however, to
heap personal abuse on Mr.. Stevens
by the penfull, and will probably
keep up the dirty work, like Pope's
Spider" until they hereafter turn
up as unprincipled ward politicians,
after annexation takes place. Then
they will just as likely abuse every
body who will not wink at or abet
their nefarious political schemes of
local nature. The only difference
between now and then is that now
all boodlers are royalists; under
annexation all sroyalists will be-
come boodlers, and as now will be
against good government and the
interests of taxpayers.

Speaking of ex-Minister Stevens
statement of facts reminds one OF
the significance of the following
words contained therein: "Under
the diplomatic and naval rules,
which were and are imperative, the
United States minister and naval
commander would have shamefully
ignored their duty had they not
landed the men of the Boston for
the security of American life and
the maintenance of public order,
even had the Committee of Public
Safety not requested US to do so.''
The royalists have had much to
say, after the Nordhoffian manner,
on this point, perhaps without TAX
ing sufficient care to inquire into
American usages and precedent.
The average royalist is a splendid
political campaigner until he meets
a fact, when he Immediately begins
mudthrowing. This has been prom
inently brought out in Mr.. Stevens
case.

If anything, the instructions sent
Mr.. Merrill in 1887, under Cleve-

much more specific and unlimited

could have done so much more

Thinking presumably he had
not laid sufficient emphasis on the
point Secretary Bayard repeated
the above instruction at the close
of his dispatch in stronger and
more specific terms as follows :
whilst We abstain from interfer-
ence with the domestic affairs of
Hawaii, in accordance with the
policy and practice of this govern
ment, yet obstruction to the chan
nels of legitimate commerce under
existing treaty must not be al
lowed, and American citizens in
Hawaii must be protected in their

sentatives of their country's law

Our little friend the Bulletin
wishes to be excused for its con-
temptible manner of securing n
copy of Mr.. Stevens statement, be-
cause, forsooth ! it has made the
first SCOOP" that journal has con-
tanned for many, many months.
The levity with which the Bulletin
admits its dishonorable action and
excuses itself because there are
other thieves and scoundrels in the
journalistic world, whom it is care
full not to specify, is certainly in
keeping with the paper and its
cause. Just so long as the Bulle-
tin refuses to state where it got
that "pen and ink" copy, It must
bear the odium of its dishonorable
act. The old game of mudthrow-
ing will not avail in this case, as
editorial patience is one of the
cardinal virtues when chasing a
thief who wishes 10 double and
escape. A reward is offered
in another column, by the
Hawaiian Gazette Company, for
the detection of the scoundrei who
revels in the confidence of the Bull
letin's editor-probably by mutual
stipulation-and it is very likely
that more light will be thrown on
the subject as soon as the facts can
be placed in Mr.. Stevens posses
sion. In the meantime the editor
of the Bulletin, which averages a
scoop" once in about two years,
can amuse himself hunting prece-
dents for his ungentlemanly course
and keeping his hand in at dirty
work by turning the crank of his
royalist organ.

La grippe was reported from thrty-two
localities, in some as epidemic; but it is
known TO have been quite generally dis
tributed throughout the State, though a
milder form than observed during the last
two winters. In several OF the localities il
was reported epidemic.
Three cases of smallpox were reported
from San Francisco. The origin of the dis
ease could not be determined. The pre-
ventiye measures adopted were strict quar-
antine by removal tn smallpox hospital, the
vaccination Of all exposed persons and dis
infection of premises occupied by the pa

THE STORY OF A BOULEVARD.
Oakland's Driveway Round Lake Merritt.

The matter Of Oakland's boulevard has
never yet beer presented in a nutshell.
Everybody knows that some people want
a driveway called boulevard from the
French word round Lake Merritt, and that
other people don't want it.
Most papers either eXals or condemn the
boulevard scheme wholesale. The Doodle
possibilities of its contamination are either
exaggerated or be.ittled, the necessity for is
OF the view thatit is a luxury are made to
dominate all that is written to the confusion
of the reader.
In presenting any clear statement OF the
trouble which is agitating the whole Of Oak
land it will be only necessary to go back to
1874, although plans and spe ifcations for
such purpose were submitted to and ap-
proved by the Mayor as early as 1868.
10 1874 the Legislature granted Oakland
certain lands in portions of the surface of
Lake Merritt north of the old charter line
for the purpose OF a water park. In 1889
the Legislature empowered the city TO ac-
quiTe land for the use of public parks or
public bOuleyards, or both, by purchase or
condemnation. The same act provided that
the boulevard could be acquired, main
tanned or improved either by special tax
or by the issuance Of bonds.
Under this statute. in 1890 an ordi-
nance was passed determining what land
was necessary for a boulevard and water
park. and on October 2. 1890. the property
owners owning land adjacent 10 the pro-
posed boulevard and water park conveyed
to the city their interest and title to lands
necessary for that purpose.
This conveyance. however. was Of course
only open TO acceptance for the particular
lands offered, and II was also coupled with

A STEADY WORKER
James Foley's Record on a
Gable Road.
THE VETERAN OF THE LINE.
He Helped Turn the Sod of the Clay
Street Line and Has Not
Missed a Day Since.

James Foley, who resides at 1719 Jones
been employed for the longest term OF any
cable railroad man In the world.
Mr.. Foley commenced work on the Clay
street line when the Clay-street Hill Rail-
way Company began building, aud assisted
at the ceremonies of turning the first sod"
That was in June OF 1872, and he has not
missed days work since.
Last Tuesday he thought he had earned
rest, and for the first time in twenty-one
years felt that he could conscientiously take
an extra wink in the morning and daily as
long as he pleased with his coffee at break
fast.
The veteran, as Mr.. Foley is known among
his streetcar associates, had not missed a
day from his post since he first commenced
work on the road, and his record stands high
in the estimation of his employers He was
always on hama and could always be de-
pended on in a case of emergency. He was
allowed half day to himself on Sundays.
but that half day he rarely got. as there
were often matters which required his at
tention in connection with his work, and
those half days were often taken up in
attending to them.
His chief employment was In superlntend-
ing the mechanical workings OF the road
and making the necessary repairs and alter
atoms, and he could be seen at all hours OF
the day and night when the cable was rum
ming somewhere along the line with his oil
can and repairing tools.
Mr.. Foley was at home yesterday after
noon enjoying the comforts Of his coy little
parlor, pleasure almost unknown TO him,
and feeling somewhat i'll at ease ut having
nothing TO do, but he said he was going to
be idle for while just to find out how it
felt.
81 have worked pretty steady" he said.
"and there are not many persons who will
stick TO job for twenty-one years at a
stretch and not grumble at not getting all
the holidays they want.
Il guess could have got all the holidays
| wanted. too, if had asked for them, but
if / went away something would be sure to
bret K and | would have to work all the
harder to put it in order again. SO was just
as far ahead by staying at work and attend
ing to business.
"My salary was not princely. but it was
steady Hundreds Of men get mnre than
S65 month. but there are not many out of
those hundreds who can save enough in
twenty-0ne years to take 10 easy afterward.
When I commenced work l didn't have a
bean. Now have three comfortable and
su bstantial houses in the center Of the city
and good wife, and l guess | am fixed Tor
the rest Of my days"
The ex-streetcar man ia not by any
means an old man. He is about As years Of
age, but looks much younger, and his
record may be taken as an example of
thrift and industry for San Francisco's
working men.
