MOHLBR WRITES A PIECE.

We would advise the state board OF
agriculture to make an arrangement
by which its secretary can learn
something, if it is no more than to
keep silent on subjects Of which he is
so disgracefully ignorant as he is OF
Che money question. 1t might also
be a good plan for farmers, when
sending Secretary Mohler informa-
tion concerning crops and other agri-
cultural matters, to throw in a few
suggestions on the subject of finance.
There are 10000 farmers in Kansas
who can teach the old man on that
point, if he is not too old to learn.
We are led to make these sugges-
tions by an article published in the
Sunday Capital over Mr.. Mohler's
signature. 1t is simply a rehash Of
the nonsense published in the eastern
papers which represent the goldoc-
racy Of New York, and shows the
author to be fifty years behind the
times, or else wilful promoter Of a
false theory, and an enemy to the
people of Kansas. His article con-
tains so much that is utterly ridicu-
lous that we apologize in advance for
making the following quotation from
it:
The question is settled, and we trust for
ever, that this country has no use for fat
money nor for free and unlimited coinage
Of silver, which is in reality halfway sta
tion TO il. This question is 30 manifestly
settled, and by such an overwhelming vote
(nearly two to one) mot against silver as
money, but in favor of gold as the meas
urer of values that even a blind man can
see il provided only he opens his eyes.
should like to shove within the ocular
range Of those whose eyes are just beginning
to open, a thought or two.
First-The fallaoy of the arguments that
the so-oalled agricultural depression and
the industrial disturbances Of the last Eve
years are due TO q lack of sufficient Circu-
lating medium is thoroughly exposed by
the statement of one universally admitted
fact, namely, that during the last two de-
oades, or since the demonstration Of silver
in 1873, our country, Notwithstanding the
payment Of over $4,000, 100000 Of war debt,
has made more progress in the development
of material resources and enjoyed higher
degree of prosperity than il ever had done
in a like period in It's history. This mar
Velous progress has been made, and pros
perity enjoyed with gold as the standard Of
value and with circulating medium Of less
than half the amount our new school Of
inanCiers claim is necessary.
How does that sound from q man
who draws q salary from the state to
look after the interests Of the most
intelligent class of farmers on earth?
The question is settledl Why,
Mohler, you are in a more pitiable
condition than Rip Van Wlnkle was
when he swoke from his twenty years
sleep. You don't know what is going
on. You were thinking of the chinch
bug problem, or something else, when
you said the question was settled
It would be amusing as we'll as in
structive to see the shaking up SEQ
retary Mohler will receive from the
Kansas farmers on this subject After

Must Have q Cable.

There is still a little room left on
the globe for telegraph cable extern
sion and assuredly some Roadway
should be made in crossing the Pa
cific by way of Honolulu, when
such insignificant places as the
Seychelles Islands and Mauritius
are forthwith to have cable laid
from Zanzibar by the Eastern Tel
egraph Company, which for this
purpose receives a guarantee of
$4,000 per annum for twenty
years. Great Britain and India
are parties to the guarantee. If
such islands are deserving of
cable surely the Sandwich Islands
are, and the work should not be
delayed a month after annexation.
Another illustration of British pa
ternalism is seen in a guarantee of
3 per cent bonds issued by Mauri-
titus for 100000. The minimum
price paid was 101, but the bonds
went for 105, and the bidding ag-
gregated e5,00O,000. With this
show of confidence the Mauritius
will soon recover from the ravages
of the late hurricanes. F. Call.

The naval power that has d station
there can control the entire commerce
OF that part of the world. That COM
merce, especially the American inter
est in 1t, is destined to a great future.
Ever since Daniel Webster was Secre-
tary Of State and said to Hawaiian
representative: off England takes
those islands will make fuss about
IT." it has been taken for granted that
American interests are paramount
there and must be considered first.
Americans compose the great majority
or foreign residents, own by far the
most OF the capital Of that kingdom
and are the natural heirs to those ISL
ands should they fall TO a foreign
power. The English are jealous and
Keep watchful eye on them. While
the sentiment of this country is wisely
opposed on general principles to the
increase of national territory, it is not
wise to blindly and stubbornly object
TO taking territory which lies in a
position so vital to American COM
merce in the future. If the Nicaragua
Canal is to be completed it means a
tremendous growth of American COM
merce in the Pacific, and that in the
not very far future. The United
States has now an opportunity to es-
tablish her influence in the Pacific
Ocean that she ought not to neglect.
May the good and true men who
have come from Hawaii to make ar
rangements with the United States
Government succeed in their efforts,
and arrange mutual relations that
shall assure prosperity, peace and pro-
lection to my native land. My own
interest in 1t is from the fact that /
was born and spent the first twenty
one years of my life in those islands,
and have ever since kept in touch
with the condition of things there
The Hawaiians are kindly, intelli-
gent race, the finest, / believe, of all
the Polynesian tribes. In our late
Civil War a number of natives were
volunteers. A full regiment of Ha-
waiians could have been secured in
the Federal army without dollar of
bounty. Many more would have come
over but for the strict laws which kept
them at home.

Hospital Flower Society.

The Hospital Flower Society
held a meeting on Tuesday after
noon at the Y. M. c. A, at which
quite number were present and a
good deal of business was trans
acted. The officers were all re-
elected for the ensuing year, with
the exception of Mrs. Fuller, the
vice president, who wished to re-
sign. Mrs. Soper was elected in
her place. 1t was decided to make
the subscription for members 81 a
year instead of % cents month
as it had been formerly. The
treasurer reported a good sum in
the Postal Savings Bank, and it
was voted that certain aged man
in the Queens Hospital should be
kept for a month or longer, if it
was necessary by the society. Very
little money had to be spent for
flowers as so many people are
kind enough to give generously
whenever they are asked. A let
ter from Miss Carroll was also
read at the meeting, in which she
stated that the patients appreci-
ated the flowers and wished to
thank the young ladies who took
them for their kind and faithful
attention.

An Improved Wheel.

Bicycle riders have for years ex-
pressed the need of a gear that will
''even up" the power applied. The
most practical improvement of late
is the eliptical gear, in that the
higher gear is in operation not only
at the best position of the crank,
but also at the best position of the
riders leg; that is, not only when
the propelling power is exerted to
the best advantage, but also when
that power itself is greatest. The
practical advantage of this gear is
estimated to be at least 10 per cent.
over the power of the round gear
wheel. Its effect is particularly
apparent in hill climbing. The
next steamer from the Coast will
bring several OF the improved
wheels for the local agent of the
Columbia bicycles.

THE CABINET.
Presfdent-EIect Cleveland Makes
the Announcement.

LAKEWOOD, Feb. lh.-Presideht-elec
Cleveland officially announced the names
OF four members OF his Cabinet through
the Associated Press this evening. They
are Walter q. Gresham OF Illinois, secre-
tary of State John G. Carlisle of Ken
lucky, Secretary OF the Treasury, Daniel
S. Lamont of New York, Secretary Of
War; and Wilson s. Bisseil Of Buffalo,
Postmaster-General.
In making the announcements Cleye-
land said: There is no need of any
mystery in regard to the Cabinet, and it
is useless to indulge in speculation and
guesswork. l shall make no secret OF The
matter, but shall announce the names
OF the gentlemen selected to FIJI the posi-
tons as fast as receive their acceptances
and their permission to make the matter
public.
Cleveland would say nothing in regard
to the other positions or the men who are
mentioned in connection with them. 1t is
evident that Hoke Smith, Hilary A.
Herbet and others who have been men
toned are still under consideration.
Senator John Martin of Kansas and Dr.
s. j. Nealy OF the same State had long
talk with Cleveland to-day. They put
in strong claim for the selection Of Ex-
Governor J. w. Click, and left Lakewood
in happy frame Of mind.
The Advertiser says: Acquaintances
OF Senator Vest OF Missouri say to-day
that he told Cleveland some plain facts
yesterday when at Lakewood. Vest took
the journey by request of Cleveland.
Cleveland asked Vest what he thought OF
Gresham's selection, and the latter
promptly replied he thought it great
mistake, and that it would prove very
discouraging to Democrats who hoped
for Cabinet made up of men who had
always stood by the party. AS for q fight
beng made against confirmation, Vest
said he did not believe there was any
danger Of that. Cleveland listened very
patiently and made no criticism of those
Democrats who talk on Gresham. further
than to say that he believed they would
all agree in that he did perfectly right.
