THEORIES OF The CRIME.

There are already new theories of the
Borden murder in plenty. They have
a faint coloring of .plausibility, some OF
them, but they offer little that will at
tract the attention ofpeople accustomed
to the work of tracing crime and de-
teeting criminals.
The task before those who hope to
solve the bloody mystery is one of the
most severe that has ever been under
taken by detectives in this country.
The lapse Of nearly eleven months time
is factor which might well discourage
the most persistent and hopeful.
Yet there are circumstances connect
ed with the Borden murder that ought
to give shrewd men hints for the begin
ming Of the labor of ferreting out the
crime. There has up TO the present
time been almost nothing done. What
has been done has all been in tie line OF
trying to force certain known facts and
circumstances into such appearance as
would justify the accusation against
Lizzie Borden. The true value OF The
clues has scarcely been at all consid-
cred, unless they could be forced to lend
themselves to strengthen the theory OF
the Fall River police.
So far AS real detective work of a
high order is concerned the Borden
murder still presents practically wiz
gin field. The way to fame is wide
open, and if there are any detectives in
America who are worthy the name they
will probably never be given such a
glorious opportunity t. win great fame
as now awaits them i'm Fall River.

IT WAS A FlASCO.

1t is not at all surprising that the
caucus of the city council, called by the
mayor. resulted in fasco, so far as
settling the license board question is
concerned.
This not at all surprising when it is
remembered that small clique in the
board of aldermen has set itself up in
opposition to the majority, not only in
the matter Of electing license commits
sioners but in the still more vitally i'm.
portant matter of passing plumbing
ordinance and choosing an inspector.
1t is evident the combine in the board +,
which has twice refused the invit alton
of the common council to meet in joint
convention, desires to escape the respon-
sibility for its refusal to do its plain
duty but the people are not likely to
be deceived as to where the blame rests
by caucus at which but fraction of
the councilmen were present and in
which a still smaller trac ton partici-
pated.

A BILLION DOLLAR IDEA.

Percy Daniels is the lieutenant gov
ernor of Kansas. He is of the Populist
persuasion, and is possessed Of an idea.

bations that deal with paltry millions,
but big, bulging, bewildering, colos-
sal idea, with billions in it. Mr.. DAN
iels does not propose to keep this pro-
duct of his genius to himself, but rather
to share its benefcen. results with all
the people of this great republic.
Briefly stated the Daniels idea is To
impose an income tax of per cent. on
incomes Of from 81 900, 900 TO s, ,OO0, 900,
per cent. on incomes of from e., ,0O0, ,O0O
TO $1,000. 600. per cent. on incomes OF
from t5,eo0,00 to Si0,eeo,00 and Is
per cent. on all incomes over SIC, 900, 900.

likely to press heavily upon working.

THE PAWTUCkET CASE.

The organ of the Democratic machine
In Pawtucket tells the board Of alder
men that it should have some common
sense and call another special election
in the second ward. In all probability,
however, the taxpayers who have al
ready been mulcted to the tune of
81, 400 for the seven trials already made,
will deem it an exercise of common
sense" if the board maintains its posi-
tion and declines to order another cleo
ton unless compelled to do so by the
supreme court, which has been appealed
to by the machine.
City Solicitor Barnefield has filed his
answer to the petition for writ Of
mandamus, in which it is shown that
seven attempts have already been made
to choose members of the city council,
and that they have been uniformly
unsuccessful. Further, the answer de-
clares there is no probability of a diff
ferent result should new election be
called. The ward is still represented,
and there can be no claim that its in.
terests will suffer because of failure
to order another trial.
Another point, and 1t seems to be q
strong one, is raised by Mr.. Barnefield's
answer. II is that the power to call an
election conferred upon the board is of
such nature that in exercising it the
board in ust use its discretion. 1t there
fore partakes of the judicial quality and
is not renewable unless 1t is shown that
there has been misconduct amounting
to a wilful abuse of this discretion.
Whether OF not this is good law 10 is
certainly common sense, for it must be
generally admitted that it would be
both dangerous aud costly to rob the

matter there. He has gone to its very
insrrov and figured out that the govern
ment will realize every year $2.OOO,-
600. 900, which will be $1,000, ,OOO,Ooo IN
excess of the cost of maintaining the
government. Thus at the end OF every
twelve months the government can
pay to every man, woman ana child In
the country, without regard to the pre-
vious condition of their pocket books,
about $25 in cold hard cash.
Did ever reformer hold out a more
dazzling prospect to the view OF an OPP
pressed people? Surely, when the Dan
iels idea is realized the millennium Will
be with us. Twenty five dollars a year
for everyone How many bars OF soap
will that buy for the weary anarchist
after hard days toll in emptying beer
mugs? How many shaves and hair cuts
can Herr Most indulge in when a gen.
erous government divides its income on
communtstic principles with the follow
ers Of the red flag? And when this
Daniels idea becomes condition and
not theory may we not expect that
shining light among statesmen-Jerry
Simpson--to indulge in the luxury OF
pair of socks?
Some doubter may suggest that 1t be
necessary to corral the income before
the tax can be squeezed out, but uh-
doubtedly such brilliant genius as Mr..
Daniels will not allow his idea to perish
because of such an Insignificant matter
of detail as that.

IA Word
To the Wise.

This is going to be a bad
summer, it is said, for all kinds
of business.
That depends.
1t may be hard or it may
be quite the reverse, accord
ing as the merchants decide
that it shall be.
Goods will be sold, and
those merchants who are will
ing to make a study of the
situation and adopt extra
means to meet the exigency
will be able in the Fall to
congratulate themselves upon
\ the dull seasons business.
1t is merely a question of
advertising.
That's all.
The merchant who is
shrewd enough to determine
now to make a study of the
art of telling people what he
has to sell and why it is for
their advantage to buy, and
to courageously apply known
principles, is as certain to
come Out in fine condition at
the end of the misnamed
"dull' Summer season as the
season is to end with the last
hot days of August.
If any Of the merchants of
this goodly city feel that they
would like to be among the
lucky ones next Fall, and are
not quite sure how they can
get there, the News will at
tempt to solve the problem
for them, and will undertake
to assure them of results that
will be entirely satisfactory, if
they will give us a commits
sion liberal enough in its
terms to enable us to apply
advertising principles that
have been proved succussful.
We do not mean as to
price, which is regulated, but
as to method and substance
of the advertising.
During the summer we
propose, if any advertiser de-
sires to have us do SO, to un-
dertake to see that their adj
vertising is effectively written
and that the type used speaks
with emphasis and in a per-
suasive tone of voice.

No mention is made of what

fact the last item of receipts
from that source was announced
in the statement of October 11th.
But as there is not any change
in the item Due Postal Saw

there have not been any receipts
from that source.
If the Postal Savings Bank is

of the receipts and payments
should be included under a
separate head, in the Weekly

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

In the Advertisers editorial of
Yesterday. the semi-official organ
said that by the establishment of
a permanent government friendly
to the Hawaiians confidence,
would again be restored, and the
stagnation caused by the present
unsettled state of affairs would
cease. What's matter with the
organl Haven't we every week
been treated to an eulogy over
the present administration-espe-
cially when a mail steamer was
leaving-haven't we been told
that never no, never had there
been such feeling of security in
business icircles as now, hasn't it
been dinged into our years that
now for the first time in the
annals of Hawaii, was there an
absolute and positive confidence,
and all because the monarchy
had been overthrown, and the
good, the wise, the only P. G.
placed in power. And now
after all that cant and rot
has been printed and the
Advertisers valuable (??) space
wasted, comes the editor and
states that there is no confidence,
no feeling of security, but that
these can only be gained by the
establishment of a permanent
government full of loyal care for
the preservation of the aboriginal
race of Hawaii. Are there two
editors to that paper or has it
two policies!

The Star element, has been
taught many a lesson by the con-
servative annexationists who are
to a certain extent represented
by the Advertiser. The ultras
howled for the Queens deporta-
tion-and were sat on. They
howled for the dismissals of all
suspected royalists from Office
and they were sat on. They
howled for the same thing again
and again-and were sat on
every time. They are now rather
crushed and although the Star
considers it duty to blow the
small tin-trumpets of the uitras
as loud and as noisely as it can
they all realize that they will not
be consulted in regard to the
shaping of the form of our
coming government. They can
be left out of consideration iu
the convention which the Adver-
tiser element has suggested.

There are many rumors which
are always being circulated IN
Honolulu, especially in regard to
politics, that are often very annoy
ing to the parties with whom the
rumors deal. One of the latest
victim, is the Reverend Father
Lenore, who has been extremely
annoyed by a silly rumor stating
that he had said that Minister +
Willis had made certain impor-
tant disclosures to him when they
came down together on the steamer
from the coast. The reverend
gentleman has in consequence
been pestered with questions from
the very large circle of people
with whom he is acquainte d
and has been busy denying the
preposterous yarn. Anybody
conversant with diplomacy would
of course be aware that Minister
Willis certainly would not tell
anybody the secret of the Amer
lean decision in regard to Hawaii
which has been guarded in the
most unusual manner by the
Washington administration and
anybody knowing the good
Father would certainly be aware
that he would be the last man to
make any such statement. We
trust the Reverend gentleman
will be left in peace in the future
from the gossips and news
mongers.

ton which demands that all
government officials shall become
soldiers. We hardly think that
the Senator's proposition viii go
through because anything more
absurd has seldom been produced
not even from tnat source. To
force man to become a rotuntssr
is rather ridiculous, and to arm a
number of men whom the Senator
himself claims he does not trust
because he suspects them of
royalistic sympathies, we should
consider dangerous. Besides
this We should suggest that the
time to take such a step has gone
bv. Minister Willis is here with
full instructions to act on behalf
of the United States in the Ha-
wailan matter. His instructions
are based upon Mr.. Blount's
report of the situation and
circumstances as he found
them here and although they are
kept a profound secret nobody
can doubt that the United States
will assist in settling the
trouble here-as they assisted
in creating it-and we should
think that it would be wiser and
more in conformity with tact and
courtesey on behalf of the Pig.
not to take any steps at present
which may be misunderstood,
yes, even interpreted as hostile.
There is no more need for soldiers
here to-day than there was two
or five months ago. There will
be no attempt on the part of the
Hawaiians to gain their rights
by an insurrection, and the gov
ernment is perfectly well aware
of that fact. The Hawaiians are
perfectly satisfied with leaving the
destiny of their country in the
hands of the United States and
they have sufficient assurances
that Justice will be done them.
Why then should a number of
peaceful government officials who
attend to their business and
thereby do their duty to their
country be forced to rig tnem-
selves out in ridiculous uniforms
and stamp around to the still
more ridiculous commands of
of a lot of shop-keepers or tin
smiths, as if their country was
in any danger whatsoever We
need say no more on the subject,
because we are perfectly sure
that the sensible portion of the
councils will consign Mr.. Emme-
luth's military resolution to its
proper place-the waste-basket,

The Star is very amusing in
in its efforts to enlighten Mini
ster Willis in regard to Hawai-
ian affairs. Last night the an
nexation organ expressed hope
that the minister would soon
realize what liar Mr. Nordhotf
is and how very wrongly he has
represented affairs here. The
Star is, to say the least, ignorant
of many things which have hap
pened here. One of them which
it some day will learn is that
Minister Blount's report of Ha-
waiian affairs viii to great ex-
tent corroborate all that Nord-
hoff has written-and, after all, it
is that very report which has
been the guidance of the Wash
ington administration IN the in
structions under which the pre-
sent minister will act. The Star
is not successful in furnishing
information. We were promised
some very damaging information
in regard to Consul General
Mills. but beside some abuse Of
Mr.. Mills. we never noticed that
the Star came up to its promises
Abuses against Mr. Charles
Nordhoff will probably fall very
fat on the ears of the American
Minister who undoubtedly has
