FOOLS AS STATESMEN.

Hawaii With American UOlQFed Women
Special Correspondence.
Senator Hosr has over exercised his
patriotism and is betraYing signs of the
Impeachment" epidemic. Evidently his
part Of the republican party program in
congress is to raise the Hswaiin matter
to the rank OF first-class national issue,
Scarcely a day passes but the Masss-
chusetts senator risks RpopleXy via
muscular orstory aud red-taced denun-
citation Of Mr.. Cleveland's paternsl soil
citude for Liliuokalsni Seriously and
truly, Senator Hoar and other republi-
cans in congress think, or make believe
to, that the president has SO far over
stepped the limits Of his constitutional
prerogrstive as to merit impeachment.
All Of which may be true, as looked at
from the standpoint of the constitution
whose especial defender and knight
errsnt is Senator Hoar.
Several months since / started in the
columns Of the ADVOCATE suggestion
that Grover Cleveland should be i'm
peached for conspiring against the well
fare Of the country in willfullY bringing
on the financial panic. My suggestion
was widely discussed, and strong consti-
tutional points tortitying my position
were adduced. Grover Cleveland
trsmpled all over the constitution IN his
high-hsnded and despotic course on the
silver question. But Senator Hoar in
stead of being disturbed thereat was the
subservient alder and sbettor of the
president.
Theeffect of Grover Clevelsnd's wicked
and unconstitutional financial policy has
been to throw 100000 Of men out Of
employ ment, and to bring destitution
and despair to countless thousands OF
human beings. Because Of it, untold
numbers of homes have been broken up.
Thousands have died from deprivation
and exposure. Many thousands OF loyal,
industrious, worthy American citizens,
will stsrve to death within the next
three months. Others will freeze and
many others will fall victims to Vics and
become bitter, desperate criminals. Yet
ali of this does not in the least disturb
the serenity of Senator Hoar. He does
not discern a single crack or fracture in
the constitution, nor q single menace to
the republic along this line. But RhI
how sensitive his constitutional nerve
becomes the moment the prosperity Of
Hawaii is jeopsrdized.
It may be- that am sinfully lacking
in sisterly solicitude for the Hswaiisns
but really hsven't worried a single bit
over their unconstitutional predioRment
The climate of Hawaii is too mild to ad-
NIT of freezing, and for the same reason
lack of clothing is no great hardship
Then think Of their tropical fruits snd
the abundance Of all the necesssrieS OF
life, and, better than all else, they have
plenty of work. Really, isn't it little
strange that one OF our own United
States senators should be 30 much
troubled about the people Of Hawaii, and
troubled 80 little about the people Of his
own country. Why, right here in Wash
ington, We have poverty, wretchednesG
and crime enough to pierce heart ol
stone, aud enough to cause true patriot

two column article in the Post descrip-
tive Of the shocking condition Of the
helpless unemployed in this city:
Sew of the people Of Washington,
aside from the police force, know the ex
tent of the poverty-stricken area in the
city. There are, in fact, large eections
where it is not safe for q philanthropist
to 90. A Post reporter, however, under
the guidance Of the officers Of the various
precincts who were familiar with the
poverty-s stricken districts, lately made u
tour of the squslid sections Of the city.
The poor districts Of the city are larger
than one unfamiliar with the subject is
likely to suppose and the character Of the
poverty is worse than one can imagine
who has not been through the dog kennel
houses, where six families live in four
room house;where ones feet sink through
the holes in the rotten floors, and where
the smoke covered walls are so thick with
vermin that the Investigator hesitstes to
return to the bosom OF his family with
out first submitting to the kind offices Of
the Turkish bath attendant.
"One of the typical cases picked up at
random by the Post representative in his
investigation Of this region was that Of
two empty houses on G street, between
Third and Four.snd-s-half streets south
west. The houses were shut up on the
front and bore "For Rent" cards, but five
colored women had forced entrance to the
novels from the rear and were camping
out in the bare rooms. Some brush wood
had been obtRined-it would be difficult
to say how-snd served as bed for them
as we'll as for fuel. A tiny fire glowed in
the elbow of a couple of joints Of old
stove pipe struck out Of the rear window.
There was absolutely no furniture
and no bedding, except the dirty rags
that the women had wrapped around
them. A few bits OF broken bread and
meat that they had begged on the street
before going into quarters for the night
was their entire supply OF food"
It is true that in the typical csseb'
above reported, the five women were
cOIOred. But then Liliuokslsni is Colored
also, and uglisr than sin. So can't for
the life OF me see why Grover should
worry so over Queen Lii and want to put
her back on her throne, even if he has to
spend thousands OF the peoples money
on Mr.. Blount, ct al, and crack the con-
stitution besides, just to boost the old
lady, like Humpty Dumpty, back again.
I sm not absolutely certain that the
above mentioned "Hve old colorsd
women" can be classed among the
"worthy poor" but neither can Queen
Lii, if ell reports as to her morals be true,
be credited with an overproduction OF
worthiness.

Venice" Mr. Reed said that it was "all
a fiction; no such bank ever existed"
The Honorable Thomas should pair his
information on the money question with
Farmer Funston.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-12-27

An appropriation Of $4,000 has been
asked Of congress for the improvement Of
the streets Of this city, for the purpose
of giving employment to the worthy
poor" Up to date nsither Senator Hoar
nor Grover Cleveland have shown the
slightest interest in this proposed piece
Of legislation.
Merciful Hssvenl Are these men who
are managing our ship Of state idiotic or
crazy, that they fail to see that they are
steering swiftly onto the rocks Of an
archy and revolution? Why will they
not heed the warnings and the entrssties
Of the patriotic peoples representatives,
and enact legislation which will revive
the industries which the wicked legisls-
tion Of the past few years has destroyed.

PULLING APART.

A San Francisco journal, referring to
the unfortunate collapse of the Great
Salt Lake Railroad scheme, attributes it
largely to the apparent inability of Cali
fornians to pull together" There is
strength in that statement, but it is not
wholly true. There are communities in
the State that do pull together; they are
found to be more numerous in the south
end, but they are not few in the center,
snd there is very goodly number in the
extreme north.
Lack OF unity OF purpose and of
action among our people may be in
large degree accounted for by the cosmo-
politan character of our population, and
that the business elements have been
drawn from such great number of sec
tions of the Union, with differing meth
DDS, dissimilar tastes, and widely vary
ing estimates of man and of human trust.
There is far more of genuine co-opera-
ton and far less of distrust in rural parts
than in metropolitan centers. In the one
men have faith in each other because of
personal worth and character to a greater
extent than in the metropolis, where
commercial standing and financial abil-
ity are the greater tests for repose of
trustfulness.
Take the State as a whole, however,
and IL iG - ;. Il =.
common pride in the commonwealth as
National unit that sinks personal am
billions for the good and glory of the en-
tire community. California has lost
many an opportunity to take an import
ant place in National concerns because
the person, the faction or the locality has
been put before the State; because sec
ton, faction and personal jealousies have
ridden over State character and advance
ment. Very much of the selfish and
locally jealous spirit between our sec
tons lies at the bottom of the unhappy
condition that keeps the metropolis in
antagonistic attitude towards the in
terror. The former lacks in that element
of pride in the latter that should charac-
terize a true metropolis, and the interior
has been educated by the exclusiveness
of the city to believe that the chief con-
Germ Of the latter is to live upon the
necessities of the interior
There is fault upon both sides, but the
chief sin lies at the door of the metropolis;
the unwillingness of which to invest in
aid OF, or to encourage substantially the
outlying sections, or even to consider
their counselings, very largely, almost
wholly excuses the distrust in the in
terror of metropolitan declarations and
methods.

knowledge of such business that Mr..
Steinman possesses.
When he declares his belief that the
city ought to be Independent of private
companies in her lighting expenses he
sounds note of reform and progress
that every man knows is true one, and
that must swell into the full tone of
new policy. When he declares that he
cannot, even if SO minded, take any part
IN any lighting contract letting, he states
what everyone knows to be true, since
within his term no lighting contracts are
to be or can be let, or even considered.
His emphatic declaration for the new
charter, and his announced belief that it
ought to be faithfully, fully, unreservedly
executed. gives the lie to the mean and
vulgar insinuation that an assault is to
be made upon it in his interest. Who
ever gave birth to such a falsehood will
discover that the people despise, abhor
and will rebuke all such dirty attacks
upon candidates.
Mr.. Steinman refuses to pledge himself
to place seekers, to persons and to
schemes; score of people who have ap-
preached him to secure his promise for
this or that, in case he is elected, find
their ears still tingling with the rebuke
they secured. One of them himself tells
us: HE said to me-and he said it with a
vim-he'd rather be tied up to hitching
post in the street like jackass and beaten
with barrel stave before the people,
than to promise place or interfere with
other official rights. or to bargain over
the dead in the cemetery, or the police in
their uniforms, or the contractors on the
streets, or the dealers behind their bars,
meant it,"
Certainly he did, and when elected-as
he will be-he will go into Office clean
handed, Hmb-free, conscious-free and
work for good sanitary conditions, street
reforms, economy OF expenditure, clean
business methods, progressive, industri-
Gus, beneticent means to protect and ad-
vance the city, and yet lessen the burdens
of taxation; for policy that will stop
eaks, put backbone into municipal ad-
mlnistration, give character and indie
pendence to city departments, blot out
the shameful division and paralyzing in
harmony in the police department, and
for policy that will prepare the way to
the fullest for the frictionless introduc-
ton of the new charter system.
B. U. Steinman is not negative man;
he is affirmative, vigorous, has ideas, is
not afraid 10 assert them, flatly refuses tc
go into combines and contracts, wants
the office if he can get it unentangled and
free-handed; and when he gets it he will be
neither the friend nor the foe of any man,
business or industry because of the cleo
ton, but simply, solely, the straight-for-
word, square-dealing, economic, busi-
nesslike executive of the city. - -;

be worth something to the city, if it is
worth anything to the petitioner.
Whatever there may be remaining for
the future, of revenue to the city from
such sources should be secured to it, and
not, as in the past, given away freely.
The time has passed when the need ex-
listed to invite investment of this char
acter. We need not any more entertain
the fear that unless we bait invitation to
capital to ask for street franchises, we
will catch no fish. Whatever is asked for
from Sacramento of exclusive privilege
from this time forward should, we
repeat for emphasis, be paid for
fully, and the one and only way of
determining that amount is to let the
privileges to the highest and best bidder

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON.

General Harrison retires from the Presi-
dency of the United States with the re-
spect of all foreign powers, the admiration
of his fellow-citizens and the consciousness
of having discharged his duty with faith
fulness, ability and patriotic spirit. No
President has given to the nation a
cleaner. more unobjectionable, hopeful
and truly American administration,
General Harrison, so long as he lives,
will have the unstinted love of his coun-
trymen, and when he dies his memory
will be cherished as that of a patriotic,
statesmanlike, courageous champion OF
progressive free government and of hu-
man rights.

THE MAYoRALTY CONTEST.

The sentiment is general, and it is be-
coming more and more emphatic, that
business sense, economic considerations
and progressive demands all point to the
wisdom of electing B. q. Steinman
Mayor. His chief opponent cannot point
TO a record of investment in or encourage
ment of local beneficial activities, the for
warding of worthy and courageous
schemes and plans for city betterment
such as have characterized the whole
course of the Republican candidate for
years.
The howl that is attempted because
Mr.. Steinman is one of many owners in
the gas and electrical plant is having no
effect. Sensible men realize that Mayor
thus interested, pledged by oath, open
declaration and life of probity and up
rightness to conserve city interests above
all others, is really better man for the
city than one who does not have the

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Teha.,aa County for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality and is offered at
from $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 120, 160 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is 10 be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay Ave equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum.
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be-
had in California for less than from $50 to
300 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at SEQ
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object OF the purchase of this
body OF land WAS the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.
