To the Point.

United States bonds, neighbor, are
pieces of paper issued by the govern
ment and backed up by the wealth of
the nation.
Greenbacks are pieces of paper is
sued by the government and backed
up by the wealth Of the nation.
What, then, is the difference be-
tween bonds and greenbacks? you
ask.
This difference:
The bonds Draw interest and are in
demand by the shylocks
The greenbacks do not draw interest
but are in great demand by the peo-
pie.
This being a fact it does indeed
seem queer that Carlisle issues bonds
for Wall street and Lombard street

Another Democrat LOOSE
FAMILIES OCCUPYING FARMS.

/ Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania,
it would seem, is too much of a true
democrat to remain very much longer
in the craft now sailing under false
colors. Listen;
"The time has come when the clear
ing houses Of the great cities should
dominate and control the policy of the
67, 900, 900 workers Of this land. 80 r
Who demanded that congress should
be called in extra session? No body
Of agriculturists demanded it; no body
of laborers asked for it. The demand
came from the absorbers Of the
country's wealth. 1t came not from
the $1,000. 900 American citizens, but
from the $4,000 who had acquired one
half of tie national wealth and
wanted 10 get, as soon as they could,
the balance of it Gentlemen in
favor OF the single gold standard said
that England was against bimetallism,
that France was against it, that Ger
many was against it. But no such OBJ
position could put out the spark of
liberty and independence on this con-
tinent. The decentralization act of
1873 was traitorous act, and along
with the names of Judas Iscariot and
Benedict Arnold will be placed the
names of those who were guilty of
the crime of 1879. 1t was said that
the republicans were going to join
with the democrats in repeating the
Sherman law. What republicans and
what democrats? The republicans of
the east and the democrats of the
east; but the salvation of the country
depends upon the Peep who are
living west of the Alleghanies and

Mere Theory.
In these days of trusts and consoli-
dalton, strikes and cut-downs between
labor and railroads, it may be interest.
ing to note what has beeen and can be
done to remedy these evils. We never
hear of any strikes, cut-downs or labor
troubles on the railroads of Australia,
and why? Because the government
owns and operates them in the inter-
est Of the people.
In Australia YOU can ride distance
of 1000 miles across the country for
S. so, first-class, too, while working.
men can ride six miles for ? cents,
twelve miles for 4 cents, thirty miles
for 10 cents, ETC., and railroad men re-
ceive 95 to 30 per cent more wages: for
eight hours of labor than they are
paid in this country for ten hours OF
toll. j.. ".
In Victoria, where the above rates
prevail, the net income from the roads
last year was sufficient to pay all the
federal taxes. 80
In Hungary, where the roads are
state owned, you can ride six miles
for l cent, and since the government
bought the roads, wages have doubled.
Belgium tells the same story-fares
and freight rates cut down one-half
and wages doubled.
Yet the roads pay yearly revenue
to the government of S4,OOO,OOO.
In Germany you can ride four miles
for 1 cent on the government owned
lines. Yet wages are over 100 per
cent higher than they were when the
private corporations owned them, and
during the last ten years the net
profits bave increased Al per cent.
Last year the roads paid the German
government net profit of So, 900, 900.

such rates as these vote the Peoples

If our government owned the rail
roads we could 60 to San Francisco
from Boston for $40. Look at the
proof
Uncle Sam pays the railroads mo-
quite S275 to transport loaded posta
car from Boston to San Francisco. A
passenger car will carry fifty passen

$500, or a clear profit Of SIPS car
and this, too, after paying SIS per
cent on watered stock, which is fully
100 per cent on the cost Of the roads
To show how our railroads hav,
watered their stock I point to the New
York Central & Hudson River rail
road, which, when the Vanderbilts OBJ
tanned control in 1869, vas capitalized
at $40, 900, OOO They at once watereC

Cooks Hotel had narrow escape

1 Cooks Hotel had a narrow escape 1 from fire Saturday morning.

The alarm was given, and the fire extinguished by the gallant young men of the city.
 Dr. Stone, Chas H. Sanders. Henry Jennings and his father went to Mud
 lake on a ducking excursion, the first Of the week. Their success in bagging 1 the gay plumaged Mallard WAS phe- nomenal. and all went well until they reached Howard slough on their re- turn. In making the steep descent of the bank of the slough the tongue l to their vehicle broke, and a wild rush down the hill to the opposite bank was the consequence. In making the down grade rush Mir. Sanders attempted 10 ''dowh brakes" by catching a front wheel, which act promptly delivered him on his head in sand bank, the front wheel of the carriage running over his leg. He sustained a shake-up and 1 bruises which will cause. him several days layoff The abrupt halt of the vehicle at the opposite bank threw Dr. Stone into space. and he received par tial dislocation of the wrist. severe twist of the neck and general inter nal Jostling which laid him off for a day. The other two occupants being on the back seat. escaped injury.

gentleman. who was before the Senate
committee on foreign relations for two
DAYS. was at the capitol this morning.
When the confirmation of yesterdays
Associated Press cable concerning the
situation at Hawaii was received, he
was greatly interested in the news
and said it was not different from
what he had expected. Il don't see
what more Willis can do. The pres
ident has instructed him not to use
force. and he certainly will not disre-
gard these instructions. There is dan
ger of a clash. however, and that is
the critical point at present The
queens adherents will be emboldened
bv this action on the part of Willis,
and are likely to do something at any
moment to cause bIoodShed, and there
is no telling what the result would be
if one person should be killed. The
provisional government is firmly en-
its armed force. and strengthened by
the conviction of it's just cause. They
will stand out against any encrOach-
ment upon their authority whether
from the United States or others. Fur
thermore. they feel they have the sup
port of the great mass of people Of this
country. ThurSton is there and has,
of course. been able to furnish Presi-
dent Dole and his supporters with the
correct idea of the feeling of the peo-
ple of America. This will be very re-
assuring to them. and will go long
wav towards encouraging the present
government to stand firm
The report from San Francisco that
the Mohican is preparing for an i'm
mediate trip to Honolulu, is denied at
the navy department. The Mohican and
Ranger were ordered to get ready for
sea about the same time. The Ranger
was DESPATCHED to Central America
several weeks ago. The Mohican has
been ready to put to sea on short
notice. but 1t is said she will not at

1t is considered altogether .improb-
able the Corwin left Honolulu without
the reply of Dole to the demand of Will

surrender its authority back to Liliuo-
kalani.

Corwin left there Dec. "a. Dole, there
fore, had the benefit of Thurston's
counsel in framing reply. A gentle
man of this city, whose relations with
both gentlemen are intimate, expresses
the conviction that Dole's reply fol-
lows closely the lines in Thurstons
letter on Dec. 5, delivered to Gresham
the day Thurston left Washington.
In that letter, Thurston contended
the United States has acquired no juris-
|diction over the independent sovereign
state of Hawaii. It is believed the
points made by Thurston, who is now
advising Dole, embodies the main
points Dole will cover in reply to Will
