COST OF STREET CLEANING.
How Gay Paris, the CIeanest City, Is
Kept in Fine Condition.
NEWCASTLE (Eng) CHRONICLE.

~'NWNoStiC NI<hSD NiiiOliClc.
An ingenious Frenchnan has Just pub
bshed a number of valuable facts about the
street work of Paris, the cleanest city in
the world. Every morning $500 male and
gades, turn out to perform the toilet of the
capital The men work from 1 a. m. to p.
m. less two hours off for meals. or ten
hours day, earning, most of them, IS Cd
10 IS. The women are engaged in the
morning only, and, being paid Sd an hour
make Is Cd day at the outside. Night
work in Paris is, ii seems, unknOwn-at any
rate, to the regular scavengers Should a
shower occur In the evening, reserves are
sent out 10 clear away the slush and make
the streets clean again.
In our large English cities, on the other
hand. states Cassell's Saturday Journal,
much sweeping is done about midnight AS
with us the Paris administrative has direct
control of its scavengng arrangements
which cost f24OOO0 year. In Vienna, where
the same work is admirably done, il is
otherwise. Each town contracts for a num-
Der of years with the Transport-Gesell-
schaft, the chief carrying company. for the
cleaning OF its streets i'm all weatherS. The
company finds both men and materials in
abundance. as is shown by some statistics
relating to a snowstorm of a short time
back. In one day there were in use twenty
snow plows, twenty sweeping machines,
200 two-horsed wagons and 5000 hands. Ber-
lin, however, is made preSentable much
more cheaply than Paris, the cost of sweep
inS the streets there being only ESQ, 900
year. This sum- again, affords a curious
contrast with that spent in the way
by Manchester. Eight years ago the cleans
ing of Cottonopolis cost $4,000 per annum;
II now costs double that amount-f1SO. 600
though. of course the city has not in
creased proportionately. But it must not
be forgotten that in our large towns the
expenditure on street cleansing has of late
years been abnormally heavy, owing to the
severe winters we have experiepced and the
consequent difficulty in clearing away snow
What is the cost of London's toilet? No
statistician has yet attempted to estimate
ii. and, indeed. the whole subject has been
neglected. This is a pity. since there are
some wonderful figures about cleaning the
streets OF the metropolis. The most start
ling. perhaps, are those relating TO London
bridge. 1t is computed that about 100000
pedestrians and 10000 vehicles cross that
structure every day. Each leaves behind a
little shoe leather or little iron-just a
trife. But when litter and dust are added
TO these minute losses the whole fills be-
tween three and four carts. The most sur
prising fact of all, however, is that the in
ceSsant traffic across the bridge reduces to
powder about twenty-five cubic yards of
granite every year Where is there an
other bridge the annual loss of which is
anything like half much?

THE SILVER ENIGMA.
Interview with Thomas Carter That
Gives Good Suggestions.
Kansas City Journal.


Thomas Fl. Carter, of Montana, chairman
of the Republican national committee, in
an interview, says what is true: THAT
States. without reference to localities, are
opposed to gold monometallism, and favor
the use of both gold and silver as the
basis of our monetary system"
That is true. And then he goes on TO say:
THE Republican party favors the two
metals and is the only political organiza-
ton capable of dealing with that important
question in this country" And again we
agree with him.
Philadelphia business men in favor of COIN
ing the product of American mines, and
shutting out foreign silver by prohibitory
Seigniorage, and dividing the profit on the
coinage of the American product between
the government and producers This ne re-
CARDS with favor, stating that il would
not increase our circulation over per cent.
annually.
This latter proposition is not a Western
but an Eastern suggestion. and being from
the manufacturers and business men OF
Philadelphia, comes with a prestige that
would carry the Eastern States. The coun-
try would gladly exchange the present OBJ.

silver mines as a legal tender money. They
could with that afford TO wait until an in
ternational congress fixes an international
ratio This is in accord with the American
doctrine of protection to American produc-
ton and labor II would make the noun

body else out of the hands of the receivers
And more il would take the United States
itself out of the hands of the money lenders

A RIDICULOUS FARCE.
Mr.. JOhnsOn's View of Cleyeianfs
Effort to Restore LiIiuOkaIani.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-Representative
Johnson, of Indiana, is a strong 2dherent
of the attitude of President Harrisons adj
ministration toward Hawaii. He believes
that the United States should extend pro-
tecting arm over that country, and that the
status quo existing on the Sandwich Islands
should not be disturbed by our country,
unless possibly to more closely ally the ISL
ands to us. He condemns in the strongest
language the Cleveland-Gresham policy of
a restoration of the monarchy and the re-
enforcement of the Queen. Commenting
on the situation and the attitude of this
administration in its un-American policy.
Mr.. Johnson said 10 the Journal correspond
ent to-day:
stances attending the overthrow of the
queens government, and the question of
annexation aside. the policy and conduct
OF the executive in the matter has, in my
opinion, been utterly indefensible. The
secrecy with which he has proceeded has
not been called for by any public necessity.
The American people have been treated as
II they were unworthy to be trusted, and
Congress has been contemptuously ignored
The appointment of Blount and the intrust-
Ing him with the extraordinary powers with
which he was sought to be invested, with
out the consent or the Senate, was an in
traction OF the spirit and letter of the Con-
sutuuon. 1t ought to have been promptly
resented by the national legislature. not
only on account of the individual wrong,
but in order to prevent 1T from becoming
a precedent, and in order to preserve the
constitutional lines of demarkation be-
tween the executive and legislative depart
ments.
The present government of Hawaii is a
de facto government has preserved its ex-
1stence for year, and has been recognized
by the leading nations. The scheming eff
fort of the President to destroy il now
is certainly most remarkable and unjusti-
nable proceedings just cause of war given
10 Hawaii. The executive seems to loose
sight of the fact that he is now endeavoring
TO accomplish. through Minister Willis the
very thing which he complains was done
by Minister Stevens. The refusal, in the
first instance, of the Queen to accept the
conditions OF her proposed restoration, and
the recent declination of the provisional
government to yield after the Queen had
changed her mind, leaves the whole presi-
Dental scheme like the coffin of Mo-

policy of the administration has been a
miserable failure, and is simply ridiculous

Switzerland, party of conspirators offered
to sell him a bear The prince, looking upon
the matter as a joke. purchased ii and had
IL attached to a pole in the hotel yard.
After few days il occurred to him that

and made the lives of the guests miserable.
Protests We're made. but in vain. The pro-
Drietor declined 10 interfere with the
princes hobby knowing that he was the
most remunerative guest under his roof.
One after another the dodgers left the hotel,
until the prince and his bear remained
alone. The proprietor then demanded that
he make good his loss. Willingly the prince
paid 5000 francs day to indemnify the host
and continued TO make his daily contrbu-
ton until his cruel passion was satisfied
and the poor bear almost dead.
AT another time the barbarian took pleas
ure in throwing knives at a pet goat and
declined to stop until the poor animal sue
cumbed to his cruelty.
The prince confined for time in
Austrian asylum for the insane by the MEM
bers of his family, who hoped to save some
of his patrmony, which he was wasting as
RAPIDLY as possible. He was liberated from
the asylum by his wife, however, through
the aid of some of the attendants, and hur-
ried in the nighttime across the Austrian
border and taken TO Switzerland. Since
then he has discreetly kept out OF his native
country. But he has rewarded the devotion
of the princess with uEheard-of cruelty and
the vain attempt to get a divorce.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE?
Either Willis or Captain Munger
Broke Faith with Dole.
Dispatches of the Provisional Govern
ment, Forwarded by the Steamer
Corwin, Still Missing.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1i.-From the
statement Of the Examiners Honolulu cor
respondent there is a prospect that United
States officials either at Honolulu or In
America may have to answer to the charge
of breaking faith with President Dole. 1t is
said that Minister Willis grew impatient at
Dole's delay in formulating his reply to Will
lis's demand of abdication, and urged great
er haste, whereupon Dole called on Willis
and frankly admitted he did not propose TO
submit his reply until the arrival of a YES
sci on which it could be dispatched stimuli
taneously with the departure of the Corwin.
Whereupon Willis agreed that the Corwin
should carry the dispatches of the provision
al government. Dole then hurried forward
his reply and sent 1t to Willis, who dis
patched the Corwin early next morning. 1t
transpires no dispatches were delivered by
the Corwin to the Hawaiian representatives
in America.
