A treasury clerk who was discharged
early in the life of the present adj
ministration, after many years OF
service, walked up the steps of the big
stone building one night some time
aQo and shot himself through TIE
heart with pistol. His body lying on
the steps that he had climbed SO often
was an object lesson to all Of the gov
eminent employees in Washington It
is a sad feature of department life At

former congressman, public officials,
and employees Of all sorts, who, having
come here, refuse to go away again.
Some of them are prosperous, but Dy
far the greater number depend upon
their friends and charity for living

have been removed after long service
in the departments continue to Eaun'

A Commentary.

EDITOR BuLLETN:--
The changes which have been
wrought in this once happisst and
most contented Of communities in
tho past two years must make angels
weep. In 1892 We had recovered
from the first shock OF the tariff
legislation Of the United States, led
by Mr.. Mckinley, and were in re-
ceipt OF fair returns for our sugar
and rice crops.
Our community was . united one
and social intercourse brought happi-
ness to all. Our religious societies
were working harmoniously and as .
consequence peace reigned through
out the islands. In 1894, how
changed! We have raised issues in
the United States that can only
work injuriously to our material in
terests. Our crops do not promise
to be remunerative. Our community
is a factional one. Social intercourse
is strained to the breaking point.
Our religious societies are divided
against themselves, and new societies
have entered upon the field with the
certain result OF bringing the con.
fusion OF Babel upon US.
So far as the peace that once
reigned is concerned, the best com.
mentary upon II are the following
headlines to an article in the Adver-
tiser: "CRoss FIRE FROM GArrLlNGs
THESE PIECES HAVE BEEN PLACED ON
PWoTs AT THE EXECUTIVE BUILDING
COMMAND ALL SIDEs-RAPIp FIRING AND
DEADLY-STEEL SHIELDS TO BE Used"
What has brought about this
lamsntable condition OF aifairsi The
demon OF lust for pelf and the power
il brings. The desire to secure the
for sugar, paid by the United States
on the 18th January, 1898. Only
this and nothing more.
