THERE has been considerable talk
in reference to what the Democratic
platform in 1892 said in reference to
coinage.
The State Convention of 1892,
which met at Jefferson City in July,
ratified the nomination of Cleveland
and Stevenson, endorsed the Chicago
platform, and thereafter made no
reference to national affairs.
That part of the national platform,
so indorsed, referring to coinage,
read thus:
eve denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman
act of 1890. as a cowardly make
shift, fraught with possibilities OF
danger in the future, which should
make all of its supporters, as well
as its author. anxious for its speedy
repeal. We hold to the use OF both
gold and silver as the standard
money Of the country, and to the
coinage of both gold and silver with
out discriminating against either
metal or charge for mintage; but
the dollar unit of coinage Of both
metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be ad-
iusted through international agree
ment, or by such safeguards OF leg
islation as shall insure the main
tenance of the parity of the two
metals and the equal power Of every
dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment of debts; and
we demand that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and re-
deemable in such coin. We insist
upon this policy as especially nec'
essary for the protection OF the
farmers and laboring classes, the
first and most defenseless victims
OF unstable money and a fiuctuating
currency"

paper abuses the administration for
trying to make the tariff the para
mout issue and the other paper
makes a great roar because the ad-
ministration is not making the tariff
the important issue. As a matter of
fact the administration has done
everything in its power to push a
vote on the tariff and except for OPP

have succeeded and the bill would
have passed long ago. Some news.

CATARRH Of PELVIC ORGANS.
A Class OF Diseases Not Generally
Understood.

1t is a popular impression that ca
tarrh is a disease confined to the
mucous membranes lining the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes and other
respiratory organs. The real fact
is, that all mucous membranes,
wherever located, are subject to
catarrh, and unless recognized and
properly treated chronic ailments
are sure to follow. No organ Of the
whole body is more frequently af-
fected than the bladder. The
symptoms of catarrh of the bladder
are: frequent voiding, which is gen.
orally scant in quantity and highly
colored, with a thick, white or slight
ly pinkish sediment. Catarrh OF
the bladder is also liable to extend
downwards to the pelvic organs.
This will cause smarting and some
times difficulty and pam. In fe-
males the extension of the catarrhal
disease is certain to involve the fe-
male pelvic organs, and produces
leucorrhua, painful periods, and
bearing-down pains.
In taking Peru ma for catarrhal
affections of these organs a table
spoonful four times each day is
sufficient for cases of ordinary Sc.

this matter should be referred to the
Legislature. The President was not
here, and he thought the matter
should go over until next week. The
question of the merits of the cases was
not under consideration; it was only
whether it was proper for the Councils
to take up. Some thought that the
two matters were different, as the
other islands were not especially in
terested in an electric road here.
Minister Hatch said that the salient
points Of the charter asked for were
as follows: The road is to be called
the Honolulu Electric Railroad Com
pany, and the company would bind
itself to build and equip a first-class
electric road, at an estimated cost of
100000. The road is to extend to
the Pail, and over other streets not
occupied by the present Tramways
Company, and will have a total
length of about fifteen miles. A ma
jority of the directors are to be resi-
dents of the islands.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought it would be
desirable to further all such things,
provided that it was intended to go to
work at once. But if it was intended
to make the matter speculation he
was against it.
Minister Damon, though he would
cordially help such franchise
through, yet he thought it was their
duty to leave these things to the Leg
islature. No new business should be
done until the Legislature meets. If
we are to relieve it of all its duties,
that was another matter. He wanted
to see this Government a success, and
it never would be a success until the
people had o hand in it.
Mr.. Waterhouse thought there was
no one who wished to see an electric
road here more than he, but he felt as
the Minister of Finance did, that the
matter be left to the Legislature.
Mr.. Brown thought the matter
should be laid over, unless we could
be sure that work would be COM
menced in three months, and finished
in a certain time.
Minister Hatch said he understood
that such assurances could be given.
Mr.. Brown said if that was the case,
he thought the matter could be taken
up and considered by the Councils.
MI. Ena thought with Minister
Damon.
Minister Smith said that it was
claimed by the parties who asked the
that work would commence
at once, and that about $4,000 would
be expended in this community. 1t
was a municipal affair and did not
affect the other islands.
Minister Damon said he understood
that the charter demanded that the
should guarantee inter
est on the bonds. If this was the case
it should be thoroughly sifted by the
Legislature.
Minister Smith said that Minister
Damon was in error, as the proposal
lid not call for any guarantee or other
from the Council or Legis-
Azure.
An adjournment was then taken.

GOOD FOR GROVER.
A Dispatch Says That he Has
Recognized the New Republic.

Every one about town last night,
with the exception of few discon-
ISOLATE royalists, was in a happy
frame of mind when the Mariposa
brought the news that the Hawai-
ian Republic had been recognized
by President Cleveland. The news
spread rapidly, and it was the sole
topic of conversation on the streets.
The dispatch appears elsewhere in
this issue.
When the people learned of the
action of the United States, some
enthusiast started a story to the
effect that England had sent its
official recognition also. The Off
GERS on board of the Champion
knew nothing of the story, and in
fact nobody could be found who
did. The rumor had it that dis
patch reached Auckland Just prior
to the Mariposa's sailing. Purser
Smith stated last night that as far
as he knew there was no truth in
the rumor.

the articles found in his valise were
placed there by enemies, and as
for the box he had never seen it
outside of the Courtroom. Under
cross-examination he admitted that
he had worked but two months
