The news, or lack Of news, from
Honolulu for the past week has been
of an exciting character. The latest
chapter IN the history of this infamous
matter is to the effect that on the 18th
of December Minister Willis demand
ed the surrender of the provisional
government and the reinstatement of
the ex-Queen. To this demand Pres
ident Dole replied, in lengthy and
dignified document, with positive
refusal.
The like, probably, was never
known before in the history of civili-
zed nations where minister accredi-
ted to recognized power had asked
that power TO surrender the govern
ment to another claimant. And 1t is
wonderful that the provisional gov
ernment did not hang the creature to
the nearest lamp post.
The Boston Journel we'll says
There is no question that Minister
Willis was acting in accordance with
instructions. Those instructions, in
volying an attempt to overthrow a
friendly Government, whose legality
we have twice recognized, were given
without the knowledge of Congress
or of the country. They emanated
from the colossal egotist who holds
the Presidential office, whose conduct
in bringing the nation to the very
verge of war is a violation of the
spirit, if not the letter, of the Con-
stitution. If single shot had been
fred during those exciting days at
Honolulu, the guilt of the resulting
bloodshed would have rested at the
door of the President.

Real Merit

Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsapa-
lila, and it is manifested every day IN the
remarkable cure this medicine accom-
plishes. Druggists say: When we sell
a bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla to new
customer we are sure-to see him back IN
few weeks after more,-provlng that
the good results from trial bottle war
rant continuing its use. This positive
merit Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses by
virtue of the peculiar combination, pro-
portion and process used in its prepara-
ton, and by which all the remedial value
of the ingredient used is retained. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself and aoso-
lutely unequaled in its power as oiooo
purifier, and as tonic for building up
the weary, and giving nerve strength.

In no single particular did the Nc
Kinley law of 1890 fail to secure the
benefcent results its authors designed
and every prophecy Of i'll in which its
enemies INDUCED utterly failed of full
fillment You said it would develop
no new industries-it created them by
the hundreds. You said it would bring
no resultant benefits to our workmen-
it secured for them enlarged employ
ment and increased wages. You said
it would enchance the cost of the pro-
tected article-it cheapened it to the
consumer. You said it would diminish
our foreign trade-it augmented it in
1892 to $1,S57, ,6S0,610. an increase
over the previous year Of S12S,2S3,-
604. You said it would shnt out our
products from foreign markets-our
export trade increased S145, 797, 1888,
swelling its volume to 81, ,030, 27S, 14S,
the largest ever known in the history
of the country, and exceeding the value
of our imports by $2O2, ,S73,6S6. You
said it would paralyze our domestic
trade-it was never more vigorous than
in the years Immediately following lis
enactment. And so every prophecy of
i'll found swift and complete refutation
in increased industrial activity on every
hand, and enhanced individual and ma
tional prosperity.
Yet, in the face of this magnificent
triumph, it is now proposed to call a
halt in the industrial march and turn
the column backward over the deserted
and disastrous pathway leading to free
trade. The command has already been
given, and CONSERVATION has taken pos
session of all our people. The record
of this single years disasters stands,
without parallel in the history Of our
country. Fifteen thousand five hun
dred and sixty business failures, 70
railways, aggregation 81, S7S miles and
representing untold millions of property,
gone into the hands of receivers and to
bankruptcy. Our mines and factories
are closed, smokeless chimneys stand
like monuments above the graves of
dead industries, while an army of un-
employed are tramping The streets beg
ging for bread. Yet the half has not
been told. The record of this years
industrial and individual suffering re-
sulting from this proposed legislation
will never be made up. The new bill
proposes the transfer 131 articles from
the dutiable to the free list, nearly one
half of which are the fruits of domes-
tic husbandry. As whole the propo-
sition is to open our markets to the free
importation of nearly, s46,000,000 OF
foreign products, accompanied with the
voluntary surrender ofnearly $4,000,
600 of annual revenue.

Rapid Transit Far underground.


A rapid transit system has just been
inaugurated in Brussels which shows
the Belgian engineers to be ahead of any
in either America or Great Britain in
the matter of boldness of design. An
underground rapid transit street railway
has been commenced and will be CON-
pleted in two years which throws into
the shade all previous undertakings in
that line anywhere. The road is to be
an electric one, thus doing away with
the smoke, cinders and coal gas that are
SO serious an annoyance on the London
underground road.
Another feature is that the under
ground part of it is to be thoroughly be
meath the surface. Tunnels are to be con-
structed under the streets so far down
that no sewers or gas pipes can possibly
be interfered with. So far as any inter
ruption to street traffic, any roar or rum
bling sound above the trains, go, it will be
the same as if no road were there. Shafts
and air pumps will be employed at inter-
walls, as in mines, for ventilation, and the
whole tunnel will be brilliantly lighted
by electricity.
Two tunnels will be constructed, either
side by side or one above the other, two
story fashion, The great depth will
easily justify the latter mode of build
ing. Elevators will shoot passengers
quickly down into the stations and as
quickly bring them up ipto daylight
again at the end Of the journey. The
only wonder is that, since it is as easy
almost to dig down 20 feet as 90, nobody
ever thought of the deep underground
railway for rapid transit in cities before.
Trains will pass at intervals of two or
three minutes and travel 25 miles an
hour.
