SAS FRANCISCO, Jan. ao.-The steamer

day afternoon. She brings full Hawai-
ian adyices to the Associated Press
nearly week later than previous ad-
vices.
Honolulu, Jan. 1o.-S:rce the sail
ing of the last steamer political affairs
have tean very dull in Honolulu The
government has been pursuing wait
ing policy en- the ground that no def
mite action can be taken here until
some definite policy regarding Hawaii
has been announced by the United
States
a new constitution is al ready to be
promulgated at the proper time. For
some tire past and prior 70 MIR Thurs
tons visit the government has been
working out q form Of constitution
for al independent Hawaiian re-
public which is now substantially
settled upon It's form is Like tie con
stitutions Of the states OF the union,
with president and vicc-pres:dent and
upper and lower houses OF Legislature.
For voters for members ef the lower

ton in Hawaii has eve: been submitted
to a vote Of the people, but simply pro-

lowed in the next similar case.

.pRorEorloN. IN GOTHAM.

The system of POLICE protection OF
criminals in New York city forcibly re-
minds the Chicago Herald of the Re-
publican brand of protection furnished
by Congress to pet industries. In either
case it amounts to a license to fleece the
public, and 10 either case it costs the
protectees more or less money. The
Herald draws this interesting parallel;
Under the Congressional system Of pro-
lection the Government actively cooper
ates with the protectees in heecng tue
public Under the New York system the
police and other agencies Of justice simply
keep hands off, for a consideration, ana
permit the protectces to pursue their res
pective industries unmOlested.
Little by little the facts have been
brought TO light by the LeXOw Committee
which enable one TO form an estimate oil
the cost of New York protection TO the
protectees which looked at on the other
side is the profit Of the protectors. There
are 1000 saloons in the city. The cost OIL
protection 70 these industrial establish
meutS varies according to location and the
amount Of business done. The average IS
said 10 be $40 a week, or $500 year. For
the establishments g, $4,000.
There are 5000 disorderly houses which
nav 800 a year each as initiation fee"
That makes S3,GJGC0). And in addition
10 this there is a monthly payment which
gives a total Of -, 800, 900. There IS a
pleasing fiction that the gambling indus
t~v is not carried on at present, and so no
account is taken Of the cost OF protecting
il. But merchants and peddlers have 20
pay for privileges, and policemen have To
pay for appointments on the force, SO that
the total cost OF protection IS rouudly
placed az 81 600 600 a year.
1t has not yet been developed how
much the Sugar Trust shells out in
contributions to the various State cam
paign funds Of the vrious parties az
cording to which is on top, nor what
the cost is Of maintaining a big lobby
in Washington. Neither have any OF
the other numerous tariff beneGciaries
said what it cost them.

ANOTHER BI-nETALLIo CONFER
ENCE

Having failed up to date to accom-
nlish ANYTHING for their cause at the
various conferences" the international
bi-metallists, nothing daunted, but,
ra,ber stimulated, are exercising their
minds as to how another international
conference shall be brought about and
where to hold it.
Prominent citizens of Washington
have organized and are hot foot after 1t
and have asked Lord Mayor TYLER, of
London, to nominate some prominent
international bi-metallists in England
10 confer with leading citizens here as
10 the bes, means TO DO adopted for
bringing about an internationa! oi-met-
allie conference at the American cap
ital.
We agree with the Post of that city
that this movement of the citizens
should be taken advantage Of by the
members Of the executive, the Senate
and Congress, for cosmopolitan Wash
inQtop. with its residential ambassadors
and ministers, representing all nation
alities. is probably the only Capital Of
the first class nations where an inter
national bimetallic conference could be
summoned at short notice. Having re-
gard IN the monetary situation of most
countries, q congress could assemble at
Washington some time during Septem-
Der, and the very fact Of such a confer
ence being announced would restore
confidence and check further downward
tendencies In values.
The question for the next conference
to consider, whether at Washington or
elsewhere, will be, at what ratio silver
shall rank with gold, and to settle this
momentous question the people at
Washington have done quite right. Let
there be summoned without delay a
congress of leading nations; let them fix
and determine with the majority of the
debtor nations at what ratio silver shall
rank with gold, and the silver problem
with tariff reciprocity treaties will solve
itself forever.

COZ. CONCERTS BOLT.

The political sensation Of the day is
the bolt Of Col. A. L. CoNGER the well
known and old Republican buckeye
wheelhorse, from the Mckinley boom.
The lengthy interview with Col.
CoNGER published elsewhere gives the
ex-Congressman's position and views
clearly and with an exhilarating snap.
Hs is a prstectiOnist, has always been
a high protectiORist but be draws the
line at McKinleyism. He protested
quietly against the Mckinley iniquity
when it was being framed, and ack-
nowledges that it was the cause Of the
Republican party's overthrow. He has
supported MCKINLEY heretofore, but
now that Mckinney is trying to force
this same iniquity, which no one but
himself now defends, upon the party as
the issue for 1896, Col. CoNeER politely
at emphatically declines to be party
