populists, did you ever notice our Gov.
Pennoyer? And did you mind the
Oregon elections this year? Two years
ago the Pops" got the best of us in
this county by a decided majority, and
claimed increased majorities for this
year. But we have showed 'em UNDER
so deep that believe there is no hope for
them again. Our fruit was hurt by late
outlook for other crops. Businesses fair,
but not sharp, will no doubt be better
after the fall elections Our hills are full
of gold, much is brought in, and we are
getting some of it and are happy.

ROTTENNESs IN DENMARK.

The crusade which Rev. Dr.. Park
hurst inaugurated some two years
ago against vice in New York city
is beginning to bear fruit in start
ling way A legislative committee
which has been looking into the doc
tors charges, to the effect that the
Tammany officials were in league
with the evil of the saloons, the
brothels and the gambling houses,
has disclosed already a degree Of
rottenness almost passing belief
a rottenness all the more repulsive
and alarming from the fact that the
governing power of the city has
been for years closely connected with
and absolutely responsible for it.
DR.. Parkhurst's charges have been
sustained-to the city's shame be it
said. Here is a sample of what has
been going on there under the Tam
many regime:
"In one case gambling house has for
years paid $3.50 a week for protection,
and within the last two months the
proprietor closed his doors and moved
his business to another city, because his
assessment was raised to $500 a week.
In another instance woman who had
kept disorderly house determined to
turn over new leaf. She dismissed her
boarders, moved to another part of the
town and tried to run a private respecta-
BILE hotel for gentlemen only. She had,
in the days Of her disrepute, paid the
police thousands of dollars, but they
were not satisfied to let a customer so
profitable escape. She was followed to
her new quarters, threatened with ex-
posure of her past record unless she paid
for silence, and was even offered the in
ducement of reduced assessments if she
would return to life of infamy."
Thus it will be seen that the police
department of the city, organized for
protection against vice and the main
tenance of law and order, has operat-
ed along entirely different lines and al
lied itself with the most dangerous
elements of the population, securing
large incomes from managers of the
vile dens whose existence it per-
mitted.
This has been the condition of
things under the administration of
Tammany-a political force whose
influence has not been confined alone
to the metropolis, but whose ne
farious methods have menaced the
whole nation because of its hold on
our grea test city.
The results Of the legislative com
dignation of the better classes to
degree which promises we'll for the !
future government of the city. Never |
had New Workers a better chance |
than this investigation has given |
them to clean out this nest of poll |
ticians who have ruled for personal !
revenue only and plundered the me-
tropolis' treasury with a remarka- |
bly, free hand. It is confidently be- |
lieved by many that Boss Croker's |
sudden resignation Of the Tammany |
leadership and his more sudden
fight to Europe were FASTENED by |
the efficient work which the investi- |
eating committee was doing. New !
York's redemption from the clutches
of Tammany would mean much to |
the politics of the whole country, |
and on this account every good citi-
zen will be interested in the battle |
now going on in the metropolis |

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities of its population.
The reasons are found partially in the eli
mate conditions which were the
adoption of a light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause OF its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost of tracing
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competition except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered TO consumers on a basis of rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost of
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit OF that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent services together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fat rates as follows:
Stores and offices per 10 {. P. light yer
month $l.00
Residences per 16 c p. light per
mOuth-tO = lights gOcfS
Residences per is c. p. light per
mOnth-excess OF D lights 6Octs.
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner OF your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
lou use lights when and where you
need it and you don't forget to shut it off
when that need is satisfied, nor do you
ieel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order TO secure the
value OF a stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what we have delivered TO
yo1 and can figure with certainty upon
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF a l6 G. y. light per hour is
= 10 ll2 cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.

BETTER THAN EVER.
Splendid Premium Earned for the
Cramps by the Minneapolis.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE
Minneapolis has done even better
than the first reports indicated on
her trial trip. Yesterday Commo-
dore Selfridge telegraphed the
Navy Department that the vessel
made 23O5 knots, subject to tidal
corrections. These corrections
were made last night, and today
the Commodore reported that, after
making allowance for the tides
and currents, the average speed
was 23.O7 knots. By the contract
she was required to make u knots
and the contractors were to receive
a bonus for excess of speed on the
basis of $4,000 for each quarter
knot, so that according to Commo-
dore Selfridge's figures the pre-
MUM earned will amount to $414,-
600, the largest ever earned by
vessel.
When proposals were received
for building the Minneapolis it was
found that the Bath Iron Works
was the lowest bidder at $780,
600, Cramps coming next with a
bid of 2,745,O0O. The Secretary of
the Navy thought the Bath Iron
Works had hardly a sufficient
plant to undertake the construc-
ton of so large a ship, and he of
fered to bestow the contract on the
Cramps if they would reduce their
bid to the figure Of the Bath Iron
Works, which they did, so that
with the premium earned on the
trial the total cost of the vessel is
$3,204,600
