''Third-By the adoption of gold stan

The treasury statement issued Fester'
day shows that the expenditures for thls
month already exceed the receipts by Sl3,-
$50 1889. There is not, however, any
thing in this situation to give Secretary
Carlisle any uneasiness. 1t was antlcl-
mated, before the new fiscal year began,
that there would be an extraordinary
drain upon the revenues during uH.s
month but anoeXaminatiOn of the hgures
shows that the actual running expenses
of the government are being kept we'll
within bounds. Of the $29,000,00O which
has already been paid out this month no
less than S11,O00,000 has gone to the
various pension agencies throughout the
country, while nearly 100000 has been
devoted to the payment of interest upon
the 4 per cent and Pacific railroad bonds

uted each month to certain agencies, DuI

This. also. was expected.
As against this outlay, it is interesting
to note that the revenues are much larger
at this time for the month than they were
at the same period for the month of June.
This indicates that there is no falling OIL
in the revenues. and the natural suppo'
sition is they will continue to increase as
the fall season approaches, so that by
the end of the calendar year the treasury
ought to be able to make a good showing
for itself. In short, the officials say that
there is nothing in the condition of the
treasury to warrant the effort made by
newspapers opposed to the administration
to create dstrust and renew the timidity
of capital.

ATTORNEY OGDEN ON TEXAS


Mr.. Charles w. Ogden, the well known
Republican lawyer of San Antonio, IS
now i'm Washington and is quoted as f0!-
| lows in regard to the mixed state OF poll
| tics now prevailing in Texas:
"There is going to be weird and wild
music in the Democratic camp in our
State next year" he said. Texas is a
great big country, bur it isn't half big
enough for the partiSanS of free silver and
the sound money men to inhabit together
in amity The fight is going to be to the
death. and one faction or the other will
have to go under. l think in the end the
sound money crowd will win. On that
side are enlisted the leading Democrats,
representing the best intelligence of the
party: on the other are the farming
class and the wool hat element generally,
under the leadership of a few men who
can always be counted on 20 pay the
demagogue.
The sound money men are not going to
concede anything, and the other party be-
ing equally obstinate the row is likely to
develop into a split that will rend the
party asundpr. The Republicans are not
having much to say, but they view the
coming storm with placid content, for the
funeral is none of theirs
The sound money Texans have got a
special feud with Governor CulbersOn,
and they are going to make things so
warm that it will be very hard for him to
get nominated for second term, a COM
plment always accorded a governor in
Texas. He was nominated on u sound
money platform, the free silver plank
being voted down in the State convention.
Seeing aHter'ward that the POpulist candi-
date was making good Roadway in his
advocacy of free silver, CulbersOn an
nOunced that he too. favored that pr0po
sition. and ever since has been a silver
advocate. He has lately come out in q
letter reaffrming his faith. but coupled
with a new doctrine of protection 10 raw
materials. which is very odd position
for Texas Democrat.
"SOOner or later the people of Texas
are going on the right side of this financial
question. The more it is agitated THE
more they will abandon the silver lunacy.
because free silver would hurt them more
than any other people in the United
States. They need the confidence of o
stable currency to develop their great re-
sources and to give them time to pay off
their indebtedness instead of having their
creditors swoop down and dean them
out of all their possessions through the
| fear of general wreck and ruin that sill
yer recommendation would everywhere pro
duce."

lulu. The selection of these prem
ises was made for a multiplicity of
reasons, chief among them being fav-
orable location, surroundings, ar
rangement of building necessitating
slight changes, sanitary facilities, etc.
Perhaps no building in the city of
Honolulu possesses so fine a location
as that to which the Bishop mansion
is claimant. Placed as it is within
the center of a dwelling house district,
it has none of the disagreeable sur
roundings incident to closely packed
localities, but preserves intact the
fresh and invigorating atmosphere due
to the large yard and labyrinth of
trees and shrubs.
From Emma street the Bishop
grounds are shut off from public view
by stone wall, now overgrown with
manner of spreading themselves
about. Above the wall can be seen
just the faintest touches of variously
colored foliage, causing one to long for
a closer view. By two gates admis-
sion can be gained-one directly in
front of the house for those entering
on foot, another to the extreme left
for the accommodation of vehicles.
The grounds possess that soitened
and tropical appearance so common to
the islands; but instead of the wild
overgrowth of abundant vegetation,
likewise so common here, there is the
appearance of a master hand preva-
lent throughout the whole-in the
laying out of lawns, arrangement of
certain plants in numerous places to
make a harmonious effect, the group
ing of vines and plants near the house
show to greater advantage the latter,
But the Bishop mansion deserves
still greater attention, owing to the
fact that the Bishop estate trustees are
now considering an offer made by the
Board Of Education, who are anxious
TO secure the building for a high
school, the present one used for that
purpose being inadequate to growing
needs.

sion, it is believed, will show 10 the

i door, and used in the time of Mrs.
Bishop for reception purposes.
To the left are three rooms of nearly
equal size, used as bedrooms at one
time. All these, with the reception
rooms, open into the hall by large
doors.
Certainly no more convenient ar
rangement as found on the first floor
could be thought of for school build
ing. The rooms are all large and des-
titute Of the unnecessary partitions
and stray corners so common in houses
of the size. Aside from this, there is
an abundance of light and almost per-
feet circulation, the windows being
specially adapted for that purpose.
Another advantage might be found in
the fact, that in case of fire, the rooms
could be emptied without the slightest
fear of panic.
The second floor is somewhat less
roomy than the first, wide balcony
compensating for the repnai dder.
Through the center of this floor
runs hall equal in size to the one
below and situated just above the
same. To the right and left of this are
bedrooms of good size, with bath and
dressing rooms. At the front are two
large windows opening on to small
balcony.
The ascent of another flight of stairs
takes one to the third, or tower story,
where the size is still more contracted.
The same construction as found on
the first and second floors is exempli-
fed there likewise.
On either side of the hall are small,
cosy bedrooms, possessed of ample
light and air and losing none of the
charm of the surroundings from their
high elevation.
Another and narrow flight of steps
leads to the summit Of the tower, and
from the door at the top an exit upon
the terrace to the rear can be effected.
Here it is that the beauty of Homo
lulu and its surroundings can be
viewed without the unpleasant effect
of having ones vision shut off by an
ugly building or an unprOmisiDg hill.
The harbOr, with its enchantment
of blue water, the long reaches of
white beach at Waikiki, vessels lying
at anchor, chains of mountains shut
ting off the mass of foliage and houses
which constitute Honolulu, the blight
patches of color here and there-all
combine to make picture of surpas
sing beauty only to beevlewed with
satisfaction from a building such as
the Bishop mansion.
With the advantages already men,
toned it is no wonder the Board of
Education decided on the Bishop
premises as the most suitable for high
school purposes to be found in Homo /
lulu.

in the success of any building as an
educational institution.
The basement is admirably adapted
for storage purposes, being furnished
with a cement floor throughout the
several compartments, into which it
is divided. In fact, at the time Mrs.
Bishop was living the basement was
used for putting away accumulations
of her ancestors, the Kamehamehas.
1t is very cool, being surrounded on
all sides by lattice work and perpan-
dicular Stats.
Ascending the front steps, which are
quite wide and perfectly suited to the
character of the building, one reaches
a veranda which extends around the
front part of the building, the back
part containing the dining room and
kitchen, being by this separated from
the front part.
The large door leading into the
front part of the house is an elaborate
piece of workmanship. Between this
and the hall is a vestibule some eight
feet wide. Running directly back,
and connecting the front with the
back part of the surrounding veranda,
is wide hall, from the left side of
which ascends flight of stairs upon
which no pains or money were spared.
At the top the flight winds to the
right, and is lost to view in the second
story.
To the right of the hallway are two
large rooms separated by folding
