IT seems strange that our legisla-
ture doesn't change the law respect
ing the election of road OverseerS AS
it now stands it is decidedly lame.
For instance in Wa-Keeney township
there are several road districts. Dis
trict No. l in this township embraces
within its territory the city of Wa
Keeney which votes practically unani-
nous for the republican nominee. In
other words the votes are not all
needed here to elect road oyerseer. In
some of the outside districts it is diff
ferent and the vote may be quite
close. Those in this district may be
solicited to vote for some candidate
on the outside. This may be done
and it is not possible to detect it. In
other words the votes of District No.
1 or Wa-Keeney district may elect
the road overseers in the other pre-
cincts. 1t is true that the voter can
only vote for one road OyerSeer, but
he may vote for any one he chooses in
his township. This law should be
changed so as to make it impossible
for the elector to vote for any road
oyerseer except the one in his road
district.

IT is generally admitted that the
corn supply will fall short from esti-
mates made before the corn-gathering
season began. This is not only true
in this state but in all other states
where corn is the principal crop.
From reports it is safe to say that the
corn crop is fully one-third short of
estimates previously made.

church, and if the expense of getting 1t up is to be borne by neighboring trades people, it partakes of schemes which are sometimes characterized by the harsh terms of blackmailing and bulldozing. To my mind the most effective means of church advertising is through the news papers. 1 have been sufficiently curious to make an examination of the subject. The Chicago Tribune recently got some information with which to reply to the assertion that dailies give any amount of space to sports and crimes, but are stingy when they come to handling re- ligious intelligence. Sixty-one papers replied to the Tribune, showing the num- Der of columns of religious matter in the Mondays issue of their respective newspapers. The average amount of space devoted to church matters was about per cent of the whole, and in the list were. several papers like the New York Mercury and the New York Press, which reported no religious news what ever. I have estimated the amount of the religious news in the Brooklyn Eagle for the past three Mondays, and find that out of a total of 16s columns g were devoted to religious news, nearly 20 per cent of the total amount, and yet l sometimes question whether church people themselves really want rel glous news in their daily papers.
 There are in Brooklyn about 32O Prot estant churches. In one Brooklyn paper alone an army of 108 churches advertise their services every week, about 33A per cent In last Saturdays paper the pro- portion was as follows: Forty-three Baptist churches, 15 advertisements; 28 Congregational, 10 49 Methodist, 15; 35 Presbyterians, IA; 53 Episcopal, 15; Il Unitarian, g. Universalist, 3. Count ing the advertisements in other papers of that city, I think the proportion of churches advertising in this way will reach nearly 50 per cent. If the churches would utilize the religious advertising columns throughout the week 1t would be, in my judgment, the most effective method they could adopt Advertising their prayer meetings, Christian En- deavor and Epworth league meetings, etc, the Saturday announcements are not sufficient. It should be a daily re- hinder. The theaters are not satisfied with one day a week advertising. I do not advocate the use of the personal column or a newspaper, as one clergy man in New York has been doing re- gently, but a dignifed statement of the activities of a church, placed under the proper classification, would, I believe, be of great benefit People of today look to the newspapers for the announcement of the things in which they are most in- . terested It is no longer the custom to hear of deaths and marriages from the pulpit, as was formerly the custom. All these things, together with the announce ment of amusements, social gatherings, meetings of all kinds, are bulletined in the daily papers. A more liberal prac tice of this policy on the part of the church would, think, prove a great ad vantage"

upon the same basis with the gold miner. The gold miner can take his product to the mint and have it's true value stamped upon it. No one would object to free coinage of silver upon that basis, except for the fact that the silver in d dollar today may be worth more or less than dollar tomorrow. As to the state ment about the relative cost of producing gold and silver, there is nothing to sus- tain it.
 Would not the S71 grains of pure silver in a silver dollar be worth a dollar whether coined or not if the holder of that much silver could send it to the mint and have it coined into dollar? 
 The value of silver does not depend up- on what can be done with it in the mint, but what can be done with it in the mar ket It is not the mint stamp-it is the legal tender act which would give in- Hated value to silver under free coinage.
 XII.
 Should the financial policy of the United States, which is a debtor. nation, be the same as England. which is the greatest creditor nation on earth?
 The financial policy of a debtor nation should be the soundest In the world. X borrower, above all other men, must maintain his credit. creditor nation may do as it plesses with its money, but a borrower nation dare not tamIer with it's credit. If England has the best sys- tenn, by all means the system of the United States should be the same, re- gardless of whether we are debtors or creditors.
 Why is it that all the creditor class of this country, embracing capitalists, bankers, trust companies, brokers etc., are almost unanimously against the free pOinapp nf silver while the dphtOr class is almost universally on the other side?
 The great debtor class of this country is composed of the railroads, banks, trust companies and insurance compa- nies, yet, in face of the fact that these institutions owe more money than all of the rest of the country, their mana gers oppose the free coinage of gold be- cause they understand that debtors are more interested in a sound and stable currency than creditors can possibly be-
 XIV.
 Is not the value of both gold and silver fixed by the law of supply and demand? Is not the principal demand for both metals to coin them into money and if you close the hints against the free coinage of either of them would you not, by cutting off two-thirds of the demand decrease the value?
 The value of all commodities is fixed by the law of supply and demand Free coinage of silver does not increase the supply, and does not affect the demand for silver. Free coinage does not take silver out of the market it simply meas ures it and overvalues it. Silver is weighed against, that is priced by the products of the mills, mines and fields. So is gold. And it Is the part of wis dom to let all prices of all products be regulated by the buyers and sellers through the influence of the markets.

As it is established upon the authority of experts that it costs fully as much, if not more, to mine silver than it does gold, why isl itthat the goldite objects to the silver miner being put upon the same basis as the gold miner?

The answer to this question is that there is nothing whatever to base the statement upon that is at all conclusive. There is nothing more misleading than the annual changes in the assessed value of property. There has been no marked increase in the wealth of any section of the country since the passage of the Sherman bill, and there will be no such increase until commerce and industry alike revive

This country formerly had to borrow no money to maintain it's credit, because it had no debt due on demand. It has in greenbacks and treasury notes over $500 900 due on demand. It has sl- yer dollars out which it has agreed to maintain at par To give every reason able assurance that this demand debt will be paid the government has to keep "a good reserve in gold. As long as there was a doubt about our ability to meet this debt lon demand" gold went out. When Cleveland declared his determina- tion to keep up the gold reserve, the drain closed.

THERE is not yet general clear
ness on the subject OF parole OF
political prisoners. THE STAR is
now able to present the facts about
which it believes the public to be in
doubt. The only petitions formally
considered by the Advisory Council
were those from the men liberated
on Thanksgiving Day. There was
no vote upon the prisoners yet re-
naming in Oahu Jail. The Board
of Pardons undertook to consider
the cases upon merit The measure
was the attitude of the man appeal
ing for clemency. The standard
was his position as to the Republic
and its constitution and laws. Only
men evidently believing in the
integrity Of these were deemed
proper subjects for the bestowal
of the gifts of the Council. There
were petitions from the men yet on
the reef" but the Council was adj
vised that these papers were signed
at the last moment, unwillingly,
under pressure from friends Oh the
outside, and perhaps with some
reservation. The Council was con-
WINGED that Walker, Richard and
the five natives to whom favor was
extended were genuinely repentant,
fully cognizant of the governmental
situation as it really is aud sincere
il their voluntary pledges OF contin-
ne good behavior and regard for
the statutes. This is "the lay of
the land" just now, as one might
say. And just now it can safely be
advised that the remaining political
prisoners will be advantaged by
calm study Of the situation as here
outlined.
