paper lr. itself lonso in q ,iradc OF abuse
OF tho Republican c%ouncil, charging IN
effect, that the deficit was due to 10.
publican iucompotoncy, claiming that
the Dcmoctatic council had lot, a anr-
plus OF more than $4,000. and asserting
that the proposition OF Il loan OF $780,
900 was unnecessary and due wholly to
the lack OF business capacity on the
part oil the :inauce committee.
Yesterday the lNrELLiGESCES showed
clearly that thu present defci: OF 49,.
900 was entirely on recount OF oblicn'
tions incurred by Democratic councils;
that it was owing to the fact that bills
that werc due long ago aud should have
been paid were lett ms a legacy by the
Democrats for their Republican sTc-
cessors to provide for; that the ltepub.
lican council has 90 far not incurred n
single obi CATION and has made no mp.
preparations whatever except TO pro-
v:do ior the regular monthly current
expenses OF the departments; and that
the Democratic council lett no actual
surplus in the treasury, it being all "or
paper" These facts are OF common
knowledge TO all who know anything
about city a~I!airs, and business men and
citizens generally throughout tho city
are at a loss TO know what the Register
means by lis absurd statements and
ridiculous charges. which it repeated
yesterday even more boldly than in its
publication OF Saturday.
Tho only excuse offered By any one in
behalf OF the Registers course is that it
is totally ignorant OF the facts IN ON
aection with the situation, or else that
1t has set out to Intentionally mislead
Ihou.htless readers. 1t cannot expect,
OF course, to deceive the more inteiii-
gent class OF its constituency. for TO cay
that it does would be TO charge it with a
deliberate insu!: to their intelligence.

Catching the Dragon Fly.

"Cne of the greatest amusements for
the children of Japan is catching the
dragon fly" said DR.. W. F. Taylor of
Boston, who has spent several years in
Japan. Japan is q land of children, and
thousands of them literally put in several
weeks every autumn in capturing dragon
flies and tying kites to them for the fun
of seeing them fly. Soon after the turn of
the sun in the afternoon hundreds and
thousands of huge dragon flies busy them
selves flying over the ricefields and gar
dens, catching insects and gnats.
The japanese boys carefully saturate
the end of a bamboo with tar and start
out for the fun. They first hold the BAN
boo up to attract the unsuspecting drag
ons to take n rest. In a moment the boy
gives the bamboo twist and puts the tar
end into so many motions that it is almost
impossible for the creature to avoid it.
The boys are so expert at the business that
l have seen them chase fly that had got
much ahead of them and succeed in stick
ing the dragon fly to the reed. When once
on the tar end of the pole, there is a mis-
cradle future for the captives. They are
tied together and carried around in the
chase. Then a string is tied to each one,
and small piece of paper, serving as a
kite, which the poor flies are required to
sail They fly away, but of course soon
get caught into a tree or brush and die of
starvation. st Louis Globe Democrat.

Beyond DISPUTE.

1t is said that Mr.. Tyler from tho time
of his election to the vice presidency until
the death of General Harrison kept no
carriage, owing to the ilsufficiency of his
salary. When, however, he found him
self elevated to the chief magistracy Of
the country, the financial difficulty boing
removed, he determined to set up an
equipage.
He bought fine pair of horses, engaged
an Irish coachman and proceeded to look
about for vehicle to suit his taste. He
heard of ono which was for sale by gen
tleman residing in Washington and went
to look at it.
1t had been driven only few times and
was in excellent condition, so that the
president after careful examination felt
satisfied with it. Before finally deciding
t matter he had his Hibernian coach
man take q look at the carriage and give
his opinion of it.
Its jist the thing fer your honor" re-
ported that accomplished person.
But" qucriod Mr.. Tyler whimsically,
edo yoI think it would be altogether
proper for the president of the United
States to drive a secondhand carriage,

"And why not?" asked Pat, with a
shrewd twinkle in his eye. "Shure, an

Who Promotes Hawaiian Rebellion.

The character of the arrested conspira-
tors at Honolulu for trying to overturn
the republic of Hawaii, is clearly shown
by the real history of the two leaders.
John f. Bush, the editor of the Tea Leo
a newspaper of small circulation, is an
English half white the son of an English
convict and of native mother. His
private and public record for years has
been very bad He has considerable
ability, and was for some time in the cabi-
net of Kalakau, the dissolute brother and
Immediate royal predecessor of Liluoka-
lan He was kept in the ministry of
that king for special reasons, too corrupt
and unccan to he here described. When
Kalakau tried to put in execution his
absurd scheme of establishing Hawaiian
suzcrainty over Samoa, he sent Bush as
his plonopotcntiary to the king and chiefs
of those islands. But so disgraccful was
the conduct of Bush at Apia while on this
mission that he was obliged to return to
Hawaii as pronigatc bankrupt. When
Liliukolani became Queen on her brothers
death, Bush aspircd to place under the
new dynasty But Wilson, the English
half white favoritc of Liliuokalani, and
Bush were bitter enemies, and Wilson 5
influence over the female monarch was
sufficient to make Bush an unwclcomc in
trudor at the palace, and to prevent his
receiving any appointment to Office. In
that state of things he was always ready
to sell his services to whomsoever would
pay him,
When the Louisiana lottery scheme was
carried through the Legislature by the
bribery of money and the lottery stock,
the vote of Bush was secured TO the
Queens scheme of overturning the Con
st,tution and making new supreme
court under royal control. For years he
has been regarded with loathing by re-
spectacle citizens having only a limited
following among the irresponsible natives
and whites, all of the best of the native
Hawaiians being strongly averse to him.
The character of Nawahi, the other royal
rebel leader, is not commcndable. He
rcpudiated and got rid of one wife in a
disgraceful manner in order to take an
other already selected. Crick, who was to
supply the dynamite to blow up whatever
their plot demanded, is an Englishman
previously little known in Honolulu.
Bush for months prior to his arrest
had been continually saying in his paper,
that President Cleveland would restore
the monarchy, that the vote of the United
States Senate to the contrary would count
for nothing. And on the return of the
Iiliuokalani agents recently from Wash
ington, Bush's newspaper renewed with
emphasis the assurances that Cleveland
would restore the fallen Queen, and Wide
mann, Parker and eCummins gave no
contradiction to the assertions OF Bush.
These facts and others equally notorious
go to show conclusivcly the pernicious
influence of Cleveland's Hawaiian policy.

No "Chinese WaIlv Here.

Those were some very instructive truths
which were submitted to the members of
the Textile Club by Secretary Clarke of
the Home Market Club as to the character
of the Mckinley tariff. There has been
such loud and persistent chatter about the
'prohibitory" features of this law that a
good many ordinarily well-informed per-
sons have been deluded into the belief
that its duties were so high as to make the
importation of foreign manufactured
goods impossible. Unfortunately, the
treasury statistics of our foreign COM
merce are not favorite topic for popular
reading, or that humbug would long since
have been exploded
Addressing himself to the products in
which his hearers were most interested,
the secretary showed that those prohibit
ory' Mckinley rates, instead of absolutely
cutting off the flow of imports, in some
cases actually did not give adequate pro-
lection. We imported in 1892 more than
$2l 600 600 worth of foreign cotton goods,
more than $50, 600 900 worth of wooden
goods, and almost s20000,0 600 worth of silk
goods, all subject to the increased duties
Is is unfair and dishonest, therefore, to
represent the Mckinley act as in any
sense a prohibitory tariff. Its trainers did
not dream of making it prohibtory
AS Colonel Clarke well says. No en-
lightened protectionist advocates prohibit
tory duties, except against injurious arti
cles and the products of slave labor. :"
Every enlightened protectionist, moreover,
welcomes competition between our own
manufacturers and those of the old world
but it must be, so far as possible fair
and equal competition. The foreigner
must be compelled to pay for the privi
lege Of entering our rich markets sum as
near as may be equivalent to the advan-
tage which he has by reason of his lower
wages.
That the Mckinley duties, tested by this
standard, We're not at all too high. was
wildly demonstrated b. the immense
volume of competing importations which
came In while the law existed. In not one
important instance did these increased

A Word to Journal Readers.

One need not be very close observer
to see that with the great pressure upon
it's columns occasioned by the steno-
graphic and other reports of legislation
the journal has no space whatever to de-
vote to other matters, outside its tele-
graphic news service. Certainly it cannot
undertake to ventilate the views of pri-
yate individuals however prominent
upon matters Of prospective legislation,
while the rush of the session is upon us,
and the committees appointed to listen
to just such expressions of opinion are
holding their meetings at the state
House. That we said upon this point
two years ago will apply with equal
force now. At that time our position was
fully stated as follows:
with the advent of every legislative
session the Journal is overwhelmed with
communications from gentlemen who seek
in this way to secure the attention of
members of the Legislature for the pur-
pose of ventilating personal views upon
various matters that are to come up for
legislative consideration. Two years ago
we received more than one hundred such
communications during the session, some
of them exceeding two columns in length.
Had we undertaken to publish them we
should have had room in our columns
for little else. But we did not attempt
to do anything of the kind. The demands
made upon our columns during the SEES
sion by the regular House and Senate re-
ports are such as to leave us absolutely no
room for conducting forum, neither do
we think it incumbent upon us to do so.
The Legislature will give every man who
has anything to say in regard to proposed
matters of legislation ample opportunity
to be heard. 1t is for this very purpose
nat committee hearings arc held, and
due notice of them given to the interested
public If we should throw out our tele-
graph dispatches to make room for articles
cmbodying personal opinions we should
be in hot water at once. Exceptions
would be taken in almost every case and
more space demanded, on the ground of
fairness, to give expression to them and
thus one discussion would follow upon
the heels of another throughout the ses-
sion to the exclusion of almost everything
else. We cannot open our columns to
anything OF the kind. If we did so for
one man others would expect, and proper
ly so, to be accorded the same privileges
and thus the door be opened wide to end
less newspaper controversies over matters
that must be passed upon and should
therefore be discussed before the various
legislative committees at the sessions
held by them for that purpose.
ave trust our friends will appreciate our
position in this matter and not put upon
us the disagreeablc duty of returning such
contributions. We will say to those gen
tlcmen whose articles we have already re-
turned that this action was not necessarily
due to any objections to views expressed
in them, with many of which we are in
hearty accord but to the fact that the
crowded conditions of our columns this
winter will make it impossible for us to
find space for communications of this
character. "
