OBJECTIONS FOUNDED ON WIND.

Objections to the Honolulu cleo
trio railway have simmered down
to series of broad, meaningless
assertions that the city is to be
made the victim of jobbery and
hoodwinked at every turn at which
the investors can gain a point. A
narrow minded prejudice has char
acterized the attacks of the even
ing paper and it is satisfied to rest
its tale of woe on the whimper of
jobbery, failing utterly in present
ing facts to substantiate the accus-
alton. 1t is also proper to state
that the bill printed in the paper a
few evenings since, was not the bill
as presented to the Senate by the
House and was misleading in
many respects.
Some honest suggestions have
been made by various people of the
community for a change in the
wording of some parts of the fran
chise, which change they believe
will define the powers of the cor
poration more explicitly. Among
other things it is suggested that
certain portions read subject to
the approval Of the Minister of the
Interior" rather than submitted"
to the Interior Department. This
is a very small matter and to allay
the fears of the suspicious
we see no reason why their request
should not be granted. The pro-
moters have shown no disposition
to bubble over small points. What
they want and what the people
want them TO have is fair bust
ness proposition that will enable
them to carry the work of construc-
ton forward at an early day as
possible. Though the men with
the money ready to invest have
been dubbed sharpers and a COM
bination little short of q gang of
men, there has been
absolutely nothing brought forward

Timely Copies

In the year 1858 Japan
made a treaty with the Amer
lean Government, it being the
first commercial treaty ever
drafted by the former country
From then on, for several
years, the intercourse with
foreign powers brought to
Japan an increased volume Of
business, and still greater
benefits by demonstrating to
that country the distance be-
tween it and the more civilized
nations that the manner OF
conducting their business in
terests with outside countries
were too crude.
Just at this time Eastern
mercantile houses commenced
directing their attention to-
wards Japan for closer bust
ness relations, but unfortu-
nately for them the report was
circulated that foreigners were
barred from doing any bust
ness in the Empire. Until 1868
Japan had very dark days"
but in that year the existing
form of government was over
thrown and a new dynasty
stepped into power with lead
ers who saw that the future of
the country depended on reel
procity.
Aswe are all familiar with their
more modern history, it is need
less to describe their phenomi-
nal success and the rapidity
with which they adopted the
manners and customs of their
Eastern competitors.
1t is to be hoped that their
recent success in overthrowing
the Chinese will not so assure
them of their being unable to
err, that they will stand in the
light of their own advancement.
People say this is the fn-de-
seicle age, but from the ap-
pearance of the streets of Ho-
nolulu, one would think that it
was the hn-de bicycle age.
Coming events cast their
shadows before thcm," as will
be plainly seen by the sale of
the MONARCH BICYCLE since its
arrival in Hawaii nei. When
we first considered taking the
for the "Monarch," we,
of course, expected that it
would give the other bicycle
agents something to think
about. No one, if they had
been asked to give a coDSer-
vative estimate on the length
of time it would take us to sell |
our first consignment OF
eleven wheels, would have
guessed it correctly, and when
we state that it took exactly |
four days, we feel certain that
they would have asked to see
our books in order to verify
what we say. In fact, we are
glad we have the books to
show, otherwise we would be
tempted to doubt our own
word.
Such has been the pheno-
nenal sale of the MONARCH
BICYCLE that we have been
compelled to take orders for
BICYCLES to arrive. This is a
point that we wish to impress
lpon you, that whatever you
nay wish in the way Of a
Monarch" as regards the diff
erent models, pedals etc, we
will only be too glad to order
or you, but on account of the
rolume of orders that are daily
formulating in the factory, it
S impossible for them to turn
'ut the goods as fast as the

TWO SORTS OF EARTHQUAKES. Q
Isaac p. Gray Was Greeted by Them
Nov. 9.

Governor Isaac r. Gray, Minister to Mex
leo, was a caller at the executive Iarlors
yesterday. He said that his son, Pierre
while showing improvement had not yet
been able to leave his bed. The minister
did not know when he could return to his
post in the City of Mexico. When asked
about the earthquake there Tuesday, he
said:
1.-THE City of Mexico had a pretty serious
shake on Nov. 6. The chandeliers swung
five or six feet, but still no lives were lost
I read, however, that the cathedral was
damaged so much that it would require $780,
900 to repair the injury. The city has some
modern five and six story buildings, but
the reports do not say that any of these
were injured yesterday 1 have fears
that my wife or son were in danger, or
would have heard from them by telegraph
I know nothing of the event other than
what / saw in the papers.
Governor Gray was not in Indiana about
Nov 6. and only knows of that earthquake
by what he read in the Mexican papers
and what Private Secretary King has told
him. Minister Gray says he had acquired
sufficient knowledge of Spanish to read the
Mexican papers little, but at that time
that little was enough.

He Will Apparently Have a COmfOrta.
bic Sum Left.

The trustees of the store of Albert Gall
treasurer of State, found that the invoice
footed up $4,000, and this inventory of his
property is exclusive of his real estate. The
total value of his property is estimated at
$14o 900 which, if his loss by reason of the
bank failure be $4,000, will still leave him a
comfortable sum in which to resume bust
ness. The estimates are based upon forced
sale considerations
There is disposition among the State
officials to think the newspaper talk about
the money in the Statehouse vaults being
SO large is unfortunate. 1t is said that this
is an invitation for all the safe breakers in
the country to give indianapolis visit and
if they cannot find their way through chilled
steel doors, afterwards, they might try to
raise expenses by assaults upon some com
mercial banks. Custodian Griffin has re-
doubled his vigilance and every one enter
ing the Statehouse after night will have to
give an explanation of his business

STREET-CAR COLLISION.
Four Cars In n Smash-Up on Virginia
Avenue-SIippery Track and No Sand.

There was a collision of street cars at
the west end of the Virginia-avenue viaduct
yesterday morning about o'clock. Motor
No. 545 Of the Indiana-avenue and Shelby
street line was crossing the Maryland-street
curve on it's out trip Motor $50, on the
Prospect-street line. was coming down the
incline, but owing to the slippery con-
dition of the track could not be stopped
and the Maryland-street switch being open
it smashed into the car which was cross
ing the curve. The front of car No. 539
was badly wrecked. There were many pas
Sengers on the two and they were
badly shaken up Two or three pafrolmen
on their way to roll call were slightly
bruised in jumping Edward Gates. con
ductor of the Prospect-street line had his
face badly cut by being thrown forward
against the glass door. William Thurman,
employed by the Indianapolis Stove Com
pany had a rib broken. Others were
bruised but no serious accidents occurred.
Two other cars, No. 54S, of the Indiana
avenue and Shelby-street line, and an
English-avenue car came down the viaduct
shortly after the wreck. Both motormen
reversed the current, account of the
slippery track, but could not stop their cars
before striking the wreck. They did no
damage.

POSTPONED THE ENTRY.
County Commissioners Delay the
Greenwood Electric Line Franchise.

The County Commissioners, after deciding
to grant the Indianapolis, Greenwood &
Franklin Electric Railway Company a right
of way, postponed the entry Of the fran
chise yesterday afternoon. The entry
was to have been made yesterday morn
ing, but the appearance of manager Sam
uels, of the Postal Telegraph Company,
with a large and serious objection to the
contemplated act put temporary stop to
the proceedings. Mr.. Samuels Informed the
Commissioners that the poles of the postal
company occupied right of way along the
west side of the road and asserted that the
construction of an electrician line would
seriously interfere with the telegraph COM
pany's business. Mr.. Samuels asked the
commissioners to insert a clause in the
franchise forbidding the Greenwood COM
pany from displacing the telegraph poles.
This the commissioners declined to do and
the matter resolved itself into an argument
between the telegraph and street railway
companies. Mr.. Samuels and H. Clay AL
len, attorney for the railway company, dis
cuSsed the matter for a time, but failed
to reach a conclusion. The commissioners
then disposed Of the difficulty by changing
the franchise so that it would require the
Greenwood company to remove the poles
of the postal company to the east side
of the road at its own expense. Manager
Samuels says that unless this is done prop
erly and to the entire satisfaction of his
company he will enjoin the building of the
road. The provisions of the right of way
to the Indianapolis. Greenwood &
Franklin electric railway require the road
to be completed one year from date The
franchise was made to read twenty-five
years, despite the protest of attorney
Allen, who asked for a thirty-fve-years'
lease. The company is to protect the coun-
ty from all suits that may be brought for
injury to persons or property and 1t not
to interfere with the drainage of the road.
The company must build suitable crossings
at intersections and must construct it's own
bridges
