CLEVELAND AND SHERMAN.
The President Seeks Republican Aid In
the Financial Crisis.

the Financial Crisis.
The report that President Cleveland
has been in consultation with Senator
Sherman is significant. 1t probably
means that an endeavor is being made
by the administration to secure repub-
lican aid for some measure of relief for
the treasury. The finance question is
about the only one that could have any
chance to bring these statesmen to-
gether. 1t is likely that the president
realizes by this time that the only hope
of satisfactory currency legislation in
the present congress lies in actively en-
listing the republicans in its favor. In
dOubtedly the best way for the presi-
dent to communicate with the repub-
licans on this issue is through their
oldest and most capable leader, John
/ Sherman. Whatever promises John
| Sherman has made the president on the
| finance question will probably be in
| dorsed by the whole of the republicans
in congress.
Both Sherman and Allison. however,
had already taken steps to help the
treasury out of it's difficulties so far as
this could be done in advance of a
heavy increase in receipts or decrease
| in expenditures. Each has presented a
bill to amend the resumption law of
1875 in such way that low-interest and
short-time bonds can be sold by the
secretary of the treasury. The bills
differ somewhat from each other in de-
tail, but they resemble each other in
general scope and purpose. Under each
the government could obtain gold IN
der greater advantages than are pro-
vided by the law as it stands at pres
ent. In their broader lines each meas
ure has something in common with one
which Sherman prepared during the
extra session Of 1898, but which was not
acted on. Any bill in this field which
either Sherman or Allison presents can
be relied on TO be adequate for the
emergency.
But Is there any assurance that any
finance measure framed by a repub-
lican can be enacted during the life
time of this congress? Perhaps either
the Sherman or the Allison bill. il
promptly pushed in the committee,
may get through the senate before the
middle of February, but its chances
would not be favorable in the house.
That body, with its more than ninety
democratic plurality. and with a large
part of its democratic membership de-
feated and discredited at the Novem-
Der election, is not in the mood TO pass
any bill which has the sanction of the
administration, which it imagines to
l.
throw. However, this obstruction
shouldNnot deter the republicans Of the
senate from assisting their leaders,
Sherman and Allison, in the endeavor
TO relieve the treasury. The revenues
are increasing, and the end Of the
monthly deficits is probably close at
hand, but the fact that the gold fund
is below the seventy million dollar
mark, and is steadily dropping, is an
evidence that at least one more bond
sale will have to be made.-St. Louis

agents to make special inspection of
houses and premises in the city of
Honolulu with view OF placing the
same in a good sanitary condition,
and the public are therefore requested :
l. To render all assistance to the
agents of the Board.
2. To obey the instructions of the
health agents.
8. To put drains, cesspools, privy-

in good sanitary condition.
1. To have all garbage and other
decaying refuse promptly removed,
and all sources of noxious smell disin-
fected. Chloride of lime is cheap as

FROM THE QUARANTINE.
Lucas in Exile" Gives Some
Facts From the Station.

MIR. EDITOR Il consider it my duty
to say few words to allay the feel
ings of the public of Honolulu in re-
gard to the supposed cholera said to
exist at the quarantine station. There
have been three deaths from stom.
ach trouble. One of the men was an
opium f1end and was well advanced in
years. He recovered from the stom-
ach trouble and am satisfied had he
been able to get his regular amount of
opium he would have been alive to-
day. / will say this man has been an
old resident of the Islands and was in
no way connected with the contract
men that came for the Planters Labor
and Supply Company.
The other two men had several at
tacks of dysentery and of course, not
having the facilities of regular hos
pital and at the same time being sus-
piciOus of the foreigners who were
treating them, they would not take
the medicine prescribed by the doctor
in charge of the quarantine, conse-
quently they did not last long. There
are 500 persons or more in quar-
ant1ne and L am more than sur
prised that more of them are not sick.
The native woman that died at
Iw1lel must have eaten poisoned fish,
as no one has been admitted at or
near the quarantine grounds. MIR.
McVeigh, the superintendent, has
given instructions not to allow anyone
near the station, and we are ali in
terested IN having his orders fulfilled.
This evenings Bulletin has an edi-
torial on Mr.. Awana, of Makawao,
being allowed to leave the steamer
without going into quarantine. My
friend Dan is off, as Awana is in quar-
antine with the balance of the passen-
gers and will remain until released.
L would not feel alarmed to nurse any
of the supposed cholera cases said to
exist in Honolulu.

work, and station superintendents give
extraordinary reports OF their value. The
batteries were primarily intended to help
out the station at the time that the great
est amount of current was needed. Steam
plants were formerly used for this maxi
mum load service. but it is now found that
batteries of the same capacity come much
cheaper. The reason for this is that they
are ready for use at all times, and as they
can be switched on during the one or two
hours of the maximum load, they do away
with the necessity for running the steam
plant too hard at any time. On
system nights and Sundays, when
the output is small, they come in most
handily. The company has therefore been
reaping all the advantages of the service,
and providing effectively for all the exi-
gencies of the maximum load for much
less than a steam plant would have cost
them. More than once when the station
has been shut down for fifteen hours or
more, the batteries have satisfactorily
furnished current for the whole ex-
tensive system. The makers of the
batteries evidently have the utmost con-
tidence in their quality and efficiency.
They undertake to insure and keep in re-
pair the whole plant at per cent per
annum of the original cost.

the men to work and dispatched messen-
ger to make inquiries. The man came
back with the word that the superintend-
ent and his visitor had taken a team i'm
mediately on their arrival at Georgetown
and had driven away toward Sacramento.
The foreman thought good deal, broke
into the superintendent desk at last,
scrutinized the records of what the mill
had done during the two months, blew
open the safe and took what was left, and
that night he, too, disappeared from the
vicinity of Mammoth Bar camp.
There were hot times for a couple of weeks
in Mammoth Bar. The other men found
out that, instead of fortune that the mill
was supposed to have yielded, the output
had been miserably small. The saloon
men and shopkeepers closed their places
and joined the crowd of miners that
wrecked the superintendent's house and
smashed the machinery, because there was
nothing else on which to get even.
One day the crowd, realizing that its own
necessities were stronger than individual

way the vein dipped, and reasoned that
their yarns about the richness that was
down in the earth somewhere thereabouts
must be equally true. And he moved the
remnants of his good clothes over to the
river and started in as so many had be-
fore him on the Demijohn.
Pretty soon Uncle Peters, the head of
the Lincolnshire Peterses, died and Heads
came in for a nephew's share of his fortune
1t was not as big as the pile that had gone
with the sheep, but it was pretty big and
easily enough, Peters thought, to be the
foundation of millions. He had learned
something about mines by this time, and
the scratching he had done encouraged
him to persevere. So another mill went
up on the old site, not so big and preten-
tious as the one Cal Wright superintended,
but quite bit of mill.

if he wanted to. By and by they stopped
Heads Peters credit over at Georgetown,
and it was only by occasionally deserting
his claim for day or two and working for
somebody else that he was able to get
bacon and -four enough to live on. Even
the remnant of his good clothes was gone
now. The light, woolly trousers were
patched up with discarded overalls. The
coat was no longer blue; but Peters, with
the pity of the whole country on him,
worked along.
"It's awful the way them tenderfoots
takes it when they get the fever" said
Sam Newton, who had himself been peg

at his place. We tried to get him to go
over to the poor-farm, but he wouldn't do
it, and once we about made up our minds
to send him to lunatic asylum down at
Stockton just to save his life."
Up in Ell Dorado County they always
stop at this point of the story. The

it is to ask for the end.

WHAT | WOULD Do IF
[ WERE A POLITICIAN.
BY w. C, MORROW.

1t being taken for granted that as a rule
the conduct of politics in San Francisco
has been corrupt; that it has been gener-
ally in the hands of men lacking both hon.
esty and patriotism, and that as result
the City has suffered great harm through
the unsavory reputation of its municipal
government, I would secure intelligent
answers to these questions before deciding
to go into politics as business: Is there
in the City sufficient number of intelli-
gent, public-spirited and honest men to
control local politics if they were prop
erly organized? If SO, why have they
never properly organized? Would they,
after organization, be sufficiently diligent,
able and public-spirited? Have they the
courage and manliness to defy the power
of the evil men who ride and rob them?
am satisfied that careful study of the
strong men in town would produce salts
factory answers to all these questions, not
withstanding the record of cowardice, in
competency and Indifference that the
absence of such organization has i'm
pressed on the history of the City.
Believing that sporadic local "citizens'"
and reform movements are bad politics
and bad judgment from every point OF
view; that the vital element of official &C.
counta bility to powerful, extensive and
permanently organized political body is
lacking in such movements; that munich
pal politics of that order cannot feel the
moral pressure or exercise the dignified
influence which would appertain to a
local branch of great National party, l
would, proceed straightforwardly in the
ranks of the National party of my choice,
bring myself in line with its general policy
and secure the full force of its moral infiu-
ence. 1t is manifestly an appreciation of
this philosophy that makes political ras-
calry seek the shelter and enjoy the
power which affiliation with an estab-
lished National party affords.
Probably the next step would be an at
tempt to secure the cooperation of news
paper reporters. The knowledge of men, af-
fairs and methods possessed by these inde-
fatigable workers is amazing, and, when
combined, unmatchable. If organized as a
bureau of information alone, leaving out
of account any actual field work that they
might be induced to do, they would repre-
sent force of incompatible value. Among
them will be found some who are familiar
with the shady mysteries of politics of the
