THE First Regiment quite cover
ed itself with glory last evening.
The uniformed force of the Repub-
lie, without its artillery, made a
really excellent showing and the
visitors, all experienced men, said
so without reserve. Besides the
First Regiment, Hawaii has foot
and mounted police, cavalry COM

known as the Citizens Guards.

is to move into house when
it is not quite ready for occu-
pancy. That's our experience
in the new store. We expect
ed to have everything in shape
for your inspection on Mon
day. But it is notl The stock
of goods was so large and the
store is so large that we must
ask your indulgence and not
criticize us too sharply when
you come in on Monday and
find things unused up"
We have had a big corps of
men working day and night to
get in order, but it was no use.
We have, however, succeeded
in separating the departments
and putting the hardware, the
glassware, the stoves and the
crockery in their respective
departments and we can attend
to your wants, because the
facilities for transacting bust

HOADLY AND M'KINLEY.

A few years ago there was a riot in
Cincinnati. Governor Hoadly called
out the militia to assist in quelling it,
The soldiers were commanded by a.
Colonel Colt who ordered the troops
to fire on the mob at a critical stage
in the progress of the disturbance.
Fatal results followed the volley and
the colonel was promptly indicted by
the grand jury for murder. Governor
Hoadly denounced the indictment and
said that if the case were not dis
missed he would resign as chief execu-
tive of the state and defend the man
The proceedings were dropped
Later there were riots at Washing
ton Courthouse in the same state and
again the troops were called on to aid
the civil power. Colonel Colt was
again in command. After waiting un-
til the last moment, after exhausting
every peaceful method of avoiding
more severe measures, the order to fire
was given and several people were
killed or wounded Mckinley was then
governor of the state. Colonel Colt
was indicted for murder. The COVER
nor was appealed to to exert his infiu-
ence to save faithful officer of the
state from a harassing and unwar-
ranted trial. Nothing could induce the
little Napoleon" to open his mouth
he is too little; he favored protection,
but not of that kind. Colonel Colt was
put on his trial. He expended over
twenty thousand dollars in his defense.
He was acquitted at the end of an
anxious and unjust trial. The legisla-
ture has just voted to reimburse him
his expenses. This would all have been
obviated if Mckinley had been more
of a man and less of mere poll
tician.

GOOD SCRIPTURE, BAD LAW.

A rather interesting case was decided
in the United States supreme court the
other day. A Cherokee, named AL
berty, had killed negro trying to get
into the bedroom of Alberty's wife.
After killing the negro, Alberty fled,
and the judge before whom he was
tried, charged the jury that the fact
that he had fled after committing the
crime was an evidence of guilt. He
backed up his law with a scriptural
quotation; THE wicked flee when no
man pursueth, but the righteous are
bold as lion
Mr.. Justice Brown. in delivering the
opinion of the supreme court, remarked
that the trial judge had made a cor
rect scriptural quotation, but that the
legal deduction was wrong The justice
was certainly right.
Mr.. Justice Brown laid down the law
IN the case, and clearly defined what a.
husbands rights are in the premises.
He declared the rule of law to be this:
I'VE think that man who sees an
otner trying to obtain access to his
Wlfe's room in the night time by open
ing window may not only remon-
Strate with him, but may employ such
force as may be necessary to prevent
ms dong SO, and if the other threatens
10 XIII and makes a motion as if to do
SO and puts him in fear of his life or of
great bodily harm he is not bound to
retreat, but may use such force as is
necessary to repel the assault"
That will be accepted not only as
good law but as good sense.

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

From our state exchanges and from
what we learn from other sources, the
towns from Brigham City to Spanish
Fork are infested with tramps. They
are travelling in gangs and in such
numbers as to be a terror to the
housewives on the farms and even in
the smaller towns. 1t is no use to
waste sympathy upon them, to coddle
them by telling them they are the
victims of social system over which
they have no control. They will drink
in all such stuff as they will hot coffee
inwardly at the poor fools who pour
their pity upon them.
OF course there may be good, honest,
labor-loving tramps as there may be
white black birds, but like the white
black birds, they remain to be dis
covered. A tramp hates work like the
devil hates holy water; in fact it is not
certain that if he were given the choice
between death and work he would not
choose death. The tramp is the pro-
duct OF his own sweet will, self
educated being. To the extent that he
is not this, he is the product of abso-
lutte idleness and pure cussedness.
Two years ago these tramps organ
lied themselves into armies" going.
like Satan, to and fro in the earth and
walking UP and down in it. AS such
armies they became more or less of
menace. There are not wanting signs
that they may do the same again. So
far as the state of Utah is concerned,
the thing shouldn't be allowed. 1t can
be prevented by nipping it in the bud.
These tramps are Migrants, and when
they strike a town they should be
treated as such. Do not let them be
fed at the public expense without max
ing them do work upon some highway
or other public work. If all the towns
in the state that are infested with the
tramp nuisance will pursue this policy
undeviatingly, they will soon free them
SELVES of tramps. And the people
along the highways where they pass
should refuse to aid them unless they
Will work for their meals and lodging.
If they refuse to do this and commit
any assault (and it should be borne in
mind that an assault does not include
a battery let the citizens SO assaulted
make complaint to the proper officers
and have them apprehended and
punished according to law.
Let it be understood throughout all
trampdom that Utah is not a tramps
paradise but rather his hell, and it
will go long way to abate the great
nuisance in this state.

THE BICYCLIsTs.

All over the east the rage for bfcy
cling is greater this year than last.
So numerous have bicyclists become in
New York that they have been able
to get a bill through the legislature
at Albany declaring bicycles baggage
and compelling railroads to carry them
as such. That was a. great and signal
triumph for the Dicyclists. In Ohio a
bill has been introduced in the legis-
lature for the same purpose. 1t is not
at all improbable that the same sort
of legislation will be enacted in all the
states, and it is no stretch of ina gina
ton to say that it may yet become
subject of congressional action as the
bicyclists are taking longer and longer
excursions awheel and a state law
would be wholly inadequate to deal
with the question of bicycles as bag
gage where these excursions become of
an interstate character.
The bicycle craze does not seem to

an active factor in industrial enter

an active factor in industrial enter
prises.
The disadvantages arising from a
scarcity of money are, first, the rate
of interest 1s high-money is dear; it
is difficult to get it at all, for the de-
mand is so much greater than the
supply Under such circumstances
money appreciates and that means de-
probation of property values; hence
more and more property is needed to
secure loans; products of the farm and
the mill are also falling, so that more
and more product is required to oh
tain money to meet debt obligations,
and such times are especially hard on
those burdened with debt or who en-
ter into long time obligations.
Second, scarcity of money results in
contraction of enterprise-the re-
sources of the country remain unde-
veloped-labor is unemployed, becomes
restless and immoral. Cheapness of
nothing with which to buy; neither the
mills nor the farms can be run pro-
fitably-the markets are constantly
falling, so that cost of production eats
UP all possible profits; in fact, with
the market falling it is not unlikely
that the manufacturer will find be-
tween the time of purchasing his raw
material and putting the finished pro-
duct on the market, the cost of the
material and the cost of production is
greater than the market value of his
wares, and he is confronted with ruin.
Third, with money constantly appre--
ciating property values constantly fall,
and with them of course securities fall,
with the result that capitalists and
money lenders become timid and
hoard their money instead of either in
vesting it themselves or loaning it to
others to invest, bringing about in
dustrial stagnation with all its attend
ant evils of enforced idleness of labor,
and an increase of crime.
There can be no question as to which
is the best condition. scarcity or an
abundance of money. The Times
Herald is converted to the doctrine
that an abundance of money is desir-
able: only it would secure that abund-
ance by bringing it from Scotland and
England, we would favor its being
brought from the American mines by
American labor, ito scatter plenty Ger
a smiling land ="

THE soRTIE AT BULUwAYo.

The storm center Of war is just now
In Buluwayo, South Africa. 1t appears
that for some time the Matabeles have
been assembled in threatening num-
bers near Buluwayo; and what was
perhaps even more alarming the town
has been filing up of late with natives,
and as the new corners could not well
be distinguished from the friendly ma
tives who have lived within the city,
the English garrison have been I'M
easy lest the natives in the town should
rise against the whites within the city
outside should make their attack. To
say the least of it, the position of the
English at Buluwayo has been a try
ing one for number of weeks: and
evidently the sortie of the British
troops, of which our dispatches yes
terday had so much to say, was an at
tempt on their part to bring relief by
anticipating the attack of the Malta
beles, and by surprising them drive
them away.
The dash was bold one, characters
tically English, and full Of instances of
personal bravery. OF one trooper 1T is
said he charged alone close up to the
Matabele works to pick up a wound
ed friend, dragging him upon his sad
die and retreated after emptying the
magazine of his rifle at the enemy.
Another trooper" the account says,
''stood over a fallen comrade and with
the stock of his rifle beat off the ma
tives until both he and his friend were
rescued by a charge of their COM
rades."
In another instances, after fierce
fighting, the natives drove the British
back and down the river bank. while
crossing the river in the retreat, F..
c. Selous had a narrow escape. His
horse was killed in mid-stream and he
became entangled in the stirrups, and
when he extricated himself he was half
drowned and would have sunk had it
not been for Lieutenant Windley, who
swan his horse out into the middle of
the river in the face Of the fire OF
the enemy, rescued Selous, and reached
the left bank without injury"
There is much in the English char
acter that one cannot like. Its self
assertion, Dts offensive aggressiveness
it's narrowness; but this trait of cour-
age and fidelity in the sore hour OF
trial, this being true to each other in
the presence of death-this, like char
ity, covers a multitude of sins-nay, is
it not charity? Does not love primarily
lead men ITO risk their lives for their
fellow men; and is it not the root and
foundation of that comradeship which
leads to such personal heroism as was
displayed in this sortie? We hope the
names of the troopers who risked their
lives for their companions will soon be
known, for such action inspires youth
with lofty sentiments, and it exhibits
the fact that even in these cold, modern
days of selfishness the spirit of chiv-
airy is not extinct.
AS to the sortie Itself, it is difficult as
yet ITO determine its value to the En-
glish at Buluwayo; except in this that
1T will quicken the movements of Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary for the
colonies, in sending reinforcements of
British troops ito South Africa.

The New York Evening Post makes
mention of Senator Brown and his de-
nunciation of the distribution of the
Indian money in these terms: 'aThe
United States senate did not have time
yesterday to finish its fight over the
old Settlers Job. The debate was
characterized generally by the cour-
tesy which has made this chamber a
by-woid. Mr.. Brown of Utah, being a
new man from new state, may per-
llaps be excused for forgetting himself
in burst of honest indignation, and
denouncing The wholesale distribution
OF the Indians money among lot of
lobbyists and attorneys as 'palpable
steal;' but he will nave to go through

he can be received again into the So
efety Ct Teller and Wilson and other

have reached Utah this year and deal
ers find that their trade is rather slow.
There may be several explanations for
this. There is no bicycle track in the
City this year where there are to be
races at frequent intervals. and pre-
sumably the same is the case in other
towns in the state. Many people who
had the craze last year have it in a
modified form this year, but they are
greatly different from this years mod
els. The craze has not spread far bey-
ond the ranks of those who had it last
year. Another cause for the lack of
interest in bicycling is the fact that
the dealers are not pushing their wheels
by advertising to any extent 1t is
useless to expect business to thrive
unless it is thoroughly advertised.
In this city one great cause why BIZ
cycling is not so popular this year as
last is the fact that there is great
deal of dissension among the bicyclists
themselves. They can come to no agree
ment on the very important question
of bicycles on the sidewalks. And the
actions of some of the bicychsts on the
sidewalks are such as to bring the
whole wheel fraternity into disrepute.
This fact is recognized by those de-
voices of the wheel who have no de-
sire to make Doors of themselves nor
to make life burden to pedestrians.
The scorchers and defiers of the city
ordinance must be sat down upon, and
it can best be done by the conservative
wheelmen themselves taking the inftia-
tive.
If the bicyclists will heal the dissen-
sion in their own ranks and sit down
on the scorchers and ordinance viola
tors, bicycling will be as popular as
ever, and they viii have the good will
and best wishes of all who do not ride.
If this is not done, they will kill them
selves.

require first-rate financier to direct
the peration-such a man, for in
stance, as Alexander Hamilton or AL
bert Gallatin-and he ridicules the
idea of McKinley's being called upon
to preside over a financial situation
of such extraordinary perplexity. In
fact, he considers that the Republican
party in its search for a standard
bearer, "has reached a region of ex-
traordinary intellectual poverty and
moral weakness, a region toward
which it has for many years been
marching" In short, Mr.. Godkin be-
lieves that the election to the presi-
dency of Mr.. McKinley-who, in his
opinion, is without a single qualifica-
ton except love of high tariff-would
be nothing less than a national mis-
fortune.

ON a BALCONY.

She in the windows light,
He on the balcony low
They had met by chance that night,
Such old, old friends, you know:
A little of mutual praise
Then curious silence fell:
Beyond the conventional phrase,
Nothing to say or tell.
She was thirty or more,
Titled and rich and gay;
He was forty and four
And his hair was touched with gray.
She had welded at home.
For name and social advance:
He married a singer in Rome,
And had chosen to live in France.
She was a patron of art:
He had fame for his years.
Each had a grave in the heart,
That was not watered with tears.
The rasp of a cracking match,
To klndle dead cigar
A breath with a sudden catch
a cough that was strained and far.
Nothing the silence broke:
They parted with Bonded head
With thought that were best unspoke-
a word that were best unsaid.
