Japan's new cabinet has been styled
the bicycle cabinet" on account of the
great predominance of Satsuma men.
In previous years the Satsuma and
Choshu have been equally divided, but
now the personnel is such that the
Satsuma are represented by the big
wheel in front and Count Okuma the
only outsider, by the little wheel be-
hind. 1t is to be hoped that the com
parison will not be carried still further,
until the statesmen are accused of
having wheels.

Census returns show that those who
predicted a $4,000 increase over former
years did not strike very wide of the
mark. The principal interest will be
centered in the figures setting forth
the particular race that has done the
most to bring about this increase. The
part which the Asiatic plays will be
watched closely, and those who claim
that the stream of Orientals out of the
country is as large as the inflowing
current will have an opportunity to
prove their statements.

publicans viii stand fair chance to
lose the ground they have gained. How,
ever, as Sewall has contributed $4,000
to the campaign fund he need rot fear
being displaced.
Bryan's assertion that he is to be
elected brings to mind the remark
passed by President Cleveland when
the returns from the 1883 election were
coming in. AS the telegraph instru-
ment licked off the news OF Harrison's
success, Mr.. Cleveland said, 1T is i'm
possible, I am man of destiny" When
Bryan reads his Sefeat he can have the
consolation that he is not the only
man of destiny who has been dumped
by the roadside.

GET down TO Bus1N Ess.

A canvass of the business men of
the city and members of the Chamber
of Commerce shows an almost unani-
nous expression in favor of the for
nation of Bureau of Information as
mapped out in a recent issue of the
! Advertiser. One gentleman suggests
that to carry out such plan will re-
Quire a radical change in the organ
ization of the Chamber of Commerce,
which now has but thirty members.
When the representative association of
business interests in city as large as
Honolulu can only boast of thirty
members, it seems reasonable to be-
lieve that radical change is neces-
sary.
There is not man in Honolulu who
will lift up his voice against the in
formation bureau; but nine out of
every ten, while admitting the neces-
sity, will point to the failures of the
past For the most part, however, for
mer attempts have been carried on by
private parties; business firms have
made their contributions and paid no
attention to the method of disburse-
ment. Finally they have lost interest,
then pocketbooks have been closed and
the bureau has passed into history
of tho 1,oOvapoan+ opoa bo cot an foo+
as a department of the Chamber of
Commerce and every business firm in
town will have a lively interest and
will see to it that the Bureau is con-
Quoted on business principles. Homo
lulu has passed through the expert
ence of almost every new town in the
Western States. Divers and sundry
schemes for advertising and furnishing
information have been started by pri-
vate individuals, most of them good,
honest men, too, but practically moth
ing has been accomplished until the
business men have taken the matter up
in the Board of Trade and gone about
the work in businesslike manner.
Honolulu has passed through the stage
of scheming, and now it has reached
the point where the merchants ought
to get down to business principles and
assume direct supervision OF a depart
ure in national enterprise which calls
for prompt and decisive attention.

Divine Healer Schrader, who created
such furore in Wisconsin some time
ago, has arrived in San Francisco.
The fact that this man is allowed to
continue his fake, and that crowds
continue to go to him, furnish exam
pies of the gullibility of the American
public. A divine healer with a man
ager to look after him is indeed a
typical Americanism. The sale of
Schrader's photographs is said to be
something enormous, but so far as
known the money received all remains
in the pockets of the divine healer and
his manager.

The foundations of the new fire sta
ton have been left long enough to be-
come thoroughly seasoned, and the
people of the city ought to know by
this time what good foundations look
like. All the benefits of delay having
been fully realized we would suggest
that the work of putting something
besides boards over the preliminary
masonry be begun in the near future.

sEwALL.s BIG CHECK.
Candidate for VIce-President Contri
buteS 100000.

J. OutPs S2O,OOO.
/ NEW YORK. Oct. arthur Sewall
today contributed $4,000 to the cam
paign fund The check was given to
William st. John, treasurer of the Ma
tional Democratic Campaign Commit
tee, and while it does not represent all
Mr.. Sewall has given, it is one of the
biggest single sums contributed to the
free silver cause so far.
| Mr.. Sewall has been in the city since
| Monday. He consulted Mr. Bryan, and
talked with Senator Jones about the
natioal situation, and also spoke with
Senator German about the general out
look. Mr.. Sewall will not resign. He
will make the fight, win or lose.
On Wednesday Mr. Sewall and Mr..
German had long talk with John G.
Sheehan, and the Tammany leader told
them he thought New York city would
give Bryan and Sewall at least 10000
majority. Mr. Sheehan hopes these fig
ures can be raised to $4,000. He as
sured them that the State could be
carried by the free silver Democrats.
On Thursday morning State Chairman
Danforth and National Treasurer St.

that from reports received from the
western counties as to Republican de-
fections, they saw great hopes for Bry-
an in this State.
The afternoon of that day Mr.. Sew
all and Mr.. German spent three hours
with Hugh Mclaughlin in Brooklyn.
The veteran leader gave little hope of
the Democracy carrying Kings county
He did think that with proper cam
paign methods there was hope of car
rying the State.
Today Mr.. SewalPs check for $4,000
was turned over to Mr.. st. John. There
were no conditions as to where it was
to be used.
Mr.. German is much encouraged over
the situation by news he has received
since he came here. He will remain
several days and be practically in
charge of the Eastern campaign from
now on.

The custom by which wealthy and
public spirited citizens add to their
good works by presenting cities and
towns with roads and parks is certain
ly one which should be copied in this
country. We are quite positive it
would find favor with the common
people and we know of few better
ways in which the men with well filled
pocket books can hand their names
down to posterity. Government roads
have become such a common matter
that the people are not supposed to
appreciate them fully, but consider for
an instant the good that would be
accomplished through a monied man
setting apart a portion of his income
for the construction of drive-ways,
which might open up new lands and
which surely would be a source of
healthy qualification to the people pre-
viously limited to the confines of the
city.

KILLED IN A RUNAWAY.
A Five Year Old Child Meets Sudden
Death.

A five year old child of Mrs. Beck,
of Medo, was killed Tuesday after
noon, having his neck broken by
runaway team. The little fellow had
been in the field with his older
brother, who was dragging corn. The
older brother left the team for short
time to get something to take TO the
house, as it was getting time, and the
little fellow took hold of the lines and
started the team, but in some way got
caught in the lines and was dragged
about eighty rods. He was dead or
died shortly after being picked up.
D. Bishop, was sent for, but, of
course, could no nothing. This is a
child of David Beck, who was killed

year ago, while driving home from

CASE OF DROWNING.
Details of the Accident at Cable
Mills,

Coroner Paddock concluded not to
: hold an inquest over the remains of
Herman L. Johnson, the finding of
VIII ch in the Blue Earth river near
Gable Mills was recorded in Tues
days FREE PRESS. Johnson, his wife
and child, located a mile above the
mill three months ago, land he has been
fishing for living, and is said to
have been using a seine in violation
of the law. Late Friday afternoon he
took the seine across the river and
made couple of draws, and then hid
it, as he expected his wife to go
across with him Saturday morning
and help him.
The river is high, and the ford a
mile away. AS his clothing was al
ready wet, it is believed that he con-
Guided to swim the river above the
dam rather that to go around. At
the point where the foot prints show
that he approached the water and
stepped in, the river is ten rods across
and seven to ten feet deep. The cur
rent is not swift, and Johnson could
swim, but for some cause which will
never be known he was drowned in
crossing. The drowning appears to
have been wholly accidental, and
there is nothing to lead one to be-
lieve that the man intended to COM
nit suicide.
The body was not found until ii 80
o'clock yesterday forenoon, and had
been forced up on the dam by the &C
tion of the water
