Said That Princess KaiulanI May Ascend
the Hawaiian Throne.
HONOLULU, Aug. 22.-E. @. McFar-
land, a prominent Royalist, left for San
Francisco on the goth. It is rumored
he is on his way to England to confer
with Princess Kaiulani, who was heir
othe Hawaiian throne. The rumor is
contradicted by the Royalist paper,
which claims his errand is personal and
has no political significance. IN the
same issue the editor says: =,
"The natural outcome Of the present
situation is that President Dole will
gracefully retire, and that Princess
Kaiulani will be asked to Head new
regime, of which Dole's present cabinet
officers will be the leaders.
"The Royalists claim that they have
received information to the effect that
Kaiulani will be restored, while sup
porters Of the republic are under the
impression that President Cleveland has
empowered Minister Willis to negotiate
for an annexation treaty, or failing in
that to offer the present government
the protection Of the United States.
Either annexation or q protectorate is
acceptable to the white people here, and
Judging from appearances, any attempt
to restore the monarchy will be met
with resistance" N

Government Ownership Of Silver Mines.
Why is it that both the Populista and
the Democrats failed to put plank in
their platforms demanding that the
government own and control the silver
mines Of this country, so that the profit
which would be made from free coinage
would go to our government and thus
indirectly be o benefit to the whole
people? Why should this profit go to q
few individuals who own the silver
mines and who are already enormously
rich? Is not this building up one OF the
most dangerous trusts that the country
has ever seen?
Think of few men having under
their control all the silver Of this coun-
try and the governments compelled to
turn it into dollars as fast as they pro-
duoe it! Suppose that these silver men
combine to shut down work on their
mines when they want to produce Q
stringency in the money market, then
open them again when they. want to
make money abundant. Would not this
put the whole business Of the country at
their mercy?

senting certain number Of cats and
onions at ratio of 10 to l. This was q
true double standard system and is be-
lieved to have been the origin Of modern
paper currency. For time the cat
onion money circulated at par, but the
historian Faque Hur records that about
98S B. G. a serious difficulty arose.
New colonies had been established in
the region Of the upper Nile. and the
savage Nubians had been taught the
art Of agriculture. The rich, black soil
II the valley which they inhabited was
especially suited to the growth Of
onions, and the production Of those per.
fumed bulbs was soon enormously in.
creased. Meanwhile the cat crop had
only grown in the usual ratio, and the
result was that, with the demand for
sacred animals in the new colonies, at
least 80 onions would be given for one
cat. This brough the papyrus currency
into disfavor, and, the ruling pharaoh,
Ram Bunkshus III, issued royal order
that cats should be the sole standard Of
value, and that onions should be issued
only to the extent that they could be
kept at par with the 'caterwaulers, as
the unit Of value was termed.
This did not suit the onion growers,
who at once started an agitation for the
free and unlimited coinage of all onions
at the good old ratio Of their daddiea
After passing 8, 1874 resolutions de-
nouncing the horrible crime of 963 the
onionites marched in body to the pal
ace Of their Pharaoh and demanded that
the unjust law enacted at the instance
Of the catbugs should be repealed and
the bicatallic standard restored. Ram
Bunkshus listened to them patiently and
answered: "Great, no doubt, was the
wisdom of our ancestors. But am in
the wisdom business myself to some ex-
tent When the ratio Of l8 to was
adopted, that was the true ratio Of the
cats and onions. Now, owing to great
increase in the quantity Of onions, the
ratio is so to l. All powerful as I am, I
cannot make onions worth more than
their market value. The present stand

ties, your leaders shall feed the sacred
crocodiles. The rest Of you will return
to your farms and hustle I have re-
