THE Brown university boys would

vested has been due solely to the fact that
the corporation is assured OF State protec-
tion from the possible barrassing of roll.
tics and political blackmail. Under iik 0
protection, the Narragansett Electric
Light Company and tho Providence Gas
Company have been able to rapidly in
crease their service and reduce their
rates the former being made apparently,
regardless of dividends, the latter being
secured to the public just so soon as
under the franchise, a fair business profit
accrues to the stockholders. In q similar
wey the trolley corporation is serving
the public, meeting its demands by the
investment of capital and anticipating in
the future to secure a fair business profit
from such investment.
1t 40 happens that there are influences
in this town jealous OF the trolley cor
poration, eager to destroy the value of it's
property. These influences consider the
public interests no more than they do
the business interests of tho corporation,
nor, yet, those OF the municipality, nor
yet again sthe honor Of the State. IL so
happens, that the Democratic machine is
able to ally itself with these influences
for its own political success though
there are plenty of Democrats that have
never sanctioned the political tactics thus
being brought TO bear. And that
points the whole story of all this
so called "demand'' for universal trans.
fers. The attempt is made to manipulate
the interests OF the peop for the pur'
poses OF Democratic po itics and anti
trolley jealousy. II is a wicked and ridicu-
lous scheme which threatens alike the
public interests and the interests of a
semi-public corporation that Is pledged
to serve the public and is doing it. The
majority of this City Council committee
do not wspt transfers, nor do they care
a rap for the interests of the people. But
they do want TO keep up agitation, to
maintain guerilla warfare upon the troll
ley corporation, to spread the spirit oi
anarchy among the people in the interests
| OF the Democratic political machine. And
emboldened by partial success of their
scheme last fall, they have now gone to
the General Assembly with threats OF Its
destruction If that body stands in its way,
Just as they would destroy every honor
able citizen and every public and muuni-
cipal interest that stood in their path.

The ladies of the Presbyterian church
set their heads together recently and
the result was that that church has
been wonderfully improved. The plat
form in the rear of the church has been
torn out, and in its place appears a
neat pulpit and a place for the choir,
with an amen corner along each side.
The seats have been rearranged in the
form of half circle. The walls have
been papered and reprinted. In fact,
it is one of the prettiest, if not prettiest,
places of worship in the state. A coat
of paint on the outside is all that is
needed to finish well begun work.

will be played in Preston next Satur-

in Idaho and in an unexpected quarter,

The Bicycle and Disease.

If bicycling is an excellent pre-
ventive of disease and a promoter
of good health, it is of no less
value as a remedy for certain
pathological conditions. 1t is not
compatible with the limits and
nature of a magazine article in
tended for general readers to enter
into details about the treatment of
diseases. L shalt therefore, limit
myself, says DIR. Garrigues in the
Forum, to few remarks. BY its
effect on respiration and digestion,
bicycling becomes potent remedy
for anaemia, that condition of the
blood which consists in diminu-
ton of the red blood corpuscles
and shows itself in pallor of the
skin and the mucous membranes.
Numerous nervous troubles are
relieved or cured by this exercise;
such as neurasthenia or nervous
prostration-a condition usually
due to overwork or worry, and in
which the normal strength is lost
and the slightest exertion causes
fatigue and physical and mental
exhaustion. The same holds good
in regard to headache, insomnia
and neuralgia. Among the ner-
vous affections benefited by BIZ
cycle riding may also be included
that troublesome disease, asthma,
a cramp. like contraction of the
muscles of the bronchial
tubes which causes a pain
full sensation of choking. In
the beginning of phthisis, where
parts of the lung tissue become
condensed and less pervious, mo.
derate bicycle riding is helpful.
Many diseases of the intestinal
canal-such as dyspepsia, con.
stipation and hemorrhoids- yield
to the effects of wheeling. A case
has recently come to the writer's
knowledge in which the stiffness
remaining after a fracture of the
leg was successfully treated by
riding a bicycle.
But if bicycling is valuable
resource in certain diseased con-
ditions, there are numerous others
in which it is harmful or should
only be INDUCED in very cautious.
| ly. Most acute diseases demand
rest, and bid the bicyclist abstain
from his favorite pursuit, and
many chronic diseases are made
worse by riding. Since wheeling
considerably increases the rate OF
respiratory movements it would
be folly for a person with adj
vanced pulmonary consumption to
attempt to ride. The heart being
whipped numerically to work in
driving the machine, wheeling
should be strictly forbidden in
serious diseases of this organ; and
persons affected with minor car.
diac troubles ought at least never
to race or otherwise to expose the
heart to fatigue which it is moi
prepared to stand.

ANNEXATION.

President Dole's views on the
annexation question, as reported
by Miss Kate Field, an include OPT
Mon that was held from the first
by, among others, some who took
exceptions on broad principles to
the genesis of this Republic,
that is, where he suggests that
the political union of Hawaii with
the United States should be effect
ed through scheme devised ex-
pressly for the purpose. Lit the
United States is going to acquire
territory beyond the bounds OF
the continent, as was said long
ago when nothing was needed that
did not emanate from the party
that took over the government III
1893. that nation should formu-
late a distinctive colonial policy.
1t is cartain that Hawaii under the
existing constitutional limitations
of the United States cannot be adj
mitted at once, or for a great
while, as full-fedged State with
all its rights and privileges. Cuba
itself could hardly be admitted
into the full fraternity of American
statehood, without importing con-
ditions of no little difficulty and en-
barrassment into the affairs of the
Union. Should the United States
make an emphatic declaration OF
the Monroe doctrine, as definite
piece of permanent national po-
Icy, the logical result would be
to greatly increase the responsible
lities of the nation with respect to
the countries of Central and South
America. She would become the
virtual protector of host of petty
republics, whose past record shows
frequent disregard of interna-
tional amenities toward foreign
ers. In this role the United
States would almost GER
tainly be getting into hot water,
from time to time, and it would
be incumbent upon her to exer-
else sort of police supervision
over those countries. 1t is not
difficult to imagine the possibility
of circumstances arising, wherein
the United States might find it
necessary to put an end to anar-
chy in the territory of one of her
wards, and give it a government in
harmony with the international
code and civilization. This is
where her colonial scheme, now
suggested as a solution of the Ha.
waiian problem, would come in and
prove its value. Americans are
colonizers like their ancestors and
cousins, and the time-worn doc,
trine against outside territorial
acquisition already >reral times
only honored in - breach - will
one day have to give way before
the conditions that the expansion
of her foreign commerce and hel
new development as a naval power
are fast creating for the United
States.

ON THE
PRESIDENT OF VENEZU-
Ella AND OTHER
INTERESTING
MATTERS.

President Crespo of Venez-
uela rs a tall, heavy man, with
a countenance revealing force
and determination. He is very
abStemious in MS habit and
generally goes to bed at 8
o'clock in the evening. He is
in the habit of Summoning his
Ministers to him at sunrise.
He is fond of cattle-ranching,
and owns a large number Of
acres not far from the Venezu-
elan capital. He is fine eques-
trian and has an unlimited
amount of backbone. He also
knows a good thing when a
friend puts him on to it. If he
lived in Honolulu he would be
one of the first to call at the
store of the Hawaiian Hard
ware Company and examine
some of that fine cutlery just
received by the last Australia.
Beyond question we have now
displayed on our shelves and
in our windows and showcases
the finest lot of cutlery ever
brought to these Islands.
One of those fine carving
sets with ivory or buckhorn
handles in handsome plush
cases would be just the thing
to take the fancy of President
Crespo or his great and good
friend Grover Cleveland. We
have also smaller sets of cary
ers, designed for game and
tete-a-tete dinners.
In the matter of Knives we
have a new stock of everything
in the line, comprising butter,
kitchen, skinning, dessert, table,
putty medium, hunting and
pocket knives in an almost be-
wildering variety.
Those little pearl-handled
butter knives are dandieS and
you will want one as soon as
you see them.
Another useful little article
is pocket nail-cleaner and
file, which is a novelty and
quite cheap.
We are entirely out of bicy-
cles, having closed out our en-
tire stock last week. We ex-
pect a big lot of the 1896
model of the Tribune and Mon
arch wheels by the next steam
er and shall be pleased to take
your order in advance.
We have also on hand a
fresh supply of Fresh coffee
pots, which sell like hot cakes.

Thus far the evidence does not
support the theory that Jameson's

a scheme for adding the Trans

rather seems to have been a move

in the country to secure political
rights denied to the great bulk of
the taxpayers. Getting informed
of what was in the wind, President
Kruger shrewdly granted the de-

thus assured in the capital went
out and settled accounts summar-
lily with the rash invaders band.
