Another instance Of deplorabl

Another instance OF deplorable
and almost criminal waste of
money in connection with the
Legislative printing came to light
this morning in the Senate. Five
hundred dollars additional was
asked and voted for printing 500
extra copies of the report of the
Board of Education. Under the
law this report is supposed to be
ready in printed shape at the
opening of the Legislature. 1t
did not make its appearance until
three or four weeks ago and the
Senate Printing Committee
ordered it printed. Not
knowing anything of the
needs Of the Board of Education
only 100 copies were printed, of
which the Board received ten.
The bills for printing and trans
lating this report came to 5000
or six dollars copy. Now comes
the Board Of Education with a re
QUESTION for 500 extra copies,
which according to Minister
Cooper's statement in the Senate
this morning are actually neces.
sary and must be had at further
expense of $500. The printing of
the Senate edition of this report
would have been unnecessary had
the Board of Education attended
to its business and had its reports
ready at the beginning of the ses-
sion. Truly it is high time the
Board of Education was put under
departmental supervision.

also utilized for pumping
water for the animals. One
man attends to the whole
business where, before the ad-
vent of the giant "Ventosus,"
the labor of several men was
required.
We have contracted with
the trustees of the Queens
Hospital to remove steel mill
(of another make long ago
erected at the Institution,
taking it away as "SlopS" and
substituting it with an Aer-

given satisfaction, and the
trustees are acting on the
splendid reputation gained
by the Aermotor. Less wind

luton.

Again the cry is heard, as in
the eighties whenever a loan was
mooted, of the terrible danger of
the country's getting into the
hands of British bond holders.
The warning example of Egypt
has not yet been invoked this time,
but it will likely be before forty
eight hours have elapsed. Well,
it seems on the whole that it has
been rather a good thing for
Egypt that British bond. holders
should have got cinch on the
country. But to have British
holders of Hawaiian bonds bring
ing about any interference of
Great Britain with the affairs of
this country, Hawaii would need
to become misgoverned and threat
ened with anarchy and totally
deserted by her powerful ally,

Timely Topics

Sugar planters know more
ways of getting rich than
holding down their taxes. AS
was stated to the writer by an
intelligent observer the other
day: 1T takes as much care
and vigilance to run a planta-
ton and mill as to run an
ocean steamship. Every little
detail, every screwhead and
bolt, has to be inspected to
see that nothing goes wrong"
In the matter of saving waste
and expenses, which is half the
battle for profits, the planters
of these ISLANDS have made an
enviable record.

Nothing could be more falla-
cious than the plea for keeping
the interest on the national debt
at home, which has been heard
against refunding with the aid of
foreign capital. There is every
probability that the interest
money payable under refunding
to domestic capitalists would to a
large extent be sent out Of the
country for conserving Puget
Sound and Southern California
"boom" properties that are like
white elephants on Hawaiian
hands. Every dollar that is saved
to the nation is a dollar kept in
the country no matter through
what channel it rolls. If Hawaii
an capital can underbid foreign
capital in refunding the national
debt, SO much the better and let the
bidders speak quick or hold their
peace forever.

Senator McCandless fought
fiercely and prevailed against the
Government refunding scheme,
holding that the saving in
interest was not worth hast
ening the measure to obtain.
Yet the same Senator becomes
frantic in urging the income tax,
although that is not likely to
realize as much as refunding
would save. Besides, lettering
of the condition of the treasury by
retrenchment, such as makes the
country stronger instead of weak
er to carry out permanent internal
improvements, ought to have pre-
cedence in popular choice over
any measure of direct taxation.

One of the arguments that has
been used against rcfunding is
that, in the interest of the cause
of annexation, the most ample
time ought to be afforded for
United States capitalists TO
take up our national debt
at reduced interest. Nobody
who has talked this way, however,
has heard of United States capital
going about begging for securities
bearing four to five per cent. in
terest. There are much more
profitable investments for it at
home, where it will be long time
yet, with still vast undeveloped
resources, before capital will cease
flowing in instead of out.

A picture OF the house in which Presi-
dent Cleveland will live after his retire.
ment from public life is here presented.
1t is picturesque old mansion in
pretty part of Princeton, N. ]. Mr.,
Cleveland will not be dean of the Prince
ton University law college. This story,
which was given currency shortly after
the purchase Of the property, has been au-
thoritatively denied by President Patton.
According to the university authorities,
Mr.. Cleveland's residence in Princeton
will have no university significance. The
fact is that the President has been de-
sirous of retiring to some quiet place. and
both he and Mrs. Cleveland are very fond
of the college town and it's atmosphere.
The house is not one which any one would
suppose would be occupied by a man Of
Mr.. Cleveland's wealth. 1t is a large.
roomy structure, with an appearance If
age that it does not deserve. 1t is built

REPORT ON PENSION AFFAIRS.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Reviews the Work.
The report of Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Reynolds for the present year
shows the policy pursued in the admins
tration of pension affairs. The Assistant
Secretary says: 1.-THE liberal and gen
erous spirit which prompted the enact
ment of the pension laws has been the
guide of the department in their construc-
ton. Former adjudications have not
been disturbed, save when fraud, error in
law or mistake was apparent"
Figures are cited to show the significant
reduction of pending cases and to dem
onstrate that, for the first time in eight
years, the work of the Office during the
last year was devoted to considering cur.
rent appeals. The action of the Commits
sioner of Pensions was reversed in 2,O66
of the cases ruled.
Suggestion is again made as to the
ACCESSIBILITY Of such legislation as will
lodge in the Federal Courts the right of
any one, on behalf of the Government,
to ask better protection to the pension
fund of those laboring under legal disa-
bilities.
1t is suggested that justice demands the
universal application of the common-l law
rule in proof of marriage. State laws
govern. and lead to denial of title in
cases which are equally meritorious. It
IS claimed pensionable rights of minor
children, whose claims come under the act
of June p, 1880. should be defined with
more certainty where the soldier dies
leaving no widow surviving.
The act of Aug. 5, 1892, relates to pen
sionable title of those women who served
as nurses during the war of the rebel
lion. Title is confined to those who
served in regimental, post, camp or gen.
eral hospital. The refusal Of the War
Department to recognize those as prop
erly employed who served in the first
three classes mentioned tends to defeat
their title and renders this portion of the
act nugatory. Attention is invited to this
in order that proper legislation may be
enacted to relieve any deserving claim
ants OF an unjust and unintentional dis
elimination.

Hale and Hearty

Is the condition in which every human
being was undoubtedly intended to be, and
whenever this is not the case there must be
something wrong. Probably in q majority
Of cases the trouble is in the blood, which
has become impoverished or impure by
some other cause. In case there is scrofula
in the blood there will frequently be erup-
lions of the skin, though sometimes the
disease assumes different form. In fact,
very large proportion of diseases arc
caused by this inherited faint. That the
cause is in the blood is proved by the
fact that scrofula, salt rheum, rheuma-
ism, catarrh, and other like diseases
IRE most readily cured by purifying
he blood. No medicine has such a
ecord of cures as Hoods Sarsapa-
lila, and yet Hoods Sarsaparilla is always
advertised as blood purifier. The way to
keep hale and hearty is to keep the blood
pure, and if it is not in a condition of purity

AN be used than this same great blood
