CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
1T looks LIKE FRAUD.

II becomes more and more apparent
daily that what argument failed to do
fraud accomplished on November 3.
The growth of the Republican vote in
Ohio and other states was so out of
proportion to the growth Of population
that it can be accounted for on no other
theory than that it was padded What
is true of Ohio is also true of many
other states, as the following compar-
isons show:
Cleveland carried California in 1892
by lat and Bryan received $4,000 more
votes than Cleveland received, and yet
Mckinley carried California.
Cleveland carried Illinois in 1892 by
26, 993 and Bryan received 33,479 more
votes than Cleveland receiyed-yet
Mckinley carried Illinois.
Cleveland carried Indiana in 1892 by
1926 and Bryan received $4,000 more
votes than Cleveland receiyed-yet
Mckinley carried Indiana.
Harrison carried Iowa in 1892 by %,
729 and Bryan received 4,541 more
votes than Harrison received-yet Nc
Kinley carried Iowa.
Cleveland carried Kentucky in 1892
by 40,020 and Bryan received 4233f
more votes than Cleveland received
yet Mckinley carried Kentucky.
Harrison carried Michigan in 1892 by
20.412 and Bryan received 1000 more

carried Oregon.
These figures indicate, if they ar,
honest, an increase in the population
of Ohio of more than half a milIiol
in four years, and an increase n-Illi
nois of nearly a million.
But they are not honest, and they
/ therefore, indicate a gigantic system
of frauds extending from the ALLIE

Some time afterwards his body was

sharkey's Trainer.

Mr.. Naylor, the athletic trainer
Of Honolulu, has the credit of
bringing Sharkey, who is to face
Corbett for four rounds, into the
pugilistic arena. Sharkey was a
sailor on the L. S. S. Philadel-
phia at this port, and when taken
IN hand by Naylor his muscles
were in rocky condition. The
trainer soon had him in trim,
however, for knocking down all
corners here, and sent him to San
Francisco, where he got his dis
charge from the navy, fit to
tackle high game in the ring.
Naylor is naturally one of the
most impatient men in Honolulu
to hear the result of his promis-
ing big pupils essay with the
champion bruiser-and blower.

The Toledo Ripper bill is dead, for
the present, at least. There seems to
be no doubt in the minds of all who are
familiar with Toledo municipal affairs
that the city needs change of some
kind in It's management, but it was
thought by many that the bill as intro
duced was too arbitrary and gave too
much power to one person. 1t may be,
however, that the bill, with some mod
ifications, or, perhaps an entirely diff
ferent measure, may be introduced
later, which will give the city board
OF control that will better the condition
OF munci ;ipal government.

Paul d'Humy, French naval en-
ginear living in Liverpool, has sue
ceeded in converting petroleum and
other oils into a hard, homogeneous
mass, suitable for use as fuel on the
surface and give an intense heat. They
can be made in any size or shape, and
cannot evaporate or cause an explo-
sion. They require very little draught
and make not more than from 2 to 8
per cent of ashes. A ton of this fuel,
M. d'Humy says, represents at least
thirty tons Of coal, and the cost is not
more than from So to $40 per ton.
