This allusion to his famous speech in
the Senate, when he used pitchfork
of rabid sarcasm in punching the BE
sotted tyrant," ELECTED deafening ap
plause from the audience. About the
time silence was restored some man
yelled: You're all right, Tillman-
And then Salvos of cheers ratified along
the rotunds from floor to roof.
The Senator only spoke a quarter OF
an hour, but it was evident that he
does dot care to be placed in the posi-
ton of demigod before whom the peo.
pie must bow and grovel. He is nctthe
sort of wise man who comes from the
East, and expects the people to tarry
upon his words as if he if a myste.
rious god. But the Senator wished ii
to be known that it was only natural
for him to tell the truth in the Sen
ate, and therefore he was not neces.
sarily a genius, but simply man
who put into expression the thoughts
of the common people.
At the close of the Senator's speech
there were loud calls fort. N. Patter-
son. Mr. Patterson, in a few remarks,
assured the audience that it was a
Tillman night, and that the people
could file by the platform aud the Sen
ator would shake hands with them.
Immediately there was rush to get
into line, and for ever an hour the peo-
pie passed by and grasped the hand OF
the great flee silver apostle, and pass

The line had been going by five
minutes when corpujent lady with
gray hair, and wearing gold-rimmed
Spectac!es, walked up and clasped the
Senator's hand with a firm grip, and
before be knew it she had pulled him
forward and mad planted a smacking
kiss on his checks. The osculatory in
cident was loudly applauded, while
the Senotor biushed and the lady fled

The manner in which the political
dyspeptics harp on Mr.. Jones failure
to float the refunding loan" is amusing.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Jones has not
attempted to float our national loan,
and it was not until he reached the
Islands that he was aware that he
would be given the option. When Mr..
Jones arrangements with the Govern
ment are completed he win go to work
to place the bonds in the hands of men
who appreciate the value OF Hawaiian
securities. When the deal is consum-
mated, as it will be in a comparatively
few weeks, the calamity hOwlers will
be obliged to seek some other subject
besides Government finances on which
to vent their spleen.

HILo's CONTINUED STORY.

The Hilo paper in it's last issue gives
another chapter Of its continued story
"Hilo the future metropolis and HO-
noIulu the country town." This shows
that our Hilo friends are following the
principle of hitch your wagon to star.
very good principle indeed. Since the
progress of the future metropolis of
Hawaii is so clearly assured, We see
no reason why this continued story of
the contemporary should be so thor
oughly stuffed with such general con-
domination of Honolulu and the unfor-
tunate citizens of the Island of Oahu.
Why should the friend on Hawaii pour
all the ilk of his disgruntled pen upon
this city of a few thousand inhabitants?
To be sure, Honolulu has the best
harbor in the Islands, but Honolulu
should not be blamed for this natural
contour of the Island of Oahu. By viz
tue of this natural advantage Honolulu
has become distributing center for the
Northern Pacific, and the people have
simply 60u6dNOTeu TO Keep pdC6 Will
the increased traffic that is coming to
the Island. Again, Oahu furnishes a
good portion of the tax money that is
used to assist Hilo in building a wharf
and making things comfortable gener-
ally for those on the big Island.
1t appears that Hilo is condemning
this city for a great deal that it is not
responsible for, and the natural course
of the argument will lead to a request
for Honolulu to fill up its harbor, burn
the wharves, shut up shop as much as
possible and move to Hilo. This we will
gladly do, of course, when Hilo has re-
paid its Honolulu debt. Meanwhile we
would suggest that for future chapters |
of the Tribune's continued story it will |
be more conducive to healthy growth |
and cordial cooperation in Hawaii nei
for the author to recognize that about |
all HiIo ever had has been the result
of the assistance from the brains and
capital of Honolulu.

CHILT's NEW GOVERNMENT.

The recent election of a President
in Chill was one of the few electoral
struggles in South America carried on
legally and peacefully. President Fred
erico Errazuriz was placed at the head
of the nation by practically unani-
NOUS vote of his countrymen. in con-
sequence of a coalition of opposing fac
tions, who saw that their chances for
success were very small. Thus the
Government now organized is supposed
to suit everybody, and an era of pro-
gress is promised. ChiIi's troubles are
centered principally in the condition
of the national finance. At present the
national debt is small, but the country
is ambitious and is seeking foreign
capital to carry out internal improve
ments and to build up a navy. The ma
tional credit is kept up TO a very good |
standard, but the national treasury has !
an unfortunate way of turning the |
budget surplus into deficits. This is in /
a large degree due to the fact that the
Republic depends upon one industry.
More than one-half of the revenue
comes from the nitrate trade Conse-
quently the market fluctuations of nj

In a recent interview with a repre-
sentative of this paper Prof Rochelle
expressed himself as irrevocabIy op-
posed TO the importation of plants
from Japan while the present method
of plant inspection obtained. This
matter of plant inspection is one that
deserves the careful attention of the
authorities. So many pests have been
brought to the country in the earth
that adheres to the roots of imported
plants, and the casual examination
made of the plant and earth as well is
so inadequate, that it would seem none
too severe to allow only seeds to be
brought in. The agricultural indus
tries should be protected with quite
as much care as the public health, and
the only way to secure complete pro-
lection is to exclude all plants or
earths liable to carry the larvae of in
furious insets.

FREE SILVER COINAGE 10 10 /,

The Philadelphia Ledger gives the
following explanation of what free sill
yer coinage at is to /" means:
1T means in practice that sixteen
ounces of silver should be held as worth
as much as one ounce of gold. One
ounce of gold, American coin standard
of fineness-that is 900 parts of pure
gold to 100 of alloy-win coin in gold
dollars $3.50. Sixteen ounces of silver.
American coin standard of fineness-
that is, 900 parts of pure silver TO 100 Of
alloy, at the rate of 4121a grains to the
dollar (the weight of the present stan
dard silver dolIar)-will coin $3.50 in
silver dollars. These sixteen ounces of
silver can be bought in the markets of
the world today for 1894. There would,
therefore, be profit of S8.66 on an in
vestment of 1894. being about 81 per
cent, if a holder of silver could take il
to the mint and coin it without
charge into silver dollars. The advo-
Gates of free coinage favor a law that
viii allow any holder of silver bullion
or, in fact, silver of any kind Gas the
latter can readily be melted into bars)
to have the right to take the same
to any mint of the United States and
convert it into Silver coin free of
charge. It is easy to see that if this
were done it would not be long, with
free coinage, before the country would
be flooded with silver coins, and the
very large profit to the owners OF silver
mines would quickly start to work the
mines at present idle, to the immense
advantage of the mine owner"
