Colonel Waring, the New York com
missioner Of street cleaning, having
succeeded in bringing the streets Of
New York City 10 an average degree
Of cleanliness, has inaugurated a plan
whereby the little ones" are given a
chance. ChiIdren's street cleaning
leagues have been formed in order TO
secure the interest and cooperation of
the children in keeping the streets free
from debris Members of the leagues
are pledged 10 refrain from throwing
paper, fruit skins, etc, in the streets
and 70 influence their pIaymates TO the
same end. The leagues hold weekly
meetings, at which reports are render
ed upon the condition OF the various
districts represented, and once each
month Colonel Waring meets the united
leagues at a public meeting. In this
way the children are taught TO take an
active interest in matters of public i'm
pOrtance, and educated in a practical
manner TO a sentiment Of civic pride
and usefulness. Colonel Waring has
certainly hit upon good scheme for
awakening the future citizens of his
country to a sense OF their responsi5
bility as individuals for the conditions
that surround them. Boys and girls
who will see to it that streets are clean:
ed may be relied upon to throw them
influence for clean politics when grown
to manhood and womanhood.

EXPERIMENT BETTER THAN
APATHY.

The discussion Of the Act TO Mitigate
held before the House Committee Fri
day afternoon, brought out little that
was new in connection with the social
evil" of this country. The old argu-
ments Of the moral influence and the
sanitary necessity were brought up.
Each is unanswerable in it's way, and
yet, when it comes to the point Of de-
Gliding what to DO about it, the same
collision and consequent deadlock oc-
ours. The moral advocate recognizes
the force of the sanitary arguments,
and vice versa, There the matter stands
and nothing is done.
But this state of affairs should not
exist from year TO year, as it has in the
past To stand still in this age is sim
ply one form of retrogression. The
time has come when the people of the
country, and particularly Honolulu
have reached the decision that some
thing should be done, though it may be
in the nature of an experiment Ad-
hitting that prostitution under sort Of
semi-Iicense has been a necessary evil,
the country is now faced with a new
condition-an alarming and unusual in
crease. Putting aside all questions of
right or wrong, in the past, the Act to
Mitigate has proven Intellectual in keep
ing the evil within bounds. We are
facing a new situation as a result of a
large inf1uex of men and women from
the Orient who are absolutely devoid of
any thought of the moral phase of their
devilish trade The aboriginal race has
more delicacy in the matter than the
unfortunate Japanese women of the
lower classes that are brought to our
shores.
Recognizing the fact that the law
tends to decrease disease, is this coun-
try in a position TO harbor-as it is
doing uoday-a class of men living on
the earnings of unchaste women? We
are facing a new condition which is
troubling the Board of Health and other
advocates of the sanitary side of the
problem.
If we must pander to an evil, let us at
least keep it within bounds, and at
least prevent it's being flashed in the
faces of people upon the public thor
oughfares. If the efficacy of the law as
a sanitary measure must be taken into
account then let those who are reached
by the law be huddfed together in some
section of the city, so that the fire.
quenters of the place will be obliged to
face the additional danger OF social
condemnation. The country will merit
more respect by facing the matter
squarely than by getting around it by
a law that bears the name of being I'M
constitutional and Intellectual.

If this season IS not good

wears white clothes its good
for the people in other lines.
And if Il was pleasant
weather all the time, no rain,
no cool winds, nothing but
dust, the dealer in some lines
would have to close up
shop.
This is wire mat weather:
the sOrpthat makes the man
who handles reliable steel
wire mats rejoice. Ours is
the mat and we are rejoicing.
First: because we were for
tunate in securing the best
steel mat manufactured, and
secondly: because it is just
the sort Of weather that
makes a demand for the
goods.
This mat of ours will not
turn up on the edges and be-
come unsightly; it may be
on edge, folded up like
a paper basket, when the
veranda is being swept and
it will never wear out. Other
makes of mats will; they
have been tried here and
found wanting in many res
poets. The kind we have
will always hold their shape.
Price less than the COM

STONES LETTER.

Gov. Stone has been sending out a
political circular letter.
My purpose in sending out this
communication, says the governor, in
beginning his circular letter, sis to
promote the effort / am making in
conjunction with others to organize
those democrats in Missouri who favor
a resolution in our national platform
declaring for the immediate free coin
age of silver into standard dollars at
the ratio of 10 to l, and the nomination
of candidates for president and vice
president who openly favor that policy
The state convention to select delegates
to the national convention will meet at
Sedalia ON April 18th next. The
county conventions to appoint delegates
to the Sedalia convention will meet at
different dates during the latter part
of March and the first days of April
The dates for these county conventions
will be fixed for each county by its own
committees. My hope and purpose is
to arouse the democrats-the people-to
the necessity of going actively to work
to secure the selection of county dele
gates to the Sedalia convention who are
well known and earnest advocates of
free silver coinage, and who can be
implicitly trusted to represent their
constituencies with fidelity. ! believe
that large majority of the democrats
of this state favor the free coinage of
both gold and silver this majority,
however, cannot have its way, but will
be overridden, if the people are
inactive, or if they are careless or cow
ardly in the selection of the delegates.
| write, therefore, to urge you, for
your interest and for the good of your
party and country, to take hold of the
work organizing our party friends in
your county, and particularly in your
own precinct, with the view of sending
free coinage men to your county con-
vention, and through that convention
to send the strongest free coinage dem
ocrats of your county to Sedalia.

to Chicago should represent the state
as a whole and should vote as unit.

Mrs. Stanford Wins the Suits.

The supreme court decided the Stan
ford case in favor of Mrs. Stanford.
1t involved the individual liability of
stockholders in the Central Pacific
Railroad Company for the debt due the
United States on the bonds issued in
aid of the Central Pacific under the
California constitution.
Mr.. Stanford held IA 3s7 shares of
the stock and it was claimed that the
government was entitled to collect SIS, .
231 600 from the Stanford estate This
contention was resisted Mrs. Stanford
on the ground that the California con
stitution was not self ruling and also
on the plea that it was the intention
of congress in granting aid to the Cen
tral Pacific Company to put on a foot
ing different from the footing on which
other government aided roads were
placed.
The case was brought originally in
the circuit court of the California dis
trict, where the decision was favorable
to Mrs. Stanford, and was appealed to
the circuit court of appeals for the
Ninth district, where the decision was
also against the government. The gov
ernment then appealed to the supreme
court.
The suit has attracted great atten-
tion, because of the effect the decision
will have upon the other Central Pacific
stockholders and also because the for.
tunes of the Stanford University will
be determined largely by the decision

Bills Affecting Missourians.

The house committee on invalid pen
sions brought in a number of reports of
interest in the west. One of these
increased from S25 to $50 month the
pension granted to the widow of Col
onel David r. Clendennin. Colonel
Clendennin was well known in the
west, where after the war he was
major Of the Eighth cavalry.
Representative Crowther, of Mis-
souri,, has made report from the same
committee giving pension of Sl2
month to Samuel Goldwater. The
claimant served but short time in
the Missouri militia, and, after his
discharge, suffered from an affection of
the eyes, which was the result OF sun

could not be proven that the blindness
was occasioned by sunstroke and his

bureau
Mr.. Crowther also made report
granting pension of S12 month to
Mary Newman, the orphan child of
Thomas g. Newman, private in the
Missouri state cavalry, who received
pension of IS month up to his death.
This claim seems to be based wholly

Changes In University Fees.

The executive committee of the board
of curators of the State University, in
session in Columbia, Friday, made
several important orders in addition to
the transaction of the routine business.
Commencing with the next session,
the annual charges in the college of
agriculture and mechanical arts will
be $40. instead of $40, as hitherto The
students in these departments will then
be ON the same footing as the academic
students in this respect.
The standard for admission into both
the law and medical schools is to be
raised. In the law department this
will be gradual, beginning with each
of the sessions of 1896 and the three
succeeding years.
The changes in the medical college
are in accordance with the recommen-
dations of the State Board of Health.
Ultimately it is designed to bring the
standard Of admission into either of
these departments up to that required
for the academic course.
