House of Representatives.

The usual preliminaries were gone
through with, papers were rustled, old
and new fans were taken from their
resting places on account of the heat,
and the House got down to business af-
ter moment Of quiet thought
Rep. McBryde presented the follow
ing report of the Committee on Ac-
counts, as follows:
Your Committee on Accounts, to
whom was referred the matter relative
to the payment by the House, under the
head of Legislative Expenses of bills
incurred in the printing and binding
OF the reports made by the several de-
partments of the Government, to the
House, for such printing and binding
and duly found in order, shall be or
dered paid for out of funds appropria-
ted for the expenses of the Legisla-
ture." Report adopted.
Rep. Kaeo presented the following
petition signed by 327 Chinese resi-
dents and taxpayers of Hawaii, as fol-
lows:
''First-That there are about 5000
Chinese on the island of Oahu and
about 10000 on the other islands.
'Second-That the Chinese have in
troduced into these islands the cultiva-
ton of rice which is a very profitable
industry in that it has increased the
value of land heretofore wild and un-
cultivated, and is also profitable TO the
producer and owner of land.
''Third-That your petitioners claim
and contend that the Chinese are an
industrious, law-abiding and hard
working people, and form a desirable
and profitable portion OF the population
of the Republic.
Fourth-That your petitioners have
reason to feel grateful to the Govern
ment of this Republic for the kindness
and consideration shown towards the
Chinese, and desire to thank them
for the same.
"Fifth-That the Chinese portion of
the population in conjunction with the
United Chinese Benevolent Society,""
are desirous of erecting a hospital for
the care of the sick and also in connec-
tion Herewith home for the aged, in
firm and helpless Chinese.
''Sixth-That your petitioners are
willing to erect under Government su-
pervision, at their own cost, suitable
buildings for the purpose aforesaid, and
to maintain and conduct them in such
as the Government inspector or
Board of Health shall decide if a suita-
BILE piece of Government land is granted
to the trustees of the United Chinese
Society in or near Honolulu for such
purpose.
Your petitioners therefore pray that
the Executive or some Honorable mem
Der thereof will introduce a bill for the
purpose set out in this petition, and
that the same may pass and become
law"
Report referred to the Committee on
Public Lands.

The Latest Fake.

Our Nevada gold friends propose to
try "a new trick. at is called 1.-The
home rule fake The refusal OF their
friends in Congress to pass "A free
coinage bill and their declaration that
they will not pass a tariff bill with n
free silver attachment has left the
Nevada contingent stalled in the mirc.
Like the young fellow who vent
counting aud asked the girl IL h
wanted to buy II shirt collar, they must
say something just to keep talking
and that something just now is home
rule The cry, it is true, Is rs ri
diculous as the young fellows ques-
ton, but it makes sound and that Is
something. Some Of those who are
making the noise are residents OF Me-
vada. not from choice, but necessity,
and more Of them gave the people IL
Illustrations OF their idea OF home rule
at the last election. One OF the loud
est saunders OF home rule wanted n
Federal Office in Utah and swore
vengeance against everything Repub-
lican because the place was given TO Il
resident Of the Territory. Another
came from California to take a place
in the mint, though Nevadans wanted
it, and u third changed his place OF
residence just in time to make him
eligible as a candidate against old
settlers. But why extend the list:
The absurdity of those people shout
ing home rule is too apparent to be
taken seriously by anyone with rs
much brains as "a chimpanzec.-Reno
Journal.
The home rule cry Of the Repub-
lican press is decidedly amusing.
The policy OF ,lecting Republicans
from other States as United States
Senators to represent Nevada has
been worked for years by that party.
So long rs the candidates were
wealthy and came down handsomely
to the corruption fund, the followers
OF the e. o. p. blindly obeyed the
crack of the party whip. Their con-
sciences never troubled them and they
had no tears to shed over the States
disgrace. But now the scene has
changed and their teudir consciences
over the thought of electing
anybody to Office who is not Il bona
iide resident of the State. Funny
these Nevada Republicans.

THEIR PLATFORM KNOCKED OUT.

The Senate by the decisive vote o

the tariff bill, passed by the House
early in the present session Of Con
gress. Five Republicans, Cannon
Carter, Dubois, Mantle and Teller,
voted with the Democrats and Popu.

ators Stewart and Jones OF this State
are classed with the Populists.
This was a test vote and shows con,

OTIS named above, who have hitherto
voted with the Eastern protectionist;
on all questions relating to the tariff
have ut last given notice to the gold
wing OF their party that no legisla'

United States Senate. as at present

ton be given to silver.
This bill received the votes OF near.
ly every Republican in the House
and passed that body by nm over

declarations OF President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle that tariff leg

standing these declarations the bill

These measures we're intended by

bill, being in the interest OF the money
lenders, would draw the support Of
that class while the tariff bill would
appeal strongly to the manufacturers
and wool growers. With this com
