that the burden of taxation is
very unequally borne is attested by
the great disparity in values in the
tax-lists from the various counties of
the State. That reform in this par
ticular is needed is apparent, but
just how to get at it is a problem.
Corrections are within the province
of the State Board of Equalization,
but the time allotted for the work is
inadequate and, consequently, not
much can be expected from it until
the laws are 80 changed as to give
the required time. 1t is evident
sufficient attention was not given to
the bill creating the Board.

If anybody thought the Demo-
Gratis would abandon the free coinage
plank of their platform he was very
much off the track. Every official
utterance of the regular Democracy
since the election has been clear cut
upon this subject. Here is the way
the Maryland State Democratic Con-
vention puts it: 1.-The Democracy of
Maryland believes now, as they
always have believed, in honest
money-the gold and silver money of
the constitution-andt the coinage of
both metals, without discrimination
against either, into standard dollars
of final payment and redemption"
There is neither abandonment nor
lodging in such expressions as these.

Last month was the first for four
years in which the volume of bust
ness reached by clearing house was
larger than in the same month of
1892 and dispatches from all parts of

gratifying Improvement. This is due
to large yield of wheat and prices,
though the crop is probably not so
large nor prices so high as in 1892,
but of cotton the price is higher and
the yield probably larger than in
that year.

August, 1897, compared with those
OF the corresponding period in 1896.
The expenditures have decreased,
being about $4,000 less 10 August
this year than in tbe same month in
1896 The expenditures need ex-
plantations, which the Minister of
Finance never seems willing TO fur
nish to the public. We notice, for
instance, that the item, "Civil list,
etc, is $1,000 less for August this
year than last year. AS there have
been no changes in the expenditures
under the appropriation for civil
list, etc, the inference is that the
Saving" of $1,000 is caused by Mr.
Dole not having drawn his salary

consider him guilty Of.

A serious smash-up.

Yesterday afternoon, young girl
Roby Andrews, q relation OF Mr.. A
M. Hewitt, mounted a horse belong
ing to Mr. Aheong and rode aloDe
Young street. The horse was pull
ing at tho bit, and finally became
unmans sgeable. The girl lost con-
troll Of the horse, which sped along
Young street towards Waikiki at a
furious pace.
At this time three carriages were
driving along Keaumoku street from
King street, the first occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs Lansing, the next by
Capt. Loreuzen and Mr.. j. Stelling
and the last by Mr.. j. Gilman and
family.
The runaway horse with its light
burden reached Keaumoku street,
when Captain Lorenzen's phaeton
was abreast of Young street. The
horse made a frantic attempt to
jump over the phaeton. It's chest
struck the top OF the carriage, and
its hindlegs got tangled for a mo-
ment in the debris, whereby Captain
Lorenzen sustained an ugly cut on
his face. The phaeton was turned
completely over, and the horse at
tached to it thrown down. The
young girl was thrown from the in
furiated horse and fell over Is feet
away to the ground, where she laid
stunned aud unconscious.
Lorenzen aud Stelling succeeded
in getting out from he wrecked
carrisge bleeding and bruised and
tho little girl was carried TO her
home.
Captain Lorenzen's wounds were
attended to by DR.. Wood, who
stitched together the cut ia his face.
Mr.. Stelling is able to limp around
but feels pretty sore. Miss Andrews
with the exception Of a few bruises
is sll right again.
Jack Stelling says, that the horse
Captain Lorenzen drove was not
oue of those fine animals he has i'm
ported. They are all SO fast, that
no runaway horse would ever have
chance to get near enough to
jump over them.

which arrived here last Friday from

at the Opera House on Saturday

with applause. Provo, the juggler,
