CHICAGO "TRIBUNE AND KANSAS FARM

proVement

ERs.
The Chicago tribune has fits every
time it learns anything that augurs we'll
for Kansas. IL has suffered colicky spells
on occasions five or six years or more on
account Of Kansas. In fact, that paper
has not been in it's usual health at any
time since the Kansas revolution Of 1890
The sight Of Peffer's name in print, or
that Of Simpson or Lease, invariably
causes a rush Of blood to the TTi6GDe'S
head, and it never hears Of good thing
about Kansas that it does not get night
mare and land curses on the heads Of
these well.known Kansas people.
Our big wheat crop has set the Trib-
Une'S wheels agOing, In an article a
few days ago, it referred to this subject
and began by telling it's readers that the
Kansas wheat crop will be heavier this
year than ever before, with the single
exception Of 1892, and then proceeds to
enumerate several facts and circum-
stances tending to show that not only
have we a big crop Of wheat, but that we
are reasonably sure Of getting good
prices for il. In view of these encour-
aging omens the Tribune thinks the
Kansas farmers ought to take q more
cheerful view of the situation than they
have been taking for some time past"
because, it says, "during the last two
years they have been reducing their
mortgage indebtedness, and this years
good harvest will enable them to reduce
it still more"
And then it's gripping pains come on
again and this is the way 1t relieves
ITSELF
"The farmers must feel that the hon
est repayment Of money borrowed by
them to enable them to make their lands
productive is TO be preferred TO the pol
icy Of cheating creditors out Of half what
ia due them with free silver dollars, as
recommended by Bryan and Nine, Lease,
PETER, Simpson, and the other free silver
demagogues who have made Kansas
their stamping ground. Many Of the
Kansans who voted last year for the re-
pudiator, Bryan, may have reached the
conclusion by this time that hard work
and kindly nature yield more satisfac'
tory results than the destruction Of
credits and the seizure Of the property
OF debtors"
II the Tribune has not wholly lost itC
head as we'll as its temper, will it kindly
tell US whether the debts, which 1t aC
knowledges we have been paying, were
not paid honestly and in current money
Win it say whether Kansas farmers haC
anything more to do with bringing
about the general depression Of the las
six or eight years than the people O
Chicago had? Have there been any
more failures among farmers in Kansas
than among farmers in other States o.

A QUESTION SUBMITTED TO THE GOLD
STANDARD PRESS.


An interesting editorial article sp-
peared in the Topeka Daily Capital last
Friday, July 10th, under the caption, "a
Case in Point Illustrating Principle"
The case in point was this: "a dis
patch in the Chicago Times Herald
from Mobile, Ala, says: Charles W.
Stanton Of Mobile to-day exhibited soft
and hard steel ingots, converted from
crude Alabama iron ore with single
furnace manipulation without fuxing,
He asserts that his process will produce
steel from ore as Cheaply as pig iron can
be produced by smelting.'"
The Capital properly says the success
Of this process will work reduction in
the price of steel, and suggests that this
instance may be generalized to cover
substantially all Of the commodities pro-
duced, bought and sold in the matter Of
she fall Of prices and rise Of money. Ar
gulng on that line, the Capital says;
"Imagine dollar that has not sp.
preCiated in relation TO commodities in
the last thirty years; or, to look at the
other side Of the same picture, imagine
commodities, In spite Of the enormous
reduction in cost by reason Of improved
machinery and new processes and the
widespread tendency to concentration
Of industry and hence to economy Of
production, selling for the same prices
in money as thirty years ago! The ap'
probation of gold is simply another
phrase for the decline in the cost and
price Of goods"
The question which the ADVOCATE
wishes, seriously, to submit TO the CGpt-
tai and other papers that favor the gold
standard, will be stated after presenting
another lease in point illustrating a
principle"
1t appears in tables made up by Sauer-
beck and others chat the fall in the gen.
eral level Of prices since 1873 has been
about so per cent, which is equivalent
to 100 per cent. appreciation Of the value
Of money during the same time. Mr.
Wharton Barker OF Philadelphia, in the
American Of April II, 1897, published q
table of index numbers for 100 articles
covering the time from January l, 1891
to April /, 1897. The 100 articles in
cluded breadstuffs, live stock, provisions
hides and leather, raw and manufactured
textiles, metals, coal and coke, mineral
and vegetable oils, naval stores, building

WILL PROBABLY BE \ FACT WITH.
IN A SHORT TINE.
Second Dividend Declared Yesterday 80
Money Making Institution.

At meeting of the shareholders
in the Hagey Institute last evening it
was practically agreed that an effort
should be made to raise funds for the
erection of a large institute building
in this city. The rough plans that have
been suggested by T. f. Cowart and
j. II. Kirkpatrick would require fully
$27. 900 or $4,000 for the purchase of
a centrally located lot, the erection Of
Il magnificent stone or brick building
and the fitting up of the institute.
Alexander Young, president of the
institute has guaranteed the stock
holders that he will raise $4,000, or
one-haf of the money. Messrs. Cow
ar and Kirkpatrick have offered to
put in sum not less than $1,000, so
it is understood, and others have Of
fered voluntary contributions, swell
ing the amount to nearly 100000.
The wish of Messrs. Young, Cowart,
Magoon, Ables and others who are in
terested in the institute, is the erec-
ton of a large and commodious brick
or stone building in the center of the
city, which would have social had,
reading rooms, billiard rooms, music
parlors and other conveniences for the
men of the city who are without
homes, aside from the general treat
ment rooms. The argument is all
vanced that such accommodations
would attract patients from the coast
and elsewhere.
Before The departure of Mr.. Cowart
for the States this matter was being
Generally talked up and now that
this gentleman, together with Mr..
Kirkpatrick, l.. c. Ables and j. b.
Daniels are about to leave for the Col
onies, the project will be definitely de-
cided upon. The stockholders will
hold another meeting tomorrow to
take decisive steps on the scheme, one
way Or the other.
4 dividend of per cent was de-
clared yesterday. This makes 10 per
cent within the last couple months.
The gross receipts of the Hagey thus
far are over $4,000.

WANTED TO COMPROMISE.
Defendant Says He Was Approached
BY Officials.

w. j. Gallagher and b. Shimizu, one
the alleged agent and the other an i'm
portant official in the Kobe lmmigra-
ito Company, were up before Judge
De la Nergne of the Police station to-
day on the charge of importing Jap
anese aliens into the country. The
Government was represented by j. \.
Magoon and Mr.. Weaver, of w. r.
Castles office. The defendants coun-
sci comprised w. \. Kinney and A. G.
NJ. Robertson.
The entire forenoon was occupied
in the hearing of testimony for the
prosecution. When the Government
rested its case b. Shimizu was placed
on the stand and he gave testimony on
"a conversation of Government officials,
who endeavored to compromise the
case. Mr.. Magoon desired that this
testimony be stricken out, whereupon
"A rather lengthy discussion followed
between the attorneys. The judge will
make a ruling on this matter this af-
ternoon.
The entire defense of both Gallagher
and Shimizu will probably be that the
japanese brought to these shores by
them on the Shinshiu Maru had legal
right to land, despite the decision of
the Collector General of Customs and
Supreme Court on the matter. The
case win likely be submitted to the
Judge late this afternoon.

TARGET FOR THE MARION
ONE WAY TO DISPOSE OF THE
BARK ROSALIE.
Send Her to Sea With Sails Set--Mar-
ion to Give Chase and Sink Her With
Cannon-Novel Idea.

Some of the brainy men along the
water front have conceived the idea
that the condemned bark Rosalie
would make an excellent target for
the guns of the Marion, and that if
Commander Greene could be induced
to use up his quarterly allowance of
ammunition in pepperng the old bark
full of holes. just off the harbor, the
people of Honolulu could well afford
to purchase the Rosalie and present
her TO the United States.
Those who remember how Il United
States gunboat shelled a wreck on the
reef, at the request of the Govern
ment, a few Years ago. in order TO
blow her up, can remember what "A
fine sight was presented. 1t would be
far more interesting to witness the
shelling and sinking of a ship at sea.
The entertainment could he witnessed
from the shore. and everybody could
see it. 1t would be very highly real
istic, for the Rosaie would be sent
out with spars and sails, and il would
he a novelty such as few people in any
portion of the world have had oppor-
tunity to witness.
The plan proposed is to tow the
bark out to sea. with just enough bal
last in her to insure her sinking in
case she is pierced and filed with
sent on ana set, and then the bark set
on course and left to go it alone. The
Marion would give chase, filling her
full of iron and steel, as if she were
real enemy. The gunner could give
an exhibition of his skill by first pick
ing off the masts and then pouring
broadsides into her.
The Rosalie could be bought for
mere song. She was sold at public auc-
ton few days ago for $lS5, and al
most everything of value, even in the
way of old junk, could be taken out
of her without spelling her for tar
get. Her purchase money could read
lily be raised by popular subscriptions
as the show would be one that all,
both rich and poor, could see with
equal advantage. 1t would be a com
pliment to Commander Greene, too, to
present him with the vessel. He has
the ammunition to eNpend which,
under the regulations, must be dis
posed of before the end of the quarter
1t would be the very best of practice
for the men and ship, too.
Here is an opportunity for the peo-
pie of Honolulu to witness sea bat
tie without bloodshed. 1t ought not
to be overlooked

TOILERS PROTECTED.
Clause in Contract that WI Please
Laboring Men.

The Government has just issued
call for tenders for the new Nuuanu
Pail road, which is unique in that it
discriminates in favor of Hawaiian,
American and European laborers, as
against Asiatic laborers. The condi-
tions read: The tenders are based
upon the condition that at least fifty
per cent of the unskilled laborers en-
ployed on this work are to consist of
Hawaiians, Americans or Europeans"
This is the first time that Asiatic
labor has been Disseminated against
directly by the Government and the
effect upon the laboring classes will
be watched with interest, especially
by Commissioner Fitzgerald, of San
Francisco, who is now here looking
into such matters.

recognized each other. They were ON
the same training ship years ago,
when Mr.. Lawless was learning his
profession and the gunner was, among
other things, the melodian player at
chapel services. Mr.. Sonners has been
nearly forty years in the navy and Will
be retired soon.

Although malihini as yet, II. f.
Coleman, the new secretary, made an
excellent report to the association.
Considerable interest was being taken
among the members in the gymnasium
and the classes JUS recently formed
have fair memberships. The secre-
tary reported that arrangements had
already been made for the addition of
a handball court in the gym" He
recommended this game and believed
that it would find ready favor with the
gymnasts.

Coleman intends printing the reports
