the last administration, are in num-
Der of cases being embarrassed now.
In numerous instances Republicans
who can demonstrate that they have
always been known as such and voted
the Republican ticket have been either
removed or reduced since the fourth
of March. When these gentlemen
have appealed to the powers above
them, asserting their Republicanism
and insisting that the heads of Repub-
licans should not be laid low by the
ak, they have been reminded Of certain
evidences that they were favored be-
yond what might be expected from
having a high degree of efficiency by
the last administration. They have
been told that the record shows that
they had this, or that very pleasant
assignment to a special duty, or that
they had confidential relations with
Democratic chieftains. The officials
have been inclined to proceed on the
assumption that men favored by
Democrats are of the Democratic par
ty. In this way 1t has been brought
about that many Republicans whose
ability or general qualities secured
them special favors in the last admin
istration are anxious to let bygones be
bygones.
Atcing on this same principle many
men who We're badly used during the
last administration, are using that fact
to secure favor now, claiming that
the treatment accorded them was be-
cause OF their intense Republican
ism.

LAST NIGHTS FIRES.
Residence of Emil Kraft Totally Con-
sumed.

Residence of Emil Kraft Totally Con-
sumed.
At 1885 o'clock last night an alarm
of fire was turned in from box 243, cor
ner Goliad and Santa Clara streets,
which called out Chief Collins hose
wagon No. 2, and engine and hose reel
No. to the corner of Iowa and Plum
streets where the residence of Emil
Kraft was burning.
AS the flames had gained considera-
BILE Roadway before the alarm was
even turned in, the firemen arrived
too late to save the house put did good
work in saving adjoining property.
No one was at home at the time the
blaze was discovered and 1t is a mys-
terry how it caught.
DR.. Kraft occupied only one room Of
his residence. He had one hundred
dollars in currency in the room, which
were burned up. His insurance on the
house was $500. The estimate of the
value of the house is $500. His loss
on contents Is about $3.50.
Just before the firemen were called
to this fire their services would have
been required at DR.. Reese's little Of
fee on Alamo street, near Wolff &
Marks store, had not the vigilance Of
Police officer Montez awaited Early
in the evening Mrs. Reese, the wife of
this clever colered clairvoyant and spir-
it medium, was much laramed bydiscov-
ing the presence of a prowler in the
rear of the office. She called the Off
Ger and a search of the premises was
made without effect, and the officer
told her If she was again annoyed not
to raise an cutlery but to slip out quiet
ly and inform him and he could per-
haps catch the intruder.
When the repetition of the iHtrusion
occurred she arose but in her haste,
it is thought tripped over a lighted
lamp, which caused an upset and con-
sequent blaze, which spread under
large dresser and but for the efforts
Of the officer would have proved disas-
trous to the entire building.

day, and Callahan was an enigma 10
all the Fort Worth batters except
Ernie Hodge, who played his first
game with Fort Worth today. Go
dell, who has never lost game before
at home, pitched like one playing for
his release. He was wild and when
he did get the ball over it was hit hard.
Only perfect fielding prevented much
larger score. What little interest
might have been felt in the one-sided
game was killed by the glaring incom-

Once upon a time several patriotic
disinterested and public spirited citi-
zens met together in San Antonio and
organized a Good Government club"
The object of the organization, assum-
ing that it had an object, was never
publicly made known; and as at last
accounts the treasurer had resigned
and the membership dwindled to the
self-appointed president and secretary,
the presumption is that the great body
of reformers have passed in their
checks and silently drifted into inoccu-
Gus deseutude. Your genuine reformer
much like the sturdy pioneer, is al
ways the victim.
Both district courts have adjourned
until in course, and judges and lawyers
as well as the sports will enjoy an ap-
preciated vacation.

talk about clerks working on Sun

do in the matter7 A steamer arrives
Sunday morning from Kauai. A
mail containing orders for goods
has to be read and frequently the
steamer leaves on Monday, and it is
necessary for the exporters to have
the goods shipped before 8 o'clock
on Monday morning. Why doesn't
Mr.. w. o. Smith make a movement
in regard to the inter-island steam
ers1 Is it that he is prominent
stockholder and declines to inter
fere with his own dividends7 1t is
about time that the Sunday farce is
played out and that the W. o. Smith
humbug follows suit.

Mr.. W,O. Smith has made a speech
to representative of his official
journal and he is "daisy." For
once we agree with the learned gen

Mr.. Dole and through his personal

read him the other way) is now on
the turf in favor Of clerks, laborers,
aud workingmen generally. He has
nothing to say about the poor men
who work every Sunday during the
year in irrigating on plantations.
He sympathizes with the clerks in
Honolulu who have to work for
their employers, because the Inter
Island steamers arrive here on Sun
days, and he has not a word to say
against the preachers who for FIX
ed salary work on Sundays. In fact
Mr. Smith is at present simply at
tending to Oceanic steamers, and
he doesn't even propose to interfere
with them il they should be in dis
tress or delayed. In fact Mr.. Smith
is playing game OF bluff which he
cannot win. The other men in the
game have seen his hand and he had
not even "blue stones" to plank up
his hand and call his partners. Why
doesn't Mr. Smith place an embargo
on the Inter Islands steamers arriv.

AH! so COOL.

What a gloriously good old
time we are having in this Para
disc of the Pacific of ours, while
our friends across the shark

HOW NOT TO HELP.

The enemies of Hawaii have to
thank the Advertiser for valuable
assistance, possibly unconsciously
rendered. In considering the tariff
on sugar in the United States, parti-
cularly with reference TO the bounty
system, and possibility that a bounty
might apply to Hawaiian ground
sugar, the editor sapiently says:
"No rural congressman would dare
to vote directly out of the treasury
several millions to the people Of an
alien country" That the same con-
gressmen are indirectly voting the
millions out OF the treasury every
time that they grant an enabling act
to make our reciprocity treaty
effective, as to our sugars being only
limited at.

"The Icarus is looking for the
Swanhilda," says the water front
gossiper. The fact is that the lcarus
is not supposed to know anything
about the vessel, supposed to have
on board the professional murderer.
An English man-of-wsr doesn't
dance around the Pacific Ocean be-
cause some fellow has seen will-o-
the wisp. The Icarus will remain
here until she is officially notified to
move on. A correspondent for a
local paper can hardly move British
man of-war.

We are pleased to notice that

charges could be advanced by the

to them has not yet been accounted
for. "Rats" have the preference of
"men" in the estimate of our Kin

The rumor fend is at large again.
This time we are told that FL. B. M.
S. has lifted anchor and is chasing a
strange vessel off Kauai, and sup
posed to be the Swanhilda. The
Icarus is in the harbor as we go to
press, an officer of the sloop is
booked to sing in the Opera House
this evening, and the genial com
mander and his popular officers can
not leave us until all their social
engagements have been filed. The
Swanhilda might have fourteen
murderers on board and the whole
outfit may be off Kauai. AS a matter
OF fact the Icarus will attend to her
business and the detectives looking
for the Swanhilda will attend to
their own. However if Swanhilda is
TO be captured and brought to Ho-
nolulu, don't do it on Sunday.
Even the father OF the rumors can
not afford to fight w. o. Smith and
his missionaries, and according to
our latest rules, no vessel can be
seized or held on Sunday. What
ever you do, let justice be done on a
week day and let Sunday be sacred.
The Icarus will remain here and the
Kauai idiots will continue watching
the mysterious" vessel, through
their powerful glasses. The Swan
hilda will not touch Hawaii nei
under any circumstances. All skip
pers know the propensities Of the
"gaffers" Of the Paradise of the
Pacific.

The editor goes on to say that it
was at one time under consideration
to make the reciprocity treaty oper-
ative as "to sugar raised in Hawaii,
by American labor and with Amer
ican capital and that it would be a
short cut to the Americanizing Of
the islands. The amount to be paid
out OF the treasury, under such a
policy, would not be large" The
stupid threat covered under this
quotation is aimed at the British
and Germans interested in the sugar
industry of these islands; but it falls
harmless. At the same time the
fact is discovered, to the injury OF
the reciprocity treaty, that Amer
leans are not so largely benefited
by the treaty as are the British and
Germans. To aid all our planters
millions Of dollars will be required
in bounty or remission of duty,
while to aid the American interests
on these islands the amount "would
not be large"
