the Society Editor of the Register,
Yesterday, in which she asked the
following question. "Why does a

fighting editor was busy, we de-

our hundreds of charming young

We understand our town charter
gives the council power to assess
abutting property owners for the
improvement of the streets-that
is one-third to the abutting proper
ty owners on each side. aud the
other third to be paid by the town.
This would be a good plan by
which to get our streets in good
condition, without any particular
hardship upon the owners of the
property, as the tax would be paid
in installments running over a
period of ten or twelve years. That
is if property owners assessment
was 800, he would pay $40 yea1
for.ten years, without interest, and
SO on, and if he elected to pay cash
he would get a discount of 10 or IL
per cent. Surely no one would
object to an ordinance putting this
section of the charter into effect.

If the United States annexes the
Hawaiian islands it will add to its
possessions country that in one
respect at least is more civilized
than itself. Hawaii has in sue
cessful operation postal savings
bank system. There is on deposit
with the postal bank about 81, 600
600, which is a pretty good show
ing for a country of 100000 popu-
lation, mostly illiterate natives and
foreign labore-s. If annexation of
the islands were to carry with it
the extension to this country of
the postal savings bank system in
operation there, that would be a
strong argument for annexation.

stood seven for acquittal and FIVE

because she did not see fit to coma

She had given hundred thous-
and dollars or more to some of the
late Judge Camden's closest rela-
tives, and those not SO close to
him by blood ties of kindred
trumped up this case to get a few
thousand out of her, also. We
hope this will be the last of this
case, and that Mrs. Atkinson will
be freed from all further annoy
ance from the greedy set.

Gates the intention of the Ameri-

the polls. The flowing tide is with
the Democratic party. The prom

ests of the great mass of the peo-
pie have been neglected, and reS

The Dingley bill. by means of
which the sweat and blood of the
American people are drawn to en-
rich corrupt and greedy pluto
cracy, is the only achievement Of
the Mckinley administration The

lican administrator have become
the open and notorious tools of the
cormorants. The Mex inley Hans
ma administration is the servant of
trusts at home. the partner of job
bers in Hawaii. the ally of Spain
An Cuba.
The. election at Indianapolis and
Chattanooga Tuesday were but
straws Indicating the drift of the.
popular will. Both of these cities
gave large Republican majorities
last year. Chattanooga is a Re
publican stronghold. Yesterday
it repudiated McKinley's party.
The Democratic majority in Indi-
annapolis exceeds 5000. Last No
vember the same city gave nearly
7, 600 majority for Mckinley.
Ohio, New York, Virginia, Ken
tucky, Maryland and Iowa will
speak next month. The Dingley
bill is on trial. The people will
pass judgment on government by
injunction. The voters can only
get a kick at Hannaism here and
there this year. Next year con-
gress will be elected, and two years
later President. McKinleyism,
Hannaism and Dingleyism are
doomed. The alteration of last
year has passed away and the pub
lie mind is again clear. The peo-
Pile will take charge of their GOV
