(From our Regular Correspondent
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 18th, 1897.
Senator Sherman will probably set
tie the question OF whether he is to be
Secretary OF State i'm the coming ad-
ministration, during the present week
as he will. by special invitation, have
personal conference with President
elect Mckinley at Canton MIR Sher-
mans personal inclins tions are not
towards the Cabinet, but he is prepar-
ed TO do his duty as a good republican
and patriotic citizen, and if it be the
wish OF President Mckinley and OF the
Ohio republicans, who have given him
such great political honors in the past
that he should accept cabinet port
folio. he will not allow his personal in
clinatiOns to stand in the way. That
he would make good Secretary of
State is as certain as that he has made
a good Senator and good Secretary
of the Treasury. and while his col
leagues would miss his experience and
wisdom in the Senate, the knowledge
that President Mckinley and the
country would have the benefit of them
would go tar towards consoling them
for the loss.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and /
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and / take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians

properties Of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if

Along the north Jersey coast from Long
Branch to Asbury Park the coast is formed
of bluffs and high ground, and walls that
will offer direct resistance to the waves
must be constructed 70 protect them from
the waves. These Llutfs arc being washed
away rapidly wherc not protected by some
artificial Gcyicc, and the sand is carried
back into the sea, where sand bars are
formed with it. Many years ago when the
Jersey seaside resorts first became promi-
nenG Efforts were made to protect this
shore with heavy timber bulkhcads. But
each recurring winter these massive tim
bers were washed away and good slice
of the bluffs was levelCd. No matter how
heavy and strong this sort of protection is
made, the sea is pretty sure to batter il
down in time, and the work must be re-

have wasted their money in building make

from the ocean along many parts of our
coast. The same amount of money put in

yield permanent results chat would endure
for half century and in timo this must
be the outcome of the present abortive at

with sloping faces to the sea, would pro

property would be secure for all time. The
best illustrations of this principle of coast
defense can be seen in the numerous stone
breakwaters constructed by the govern.
