The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1897-07-20

An exciting election recently
took place in Toronto, Canada, to
decide whether the street cars
should be allowed to run there ON
Sundays. The company's charter
forbids it, but a clause in it pro
vides that the question may be sub
mitted to a popular vote, not often
er than once in every five years.
Toronto is peopled largely by the
Scotch, who are noted as being very
religions, and strict in the obser-
vance of the Sabbath. The city
has a population of over 200, 900,
and is growing fast. 1t has over
200 churches. On Sundays all
church-goers are expected to walk,
as the distance is not generally a
long one, there being a church on
nearly every second or third block
throughout the city. The election
campaign ON this car question
proved to be the most exciting ever
held in the city. The company
made every effort to stir up voters
for the Sunday cars, while their
opponents were equally active in
drumming up anti-car voters. For
a few days it seemed as though this
was the all-absorbing topic. The
company spared no expense, and
free rides were the order of cleo
ton day. Out of a total vote of
over $4,000, the Sunday cars won
by majority of 40. No new cleo
ton can be held on this question
for five years, by that time, it will
be found that they have come to
stay. There can be no doubt that
Sunday cars are great convent
ence to many church-goers, and
they certainly are a luxury to the
poorer laboring classes for whom
Sunday is often their only day for
an outing. They are here
in Honolulu great convenience
for many church goers, who live
at a distance from church, and
have no horse or carriage, and it
surely can be no worse to step into
a car than to harness a horse and
drive to church. If Sunday cars
and ferries are evils, they are ne
cessary evils, which in the end are
productive of more good than
harm. The experience of Toronto's
citizens during the coming five
years will probably convince them
Of this.

THE UNIVERSAL POSTAL CON.
GRESS.

This body, which convened at
Washington early in May last,
closed its session about the 18th of
June. The first four weeks were
occupied with a full and free dis
cussion of the various topics which
had been planned for their work,
most of which have been adopted,
but not all. As the result of their
deliberations, the following
changes have been made:
/. Corea has been admitted in
to the Union, and consequently
Coreai stamps will be in demand,
by stamp collectors, if by no one
else. China and the Free Orange
State of South Africa still remain
out, though both sent notices that
they wished to join as soon as they
can make the necessary arrange
ments.
2. New regulations have been
adopted regarding the heavy
charges for carrying foreign mails
through various countries, notably
the United States, Canada, France,
and other European countries.
The charges for carrying such
mails are to be reduced, and may
eventually be abolished.
3. Uniform colors are to be
used for postage stamps. As we
understand this regulation, all one
cent stamps are to be printed in
the various countries in the same
color. And so with the 2, 3, 4, 5
and other denominations, each
different stamp in different color,
but the same color to be used by
every nation, for the same demo-
mination. This regulation will no
doubt be carried out. But what
harvest it will make for stamp
collectors, who will require to
double the size and number of
their albums.
4. Unpaid international postal
cards, which have heretofore been
charged ten cents each, will here
after have to pay four cents, or
the double rate only.
5. Typewriter circulars, in
quantities of twenty or more in a
package, will be classed as printed
circulars.
6. The weight limit allowable
for sample packages is increased
from $50 to $50 grams, or about
twelve and half ounces.
7. Objects of natural history
are hereafter to be classed as sam
pies, and viii pay same as No. 6.
8. No universal postage stamp:
adapted to the use of all countries
can at present be adopted, owing
to the complex values of money
in different countries. Probably

The wisdom of Speaker Reeds course
in holding the House down to the work
which it was specially called to perform,
must be obvious to anybody who gives
the matter attention. Had the commit
tees been appointed and general legisla-
ton entered upon the chances are that
the passage of the tariff bill would have
been greatly delayed in the House with
a corresponding delay in the Senate, and
there would have been constant danger
of its being sde-tracked for some other
legislation or passed only on condition
that some other bill of doubtful utility
should be passed also. With the House
open for general legislation we should
doubtless have had Cuban agitation
which would have checked the revival OF
confidence, and neutralized perhaps to
large extent the good effects of the pas
sage of the tariff bill. AS it is the new
tariff law is launched under most tavora-
BILE conditions for speedy revival OF
trade and industry. To Mr.. Reed the
thanks of the country are due for holding
in check the propensity which is always
present in large popular body like the
House of Representatives to set off fire.

we'll as other leading nations is now
looked upon as probable if not indeed an
assured fact. The latest advices from
Europe indicate that President McKin-

it will cooperate in conference, and
that the assurance Ivy England and
France renders it certain that other
leading nations will generally follow

The croakers who complained of Secre-
tary's Stewards course because he paid
seven millions for Alaska showed about
as little wisdom as the croakers TODAY
who have been insisting that nothing
but the free unlimited coinage Of silver
would bring back prosperity to the Uni
ted States. Alaska has already brought
to the United States many dollars more
than it cost US, in its fur-seal industry,
and now it has developed the richest
gold mine in the world This enormous
gold find within our own territory,
coupled with the fact that the gold mines
of the world are producing this year
more than ever in history and that we
are going to draw great quantities of
gold from abroad in payment of our
splendid crops, for which high prices are
predicted, promises a good supply of
money and prosperity in the United
States during the coming year, and in
deed indefinitely.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1897-07-30

People in these parts who contemplate
going to the Alaska gold fields had bet
ter, before starting, post themselves on
the country and the conditions that they
are likely to be confronted with when
tley get there. If they succeed in get
ting there this fall they will have to
spend the winter, for there is no way of
getting out after cold weather sets in,
which is very early in that region. And
the winters are very long and extremely
cold. A temperature of 6S degrees below
zero is not uncommon. Under the best
of circumstances in such climate there
must be good deal of suffering. But
the rush is now so great that starvation
will inevitably stare many people in the
face before the winter is over. 1t is said
to he impossible before the rivers close
up to transport anything like the amount
OF provisions that will be needed to sus-
tain the people who are hurrying thther,
with their minds full of the stories of
fabulous wealth which can be had for
the picking up, and blind to the fact that
gold, no matter how abundant, will not
sustain life or keep out cold. Unless rea-
son asserts itself before thecraze has gone
much further thousands of people will
find themselves on the Yukon river,
with their retreat cut offby ice and snow,
and without the necessaries of life. Even
the early miners in California suffered
great hardships and privations, though
the climate was moderate and the Win
tiers short.

ISLAND PoND, VI, July 80.

The new tariff ball went into elect last
Saturday. July -. passed by the Senate
aud signed by tn, President that day
We trust that this new tariI will be IN
every sense successful. The revenue II
will produce will. OF course, be far lower
during the first wear than during succeed
ing years, tor immense quantities OF
yoods have been rushed into the country
during the p st few months in order to
.escape the increase in duties. 1t Is esti-
mated that the government has been he
pr;yed of no less than S4O,00o,OOO by
these advance importations. Vet 1t Is
difficult to see how the impour oi goous
could have been averted. A retroactive
clause, such as the Dingley bill originally
contained, might have diminished 1t to
some extent, but it would have been
difficult to enforce its provisions and 1t
was knocked on the head by the Senate.
Everything considered, Congress has
done the best teould for the revenue by
ndSltINlS AhS posSt'SS VI N"N $1,000
dent Mckinley summoned the extra ses-
sion as soon as he could, the House
showed commendable zeal and diligence
in its consideration of the measure,
while as to the Senate, it can be SAID
with truth that it has done far better
than was expected oft. Four years, at
all events, must elapse before we will
have another tariff, and that is a source
Disqualification, because of the growing
indisposition to change economic legisla-
ton. All of the Republican leaders think
that the new bill will produce ample
revenue, especially as business conditions
are now showing unmistakable evidence

such will be the case.
