Judge Wilcox in his remarks
upon the trial of Professor Ingalls,
for cruelty to animals were much
to the point, There was no proof
that the professor meant to be cruel,
and there is also no proof that the
Chinaman who forgets to put a
blanket on his mules back intends
to be cruel, but the Chinaman is
duly fined and the professor is also.
1t is evident that the professor is
more at home in the lecture room
than he is in the stable, and the
next time he buys balky horse,
he had better get someone else to
effect a cure. 1t will be neither as
costly in cash or in anguish of
mind. For the professor has been
unusually disturbed and that is not
good for the calm condition OF
mind required by his exacting pro-
feSsion.

The Argonaut a few issues ago
published vicious slur upon our
Post Office. The material for this
was supplied of course from here.
1t suggested that letters that passed
through the Post Office were not
safe, but that they were opened.
The writer forgot that this country
belongs to the Postal Union, and
that if there were any ground for
suspected tampering with the mails,
the matter would be quickly inves-
tigated. The person who wrote
the communication knew that be
was stating an untruth, and the
Argonaut must have known the
same when it lent itself to the pub.
LEGATION of the falsehood. But the
Hawaiian Post Office can afford tc
despise such scurrilous attacks.

THE TRAM CARS.

" The cars must be of the most
approved construction for comfort
and convenience and safety of pas
sengers. A failure to comply
shall work forfeiture of the right
of way"
So says the charter of the tram
way company, and how many times
the charter has been violated it is
hard to say. What is everybody's
business is nobody's business, but
surely in view of the fact that it is
the guardian of the public the Gov
eminent might order a case against
the company. The cars are in many
cases not safe. The brakes are of
old and antiquated pattern and
have on various occasions caused
serious accidents, which might have
resulted in loss of life. The doors
in several WON'T shut, and this
causes discomfort, and now money
box falls on lady's head and in
jures her. People seated in the
cars are often warned not to sit
near the money! boxes because they
are not safe. he only thing that
will ever bring The tram car man
agement to reason is a threat to
break their charter. 1t is quite in
the province of the Government to
look into the matter.

VICTORIA'S CLAIM TO THE
UNITED STATES.

Julius Palmer, the limpetlike,
is always repining about royal
rights, and cannot get into his re-
publican head that deposed mon
archs have no such rights as he
tries to claim. Being republican
it is possible that he is not so we'll
accustomed to the genus deposed
monarch, as the European monarch
ist is. But in Europe the woods
are full OF them, so full that Dau-
Diet, the French novelist, wrote
them up in very caustic style in his
" Kings in Exile" where nearly
every character was drawn from
life.
In Europe Kings or Queens in
exile got and do get very little
sympathy unless they can pay for
it. Given wealth and they can buy
little court, but they can get no
official recognition. They knock
about from hotel to hotel and CAPT
tai to capital, and are looked at with
curiosity by those on the lookout
for raree shows, and they are for
ever the center of fusty intrigues
and mysterious communications.
Altogether they are very melan-
choly creatures, these European
Kings and Queens in exile. There
is no more depressing spectacle than
the phantom royalty of King gone
out of business.
Logically argued, according to
Julius Palmer, Queen Victoria is
the rightful sovereign of the United
States. Was not the land torn
from the grasp of England by set
of wicked republicans headed by
one Washington? He is certainly
regarded by 69,999,99o Americans
as father of his country and one of
the greatest patriots that ever lived =,
but by American, Jul II Palmer, to
wit, must be regarded as thief
and robber, who deprived mon
arch of his just rights and was
aided and abetted in his steal /" by
the " connivance Of the French.
One gets very weary of the dull
little platitudes which Julius is con-
stantly getting off, but then he has
nothing better to do.
Nothing can show more clearly
how completely the cause Of royalty
has lost its force here than the fact
that the Government have given the
ex-Queen free hand to go where
she will and say what she likes.
Whatever she does or says, or has
said, or has done, they are quite
satisfied neither has, nor will have
any effect upon the main issue that
has now come almost to a practical
solution. Her claims to Hawaii
are as diaphonous as those of Vic
toria or George the Fourth to the
United States, and it is just as
ridiculous to advocate them. What
is ever takes the place of what was.

STUPENDOUS SCHEME.
The Biggest Combination of River
 Coal Interests Yet
CAPITAL, ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
Ii is to Be a Huge Trust, Controlling the River Coal Interests From Lock Ne 5, on the Monougahe-
 Ia, to New Orleans.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Dee a.-The big gest combination of river coal in terests ever attempted promises to be effected before the new year It has been talked of for years. but has at last come to focus. A committee. consist ing of Capt w. w. O'Neit. president of the W. W. O'NeiI Coal Co. and of the Pittsburgh Coal exchange; Capt. S. $. Brown. of ". II. Browns Sons. and Capt John A. Wood, of the firm of John A. Wood k Son. is hard at work considering the schedules of property values as presented by the separate coal companies operating on the river.
 These is q slight disseusjou in the ranks, but 1t is not cousidered to be sufficient to block the way of speedy consolidation The scheme, which is stupendous in nature, proposes the or gaEization of one company with a capitalization of t.000, 000- It is to be huge trust controlling the river coal interests from Lock No. 5, on the Monorgahela river, to New Orleans.
 The primary object of the com bina- ton is to reduce expenses in both min- ing and shipping. The Pittsburgh op- orators hope by this means to success fully compete with the kanawha river product. It is claimed that it is but to reap the reward that will be gained in the reduction of operating ex penses. The elimination of the cutting done by Pittsburgh shippers is also expected to contribute to the dividends.

 ST. LOTUs. Dec a-At 3-30 p. n. fire LrOl<e out in the large wholesale estab- lishment of the Sawyer Paper Co, sat- 25 North Third street and before the fire was gotten under control the place was completely gutted-
 So rapidly did the flames eat their way through the building that several of the employees had narrow escapes.
 The immense book binder and print ing establishment of Woodward < Tier nan adjoined the Sawyer Paper Co. g building ou the south. and the 400 occupants of the building rushed to the doorways and fire escapes in or der to get out of the building.
 The flames spread with great rapidity and in spite of the combined efforts of a dozen engines, which poured immense streams of water on the burn ing building. the fire jumped across the street, aud at 3:45. the Commer- cial Printing Co.'S plant was on fire.
 Although the hremen used every ef- fort to check the flames, they spre ad across Locust street to the Economic bindery plant, the Young g-McKiuuey Printing Co, Missouri Engraving Co. and the rooms occupied by the Higgins Map Printing Co.
 At o'clock the walls of the Sawyer Paper Co.'s building fell crushing in the Mckinney company's plant. The alarm had been given and the firemen had gotten out of the way.
 The fremen ordered the spectators back from the scene and the employees of the city lighting department began cutting the telephone. telegraph and electric-light wires. In the scramble to get away several persons were slightly injured.
 The crossed electric wires made it extremely dangerous for the fremen, and immense flashes of electricity spurted dozen of feet across the street.
 The loss of the Sawyer Paper Co. will be about s20O, 900, undoubtedly we'll insured. Woodward < Tiernan's loss about slO, 900; insured. Other losses will aggregate $40, 900.
 A strong northwest wind was blow ing, and for time it looked like the fire would be bad one to control. A gem eraI alarm was turned in, bringing out all the tire-fghting apparatus in the principal portion of the city.

\ LOAD OFF HIS MIND.
Martin Thorn Apparently Believes
 His Doom Is Sealed.
MRS. MACK APPEARS MUCH AFFECTED.
Probability that She Will Get or with Twenty-Yssr Sentence on a Plea of Guilty of First Degree
 MausIaughter.

NEW YORK, Dec. Martin Thorn who, Tuesday evening, heard tAe yer dict of the jury which will send him ta the electric chair to expiate the mur- der of Vim. Guldensuppe. passed a quiet night in his cell at the Queens county jail.
 When Sheriff Dohl went in to see Thorn in the morning the condemned prisoner said he had no appetite for breakfast but he felt that a big load was off his mind. Thorn did not talk as if he had any hope ot getting new trial. He supposed, he said he would have to make up his mind to meet the worst.
 Mrs. Mack spent restless night, be- ing evidently much affected by the con- vietion of Thorn. When she heard of the verdict she wept, and expressed sorrow for her former lover, altho ugh she says her conscience is relieved. Mrs. Mack is in hi9hly-nervous con- dition, and is now very anxious about her own case. District Attorney Youngs has not announced just what he purposes doing in the case of Mrs. <fd1hs oAb says ne VIII bA&c no dCbAO1 until after Thorn is sentenced.
 It Is understood Mrs. Mack will be arraigned in court next week. when her counsel, Emanuel Friend, will in her behalf enter plea of guilty of manslaughter in the first degree, and that the district attorney will accept the plea In doing this Mir Youngs would be recognizing Mrs Nacks ac- tion in turning states evidence at the first trial Mrs Mack may be sem fenced to 90 years Imprisonment.
 Lawyer Howe denied in strong terms the statement that Thorn, after his conviction Tuesday, confessed to the killing and dismemberment of Gulden- suppe- MT. Howe reiterated his belief that the court of appeals would re- verse the verdict.
 Police Captain Methven, Of Long Is- land City, said:
 There are some discrepancies in the published report of Thorn's confession, but the main facts remain unchanged. Thorn made part of she confession to me and part to Sheriff Don't From what Sheriff Don't has told me I can truthfully say that Thorn confessed that he killed Guldensuppe.

 with but three or four exceptions. no one has succeeded in making a fortune in the mining districts of Nicaragua. !"
