the government had been sufficient to
meet all it's ordinary expenses during
the past three years, the gold reserve
would still have been insufficient to
meet the demands upon 1t and that
bonds would necessarily have been is
sued for its repletion.
Be this as II may ii Is clearly mani
fest, without denying or affirming the
correctness of such conclusion, that the
debt would have been decreased in at
least the amount of the deficiency and
business confidence UNNECESSARILY
strengthened throughout the country
Congress should promptly correct the
existing condition. Ample revenues
must be supplied not only for the ordin-
airy expenses of the government, but
for the prompt payment Of liberal PEN
sions and the liquidation of the princi-
pal and interest of the public debt. In
raising revenue duties should be so lev
led upon foreign products as to preserve
the home market so far as possible to
our own producer; to revive and in
crease manufactures; to relieve and en-
courage agriculture; to aid and devel-
ope mining and building; and to rem
der to labor in every field of useful oc-
cupation the liberal wages and adequate
rewards to which skill and industry are
Justly entitled.
The necessity Of the passage of a tar
if law which shall provide ample rev.
enue need not be further urged. The
imperative demand Of the hour is the
prompt enactment OF such measure,
and to this object 1 earnestly recon-
mend that congress shall make every
endeavor. Before other business is
transacted let us first provide sufficient
revenue to faithfully administer the gcv-
eminent without the contracting az
further debt or the continued disturb
ince of our finances.

WASHINGTON. March 17.-[Special. l.
President Mckinley is going SO slowly in
the business of making appointments that
the faithful office seekers are beginning to

understand why there should be any delay,
why the good thing for which the politi-
clans fought in the recent campaign should
be withheld from the boys who stood in
the trenches. While there is considerable
'grumbling it does not affect the president
at all. He is taking things as easy as he
can and seems in no more hurry to parcel
out the offices than he was when he first
came to Washington. The number of APP

the administration generally is still far be-

Enjoyed the Joke.

President Mckinley preserves his good
nature through all the trials and pressure
incident to his official station. His bear
ing is still fine and courtly. He charms all
who come in contact with him. He enjoys
joke too. One of his callers, an old man
and veteran Republican, who has hung
about here for two weeks trying to get an
Office and making no discerniblc progress,
made so bold as to say to the president:
"You arc not going very fast, MIR. Prosi-
dent, nowadays. Last fall no one could
hustle around fast enough to suit you"
"That's so, ;" replied President Mckinley
laughingly. 81 was doing the running
then, and now you are doing it.
The reply pleased the veteran Office seek
er very much, but it is not recorded that
he is any nearer his goal now than he was
before.

the scene at the national capital. Instead

TWO SAND SPITS
Proposed to Remove them
from the Channel.
One at LighthouSe-One Opposite.
Pleasing Figures Noted

This will be the last days work for
the dredger at the new wharf Sips
near the fish market for some time.
During the next two months the big
machine will be in the hands of re-
pairers. Her boilers require fixing.
After the dredger again goes into
commission it is likely that she will
do some work at the head of the harbor
entrance. The job here is to deepen
near the light house and at a point al
most opposite the beacon operated by
Colonel Williams. Earth has been
made at the light house point by drift
from up the harbor. Across the chan
mel the fill is said to be from the sand
dump-tO be carriad out through the
rough wall by the tide. This is not
certain, but it is the theory of several
officials and shipping men.
When the japanese cruiser NaniWa-
kan left this port she struck the spit
on the mauka side of the channel just
beyond the Healani boat house. 1t
was said at the time and there was
no denial of the report that in steering
off from that spit she was thrown too
far over and that her bottom also
grazed the light house shoals. At any
rate Captain King, Minister of the In
terror, wants both the points deepened
again.
Captain Macauley, one of the Port
Pilots some time ago made a series of
soundings in the channel. This was
ordered by the Minister of Interior.
The work was very carefully done and
neat chart now in the Government
Offices was prepared. Three lines of
sOundingS were made. These were in
the center and thirty feet outside the
can and thirty feet outside the nun
buoys. The result was both surprising
and gratifying. 1t was found that
rather than becoming shallow, the en-
tire channel, excepting at the two
points referred to above. had deepen
ed where there was any change at all
from the soundings made when the
entrance was dredged some years ago
for deep water ships. The informa-
ton derived from this survey and
chart is considered valuable also to
those interested in Pearl Harbor. 1t
had been claimed by some that any
channel on this side of the Island would
gradually fill in and require dredging
every few years. This idea is entire
1y disproven.
The dredger has done good work at
the new sips, but the heavy pumping
plant must be supplemented in its
work by not little blasting. Whether
all the blasting will be done by the
Government or part of it let out to
contractors had not yet been finally
decided. So far all the blasting has
been done by employees of the Public
Works department.
