READY FOR WAR.

The sentiment in favor of the Cuban
insurgents seems to be growing every
day. In Washington the cause of the
insurgents is warmly espoused. Yes
terday the Cameron resolution, which
the morning dispatches reported
would probably be introduced into the
Senate Monday, was the cause of
much comment. According to Secre-
tary of State Olney, this resolution
practically means war with Spain.
There is no danger or probability that
war with Spain will in the least affect
the quality of Rainier Beer. No mat
ter what happens Rainier Beer will
always be the best. On tap or in bot

The Collector. General, fresh from
the New Hampshire farm was the
man to "do" it. Mr.. l. McGrew, an
expert bookkeeper in the employ OF
the Honolulu Custom House was
dispatched to Hilo to investigate
matters. He returned in due time
and his report was placed on file in
the Collector Generals Office.

Mr.. McStocker was then sent to
Hilo to verify the report of McGrew
and his report is now swelling the
"iles" Of Mr.. James B. Castle. 1t is
now reported that the Collector
General will leave for Hilo next
week to check the statements Of
Mr.. McStocker and we suppose that
the Minister Of Finance will then
take passage for Hawaii to find out
whether the Collector General has
made true report.

THE OPIUM MARKET.

The movement of the opium trade
during the past week has been ex-
tremely brisk and prices have huctu-
ated to an alarming degree by the
vigorous counter efforts OF bulls and
bears to control the market. Rumors
to the effect that amateur detectives
had their finger marks on several
we'll known dealers and were about
to swoop down on them and their
chewing gum thus threatening to
make the article scarce, forced the
market up like a rocket last week.
The upward tendency was also &C.
tolerated by telephone from Olaa
stating that Chinese labor was in
great demand, and the planters
themselves were "hitting the pipe"
in their leisure moments, The pres
ence in town of two or three dis
reputable Olaaites strengthened the
report as we'll as sthe fact that the
detectives were rolling their eyes in
a way that betokened preternatural
wisdom. On Sunday night, however
a "sealer" dropped anchor in ouI
harbor, and the bulls were ruined

passed back and forth between ship

Mr.. Robertson objected to the
system which encourages police Off

There are, however, many other
instances where the bad system of
the Police Department is made
prominent. Yesterday two Chinese
caused the arrest OF a lieutenant Of
the police force on charge OF as

nese engaged private attorney to

The Marshal of the Republic also
appeared, presumably to watch the
case of his subordinate, Ignoring
the attorneys for the complainants
he arose, however, and stated to the
Court that he had Investigated the
case and that he, although admit
ting that the officer had been too
rough, desired to enter a nolle prose-
qui, which OF course was granted.

Pops VS.. Popocrats.

The Populist monetary theory is ex.
pressed in the address delivered yesterday
by the retiring president of the Reform
Press Association, is wild in the extreme,
but there is consistency in it's wildness.
In this it differs from the Popocratic the
ory of Bryan ct al.
The Populists hold that money is entire
ly creature of legislation; that the stamp
OF the Government will make good dol
lar out of a strip of paper worth but ii
small fraction of a cent. Therefore they
can see no need of wasting time over the
respective merits of gold and silver as
money material. Let the Government,
they say, take few dollars worth of pa
per and print sufficient number of mill
ions of dollars to raise the per capita to
500 or such matter. and thus conquer the
demon of hard times. If we accept the
Populist premises. as to the potency of the
Government fat, the Populist conclusion
that the money metal or redemption
money" is of no consequence. is inevita-
BILE.
How different is the logic of the Popo-
Gratis! They claim that the fat can make
a hundred-cent dollar out of 40 cents
worth of silver bullion. and then they
shrink from the consequences of their own
proposition and demand the redemption
of paper issues in coin.-Memphis Scimi-
tar Oem.).

Bryan Becoming a Plutocrat.

Mr.. Bryan is likely to become bloated
plutocrat. He is making money. as is
said, "hand over fist" When he was
nominated he was receiving $50 per week
for writing more or less able editorials
for an Omaha newspaper. Everything
was so dark and forbidding that he was
desirous of getting position as advance
agent for a travelling thea trical troupe,
which might have paid him $50 per week.
Now he is beginning to roll in wealth.
His book is bringing him an income Of
more than $1oO day and his publisher
would be glad to buy his interest in the
work for $4,000. Meanwhile, he picks
up stray lecture dates at $500 a night.
From a financial point of view tho
world is going very well with him. Money
comes rolling in in a constant stream.
He still affects to be one of the masses,
but evinces no purpose to divide with the
struggling masses" over whom he wept
when he went about campaigning in '9G

Don't Fight the Capital that You
Need at Home,

President Ripley, of the Santa Fe Rail-
road, in a recent memorial to the Kan
sas Legislature, said:
Meantime, do not advertise to the
world that invested capital is unsafe in
Kansas, or that resort to the courts is
necessary to protect the rights of citizens
against unreasonable demagogues or hon
est but mistaken agitators who imagine
wrongs that have no existence. and be-
lieve that the interests of the State can
be advanced by driving away capital or
confscating the property of others" He
further shows that in ten years-from
Jan. /, 1887, to Jan. 1, 1S97-the market
value of the stocks of the four chief rail-
way systems of Kansas (the Union Pa
cific, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and
Atchison) suffered a loss of over $780,
600, 900, and as to the larger part of them
there has been no income whatever for
MANY wears,

FOUR TARIFF SCHEDULES.
They Are Very Satisfactory to the
Farmers of the Country.

They Are Very Satisfactory to tho
Farmers of the Country.
If we may judge by the four schedules
already completed. it is safe to predict
that the new tariff law will be an ade-
quate response to public sentiment as reg
istered at the polls on Nov 3. While the
rates of duty are still subject to change
before the committee reports the bill in
the Fifty-ffth Congress. the purpose of
the tariff makers to provide distinctly
protective measure is very clearly indi-
Gated.
This purpose is more apparent in the ag-
ricultural schedule than in any other This
schedule is regarded by many as the most
important feature of the new tariff. af-
fecting, as it does, the greatest of all in
dustries in this country. 1t is safe to say
that the interests of husbandry will be
guarded, not only in the imposition of the
Mckinley duties on agricultural products
out IN the enlarged foreign markets for
our domestic products that will be secured
through the reciprocity feature of the
law. Having suffered the most heavily
from the Wilson tariff law. the farmer
will receive more benefit from the tariff
legislation of 1897 than any other. pro-
ducer ~.

Mckinley Is a Man of the People.

With each succeeding day we have fresh
evidences of Mr.. McKinley's determina-
ton to revert to the practices of such
Presidents as Grant, Arthur and Harri-
son, and to step aside from the new de-
parture inaugurated by Mr.. Cleveland.
With each succeeding day we are
strengthened in the belief that Mr.. Nc
Kinley finds the customs of the Presi-
dents, from the beginning down to 1885,
good enough for him.
We have already expressed our gratifi-
cation at finding that Mr.. Mckinley has
confidence enough in his fellow-citizens to
leave the White House guards behind and
walk about the public streets like any 9TH
er human being. We now find that he is
capable of going in person to a hospital
to visit one of his close friends unhappily
sojourning there as the victim of an acci-
dent Mr.. Mckinley, in fact, appears to
be as kind-hearted as he is unostentatious.
not at all disposed to segregate himself
from the human race, or to repudiate the
simple ties of friendship and affection
The illustrious position to which he has
been elevated does not change his dispo-
sition or fill him with ashing-
ton Post.

Industries Are Improving.

Dun's Review, a very high authority
and an absolutely fair one, in recent
article on the condition of the industries
of the country says:
There is very general increase in the,
working force, more establishments hav-
ing started in the iron and steel manufac-
ture. in the boot and shoe and the woolen
manufacture, in the coke works. and in
many minor branches, while the curtaii-
ment in cotton manufacture is well OBJ
served, but is in part balanced by the
starting of some mills not affected by the
agreement 4 strike of tanners of Chi
cago is the only labor difficulty of much

Farmers Are the Wealth Producers

1t is a matter OF interest to Know WHAT
our leading crops are worth. The esti-
mates of the Department of Agriculture
give the following values of eight of the
principal agricultural products of the
United States in 1896: Corn, at 2l.5
cents per bushel. $49O,O 100000; hay. at
S6.55 per ton. S3SS, 146.OO wheat. at
1875 cents. $31O. .6O3, 900: oats. at 1871
cents, $132, ,4s5, 900: potatoes, at ESQ
cents. STE. 1872 900; barley, at 1913 cents.
S22. .491 600; rye. at 400 cents, $9,961,-
600: and tobacco. at 6 cents per pound.
S24. .25S,O 900, making a total of $1.451,-
10000. In other words, the farmers OF
this country raised in one year these eight
articles to a value about 3O,O00.OOO
greater than our total interest-bearing
and non-interest bearing national debt at
the end of 1896.
