The Government will be politically
foolish if it does not settle this serious
matter of transit now. 1t has an honest
Legislature to deal with. If the matter
is not settled at the present session of
the Legislature, the chances are that
the next Legislature will make ''cats
and dogs of it. 1t will become rich
mine for Doodle, and the community
will pay roundly for it.

about cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla and

NIL YOU LubTic0Ie?
March 10, 1893.

In our imagination we hear
the mighty gasp that asCends
to the clouds from a doubtful
though eXpectant multitude
of thirsty souls. Doubtful,
because of the apparent alb
surdity of such a proposition
coming from us. And yet
we mean every word we
say, and as a new method of
advertising, repeat, "Will you
lubricate?"
We have just received a
large shipment Of the famous
COLORADO brand of Iubri-
cants, which for density of
viscosity, high fire test and
perfect working qualities,
cannot be eXcelled. Here IS
a list of a few specialitieS:
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-03-11

We do not advocate as yet the claim
of any person or persons for new
franchise We must have better facili-
ties, and quick transit. The cOmmun-
ity is desperate. The Tramways Com
pany dumped down on us lot of poor
second hand materially some called
old junk-and we are the sufferers.
The community, often very unreason-
able in its demands, has a just and
reasonable complaint against this COM
pany 1t has not made the best Of its
opportunities. The vast amount Of
water in it's system has handicapped
it. Must the public suffer for it? 1t
now asks the Legislature to give it
everything in sight, but it does not
specify what il will do, and We have,
from experience, the right to suspect
that it may dump down on us another
lot of old junk. An electric system is
like a wagon. 1t may be a cheap John
affair, and be a nuisance. 1t may be
a we'll made affair and last Indefinitely.
line legal rights Oh the 1TdmWdy >
Company must be protected of course.
That goes without saying. Instead of
meeting the difficulties of the situation
in a business-like way, it will simply
make an unreasonable fight, and in the
end will probably be beaten. 1t will
suffer, not from any public injustice,
l,,t fror, tic oup nio-hea badness in
falling to meet the situation.

RAPID TRANSIT.

The Attorney Generals points on the
rapid transit matter are these:
%. There are serious objections to
adding another system. Let the public
wait awhile
Reply: If the people of America
waited awhile for something better to
turn up, there would be no electric car
systems in existence. The plants" of
1850 will be of course, vastly better
than those of today.
(2). The Tramways Company now
occupies some of the best streets. An
other company must take narrow
streets, with many disadvantages.
Reply: We must have rapid tran
sit. If We cannot do the best thing,
let us do the next best thing.
80. Trolly lines disfigure.
Reply: If compressed air, or other
motors are not sufficient, we must sub
NIT to the Disagreement as other COM
munities submit to it. We must have
rapid transit and plenty of it.
(D. Electric systems will injure the
telephone system.
Reply: Any electrical engineer
knows that this can easily be prevent
ed.
90. There are many poor electric
car systems in the United States.
Reply: There are many very good
ones. Let us have a good one.
(6). Washington city has the under
ground electrical system
Reply: That city has a population
of 10000 and can afford it, We can
not 1t costs too much.
CD. II there is a new system allowed
here, it must buy out the Tramways
Company's property.
Reply: That is impracticable. The
Tramways Company will ask the unreal
value Of it's watered stocks and bonds
The Legislature cannot force it to
sell on an appraised valuation. 1t will
never negotiate seriously until it is
confronted by an organized company
holding a franchise.
(S). A new company will complicate
matters.
Reply: We must have rapid transit
Facing complications is an every day
affair

and fixed it at very low figures. They
have found it out.
A little investigation which should
have been made several years ago, will
readily forecast the future market for
our coffees. If Minister Damon will
send twenty bags Of coffee to Crossman
Brothers of New York, with a request
that the coffee be given to the men
who deal in it, by the millions of
pounds, he will quickly find out the
real value of it.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-03-11

The masses, the great consuming
public demand cheap coffee. This de-
mand is met by adulterating it, and
mixing with it, when ground, large
percentage of rye, wheat, peas, or
chicOry. The market value of the
real coffee bean largely lies in its pow
er to flavor these articles used in adul-
teration. 1t is said, that the Hawaiian
coffee has much less strength for this
purpose than either Mocha or Java or
other coffee. Whether the statement
is or is not true, We do not know. The
large purchasers of coffee are the peo-
pie who buy it for mixing and adulter-
alton. Any of the large coffee dealers,
if properly approached will quickly
inform us on this point.

POrters To Replace Passenger
Brakemen On Santa Fe.
1t is Claimed That Better SerV-
ice Will Result.
AN ECONOMICAL MOVE.
General Freight Agent Sargent
of the p. & G. Road Resigns.
System of Pooling Engines to
Be Extended Over CEASE.

A new order, which went into effect last
week on the Santa Fe railway, changes
the head brakeman on passenger trains
from a white brakeman TO a negro por-
ter, on the lines from Newton, Kan, to
Texas. The rear brakeman will be a
white man, as heretofore, and will do all
the hagman work required for the train.
A similar change was made on the Chi
cago end of the line from Chicago to Kan
sas City a year ago. 1t proved satisfac-
tory to the Santa Fee, and now it is to be
tried on the southern line. If it succeeds,
then it is to be made general on the sys-
tenn
In the general superintendent office
the following explanation was made of the
turning down of white brakemen:
In putting a negro where a white man
has been employed, we endeavor to trans
fer the white man TO some other service.
In any event, the order effects only a few
men Many railroads are using negro por-
have all negroes We have a white brake
man each train.
The reason the negroes are taking the
places OF white men in this part of the
tram service IS that they viii do work
Whlte men refuse to perform. In the chair
cars there are soap, towels, brushes and
such things to look after. The seats in
the smoker get dirty and need cleaning.
Many OF them wouldn't, but we never
asked them to. A negro porter expects
to do that kind of work. If a part of a
car needs a little cleaning, he is there to
attend to it. He can call the stations on
part of the train, while the white brake
man serves the other half, and can help
passengers of and on the trains. On the
main line We have car cleaners at Topeka,
Newton and Dodge City. The train STOPS
long enough to give them time to do what
cleaning may be necessary

BASEBALL PROSPECTS
The Fate of the Topeka Team to Be
Decided Tonight

A meeting Will be held at the EIks'
rooms tonight to discuss the base ball
situation in Topeka and decide the
fate of the Topeka team. While it Will
be particularly for the subscribers to
the base ball fund, all interested in hav
ing a team maintained here are in
Vited.
The Atchison and Salina teams have
both disbanded. and unless they are
reOrganized it is a question If cOntin-
uOus playing can be arranged should
the Topeka team be maintained. It is
believed. however, that the two teams
will be reorganized at other points and
neither the Wichita or Ottawa team has
any intention of disbanding.
The Topeka team is now paying ex-
penses. and if games can be arranged
for the entire time, it will probably con
tinue to be as prosperous until the end
of the season.
Arrangements are being made for
three games with Ottawa the last of
this week, and next week the Wichita
team can arrange to be here Sunday
it is proposed to send the Topeka and
Ottawa teams to Junction City for
game, returning to Ottawa to play three
games the first part of next week.
Topeka now has the best team since
the days of tGOldsby's Golden Giants"
and admirers of base ball would like to
see it continued.

"GOOD LUCK FOR sCHLEY.
Missouri Girl Sent the Commodore a
Four Leaf Glover and He Writes.

st. Louis, Aug. 9-Miss West, a pre-
possessing young woman, living at
kirkwOod, Mo, is the proud pOssessOr
of an autograph from Commodore Win
field Scott Schley of the United States
navy The missive is dated Flagship
Brooklyn, off Santiago, Cuba, June 9,
1898 1t was some time reaching its
destination in the St. Louis suburb.
It was a bright day last May when
Miss West, who is a sister-in-law of J.
P. Moore of the Wabash railroad, was
thinking about the fortunes of some of
her young friends in the army near Gu
ba. She noticed two fOur-leaf clOvers
in clunp of grass on one of the vacant
lots. She was familiar with the old
tradition that a four-leaf clover is a
sign of good luck, and the idea suddenly
dawned upon her to pluck them and
send them, with her compliments, to the
leaders of the American navy, who
were most in need of good fortune just
at that time.
She at once thought of Commodore
Schley and Rear Admiral Sampson She
has never seen either, but she admired
both, and she soon made up her mind
that each should have clover and a
letter of congratuIation and good
wishes. She wrote brief notes on her
cards, tied red, white and blue ribbon
around each clover, and mailed to each
commander a card and a clover, in
scribing on the face of the former, be
meath her name, the words, Good
luck"
Rear Admiral Sampson has not yet
acknowledged receipt of the token. but
Commodore Schley lost no time in re-
plying His Acknowledgement is writ
ten in his courteous, characteristic style.
The handwriting is very fine and rather
effeminate. The note is written on good
plain letter paper of the ordinary size,
but bears no mark, other than that
made by the writer, as to whence it
came. Apparently it is not the ships
stationery, but part of that used by
the commodore for his private CORE
spondence.
The letter from Commodore Schley is
as follows:
s.Flagship Brooklyn. off Santiago,
Cuba, June 9, 189S--Dear Miss west;
7 do not recall any attention in my
career that appealed more to me than
the little four-leaf clover and the little
strip of ribbon inclosed with your card.

A "BUMPERv CROP.
Wheat Crop of the United States to
Exceed All Previous Records
by 1OO,OOO,OOO Bushels.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-The Post says: Ac-
cording to reports received by railroad
companies and business men, the larg-
est wheat crop in the history of the
United States will be harvested within
a fortnight. The winter wheat yield,
which aggregates from 375 million to
400 million bushels, will be increased to
the extent of nearly $50 million bushels
from the spring wheat region. The
bumper CROP of 1891 will be eclipsed
this year by 100 million bushels from
present indications.
Reports received from members of
the National Association of Merchants
and Travellers, who are assembling to-
day to attend the fall meeting, afford
positive proof, it is declared, that new
era Of prosperity is at hand throughout
the great west. Railroad officials who
have just come in from extended trips
through the spring wheat and corn
growing states, make equally Optimis-
tic reports. State crop reports reeeiv-
ed today from Kansas and Missouri
and Michigan say: "A bumper crop is
here" And the Pearson-Taft Land
Credit company, which holds So 900, 600
worth of farm mortgages in the west,
has but $17 600 worth of its property
under foreclosure.
