MILLION DOLLARS ON HAND FOR
PUBLIC USES.
Hawaii has Cash Above Her Public
Observation-Disclosures Tax Re-
turns.

The auditors statement for Novem-
Der of the financial condition of the
government is being generally COM
mented upon in town. There are some
remarkable showings in it. One is the
returns from taxes for the month,
which are nearly $4,000 more than
for November and December of last
year. 1t is given as cause increase
in taxes over 1897 and better collec-
tions.
The treasury balance from current
receipts on December 1st was $685.
005.31. This is against $245,111.4O at
the same date last year. There is
also a cash balance in the loan fund
of $37 7,s02.52, bringing the total bal
ance on hand up to over $7OO,OO0.OO.
The total current receipts for the
month of November. 1897. were 373.-
1874. and for the same month of
1898, $629. .566.15.
The last issue of bonds. $346. 100000,
is not figured in the report, but as the
money has been neither received nor
spent, it presents an even sheet.
The total Indebtedness of the Ha-
waiian Islands on December 1st was
4,441 ,379.10. Four million of this is
TO be assumed by the United States.
Subtracting the balance, which repre-
sents the true debt of the country, i'm
future, from the current receipts bal
ance. it is seen that Hawaii has on
hand, above her Indebtedness. the
sum of S226,626.21.
Not in ten years or more have the
finances of the country been in as
good shape as they are at this mo-
ment. The change in governments
will diminish receipts somewhat, but
expenses in certain departments will
also be diminished The principal
revenues to go to the central govern
ment are those realized from the GUS
tome and postofiice departments. Re
turns from these sources in Novem-
ber We're: Customs, S95,267.31; post
office, S6,942.2S, or a little over S1O2 900
The new year will find the treasury
department i'm excellent working or.
der With well on toward three.
quarters of a million in current re.
ceipts and nearly "A half million in the
loan fund there is hardly a prospect
that public improvements will suffer
for lack of available cash.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

Colonel Macfarlane says the destruc-
tion of the Baldwin hotel, instead of
being the ruin of Lucky" Baldwin,
may be his financial salvation. The
talk in San Francisco when he left
was that under existing conditions,
with the movement of business up
Market street, the land on which the
building stood is worth more vacant
than it was with the old building on
it. There was rumor afoat that
Claus Spreckels was looking over the
situation with a view to purchasing
the land and putting up a modern
building on it.

A Story OtG. A Sala.

In 1885 the late Mr.. G.. A. Sala made a
journey to Australia. A few days after
he landed in Melbourne venerable lady
called upon him at Menzies' hotel and in
formed him that she had held him in her
arms at the baptismal font. She was very
talkative and very nice, and Mr.. Sala
gave her something. But, oddly enough,
il chanced that dining that self-same
evening at Government house with the
then Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry
Loch Mr. Sala incidentally alluded to the
visit paid him by the nice old lady. Dear
mel! quoth His EXcellency, "a nice old
lady, such as you describe called on ne
a short time after my arrival in the col

held me in her arms at the baptisnal

Stock exchange today especially those
properties, including local traction lines,
which Were most benefited by the mar
kcts buoyancy yesterday Prices opened
with fractional appreciations in sym

dtcly both ways, but buying slightly
more than sold. Large operators were
not very active in the local market until
the late trading. There appeared to be
general undertone of strength in the
early transactions but the temper grad
ually changed and ruInor monSers were
not idle. Among other efforts to derress
the market there was circulated an TN

minister to Spain had sought the protec-
ton of the British embassy at Madrid

into it all the brains of Grover Cleveland

was as tame as a dog. He had one
evil habit of which 1t was impossible
to break him-he was fond of chickens
and would devour the farmers poultry.
When the VOLTS food was brought to
hime he would scatter it about him and
then lie down with his head in his fore
paws, feCning sleep. Soon the hens
would surround him to eat his food,
and woe to the one that came within
reach of his paw. She was devoured
in a minute. For this crime the wolf
was condemned to death. Wakely fred
a charge of shot at the wolf, but only
wounded him, and the beast ran to

men followed the wolf two miles, and

into thicket, and the hunters, think
