The Tombstone Prospector has the
following in regard to the prospects of
the cattle industry: Cattlemen in the
southern section are feeling in the best
CT humor over the fact that the grasses
are showing up we'll under the infn-
ence of heavy winter SHOWS and rains.
Besides, they are arm in the belief that
good prices will prevail. Buyers are
docking in and the prospects are excel
lent for spring delivery of yearlings at
500, and two and three-year olds at $25
and $50.

A bill has passed the lower House Of
Congress which provides for "the bet
ter control of and to promote the safe
ty of national banks" Secretary Gage,
and Wall street, want to grant national
banks more power. They want to turn
the entire monetary system of the coun-
try over 10 them. Want 10 retro the
green backs, and all other evidences of
Indebtedness issued by the government.
Wants the government to surrender its
constitutional right to control the mon
etary system to national banks, while
the report Of the comptroller shows
that ninety per cent of the failures Of
national banks, are due to the absorp-
ton Of the banks funds by is officers.
These paragOns of hOnOrand integrity,
who are continually bowling for "hon-
est money" "sound money" are about

Senator Hoar, of the puritanical state
Of Massachusetts, has introduced bill
in the Senate to prohibit gam bling in
the territories. We scarcely think the
bill will pass, for the reason that it is a
well known fact that nino-tenths Of the
members of Congress indulge occa-
sionally in a game of draw poker and
are sometimes found fighting the tiger.
But, if it should pass it would prove 3
detriment to this territory. There would
be more gambling going on than at
present and the territory would be de-
pfived Of the revenue il now receives
from that source. Gambling would be
carried on secretly instead Of openly.
and many would be found trying their
fortunes who now resist the temptation
through fear of public opinion. We
believe it would result injuriously IN
two respects-the number Of gamblers
would be increased and the addition
would come from 8 class Who might be
seriously injured by its Indulgence and
the territory would lose a considers bIe
proportion of its present revenue

The following extract from the speech
of J. a. n Norton, of Ohio, in the nation
al House of Representatives, is worthy
the careful consideration of every true
Americau:
"Mr Speaker: For years under the
blanket and darkness of sophistry and
denial, your party kept concealed the
facts concerning the most unholy con-
spiracy ever organized against free
people; hut it is now known positively
and beyond the question of doubt
that the Act of 1878 demonetizing sill
yer in all its parts, phrases, methods
and its purposes, was Of English origin
and design. The records cf the British
Parliament disclose this fact; denial of
it is to no purpose longer. Treason and
rebellion against the government are
minor crimes compared with this crime,
and the men who aided and abetted this
one crime inspired by England are more
o be despised than the other Treason

INTERESTING READING.

We have before us very interest
ing volume, the author of which is
our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. d.
NJ. Horner, of Hawaii. The book
deals with National Finance and
Public Money; settling the Money
question; Government Ownership OF
Railroads and Telegraphs and
finishing with a sketch OF the per-
soual history Of the author
The book, which is printed by the
Hawaiian Gazette Co., and contains
279 pages, will be of interest to all
who have studied questions relating
to national economy, The financial
ideas OF Mr.. Horner may be con
sidered bizarre, and oven absurd by
those who differ from his views, and
he may be called a "crank" and
other pleasant things by people who
never have taken the trouble to
study the question of national
finances, but there are many sound
remarks and many wise ideas in his
book, which show on every page
the earnestness and careful study Of
the author. To the ordinary reader
the sketch OF Mr.. Horner's personal
history will be OF great interest, and
we think that every school and col
lege should procure copy and
read to the young people the history
Of an old man, who since his youth
has been supported by persistency
of character, faith in the Almighty
that never have been shaken by the
reverses, he from time TO time have
encountered.
"If you have health, strength aud
youth at command" writes Mr..
Horner, "you are in possession OF
the most valuable earthly blessing
possessed by man. They are bless
ings that scores of people would
willingly pay you million dollars,
for, if you could deliver the goods.
But fortunately, this kind of wealth
cannot be bought or sold; and if you
properly use it, every earthly COM
fort is within your reach. Don't be-
afraid OF working yourself to death,
rust consumes faster than labor
wears If hard work of head and
hands was killing, l should have
been dead at least twenty years ago,
instead of now being hale and hearty
at the age Of seventy-seven."

Instead OF asking the people to
reduce their supply OF milk for the
benefit OF the sick soldiers at the
military hospital, we would suggest
to the commissariat department,
that it purchases milch COWS and
thus procure sufficient and pure
milk for the patieuts. Cows can be
easily obtained on this island or
from the ranches on Hawaii and
Maui, and there is ample pasturage
on the grounds adjoining the bospi-
tai. II the United States hasn't
got money to buy few cows, we
recommend the use OF the different
brands OF condensed milk and
cream. If those preparations are
good for the stomach of a child,
they must be suitable for the diges-
tion of sick man. The commits

a very interesting statement of the

Secretary Howell, of the Treasury.
Owing to war expeditures in the last
quarter, there was deficit Of $38, ,047-
247 for the year. That was OK course
to be expected. But the most insterest-
ing portion of the statement to those
who contended that the Dingley tariff
law would produce all revenue needed
to run the government is showing that
for the last five months-February to
June, inclusive of the fcal year, the
Dingley tariff law produced revenue
exceeding our ordinary expenditures on
a peace footing by more than $4,000, 900

Our contemporaries have little to say In
regard to that great revenue getter, the
Dingley act, which in time Of peace was
making deficits, and in time of war, with
the increased receipts from internal reye-
nue., allows the government to fall in ar
rears about $50, ,OOO, 900 each month. .-Lewes
Pilot.
Whether LeWes Pilot Is in any way
related to Pontius Pilate. we know not,
but this we do know, one was about as
far from right as the other, the differ
ence being that the senior meant well
but didn'6 know better, while the jun
ior knows better but doesn't mean so
well. The Republican press has been
very good in keeping their readers post
ed on the excellent work this measure
has accomplished. In fact the Union
has been SO much pleased with the ex-
cellent workings of the Dingley act
that some of our Democratic readers
have indirectly sent us word to please
give them rest along that line. But
war has upset most all calculations, but
the lesson that figures teach Us by
treasury experts is that the high tariff
Of 1917 is producing enough revenue to
pay all the ordinary expenses of the
government in time Of peace. When
Mr.. Cleveland was in the saddle the
deficit was over $3.50, 100000. The
Dingley law is now yielding about $780,
O0O.0OO Of revenue year more than
the Wilson law. In spite of the de-
creased imports on account Of the war,
the law has produced a surplus in the
last few months, if we do not take into
account the extraordinary war expend-
itures. The daily receipts are now over
million dollars day, and in ordinary
times would be laying up a surplus.
Democrats who know what the Ding
ley law is doing are mum on the Sub
iect. Those who neither know or care
what they say can keep on talking
