Of the arbor.
The first Of the series of reports on
examination of the books of various
departments came in from the Finance
Committee. The report received was
on the Marshal's Office and treated the
subject extensively, going into the
details Of the hooks of the Marshal's
Office and OF tie Jail, a careful exam
iRation Of which had been made by an
expert. Several features Of the meth
ods Of keeping books and the balanc-
ing OF cash accounts were condemned
by the expert The committee stated
that the changes had been made and
mat the accounts of the present period
would be kept differently. The com
mittee went at .seme length into the
perquisite system in vogue in the Mar
shal's Office Some time in March the
committee asked the Attorney Gen
eral for information on the subject
and he in turn asked the Marshal, who
replied quoting various sections Of Law
as authority for retaining a portion
of the revenues Of the office.
During the last period the committee
reported, something like $500 was Te-
ceived in the 4IarshaI's Office as per
uuisites- One Of the sources has been
the fees Tor sealing weights ana mea-
sures. A bill passed by the Senate
several days since directs the payment
Of these fees in the treasury as Gov
eminent realization. The report was
listened to with interest. It was re
oeiyed and placed or fila to be conBid-
cred later.
A preliminary report was also made
OF the Finance Department. The Gem
mi5tee found that there was $4,000 IN
the treasury under an ot of 1864 which
provided thst moneys received from
sale of land should be used either to
puIoase other lands or be retained as a
sink ng fund for the payment Of bonds
due. The committee recommended
that It be so applied.

NAL School.

An adjourned meeting Of the Board
of Agriculture was held yesterday
afternoon in the Interior Office, Hon.
H, E. Cooper presiding. The full
Board was present.
A proposition of the Hawaiian offer
ing the Board free use Of its columns
for information was accepted.
The recommendation OF the secre-
tary as to thinning the forest was ap-
proved, and he was instructed to re-
quest the Minister of the Interior to
advertise for tenders for cutting such
wood as was necessary for thinning
the forest, and for the frewood so OBJ
tanned.
The request of the Secretary cor
draining the Government nursery was
complied with and he was instructed
TO have the Minister of Interior see
that the work was done at once
The recommendation of Prof Koe-
belle that all coffee seed introduced
from abroad should be disinfected to
prevent the introduction of fungus
diseases, was adopted.
In the matter Of adopting the prac-
tice Of the Ceylon botanical gardens,
in charging the cost Of production Of
plants distributed, the Board decided
not to take action at present.
The expression of Prof. Edgar Wood
for the Introduction of instruction in
horticultural work for the students in

proved by the Board, and some action
will be taken at once.
Secretary CIark's recommendation
that tracts of land suitable for the
purpose of forest growing be leased in
small areas to proper persons, on con
diJion that said land should be plant
ed to forest trees not less than two
hundred to the acre and let in good
growing condition as compensation Tor
the use OF said land, to grow garden,
ana farm products TIL such land would
be fully occupied by the forest trees,
was approved and he was instructed to
have the work undertaken if proper
persons could be found. This win open
small tracts of land on forest reserva-
tons for the use Of those of small
means, enabling them to grow vege-
tables, etc, for their own use and for
the market. as the forest trees win
not occupy but small portion of the
land for three or four years.

of the most widely known men in the
State was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: 81

age to convey any idea of what L
suffered, my physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me and my
friends were fully convinced that no
thing but death would relieve me of
my suffering. In June, 1894, Mr.. Evens,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain's Pain
Balm At this time my foot and limb
were swollen to more than double

RESPONSIBILITY FOR TIE OUTBREAK.

An Indian outbreak in Minnesota has been
suppressed but has cost the lives Of one OK
cellcnt officer and several brave men. To the
country these lives had value; 10 their fam
lilies and friends they were beyond value; ana
vet they were sacrificed because, according to
rcports. n Government official did not keep
his word 1t would be far from right to as
sumo that the worst Of the published accounts
is strictly true. thorough Investigation Will
be necessary TO determine how far one official
mr. another Is in fault But II would be I'M
worthy of the Nation TO treat the lives OF
good soldiers rs not worth question whether
they were sacrificed without reason No civil
lied State hesltates to eXpend large sums 10
fix the responsibility in n single case Of MUIR
der. The life Of a soldier of the United States
Army ought to be as dear TO the Nation and
rs jealousy defended as the life OF any CIVILIAN.
The published report Is that an lndian chlef
was taken from the reservation 10 dis'aht
city to testify In some case there pending, and
that the official who took him away gave MN
a promise that he should he brought back free
Of charge; that the promise was not kept, ana
the chief was compelled to walk n hundred
miles or more without food in order to get
back to his camp When he was sent for again
10 TESTIFY he TelUStu 10 Go, anu an "'''"f' W.
arrest him and take him away by force was
resisted This is the statement published. and
without assuming that 1t is entirely accurate
there Is evidently necessary n searching Off
cial Investigation. If the bad faith Of an OH
cial has cost the country the lives OF faithful
and devoted soldiers the mans guilt Is as great
as If he had committed murder. and the Ma
ton can defend its own honor only by exposing
such an official and driving him out of its SER
vice.
Because Western people do not Ike Indians.
and chcrisl, the feeling that the only good Ind
ian is n dead Indian. there Is proneness to
excuse every act Of injustice or bad faith
toward n red man as If it were not more blame
worthy than broken promise to COW or
thoughtess blow to an OK But the Nation y
honor Is involved. Every act Of bad faith by
one of its official representatives casts dishonor
upon the Nation. and should be resented by II
as keenly and punished as swiftly as an honor
able man would resent personal insult. The
statements in this case may he erroneous but
n searching investigation should he made, not
of the sort sometimes contrlved for the white
washing of officials when the person injured
Is red man or black man. The color Of the
victim is of no consequence The question is
whether a Government official is n white man.
| II Is the honor OF the United States that is at
stake in this matter, MS in every other affect
| ing the treatment Of subjects of the Govern
ment and the peace Of the Nation Is also at
stake for it can he preserved only by good
| faith and fair dealing toward all who have
| anything 10 do with II.

PACIFIC CABLE SCHEMES.

There seems to bc n hitch in the Pacific cable
schemes Or perhaps We may more accurately
say there is n hitch in one and has been IN the
other The latter, TO wit. the British project Is
row said to be In n fair way of realization. Inc
hitch in II has been overcome. II was duc, GU
riously enough. in part to the Admiralty. Tor
whose especial benefit the line was expected to
operate and In part to Canada. whose states
men were last year most eager in promoting 1t.
The nature Of the objections which have de-
layed the construction Of the line will we'll repay
n moments notice.
The Admiralty objected 10 the Pacific cable
because It could, as II thought. more readily use
the Gibraltar and st. Helena line to the .Antlp-
odes. The fact IS. of course. that the latter,
while in some respects highly available, is pecul-
iarly exposed to attack in time Of war. 1t has
many landlngplacc to he guarded and trav
crscs seas that are often shallow and easily nc
ccssible TO the navies OF other Powers. 1t WAS
to give the Admiralty line free from those
points Ct weakness that the Pacific route was
proposed. 1t would have few places Of landing.
and they easily guarded, and II would traverse
deep seas remote from any probable foe. IA
for Canadn. il IL understood that Sir Wlfrid
Laurier objected to the scheme on the score Of
expense OF OF NiIiHuH siEtIc lHt'TPol OT.tl-
nally Canada offered to pay Ono-third, Australia
sia TO pay onet third and Great Britain onc-third.
But Sir Wilfrld demurred and said two ninths
was all the Dominion could possibly assume.
This was regarded as n not altogether rcasOnn
bic attitude. in view OF the exceptional prosper
ity Of Canada at this time and Of the confident
expectation that the cable will DO n profitable
concern from the very outset. The Australia
sian colonies quickly agreed TO guarantee the
one-ninth which Canada wanted 10 get rid Of.
md so that difficulty was overcome The pres
cnt prospect is. therefore. that the British cable
will no laid ut an early date.
We wish might say the same OF the United
States cable but cannot. Two or more schemes
have been preached. but not one seems to he
making any progress. This country is about rs
much interested in transpacifc communication
any in the world. II has. by its annexation
Of Hawaii and its acquisition of Guam under
the terms Of the protocol with Spain. excep-
tiona advantages over any other for laying and
operating such n cable. II will not be to its
credit 10 neglect the task nor TO its political or
commercial profit
