disability or rank will not be favor
ably considered" The reason for this
rule Is obvious. It is not desirable to
put premium upon private pension
legislation by making It's rewards high
er than the claimant might hope to
get through the regular channels.
The sixth regulation Is that bills
granting pensions by private act to
children or other descendants of SOL
diers or sailors will not be considered"
Several daughters of soldiers of the
Revolution and of the War Of 1872
nave already been placed on the pen
sion roll. Congress believes 1t is time
to call halt, especially in view Of
the fact that seventy-1ve such claims
are now pending before the commit
tee Of the house. It is related that q
man came to Washington a few days
ago to confer with the senate commit
tee on pensions in regard to getting a
private bill through on the ground
that he was the orphan child" OF a
soldier Of the War of 1872; he acknowl-
edged that he was In comfortable
circumstances and had reached the age
Of siNty-f1ve. Among the daughters
Is Della Stewart Parnell, a daughter
Of naval officer Of the War Of 1872,
and mother of the late Charles Stew
art ParnelL. She received $50 month.
The last Of the new code of rules
adopted provides that where depend
ency is required to be shown it must
be by affidavit Of disinterested per-
sons, except that when members of
congress introducing such bills have
personal knowledge Of the facts their
written statement may be accepted"
This may seem like a peculiar conces-
sion to members Of congress, but in
reality 1t Is restriction of their privf-
leges in that they are henceforth re-
quired to state in writing that they
have personal knowledge Of the de-
pendent condition of the claimant, in
stead Of merely walking into the COM
mittee room and saying off-hand: st
know this case Is all right; he needs
it." In future the congressman must
tell that part Of the story in writing,

DOLE STEPS ON SHORE.
Welcomed to the United States by
the Governor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. II. - When
President Dole, of Hawaii, landed from
the steamship Peru this morning, he
was not received with the ceremony
BETTING the ruler of foreign country.
The Peru arrived shortly after o'clock
last night, and the quarantine regula-
lions were not waived in favor Of the
visiting president, so he remained on
board all night. When the steamer
locked this morning, President Dole
was greeted by the Hawaiian consul
and few friends, but there were no
representatives Of the United States
government to formally welcome him.
The customs officials passed the bag
gage Of himself and family, without
inspection, and that was all Owing
to the fact that the steamer came in
after dark, last night, no salute was
fired by any of the forts around the
bay.
1t was 11:3O before President Dole
and party had landed and arrived at
the Occidental hotel. President Dole
promptly received a delegation of news
paper men who were waiting to see
him, and spoke freely of his mission
here: 81 do not come to the United
States to work for annexation. [ am
merely on a friendly visit to this coun-
try, and its president. I expect to re-
main in San Francisco three or four
days. when I will start direct for
Washington, and will then call upon
President Mckinley. 1t was thought
best by the Hawaiian government that,
j. a.
alton treaty. I had better be in
Washington and advise the Hawaiian
legation on certain matters 1t is not
my intention to make any argument
or do any lobbying for annexation. or
course, If L am called upon by the
United States government to give any
information, 1 will readily do so.
am also interested in the form Of gov
eminent to be adopted for Hawaii in
case of annexation.
''The treaty provides for the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate
and decide upon the government for
Hawaii Pending a report of the COM
mittee, Hawaii will probably be re-
garded as a territory. and President
Mckinley will appoint governor. Ger
tain changes viii have to be made at
once in the present form Of government
for the islands, and 1 might be able to
advise the Hawaiian legation as to
these changes"
President Dole. continuing, said: al
think the sentiment of the people Of
the islands is more than ever in favor
Of annexation. To be sure, there are
some who are different, and
others who are opposed to annexation,
but no one really knows just how
many"
President Dole IS accompanied by
Maj. Iaukea, of his personal staff; Col.
Fisher Of the Hawaiian army. and DR..
Day. his physician.
Late this afternoon Gen. Shafter and
his staff. in full uniform, made their
official call upon President Dole at his
hotel and were received by Mai. Tau
kea, Col. Fisher and Mr.. Day. each
of whom was Respondent with gold
lace. prior to being admitted to the
presence of the distinguished visitor
who was most cordially welcomed by
Gen. Shafter on behalf OF the govern
ment Of the United States The pro-
ceedings were entirely formal and after
the usual exchange of courtesies the
representative Of the government left.

The royaltsts, having reached the con-
clusion that the United States senate
will do nothing for the ex-queen in a
financial way, are Of the opinion that
her best move would be to make an eff
fort to induce the Hawaiian legislature
to grant her a pension. Since Princess
Kaiulani is in receipt OF money from
this government, they claim that Llili-
uokalant can easily succeed in making
a suitable arrangement to all concern

Board of Public Works.


Board of Public Works.
The board Of public works yesterday
directed the clerk to call in property
owners in the matter Of boulevarding
Carroll street, between Cleveland and
Wheeler avenues. The order directing
the boulevarding Of Holly avenue, be-
tween Western avenue and Dale street
was laid over until an opinion could be
secured from the corporation attorney,
as to whether property owners other
than those abutting the proposed i'm
provement, could sign a petition for the
same. It appears that owners on the
avenue, not included within the points
to be boulevarded, had signed the petit
ton. Property owners in the vicinity
OF Hatch, Argyle, Churchill, Oxford and
Front streets, will be called in by the
board to determine what should be
done in the matter Of abating nusances
OF stagnant water. On the streets men
toned, there are several depressions,
inside the property lines, and these fill
up with water in the spring and sum-
mer, and according to the health off,
Ger, are very unhealthy.
The board confirmed estimate No. 5
for cement sidewalks. amounting to
$2,635.O8, and the clerk was instructed
to give confirmation notice. The pay
rolls of the street and sewer force for
the two weeks ending Jan. Is, amount
ing to $1.476.75. were approved.

TANNER ON THE WAR PATH.

Corporal Tanner, God-help-the-sur-
plus" Tanner, commissioner of pen
sions, and pension attorney after Har-
rison choked him off that job, profess
sional old soldier and the old soldiers
professional friend, is hot after Com
missioner Evans. The latter sees that
something must be DONE but does not
want to offend the soldier vote. So
he makes scapegoat of the pension at
torneys. He says they are sharks; that
it is they who have seduced the poor
old soldiers and beguiled them into ap-
plying for pensions to which they never
dreamed they were entitled: who have
stuffed the rolls and grown fat on the
millions they have drawn in fees He
wants congress to abolish them and let
the bureau deal directly with appIi-
cants.
And now comes the valiant and pulls
SAINT corporal and vows vengeance. He
will deprive the Republican party of
$1,000, 600 votes if pension attorneys are
demolished and abolished. Who but
they secured for the old soldiers all
these progressive pension acts? Who
but they reused public sentiment, work
ed the press and congress, watched
legislation, manufactured sentiment,
denounced Cleveland and scorched

because Dingley has slaughtered the

We do not believe President Mckinley is

STILL PUTTING 1T ON THE STATE

STILL PUTTING H ON THE STATE.
Recently we called attention to the
prevalent disposition Of state officials
to unload upon the state treasury the
expenses attending their junkets We
cited several instances, some quite re-
cent, in illustration. We find another
fresher instance in the expense bill Of
the state prison for December. There
was a gathering of the wardens Of
state prisons in Austin, Tex, last fall.
They met as other persons engaged in
other vocations do, for consultation,
discussion of matters cognate to their
work, presumably for their personal
Improvement; just as manufacturers
get together, as our state teachers do,
as the stock and dairy men recently
did. There is no law requiring our
warden to go to these meetings; they
are not public affairs having public
duties to perform; just simply social
affairs, having a good time and Incl
dental personal benefit as their objects
We find that J. s. O'Brien,
chairman of the board Of pris-
on trustees, felt the need of the
Improvement that would follow his at
tendance, went down there with War
den Wolfer, and that each of them
turned in an expense account, duly
audited we presume, for $1O5.2S, or
$21O.56 in ALL
Where is the authority for all these
junkets? Where is the law that re-
quires these officials to visit educa-
tional charitable. penal and other
Congresses" at the expense of the
state? And, If there is any such
absurd law, is it not about time that
a legislature was elected that would
wipe it off the books? If wardens and
prison trustees and reform school man.
ayers can go off to these meetings.
why not Others? Are not teachers
pense their attendance on Institutes,
summer training schools and state
meetings on the treasury? And why
stop there? Aren't doctors and den
lists, lawyers and BARRIERS, plumbers
and horseshoers also under the care of
the state? Do they not perform duties
Of public nature. They, too, have
their convocations, their national con-
crosses, for their personal improve
ment; why not let them expense the
state also? Editors are doing a public
work, and they like their vacations as
well as other mortals. If this pay
ment of the expenses of these others
is right and proper, why not the ex-
penses Of the editors when they come
up to their state meetings or go off
on their excursions? Is O'Brien or
Wolfer or Mr.. and Mrs. Brown and
the other training school officials who
went to Toronto any better than the
men who run country newspapers? If
we are to have this sort of thing 60
on forever, then let it be extended to
cover every one.

round himself with Notifications and
encircle his house with laundering can
non, and, if the strong heart and the
courageous arm be not within, these
defenses are as usless as the walls OF
Jericho. Where the manhood Of the
float in triumph. We know Of no more
insulting comparison to our people than
that which places us upon a level with
China, or even with the monarchies of
Europe, that we have SO long decried,
and tells us that, unless we prop our
institutions with an imitation of their
military and naval strength, we can
not survive. 1t is a falsehood and a
that every patriot should spurn indig-
nantly. If such advice is followed, 1t
can lead us only into deeper slough
than that occupied by Europe's most
fallen nation.
We do not need to guess, indeed,
whittier it leads. Already one Ameri-
can newspaper has been found to car
ry the argument to it's legitimate close.
The Illustrated American, which Is a.
champion of annexation and fortifica-
lions and a navy that could beat any
thing on the seven seas, adds that the
United States must have an army equal
to that of Germany before it can feel
secure. That Is the new policy-the
policy of the jingoes, the policy Of the
despotisms Of Europe, the policy that
denies and tramples upon everything
great and noble in American history.
1t tells US that the. American people
cannot hold their liberties, as they have
always done, by the courage of man
hood and their own fidelity, but that,
like the kings who trample and the
emperors who Cypress, they must load
upon a free people the burden Of vast
military and naval establishments, and
make the United States weak imita-
ton Of Europe. We reject this utterly
as false and slanderous, and we point
to it, the legitimate and necessary con-
clusion Of the lingo policy and the an
neXation argument, as a proof that
these people and these policies are de-
generate sons Of worthy sires, depart
ers from and traitors to the most glori-
Gus ideas of the republic, and pro-
motors only Of It's decay.
