Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital For two months
he had the best of medical attendance but
when he was discharged he Was not like the
Major Bishop of old.
When asked regarding his health, he said:

The modest story OF the daring eX-
plot OF HObSOn and his men, IA re-
lated 10y the young hero himself, will
he found elsewhere. The particulars
add to the marvelousness OF the I'M
dertaking, and ii seems nothing less
than miraculous that any OF the sever
escaped alive under the rain of shot
and shell from the Spanish forts and
fleet. The hero expressed great sur
prise at the exceptional promotion
that awaited him. Surely, remark
able Judgment was exercised for one
so young. Had they made a hasty
move while in their p%erilous position
not one would have been left to tell
tie story, Ii was a deed that will
live throughout the ages to come.

Asked To give his views on silver. he
said: As for the silver question.
there is but little to say. There will

All OF which il true. The silver ques-

The 1ud Geyser's Grievance.

With characteristic crookedness
and dishonesty the editor of the Mud
Geyser has commenced his abuse of
the new Republican land officials,
just as he did when Messrs. Berg and
Cook were in charge of the office.
Not a week passed then that he did
not heap the phials of his wrath up
on these officers because they would
not recognize him in the matter OF
land proofs. He has the same griev-
ance now. He knows that the new
incumbents are men who will show
no favoritism and conduct the affairs
of the office in a straightforward,
business-like manner. but, like a
whipped cur, he whines because the
Democratic organ has lost the pat
ronage OF which it had absolute con-
troll for nearly three years. During
all this time the ARGUS did not get
one final proof, nor did it ask for a
line or a dollars worth of patronage.
We simply took u medicine good
naturally, as every Democratic paper
in this state, aside from the local or.
gan, is now doing. Furthermore,
not a line OF abuse or detraction was
against Messrs. Bilger and
Barnes in their official capacity; but
the other hand many things COM
.plimentary % them as officers were
inserted in our columns, as they will
concede. 1t was not until the in
came to Register Hilger in
OF last year, designating the
ARGUS as the official paper OF the
land district, that we eX-
or received any of the bust
ness. 1t is true, no such instructions
came to the office after Clevelanu's
inauguration, and what Register
Berg would have done in that event
we do not know. Nor do we know
in ease such instructions should come
to them upon the inauguration of a
president. That is aeon
tingency that will be met when it ar
But one thing is sure; should

we will accept the result, so far
as it affects us, with good grace.
AS regards the price for the publ
of proofs, it is lower in this
district than in any other i'm the
state and only 81 above the price in
and the Dakotas.

Maj. Bishop has had unusual experience
in that line of work and probably few are so
well qualified to speak intelligently of it
as he. For the greater part of his life he
has been engaged in water ways, and is one
of the oldest and best known civil engineers
north of the Ohio river.
Commencing in 1850, he was fora number
of years an assistant engineer for the Hud-
son River Railroad, and later held like posi-
tons with the Genesee Valley Canal, New
provement and Railroad Co.

FRAUD N THE PETITION


The second point raised is that the
ages of ffty-three males and 29S fe-
males have been fraudulently chang
ed from lower to higher figures.
The third point is that the sigma
lures of over 1900 of the adult peti-
TONERS are not original This is to-
tai of clear cases. and there are hun
dreds of others which appear to he
in the same class.
One Royalist. who was formerly a
member of the Legislature. not only
signed eleven other names than his
own on one page, according to the re-
port, but contributed an entire page
to the women's petition. The page
contained sixteen names. many of
which are repeated on other pages Of
the etition.
At, one point in the women's petit
ton three pages, 1876 names. are in one
handwriting, and a little further one
IFS names are contributed in one PEN
manship
The fourth fact is based upon the
evidences of changes i'm the ages of
petitioners. and that in many cases
numerals were put in the column pur-
porting to show them not only in diff
ferent handwriting. but in different
colored ink or pencil from that in
which the name is signed. In some
instances entire pages have numerals
in round numbers in black ink, when
the names were written with a lead
pencil.
The closing point raised by the
commissioner who analysed the peti
ton impungns the motives of the Of
ticers of the Hawaiian Patriotic
League, who countersigned each page
of the big petition. II. Enoch John
son, secretary. and James X. Kaulla.
president. of the Mems League, and
Mrs. Lila Aholo, secretary. and Mrs.
Is. Campbell, president. attested the
genuineness of the memorial.
In addition to this information the
anneNationists have also, they claim

I played by the sugar trust in stirring
