Accidents on the railways running
through plantations are far too fire.
quent. Apparently the laborers do
not understand their danger. The
other day afcouple of japanese were
killed who were trying to brace
against heavy car going along a
down grade. The verdict was acciden-
tai death. But there ought to have
been some one responsible for the
moving and loading of the truck, and
the blame was at that mans door. If
there was no such responsible person
in charge, then the blame lay with
the authority which ought to have
appointed him. In handling cars on
plantations there is altogether TOO
much carelessness and Irresponsible
ty. The story of an accident at La
haina is published today.

Attention has several times been
called to the fact that the tramcars do
not give transfers. The consequence
is that the company frequently goes
on collecting an Illegal five cents fare.
Passengers coming from Waikiki and
getting out at King street to take the
Valley car or vice versa receive no
transfer, ind nine times out of ten are
scowled out of an extra five cents by
the driver, and yet the fare is but ten
cents. OF course those who stick up
for their rights get them, but there
are many people who would rather
pay five cents than have the almost
inevitable row with the driver. To
this class belong women and children,
and it is from these that the extra
fare is collected The case of several
children has been cited, who, if they
have only ten cents for their fare
from Waikiki to the Valley terminus,
will rather walk from King street to
the terminus than stick up for their
rights, and they are not isolated cas-
es. Yesterday upon this same matter
one of the drivers was very insolent
to lady. If transfer tickets were
issued, as they should be, this species
of dragging in a few illegal cents
would be done away with, but then

ADMIRAL DEWEY.

Those who are anxious about Adj
miral Dewey do that commander an
injustice. \ man who could take his
fleet into Manila harbor, silence the
forts at Cavite and annihilate the
Spanish fleet, is not the man to allow
himself to be bottled up in the har-
Dor. Moreover the American squad
ron is not alone and unassisted. The
revolutionists who have been threat
ing Manila for some time past are no
dispicable force to come to his assist
ance, if he needed it. Had the Span
iards got ever so little of a success,
the cable would not be silent, but
would be flashing hectic messages TO
Madrid. and as such messages would
pass through many hands. something
of them would leak out. 1t is wrong
not to have ample faith in Admiral
Dewey.
There was much the same feeling
when Lord Roberts disappeared from
Cabal and was unheard of for a
month, during which time he was
marching upon Candahar. He lad
been annihilated according to the
croakers; it was a foodhardy eXpe-
dition. and elaborate statements were
made to show how it was that he
must be bottled up and annihilated.
The first news heard of Roberts was
that he and his army had gained a
complete victory over the enemy, and
the croallers and the quid nuncs were
utterly routed. The same will prove
the case about the fleet in the Philip
pines
The fact is, unless people have their
war news every five minutes or so, di-
rect from the scene of battle, they
get quite fidgety and demoralized,
and they seem to lose confidence and
trust in their gallant officers and
dauntless fighting men. \ hundred
years ago. before the world was vitiat.

When it comes to voting money and
road the House is unanimous in it's
desire to do all it can for the assist
ance of an enterprise which should
have every support. But when the
question was monopoly of wharf priyi-
leges, the House was of very differ
ent temperament. This shows that the
House is absolutely fair, will help
what it thinks is right and will stand
firmly against what it thinks is
wrong

ECONOMY.

The House will soon be in the midst
of the appropriation bill upon sala-
ries. This, as sent down to it by the
Senate. amounted to considerably Nv
err two million dollars, which is more
than half the estimated income of the
Republic. That the Senate was some
what lavish in its appropriations, all
who have read the bill over will
agree. and it is more than likely that
the House will make some big cuts
in the proposed appropriations where
the Senate has made raises i'll sala-
nv, or where offices seem to have been
unduly multiplied by the Executive.
But since the Senate passed the bill,
the new. Audit Act has been passed
bv both houses. This was Il bill dis
tinctlv i'm the interest of economy
and the improvement and concentra-
ton of the account keeping of all ma
tional disbursements. The response
of the government will be lessened,
and with the lessening of responsible
ity will naturally follow lessening of
salary. Unless the Audit Act is to tell
in the way of economy it had better
have remained unborn. But it will
tell for economy. and the members of
the House should look very carefully
to see that the opportunities for eco
nomy are not lost. no matter in what
direction or how hard those opportu-
mites for pruning may strike. The
House has to consider the Office and
not the incumbent, and no exception
should be made
The necessity for economy must be
patent to every one. When IA country
spends more than half its income up
on its employees alone, it is conduct
ing its business as no private concern
is conducting its operations. AS has
often been pointed out it is our insu-
lar position which necessitates such a
multiplication of officers and offices.
but we seem to be constantly increas-
ing our pay roll as time goes on, and
though there is necessity to spend
somewhat more, still in proportion to
our population we spend a great deal
too much on this one item.
We have population of 100000 peo-
pie, the United States has population
of 70,000,000 of people, which is 700
times greater, therefore, than ours.
We spend over 100000 in salaries
alone, and at the same rate the Unit
ed States would spend 700 times more,
which would amount to the sum of
$1,4OO,OOO,OOO. Now it is plain that it
could not stand that in mere salaries
as an ordinary expenditure. There
would be mighty little left for eXpan-
sion when war expenditure was ask
ed for.
However the constituents may feel
assured that there are men in the
House who have strong views upon
economy. Parsimony is not economy
1t is not wise to cut indiscriminateIy
nor to cut so as to make the force in
efficient for the work to be done, but
there are places where in a private
firm the work would be done with less
force than is required by the govern
ment, and those places should be care
fully scrutinized. The Finance Com
mittee will soon be ready to make
its report, and the results of the work
of its experts is looked for with great
interest both inside and outside the
House

WRECK OF THE "SYMONDS".
Thrilling Story Told by Capt. snow
man Who has Arrived Home.

man. w no mas fNEFbNtN
Capt. w. l.. Snowman, OF the wrecked
Bucksport schooner IN. f. Symonds",
arrived at his home in Bucksport Satur-
day. He tells the following story OF the
wreck:
The .'Symonds" was chartered to the
Boston fruit company to transport young
banana trees from Jamaica to Porto
Grande, on the island of San Domingo
On Jan. /, she lay at anchor off Porto
Grande, making preparations to set sail
for Jamaica. Suddenly terrible norther
swept over the place and continued win
increasing fury all day. Additional an
chors were run out, and the three heavy
ca bes sufiiced to hold the vessel until
O'Clock that night. Then a fearful wave
struck the craft, the cables snapped like
Irvine, and the vessel WAS driven at fu-
rious rate toward shore.
The progress to certain destruction was
checked by hidden reef, and this gave
the crew OF six men an opportunity to
escape in the boat. They rowed through
the terrible surf and made landing.
They had hardly reached the beach when
their vessel, which had pounded over
the obssruct ion, was dashed high up on
the shore with bows crashed, hopeless
wreck.
Almost Immediately there swarmed
from all directions strengthening ma
tives armed to the teeth and ready to loot
the wreck OF everything OF value. They
made menacing gestures at the ship
wrecked sailors, and appeared to be con-
templating an attack on them. Before
this could be done, however, six soldiers
and two policemen appeared, and the ma
tives fled.
The following morning Capt. Snowman
went to Porto Plata and laid his case be-
fore Z. S. Consul Thomas Simpson and
the sailors were safely taken to Porto
Plata. Capt. Snowman remained by the
wreck in an effort to save everything pos
sible, but this amounted to very little, as
only damaged sails, blocks and small
amount OF gear were worth removing.
Capt. Snowman, he mate, Melvin Abb
bolt, and also the captains brother, Eben
L. Snowman, who was cook OF the
schooner, belong in Bucksport. The
"Symonds" was valued at 5000 and was
partially insured.
The "Symonds" enjoyed the distinction
Of being he only three nasted American
schooner engaged in the fishing industry.
She will be remembered as the vessel
which two years ago landed a cargo of
frozen herring at Boston, upon which
Collector Warren imposed duty OF = 200,
which was paid under protest and subse
quently refunded by decision OF the
court.

South Penobscot.
AGNES NJ. PETERS.
The subject of this sketch was born in
Portland Feb. :, 1866, and died at South
Penobscot Jan. 20, 1898.
In the great fire of &c in Portland her
parents were burned out losing nearly
all their household effects. Mrs. Peters
being in poor health took her child and
came to the home OF her sister, Mrs. y. +.
Norton, at South Penobscot, where on
Oct. II OF the same year she passed out
OF this life to join loved ones who had
passed on before.
Agnes, a babe of only nine months, was
cared for by Mr.. aud Mrs. Norton as ten
derby as il she had been their Own, till at
the age of three and one half years she
was taken to Portland by her father for
her education. She remained in that city
until she was about fourteen years of age,
when she returned to her aunt's where
she made her home until her death.
Under the labors of Rev. J. T. Moore
she was converted, and later on joined
the Method Episcopal church. She
remained consistent member to the end.
Ambitious to a fault, and possessing the
highest ideals, she naturally found much
OF disappointment in her brief life. Her
passion for flowers, her love of nature
and Of children brought happiness al
ways. She loved to do for others, and no
sacrifice was too great if she could relieve
suffering, or aid the helpless and poor.
Early in her life her friends saw indica-
tions of the same dread disease, con-
sumption, that caused her mothers
death, and although they advised her,
to spare her from heavy work and care,
she always insisted that she was strong
and perfectly WE'LL even on the day of
her death saying: "Auntie, | know |
should feel better if you would only let
me work more"
Her will power kept her hopeful in her
plans to do for Others when the strange
tired feeiing-that she sometimes spoke of
should pass away. Thus she came to
the end unconscious of the anxiety that
had filled the hearts of her friends for
many weeks the call at last came sudden
ly, but it found her ready.
"Secure from every mortal care,
By sin and sorrow vexed no more,
Eternal happiness they share.
Who are not lost but gone before"
