NOVEL WAYS OF TELLING THE
TIME.

The islanders of the South Pacific
have no clocks, but make a curious
time-maker of their own. They take
the kernels from the nuts of the cam
die tree and wash and string them on
to the rib of palm leaf. The first or
top kernel is then lighted. All the kerr
nels are of the same size and substance.
and each will burn certain number
OF minutes and then set fire to the next
one below. The natives tie pieces of
bark cloth at regular intervals along
the string, to mark the divisions of
time. Among the natives of Singar, in
the Malay Archipelago. another peculi-
ar device is used. Two bottles are
placed neck and neck, and sand is put
In one of them which pours itself into

TRANSVAAL QUESTION.

The absorbing question of the past month
in England has been that of the relations
between Great Britain and the South African
republic, ordinarily known as the Transvaal.
The administration OF Lord Salisbury under
the leadership of Mr.. Chamberlain as colonial
minister has been steadily and augressiy,ly
approaching the point of coercing the South
African republic into shaping its internal
policy in accordance with the demands made
upon it by the British Government The
real situation ought by this time to b. well
understood. i he excuse for British nterfer
ence is the so-called grievances of British
subjects living in the Transvaal; bu, this is
only a pretext. The time has come when
the Brit sh imperialists wsh-in effect. at

Africa. There are many reasons why far

ABOUT The CEMETERY

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
As you are DESTROYS of hearing
from all in this matter of "new
cemetery Site" would say 1 am
positively averse to the proposed
Punchbowl site for the same rea-
sons expressed by the Honolulu
physicians who have been kind
enough to give their honest opin-
ions in this matter.
Why should we appropriate the
most desirable portion Of the city
for the dead, while the living are
compelled to endure low, damp
and fever stricken localities. Why
not secure some Of the fiat or low
land near sea levelp There are
vast areas of this kind OF land to
be seen along the railroad track
on the way to Eva, and no doubt
arrangement could be made with
the railroad company whereby
funeral parties could be taken TO
and from a cemetery at less than
regular passenger rates, and more
especially il a rule could be
adopted whereby the railroad
could be allowed to select one
particular hour for leaving the
depot each day instead of expect
ing the railroad company to re-
main liable for a call at any min
ute. Perhaps 3 o'clock or little
earlier or later each day would be
good time for the railroad COM
pany to make available to funeral
parties.
1 say parties, for many times
there would be two and perhaps
three funerals and it would be no
more expense for the railroad
company to take two or three
than one, compsratively-and this
is why railroad company could be
prevailed upon to submit most
favorable terms. At all events,
the living should have some con-
sideration. The old dilapidated
grave yards in Honolulu are a
disgrace and eye sore and are only
tolerated because some infuen-
tial person has not taken the mat
ter in hand, for when they do
they will have lots OF backing
the old grave yards would have
few champions.
A crematory would be of the
greatest benefit. There are very
many people in favor of it now
and once i. became fact the pre-
judice would soon begin to be
If we had been accus-
toned to cremation for ages as we
have been to burial, l venture to
say, it would be even harder to
persuade parent to have one of
their beloved buried deep in the
damp ground-there to be sub
ject to the natural decay,
instead Of having the body re-
duced to clean ashes, in a we'll ap-
pointed crematory, and those
ashes placed in a silver or gold
urn or casked.
Ii a cremstory were started it
seems RICH that hundreds and hun
dreds of unknown and unclaim-
ed remains filling many of these
old graveyards should be taken
up and cremated, thereby remov-
ing many hideous little mounds
that in reality have no mean
ing.
The incorporators Of the crema-
tory will be the much envied ones
Of these days and will be entitled
to all public patronage and praise.

wheat-The Outlook.

The judicious and well posted COM
mercial editor of the New York Sun,
in his comments on the wheat condi-
tion Wednesday last. after giving the
situation, says:
Conditions. it is maintained, are
ripe for a bull movement in wheat,
and the recognition of this fact, it is
urged, cannot be long delayed.
Among the bull features today was
an advance of equal 70 lie. TO &c. in
Paris, due partly it seems to bad
weather in France. Antwerp moved
up 129 centimes. European stocks,
moreover, decreased 100000. East
of the Rocky Mountains, too, the
stock is only 81 ,O57. 900 bush, against
55,600,0OO last year, in spite of the
admitted increase in this years crop.
What is more, the stocks in and afloat
for Europe are only 81, 100000 bush,
against 72,O2l 900 a year ago. The
worlds stock increased only 1000
bush. for the week, and now amounts
to only l12, 197, 900. against 27,629,-
600 last year, which is certainly
striking testimony to the smallness
of European reserves, the inaccuracy
of European crop estimates, the &C
tivity of the European demand, and,
finally, to the dependence of Europe
upon this country for the bulk of its
supplies. As TO the Liverpool decline
Mr.. Proctor of that market cabled:
"The depression was caused by heav-
Ter arrivals and is only temporary.
Shipments to Liverpool are falling
off. " Illinois millerS are buying AT
Kansas City. This IL considered SIS
nifcant. 1t means an exhaustion of
Illinois supplies or of supplies in the
region tributary to Chicago or else an
increased diSinclination ON the part
of farmers to sell at current prices.
Then, too, the Northwestern receipts,
even counting those for two days at
Duluth, were 500 cars smaller than
on this day last week and only 80
cars larger than a year ago. The
smallness of these arrivals excited
comment.

Gen. Esgsn, specimen of whose
testimony before the war investiga-
ting committee is given in another
column, has furnished sufficient
foundation, if he should ever kill u
fellowman and be tried for the offenSe,
for counsel to demand his discharge
upon a plea of insanity. No man of
well balanced mind would deliberate
" splatter the foam of bitter perso-
nal TRADE over almost every sentence
he had prepared Us testimony before
a court. And the court, at the time
of the delivery of the testimony,
seemed as much off of it's balance as
the witness when it sat still and
heard him without calling him down.
We are no great admirer of General
Miles. neither do we admire the spec
tacle of one officer hurling at another
a demoniacal storm of coarse abuse.
Not 10 be too nice and at the same
time frank about it, we ought not
to be surprised at this ugly episode,
since deception and detraction are
smeared over the various stages of
the war with Spain. The only proud
setting to the scenes developed in that
conflict is the brilliant record made
by our navy, and the heroism shown
by our troops in the attack upon
Santiago.
Gen. Eagan, whose testimony was
returned to him as Objectionable by
the investigating committee, has re-
vised and eliminated all of the sour
rilous matter it contained and sent it
in to the committee. 1t is stated,
however, that Gen. Eagan will be
court-martialed either "for conduct
unbecoming an officer" or "for con-
duct prejudicial to good order and
discipline"

Mr.. Bryan at Chicago.

The third annual banquet OF the
Andrew Jackson League was held at
the fremont House, Chicago, and on
this occasion William j. Bryan was
the guest of honor. Mayor Garter
II. Harrison. of Chicago, acted as
presiding officer. Mr.. Bryan, in the
course of his speech, said: 1.-THE de-
mocracy of the nation is still defend
ing Jeffersonian principles with Jack
sonian courage. and has no thought
of departing from the principles
enumerated a; Chicago in 1896. That
platform will live in history, and the
hour of its adoption will be remem-
bered as the hour when the money
changers were driven from the dem
ocratic temple. There will be no
turning back. The platform will be
added to as new conditions force new
issues into the arena of politics. but
nothing will be subtracted from ii.
That platform denounced govern
ment by injunction and the senti
ment against government by injunc-
ton is increasing. That platform
denounced the trusts and declared
them to be a menace. That menace
is greater today than ever before.
That platform warned the people
that conspiracy was on foot to give
to the national banks a monopoly of
the issues and supply Of paper mon
ey; that conspiracy is now known to
everyone. That platform denounced
international bimetallism as delu
sion and snare, and its condemna
ton has been justified. That plat
form pointed to independent free
coinage as only means of restoring
the double standard. Who doubts
it now? That platform named Is to
as the proper ratio and that ratio
stands today as the only ratio at
which bimetallism is possible. Some
who opposed the platform in 1896
have promised to return to the party,
on condition that the party will drop
the money question, and confine the
fight to the trusts. The offer will
not be accepted What confidence
would the people have i'll our SINGER
ity, if we should declare against
trusts in general, but enter into a
treaty of peace with the greatest of
all trusts-the money trust?"

Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson, president of
Washington and Lee University, has
denied the report that credited him
with having been offered and accept
ed the presidency of Yale University.
The report connecting his name with
this position stated that the Yale
salary was to DE increased from So, 900
to $25, 900,
Mr.. Wilson may feel called upon
to deny another report concerning
himself, though to those who
believe in his high person
al worth and open expression of views
he need not do SO. This other repol t
says that he confessed to a party of
friends at the New Years reception
of the Union League Club that be
voted for Mckinley instead of Gen.
Palmer, independent democrat, in
1896, and ex-mayor Strong OF New
York is quoted as authority for the
report. To an unwarranted abuse is
now being added misrepresentation of
such men as Mr. Wilson, for doing
what one half of the voters of this
county did in the fall of 1897. The
latter voted against the democratic
nominee for the Legislature, but no
one has visited upon them unmeas-
ured denunciation.

Hays, it is said, is angry because he
failed to secure an appointment for
q friend. This smacks of following
politics for what can be made. The
Legislature at this point adjourned
TO Monday, giving to the democrats
more than day to persuade these
recalcitrant members to get into line
again. 1t may be that the West Vil-
ginia and Delaware Legislatures will
witness hot times before they ad
journ, on the senatorial question.
The fact is U. S. Senators ought to
be chosen by a direct vote of the
people, and we hope Virginia will
