to the Red Men of the world. In conclu-
sion, he deposited within the tomb a hand

fit emblem in our belief in that immor-
tality of the soul which rises superior to
all the ills of life and. through the bright
blessings OF hope, gives US promise of eter-
nal JOY"

FEBRUARY 25.


Why mot check at once the growing
practice of throwing back to friends
and accuaintances from so.le decks OF
tho steamers as they leave, the
w1iarve,, those gifts of leis which love
and: friendship cast around the depart
ing friends?
1T is pretty, graceful. and salts
flying custom which our ao.iow citizens
the native Hawaiians, have shown 20
MS. of browning our departing fir ends
with flowers. 1t is in harmony with
she. tropical environment. Like music
it means much that cannot be ex-
pressed.
But, unless we carefully guard
ngainsl it the custom will soon be
abandoned. Perhaps the hard spirit of
commercialism will inevitably destroy
lit, as 1t destroys other graceful social
amenities. If it is inevitable that
the grateful simplicity of other days
must end, our consolation must be that
other and better customs will follow.
Will they?
BUT until we are assured or 1t, let
AIS agree to preserve this delightful
practice of decorating the departing
friend and guest.
IT. cannot be preserved, If the lately
adopted practice of casting back the
aeis be followed There may be some
reason for doing SO, because it is not
practicable TO retain masses of flowers
on ship board, and in the state rooms.
But let us preserve the illusion that
they are kept in remembrance rather
than destroy it rude!y by fiinging back
before the vessel leaves the dock, these
pleasant gifts. This growing practice
of discarding the leis is already ere
atinE a sentiment that the custom is
an idle one, and meaningless. II it is
dmDTacticable to retain these perish
able token of regard, let them be kept
and discarded when the donors are
out of sight.
Besides, there is a lack of good
breeding in the practice.
IL it is our fate 20 become finally
"ciyiMzea'' out of this pretty custom,
let us preserve it, until some better
custom takes its place.

LOCKING UP MONEY.

The last financial statement made
by the Department on Finance, on the
9Th of the month, discloses remark
able condition of affairs. 'rt.fa
The amount of money now locked
ND in the Treasury Vaults amounts, in
the current account, to $736,6S9.54, and
an the loan account to $92, 915.41, MAX
ing a total OF $S29j6O4.95. This, amount
now out of circulation taking into
consideration the number of the in
habitarts, and the amount of coin and
currency in the country, would be un-
der ordinary circumstances, enough to
excite apprehension and fear of I'm
ancial panic. When through the large .
receipts from duties the accumula-
tons i'm the United States having, in
1886, if we correctly state the year,
reached $3.50, 900, 900, the bankers in the
cities became alarmed. The money
market became stringent, and the
prices of stock declined. AS the strin-
gency' began to increase, the bankers
and business men of the country IN
order to prevent a panic, besieged the
government strenuously to relieve the
money market by abandoning this
crude and lInwise practice o. locking
I'D currency. The government yielded,
and distributed the surplus MOI requlr-
ed for immediate use among the ma
tiomal banks, and secured by the best
collaterals. The money market was
at once relieved. The financial men,
throughout the country, agreed, with
out dissent, that the policy of locking
up this large amount of money was
injurious to business, and was not JUS
titled by amy principle Of finance. The
amount of coin and paper currency is
sued by Federal government is about
$23 per capita. The amount OF money
in circulation here at the same rate
would be about $2,50O,Oo,. Do the
banks, and the mercantile houses and
the Treasury hold that amount? 1t
IS doubtful. Conceding that there is
that amount in the country, it appears
then THAT about one-third of the cash
capital of the country is locked up
in the government vaults. Amy Amer
lean or European financier of reputa-
ton would declare that TINS condition
OF things showed at least doubtful fin
ancierring Conditions here perhaps
may be peculiar and permit without
peril the withdrawal from circulation
of this comparatively large amount
1t is mot obvious that it is so. The
experte4nce; ON the Mainland which we
have stated condemns it..
Ii the locking up of this; money
raises the rate of interest above the
formal point, whatever that may be
the practice must be bad financiering
If there is only $1,500.O00 in the ISL
ands, as some suggest, then We have
more than half of our circulating me-
dunn out of temporary use. Peril from
lock up" however, does not appear
in rising market. In booming times

NEW PROCESS
BLUE FLAME OIL STOVE,

\ sort OF dread may prevail among
housewives that perhaps these stoves
might explode. but we can honestly say
that they are perfectly safe in every
home. To endorse our statement Just
have a talk with any insurance agent:
he will tell you at once that he would
rather insure a home where these
stoves are used than Issue a policy on
a home where different stoves are used.
You wonder why the Blue Flame
stove should be better than any other.
Well tell you. In this country the mat
ter OF fuel Is n very large item OF ex-
pense. As you have turned over a
new leaf since the New Year and In
tend economizing where you never
thought OF before. you may begin on
your coal and wood. II IL a positive
fact that the BLUE FLAME uses
only about one-half the quantity Of fuel
any other stove does. Another great
advantage Is that there Is no smoke OF
smell
These stoves are placed on rollers
and are 80 light they can be easily
moved about. We have chem in two
sizes. one with two burners with oven
attached and the other with three
burners with oven. (The price OF these
stoves is SIC. see.5o and sss.Oo). We

them.

There is another important view of
the case. The Legislature appropriat-
ed money for many internal improve
ments. The money for these improves
ments is on hand in this perhaps
dangerous" surplus. The Interior De-
parment, without vitality for long
period, either does not have energy
enough TO make these improvements,
or is prevented from making them by
some powerful influences The gov
eminent must be treated as one cor
porate body. Why does 1T not make
them with promptness and energy? II
made as rapidly as they ought to be
made, this great surplus would find
its way back into business channels
1t is rather. difficult to discover any
financial reasons for the delay
The administration of the Finance
Department has been conservatively
and safely conducted heretofore. But
new conditions are arising. Can it af-
ford to ignore the experience of other
