A GOOD story is being clrcu
lated about President Mckinley
which has, among other merits, that
of truth. 1t will be remembered
that few weeks ago the bones of
John Browns sons, killed at Har-
per's Ferry, were eXhumed and
tab en- to the Adirondacks for more
honorable interment. The presl'
dent was invited to grace the cere'
monies with his presence, His
answer was eminentIy characteris-

declining your invitation" A more
typical instance of the celebrated

WE see the Greenville Sun questions
our statement as to the democratic party
representing the interests of 9j per cent
OF the American people. We know it is
to the interests of the farmer and pro-
ducing class to have good market for
their products, that is why We say de-
mocracy is for their interests. How can
any party that creates and encourages
trusts, monopolies etc, be other than a
curse to the laboring man? What is
gained for the laboror0r, if under ropub-
lican rule, the products of their labor
bring the lowest prices while the arti-
cles they must Of necessity purchase, is,
in every instance, increased in price. We
have heard OF prosperity but it is only
trusts and monopolies who are prosper
ing under republican rule. Just think
OF the advance in price of barb wire,
nails, plain wire, hardware, cutlery, etc.
Think of it advancing POO per cent in
less than one yeac. What caused this?
It's the trusts, the friends Of the re-
publican party. BY their works ye
shall know them

Louis AXE, charged with selling
adulterated milk was acquitted by
the District Magistrate this morning.
The prosecution failed to prove that
the defendant sold the milk, and
being plainly a delivery man only
the Judge could not find his way to
punish the defendant. The law is
very lax, and the next Legislature
will have broad field for improve
ments on the acts relating to the
sale OF adulterated food.

A PUBLIC SCANDAL.

One Of the first duties OF the
Legislature will be to devise means
to disiranchise the Hawaiian Elec-
trio Company, which now posses ses
q monopoly, and which, besides ut
terly failing in furnishing a decent
service, is, through the incompe-
tency or criminal negligence of its
employees, jeopardizing the lives OF
the citizens who pass through the
streets,

When the police yesterday even
ing telephoned to the power sta
tion that live.wires we're raising the
deuce all over the town, aud that
the situation near School street
bridge was absolutely dangerous.
the answer was that the force at the
station was composed of an electri-
clan and q Japanese, and that it was
impossible for the electrician to
leave the machines. Mr.. Chilling
worth asked through the telephone
whether the services of an outside
electrician could be obtained, pro-
missing to pay the expenses out of
his own pocket, and he received an
answer in the negative. He then
dispatched police officer to the
power station with a request that
the current be turned off before
any serious accident should happen.
The answer was that the electrician
could only do 80 by an order from
the manager, who could not be
found. For four hours did Mr..
Chillingworth, assisted by his men
and by Mr.. E. McInerny, work on
School street in their endeavors to
extricate the telepone wires which
had been sadly mixed with the wires
of the electric company. Mr. Chill
lingworth is an excellent police off,
Ger, but he is not supposed to be an
electrician, in fact he admitted this
morning that all he knows about
live wires is to leave them severely
alone, Mr.. McInsrny didn't even
know that much about wires, and it
10 simply duo to the fact that he
wore rubber shoes that he didn't
pass in his checks while endeavor-
ing to disentangle the wires. If it
had net been for the prompt atten-
tion and efforts OF the gentlemen,
the newspapers would probably
have been obliged this morning to
record more than one tragedy.

Board of Judges to Sit on Pension Cases
Proposed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The comman.
der-in-chief and national pension COM
mittee Of the G. A. r. called on the
president and presented a plan for the
establishment Of a board of Judges in
pension cases to sit in Washington and
hear cases on appeal from decisions of
the pension bureau. These appeals here
tofore have been decided by clerks in
the interior department detailed by the
secretary Of the interior for this pur-
pose. 1t is believed by the commit
tee that a tribunal made up of
high standing in the legal profession
brought together from different parts Of
the country and sitting in Washington
with well defined jurisdiction and pow
ers, like the United States circuit court
Of appeals or the court of claims, would
remove in a large measure the dissatis-
faction felt by large class Of people
with the system which has prevailed for
many years.
The president received the suggestion
OF the committee with favor and prom
ised to give his careful consideration to
the draft Of a bill which the committee
in due time will present to him.
