THE LEGISLATURE AGAIN.

Despite the persistency with which
the Gazette and many other territorial
papers have urged upon the people
the Importance Of nominating good
men for the legislature, not a single
candidate in any part of the territory
so far as we have seen, has been
made. If the people don't nominate
good men for the legislature they can
not expect to have good legislators or
good laws, but they can continue to
have the pleasure of cussing the legis-
lature after its adjournment. If the
political parties do not Iut up good
men the Gazette hopes the people,
when they come to vote, will vote for
the best men they can find on tickets,
regardless of what party they belong
to. That seems the only redress the
voters have and it certainly is the only
way to compel political parties to
nominate good men.-Gazctte.

WHERE PYTHIAN ORDER
WAS BORN.

The knights of Pythias of Calumet,
Michigan, are figuring on the purchase
and removal to Calumet of building
which probably has greater interest
to p PJth!ans as such than any other
structure in existence, says the Chi
cago Record. This is nothing more or
less than the old school house in which
Justin H. Ra'hb9ne, tha founder of
he order, wrote the ritual of what
was destined to become one of the
most popular secret orders in the
United States.
The school house still stands in a
littls village of Eagle Rarbor, some Is
miles north of Calumet and nearly at
the tip of the Keweenaw peninsula.
In early days when the activity of it's
copper mines in the Immediate vicinity
made Eagle Harbor something more
than the hamlet it is now, the father
of the Pythians was school teacher
and while not engaged in an attempt
to inject wisdom into the minds Of the
pupils conceived the idea of a society
the friendship of whose members
should be like unto the friendship
which existed between Damon and
Pythias. He carried out his concep-
tion and in his leisure wrote the ritual
of the order. Having no hetter place
to perform the work he did il at his
desk in the little school house. Title
to it is held by man named Kuntz.
resident of Harbor, who offers to
sell it for 5000. 1t is probable that
the negotiations now under way will
lead to its falling into the hands of
those who will fully appreciate it On
account of its associations. Moved to
Calumet and restored to something
like It's former conditions it will be-
come more valuable historically as

time goes On and an object of great
interest to all members of the order
who may visit the place.
Fifteen miles off the railroad and
inaccessible as it is now it is still
visited by hundreds of Pythians every

,OOO,OOO 1OI a
Cable TO Honolulu /

Washington, April l1.--With little
debate Of consequence the Senate today
passed the Pacific cable bill, a measure
appropriating S3,0OO,C00 for the con-
struction of cable between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu. The bill was una
nimously reported by the Committee on
Naval Affairs, and that 1t was passed
without serious objection Is regarded
as a compliment to the committee. The
bill as reported to the Senate Is a sub.
stitute for the measure as originally
introduced by Hale. II carries an APP.
preparation of $4,000, 900 for the project.
The bill provides for a cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu, the work to
be done under the supervision of the
Navy Department, which has made sur
veys and determined the practicability
of the route. The Navy Department
may use any of its ships that can be
adapted to the task of laying the ca
BILE, and II II needs other ships II may
charter them. In addition to this, 1t
provides that the Secretary of the
Navy, in his discretion If he finds IT not
practicable to lay the cable by the force
of his own department, may contract,
ment, for the construction, laying and
equipment of the cable. All materials
and appurtenances shall be of special
quality.
Section 8 provides that the cable,
wires and other instruments, materials,
appliances and appurtenances necessary
in the work of laying the cable shall
be of American manufacture, provided
the same can be procured at cost not
exceeding ~ per cent above what the
same can be procured for in foreign
markets.
Hale explained that the bill provid-
ed for the building of the cable from
San Francisco to Honolulu. This, he
said, would be in the nature Of an ex-
pertinent, and upon the result of it
would depend in measure the future
course of the Government. II might be
deemed desirable in the light of eX-
pertinent to start the Philippine cable
from some point like Seattle and pro-
coed to Japan by the northern route.
Pettus moved to strike out section 5
of the bill why" he inquired, should
the Government consent to be taxed on
its own business for the benefit of GER
tain manufacturers? It's an absurdity.
Even If you do rob the people by your
taxes you ought not to rob the Govern
ment."
Tillman, of South Carolina. as a
member of the Naval Committee, de-
Tended the bill, in the report of which
all the Democratic members of the
committee had Joined. While he was
not, he said, protectionist or in favor
Of subsidies, he regarded the provision
in section 8 of this bill in the interest
of the people, as 1t would be a sort of
nursing bottle" to the industries inter-
ested. He deemed it desirable ex-

that II might prove a good thing for
Alabama.
up to this date" said pettus. Ala
bama will not accept your bride. I
have seen one great State near mine
accept the sugar bottle and don't like
It,"
Tillman dsclaimed any effort to
bride either Senator Pettus or the State
Of Alabama, but he was anxious to in.
crease the struggling iron and steel in
dustries Of Alabama, and he hoped 10
see the day when a Government armor-
plate factory would he located in Ala
bama.
Alabama Is not struggling at all,
retorted Pettus, with spirit. "Alaba-
ma Is master of the situation both as to
iron and coal. But the great grand.
children of the Senator (Tillman) will
be here in tho Senate before any part
of the armor plates are manufactured
in Alabama. This thing Is wrong and
the Senator knows It,"
Pettus' amendment was defeated, II
to SO. aud the bill passed without al.
vision.
