THE regular appropriation bills OF
the present session OF Congress, ieav'
ing out the irregular ones for ship
subsidies aud inter-ocean canals, will, it
is estimated, amount to three quarters
of billion of dollars. That is ten dol
lars for every man, woman and child,
white, black, red and yellow, within the
limits OF the United States. But con-
quered provinces. and the fleets and ar
mics necessary to keep them conquered,
require a large sum of money, and il
the poor people OF the country willing
ly submit to the requisite taxation. no.
body else has any right to complain.

Toasted While Enemy approach

London, Dec. 29.-The true reason
for the dismissal Of General Sir Henry
Colville from the army has leaked out
General ColviIle was in command of the
Yeomanry who were surrounded and
captured near Lindley on May 81, last.
He was supposed to be responsible for
the disaster but the facts Of the case
we're not known. Now it is learned
that Colville, while in the field, travelled
with six cooks and a wagon load Of
champagne. On the night of the Lind
ley disaster he was giving spread. 10
the midst of the festivities messenger
arrived with a warning of the Beers ap-
pearance. Colville kept the man
waiting four hours and then it was too
late. The army shake up is the ;slk of
the day and further sensational dis.
missals are expected.

THE PEOPLE of Samoa have been
comparatively quiet for some time, or
rather, intelligence OF their disqulet
has been suppressed, but their dissatis'
faction and discomfort are now becom-
ing apparent. and exciting news may
soon be expected from the American
possessions in that country; but empires
are rarely without wars; it is not
their nature to be, and now that the
the United States have become one,
aud have possessions all around the
world, it is not likely that they will
make an exception to the rule; SO that
the peaceful and orderly people OF this
country may as we'll make up their
minds to be taxed for war, until none
of them but the plutocrats has any
Shing left.

A MASSACHUSETTS writer says the
New England spirit ION it's mental
side, always has stood for Inquiry aud
reason; on its moral side, for justice"
Why certainly. It's inquiry and reason
and justice, justified its religious perse-
cutions, its slave trade, its threatened
desertion of the other States in the war
of 1872, and its abolition Of slavery, af'
ter disposing OF all its own negroes
The New England spirit may be good
of its kind. but, as late republican
magistrate of this city once said OF his
friends tobacco, it is OF very bad
kind

of Agriculture, in the morning, and DR.
P. B. Barrioger, of the University of
Virginia, at night. DR.. Harris discus.
sed "The Relations OF Universities and
Colleges to Public Schools" while DR..
Barringer treated "Negro Education in
the South" 10 manner that will attract
very general attention. DR.. Bsrripger
does not favor technical or industrial
education for the negro, but rather
emphasizes the Importance of moral
training as the hope for the negro, who
must always be lsborsr. he declared
the eolored man has not kept pace with
his opportunities, and is still the laborer
and common mechanic.
10 his address Prof. Branson attribut-
Ell the bsekwardness of education in the
South 10 the lack of cooperation.

Thuraday night Louis Harmon, who
was awaiting sentence. escaped from
Clarion county, Pa, Jail. Last July
two men escaped ny using dynamite on
a window. This hole 10 the wall for
some reason had never been repaired,
but the cell door leading into it had
been kept locked. Harmon secured q
file and filed the lock into this unuse q
cell and made his escape. There was
no one in the Jail, owing to the near
approach in the change of sherifs,
which will take place January 10.

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. %, 1900.

EVEN Mr.. Hewitt, of New York.
who has deserted the democratic party
because it ceased to follow the advice
of the plutocrats, nows with all his con-
cep,ions of the blessings resulting from
the success of the republicans, con-
cedes that things in this country are not
going on as we'll So they ought to, ana
that the fact that national riches have
increased FIVE times as fast as national
population, during the years since the
war between the States, Is "ominous OF
a bad sign" as late old Virginian
used to say. Mr.. Hewitt can't abide
the Growing of roostert in the early
morning, but he can see what every
body else does, thai the commercial
shirt which has possessed this country
since the dominsncy of the republican
partv. has displaced nearly all the
nobler qualities of the people. and that
the ACQUISITION of pelf is now the CHIEF
object of their lives. And in every
country; and at all times, it has ever
been that ill fares the land in which
wealth accumulates and men decay.

OF Gladys Morris, the 3-year.old daugh-
ter of DR.. aud Mrs. Dorsey L. Morris,

family there, and his wife was Miss E la
Amelia Speer, whose family is one of
the most prominent in Sanford, Fla,

GUS SCHWARTZ.
Young Man Killed at Hilo Well Known
Here.

Gus Schwartz, who was cut with a
knife at Hilo last Monday and killed,
is we'll known in Honolulu. He was a
painter by trade and worked for a long
with Wright, and with the Hawaiian
Carriage Manufacturing Company.
Here he was regarded most favorably,
being a man of pleasant disposition
and good habits. At Hilo he was en-
ployed by Richards & Schoen. The
young man came here from San Fran
cisco.
Arthur Heyners, a boy of 10, did the
cutting. He had some words with
Schwartz in a livery stable, drew a
knife and plunged it into the right side
of the dead mans neck Schwartz lived
but a few minutes.
Meyners is under arrest charged with
murder. 1t is said the boy was IN
liquor at the time of the cutting.

drew out many hearty encores. The
attendance was fully up to the STAN

| up this cause ii would not have looked
so bad as it does for Wilcox, who is
himself interested to a greater extent
than the old Queen. Wilcox's wife is
the daughter of the dethroned Queen,
and should the crown lands be given
back TO her they would in short time
ter-in-law. These are valuable lands
and there is no reason why they should
be given to the eX-Queen. There are
very few persons on the islands who
would not be glad to see her taken
care of in some way, and the general
| idea is that a pension would be the
best way She is not. however. a
pauper. From mother sources she has
a good-sized revenue. but, as the ma
tives say, it is not enough to keep up
the sort of establishment she desires.
There will never be the same con-
| ditions existing again at an election
in the islands. While it was known
that Wilcox was strong in some of the
outside precincts, there was never
anything like fear that he would be
elected, and therefore the result, as
you can imagine. was a great sur
prise.
During the coming session of Con-
gress there viii be many matters that
will come up connected with the gov
eminent of the islands, but it is the
opinion that the greater number
Of them will have to be
taken charge of by one or
the other of our friends. of which
in Congress | am glad to say we have
number. The most important mat
ter that will come up. as far as am
aware, relates TO the revision of the
present labor system of the islands
There is no doubt that since annexa-
ton there has been q large number
o; aliens brought into the islands TO
work on the plantations. Many II
these. after they arrived. it was found
were not worth any,nlng. and now
there is a demand for all classes Of
labor. Yet with this condition ii is
not safe for a workingman to go II
the islands unless he is equipped
enough means TO care for himself for
a while at least.
The sugar crop this year will be
larger than il was last. but as yet it
IS not known how much. There is
great deal OF capital coming in and in
few more years the islands will be
doing three times the business they
are today

many comical situations and serves

some good specially work. In the last

Mrs. Ryan there is a real Christmas
tree decorated with presents which
are thrown out to the audience. The
