the recent returns from the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics relating to the
iron. coal and Pacific coast lumber
trade. These figures cannot be contro-
verted and they tell of a teeming pros
Ierity which is due to wise legislation
and excellent administration.
The iron trade for the first four
months of this year furnished tom
mage of 65I670 tons i'm contrast
with 529.1Sl tons for the corresponding
period of 1901 The home demand for
pig iron from this quarter has almost
cXtinguished exports. Out of a total
shipment of 1926 tons of pig iron in
april, only 149 tons were credited to ex-
port from Southern iron territory.
on the Pacific coast lumber ship
ments from the red wood regions Of
Upper California were in round num-
bers IL millions of feet ahead of those
of 1900, and million feet greater than
1901. Everett Washington, shipped 49,
500, 900 feet of lumber in April alone. AT
the port of Tacoma the outward freight
tonnage for the first four months of
1902 was 345, 500 TONS and the inward
tonnage 42,4SS tons. OF the 1888, 1854
barrels of flour for the Orient Portland
contributed 517476 barrels, Tacoma
45O,52 barrels, and Seattle 315,553 bar
rels.
The coal trade since January l has
pOnding period of last year. Cincinnati
gained 42.5 per cent. st. Louis shows
an increase of IS per cent The Chesa
peake and Ohio coal tonnage for nine
months ending with March was 4,299,
600 tons, compared with 3,91S,172 tons
last year. The coal and coke tonnage
over the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburg and Erie reached total of
11.S3799S tons to April 26 of this year,
compared with 1O,93O, S12 tons last year.
Connellsville coke shipments this year
averaged 10,747 cars per week. compar-
ed with 1O,549 cars per week last year.
Coal shipments to domestic ports on
the Lakes, mainly from lower Lake
ports, were $685. 96 tons this April, COM
pared with 55,653 tons last April, while
coastwise and foreign shipments for
the first four months of the year
amounted to 2,52I67S tons, of which
693,921 tons were hard coal, and 1885,
752 tons soft coal. The iron ore ship
ments of 1,774,652 tons bring the ton
mage of these two chief articles in Lake
trade to a total of 1902, 1926 tons for the
first third of the year. Coal receipts at
Boston were 1,762, 766 tons, compared
with 1,559, 313 tons last year. Coal and
coke traffic over the Norfolk and West
ern Railway to the end of March in
creased 10 per cent last year, and the
Baltimore and Ohio's traffic for April
increased 2S.S per cent above April,

PREROGATINE.

There has been some considerable

pardoning of Editor Smith by the Gov

case of Volcano Marshall. but of course
the cases are not parallel Marshall
was tried for libel and convicted by a
jury. Smith was sentenced by judge
without trial by jury, he was moreover
sentenced for constructive contempt,
an offense which had been wiped off
the statute book by the Legislature.
The Circuit Court chose to consider
that constructive contempt remained
in force, and gave the highest penalty.
The Supreme Court did not go into the
law of the matter, except Justice Perry
whose view was that the Judges of

.OEQLEHAO.


The enquiry into the okoIehao case
for which the schooner .Kawailani has
been seized by the Internal Revenue
officials developed in evidence the fact
that there was. a still in Kahana, ON
the Koolau side of the Island, but the
witness did not know where it was, eX-
cept that 1t was far up the valley
From some knowledge of the other side
of the Island, it seems far more likely
that there are half a dozen stills in the
valley rather than one still.
Kahana is an ideal spot for the moon
sinner, 1t is deep, running up some
miles into the heart of the koolau
mountains. The path into the valley is
a difficult one, and there is much cross
ing of deep stream. 4 person simply
prospecting would soon find himself in
volved in ma.rshy difficulties, and wad-
ing up to the waist in mixture of
black slush, reeds and water Then the
valley opens out inCo many side gulch-
es, and away up some of these, hidden
among the deep vegetation and trees
which clothe their sides will be found
the stills. Anyone approaching can be
easily seem and the search for the still
is very hard work indeed for the dis
tiIers are adopts at Concealment.
But Kahana' is by no means the only
spot where okolehao is manufactured
on the Koolau side Of the Island, Kaa-
wa is another favorite location, and the
mountains nearer town behind Waia-
hole and Waikane used to have and
probably now have their disulng
plants. ..
The art of afstiuation from the ii
root from which the original okolehao
was made, is said to have been taught
to the HawaHans by escaped convicts
from the Colonies, who found their
way up here. This may or may not be
true. There were plenty of. runaway
sailors who could teach how to distil
AT first the liquor was made from ii
root but the use of that plant has long
been given up, and the stuff is made
from rotting potatoes, molasses, sweet
potatoes, and in fact anything that will
ferment.
1t was the okoIehao made from ii
root which gained a medal at the
French Exposition Of 1889. The manu-
facture of the inferior article has in
creased since then. The cleverness of
the distillers has often baffled our own
police, and it now remains to be seen
if the Internal Revenue officers can
make more Roadway.

The Maui Grand jury recommended
their secretary be paid So a day. There
were fourteen cases disposed Of in five
days, or say three cases a day to keep a
record Of In Cook county which in
cludes Chicago, the grand jury handles
some fifty cases a day, and the secre-
tary who has TO keep the records, quite
heavy task, receives no pay. But then
Maui is much richer than Cook county
and probably three cases in that island
are more intricate than fifty cases In
Chicago, so At is both right and proper
that the secretary of the Maui grand
jury should be paid. At the same rate
the Cook county man ought to pull
down $50 per diem

A Commercial People

By strenuous exertion, Congressman
Burkett secured an appropriation for a
new federal building for Lincoln. A
few days ago he returned to Lincoln
and was met at the station by a band
and a crowd of enthusiastic fellow
citizens. The energy, perseverance,
tact, knowledge of the ways and means
and never faltering determination that
1t requires to secure an appropriation,
deserve the recognition of brass band
and lungs at the station when the con-
gresham, who has exercised all these
virtues in our behalf, returns to his
home.
secured another appropriation, or rath-
er pension, for the widow Of a man
to whom Nebraska will ever be in debt.
He gave the bill granting a pension Of
fifty dollars a month to the widow Of
Colonel Stotsenburg his personal at
tention. Unofficial friends Of the dead
colonel and his widow and daughters
went to Washington for the purpose Of
interesting Indifferent congressman and
senators in the bill. They were told
that all the chances were in favor Of
the defeat Of such a measure. That 1t
was finally granted by both houses is
due to the exertions and the patience
of Congressman Burkett. Good ma
ture, his temperamental denial Of de-
feat, and tireless activity won in
this case, as in his more recent victory.
For both, he is entitled to the thanks
Of the people whom he has served 50
well.
Probably the widow and children of
Colonel Stotsenburg are the only ones
who ever thanked him for the pension.
Every Nebraskan who cares for the
good name of his state, and for the
noble history of the Nebraska regiment

Stotsenburg and the debt will never be
cancelled.
Other men have given up their lives
in the Philippine insurrectiOn. But
Colonel Stotsenburg brought the Ne
