In the Municipal journal Prof. Ely
recalls past campaigns in New York

reform have been gathered together by
such battle cries to do battle for the
salvation of the municipality, and he
dwells upon the disappointment and
reaction which returned to Office the

He reaches the conclusion that in

for reform is needed to bring about

No More Cheap Labor.
In conclusion wish to impress upon
the committee the fact that Hawaii no
longer enjoys cheap labor In fact, she
has been put to her wits end during
the past two years to obtain sufficient
labor to take off her crops at any price.
Last spring the Planters Association
tried the experiment of bringing labor
from Porto Rico. Two thousand one
hundred were imported at a cost OF
about 100000. It cost one plantation
$l.56 per ton of sugar raised to obtain
this labor. Hawaii is compelled to
day to pay for the most Indifferent la
Dor more than is paid in the States
while skilled labor is paid a much high.
er wage than union labor demands
here.
Mr., Atkins, in his talk before the
committee, on page 81 of the printed
report, speaks about the cost of pro
duclng sugar in Hawaii, and he was
very careful to read from the printed
report Of the Eva plantation, the plan
tation that is the wonder of the sugar
world for producing sugar. And II was
not only not the report for last years

Effect Of Repeating Duty.
The United States Minister to Ha.
wall, in dispatch to the Secretary of
State, No. 32, of September 5, 1891,
said:
THE repeal of the sugar duty by
the United States has struck the prin.

very severe blow, and with the most
favorable estimate 1t now looks as
though bankruptcy must be the inevi

are together. The monarchs descend

bread and wine Of the sacrament and
then, putting On their crowns, return
to their chairs. The final act is the
change Of coronation robes for robes Of
state, after which the monarchs, still
wearing their crowns and bearing their
scepters of royalty, attended by all the
peers and peeresses wearing their coro-
nets, pass out Of the Abbey into the
public place. In their new state coach
the Eaonarchs then ride through the
streets, wearing their crowns in the
presence Of the assembled populace, to
Buckingham palace.
Needless to say that the coronation
robes Of Queen Alexandra, who has
genius for dress and the purse Of
monarch, excite far greater curiosity
the world over than the dress Of King
Edward VII. And yet the queen con-
sort has not ransacked the earth foE
beautiful and costly apparel, but de-
creed at the outset that her own robes

Of materials manufactured by British
subjects. This does not mean that
there is a monotony Of color or same
ness of fabric in the feminine display
for the sun never sets upon the British
dominions. Whatever the British isles
themselves cannot produce is supple
mented by the skillful needleworkers
Of faroff India.
In the matter of her own robes Queen
Alexandra had but to please her OWE
sweet self unless she chose to cater to
the wishes Of her royal spouse. which,
is not very probable at an age ap.
preaching threescore. but the peeresses
were compelled to follow the dicta OF

W " ZEN Alexandra emerges
"a "A from Westminster Abbey
VI vi after the coronation cere-
Y monies, she will make her
first appearance before
the public as queen consort Of Edward
VII. wearing the crown OF England.
The most gorgeous jewel in that
crown. the Kohinoor diamond, will
then fer the first time grace the dia-
dem Of newly crowned queen. Queen
Alexandra's crown is that known as
the st. Editha, named in honor Of
Edith, the wife CT Edward the Con-
fessor. It was made for Queen Mary
Of Aiodena, the consort Of James H.,
and is much the same in shape as that
Of Edward VII, cap Of purple vel
vet, surmounted by two arches and
faced with ermine It is set with dia-
monLs of great value intermixed with
pearls and other rare jewels. This
crown is always used when the SOW
ereignty exists in the male branch.
AS is the case with King Edwards
crown, Alexandra's has undergone
many alterations for the occasion,
which enhance It's beauty and value.
The Kohinoor came into the posses
sion of England since the accession Of
Queen Victoria; hence it has never be-
fore figured in coronation. The Won
derful stone was among the spoils Of
a mogul invasion in the sixteenth cen
tury, and after many adventures, be-
ing sometimes fought for il battle
and again the jewel Of an oriental
princess, it was con6scated by the
East India company for war expenses
in 1889. So great was the importance
of this gem in the minds Of the orien-
tails that its acquisition by the English
crown was the subject Of a treaty.
Queen Alexandra. attended by her
ladies, passes in front Of the king after
entering Westminster Abbey. The first
act is the changing Of the robes Of
state for the nantes which form Part
of the resalia used in coronations.
After the robing the queen consort
