Representative Sulzer of New York
made very able speech on the last
day of the recent session of congress,
in which he summed up the Republic

expntiated at some length OH the sins

quote few paragraphs of this very
able speech. Sulzer is Il hard worker
and hard hitter. He began thus:
We have been in session since the first
Monday of last December 1t has been

Iowa has 10000 tenant farmers and
are entirely unrepresentea in the leg
islature Of the state, not one tenant
farmer being member OF that body.
The landlords are represented as
the legislation in their favor demon
StrateS.
A majority of these tenant farmers
are enabled to conduct the farms
rented by the use IF implements
bought On credit from some machine
man in the neighborhood of the farm
rented.
The landlords through legislation
have law on the sta4ute books of the
state which make the tenant crimi-
n II; who disposes Of any portion Of
the crops or stock on the farm before
the rent is paid without the written
consent Of the landlord.
In addition to this law gives the
landlord first lien upon all the ma
chinery bought Of the machine dealer
on credit, and of all the horses and
cattle and Of all the other property
brought on the farm by the tenant,
until the landlords rent is paid.
This is class legislation Of the most
reprehensible character entirely ig-
noriEg the class who have made the
farms bring form their harvest.

The PAPER Trust.

1t is said that the manufacturers of |
paper are organizing a trust or consol-
idation into one concern of all the pa !,
per mills in the country. AS mat
ter of fact all the paper mills in the
United States are now operating I'M
der combination which determines
the prices at which they shall sell
print paper, and they have already adj
vanced prices considerably so as to inn
pose a heavy tax on every newspaper
in the land. The proposed consolida-
ton in one corporation will make the
paper trust even more powerful and
despotic than now. In every other
branch of business when the prices OF
the raw material are raised the manu-
facturers can protect themselves from
loss by raising the prices of their pre-
ducts. But this cannot be done in
the newspaper business. The pub
fishers cannot raise their subscription
rates, which are fixed by custom and
contract, express or implied, Of long
standing. Nor can they raise their
advertising rates on any such ground
as the increased cost of paper. 1t
would seem to be about time, there
fore, for the newspapers of the coun-
try to form league for their own pre-
lection against this merciless paper
monopoly, which is an object lesson
to them of the most impressive char
acter of the tendency Of these trusts
to become instruments Of eXtortion
and oppression when the circum-
i stances give them exclusive control of
production. There is an easy way to
emancipate the newspapers Of the
country from the rule Of this rapac-
ious monopoly, and that is to abolish
the duty on paper and wood pulp. The
united influence of all tn newspa-
pers of the country with congress
should be strong enough to bring
about this adjustment Of duties the
sole purpose and effect of which is to
form shelter for extortinate prices.
For otherwise the paper industry OF
this country, where all the materials
are much cheaper than in any other
country except Canada, is in no need
of protection.
i But the newspapers of this country
cannot logically or justly ask for the
abolition of the duties on paper or
wood pulp for their own protection
from exorbitant prices without being
willing to join with the victims OF
other greedy monopolies in demand
ing that the like policy be pursued in
every case where the protective tariff
is used as shelter for extortion. The
Organization of this immense paper
trust will do more than anything else
to arouse the newspapers of the coun-
try to the necessity OF taking drastic
measures with trust monopotieS OF
every kind who abuse and degrade the
tariff by converting it into shield
for extortion.-St. Paul Pioneer Press

pounds. Each plate must be cut to the

what ease this work is done. The dia-

and a little tap of small hammer

As Hawaii is counted as a place
where there is risk from earthquakes
in erecting plate glass some precaution
must be taken against damage from
small shakes. The glass is trimmed to
such size that there is small mar
gin at the top and on each side from
the wood frame and 1t rests at the bot
tom on small lead slugs so that build
ing could be shaken considerably with
out any injury resulting to the glass.
The glass rests exactly level on its base
and is puttied all around.

HIS LEPER BILL
IS THE CAUSE

According TO news brought from ka-
laupapa by the Lehua the lepers are
very indignant over the attitude OF
Delegate Wilcox regarding their care.
They were reported to have threatened
to tar and feather him IL he had made
good his promise OF coming to the Set
tlement with the Commission. State
ments made before the Commission re-
garding the segregation OF men and
women also called forth a vigorous pro-
test, and the lepers are afraid that the
Senate Commission will recommend the
passage of the Wilcox leper bill to
which they are all much opposed. 1t
will be remembered that at the time
the bill was introduced the lepers at
Kalaupapa sent petition to Washing
ton protesting against its passage.

tefday Sunday Au that can boz rc-
ported az the result 20 this expedition
is that so far ns the human Inhabitants
of the islanu are concerned they have
an persisted or. more properly they all
have disappeared boo consequence of a
volcanic eruption or eruptions that had
taken place there between the Sth and
10th ~ August. that ,ie manner Of
their disappearance cannot be ascer-
tanned. and that these inhabitants
numbered l25, including men. women.
and children. As for the topography OF
the island IL may be said that the CEN
trail and the highest of the three peaks
on IL has been blown out OF existence.
that n crater OF considerable depth and
size has appeared partly in place OF the
demolished peak; that where there for
merly stood the houses OF the inhabi-
tants nothing but an expanse of I'M
dulating land forming gradually ris-
ing base to a steep hill and covered
over with a deep layer of dark gray
dust of pulverized rocks intermixed here
and there with large boulders OF CON
crete formation can be seen; that a new
bay with deep water has appeared at
point where 1t was not before; that
portion of the islanu is buried under
field of large and small rocks thrown
out by the eruption; that the grass
lands on the Hill tops and mountain
sides which form nearly two quarters
or one-half of the entire area of the
island have become buried under lay
ers of fine volcanic dust, while the re-
naming one quarter is fresh and intact
with its vegetation and it's grasses.
Next, the condition of the places dew
astated by the explosion as we saw
them, may be summarized thus: light
clouds of vapor were issuing in two
or three places from the sandy or ashy
bottom of the newly formed crater
which must at least be three or four
hundred feet below the rim; the island
was practically quiet, there being no
seismic shocks felt and the eruptive
force having apparently exhausted it
self and there was no immediate dan
ger of the commissions being repeated

being and will remain no body knows

SCHOONER BROUGHT
BUT SMALL PRICE

The schooner Julia +. Whalcn, a
smart little craft made famous because
Of the fact that she carried Captain
Rosehilrs expedition to Marcus Island,
was sold yesterday by auction for $1,000.
The Whalen made her voyage to Mar
Gus Island ana return in very good
time and is considered a staunch YES
sci but owing to the dull state of the
inter-island trade there is not much
demand here at present for that kind of
craft.
The owners Of the schooner Charles
Levi Woodbury., which Is engaged in
the trade between Honolulu and IiilO,
We're the purchasers Of the Whalen.
The Woodbury. will now lay up awhile
for repairs and the Whalen will be put
on that run. After the Woodbury. re-
turns from the run it is expected that
both schooners will be kept in the
trade between here and Hilo.
Waterfront people consider that the
Whalen went at job lots price and
that she should prove "A bonanza FOR
her owners in the good schooner trade
they have already established.

A Sure Way to Comfort.

The right kind of food will restore any

drugs and little judgment in selecting
light weight and easily digested food

recovering from a severe attack of ner-
vous prostration, says
"The principal trouble was an in
tensely irritated condition of the stom-
ach, so severe that diluted milk would
cause sensation as if molten lead had
been swallowed. At length, I began
to study my own case, and abolished
drugs and commenced experimenting
with my diet.
Grape-Nuts was brought to my no..
tice, and found it very palatable, and
as a regular morning dish, it met all
the requirements, and sustained me I'M,
til midday. After using Grape-Nuts
week, physical discomfort grew less,
my strength began to return and I
gained steadily in weight.
Along with all these improvements,

FRANK SARGENT CALLED IN.
Has an Interview With President
Roosevelt on the Crisis.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6.-There
was only one development of impor-
tance in the coal strike situation to-
day. Frank p. Sargent, commissioner
of immigration, and for many years
chief Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, had. a long interview
with President Roosevelt, and left
Washington very soon afterwards. Mr..
Sargent indicated that the interview
concerned the coal strike. From the
fact that he has always been infiuen-
tial with labor organizations, it is gen.
orally believed that he is entrusted
with a message to President Mitchell,
of the Miners union. 1t is also said
that Mr.. Sargent is to meet Mr.. Mitch
ell in Philadelphia and deliver the
message of the president urging that
the miners end the strike in the in
terests of the public.
While many propositions have been
under discussion, it is almost certain
that the administration is taking up
only one plan at time. The present
plan is that outlined in the press dis
patches Saturday and Sunday, and
contemplate an end of the strike by
the action of President Mitchell and
his associates and full investigation
of the mining conditions later. No
hope is entertained that anything can
be accomplished through the coal OPP
orators since the attitude they took at
the conference Friday. Should the
movement now on foot fail, there
seems to be no other plan which pre-
sents a feasible solution of the prob
lem.
While it Is generally believed that
President Roosevelt has sent direct
appeal to Mr.. Mitchell, there was no
confirmation of such action obtainable
at the White house.
