At the nesting on River street
last night g Waller, Democratic
candidate for the Senate, not only
denied that the election, whatever
the outcome, would affect the price
of meate, but showed that the Re.
publican party was directly and sole
ly responsible for the higher prices
that have prevailed here since an
nexation. Prior to annexation there
was no duty on meats. By annexa.
tion the Islands inherited tax on
meats of from two to four cents a
pound. Prior to annexation Austria
ian beef and mutton were brought
in here by the ton; after annexation,
that wss impossible.

The protection thus afforded
American meats induced Hawaiian
grazsrs to advance the price to ten
cents pound straight. This made
it necessary for the meat dealers to
advance their own prices to make
ends meet. Thus the Republican
tariff policy, and nothing else, is rob-
bipg the people out of from two to
four cents pound on meats and
turning the same into ths pockets
of the cattle raisers of Hawaii and
the mainland. There can be a tyem-
endous readjustment of this system
without serious injury to the rauch-
ing business, and the Democrats
may safely be depended upon to
bring it about

very disparaging things of such treat

for another store where he will receive
more courteous treatment. This seems
very much like reversal of the wise
old saw, "A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush," and we know that in
several instances customers have been
lost by such discrimination. The

MEASURES FOR PROTECTION AGAINST
FIRE.-The closure of places of amuse.
ment in Chicago now extends to halls
as we'll a. theaters, and it is impossible
to hold any secular public meeting ex.
cept out doors. The restriction doe Q
not, however, apply to churches or
lodge meetings. There are 5000 halls
in the city, cable of holding from so
to 500 people, and most Of them are
fire-traps. Theaters are said to be
losing $4,000 per day, and there
are 5000 actors out of employment
and $1,000 people are affected directly
and indirectly in the city. Then many
other cities have adopted stringent
measures for protection of life from
fire, and many have closed fire.traps
until suitable provision is made against
the recurrence of such tragedies.

A MATTER OF ADVENTURE IN NAM
MOTH New SPAPERS.-One of the vex.
atoms of mammoth editions of city
newspapers, is the carrying of articles
from page to page and placing the
continuation at times in places as
hard to find as the 14-15 puzzle, the
fad some years ago, was difficult to
solve. Our honest, fair and candid
opinion is that these abnormally large
editions are a nuisance. How often
do we hear the lugubrious expression,
when handling the forty or fifty-page
monstrosity, at makes me tired be-
fore l begin to read it," The rivalry
of these publishers has obscured the
fact that voluminousity and verbosity
are not always luminosity and logic,
or in other words that quantity cannot
in this fast age compensate for quail
ity. One thing we ask, however, for
patient and long suffering public: II
scare heads must prevail on the first
page, don't percolate the dismal tide
OF detail over hali-a-dozen pages, mixed
up in inexplicable confusion with 9th.
or news. Better do like an ancient
writer once did, place the scare-heads
in page or two of addenda. to be used
when required, as he did punctuation
marks, with the frank admission that
he did not know where to place them

PASSING PATTI.-The San Francisco
Examiner. in commenting upon the
appearance OF Patti as a singer, at the
age of 81, says that her voice is but
can echo Of the past" q phantom Of
the old tone being apparent only in
the middle register" but many OF the
auditors were pleased that they would
hereafter have it to say that they had
heard Patti in her prime and thus were
able to draw . contrast between her
appearance and execution, then and
now, and to render with becoming
cOmplaceucy the oraculAr dictum that
Peerless Patti ia only a tradition"
Doubtless Patti is too old to care
much for these criticisms, which carry
the sweet with the bitter in an &C.
acknowledgement of past achievements,
and any break in the harmony is
perfectly blended by the chink OF the
5000 golden dollars received for each
performance aud fifty per cent. on

Loss Of the Clallam.

Another of those heart-rending ca
lamities that have come so frequently
the past few months, took place in the
straits at an early hour Saturday
morning, whereby over half hundred
people met death in its most horrible
form. The nearness of the late disas-
ter but adds to the shock, for quite q
number Of the victims had relatives
and friends at different points on the
Sound.
1t was in a terrific gale, early Friday
afternoon, midway between Smith
Island and pungeness Spit, that the
effects OF the fierce storm raging be-
came known to the officers of the i'll
fated craft, and later in the day three
life boats, freighted with human be-
ings, put off from the ship but soon
went down within sight of those still
on board. The Clallam was, at that
time, within about four miles of Vic
toria, when, in the greatest distress
and often hope had been abandoned of
saving the vessel, and her flags of dis
tress were visible and seen by people
in that city, not a ship-master would
go to her relief, from the alleged wild
ness of the elements. Still a steam
schooner passed out, in plain view,
without taking the slightest notice Of
the distress signals. Finally about 7
o'clock the steamer Iroquois circled
the island but reported that she saw
nothing of the Clallam. When it is
borne in mind that the steamer was
about eleven hours battling for life
and safety Of those aboard, it seems
strange that nothing could have been
done from shore for at least saving
the lives of the unfortunate passen-
gers.
About o'clock the fate of the vessel
had been sealed, when the dashing
waves had broken in her headlights
and the water in her hold had attained
a height which extinguished the fires.
This, of course, rendered use of the
steam pumps impossible, and the wa.
ter constantly rising, notwithstanding
the hand pumps we're kept going, in
Dictated that she was filling from some
unknown leak, aside from the ports,
which had been to some degree closed
by blankets and timbers. The water
reached the armpits OF her gallant
stokers, however, before effort WAS re-
linquished to keep the fires burning.
Between 9and 10 O'Clock the tug
Richard Holyoke appeared and took
the Clallsm in tow, and for three
hours attempted to haul her towards
Port Townsend, the force of the tenn
pest making any other direction i'm
possible. She had made about twelve
miles, when it became evident that
the Clallam would soon founder, and
all effort was then directed towards
getting the passengers aboard the tug.
About l o'clock the vessel took the
plunge, and the work of picking up
the survivors began. The tug Sea
Lion appeared in time to do much SER
vice in the rescue work.
There were aboard the Clallam, at
the time of the disaster, SO passengers
and 81 of crew, a total of 80. OF
these, 36 we're saved. The number of
male passengers lost was 26, and
female Is; children 5, and of crew
9. Thirteen passengers were rescued
and % OF the crew.

Tricks That Are Vain.

Mr.. Schively, who addressed the
Republican Club, Monday night, is an
adroit politician and a skillful debater
we use the word advisedly, for he
sets up images and vanquishes them.
He says that in youth he allowed his
mind to soar amid interstellar space to
accustom it to grasp and handle large
figures. That he was successful is
evident and to to show his proficiency
he launched forth into most fornid
able array of figures; millions and
billions, that he affixed to financial
and trade conditions, and tossed them
about with adroitness OF a Hindoo
juggler, always placing them on final
throw 50 as to prove the proposition he
is engaged in establishing. His con-
illusions, like the cat, always come
back to prove and justify his premises.
Nobody. OF course, remembers for a
moment, the figures quoted, and
would undoubtedly experience much
difficulty in finding them if the men,
DRY was taxed with the burden OF
carrying them till statistics could be
overhauled. 1t matters little to the
speaker whether his figures are true
or false, for that matter, for there was
nobody ready to dispute their accuracy
even if disposition was felt to en-
gage in a harrangue with man who
by lifelong practice has achieved the
skill of the street fakir in turning
everything to account.
The speaker made the most OF his
connection with the Ohio campaign,
and seemed to think that Hanna made
wise choice in the selection of a man
to delude the masses by the tricks and
fnesse OF a trained campaigner.

SOME WONDERFUL INVENTIONS
Engineer Pine, of Genoa, Italy, has in
vented two marvellous devices for re-
covery of lost treasures in the sea; one
for location, which may be called a
submarine telescope, and the other an
elevator by which any object may be
picked from the bottom Of the ocean
in ordinary depths. The first is called
a microscope, which may be made to
cast a map OF the sea.bottom on a
screen, presenting q panorama of the
oceans depth over which the observer,
simply seated in ships cabin, passes.
The elevator is still more wonderful,
for il is claimed that it will be able to
lift the largest iron-clad from the
depths. The inventor is only % years
Of age, and if the predictions of those
who have witnessed the operation Of
the microscope and have had the oper-
alton of the submarine elevator ex-
planned are realized, he will be the
leading inventor of the age before he
arrives at the meridian of manhood,
for who can estimate the value Of
treasure that may be recovered from
the remorseless Deep, if the claims OF
these two discoveries are verified?
