The Publicity Bill.

In recent interview Mr.. Perry
Belmont. the leader of the movement
demanding publicity as to campaign
funds. expresses the conviction that
congress will act favorably upon the
bill introduced by Mr.. Mccall of Mas
sachusetts.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Belmont s
confidence will not be disappointed,
for though the Mccall bill does not
meet every requirement, still it is a
step in the right direction. The bill
prohibits contributions from corpora
tons quite effectually. but fails 10 pro
vide for such publicity as is desirable.
However. there is no doubt that this
prohibition is desirable 1t would not
go very far. and it would not touch the
source of the largest tribute received.
II will. however. get very close to the
protected interests. and. perhaps. rob
these interests of the enormous influ-
ence they exert upon elections.
This presuppose that such SUFFERING
es as the one resorted to by one of the
life insurance companies comes within
the penalty of the bill. If not. then
Mr.. Mccall and Mr.. Belmont are
whistling up a tree that contains Meth
er fruit nor meat

CHRISTMAS MAIL
HEAVIEST ON RECORD
THIS YEAR THE MAIL SURPASSED
EASILY.

The Christmas mail this season has
been heavier than any previous mail
according to the local postal author
tiles. There has been a large amount
sent out from the entire islands and
many sacks of packages have been
received. The Inter island mail has
been uncommonlY heavy both coming
and going and the mails to the coast
have been full.
Owing to the timely arrival of steam
ers the mail at no time became bunch
ed and it was 1ue to this that it was
distributed speedily and people were
not forced to await their mail long
after the steamers arrived.
The entire postal staff has been
working over time for the last three
weeks and they are looking forward
eagerly until they can again have a
chance to rest.
Postmaster Pratt stated this morning
that the postal business for the entire
year was greater than during any pre-
vious year. This speaks well for the
growth of Honolulu for there is no
better index to the amount of busi-
ness in a town than the postoffice and
the records of mail matter handled.
The postmaster is to have tables COM
pleted showing the amount of business
done this year.

CaStaWayS
On Midway
Must Wait
RESCUE OF CARROLLTON CREW
is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HAS NO ORDERS.

1t is for the ships owners and the
Washington authorities to say what
shall be done with the men composing
the crew of the American bark Carroll
ton wrecked the other day at Midway.
This morning w. G. Irwin & Co, to
whom the coal cargo of the Carrollton
was consigned, received cable ad-
vices form New York, from the people
representing the cable ship Restorer,
now in this port and about to leave
for Midway, to the effect that the mat
ter was in the hands of the Treasury
Department at Washington as to whe-
ther or not the Revenue Cutter Man
ming would be sent to Midway to take
aboard the castaways and the Res
torer could do nothing until the mat
ter had been settled between the ships
owners in San Francisco and the
Washington authorities.
The presumption is that the owners
have asked held from Washington. The
Revenue Cutter Manning, Captain
Joynes has as yet received no instruc-
tions from the Treasury Department,
nor has the Restorer, Captain Combe,
heard from his New York people. The
Restorer will not take aboard the Car
rollton crew unless so ordered by her
agents. The Manning Is ready to go
if ordered.
Captain Joynes of the Manning
knowing that the Restorer was going
to Midway thought the Manning could
be saved a trip and asked Irwin & Co.
to communicate with the Restorer
people i'm New York, with the result
above noted.

New Year greetings of the local sons
of Nippon to their fellow countrymen.
A large number are being received
also.
The Japanese have taken a great
fancy to the postal cards. One of the
influences no doubt which tends to
foster this craze is the fact that postal
cards can be sent for 2 cents each
while letters come at cents each. At
cents each, Uncle Sam is about $1,000
in on postage stamps.
Postmaster Pratt stated this morn
ing that the Japanese were always
great patrons on postal cards but the
latest batch going out far surpasses
any previous record The fact that
New Year is a great day with them to
give and receive the compliments of
the season probably explains the large
number passing through the mails.
