EXPENDED
STATISTICS ON MONEY USED
FOR QUARANTINE WORK IS
GIVEN.

In response to the request made by
Governor Frear, Acting-GOvernor Mott
Smith has been looking into the figures
of what has been spent by the Terri
torial government for the control and
prevention of epidemics of contagious
disease, including that which has been
contributed by the merchants. The
money expended since May, 1900, reach
es the large total of $104, 31S 81.
OF this amount the Board of Health
spent ST. ,941 SO from the funds which
were placed at its disposal by Legisla-
tive appropriations, while the remand
er was contributed by the merchants
through the Shippers Wharf Commit
tees here and in Hilo. The local COM
mittee turned over to the Board of
Health the sum of $25, 594 80, while
the Hilo committee provided the sum
of $6,7S2 -, for the same purpose to
be used on Hawaii. Besides this the
merchants of this city gave $S,191 80,
which was used for the building Of
the Channel wharf, constructed espe-
cially for quarantine purposes, and
which was afterwards returned to them
in the form of a reimbursement, This
sum is not included In the total fig

TOUCHING" CABLE.

Acting-Governor Mott-Smith receiv-
ed a peculiar and at the same time
touching cablegram this morning
from c. H. Mcbride, Governor Frear's
stenographer. He states that Governor
Frear and he are due to reach this city
by the Alameda, which seems to be a
mistake, for there will not be time for
the Executive, who is still in Washing
ton, to reach San Francisco before the
Oceanic boat leaves. The touching"
part is the request that Mcbride be
cabled $50 for passage money.

STRANGE SLIP
IN POLICE COURT

In police court this morning a wit
ness was ordered to the stand and
had commenced testifying when it was
discovered that the defendant had not
been charged and was practically being
prosecuted without being complained
against. The prosecutor soon remedied
the situation, but the matter will have
to be recorded as one of the odd pleas
antries of police court proceedings.

Democratic Harmony.

"In recalling all the democratic con- ventions since 1872, I think it is safe to say that few of them were so har- monious as the Denver convention promises to be-" said a prominent citi- zen. Tn 1876, when MT. Tilden was nominated and elected, but not seated
 the party was thoroughly united. In 1880 it was paratively easy to nom mate General Hancock, although the democratic leaders were sharply divided on the tariff. The protection wing was very strong at that time and the tariff
 for-revenue- only democrats were not as aggressive then as they afterwards became. Hancock being war hero was greatly admired by the south as well as the north, but like most mili- tary men, had little taste for such un- imaginative things as political econo- my. And one of the reasons which in- duced both tariff factions to accept him as the standard bearer, was his very neutrality on the subject in question:
 Hancock never had much chance of winning, and when during the campaign he made the i'll advised remark, as a result of republican prodding, the tariff is only a local issue or words to that effect, the democrats practically threw up the sponge. Had he remained

The pro- duction in November was 118,3S9 tons; in December it fell to 97,952 tons. Before the financial storm af- fected the demand and prices this dis trict was making about 145,0 ,000 tons of coke pig iron a month.
 The country's total production in De- cember was 1,234,735 tons, as against 2,359,690 tons in October, a loss of nearly ohe-half.
 January was entered upon with a daily production of 31,S14 tons, point ing therefore to a production under a million tons during the month. But the month may become better as it

 Counting old Birmingham, 1t is an even dozen villages going into the makeup, which accounts for every municipal min now in Jones valley. However, if Bir- mingham-Greater Birmingham-can pave, sewer, water, light and police patrol this 42 miles of interconnected small towns there is little doubt but that the consoli- dation will redoupd to the interest of all. The press of the~city with one accord proclaim it a great victory in the march of progress and point, out that now Great CT Birmingham will stand for the vast mining wealth of Jones valley in pretty much the same way that Pittsburg repre- sents the mineral wealth of West Penn sylvania. Incidentally or primarily, we don't know which, Birmingham corraled about 51,000 more souls in this successful hunt, which, if one grants the claims of the old city, will swell the population of this new metropolis to about 130, ,OO0 in- habitants when the 1910 census is taken.
 We may remark in passing that Atlanta is as envious of Brminghain's venture in town-harvesting as ever old maid was of the attractive powers of youthful beauty.

However, the hunt for population is alive within her bosom, and if the Georgia leg islature will permit it, Atlanta will he found trying it.

NEW YORK'S SATURNALIA

{, cause on every hand arose the in- articulate chatter of beatifc drunken ness.
 Still another young woman-a dead | sea bloom, with her face burned to the color of ashes in the wild fires 1 of dissipation-put her feet on the l table and squal1ed like 8 drunken | muezzin.
 The entire scene was one of abnor- l nal appetites. abnormal purses, ab- normal pleasures and abnormal pas
 sions, and they were repeated in al-
 most every place where the jewellers | gathered throughout the city. | On the streets the tumult was great | CT and the drunkenness more free and unrepressed. Young men, who had
 never indulged in dissipation before in
 all their lives, lay helplessly along the
 side streets bisecting Broadway. | Women, without escorts, were wan tonly insulted, and there was seldom
 reprisal. I saw one woman in par | ticular constantly harassed by three
 men from Twenty seventh to Thirtieth street on Broadway in plain sight of | policeman. They caught her by the arms, wheeled her about, blew their | tin horns in her ears, and conducted l themselves in a most ruffanly manner. A citizen who interferred was called molycoddle and told to Ego about | his business"
 "Ain't 1t New Years night?" argued one of the three. When the woman eventually escaped, her clothing was | torn and she seemed ready to faint. While the horns and rattles and con- | fetti lent a carnival aspect to the scene, one could not help but observe the un- l derlying drunkenness and brutality among the crowd. This feature of the | celebration has deepened and broadened year by year for & generation or more. Where will it end? What will be it's | limit? When the present day New Year drunkards can clasp hands along | Broadway for miles, and the high kicks, | if measured altitudinously, would be i as high as the Singer building, what
 will the future bring forth?

less than $50, and the fine may be in creased to $500, or he may be impris- oned for a term not exceeding one year. The license itself and the fact of the marriage ceremony must be re- ported within thirty days to the clerk who issued the license. Provision is made in the bill for ample records, and the law has created no little stir in the populous state.
 Doubtless there are other states that keep no records of marriages, and full and complete records for the entire country are thus rendered difficult. Alabama has long required a license and the record that naturally goes with one. New York now requires the pros pectiye husband to give his full name, color, place of residence, age, oecupa- tion, place of birth, name of father and his country of birth, maiden name of mother, and her country of birth. Like information must be furnished by the prospective wife. The statement must also set forth whether either or both of the applicants had been previously married, whether the former husband or wife is living or dead, whether either of the applicants has been di- vorced, and if so when and where the divorce was granted, together with the assertion that no legal impeachment ex- ists as to the right of either to enter into the marriage state. New York may have been tardy in adopting a marriage law, but she certainly adopt ed good one when she got round to it.

From the Boston Transcript
 Patriotism in New York is cosmopol- itan. They have a flag drill in tho schools in which the children of every race and cline, al the hymn book says. are taught to salute the stars and stripes and give "their heads, their hands, and their hearts to their coun- try" And in some of the big down. town schools you may see children from homes German. Italian, Syrian. Scandinavian, Jewish, Hungarian, Chin ese, Armenian, Greek, and heaven knows how many other nationalities, all joining in this picturesque cere- mony. It gives one a realizing sense of the variety of material which is put into the crucible we call city, and which, in another generation or two, will be simply American.

 @ RITZ AUGUSTUS HEINZE has EO crowded stirring events into his SS years of life. A strilxing1y handsome man, with all the ability of the trained actor and experienced orator, he would probably have been a huge popular success as a minister of the gospel had he followed the calling mark ed out for him by his parents plain Germans, residents of Brooklyn. Heinze with a wonderfully keen mind. daring, ambitious and possessed of boundless con- fidence in his ability, had no thought of conining his career within the narrow limits of the Lutheran ministry
 Heinze was an importer, the head of a prosperous concern. The family lived on Pierrepent street, the aristocratic sec tion of Brooklyn a quarter of a century ago. &einze was born there on Decem- Der 5, 1869. As each of his sons became old enough to go to school the elder Heinze sent them to the Fatherland Fritz went when he was years old. He attended school in Hildesheim, and, re- turning when he was 15 told his mother: i:
 T am going to call myself Augustus. not Fritz. Before I went to Germany the boys here called me German Fritz and in Germany they called me Yankee Frank" Ever since then he has been known as F. Augustus Heinze, but by members of his family is still called Fritz
 Fritz graduated in mining engineering at Columbia university, and went to Butte Mont, where he got a job as in- side engineer at $5 a day, working hard Il hours a day. He gained practical knowledge in this way for five years, and when his grandmother died and left him s50000 Fritz branched out, and with his brother Arthur began to succeed. Heinze engaged in all sorts of law suits, suing right and left wherever he was opposed. He won a suit over the Es- trella mine from James A. Murray, and then bought the Rarus mine for $2250Oo. built smelters and bought other mines and railroads. Heinze got control of the Leroy mine, added branches to his mar

row-gauge road, and finally was doing so well with 1t that the Canadian Pa clfc paid him $1,2O0, 900 for the property. chiefly to get rid of such an energetic rival.
 When Heinze returned to Butte, in 1897 he was only 2S years old, but had the reputation of being one of the ablest min ing men and hardest fighters in that sec tion of the country. Heinze came into conflict with Marcus Daly over mining property, and later with the Standard oil companysAuhich formed the Amalgamated Copper company and took over the Daily interests In a short time Heinze had 60 law suits under way. Once Henry H. Rogers sent for him and offered to pay him S25O,0O0 for the Minnie Healy mine. Heinze calmly asked $10,0O0,0OO for 1t. In October, 1903, Heinze got a decision in the Minnie eEIaly case that was worth more than s1O,00O,00O to him. In February. 1906, Heinze and the Amalgamated set tied most of their differences on basis that put several millions into the young mans bank account. Ugly charges of bribing the judiciary were made against him but never proved. He bought news papers and started banks, and was power in politics. He put all of his mines into the United Copper company, an ESQ., GOO ,00O corporation, chartered in New Jer- sey in 1902.
 The real leaders in Wall street never took kindly to Henze He was too will ing to gamble on a huge scale, and the substantial element in the financial dis trict fought shy of him.
 He established his brothers Otto and Arthur in the Stock Exchange firm of Otto C. Heinze & Co.,, then bought con- trol of the Mercantile National bank from Edwin Gould and became it's president.
 Given the cold shoulder by the high class banking element, he took up with Charles ". Morse E. R. Thomas and Wall street men of that type and en- tered the directorates of several of the banks in the chains which these men established.
 Heinze was never a success in Wall street.

tor Iohnston's Tarlft Bill
iscussing Senator Johnston's ill the Pittsburg Post says:

jlll the Pittsburg Post says:
 ator Johnston of Alabama on Sat
 introduced into the United States
 e bill putting on the free list
 les whose price becomes 25 per cent
 fer in this country than their price in foreign countries. while the wages in connection with the manufacture of such articles are 25 per cent lower than Euro pean wages. No doubt this bill will ex- cite the bitter opposition of the stand patters, but it is one which calls atten- tion to the evils which the people of this country are now suffering from the pres ent excessively high tariff rates. They are paying unduly high prices for many articles manufactured in this country while at the same time our workmen are being paid less for their labor than for eign workmen are getting. Of course, the daily and weekly wages paid here are higher, but the compensation given work ingmen for each article produced is fre- quently lower here than abroad. owing to the larger daily output in this coun- try"
 The Post fayors tariff revision and schedules on revenue basis. It how ever fails to grasp the purport of Sen ator Johnston's bill That bill pro- Nides that whenever the market price of any article manufactured in this country is 25 per cent higher than the market price of a similar article in any foreign country and the wages paid to labor in this country in pro- ducing the article in question are not 25 per cent higher than the wages paid to labor in the foreign country, then the president shall place the article on the free list.
 Our protective tariff imposes duties that average 55 per cent, and the re- publican theory is that most of this goes to labor. Senator Johnston's bill provides that when the laborfne man does not get his share of the swag the duty shall be repealed
 If Senator Johnston's bill should be- come a law it would put so many holes 5n the Dingley tariff that no benefici. Rry could find shelter behind it. No republican senator can oppose Senator Johnston's bill without exposing his insinc erity. The bill will at any rate be discussed and it will at least serve to uncover the pretensions of the re. publicans so far as revision is con. cerned.

New York's Marriaue Laws

Up to January 1 New York practi- cally had no marriage regulations. No license was required, no report or re. cord was made, and common law marriage was as good and perhaps as often resorted to as any other kind.
 But the last legislature ended all this by passing law that is minute and full of penalties. A license must first be procured from the clerk of a city or township, and variety of in formation must be exacted by clerk before granting license. Any person who marries persons who have not procured license is to be fined not

Alaska and the Alaskans

William H. Seward bought Alaska, paying Russia in 1867 for it but $7,2O0,- GOO. It will roll up this year about $2S,000,000 in gold production, placing it ahead of Colorado or California, and making it by far our most productive district in the respect of the yellow metal. All told it has yielded over 200,0O0,o00, and this aggregate will be rapidly increased hereafter
 It is a valuable district, and It should be treated far better than it has been. It is asking for a degree of selfgovernment, for at present it is governed as province It has no voice whatever in the control of it's local affairs. It deserves a territorial form of government, and there is real ly no reason why it should not be granted that privilege. The president recommends it, the people of Alaska cry aloud for it, and congress should do it's plain duty. Congress should give the Alaskans as much selfrule as the people of Arizona have long en- joyed, and the greater part of the Ari- zonians speak another tongue. The Alaskans are Americans, speaking the English tongue. They are entitled to fair treatment, alike on account of

Cities of like area are Buffalo, with 100000 population; Cincinnati, with 450, ,0O0; Cleveland, with 525,00O: and Los Angeles with 100000.

 The hope of the world is in the per- feet organization of the agencies for the collection and distribution of news. The millennium will come as soon as we have an ideal newspaper press.
 If we are to have liberty we must have an enlightened public opinion. If we are to have an enlightened public opinion, we must have a comprehensive publicity. If we are to have comprehen- siye publicity, we must have a highly developed, sensitive, news organism. If we are to have this organism we must have news men not only trained in the mechanism of their craft, but conse- crated to their work, who will not sac rfice fact to sensationalism or truth to commercialism, or justice to greed or passion, but who will always be inspired by the conception that they are the God s annointed for the illumination of the world.
 In no other way than this, except, 1t may be, by a succession of panics, up- heavals and contentious, may we attain the golden mean, escaping both the perils of socialism and the abuses of individ- ualsm, securing combination without monopoly and competition without the demoralization of trade, retaining the beneficent uses of speculation without it's terrible abuses, making power more pow erful without tyranny, and liberty to prevail without anarchy, promoting re- ligion without superstition and ecclesi- astical craft, and advancing prosperity without the luxury that debases and cor ruptS,
