Commissioner to Honolulu has returned.
He is reticent on tlie subject of hiri mis

rate for the hearing of the Secretary of

which has U-en in progress ahout the

Kkiukts from the grain producing
Fectionsof the country indicate a fair
average yield, although the drought has
played havoc here and there with the
c irn crop. The. worst reports oMlie
wheat crop come trom Kansas, where a
few localities show a yield of hut five
hushels to the acre. In Michigan, on
the contrary, wheat thrashers report in
gome districts a product of thirty bushels
per acre. The means for moving the
enormous grain crops are still sought
earnestly by Western bankers; but thus
far sought in vain.
A costkmi-ouaky remarks: Now
adays when a mill stops for repairs, or
a mine is closed by the drought, or a
burglar gets away with the assets of a
bank, or a "boom'' bursts from too
much spread, it is set down in the sen
sational protectionist uewspajiers as the
result of prosjK'ctive legislation not yet
formulated or accomplished. Out of the
emliers and ashes of the money scare
they seek to kindle a tariff scare. It is
a lost laltor. The scarecrow- has liecome
so tattered with long use that the people,
can no longer be fooled bv it.
The news comes from Paris that af
ter months of discussion the Jiehring
sea tribunal of arbitration has completed
its work and announced its decision in
regard to the sealing islands in that sec
tion. A close season is established from
May 1 to July 21 ; a protected zone is s
tablished extending for ti miles' around
the islands; pelagic sealing is allowed
outside the one in llehring sea from
Aug. 1, but the use of tlrearms in seal
ing is prohibited. The American arbi
trators have expressed their satisfaction
with the text of the decision.
W. I.. W 1 1 son of West Virginia, the
new chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, says he believes the commit
tee will go to work promptly at a re
vision of the tariff. This docs not
necessarily mean that a bill w ill lie re
ported very soon, as the work will take
considerable time. He would not un
dertake to predict what the committee
would tlo, but saitl he thought the party
was in a situation to perfect a broad ami
general revision of the tariff in accord
ance w ith its pledges to the people.
Thick k is a opular clamor in Kcuador
for a declaration of war against Pern, to
take revenge for atrocities said to have
been commit tetl by Peruvians during the
dispute over the boundary ami in viola
tion of the status-un. The Peruvian
consul at Panama, ollicially denies the
rumor that Peru would be unable to re
spond to a challenge to tight tin account
of trouble at home. The Liberal leaders
who were imprisoned on charges of lur
ing concerned in the recent alleged revo
lutionary movement, termed the dyna
mite conspiracy, have lieen liberated.
Willi. K there are a good many I Vmo
cratic Senators, says the Pittsburg 7W,
who opptiso the repeal of the Sherman
law and favor free coinage, it is not be
lieved they will join in any filibustering
movement to prevent a vote in the seriate.
Such tactics will probably lie confined to
the senators from the silver states. This
would discredit it. It will be very dif
fereut filibustering against the repeal of
the Sherman law and filibustering against
the force bill. Public opinion sustained
senattirs in defeating the force tiill by
every means in their powei. It meant
revolution, and invited revolutionary
methods to defeat it.
The Populists and ultra-free coinage
Senators have determined to obstruct the
passage of the bill to extend national
bank circulation by offering innumliera
ble substitutes and amendments. In
sho rt, they have decided to practically
tillibuster against it and the Senate lead
ers now admit that they have no hope of
gettiug the bill through in time to afford
material relief. They will keep it liefore
the Senate and will tlo their best in iu
behalf, but, before they can tight down
the opjiosition, the silver question will
have to tie made the regular order,

Xy two- LhirdLs majority.
On Saturday evening the state depart
ment sent out to each loard of county
commissioners in the state sample bal
lots and blanks necessary to be used un
der the amended ballot law. I'nder the
provisions of the ballot law, as amended
by the last legislature, the work of voters-
at the coming election will le much
less intricate than at the last two elec
tions. The ollicial ballots will, of
course, le considerably smaller, as but
seven offices are to l-e tilled, but the
method of Voting has been Simplified
very materially and but little excuse re
mains for incorrect marking, a reason
seized upon in February last for throw
ing out many ballots when the count
was in progress.
The voter can now vote a straight ticket
by simply making a cross (x) in a circle
placed at the head of each column of
candidates, instead of being comjcl!ed
to make his cro-s after the party denom
ination above each group of candidates.
For instance, at the last NovemU-r elec
tion the voter voting a straight ticket
was comjielled to make eight (Tunks,
one each above the groups devoted to
presidential electors, congressmen at
large and .Midge of Supreme court, dis
trict congressmen, senators, represen
tatives and other county offices.
In splitting his ticket the voter has
only to make a cross in the square at
the right of the name of each candidate
voted for, care leing taken not to mark
in the circle at the ht ail of either column.
The Prohibition candidates will this
year have a column of their own and a
blank column will In provided on the
olluial ballot in which to write the
names of candidates nominated by nom
ination papers or for whom the voter,
for some reason, desires to ca:-t his bal
lot. An amendment that will obviate the
throw ing out of so large a numlier of
ballots as heretofore, provides that "if a
voter marks more names than he is en
titled to vote for an otlice, or if for any
reason, it is impossible to determine the
voter's choice for any in 1-e tilled, his
ballot shall not le counted for such of
fice, but shall U counted for all other
offices for which the names of candi
dates have lieen projierly marked."
It was wise, says the New York Suit,
for Mr. Cleveland not to projiose any
financial legislation in place of the Sher
man act. The Sherman act in itself is
not prized by anybody; even the extreme
silver men wi.-h to use it only us a
means of com iel ling legi.-iation more
favorable to silver. In limiting his
recommendation Mr. Cleveland to-k safe
and impregnable ground. Had he ven
tured into the assertion of a plan of his
own, he could hardly have failed to irri
tate the inemliers of Congress whoe
views of the remedies necessary for the
cure of the existing financial evils were
different from his own. It would be a
queer view of the constitutional duty of
the K.xecutive iu making reeomeiida
dations to Congress to hold that he has
not the right to tie reticent or vague
when clear language lo Congres-s might
defeat the very purpose he has in view
and injure the public welfare.
The greatest share of the resionsihilty
rests with Congress, and there Mr. Cleve
land has properly left it. In former
years his opinions ahout silver were fjeely
and dogmatically expressed, but it is evi
dent that the seriousnesp'aiitl w ide extent
of the financial troubles have impressed
him Kiwerfully; and it is credible to his
modesty as well as lo his patriotism that
he has practiced repression of his per
sonal views.
What better standing place for Con
gress is ther" than the I k'liioc ratio plat
form? Mr. Cleveland h:is followed that
and like that, is sitive in demanding
the repeal of the makeshift Sherman
Ht-t, and vague as to the means by which
the currency is to lie regulated ami the
parity of the gold and sdver secured and
maintained. It is for Congress to inter
pret the financial plank and out of its
some'vhat nebulous slfajielcssness to de
duce the fitting ImmIv of law.
Ol'K cinteniMirary the llmild admits
that the tannery in this place closed
down last year, but "from an entirely
different reason from this year." "This
year" as the ( says "it is closet! lie
cause the Iemocratie party, the party of
Free Trade, and which now controls the
government, has thrown the country
into a State of distrust never Iw-fore lie
fore dreamed of." Iu-t year when the
g. o. p. was in full jiower, when Itenja
min Harrison was at the helm, when the
tariff beneficiaries imagined they had
entrenched themselves behind a llepuli
lican Senate that it would take years to
dislodge, any shut dow ns mti.-t haveltn
from the Republican standpoint from
some entirely dif fereut cause. The labor
reductions and shutdowns of last year
from Homestead down to the F.lenshurg
tannery, which were but the harbinger of
this year and which are the logical result of
the over-production caused by a horde
of tariff-fed bantling industries that,
in dull times, must go to the wall, are
to lie attributed to anything short of the
real cause. Hut that is nothing new;
it is the old fake of claiming that all
blessings How from protection and the
tariff, and all ills are due to anything
that interfertu with the Republican grip
on the public teat.
Congressman Cooi-ek, of Florida, in
the tie hate in Congress on the silver
question a few days ago. hit the nail
squarely on the head, when he saitl:
"I cannot resist saying one thing, and
that is that when the Democratic party
had governed the country for four years,
at the end of Mr. Cleveland's term, it
turned the country over to the Republi
can party prosperous and hippy. The
Republican party turned it hack to the
DemocraU in a condition of depression,
with the country going over the finan
cial precipice into the abyss of disaster.
The Democratic platform at Chicago de
clared for the coinage of gold and silver
at an equal intrinsic value, and the men
who now stand for free coinage of silver
undertake to override the Democratic
j4t!oriu. And they cannot do it.

Oliver Invented and Gave to tho
World the Chilled Plow.
mmmt OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
MADE ONLY BY THE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows on
the face of the glole.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade
on the good name of the Oliver.
Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
sWOnce more Deware of "bogus" Oliver, plows ami repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Wi.hk-i,
South Bend, Indiana.
