Honolulu, Oct. 20. The stationing of
garrison bore him brought about more
turmoil and anxiety than did the revo
tioue In the day before there was stable
government.
First, there wan foraging by lorntol
the soldiers, la which gardens, orchards
and melon pntcbes saffered as property
bad never suffered Id any revolution the
islands bad known, and some of the for
aging extended to the looting of Isolated
Chinese stores, the holding up of pedes
trians and violent crimes attempted
against the person of others. This was
quickly checked by stern discipline.
Then for two hours one nlKbtthe town
was in a reign of terror, Inspired by the
(not that Limit. Whmtlock of the 1st New
York, In command of the provost guard,
togrtber with his friend, Lieut. Merrlam
of Ut'U.' King's stuff, in a moment of ar
tificial exhilaration, di'darnd martlet
law, arreted or ran off the streets all
itiseiis they found, and nearly precipi
tated a riot with the police.
(Jfn, King, af'r snubbing the ladies of
the ited irons Huciety, as they thlnk,bas
just reached a breathing spell lu aeon
trovttrxiiil eorreepoudeuee with district
niuglHtrate W. Luther Wilcox, In which
bn has neither sileuoed his opponent nor
raised himself iu the estimation of the
public.
To cap the cllmsi, the medical depart
Kent of the garrUon, after deliterately
relunliig iheco operation of th health
department of the city in preeerring san
itary eruditions lu the csiups, has an
epidemic of typhoid fever, a hoepital
Oiled to oyei flowing, and, in a pauic, has
ordered a removal of both camp aud
boepiial to another locality, whlnh, so
. far as the experience of the health de
partment Koee, is no better thsn the
Iireewul eite if the camp on the slopes of
intuitu ti lieeil, winch is considered a
pariicuiarly salubrious spot.
Ueii. King's joii 1 roverxy with Magls
trute Wilcox really grow out of the es
capade of the two young officers who de
clared martial law and luauuurated the
reign of terror, lu view of tbe fact that
the military had e,xtabliliHi a provost
guard dowu 1011 to look after disor
derly and intoxicated soldiers, the po
lice, out of CoUPewy, had Imen refine ted
not to erreBt soldiers HOpt lu nireine
aasee, but to la ire tumn, when drunk
and disorderly, to the provoet guard.
It whs lor luiw reason that tin young
ontcrs were able to carry on their high
Lauded and riotous conduct w ithout. In-
terfereuiM from the police, the letter
thinking that their orders did not allow
t beni to iHUrf-re, The next day afo-r
this the civil authorities, thinking that
On. Kiuit would summarily act in the
Dreinli.e-.ielt that to the military lu
tead of promptly cuiinitiif the arrmt of
the two officer. (Jen. K.ing, however.

Within twenty. four hours at erward he
Wae the KUet of the Kenral atudiuuer
ihii to a number of nhiner.
This action, or lack of action, so mor
tified the civil authontieM, iu View of the
courin.v it had ohowu the military, that
atrict orders were given the polio, to pay
DO attentiou to tha provoat guard, but
to arreat every s ildier who was drunk
or disorderly or otherwise violating the
civil law. This order was obeyed with
alacrity, and on each succeeding night
the polioHMtation was oiled with from
teu to nit soldiers, until this course
produced an era of aobriaiy among the
soldiers aud vigilance In the provost
sTnurd.
It was in sentencing one of them sol
diers that MagUirate Wiloox made the
remark which provoked the correspond
ence between bimaeif and (ieii. King. In
the courec of theae remark the magia
trttteeaid, as he was reported lu the
paiiers:

calculated to dishearten persons who
are interested in a continuation of good
government in Nebraska. It does seem
to me that it Is not p jaaible that we
have 20,000 or 30,000 voters In Nebras
ka who do not realize the value of their
vote, and yet that Is what th figures
tnll us we of Wayne couuty had 4 (JO or
fjOO of them more than our share and
every vota would have counted just the
tonne as Qeorirn i). Meikeijohn.
I learn by the pa iters that one William
McKinley who liv in Canton, Ohio, but
who is stoniiiiiir iu Wuehinitton tem
porarily, had to call In one of the judges
to assist nun in preparing nis ouiioi.
We have some of that cluss even in
Wayne county. One of my neighbors
has a flair to sell, lie came to town
early ou Tuesday morning and learned
that everything bad eone nis way. lie
went and bonuhta flair, I saw him go
out of town, I think one of the hnppieet
men I ever saw. The cause for his hap
piness made me miserable, hence you
may know we arediffarently constituted.
Now his huppiness has goue glimmering
while it is my lime to ue nappy 1 reaiiy
feel that it la tny duty to buy bis fltg
but we can get along without a flag
better than we can without grub.
Throuirh the Influence of that ever re
liable and always sure balance of power
vulgarly called the saloon, but which
should beknown as the educational In
stltute as that la where the cities aud
towns got the most of tbnlr school
money, our candidate for the legislature
was defeeated by a few votes. We bad
one of the best men In the two counties
on our ticket. Oue paper said be was
ton irood and .vet he was not good
enough for soma of our good Sunday
school teachers to support. I would
love to live long enough to sea men who
use these means to get into office dis
franchised. The modern idea of the
average candidate In our ball wick is, as
soon as be gets the nomination to get a
few boxes ol cigars (men who were never
known to smoke) and a ke of forty rod
and a lot of bottles and start out to Mod
friends and with us be finds them. Fairly
good men do these things, at least they
appear to oe an rignc in cuurcn matter.
1 have thought sometimes if we would
reduce the sularies down to where they
belong there would not be so much of
that done. We pick up a man who can't
make a living on one hundred and sixty
acres of laud, and there Is plenty of them,
we nut him into an olHce aud pay hi 111
M.UOO a year and we have to get the
money from those ohaus who can make
a living to pay these big salaries. Uenoe
1 say reduce the salaries all along the
line.
It would seem that the business men
were studying politics. I have often
wou lered why every business man was
not a reform voter. They must know
that unless the farmer and laborer
makes money they can not do business,
1 have a little document in my desk sent
out four years ago from Omaha. 1 think
It Is headed: " Hie (Justness M m Aseocia'
tlou". Now do you know if they were
to undertake to duplicate those names
It would r. auir a little red tape. They
would uavH to go to governor Holcomb
aud get a latrmit. tbau take the street
oars and go out where Mr, Iyidigh does
buiuess to get some of the more Uitl iMn
tial names. It may be that many of the
meu w o signed that document would
like the privilege of blotting their name
off. Let us hope so at least, it 1 can
get a pass I want to coma down and
see a real live fanner in that big chair In
thei(overuoreoffje. 8l he will have

We believe It would be much better to
let the greenbacks alone and increase
their volume. Leaving silver alone,
burning the greenbacks and treasury
notes would contract the legal tender
money over six hundred millions. This
would undoubtedly increase tha purchas
ing power of gold or In other words all
kinds of property would go still lower.
Hut what the people vote for they ought
to have.

we get there. The Injustice comes from

It would be iiupOHsibl to establish

lie adds that they must bava soma
form of colonial government, similar
to the Ilrltlsh colonial governments.
Regarding tba complaints of the
Filipinos, the general said: "It Is Im

I knsw it would lead to complications.
