I'UE.SIDKXT DOl.K'S TlllHl TK. The New York Pre*# culls attention to the closing- words of the dignified, courageous and convincing document in which President Dole of Hawaii responded to the impudent demand of lirover Cleveland that the Provisional Government should surrender to the bloodthirsty savage who had been deposed from the throne she. disgraced, and says they eminently deserve to be treasured in the American memory. They emphasize both the claims of Hawaii upon the affection of the American people, and the folly and atrocity of the conspiracy in which an American President has been the leadingactor. "We have done your government no wrong." declares President Dole. "No charge of discourtesy is or can be brought against us. Our only issue with your people has been that because we revered its institutions of civil liberty, we have desired to have them extended to our own distracted country, and because we honor its flag, and deeming that its beneficent and authoritative presence would be for the best interests of all of our people, we have stood ready to add our country, a new star, to its glory, and to consummate a union which we believed would be as" much for the benefit of vour country as ours. If this is an offense, we plead guilty to it." This, says the I'mis. may be an offense in the eyes of the would be autocrat who occupies the chair of Chief Magistrate of the United Mate, but in every true American the eloquent tribute to our country's glory from the statesman who has recently guided with such admirable wisdom, discretion and success the fortunes of Hawaii, will inspire sentiments of sympathy and pride.
11A N 111' ITC 'HIKE ATE NEW. President Cleveland in his message to Congress no longer ago than December 5, said. "It is estimated upon the basis of present revenue laws that the receipts of the government for the year ending June 30. 1SU4. will result in a deficiency of S28.000.IW0." Secretary Carlisle now comes forward with a statement in which he says tnat the deficiency at the end of the fiscal year. June 30 next, will be STf,107,532. This certainly is a deplorable condition. It signifies, in plain words, that the revenue is not sufficient to pay the ordinary public expenses. And yet Congress goes right along and proposes to pass a bill which will still further reduce the revenues by 875.000. To provide for this deficiency the Secretary asked Congress to grant him authority to issue three per cent, bonds. There being not much probability that Congress would grant such authority he proposes to issue the long-term four per cent, bonds authorized by old acts. Will the country endure such financiering? The people know that the Treasury is short of money only because of the revenue smashing bill now pending in Congress. They know that the secretary needs to borrow money only to carry through a scheme of breaking down protection, throwing away 87 ",-'0.000 of revenue now derived from duties, and compelling the millions to pay that sum in direct taxes. When the Republicans again assume control all the appearances indicate that they will find the condition of the Treasury much the same that it \va» in ltiiii. The Democratic party is a party of incapacity.
Jl'ixih Lo.vc, has written Commissioner of Pensions Lochren a letter in which he scathingly reviews the motives and conduct of the head of the Pension liurcau. Criticising the construction which the Commissioner has placed upon the recent act of Congress prohibiting suspension without notice. •Judge Long says:
Of how little avail would be the last act of congress if it is to be construed as you claim. Under your construction of it you could, by giving tliirtv days notice, suspend every pensioner on the roll and compel them to make new proofs. If they fail to do this within the time prescribed, they would be dropped from the roll. It has taken years to prepare aud furnish these proofs and with an army of clerks in the Pension Oflice. it has taken years to read and pass upon them, lie fore new proofs could be furnished a generation would have passed awav and the great majority of the soldiers now living would be beyond the reach of earthly aid. Millions of dollars are annually paid in pensions and you could, if what yon claimed be true, "entirely suspend the payment of this vast amount of money within thirty days. If you possessed such power as this then you would indeed be greater than any other man in this Republic.
TIIK House committee on pensions, of which a rebel from Georgia, Moses by name, is chairman, has ordered a favorable report on the bill to repeal that section of the revised statutes which says: "No money on account of pension shall be paid to any person, or to the widow, children or heirs of any deceased person, who in any manner voluntarily engaged in. aided or abetted the late rebellion against the United States." The next step by the party which is in the saddle will be to grant pensions to rebels. The pension roll will then be a roll of honor in the eyes of these men.

"1 then proceedcO "to make a careful examination of the room, which confirmed me in my opinion as to the murderer's height, and furnished me with the additional detail as to the Trichinopoly cigar and the length of his nails. I had already come to the conclusion, sirre there were no signs of a struggle, that the blood which covered the floor had burst from the murderer's nose in his excitement. I could perceive that the track of blood coincided with the track of his feet. It is seldom that any man. unless he is very full-blooded, breaks out in this way through emotion, so I hazarded the opinion that the criminal was probably a robust and ruddy-faced man. Events proved that I had judged correctly. "Having left the house, 1 proceeded to do what Gregson had neglected. I telegraphed to the head of the police at Cleveland, limiting my inquiry to the circumstances connected with the marriage of Enoch Drebber. The answer was conclusive. It told me that Drebber had already applied for the

protection of the law against an old rival in love, named Jefferson Hope, and that this same Hope was at present In Europe. I knew now that I held the clew to the mystery in my hand, and all that remained was to secure the murderer. "I had already determined in my own mind that the man who had walked into the house with Drebber was none other than the man who had driven the cab. The marks in the road showed me that the hotse had wandered on In a way which would have been impossible had there been anyone in charge of it. Where, then, could the driver be, unless he were inside the house? Again, it is absurd to suppose that any sane man would carry out a deliberate crime under the very eyes, as it were, of a third person, who was sure to betray him. Lastly, supposing one man wished to dog another through London, what better means could he adopt than to turn cabdriver? All these considerations Jed me to the irresistible conclusion that Jefferson Hope was to be found among the jarveys of the metropolis. "If he had been one there was no reason to believe that he had ceased to be. On the contrary, from his point of view, any sudden change would be likely to draw attention to himself, lie would probably, for a time at least, continue to perform his duties. There was no reason to suppose that lie was going under an assumed name. Why should he change his name in a country where no one knew his original one? I therefore organized my streetArab detective corps, and sent them systematically to every cab proprietor in London until they ferreted out the man that I wanted. How well they succeeded and how quickly I took advantage of it are still fresh in your recollection. The murder of Stangerson was an incident which was entirely unexpected, but which could hardly in any case have been prevented Through it, as you know, I came into possession of the pills, the existence of which 1 had already surmised. You see the whole thing is a chain of logical sequences without a break or flaw." "It is wonderfull" I cried. "Your merits should be publicly recognized. You should publish an account of the case. If you won't, I will for you." "You may do what you like, doctor," he answered. "See here I" he continued, handing a paper over to me "look at this! look at this!"
It was the Echo for the day. and the paragraph to which he pointed was devoted to the case in question. "The public," it said, "have lost a sensational treat through the sudden death of the man Hope, who was suspected of the murder of Mr. Enoch Drebber and of Mr. Joseph Stangerson. The details of the case will probably never be known now, though we are Informed upon good authority that the crime was the result of an old-stand-ing and romantic feud, in which love and Morinonism bore a part. It seems that both tho victims belonged, in their younger days, to tho Latter-Day fiaints, and Hope, the deceased prisoner, hails also from Salt Lake City. If the case has had no other effect.it at least brings out in the most striking manner tho cfllciency of our detective police force, and will serve as a lesson to all foreigners that they will do wisely to settle their feuds at home and not to carry them on to Ilritish soil. It is an open secret that the credit of this smart capture belongs entirely to the well-known Sootland Yard officials, Messrs. Lestrade and Gregson. The man was apprehended, it appears, in the rooms of a certain Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who has himself, as an amateur, shown some talent in the detectivo line, aud who, with such instructors, may hope in time to attain to some degree of their skill. It is expected that a testimonial of some sort will be presented to the two officers as a fitting recognition of their services." "Didn't I tell you so when we started?" cried Sherlock Holmes, with a laugh. "That's the result of all our study In scarlet to get them a testimonial!" "Nevermind," I answered "I have all the facts in my journal and the public shall know them. In the meantime you must make yourself contented by tho consciousness of success, Jilja the Roman miser— 'Populus mo slbilat, at mlhl plaudo Ipse doml slmul ao nummou coniemplar In area.' [TUB END.]

THE BURGLAR'S TOOLS.
How the Nefarious Workers of the Nlfi ht Obtain Tlivlr Tools. Every little while, says the lioston Dally Globe, the police arrest a man with a kit of burglars' tools in his possession, and one naturally wonders where they all oome from. It is easy to buy a gun of any description, and the most reputable citizen would not be ashamed to be seen purchasing the most wicked looking knife ever made but who would know where to get a slungsliot, or a jiminie, or a devico for drilling into a safe, or any of the many tools used by the professional burglar in the pursuit of his calling? There probably are places in many large cities where these things are made and sold to the users, but such places are scarce. Once in awhile the police find such a factory, and then things go hard for the proprietors. It may seem a little strange to learn that most of the tools used in burglaries are made by mechanics vho are respectable men ia the community.
When a burglar wants any particular tool made he goes to a mechanic who can do the job, and pays him perhaps five times what it is actually worth for making the tool and keeping still about it. Superintendent Elbridge of the police department recalls many cases of this kind that have come to light in Boston. One in partioular oocurred throe years ago, when an escaped convict named Williams went to a blacksmith in Roxbury and got him to make a lot of drills to bo used in safe cracking. He personally superintended the tempering of tho steel, and when the job was nearly completed it leaked out and Williams was arrested. In this instance, the blacksmith know nothing of the use to which the tools were to be put, and escaped punishment. In the opinion of Superintendent Elbridge most of the tools used If burglars are secured in this way. The only regular establishment where they were made ever discovered in Boatoa was at the West End. This was years ago, and the place was soon broken up.
EFFECT OF AIR ON COAL.
Facts Coucernloff tho Ventilation of Large Quantities. A thorough and scientific examination made by an English chemist on the effect of air and ventilation on coal gives the following results: 1. The danger of spontaneous firing of coal in largo lumps is very slight, but is much greater with smaller coal and still greater with dust, the increase of danger being dlie to the larger extent of surface exposed to the air in proportion to tho mass of coal. 2. Airdried coal which contains more than tlireo per cent, of moisture is dangerous, but if it contains less tho danger diminishes, the moisture contained being a measure of tho absorbent power of tho coal for air, and the more absorbent tho coal the more dangerous. 3. Tho danger is somewhat increased by the presence of pyrites in large quantity. 4. Newlywon coal should be shielded from tho air as much as possible to prevent the chance of rapid heating, and for the same reason it is best not to stack it in large heaps, since these retain the heat. 5. All external sources heat, •such as steam pipes, boilerr nd hot flues In the neighborhood of the coal add very greatly to the risk, spontaneous heating becoming vastly more rapid when it is assisted from without. Of course, these conclusions havo special relation to coal that is stored or shipped in cargoes.
TIIK persistent cough, which usually follows an attack of the grip, can be permanently cured bv talcing Chamberlain's Cough Kennedy. W. A. Mctiuire of McKay. Ohio, says: "La grippe left me with a severe cough. After using several different medicines without relief. I tried Chamberlain Cough Remedy. which affected a permanent cure. I have also found it to be without an equal for children, when troubled with colds or croup. 35 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye &, llooc. druggists.

Wlmt Will Do It I
Medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts* to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Eiy's Cream Malm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else lias ever done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. Our druggists keep it. ..
Anoi a year ago I took a violent attack of la grippe. I coughed day and night for about six weeks: my wife then suggested that 1 try Chamberlain's Cough Iteinedy. At first I could see no difference, but still kept taking it. and soon found that it was what I needed. If 1 got no relief from one dose I took another, and it was only a few days until I was free from the cough. think people in general ouglr to know the value of this remedy, and I take pleasure in acknowledging the benefit 1 have received from it.
