The SANDWICH IsLANDs.-A little work
entitled Sandwich Island Notes." has just
been published by the Harpers. 1t is by a
Harole, who avows himself to be an advo-
cate for annexation, because, to use his own
language, "the islands once possessed by
our government, would form nucleus from
which would radiate the blessings and ad-
vantages of American civilization over the
whole of Polynesia" The geographical po-
sition and extent of the group are thus sta
ted:
A mere glance at the map of the Western
Hemisphere will show that the Sandwich
or Hawaiian Islands-as they are officially
termed-are situated in the North Pacific
Ocean, between latitude Is deg, II min.
and % deg. 20 min. North, and longitude
l54 deg. SO min. and l60 deg 10 min. West.
They are nearly equi-distant from Central
America, Mexico, California, and the North
West Coast on the one side, and the Rus
sian dominions, japan, China, and the Phil
lippine Islands on the other. From their
relative position to the above countries and
Australia on the South, they have been
termed the Halfway House." on the

\ Letter from Gen. Rierce.

AKRON, July 20, 1894.
DEAR SIR Il see by the papers that you
have come out boldly for freedom, and, in
opposition to the infamous schemes of Doug
las, to enhance the price of his slaves by
extending the curse of slavery over the i'm
mense territories of this "model republic!
am truly gyatified to see the " old guard"
the democracy that fought the battles of the
party while the race of Nebrascals were in
swaddling clothes, vindicating the doctrines
of Jefferson in 1874 and 1887.
The miserable devils who now seek to rule
the party, and read us out, know about as
much about Jeffersonian democracy as they
do about the principles of liberty. That
miserable liar Gray, who edits the Plaindcal-
er, when he failed to be appointed postmas-
ter by Cave Johnson, came out an abolition
ist, abused the south and the administration
and slavery. Now, he has got the appoint
ment, and he is all for the south and slave
ry; and, in his abuse of all who are opposed
to slavery, reads me out of the party as no
democrat, when have voted nothing but a
straight democratic ticket for the last %
years, with no exception but Judge Bliss.
Because | will not go for Nebraska and
slavery, am no democrat! You will be
read out-DeWolf will be read out, and any
other democrat who dares to think and speak
as Jefferson did in 1857.
am happy TO see the real democracy uni
ting on this question. AS the slaveocracy
say the Missouri compromise is uncon-
stitutional, away with all compromises. Let
liberty be the watchword throught the land,
and the glorious principles of our declara-
tion of Independence be the principles of the
democratic party. No more compromises
with slavery but let the sold guard" move
on to victory under the banner of freedom.
No more slave territory, no more slave states,
no more doughfaCes in Office. q" Let us" in
the language of Jefferson, "swear eternal
hostility, upon the altar of our God, to any
form of tyranny" Yours,
ISAAC CoLEs, ESQ. L. V. BIERCE.

THE Rock ISLAND RAIL Roam BRIDGE.-
1t has been supposed by many that the work
on this structure has been suspended in ac-
cordance with the recent order of the gov
eminent official to that effect. This is not
the case. The grading on the island is being
rapidly completed, and the stone abutmens
and piers on the Illinois side of the river
are already finished. On the Iowa side the
abutment is very nearly completed, and
Golfer dams are now being placed in the
main river to begin on the piers. With
favorable weather and water these can b.
finished BY the lst of January next AS an
order from the war department cannot reach
the work in the river at all, some other
measures must be taken if it is stopped
We understand that it is the intention OF
the company to proceed with the contract
until arrested by actual intervention of law,
or the interposition of providential Difficult
ties Nothing short Of these will effect the
case Rock Island Advertiser.

ADVANCE IN RAILROAD FARE AND FREIGHT.
"A convention of Railroad Presidents was
holden in New York, last week, to take into
consideration a proposition to increase the
rates of fare and freight on the n. Y. & Erie,
N. Y. Central, Hudson River, Pennsylvania
Central and Baltimore & Ohio Railroads.
The result of the deliberations involves
general advance Of charges on freight and
passengers, and reduction of speed and
amount of service. Freight for the present
IS 70 be advanced about ten per cent, with
q further increase later in the season. An
immense saving to ali the roads is anticipa-
Ted from the discontinuance of the system
of runners and agents. The free pass sys-
tenn has been abridged, and the total abroga-
ion of the practice is recommended to the
executive officers of the respective compa-
MES. 4 uniform classification of freights
On the four great lines has been adopted, and
the charges equalized. Measures are to be
taken to obtain an adequate increase of COM
pensation for the mail service, it having
been found on examination that this service
Is performed twenty-five per cent. cheaper
han freight Of the lowest grade. The fare
IN the Erie and Central roads to Buffalo is
20 be advanced on the lstSeptember to eight
@cl,2ys, and in the winter to nine dollars.
The recent rise in prices and fall in the val
u5 Of railroad stock have rendered retrench-
nent necessary, and the convention proba-
bly, concluded these measures to be the least
Objectionable as well as the most compati-
Die with convenience and safety.

FoRT DEs MONIES lMPRovEMENT.--The
Warsaw Qllinois) Express states that the
difficulties attending the consummation OF
the Des Moines improvement have been re-
moved. The Hon. Alvah Hunt was sent
there as agent for certain eastern capitalists,
who, after examining the river, told the com
missioners that the work could not be under
taken, unless the use Of the improvement
was granted 10 the contractors for rs wears
The commissioners were 10th 10 come to
these terms, having already made contract
with Mr. ORiley for q much shorter period.
Mr.. Hunt was firm in his demands, and the
commissioners finally gave in, and a contract
has been entered into with responsible par
ties, for the completion of the entire work
the contractors to have the land and all the
proceeds of the improvement for IS years.
Congress has gEanted about one million of
acres of land for tie benefit Of this work.
The distance 10 be made navigabe is about
rs miles, being from the mouth of the riv-
.er, near Keokuck, to Fort Des Mones, in
the center of Iowa The works are TO b.
after the general plan OF those on the Mus
kingum. There arc 20 dams and locks. It
is heavy work. but the trade Of the river
must be immense; and, as it is in the midst
of one of the finest tracts of land III the
world, the water power which the dams will
afford will be of immense value, both for
Touring mills and manufacturing purposes
of all sorts, The people will be sure Of til
benefit of the work, and the company must
make money.-LO. s. Journal.

JAPAN AND THE Rum TRADE-A cores
pondent of the New York Tribune thinks
that extensive preparations will be made to
open the liquor trade in Japan, next year,
as no business in the world pays better, es-
pecially in new country. 1t is one, too,
that is easily and cheaply established, and,
if we may credit the published accounts of
the entertainments given on board our squad
ron to g the Commissioners and their at
tendants, the way IS pretty well opened for
the introduction Of champagne, rum-punCh,
and brandy-smashes into that country
Truly it seems that if fsomething be not done
in this matter, Japan may yet curse the day
that Commodore Perry's flag first appeared
in its waters. 1t is curious fact that the
first evidences which Pagan countries re-
ceiye of civilization and Christianity are
Missionaries and Whiskey barrels, and that
they often 60 in the same ships. The morals
Of trade are sadly below the Christian stand
ard, and the mischiefs which the latter in
fict by sending whiskey among people to
whom it is unknown, or with whom it is
unused, must be great obstacle to the efforts
to propagate the principles Of a pure relig-
ion among them. Rum, the curse Of the
world, seems to destroy the moral sense of
those who deal in it. and a nation will be
debauched that few dealers may revel IN
the profits Of such ill-gotten wealth. Pub

TIE DRoUTH.-We are receiving fearful
accounts of the drouth from almost every
section of the country The earth is liter
ally dried and burned up. 1t is estimated
that the wheat crop of the country will fall
so, 100000 bushels short of the usual mark,
and other crops are cut oil proportionatcIy.
1t is now fifty-four days since rain fell in
any quantity III the vicinity Of Rochester
and the drouth is equally severe in other
places; so that tits regarded as unpreceden-
ted III severity as we'll as in extent. 1t IS
some consolation to hear that Texas has
been blessed with rains and an abundant
harvest, and that California has grown so
much wheat that she will be able to export.
But with the prospect of potatoes at III or
more a bushel, and other things in keeping,
what are the poor to do ? If it would but
rain now, some evil might BE- averted. II.

THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

Will any of the democratic journals, which
insist that the presidents veto of the river
and harbor bill was on account of some un-
constitutional appropriations therein con-
tanned, point out those obnoxious appropri-
ations? The veto message affords us no
light on this subject; and the people would
like to know something about the matter.
Such vague and indefinite insinuations will
not satisfy those who have such important
interests at stake. Where does Mr. Pierce
locate the constitutional" line between le-
gitimate and illegitimate appropriations p

My DEAR SIR A statement of my views
upon the subject Of slavery generally, will
I think, answer satisfactorily both branches
your intewOgatory.
So far as the Slave States have rights under
the constitution and laws Of the Union, they
should in my opinion, be held inviolate. BIT
in the organization of Territorial Govern
ments, Gchether ont Of o1r present possession
or such as nc mag hereafter acquire, a pro-
vision ought, in my opinion, to be incorpor-
ated prohibiting Slavery.
Upon this subject we have an andOUbtcd
right to act. and also think that the Spirit
of Philanthropy, in addition to our interest,
requires epery good citizen to act IN ta0Or Of
