OSwARD.-This is = good motto. 1t is the
rule at Reddick & Gillen's. They present an
unbroken front. Their great reduction IN prices
lately made. has attracted an unusual amount of
business, and every day their store is filed with
people-old and xew customers. Every line

3d. Low and uniform prices. They also take
especial care to select only such goods as their
customers want, and no cheap or shoddy goods

STATE FAIR.-In consequence Of the fact that
Ottawa has the best chance to secure the loca-
ton Of the State Fair for the next two years, our
citizens have gone to work in ca arnest. While
our prospect is good, the people must work, and
the entire prospect has been narrowed down to
this point, viz: Can We raise $4,000 or $15.-
600 or not?
We oal hAve the fair il We raise the money
necessary to the proper enlargement of the
ground, erection of the buildings, &c.
A meeting was held last Saturday and COM
mittses appointed to work, and another meeting
will be held to-day to receive reports of the
workers. ....

into the streets from their beds. Three
distinct motions were felt, shaking hori-

shock lasted about. twenty seconds-the
whole fully minute. At Iahiaht much
damage was done to buildings, but the
seminary buildings suffered most, the
walls being shaken to pieces, though they
did not fall. At Aakees, the cattle train
was badly injured. Other localities did
not suffer much.
At A[allakai nearly all the stone walls
were levelled, and the frame of a building
was thrown down, and the road to the
Leper Asylum was destroyed. At Lanaia
the shock was severe. Clefls opened in
different parts of the Island, and the vul-

The Senate and the Executive.

From the New York Post.
Every popular government is made ur
Of several different branches, each ol
which is responsible for its own work, and
q check upon the power OF the others.
The problem which craftsmanship has Ia
solve in constituting such u government is
to give these checks their full value,
without destroying or imparing response
bility; to make each branch distinctly su.
preme within its proper limits, yet inca.
pable Of enCrOaching upon the rest.
This problem has never been better
solved than in the Constitution Of our fed.
eral government. The President Is prop.
erly made independent Of all other au.
th0rity, us the direct representative Of the
whole nation, for the general manage.
ment of our foreign relations; and every
appointment and every treaty comes from
him us its responsible source. But the
Senate, II body Of statesmen representing
the States, and holding their places indie.
pendently OF the President, and for a
longer time, are made his COunSellOrs, and
every act which gives character to our
national policy requires their sanction be.
lore It becomes complete.
The two divisions Of the executive
power are clearly defined; the complete.
ness and independence of each are essen.
tial to the system. The Senate cannot
appoint an ambassador or make treaty ;
but 1t can prevent an unworthy appoint
ment or defeat an improper treaty. The
President alone cannot adopt any mea.
sure which his own prejudiccs or his pri.
vate and irresponsible advisers may force
upon him; but must, in each case, satisfy
the highest and most independent delibef.
ative body in the country that the measure
Is not personal but national.
This is the theory Of our government.
But when the President is not content
with the large power and discretion vest.
cd in his office, but undertakes TO do the
work both OF himself and OF the Senate,
he overturns this theory. The Senate's
work is done in It's own way, upon a sys.
tenn which has gradually grown out Of
the needs Of the work itself, and Is now
regarded as permanent. The great ma
jOrity Of It's members hold over from ses.
sion 70 OSesslon, when the administration is
changed, and often maintain their old or.
ganization and their old committees,
when every office that depends on the
Executive Is filed by new man.
