ACCIDENT ON THE WHARF. Last Friday, two
native laborers employed in wheeling coal from the
ship .Madura, were badly injured-one of them
quite seriously-by a basketball of Goals being
dumped from the ships yard right onto them. 1t
seems that the position of the yard was shifted by
those on board without giving warning to the men
at work on the wharf. If this was so, it was a piece
of culpable carelessness.

made an address to the King in these words:
My Government has sent me to these Islands to

vessels from Tahiti, FIJI and Samoa have taken men
from these Islands, and sold them for slaves, (Kau-

not approved, but disliked by my Government.
Therefore, take care of your people. Do not con-

The MYSTERIOUS DOC OF WAINANALo.-Last Sat
urday the people on Mr.. John Cummins' Ranch at
Koolau received a first class sensation in the shape
of a waif from the sea. While the men were en-
gagged in fishing at the edge of the reef, they OBJ
served, far out to seward, a dark object moving
landward over the waves, which looked like a mans
head. By and bye as it drew nearer, the object was
seen to be u large dog. Choosing a good landing
place aside from the breakers, the animal came
ashore on a sand-beach, and after giving himself a
good shake, sat down and looked inquiringly about.
He was a nearly full-grown Newfoundland The
natives soon made friends with the stranger, and
subsequently took him to Mr.. Cummius, who has
him now at his place. The question is, where did
this waif of ocean come from? He was first seen far
ont to seward, apparently coming from the track
less ocean wilds. No vessel is known to have re-
Gently passed within many miles of where he was
seen. How long Can such a dog live in the sea with
out fresh water? Perhaps some gallant ship has
gone suddenly down at sea, carrying with her all
her wealth Of human life and leaving none but this
dumb witness, who cannot tell the tale. Did he
come from the Queen Emma? Perhaps,-but con-
lecture is fruitless and we may never know the
mystery of the dog of WaimanalO.

Then and Now.

Remember that the Democracy in
1868, in their national platform, resolv-
ed that "the constitutional acts and the
amendments they embrace were usurpa-
tions, unconstitutional, revolutionary
and void" If that was true then, is is
any less so now? If so, why? If the
Democracy believed it to be true then,
do they believe otherwise now? If so,
why? The Baltimore Sun admits the
truth of the position taken in 1868, but
thinks it expedient now to accept the
action of the Democratic Convention of
1872, with the necessary mental reserva-
ton. In this it is following the lead of
the Greeley Democratic organs through
out the country.

The New York Herald throws cold
water on the cold water philosopher by
saying that
"The people who are interested in the
welfare and prosperity of the nation are
evidently beginning to ask themselves
what they will profit by a revolution in
the Administration at the present time,
and to take into serious consideration
the question whether they can afford
to change General Grant for Horace
Greeley"
That is precisely what the people are
asking themselves. To change from
Grant to Greeley would be worse folly
than it would have been to have put
Geo. Francis Train in Grants place at
Vicksburg.

How the South Undertands Il
yours in travail,
"A Justis Nv the peese. ~

The Norfolk Virginian, a paper
which carries the Greeley ticket at
the head Of its columns, declares
that the South will never be pacified
until the nation fully indemnifies
her for all she has suffered and lost.
1t demands
"Ample compensation to the
slave owner for the loss of his prop
erty by the act of the emancipation
of his negroes, or its repeal at the
option of the master, and the res
tOratiOn of the slave to his former
state of bondage, slavery, servitude
and dependence from which he was
liberated. The Southern States
should also be fully compensated
for the expense they incurred in de-
Tending themselves in an aggressive
war of invasion on the part CT the
free States. That is to say, the
debts of the confederation should be
assumedand paid by the general Gov
ernment by tax levied, not on con-
sumers by tariff, but by an assess
ment on ali the real and personal
property in the United States. This
would be compromise and concess-
ion on the part of the South, and if
the present national debt (about two
thousand millions,) be wiped out or
repudiated, or put excl usively Oh
the shoulders of the North, where
it should and will ultimately be
made to rest, the new assumed debt
of the general government would be
less than the war debt now is, and
the tax laid for its payment entirely
uniform and just. Disguise it as
you will, to this form things will
come at last"

They will Not Do 1t.

Horace Greeley has a thousand
times said that the Republican party
saved the Union, blotted out the
accursed institution of slavery, pre-
served the national credit, prevented
repudiation of the public debt, and
has always been the promoter oil
wise and beneficent measures and
he has as often asserted that the
Democratic party uniformly opposed
these measures and struggled to
bring disaster and utter ruin upon
the nation. He and his supporters
now ask the people to repIdiate the
party ofprogress and reform in favor
of the party that has been criminal
ly wrong for quarter of a century.
"They will not do it."

Land Grants to RajlrOads-Mr
Wilson Against Them.

Mr.. Neal's great "forte'' in the
campaign thus far, is the "corrup-
ton" of the Administration, and
chiefly the voting of lands to Rail-
roads.
Does the gentleman not know
that this is not a party question ?
that as many Democrats as Repub-
licans vote for these appropriations?
His opposing candidate, Mr.. Wilson,
has voted against every appropria-
tiOn of the kiEd since he has been
in Congress, and had a majority of
the Democrats been against the
grants they could never have been
made.
Stephen A. Douglass carried
through Congress the first of these
appropriations in favor of the Illinois
Central r. R., and there are many
men in both parties who think that
such measures are advantageous to
the country. Be candid, as well as
pure, Mr.. N.

The Democratic ProdigaI.

Senator Hamlin, in a speech at
Bangor, Me-, made this good hit:
We are told that we should be
bound by the sound and Christian
maxims drawn from Holy Writ,
and so We should. We are told
that we should follow the parable of
the prOdigal son, who went away
from his home and became in time
as poor and degraded as the Demo-
cratic party is to-day. AppIause.
The father received that son, but to
that reception the boy brought an
honest repentance. And when
these Democrats, the Democrats of
the South, will come to US, as the
prodigal son did come, asking for
giveness and making full confession
of the sins they have committed,
then we will adopt the maxim of
the prodigal son. But they ask US
more than forgiveness. We read
that the father did forgive his prod
igal son, but we nowhere read that
he put that son at the head of his
farm aohen he did come hOms. TAP

A friend furnishes the Toledo Com

been received from the sage of Chappa-

"Local self government" is the essence
of all that is dear to the Mongrel party,
and here is how they practise it at Yazoo
City, Mississippi: The Council of that
place has passed an ordinance levying
a poll tax. of ten dollars on each individ-
ual. One-half of the colored citizens are
not able to pay this tax, and in conse-
quence will not be allowed to vote. Thus
it is sought to make the property quail
fcation the test of citizenship, in order
that Democratic ascendancy may be
gained in Mississippi.

An Old Lie Revived and Con-
clusively Answered.

Growing desperate as they see that the
people are determined to re-elect the
hero of Vicksburg and Appomattox, the
Democratic leaders of the baser sort
have recently revived the old lie about
Gen. Grant being drunk at the battle of
Pittsburg Landing. This has recently
come to the ears of s. D. Webster, Gen.
Sherman's Chief of Staff, who was with
Grant all Of the first day, and who lay
down with him on pile of hay late at
night, and he says that Gen. Grant
drank nothing during that terrible day,
and that he was perfectly collected ard
self possessed throughout. How like
chaff all these charges are blown away
by the breath of truth!

The Democracy of Georgia are playing
sharp game. Having succeeded in en-
grating on the State Constitution pro-
vision that no citizen should vote unless
his taxes were paid up, the Democratic
Legislature passed an act applying it to
poll taxes as well as real estate, with a
view to cutting off large proportion of
the colored voters. 1t is a matter that
the National Executive Committee ought
to look after at once.

A "LittIe Story" with q
Moral.

The conduct ofthe "Liberal Reps
reminds us of the following story:
When the flood had proved to bt
considerable of shower" and the
water stood about neck deep to a
man, an old fellow climbed up the
sides of the Ark one day and called
for Noah, when the following dia-
logue took place
Sinner-Please, Sir, I want to be
Cook on this ship.
Noah-All right, step down into
the kitchen.
Sinner-Can't you make me Boat
swain, too?
Noah-Well, I reckon so, as we're
short of help.
Sinner-I think I ought to be
Purser of this company, as I hauled
gopher wood here two days for you,
and daubed pitch for half an hour
one evening.
Noah-Here, Shem, show this
gentleman the way to the money
chest, give him the key to the PAN
try and clothes-room, and tell him
where the chicken coop is.
Sinner-I have a good deal of infiu.
ence among my constituents down
there in the water, and if you will
only give me the position of First
Mate 1 can get ever so many of
them to come up and not be drown
ed.
Noah-I guess better do it.
Sinner-Now, then, you've got to
make me Captain of this here float,
or I'll leave her
Noah-Really, my friend, that's
a teette too steep. You're welcome
to stay with us and be Cook, Boat
swain, Purser and First Mate, but
L can't let you run the whole con-
Germ.
Sinner-Well, you've got a mis-
cradle, warped, rotten, worm-eaten,
ungodly old hulk, and you may just
go to thunder for all care!
And the venerable Antediluvian
scrambled over the side of the Ark,
leaving poor Noah to his fate T.,
