coming King bore little better repu-
tation for temperance and morality;
but az Lis admirer and champion,
Mark Twain, has already suggested, an ac-
cesson of regal dignity is likely to induce
Prince Bill to forswear strong drink and live
cleanly. At any rate, he is vOuched for as
the only true heir to the Hawaiian throne,
brimful Of spirit, pluck, and enterprise, and
a potent friend of America. Since the Sand
wich Islanders seem TO need King, we are
glad they are likely to have one who is
highly recommended, and seems no worse
than the usual run of Kings.
Vice-President Colfax has wisely taken the
advice of the Credit MObilier Committeeman
and has sent q lawyer to conduct his case.
1t does not seem business-like to ask an in
vestigaton at the hands of the Senate, con-
sidering that Mr.. Colfax is not member of
that body; and we very much question if
even the gravest aspect of the offense charged
against the Vice-President would warrant the
presentation of articles of impeachment by
the House of Representatives. 1t is not 20
much that Mr.. Colfax is charged with
malfeasance in Office that his character
now suffers 1t is because he is generally
believed to have sworn falsely. The evidence
of this dreadful crime is only circumstantial !;
the chain is complete by the production of his
bank account, which shows that he deposited
81, 200 within two days of the time at which
he was alleged to have received it from Oakes
Ames. He now says, by his counsel,
that he can prove that he received
the money from another source than
Ames. In view of what he said before, this
looks like lame afterthought. Still, all gener-
GUS, right-minded people will join with us in
the fervent wish that Mr.. Colfax will be able
thus to clear himself and to set himself right
before the country which now laments his
dreadful fall.

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN PROBLEM.

The Charter and the question of Rapid
Transit share the present attention of this
community. We are not sure that the ma
terial problem does not possess greater in
terest for the multitude than the political
question. Rapid Transit, is a necessity
which every day makes more apparent
and pressing. 1t is imperative and cannot be
longer put off. The public recognition of this
need and the rivalry of contendiDg railways,
promise some sort of answer to the demand
The contracts for large portion of the Gil
bert road are reported settled; and the con-
solidation of the railway interests pushing
that scheme is assured. The Board of Alder
men, emulous of information about Rapid
Transit, recently invited opinions of the vari-
ons schemes from prominent engineers of the
several public departments. The Legislature.

leins which we have TO work out in America is the
combination of domestic work with high culture"
She thinks that so long household work is thought

all their lives because Others will not work at

We beg Judge Poland to remember that Mr..
Oakes Ames acknowledges having deposited
$4,000 with the Sergeant-atArms in June,
1868, to pay the cash dividends on Credit Mo-
bjler stock which he held for Senators and
REPRESENTATIVES. The books of Mr.. 0rdway
will probably show in whose favor he drew
checks against this deposit, aud we strongly
advise the Committee to call for the books at
once. After the developments of the past few
days we cannot trust any mans protestatlon
that he has given back his stock and received
no dividends on it. Let us consult the books,

Committee No. 9, as the Wilson Investigating
Committee is usually called, got hold of con-
tumsciOus witness, yesterday. Mr.. j. B. Stew
art, as agent or attorney for the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, has disbursed some $25O,OOO
IN bonds Of the concern. He refused to tell
what he did with them, claiming that his duty
10 his clients forbade his revealing the dispo-
sitiOn made of their funds. The Committee
may not be able to make Mr.. Stewart tell what
he knows; but the refusal to disclose the par
tculars of so large and apparently business
like transaction appears conclusive as to its
real character.

The struggle TO shut up the Chicago rum-shops on
Sunday is still going on. The light is hard one.
but the authorities show intention of backing
out. On the contrary, the City Council has recently
determined upona still rigid enforcement of tho
law. The question seems TO be whether dealers in
particular article and that not necessary of life.
shall be allowed to go on with their trade upon
day on which all other trade, however harmless and
useful, is prohibited. Even those who favor rum
selling from Monday morning to Saturday night
ought TO be willing to have the traffic suspended on
a day consecrated to religious observances.

An instance of the crying injustice of the

the case OF Mr.. Niblack of Florida. Josiah T.

The views of the contending parties in the
coal contest are given on another page. Pres
ident Gowen, who is a type Of the IailyQad
autocrats and aspiring capitalists, boldly de-
tends his policy, while Mr.. Thomas, represent
ing the coal traders Of Philadelphia, alarmed
by the course of other corporations who
made as plausible professions as the Read
ing Company, warmly protests against
restrictions which he believes are impending.
He expresses forcbly the current distrust of
great corporations and the general unwilling
ness to give them unrestralned power. One
singular fact elected is that the great Reading
Coal Company, worth probably $30,000,000,
bought its charter for $500! Pennsylvania is
becoming celebrated for cheap, modified char
ters. The coal sale yesterday proved that fixed
advance in price has been attained for at least
next month. We trust that it will prove to
be based on natural causes, for it will not be
well for New-YOrk manufacturers and general
consumers if the great companies find they
can fix and maintain high prices at pleasure.
There is every reason to suppose that Prince
William G. Lunalilo, alias Prince BILL will
be the next King of the Sandwich Islands.
Dispatches from Honolulu show that his
appeal to the people was not in vain, and
that he has unanimous popular vote, as well
as the indorsement of the Ministry. The Legis-
lative Assembly have the final ratification of the
popular choice; and the chances are all in
favor of LuDalilo. This result is so much
better than any project for an American pro-
tectorate or annexation could be that the
Hawaiians are certainly TO be congratulated
thereon. We should be GLAD If the

THE NEW REFRACTING TEL.
ESCOPE.

A special dispatch to tie Pittsburgh
Commercial, dated Washington Sep
TENDER II, says:
The new telescope manufactured
by Alvin Clark g Sons, of Cam
bridgeport, Mass, for the Naval OBJ
servatory, has been successfully COM
pleted and is daily expected here
The instrument is the largest refrac-
ting telescope in the world, having
an object glass 274 inches in diane
ter, and 26 inch aperture, with a 70.
ems of thirty feet. 1t will be equa-
torially mounted according to Fraun-
hofer's plan, with details specially
designed for the instrument. It will
also be fitted up with a clock move
ment and auxiliary apparatus. It's
cost is $4,000. This telescope will
be paced in a new iron dome forty
one feet in diameter, and forty feet
in height, built expressly for it at the
end of the south wing of the obser-
vatory building. The super-struc.
ture rests on a foundation of stone
The roof Is supplied with slip read
lily opened for observations. 1t re-
wolves on conical wheels, and is cas-.
lily moved horizontally in either d.
rection by means OF suitable gearing.
Che instrument will rest on ptrs of
masonry imbeded seventeen feet in
the earth. The upper portion is of
brick, surmounted by Gaping con-
sisting Of a single stone eleven feet
long and two feet high and wide. On
the top Of this is an iron support
weighing 1,l00 pounds, to receive
the axis upon which the telescope
rests. Adjoining the dome are in
strument-rooms and sleeping apart
ments for observers. The new tele-
scope will enable the observer to see
many objects in space lot visible
through. the smaller one now in use.

CATTLE IN EUROPA paper was
recently read at Seebezirk, Swltzer-

SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE
COLOR OF HAIR.

Two sudden changes in the color
Of hair from black to white are re-
ported in a foreign medical maya
zine 1t appears that d physician Of
Berlin, strong, healthy, and less
than middle,a age man, sent his wife
and one daughter to spend the sum-
mer at watering-place. The day
that he expected a letter informing
him Of their arrival, there came one
saying that his daughter had been
taken sick very su Idenly, and was
already dead. The shock was ter
ribIe, and instantly his hair became
entirely gray. He had to visit some
patients that same afternoon, and
they scarcely recognized him. Their
peculiar actions revealed the change
to him. The other case was of a
man thirty-fye years old, living in
the Netherlands. He was one day
passing the canal in Rotterdam,
where he saw a child struggling in
the water. He plunged in and
brougn' it to land, but it was al
ready dead by the time he had res
cued the body. Bending over it to
try to restore life, he discovered that
the child was his own son. The
blow, SO sudden and unexpected, and
coming upon him when he himself
was so much exhausted, turned hi,
hair entirely gray, land left him scarce
ly recognizable.

USES OF RAWHIDF.

The skin Of an animal, whether
COW, calf, colt, or horse that dies on
the farm. is worth more at home than
at the tanners. Cut it into narrow
strips, and shave off the hair with
a sharp knife before the kitchen fire,
or in your workshop, on stormy days
and evenings. You may make them
soft by rubbing. A rawhide halter
trap an inch wide; will hold horse
better, and last longer than any inch
rope. It is stronger than hocp-iron
and more durable, and may be used
to hoop dry casks and boxes, and
for hinges. Try it on broken thill,
or and wood work that has been sdlit.
Put it on wet and nail it fast, Thin
skins make the best bag strings in
the world. A rawhide rope is a good
substitute for a chain. 1t is valuable
to mend broken link in atrace-chain
For some purposes it is best to nse
it in it's natural state. For other pur-
poses it may be dressed soft JOur-

George Grant the wealthy Eng
lishman, who took liking to our
Western plains, and has bought a
whole coun y on the line Of the Kan
sas Pacific Railroad in Kansas, is
now at work getting English families
TO come over and occupy il. The .oca-
ton is beyond all other presene set
Elements, and seems lonesome and
barren enough specifically; and we
doubt if the ordinary Englishman
takes to the country very kindly.
Mr. Grant is, however, enthusiastic
in his scheme, and offers easy terms
of sale, while he is also importing
fine breeds of English cattle, and pro-
viding preliminary accommodations
on the ground for early settl rs.
