However good and intelligent men
may differ upon the liquor question as i,
presents itself in New England, there does
not seem much room for such difference in
the case Of the Sandwich Islands. In
eighteen years of free rum, the native
(Kanaka) population fell of $4,000; Is
years more, at the same death.rate, wouldn't
leave enough of them to properly officer the
census bureau. Yet some of the Weather
sugar planters are making concerted at.
tempt to get the present stringent law
against rum-distilliDg repealed. For the
credit of the profession we are glad to be
able to record the fact that the Honolulu
journalists are making brave stand against
these constituencies money-grabbers.

thence the hack to this place to attend
the annual convention of the District
Christian Missionary Society, composed
of the counties of Andrew, Nodaway,
Holt and Atchison. A goodly number
of delegates were present from each
county, and the convention had organ
lied by appointing NJ. G.. Roscberry
President, and John r. Snuff Secretary.
Elder j. j. Fret, State Evangelist,
was present, and also Elder Mcclure,
of Kansas. besides a number of preach
ing brethren of our own district. Two
days anda half were spent in discussing
matters pertaining to the missionary
work in this District. The reports from
the churches We're not rs fiattering rs we
could wish, but all felt as though the
missionary work ought to be kept alive
in this district. Elder w. r. Trapp
was chosen District Evangelist for the
ensuing year, and all seemed resolved
to make the ensuing year u success in
the missionary work. The meeting al
journed to meet in annual meeting at the
stone church, near Fillmore, on the
Tuesday after the third Lords day in
August, 1874.

PAY AS You PROMISE.

The St. Louis Dispatch has the follow
ing eminently sensible paragraph: "The
federal government holds $4,000 in
Missouri State bonds in trust for the In
dians, for which the treasury officials re-
fuse to receive anything but gold in pay
ment of interest coupons. The bonds
have gold printed plainly upon their
face-they were sold for gold bonds and
for a long time the interest coupons were
paid in gold, but the Legislature of 1870
quarreled with the Governor concerning
them, and permanently instructed the
State Treasurer to pay them in currency.
As a consequence the credit of the State
has suffered materially, to the detriment
of all classes of securities which she has
offered for sale, and to her own direct
~loss,as it would be easy enough to show.
We are glad that the United States has
the power to enforce its claim. When a
State is able and refuses to discharge her
obligations in accordance with her
promises, there ought to be some power
to force her to do it."

The area OF the state of Missouri is
e. $3.50 square miles, equal to 43,123,2oo
acres of land; being nearly n third
larger than England, and possessing
double the productive capacity of that
boastful country. Nearly every rod of
the land is arabic and well adapted to
furnish all the products of the temperate
cline. Prospectively there is no other
State in the Union which affords such
inviting attractions and inducements TO
capitalists, or laborers in the field, the
mines, the vineyards and the manufac-
tory. The Missouri of to-day is grand,
glorious and hopeful; the Missouri of a
.quarter of a century hence will far ex-
coed the bright vision of the most a n
guine citizen.

Our friend Robinson, OF the Maryyille

humor with us. In yesterdays issue of
the above-named paper it accused the
ANDREW COUNTY REPUBLICAN, with
falsehood in stating that fifty thousand
head of cattle had died in Nodaway coun-
ty from Texas fever. The statement oc-
Cured in our News Items" which are
carefully culled from telegraphic dis
patches, and we can say in all candor
we wish the Maryville Republican edit
or and Nodaway county no i'll will in the
world. aud had no ''mean" purpose in
publishing ths item referred to-. But
the editor says, referring to us:
"Nothing can be too mean or I'M
truthful to be published in a paper that
will allow through its columns q mean,
low flung. lying attack upon q eotempO-
rary who has always treated it with res
pect. and never given the least provoca-
tion."
This Is the first time we have been ac-
eused Of lying! We suppose that U

level With other journals in this respect

The Picnic at Salem.

EDITOR MISUNDERSTANDING to
previous arrangements. the Salem Sun
day-school picnic was a perfect success.
Although the weather was extremel.
warm, the people from the country and
city seemed to enjoy themselves very
pleasantly. At the appointed hour every
Sunday-school was on time. To give n
synopsis of the proceedings of the day
would be too much for the space allo wed
in your paper; but l will be brief AS
possible. At half-past nine the old En-
celsior Cherry Grove S~unday-sch DOL
made its appearance upon the ground.
about four hundred in procession.
This Sunday-school was headed by JAS.
Burns, superintendent, and w. L. Daily,
assistant, both young men of superior
talent. The procession was headed by
the banner wagon, loaded with twenty
five young gentlemen and ladies; all
the sons and daughters of Cherry Grove,
which seemed to be the grand feature
of the day. Next came the Long Branch
procession, and was headed by +. Mil
Ter, Superintendent. This procession
was well arranged and conducted, and
an honor to any vicinity.
Salem Sunday-school was upon the
ground in due time to receive its hosts,
which was done in a very excellent
manner. After the various schools
were seated the exercises of the day
were mentioned by Jesse Wright, which
were as follows: Music by the various
schools in concert. led by Mr.. Sargent of
your city. BY the way, Mr.. Sargent is
an excellent vocalist, and his services
were highly appreciated by the many
that were present. Next, Mr.. Paxton,
of St. Louis. delivered an address in be-
half of the Sunday-school cause. which
was able and interesting to the old as
well as to the young. The next exer-
else was music; then came the most inn
portant feature of the day-dinner.
Every person seemed to enjoy it finely.
Basket after basket was cmptied upon a
well spread table for the good people to
help themselves. After an hour or two
intermission the audience was assembled
by music; then Mr.. Paxton continued
the exercises by an address which was
highly esteemed. Elder Tate, Of your

OTHER States have a way of stopping
the proceedings OF outlaws who attempt
to thwart the r of justice, which is
in painful contrast with the late Gala
way county disgrace. A dispatch dated
Thursday last says:
The authorities of Charleston, Ind,
last night received positive information
that the vigilance committee of Clark
county make an armed attempt to take
Reynolds, committed for deadly assault,
Thursday night. out of jail, and hang
him at 2 O'Clock this forenoon. Guards
vert doubled and Judge Durham, of
the criminal court, telegraphed to Gov.
Hendricks for aid, and the Sheriff was
ordered to summon a posse of citizens in
case of an assault. So complete were
the preparation that no raid was made.

SINCE the year 1S4S, when there were
but about 5000 miles of complete rail-
road in the country, the railroad system
of the United States had increased, on
January 1, 1873, to 1900 miles in actu-
al operation, with 5000 more in process
of construction. The railroad statistics
show that in 1858 there were "a 900
miles of roads built. in 1869 A. 5000 miles.
and since the war the half of the whole
has been constructed and put in opera
ton. The average railroad growth for
the last five years has been nearly g.
600 miles annually. At a rate of S40,-
600 per mile, the cost of the completed
roads would be perhaps $1,000. OOO.-
600, while those in progress and not
yet completed will cost $500, OOO, 600.
