Speaking of the criticisms of an Abing-

the travelling agent of The Enquirer, and
the comments of the Lynchburg Retu5li
can thereon, our city contemporary indi
Gates that it will in no case submit to "ut-
terly false and reckless assertions " of any
kind as affecting The Enquirer and con-
clndes its warning as follows
And journals which publish such gratuiious
ISLANDERS and accusations need not be surprised to
see their violation of the plainest rules of right
and justice characterized<n plain, uninistakable
Saxon.
We are glad to hear this; for it is, in eff
feet, what we proposed to do several days
ago. And when we commence with
''plain, unmistakable Saxon" we intend
to stick to it till the scrimmage IS through

The Dispatch has twice stated within the last
two weeks that it would go for the most protec-
tive of protective tariffs If 1t could thus get rid
OF the internal revenue system, with its spies,
informers, and prosecutions 10 be tried before
Judges such as Underwood, &C Why, then, does
The STATE Journal ask such questions concern
Dispatch.
For the simple reason that you are a
free-trader in principle, and only go for
conditional tariff as a matter of temporary
policy. The principle is what we are after,
with its permanent application to the indus
tries of Virginia. The Dispatch need not
llatter itself that we do not read
its columns. We were aware of its true
betwixt-and- between, !" position on this
subject. Its argument to demonstrate
where it stands on the tariff question, is a
good deal like that of the hair-splitting To-
gician on the bank of river:
That side of the river is one side OF
the river; ~
This side of the river is the other side Of
the river;
Ergo, we are on the other side of the
river;
Or, (dilemnsatic coroHay) we are on
both sides of the river. F"
The fact is, the cry of free trade is q
sham-used for entrapping the unwary and
infusing life into defunct political party
and The Dispatch has the good sense tc
see it. And, hence, it kicks against The
Worlds demand for party based upon
this principle, or rather want of principle,
as distinctive issue upon which to 60 be.
fore the people. And hence, also, it "rises
to EXPLAIN" and adroitly puts itself OIL
both sides of the river. after the fashion o
our hair-splitting logician.
| But how about the position Of The Dis
patch's party on the question?

We have heretofore alluded to the de-
crease in the native population of the
Sandwich Islands. We give below the
exact figures gathered from recent off,
cial census taken of the islanders, which
would indicate an earlier disappearance
Of that branch of the human family than
any previous statement yet published. Tie
percentage of decrease since 1850 has
been as follows:
1850 to 1888 10 per cent
Isoo W looV-1 years. .............47 20 per cent.
1850 10 1906 years ""..........9 81 per cent
1000 W ie'2-6 so per cent
In forty years the population has been
reduced nearly eighty-one thousand.
When it is remembered that there is no
noticeable abatement to this desolating
mortality, is it not time the question
should be asked, into whose possession are
these beautiful islands to pass within the
next half century? For, at the end of
that time, there will not be natives enough
to run respectable church prayer-meet-
ing. They will have been civilized an d
Christianized to death.
