Here is what the Weston Democrat
saws of the letter from John Forsythe
giving his experience with the meteors
on Terror Pinnacle, and which he sent
to THE REGISTER, in the columns Of
which it first appeared:
THE WEBSTER COUNTY 'TRAGEDT.'
Since our assertion of last week, that
the Fursythe yarn was concocted IN this
place. we have asscrtained that we were
correct in our supposition. 1t was con-
ceived and written "for the fun of the
thing by scientific gentleman who
resides here. Ho had nothing
particular to do; and being bless
ed with versatile mind and
a thorough knowledge of astronomy, he
delivered himself of II production which,
although the incidents are without foun-
dation, is very creditable to his ability as
writer and scientist. The article has
already started on its travels in the pa
pcrs of this and other States; and before
it becomes old, will cause as great SEN
sation in Europe as it will on this CONT

and reception of King kALAKAuA. lie

His Majesty is the son of native OF
Barnstablc, Massachusetts.
The story is that his father, who, 1t
appcars. was rs worthy Yankee is can
br found. started out on a whaling eX-
nod,tion from New Bedford in 1923.
The ship foundered at sea, and all were
lost except himself and three Others, who
reached the Sandwich Islands. He Is
representcd as having been II handsome,
stalwart man, who so captivated the
Princess, the only daughter of the King
of the Islands, that he gave him the al
tentative, either to marry the girl or have
his head cut off. Wisely he choose the
former. and this, our visitor, Is the result
1t is further stated that the father
made his escape after many years, and
returned to the land of his nativity; but
the place was so changed, he pinned for
his dusky bride and children, and in
efforts to return to them, was drowned.
The King, thus made an orphan, now
sicnifed his intention 10 speedily visit
Rornstablc and seek out his relations. In
fact he will do so under particular IN
functions from his royal mother. Since
now it appears that Republican America

THE PACIFIC MAIL INVESTIGA-
TI0N

The investigation of the affairs al tins
company,which has been brought about by
d,sscnsions among its officials, and It's bad
condition gcnerally,iS now going on before
the Congressional Committee of Ways
and Means.
We regret to see in it unmiStakabIe
symptoms of another, to be added to the
series of Congressional corruptionS, which,
during the past few years, have disgraccd
the country.
As vet, no positive proof that bribery,
or more politely speaking, fees, have
been received by any Of our Legislators,
but all the circumstances connected with
the matter so far, have an omnous APP
pcarancc. In the first place, there Is no
doubt hut that $3.50, 900 WAS placed i'll tn"
hands of RICHARD b. IRWIN, the Com
panv's agent, who WAS very active in his
efforts To procure a Government subsi-
dy In these efforts the $4,000 dis
appeared. but the subsidy was obtain
cd Now these facts, together with
the subsequent acknowledgment by
IRWIN, that he had spent all the money
given him in the employment of certain
persons. whom he refuses 10 mention,
but whose aid he required in this matter
of subsidy admits of no reasonable doubt,
but that the money was spent in Wash
ington, and that some one Of influence re-
ccivcd the benefit of large portion of it.
The second suspicious circumstance OF
this business is lRwINs manifest desire
to keep away from Washington, and not
to testify before the committee. So great
was this on his part, that he made use of
every pretext, sickness, nervous prostra-
ton, inability to travel, and everything
he could think of, to delay the matter,
until, finally, to secure his appearance,
ana prevent MS hS ""E
arrested for contempt, and thus held.
The third circumstance is, that after he
was forced to testify, he refused positively
t. give the names of those whom he had
employed. Nothing has SO far been
made ont of him further than he spent
the money, and did employ assistance;
but who was the recipient of his fund.
or what was the assistance rendered,
he fatty refuses to disclose. The only
concession he makes, is that he did not
employ any one connected with the
lower House.
Now if there is nothing wrong in all
this, why is there so much mystery about
it. There is certainly something wrong,
and something which is eagerly desired
to be kept hidden, and it looks very
much as if in some way or other this I'M
derhand work WAS connected with Con-
gress. The investigating committee are
evidently far from satisfied, and if they
work honestly, the mystery will yet be
solved.
But whether the result proves further
dishonor to be attached to one or more
members of Congress or not, it is very
humiliating that suspicion can so
easily and readily be attached to
them. There was time when
such schemes as these would
