Whipple, late editor of the jack
son Pilot, Radical, in his valedicto-

his withdrawal from that dirty sheet
that he is sick. We should think il

to say nothing of the late defeat the
Radical party has sustained. SIC

We hope that our new Board OF
Supervisors, when they enter upon
their duties and have to pass upon
the bonds of our county officials,
will see TO it that these WORTHLESS

member, too, that when a party
signs his name to an official bond
for five or ton thousand dollars, his
estate is encumbered that much.

baW-Making in Hawaii.

In Hawaii the Legislature, composed
of, House of Mobiles and House of
Representatives, makes the laws, but if
their Acts are. not approved by the
King, they have no effect. The mobiles
are made by the King, and the reprrsen
tatives arc elected by the people. In
order to be voter, one must have
certain income and be Of good standing
In the community; aud where women
possess these requirements, they have
!the. privilege Of voting. Cut of the
eleven representatives, five are women
!, Any man who drinks or swears cannot
sit on q jury. There arc no bcggars,
every man and woman who is able being
compelled to work, aud the Govern
ment gives employment to those who
have none. The two prcdominating
reli gions are the Catholic aud Congrcga
tional. 1t is customary for young wo
men to "pop the question" to young
men. Crimes involving social virtue
and purity are punished by heavy fines,
and Sabbath breaking aud swearing by
small fines. If womans husband
abscnts himself from her four ye .rs she
can marry again, and the code of laws
has this provision 1.-two married per
