The Necessity for Vigilance.

as soon as the returns" are all III.
1t Is we'll to be cautious. While
there are doubtless good men III
the field, it is nevertheless true
that others may be acting in the
employ of those whose interests
would 6e damaged by the adoption
of IL constitution based OH economy
IN public expenditures, or the
adjustment of certain rings and
monopolle-. 1t would be idle to
suppose that such institutions are
not working to perpetuate their
existence through the medium OF
our new constitution. Therefore,
We say, ''be vigilant," and cast your
vote for no man who is known to
be member of or friendly to any
corporation or com pany which the
bonor and welfare of the State de.
mands should be abolished.

1t Is difficult to say what consti-
tutes the beauty Of a woman. The
Sandwich Islanders estimate wO-
men by their height. The Chinese
require them to have deformed
feet and black teeth. A girl must
be tatooed sky-blue and wear q

islanders taste. African princes
require their brides to have their
teeth fled like those of saw. And
thus goes the world, the criterion
