the United States of Colombia. 1t is well known
hat the latter country has been subject tofre-
quent outbreaks, revolutions and petty pronun-
ciamentos of almost annual occurrence. The
United States is obliged to keep ship of war
constantly stationed at the isthmus for pro-
lection to American passengers and merchan-
disc across the Panama railroad. Indeed, it
has been necessary within a very few years to
land an armed force to control the line of rail-
road from the marauding parties under their
necessitate, as one of the first requisites before
work is commenced on the canal, treaty de-
claring it public highway to all nations
for commercial purposes under all circum-
stances. If ever the canal is completed, il
must be through the agency of the combined
capital of England, France and America.
American interests are more concerned in this
work than any other nation, and therefore the
United States will be apt to guard those inter-
ests with due caution in the first instance.
The South American republics will reap a
large direct advantage from the construction
of the canal, and yet they are not in condition
to contribute very largely to the funds neces-
sary for its completion, and therefore those
nations whose people will contribute to this
great work will take good care that the most
ample guarantees shall be first given, that
there shall be no possibility of interruption
in the use of the international thoroughfare.
1t is fair to presume that this work will be
commenced at no distant day and completed
within comparatively short time, and with
this great work completed together with the
Pacific telegraph, what may not the future of
these Islands be2 We rejoice therefore at the
prospect of the completion of both these pro-
jects in the near future as being very bright,
and also to contemplate the great advantages
which Hawaii nei must gain by the compile
ton of both enterprises, which in their very
nature must be of transcendent Importance
to the future welfare and commercial pros
perity of this little Island kingdom.

WFDNESDAY, JUNE 25. 1879.

WE had the pleaaure of visit from the
Hon. J. NJ Morton, United States Consul for
the Hawaiian Islands, who, with his wife and
children, arrived on board the P. NJ S. S. City
of New York, on the 18th inst We cordially
welcome Mr. Morton and family to these Is
lands and trust they will find their residence
here as pleasant as they could desire. 1t was
our good fortune, in days gone by, to have
known the late Oliver P. Morton, one of the
ablest statesmen of his day, and Senator from
Indiana, father of our present Consul, and we
will add, that if the son is like the sire, he
will be credit TO his country and an acqui-
sition to the society of Honolulu.
Col. JAMES G. FAIR, of Nevada, is now
with us on tour of pleasure, and inspection
of the Islands. This gentleman has a world
wide reputation as one Of the owners and the
active manager for many years, Of the great
Bonanza mines, and is the reputed owner of
large wealth. He is large-hearted, whole
souled gentleman, upon whom the possession
of colossal wealth has made no other impress
sion than to develope his natural good genial
qualities. He is as modest and unassuming as
if he were in the most humble circumstances !;
fact which argues in favor of his good ma
tive sense and real worth. Place, power,
wealth and little brief authority, cause small
minds to arrogate to their possessors some
thing of consequence, but to the man of real
worth, gifted with good common sense, some
times aptly called mother wit, these ADVENT
tious circumstances make not the slightest
impression, and the latter always secures the
esteem and respect of those who enjoy his &C
quaintance, whilst the weaker man, who seeks
notoriety and expects to have homage paid
him because he happens to have wealth or
place, is an object of contempt and ridicule.
Col. Fair and party left on board the Like
like, last evening in company with His Excel
lency, S. G. Wilder, Minister of the Interior,
en- route for the Windward Islands, to see the
sights and admire the beauties of nature as
we have them on Hawaii nei.

BALTIMORE, Feb. II, 1879.
st. Valentines Day is fast approach
ing when postmen will be laden with
the missives of love and satire; when
the envelopes received will be opened
with misgivings and hesitation; when
the feelings Of many viii be wounded

will bound at the declarations receiv-
ed, the only difficulty being to find
out whether the sentiment is really
meant or in sport The windows of

day. Merchants whose stocks of
Christmas goods exceeded the de-
mands of customers have stored them
away for next season, and in their
stead display an immense assortment
of fancy and comic valentines. In
glancing at the stocks in various por-
lions of tho city the observer is
struck with their almost endless va
riety and their lack of novelty. The
favorite style of last year, known as
the "cameo valentine is prominently
reproduced this year and is only va
ried in small points of detail. The
most noticeable novelty this year is a
new departure in the comic line. 1t
is quite unique and is a picture Of a
cake of soap, or tooth bru h, sugges-
ting to the recipient the propriety of
more frequent use Of these necessary
toilet articles. The dealers say they
are intended Ito cater to the tastes OF
those sendels who desire to point out
fault or perpetrate oke instead OF
inhicting an insult" The following
neat stanza appears on representa-
ton of tooth brush
I'D breach the subject gently,
With dclcacy and care,
I'd speak but interentially-
Though your failing isn't rare
| would not be offensive,
But emphatically advise
This article inexpensive

There has ben quite number of
suicides latel y among the poorer class,
and nearly all were fro IN trouble oo-
casioned by monetary concerns. A
very sad clse was that Of an old man
nearly ninety who was an inmate of
"The Old Mems Home, an institution
for poor old people who have not only
no means of support, but no one to
take care of them. 1t is supposed
the old man ended his life while tenn
porarily insane.
Mr.. Moody is still holding meetings
in the city and the interest displayed
has been unprecedented here. In
churches of all denominations nightly
meetings are held and many huad-
reds have professed conversion. The
religious interest was never so great
in Baltimore as at present, and all is
owing to the Influence Of that good,
powerful and wonderful preacher, D..

Rev. R. F. BISHOP presumes we will
make room for a further remark
upon his theory of Frostburg deca-
dence and exhausted coal measures.
In fair play We could not do ether
wise, albeit we regret he has used his
title to space to SO little purpose. In
what particular he has met the issue
we are unable to see. His letter is
rather medley of dicta and "splenet-
les than bold, tangible assault upon
cur position and statistics. 1t starts
with the proposition:
A news letter is supposed to be a state
ment of facts
Whereas news letter IS statement
of facts. The element Of supposition,
in any way involved, is fatal to It fact.
Hence, if Ir. Bishop conc3des his let
ter to the Methodist Record, so far as
it concerns Flostburg, as supposed
statement of facts he allows about
all We claimed last week.
Mr.. Bishop appears to have adopt
ed the syllogism that
l, The law of decay is stronger than
recuperation;
2, Supposed" coal exhaustion is
the law;
3, Frostburg must decay.
This statement is fortified by mis-
quotation from Lord Macaulay, as
will lie seen by the parallel:
Lord Nacaulay Lord Nacaulay

larly those who believe there is yet

AN EPIDEMIC OF REsIGNAT1oNs.-
During the last and present month
quite number of designations among
the School Trustees have been report
ed. Precisely what the causes are
hes not been stated, except in the
case of Mr.. Peter Cain, who says:
Whereas, Mr.. j. W. s. Cochrane
thought proper to remove one of our dis
trict Teachers and put another one in his
place without our knowledge, an act VIII ch
lido not think in conformity with the
Public School directory of Allegany Coun-
ty, therefore l think while the practices of
the Board of Trustees are sham and a
humbug, l. as one of the trustees of Pom
pey Smash and Hoffman Hollow Public
Schools, do respectfully resign.
Mr.. Cain refers to paragraph Of
District School Trustees" in the
Directory which reads:
Trustees have the power to remove
teacher al any time they may think proper
after thirty days notice given to the teach
er in writing
The occasion of the trouble, we
understand, was the removal of
teacher without consulting the Trus-
tees, and thus disallowing the teacher
the thirty days notice to which he was
entitled Moreover, another teacher
was installed in the same quiet way.
Mr.. Cain regards these actions as not
only ignoring the vested rights of
trustees, but a clear usurpation of
prsrogatives which do not belong to
the Examiner or the School Board.
This is one side of the case; the
other to hear from.
