"Now to the true object Of this projected
trip of Kalakaua. In plain English, it Is a
trip of death to King Kalakaua. Claus
Spreckles ct al, understanding thoroughly the
nature of the royal beast and his weakness
for dissipation, including, of course, drink
and depraved women, have projected this
trip to throw the king into a variety of eli
mates, which his present constitution can not
stand, and thus for him to die while on the
tour, and the kingdom to see him no more.
In Kidding the Kingdom of ka'akaua, the
American element will in fact own, as well as
rule, the islands.
cone of the reasons why the Americans
do not now, nor have they in the past. shown
any disposition towards Queen Emma, as
good a woman as she is, is because she has
always leaned toward the English govern
ment, and it has always been feared that the
islands would fall into England's possession.
The scheme is TO make the Hawaiian Is
lands a portion of the United States, and as

1876. and holds until 1854. This treaty was
negotiated in the interest Of Claus Spreckles,

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Among the items
added by the senate committee to the sundry
civil appropriation bill is $4,000 for a new
light house on the coast of California.
The president sent to the senate the nomi-

Withdrawn at his own request.
The senate amendment to the snndry civil

case, however, it dill lot pay. The gallant
m.jor, being too much indisposed to make
the trip successfully lay down in the snow for
some time in front of his own door, as is
generally known in Helena, and the result
was the frozen hands which he carried with
him to Washington.
As for Gov. Potts giving aid to the demo-
Gratis, he has been the worst enemy of the
party in Montana. He has rallied ABOUT him
self the best element in the republican party,
and has thus preserved it from the utter and
hopeless degradation and contempt into which
it would have fallen had it possessed no more
respectable leadership than that Of the Fisks,
the Sanderses, the Blakes, and men of that
ilk. If ever the federal offices of this terri
tory fall under the control OF this element, it
will be a sad day for Montana; but the gene
raj disgust which would soon be cngendered
would vastly increase the democratic vote.
Fisk. statement in regard to the Indian
agents being all democrats is Of "a piece with
the rest of the story. There are five Indian
agents in the territory, viz: John Young of
the Blackfoot Agency, A. II. Keller, agent of
the Crows, Wellington Bird at Fort Peck,
W. l.. Lincoln of the Gros Ventres agency,
aid Peter Ronan, agent of the Flatheads.
All these are republicans except Roman, who
owes his appointment to Catholic influences,
his agency being placed at the disposal of that
church. Evidently a change of climate has had
no effect upon the well known propensities

The "Tribune' Almanac gives the total
vote cast at the late presidential election at

over Hancock as 3,033. But according to the
Cincinnati '.Enquirer" the whole number of
votes cast was 0, 169.213, and Hancock's popu-

RICE CULTURE IN THE
SOUTH WEST.

Before the war our rice crop came
chiefly from the Carolnas, During
the past ten years the rice industry has
been extended to Louisiana, where
over $4,000 acres are now devoted to
it, and the annual crop OF the country
has been doubled. In the meantime
great improvements have been made
in the ,hrashing and cleaning the grain
by the introduction of machinery.
When the grain is cut it is stacked in
the fields to sweat, to facilitate the
thrashing, after which the rice is sent
to special mills for hulling and polish
ing. There are seven mills of this sort
which have been built in New Orleans
during the past decade. Each mill
employs from twenty to forty hands,
and all are busy. The rough rice is
received in large bins, from which ii is
winnowed and siited TO remove sticks
and rubbish. To remove the beard the
rice is passed through revolving
"hoodlum," from which il is carried TO
the "stones," which crack off the hulls.
Then the dark.colored grains are pol
ished for market. The polisher con.
sists OF shcepskin, tanned, stretched
over sheep wool on revolving cylinders,
the space between the sheepslins and
wire gauze being just sufficient to allow
the rice grains TO find their way by
degrees to tho bottom. The grains are
highly polished by the friction against
the skins, which rubs off the bran and
leaves the grain clean and white. The
bran amounts TO eight barrels iorevery
hundred barrels of clean rice. 1t is
sometimes used TO adulterate spices
The waste in hulling averages about 8
or G per cent, but sometimes reaches
20 per cent. The hullers receive from
half cent to three-quarters of o cent
per pound for hulling.

MID WINTER MALARIA.

From some cause or combination Of
causes tho present Winter has been
remarkable for q widely extended and
marked increase in diphtheria and
scarlet fever, which have invaded
homes in which tho highest attainable
skill has been exercised and the most
approved appliances have been en-.
ployed to render them as healthy as
possible. In some cases the immedi.
ate causes of these disorders are un'
discoverable, but in tho light of sani.
tary science the class OF agents which
either initiate or greatly increase the
virulence Of those complaints is nc
longer problematical. Decaying or.
ganic matters, particularly animal
exoretions, give rise TO subtle blood
poison, which, though Il yet evades
chemical analysis, is now conceded on
all hands TO be positive deadly fact
When this poison invades a dwelling
no matter whether from exterior OF
interior sources, in sufficient quantity,
the lives OF the inmates are jeopardlzed
as positively as though they were
compelled TO breathe mephitic gas.
The effect may not be 80 prompt OF
fatal, but the danger is fact no longer

THE BOERS' AND THE MEAN
ING OF THE NAME.


The Beers of South Africa are so
called because of their occupation and
way of life. They are "boors," which
is the Dutch word for "farmer" or
peasant" corresponding to the Ger
man word "bauer," and the English
word, now degraded from its early and
honorable signifcance-"boor" Orig

Hope in the beginning of the seven
teenth century when Holland was the
first maritime State in the world, these
Dutch colonists were gradually forgot.
ten and neglected as the power of Hol-
land declined. In 1914 the Cape def.
nitely became an English colony to
the disgust of the Beers, great body
OF whom finally moved off bag and
baggage in 1888 for Natal, resolved
like our Pilgrim fathers to change
their soil, as they could not change
their Government They lost their
way in the wilderness, but lead by a
remarkable man, Pretorious, they final
ly founded an establishment known
since as PETER Maritzburg. The Eng.
llsh authorities followed them up, how
ever, and the early like the later years
of the reign of Victoria were marked
by conflicts between these sturdy Meth
erlanders of the South and the great
power which overshadows them. Early
in May, 1S42, Sir. IL. G. Smith was
beaten in an engagement on the from
tiers of Natal, but before the end Of
the month the British occupied the
whole country. The Boers again
moved Northward. Pretorious with
the majority of his people crossed the
River Vaal and founded the "South
African Republic" of the Transvaal.
Some twelve thousand of the Beers
who remained in the region between
the River Vaal and Orange River were
taken under the British Dominion by
a proclamation dated February 3, 1S4S.
The Kaflir war which broke out in
1851, made the English Government
understand tho importance Of pre-
serving the peace among the whites of
all races and tongues in South Africa,
and in 1854 the Independence of the
Orange Free State was recognized.
The Beers of the Transvaal are natu.
rally unable to understand why their
South African Republic should not be
treated as well as the Orange Free
