ACT SO.
alexandria Democrat. !

A bill has been introduced in the
legislature to repeal this act; has been
reported favorably, and OF course will
pass as no one nOaU has any interest IN
its further existence. 1t is another in
stance of locking the stable door after
the horse is out and away. The repeal
of the act will be seryiceable only in
this, that it is condemnation OF what
was done by it's promoters under it.
1t was plausible and fair seeming
villainy. There was nothing on its
face to indicate what was to be done
under cover of it, nothing to warn the
unwary legislator of it's roal purport.
There was to be commission OF five
and the Governor was to be chairman
Of it, and was to appoint the other four,
edness Of the State, which were to be
receivable for certain taxes, and so
many kinds of taxes, that the certlti-
cate would inevitably command high
.9r rate in the market than any bond or
warrant that the State had issued. Gov
tsrnor Wiltz appointed his co-commis-
sieners, and the mill ground out the
certificates with astonishing readiness.
Gauthreaux Of savoury reputation re-
eeiyed over one hundred thousand
fiollars of them before the sun had set
Oh the commissions first days labors:
We commend to the gentleman who
has introduced the repeating act to
urobe the matter little deeper. A res
olution calling for the minutes Of the
proceedings of these commissions to be
laid before the legislature, or lest they
should answer that none are preserved,
calling for a list of the beneficiaries of
the act, and of the sums respectfully
received by them, would be appetizing
literature. Nothing would relieve the
dali monotony of the Capital SO much
as the publication Of this roll OF dis
Ionor, and nothing would be of more
service to the public. There may be
some names upon it which should hot
Justly share this condemnation. but the
nuiIic will discriminate, and il it does
lot. there will be opportunity for ex-
culpation.

The Fittest Survive.

The awful truth implied in Mr.. Dar-
wins phrase, "the survival OF the hit
test,n is exemplited anew at the Sand
wich Islands. The Chinese seem filter to
survive there than the amiable, pleasure
loving natives, and it seems as it the
yellow race might in the distant future
possess their lands.
Gen. w. n. Armstrong, son OF one OF
the early missionaries, and now mem
Der OF the Kings cabinet, gives hint
of the process by which the ChInaman
gets the advantage OF the natives, ana
IN so doing, the General writes the his
tory of one phase Of human develop
ment.
The man of the almond eye lands up
On the islands poor, and in debt for his
passage money but he is alert, watch
ful, Submissive, and surpasses the pro-
verbal bee in industry and economy.
By the exercise of these qualities he
soon becomes small capitalist, ana
looks out for opportunities to invest
protitably his earnings.
The native meanwhile cultivates, in
lis indolent way, the little patch OF
land on which lie was born, gaming
thereby a subsistence which satisfies all
his desires but one. That one is the
desire for strong drink.
The government OF the lslands,
knowing this weakness of the natives,
long ago made it unlawful to sell or
give them intoxicating liquors. The
Chinaman sees here an opportunity Tor
large returns for his money invested,
and he sets up in some secluded place,
beyond the range Of the Kings police, a
small distillery, where he makes some
thing which he calls gin, and which
does actually possess all the potency OF
that accursed liquor to make men
drunk.
This gin he sells secretly to the ma
tive, who, though he dearly loves his
home, gets so deeply in debt to the
Chinaman, that often before many
months go by, he is obliged to give up
his land to the gin maker.
tits not uncommon for the two men
to change places in single season.
Thus, in June the Chinaman will be
working for the natl We owner OF the
soil, and in November OF the same
year the native will be the hired ser
.Taut of the Chinaman, who will own
the natives farm and live in the ma
tive's house.
Sometimes a Chinaman will hire a
farm and pay to it's native owner por-
ton of the rent in advance. Away
goes the native to the city, where he
spends his money for intoxicating drinks
until it is gone. In these and other
ways, the natives, for whom SO much
has been done during the past sixty
years, are losing their birthright, and
In many instances are becoming the he
lots of stronger and more industrious
race.
So goes the world. The natural laws
hold their course. He who obeys them
is the "tittest'' man, and he survives
This is true of the physical. 1t is true
also of the moral. The weak fall into
the lower grade, or perish from the
earth. All of which is just as true OF
the Fifth avenue and of Beacon street
as it is of Sandwich Islands.

A Drunkard's Wife.

We can hardly imagine woman plac-
edin more trying or humiliating condi
tion than a wife OF an habitual drunk
ard. See her as she weeps in solitude
over the erring one, who vowed at the
altar to be true to her, to cherish and
protect her, and to whom she, in inno-
cent faith, looked upon as being noble,
generous and good. Little did she
think, perhaps, as she sat by the side
of her lover IN the bright days of her
girlhood, listening to the sweet words
that fell from his lips, that in the fu-
ture she wonld he druukard's wife;
little did she dream of the dark, dismal
future that lay bafore her, as with light
heart she heard the voice of her dear
old pastor pronounce them man and
wife, which made her the happy bride
of the man she lovad. None but those
who have experienced it can have any
adequate conception of the misery, woe
and wrstchedness of the drunkarl's
wife, Her life robbel Dy the demon OF
strong drink, Of all that is calculated to
render it sweet and pleasant, what has
she to look forward to but an untimely
death and an early grave. j. II. M.
