ME. EDrToE 1 want to address a few remarks
to YOU, bat / do not care to have my name ap-
pear, because 1 once got into a little unpleasant
ness, All on account Of frankly signing my real
name to an article which subsequently appeared
in q foreign journal about certain things in shis
Kingdom. L want it to be understood, though,
that / am a sort Of reverend gentleman filling
the station Of a layman for want of an &C.
elesisstical see to preside over. When this is
known 1t viii be admitted, as a consequence,
that my words are entitled to extraordinary c.n-
sideratinn, as coming from an unquestionable,
and, indeed, sort Of divine source. If 1 should
happen to tell an inadvertent lie, it will, of
course, be considered truth ia view Of the semi
orthodox sourse from which it springs. In fact.
/ am supposed to be so good that falsehood, com
ing from my pen is transformed into truth, as it
were, partially on account Of the cause in which

and partially because Of my well-known in

the former masterpieces Of my pen, aud es-
P~eciaIly those who hive been favored with an

Electricity VS.. Hanging

A contemporary, in drawing attention to
a proposal of Mr.. Lane Fox in a recent is
sue of the ZOOphiIist, to employ a form of
apparatus known to electricians "a the
micro-farad condenser for the destruction of
worn-out horses and domestic animals,
takes the opportunity Of drawing attention
to the barbarities attending the present
use of the long drop in judicial executions.
Mr.. Lane Fox's proposal is a humane one,
but we question whether it will meet with
serious recognition. 1t is applicable to
horses and pet animals only; and is inap-
plicable to animals, the flesh of which is to
be used for food. The plan is too complex,
and involves, in killing a horse, the follow
ing elaborate preparations: The fitting of
an iron plate into the stable floor, and the
connection of this with the negative pole of
--asr--enser formed of alternate layers of
-snnfoil and tissue paper soaked in parafhn.
The condenser is then to be charged from
an ordinary coil to its full capacity, so as to
be capable of producing q one-inch spark.
The animal to be killed Is to have its head,
feet and legs sponged with salt water and
is then to be placed on the iron plate, and
touched on the head by a brass knob at
tached to an Insulating handle, and con-
uected WitLELne positive pune III the OOh

SESECTUTE.

Mr.. EDITOR: Can it be possible, Mr.. Editor,
that there Is to be no general celebration of the
coming Fourth of July2 No public recognition
here of the Great Republic, which has shown
such special favor to Hawaii through her reci-
procity treaty-that country whose wonderful
growth during the past century, from q tottling
infant to a nation of ffty-fVe millions Of peo-
pleI Has the spirit that inspired our fathers
in their terrible struggle for liberty, become so
degenerate in their descendants that we refuse
to listen to the story of their deeds-refuse to
gather together under ''the star-spsngled bait
ner,'' and join in its soul-inspiring strsins-snd
refuse to contribute even a paltry sam for a ss-
lutte in honor Of the day-all because somebody
else, equally loyal, worthy and patriotic. desires
to join in the festivities?
Is this the return We intend to make for our
countrv's generous dealing with Hawaii during
the past six years? Is this the response we
make for the long-sought bSon of reciprocity,
which has developed our sugar trade from forty
millions to one hundred millions of pounds an
nually, aud raised our natianol reVenue to mill
has lined our wharves and streets
with warehouses and tores-dottsd our suburbs
with charming villas-flled our channels with
coasting steamers. and our harbors with a feet
Of three hundred merchant vessels annually
visiting as ?
Now, more than at any time, should Americans
living IN Hawaii, be unanimous and harmonious
in celebrating their country's birthday. And
more than this, l hold that not only they,
but all true Hawaiians, aud ali of other national
tiles also residing here, and who are sharing in
the benefits of the treaty, should vie with them
in doing honor to the country that had dealt
most magnanimOusly with them. All who Join
in celebrating the day show u respect for Ha-
waits most generous benefactor, and th us help
to assure the continuance of the treaty: all who
refuse to do so, VIII assist to terminate it.

Mr.. EDITOR Although but a visitor in these
Islands 1 have not failed to remark the vim
dictive and Hncalled for attacks of your coEtem-
poraries on every action Of the government, aud
Citizens - letter of last Wednesdays Gazette
shows that it Is merely for the sake Of cavil aud
want Of something to say that such are made.
That this is so was too plainly shown in the let
ter about the religious journals of this city in
the Saturday Press OF last week.
But to come to the point at issue. Now the
Madras has gone, the mounted constabulary is
the new grievance. 'Citizen" speaks Of an awk-
ward squad OF three men aud seven boys no
body I saw was under the age OF nineteen, and 1
should think that England has proved to the
world, without any doubt, that boys (and it is d
known fact that the English army is composed
chiefly of boysl can do as well rs full-grown
men if necessary the battle of Kassassin and
Tel-eI-Kiber were fought and won by boys. The
uniform is called grotesque, it is certainly not
picturesque, bur 1t is seryiceable, and any man
THAI has seen service can say that uniform does
not make the soldier. Ally opinion of the uni
form is that it is light and serviceable, aud
surely Citizen would not have any more
money spent in giving the constabulary gold
lace facings, etc.
The horses III one place aS cAHed lndlueESht,
and then ut the end are acknowledged to be well
groomed aud kept, and while the men are stated
to have well-polished boots. This at least proves
that Captain Haley Will not let his men turn
ont sloTenly, and can anybody expect that a
body Of men only just enlisted, with horses I'M
used to-the words Of command, will march as
regularly as the Horse Guards in England OF
any other trained body of cavalry.
Anyone knowing anything about cavalry will
know that 1t depends as much on the horses be-
ing hdndled 10 know the words Of command aud
10 march insteP, as the rideP to give q military
appearance TO q hsdy OF horsemen.
When / saw them marching in the procession
on Sunday last l thought that great credit was
due to Captstp Haley Ton the speed with which
lie has got usDody Of raw men and unframed
horses into q discipliued7body Of cavalry.
Thanking you for yont space. I remsip, yours

GENERAL NOTES.

England has $4,000, 100000 invested
abroad.
Vermont has two women acting as mail
carriers.
There is to be another international eX-
hibitiOn held by the French Government
at Paris in 1885.
California produces half the quicksilver
in the world; 100, Do, 267 pounds in the
last thirty years. of which two-thirds
went abroad.
A set of paper wheels under a truck of
an engine of the Central Vermont Rail-
road have been in use twelve years and
they are still apparently sound.
There were 1877 Quakers in Great
Britain and Ireland, besides 6, 100 regular
attendants at the Friends meetings who
are not in full membership.
A day laborer on the railroads at De-
troit failed in business at Indianapolis
two years ago with liabilities of $225,000.
He then had $685. 900 assets and now earns
81 per day.
More than 10000 persons were detected
during the past year trying to defraud the
North London Company by riding in a
superior class to that for which they had
paid, or by paying no fare at all.
So many logs have been cut and hauled
this season in Maine that it is thought the
mills will not be able to saw more than
half of them. In the Machias basin alone
10000, 600 feet of logs have been cut.
The counties of England and Wales
spend $15, O0O, 600; a third of it for police
and 81. 400, 600 for roads. About half the
entire receipts are from local taxation,
nearly all the rest being from the impe-
rial Treasury.
A man was discovered n few days ago
concealed behind the door of back entry

what he wanted, he said: "Beg pardon,
| should have knocked. Do you want
your life insuredW
The Bourbons are all very wealthy.
The villa at Cannes of the Count de Bardi,
one of the Parma branch of the family, is
so expensive that the late Empress of
Russia did not feel justified in renting it
at the price asked.
In response to an advertisement for
twenty young men to appear as peasants
and courtiers in new piece at the Madi-
son Square Theatre, 100 people of every
age. size and complexion presented them
selves as applicants.
Anelevated railroad locomotive dropped
hot Goals on horse, and the horse hurt a
bow. 1t has cost the road $1,000 in spite
of the claim of the railroad in court that
the owner of the horse ought TO pay

would stand still when hot Goals fell ON
him.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette (Rep.)
When we allow that free trade is bene-
fetal over a continent 5000 miles across
and 1000 miles up and down, we put into
the hands of the free-traders an argument
which they use with destructive effect.
Theinternal trade is more than ten times
the foreign trade. When we protect
against this, and let that go free, we cling
to the tail after we have let go the hide.
If it is a continental principle, how can
we oppose free trade with Canada? The
vain Sentiment of pride in territorial big
ness must not be permitted to impOverish
us by baleful trade. Nor is division
of the nation absolutely necessary to the
higher application of the protective prin-
ciple, for by the resembling of a restrictive
clause in the Constitution the several
States may multiply their wealth by pro-
tecting against one another, while hold
ing to the political union for the general

The New York Sun essays at times the
role of mentor to the Democratic party. Its
last mOdicum of counsel for the party to
declare first, s.For tariff for revenue
only. and secondly for ''The tariff as the
only source of revenue" We confess
our obligations to our great con-
temporary for beth these suggestions, but
il occurs to us that the second in
cIudes the first, for, if adopted and APP
proved by the people, the revenue policy
that would be necessitated would be
about as near free trade as the country
can reasonably hope to approach.
Our contemporary says truly that war
taxes are unconstitutional and radically
unjust. Equally so, we submit, are war
tariffs. The internal revenue taxes are
the strongest props of the protected mo-
nopolists. for if those taxes were repealed
the government would be compelled to
reduce the duties on imports to a revenue
standard, thus making protection an in
cident instead of being, as now, largely
the object of the tariff The prOtectiOnists
made a great pretense of wishing to over
throw the system of war taxes, but ''Pig
from Kelley and his cOnfreres were careful
enough to pause in their course and take
off burdens only from those who could
really best afford to bear them.
1t makes little difference to man
whether he can procure box of matches
for cent or two, or three cents, but makes
considerable difference to him to be COM
DeIled to paw the enhanced cost of a coat
or pair of blankets, produced by reason
of the duties levied for protection. The
SUMS suggestion is a wise one, and the
Democracy should heed it, but 1t would
be just about as well that Mr.. Samuel j.
Randall, for instance, be not intrusted
with the control of the committees of the
Democratic House that may essay to
carry out such policy as this suggestion
calls for" The tariff the only source OF
Ievenue.'' The strictest of strict con-
structiOnists could ask for nothing more

The Latest Radical Moses.


The Brooklyn Eagle, which is sound
and influential Democratic journal, puts
the situation so tersely and plainly that
we are surprised the suggestion towards
harmony which we are about TO make has
not occurred to everybody already. The
Edgle saws: "Randallism is Republican
ism spread over Pennsylvania; Repub-
licanism is Vandalism spread over
the entire country" That is
not only neat but true, and leads
squarely up to the HerdLdS proposition
This is, that the Republicans shall nOmi-
nate Mr.. Samuel j. Randall for President
next year. If they will do that we be-
lieve they will carry the election. Mr..
Randall is an astute political worker; he
is all right on the silver question; he has
lately favored the improvement of the
Mississippi; he will agree to do whatever
may be eXpedient against the Mormons;
he has not stolen anything or been con-
spicuously concerned in jobs, and that,
we take leave to tell the Republicans, will
be a great advantage for them in candi-

That san Francisco father who sought
to encourage his son in ways of thrift
ought to be pretty well satisfied with the
boys business abilities. He allowed his
offspring $50 per week for pocket money,
and in order to inspire saving prOpensi-
ties, offered to allow him two per cent. a
month on all moneys that the boy should
deposit back with him. The boys account
with the father grew tremendously large
so large as to inspire wonder, and the
father, upon investigation, found that his
young hopeful was in the habit of borrow
ing money at 10 per cent. a year and de-
posting it, under the terms of the con-
tract at q per cent.
