A DEMOCRArLC GERRYMANDER

The majority in control of the Legislature
arc endeavoring to make it appear that they are
observing great fairness In reapportioning
the State into Congressional districts. The
falsity of this claim is shown by an examination
of the Dewitt AppOrtionment bill, which has
passed the Assembly ald is likely soon to
become law.
In 1880, under the existing Congressional
apportionmcnt, the Democrats elected twelve
out of the thirty three Representatives in Con-
gress from this State. In accomplishing that
result however, owing to the stupidity or some
thing worse of the Buffalo Republican machine,
they elected CONGRESSMAN from the Eric Dis.

The visit of the Malagasy ENJOYS to this
country has reused no little interest i'll the far
away island of Madagascar. A letter from
Washington printed in to-day'S TRIBUNE gives
much valuable information about it, and will
well repay careful perusal. The treaty is also
discussed. THE TRIBUNE has already pointed
out what seemed to BIO an unfortunate clause
in it. 1t is the one which recognizes the
territory of the Queen as covering the whole
of the island of Madagascar. 1t certainly
seems as if this might some time involve us In
trouble with the French Republic. The expla-
nation which the State Department allows to
be made on the point, however, Is
interesting. The clause, it is said, en-
tails no obligation on our Government
to uphold the Queens claim when disputed,
and by recognizing the whole island rs the
Queens We have the right to enter all ports
there. Inscriptions traders from this cOun-
try are thus prevented from selling arms at any
points to the Queens rebellous subjects. With
out the clause, it is asserted, they might in
vOlve us in trouble by their demonstration OF
the treaty. Another criticism which has been
made is of the clause allowing Americans to
hire slave labor In reply it is said that this
objection is more sentimental than real; 1t Is
slave labor there or none.

Goshen is now land flowing with milk if
not with honey. The farmers there, rather than
bring their milk to the dealers in this city,
are giving it away to the poor about
them. The struggle between them and the
New York dealers daily grows sharper.
The farmers are more firmly united than in
the beginning, and keep back larger supply
each day. Then the dealers here show signs
OF decentralization, and are said to be making

The trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge were ap-
pointed to build it, not to run it after 1t was
finished. The proper time, therefore, fer them
TO step down and out seems to be when the
structure is ready for traffic. Then new ques-
tons will arise which should be settled by new
authority. The trustees at their meeting yes
terday, when this matter came up, decided
to linger indefinitely. June has been fixed
upon sem-oficially for opening the bridge,
but it will be strange if it is not delayed beyond
that time. A new board of trustees is to be
named June 2. Under the circumstances perhaps
little harm was done yesterday by the trus-
tees in not selecting the date of their exit But
they would do well to bear in mind that if they
tarry too long the Legislature may act and
deprive them of their chance of going out

The Recent Fire.
The fire that broke out Thursday morning,
on King street, appears to have origina ted
in the front of Mr.. c.. F. Wolfe's grocery
store, the main entrance being almost
forced open by the heat soon after the
alarm was given by Number One bell and
the Police Station bell, at 2:20 Am. Mr.. O..
A. Fassett was the first man at Number
One Engine Company's house, and their
hose was the first to be attached to the
plug at the corner of Alakea and King
streets they quickly ran out nearly five
hundre feet of hose, only to find that there
was no water. Engines Nos. 4 and . were
Immediately connected, the former
at the corner of Alakea and Merchant, n
the latter at the corner OF Fort and Mer-
chant; the Pacific and Chinese engines
were also present. As unfortunately moth
ing could be lone to subdue the flames, at
tention was turned to the saving of prop
erty, for, by this time, Mr.. Rowe's paint
store, Mr.. Ways carpentering establish
ment, and Major Gulick's private residence,
besides some smaller buildings in the rear
that were used as stores or inhabited by
natives, were in flames. Considering the
amount of confusion and hustle always at
tending all occurrence of this kind, there
was very little damage done to the furni-
ture and goods that were removed even

tual sign of a8fles, at once rstshed to give
the alarm. Mr.. Hugh Mcintyre and Cap
tain Mehrtens had the first hose attached.
The Government rave sent a compliment
airy letter to the Captain of the Z. 5. s.
Essex, thanking him for the voluntary as
sistance that was proffered in saving prop
erty and keeping order.
No clue has been discovered as to the
cause OF this destruction of valuable prop
erty, which, it is admitted on all sides,
would have been reduced to a minimum
had there been the usual water supply.
While regretting that such should be the
case, we would mention hat it has been
stated by many spectators, that more built
ings would have been burned but for the
large tamarind and mango trees in the
neighborhood. This naturally causes one to
wonder if it would not be a good idea, in
Ger lin situations where valuable property
is cling erected, to plant numbers of large
ami quick-growing trees which would serve
as a thorough break in cases of fire, also as
an object of beauty, to form q shade, and for
sanitary conditions. From the evidence

William Nevins Armstrong.
Mr.. Armstrong, late Attorney-General
and Minister of the Interior of this King
dom, n who accompanied the King in his
tour round the world puts forth a screed in
the Southern Workman of May, 1888,
which demands q little attention.
The article is in relation to the coronation
of King Kalakaua. In this article Mr..
Armstrong takes pains to incite what he
has elsewhere spoken of as a friction of
races" she says that as the opinion of the
King and the natives are those of ignorant
men, who are somewhat pagan in charac-
ter, there is nothing left for he whites but
emigration or revolution Again he says
1.-The Polynesian government cracks and
curls its whip around the legs of the whites;
they veil and submit" Then he also re-
marks in sneering tones "that the soft air
of the topics subdues the Anglo axon."
Now this we think is a pretty fair at
tempt, so far as words can go, to incite a
conflict of races. This excitement OF
antagonism or confiction of races is alto
gether in the line of Mr.. Armstrong; occu-
patton as a politician of some time past.
In 1878 he went, as a special political agent
to South Carolina to stimulate the colored
vote, or, in other words, to a%ntagonize the
black against the white race. He made
a miserable failure; the blacks rejected his
counsel and voted pretty solidly in support
of a White administration of public affairs.
So he then INDUCED in heightened screeds
and heightened political diatrib es in the
Nineteenth Century Journal. He therein
set forth that mistaken views had been en-
tertained in regard to the value Of the col
ored vote, and s%neeringly spoke of the
mental and moral deficiency of the colored
race as afFording no basis for n valuable po-
litical constituency in aid Of the political
views which he represented. In other
words. after counting the cOlored man and
finding he could not be made to serve his
purpose, he kicked him, and in the same
spirit he essays to kick the native brown
man of these islands. The men of his po-
litical views mainly contributed to give to
natives the right of suffrage without quail
fcation, and now that he wont vote to
suit him, he speaks of him as Ignorant of

Funeral of the Late Chief Clerk.
The funeral of the late John +. Barnard,
for a long period Chief Clerk of the Su-

place last Sunday afternoon from st. An

of the most faithful and upright of men
and was universally regarded by all who
enjoyed his acquaintance as a man of
honor and fidelity. His funeral was largely
attended.
The services were conducted by the Rev.
