ISOLATION.

You hold my hands, and look into my eyes,
And dream You read my souls depths with your
own,
As consonant chords pulse vibrant to one tone {;
Yet would we both be smitten with surprise
If each could tread the labyrinth that lies
In solitude the other haunts alone,
You sure would deem you trod a land unknown,
And L would break the silence with my cries.
And since one soul cannot gauge the recesses,
Another in its hidden mazes keeps,
How glad a thing that neither ever guesses
Half the vague doubts that stir the spirit deeps,
Or ever fathoms all the bliss that blesses,
Or circumscribes the woes DER which it weeps.

A more repulsive or disgusting being does
not exist than a journalist who considers it
legitimate to ransack his neighbours closet
and parade all the dirty linen he can find
there before the public eye. To such a man
nothing is sacred from publication if it will
sell. Of course it will sell, for the same
reason that indecent pictures sell faster than
works Of pure art; ID will sell, even as ardent
spirits command a more active market than
the revised edition of the New Testament.
But because there is a quick sale and a de-
sirable profit in this sort of blackmail jour-
nalism, is not a justification for its publica-
ton. If its only effect is the Generalization
and corruption of public taste and feeling,
then 1t Is not Legitimate, but inhumsn jour-
nalism. The keyhole spy, the eavesdropper,
the petty mailer, the local black-lister and
scandal-monger who prints all the bad smells
his inquisitiye nose catches on the sidewalk,
Is not an enterprising journalist nor editor in
any Legitimate understanding of the word;
he is only a dirty scavenger who decks out
a dinner table for the public with the filthy
collections of his calling; he is a reckless
public enemy, an indefatigable ~incendiary Of
the basest and vilest sort. Read the police
reports of certain sorts of city papers; they
are deliberately prepared and bristle with
sarcasm and low wit. discharged at the
lowest, most f%orlorn, ~friendless, feeble and

MORE OF THE TREATY.

II were best TO understand our attitude
towards the Hawaiian Islands. No amount
of maligning or of SANDER can drown the
truth that the Hawaiian reciprocity has
brought more trade and profit to San Fran
cisco than any other treaty ever did before
or since. Statistics of unquestionable authen-
ITCHY prove this beyond a doubt. Prior to
1876, the number of ships which were an
nuaIly cleared from this port for the Ha-
waiian Islands was 19: already in 1878 the
number rose to 1l2. The past year nearly
200 clearances for the same destination prove
the growth of our trade. Clearances of
lumber craft from other ports will add no
less than forty more. There is no port south,
east or west of San Francisco that compares
with Honolulu in importance, and even
Portland, Oregon. with its regular steamship
line, does not exceed this. The profit ac-
cruing from this connection can be only
approxinated, because our data embrace
merely the value of exports without taking
into consideration the expenditures neces-
sary for forwarding freight, teaming, in
surance, fitting and provisioning vessels,
coal, repairs. wages and a hundred other
items which inure to our benefit, and are
directly attributable to the existence of that
treaty. The class of goods exported to the
Islands has steadily increased in quantity
and improved in quality with the ratio of
growing prosperity of the Islanders, until to-
day the best class of fabrics, the higher
grades of manufactured goods, and many
articles of comfort and luxury form a large
portion of the export trade. BY virtue of
the peculiar adaptabIlity of the soil of the
Islands for the raising of sugar cane, all
other crops there have become quite insight
fcant, and it is California upon which the
Hawaiians depend for their supply of bread
stuffs and feed. Even cattle, hogs and horses
are regularly exported from here, and visit
inc Honolulu an American can see but little
that strikes him as foreign. The houses,

shops, the ways of business, all are

pearance conveyances of American man.

return for the treaty, and for the most part

trouble to find as good a market for their
sugar ~eisewhere), then let the facts be con-
sidered that the populations f6e Islands !

DEPENDENCE.

Through infinite Nature there is found
vast dependence, like 4 chain
Whose admantine links retain
Their power while interbound
The passion and the might Of breath,
The struggle Of the strong and weak,
The instinct of the beast 10 seek
Life in another's death
The yearning of the human mind,
Which scars beyond its prison-place
To azure heights of time and space
And dares the undivined
Sunlight, and air, and subtle force,
And each sky-wonder that appears,
The circling movement Of the spheres,
The earth's ethereal course
All are dependent, living links
OF one harmonious world Of law,
Whose calm progression fills with ave
The soul that feels and thinks.

Spokane Falls Chronicle: We were
shown some remarkably rich speci-
mems OF ores which Professor Tiernan
is preparing to send to the mineralog-
ical cabinet of the Northern Pacific
Railway company at their head9uar-
ters in Mills building in New York
city. The specimens are from mines
awaiting development by parties con-
nected with the company and are To-
Gated near the line Of the road in Mon
tana, about days ride by rail from
Spokane. The specimens include gold
silver, copper, gaIena and iron, and
the silver ore Is regarded by Professor
Tiernan as the richest specimens
known In any mineral collection in
the world. His collection shows 4
wonderful combination and variety Of
the blending of different mineral ele-
ments, and is bewildering In the rich
ness OF color yielded and the immense
value contained in = ton OF the raw
ore. The professor also discovered =
new mine In Idaho on his return from
Montana, which bears chlorides Of sill
yer and indicates rich yield. Smelt-
ing will be the process for reducing
these ores, and Of course will require
expensive machinery, but the compile
.tion Of the road makes this immense
mining region easily accessible aud
we may look tor developments.

ASCENT OF MoUT RAINIER. On Aug.
22nd, Messrs. Geo. B. Bayley, of San
Francisco; VIM. c. Ewing, Of Ohio,
and James Longmire and p. b. Van
Trump, of this county, returned from
a trip to Mount Rainier. The party
were six days in reaching the top Of
the mountain, and remained one
night on the summit. Relics Of Van
Trump and Stevens visit, several
years ago, were found, although the
appearance of the mountain had con-
siderably changed. They slept at the
same place in the crater occupied by
the previous party, utsufiered greatly
by the heat Of the crater and the cold
atmosphere outside. They passed over
two distinct craters, one joining the
other, from which clouds Of steam
were continually ascending, though
they saw no fire, even at night. This
trip seems to have been attended with
great danger and hardship, and none
Of the party seem to have any desire
to make another ascension Of this
grand old mountain.-Oiynlpid Tran

A recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States, in what is
known as "the granger case from Hi
nois," settles an important principle
The point involved was the right of
the state legislature to fix or modify
the rates charged for the transporta-
tion offreight and passengers. A pas
senger on the Chicago Burlington &
Quincy railroad rendered eighteen
cents for ride of six mile, the law
then in force limiting the charge to
three cents mile. The conductor de-
manded twenty cents, the tariff fixed
by the company for single lassage
between the two points. Payment of
the additional two cents was refused
and the passenger was elected. This
was in 1873, aud ii has taken ten years
to reach a final decision in the court
of last resort. The railroad company
was beaten in the state courts, and,
denying the right Of the state to inter-
fere with its business by fixing rates
of fare and transportation, appealed to
the supreme court of the United States.
The main point urged by the railroad
company was the uncOnstitutionality
Of the act of the Legislature fixing y
maximum rate of charges, on the
ground that such restriction impaired
the obligation contained in the char
ter of the company. The supreme
court decides that no incorporated
company has right to presume grants
of immunity from legitimate legisla-
tion, and that unless the exemption is
clearly established the legislature is
free to act as the public interests may
t0 rnntrfpn In thar vayAr1S tho
presumptions are all in favor of the
state, and laws limiting the amount
of charges for transportation must be
can clearly establish its exemption.
In this case the state had given the di-
rectors ofthe company power to estab-
lish such rates as they might deter
mine, but with the proviso that the
bylaws of the company should not be
repugnant to the laws of the state.
The decision 10 important in that II
applies to all states having the legis-
tive power to regulate the charges OF
common carrieAs. The principle laid
down Is plain one, that the company
which claims immunity from restric-
tion in the matter of charges must be
able to establish that claim by the
terms OF the charter. When the legis-
lature imposes a limitation by statute,
the presumption is that the law is not
only valid, but that 1t has been passed
to subserve the interests Of the public.
This decision is in line with other re-
cent ones, both of state and national
tribunals, and the principles it sets
forth, though once not accepted sc
broadly as at present, may now be re-
garded as permanently established in
our Jurisprudence.
