The Alabama Election.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 4.-No opposi-
ton whatever to the Democrats on the state
ticket, and very little of a party character in
any of the county contests. In consequence
there was no excitement except where can
didates were running in counties that made
opposition nominations. In these, local is
sues brought out fair vote. The hottest
fight was in Mobile between the Democratic
nominees and the Independent ticket and
in Birmingham Democrats and combina-
ton of Republicans and Green hackers
Those two points were the battle grounds of
the state. Not half dozen Republican leg
islative candidates were running in the state.
The vote in this city was about $500, all
Democratic, as there was no opposition.

A Shooting and q Rape.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 4.-Twelve miles
below this city, on the Little Rock, Mssis-
sippi g. Texas road, Sunday, the deputy sher-
if called on Grayson Jones, a negro, to help
take another negro, name unknown, who
resisted arrest. The negro still resisted and
in the melee Jones shot and killed him.
Jones escaped.
Ellen Rogers, young colored girl, swore
out warrant to-day against Dick Wesson,
also negro, charging him with raping her
Saturday night. She claimed he forced her
to accompany him to a dark alley at the
point of pistol, and there complished his
purpose. Wesson some months ago raped a
white woman in Hot Springs, but got off on
account of insufficient evidence. Officers
are looking for him.

THE PRINCIPLE INVOLVED IN COUNTE'
HANGING CABINET RESOLUTIONS.

This community rises as one man
when such iniquities as the Bank
Charter are forced upon it, and the
voice of the press is unanimous
against it.
But when such enormities rs the
illegal diversion of public funds by
authority only of that Ministerial
fiction, Cabinet resolution, are
made known, large portion of the
community stand by and say, "this
is not our concern, let the opposition
and the Ministry fight it out by
themselves" and the papers who
will fight the Bank Charter to the
last breath, assume q judicial tone,
and wait to see how the vote goes.
Perhaps they can decide better upon
the venality of the Ministerial posi-
tion when they see how Bush and
Walker vote, and are deferring their
judgment until Keau and Aholo and
other Ministerial tools have spoken.
Is it possible that the citizens of
Honolulu do not comprehend the
character OF Cabinet Resolutions? :?
1t simply means that four men who
bovn tbn confidapcn of M ono arn
to have the sole disposal of some
two or three millions a year, with
the power of patronage and ap-
pointment incident thereto. 1t
means that no principle of law, or
regard for honest lawful admins
tration, need be taken into consider
alton by the Government. 1t means
that we are to have no political free
dom, and no voice in the disposition
and management of the public
funds. Is it possible that the citi-
Zens of Honolulu care more for
their pockets than they do for poll
tical liberty?
If so, they will live to rue the
day, for if the action of this Cabi-
net is endorsed, the pockets of the
public will yet be made to feel the
effects thereof.

THE LEGISLATUR
SATURDAY. JUNE 21.-Continued

SATURDAY, JUNE 21.-Continued.
On re-assembling after recess,
Minister Gibson said, l regret to OBJ
serve in this discussion, there are
many of the minor reports of the
Committee continue to be harped
upon, and therefore l intend to
refer to them. The first is the item of
S394.32 paid to the p. e. .4dver-
tiSer twice. This was explained to
the Committee. Owing to changes
of officers in the Foreign and p. G.
A. offices, the new manager of the
latter office thought the bill had not
been paid and presented it to the
new Secretary of the Foreign Office,
he paid it. did not know any,
thing of the transaction, and as
soon as the error was discovered,
the money was returned. The next
item is $50 on account of the
Fishery Exhibition, said to be in
the Acting-Secretary's hands. Ger
tain purchases were made for the
Museum, this amount was balance
uneXpended, and it was being kept
on purpose to purchase few more
articles on the arrival of the Kaluna
from the South Seas. l told the
Acting Secretary to return the amount
but he neglected to do so. All l
can say is | have taken pains not to
retain one dollar of the public money,
and / regret this money was not
returned earlier. AS soon as an
error was discovered it was cor
rected. There is no necessity to
dwell upon this matter as if | had
made a mistake intentionally. Stress
has been made that per cent. addi-
tional had been paid to tax assessors.

HON. n. A. WIDEMANN.

We extend the right hand of
fellowship to the Honorable II. A.
Widemann. He stands among the
Mobiles, pre-eminent, as the only one
who has taken Il bold outspoken
course against the Ministry, denounc-
ing in the strongest terms the mon
strous cabinet Resolution" appro-
priation scheme of the Cabinet, and
declaringly firmly and strongly for
honest, decent, 1aaJu1 administra-
ton. Would that there were more
such men in the House of Mobiles,
instead of the milk and water, bread
and butter incompetents that occupy
some ofIthe seats therein.
Mr.. Widemann deserves the thanks
of every Hawaiian citizen, for the
manly course he has pursued.

for using insulting and scurrilous
language in the House, but his
efforts in this direction eliminated
last Sa urday. Leaving the subject
under debate, he spent twenty
minutes in making vindictivc and
abusive personal attack upon God
frey Brown, Chairman of the. Finance
Committee, and took occasion to
point his remarks and insult the
House and some half dozen ladies
sitting within ten feet of him, by
relating story too indecent to
appear upon the pages of any reput-
able newspaper. Paul Neumann is
making for himself a black record.

THE ADVERTISER" AND Mr.. hEU-
MANN,

The attempt of this mornings S
advertiser to justify the rampant
blackguardism of Mr.. Neumann's S
speech, is as disgraceful to itself as
it is unfair to Mr.. Brown. We have
been compelled to disapprove of
many things in the advertiser, but
we never expected to see that
journal sink to the level where the
Attorney-General put himself last
Saturday afternoon. His harrangue
was without any exception the most
scurrilous, abusive and positively
indecent of any that has ever dis
graced our legislative hall. Mr..
Browns speech has been reported
very fully and the public can judge
of its quality. They are not likely
to have a similar opportunity with
reference to the speech of the At
torney-General. No paper, not
even the .4dvertiSer, dure report
the language he used in the House.
In the name of common decency,
we thank Mr.. Dole for interfering to
stop the disgraceful exhibition.

LOUIS RANKE SKIPS.

The business career of Louis Ranke, who
skipped out the other night without saying
goodbye TO his creditors, in this city was
brief but brilliant.
When he first struck the town he got a
job with H. T. Camien on Main street which
he held down for two weeks. He next en-
barked in the patching business on his
own hook in part of a room on Main street.
He did business there about ten days; then
he hired small place on Douglas avenue
where he carried on repair shop and ap-
peared to be doing well. He got marriage on
the brain and hitched onto girl. Soon af-
ter he borrowed $50 from his brother
in-law; went to ST. Louis and bought quite
a stock of cloths; hired half the room occu-
pied by Hoffman's cigar factory and opened
up US full fedged merchant tailor.
The way the story goes he got about
$500 worth of goods and paid only $50,
getting sixty days on the balance of the bill
1t is also said he gave his brother-in-law
mortgage on the goods. The big merchant
tailor was away above patching and mend
ing now, so the business went TO the dogs
and when the bill fell due there was no
funds to meet it. He then sold the whole
thing TO his brother-in-law and skipped. 1t
is also told that a man for whom he had
made suit of clothes brought them back
after he had worn them awhile, TO have them
changed little and that the great merchant
tailor sold Them to somebody else, notwith-
standing that they had been paid for BY the
first party.
If Louis had stuck TO his patching he
probably would be here all right to-day
and doing well.

CHARITY BALL.

Many were doubtless actuatej bv chart
table motives in attending the entertainment
and ball given by the Ladies' Relief corps in
the opera house last evening, vet those who
were present, and more especially those who
had been induced to attend by the above
philsnthropic nature, were delighted and
surprised by the excellent entertainment and
the unqualified success of the ball. The
opening overture, "Mendelssohn's Wedding
March," was rendered by the Ben. Richards
orchestra in faultless style.
Prof. Price rendered the Rotations,
Doom of Claudius" and Cynthia" in his
characteristic manner.
Prof. Arbucllle was loudly applauded in
and loudly recalled in a number of his ex-
cellen, songs and inimi,able character reci-
tations.
Mrs, DIR. Furley scored decided success
in an excellent recitation, .Parhassius."
The Stsihway Quin:ette clubs "Good-
night my Love-" from Arion, was in such
excellent voice as TO gain for them double
encore, to which they responded in jubilee
and waltz songs.

Gus reading, parody on Poe's Raven.

FOR OR AGAINST WICHITA.

From number OF communications re-
Gently received by some of our business men,
if appears that times are tightening down in
the east TO very unpleasant degree. Dis
trust in business circles prevails to quite an
extent Apprehension regarding the coming
administration is noticeable everywhere,
while perhaps above all, over production
PLAYS the heaviest and mos. damaging part.
A letter Yesterday from Minneapolis, Mimi,
stated that mill firm in that place had
shipped ten thousand barrels Of the best
graded flour delivered in New York city for
$3.50 per barrel Take the freight and the
price of the barrel from this amount and
aPillsbury's best" (said to be the finest
brand of -four made in the United Statesl is
surely getting down to rock bottom. How
will the depression in the east affect the west;
and especially Kansas:
Some persons think the feeling there Will
become infectious, will reach the west in
time and bring about the same consequences
as are now being experienced there. Others
claim that the opposite viii be the result,
that where times are hard and people out OF
employment, they, the people. become dis
contented vnd look for relief to some other
section of the country. The west is the sec
ton that almost all eyes turn TO in cases of
this nature, and of all the states in the west,
Kansas has the call and lead. In Kansas
the southern section is preferred above ali
others, and within this southern portion
Wichita is the great magnetic center to
which thousands are annually drawn, and it
is therefore thought by most of our best in
formed and level headed business men that
next spring will see as large or an even
larger emigration to this city than was had
here during the same time last year. You
can have your choice of opinions. and next
winter we will tell You the result, though of
course We greatly desire and fondly hope
for the latter and the unlimited success of
the lilly OF the valley.

ONE WORD OF TRUTH.
Very respectfully,
Mas. VI. T. LKAsl

Some members of the ChrIftian church
requested us 10 correct sn impress conveyed
by an article in Mondays Beacon, in con-
nection with the family relations of the late
Thomas Ferguson, in which reference was
made 10 the indifference and coldness" OF
his wife TO him during his illness. The ar
ticie also said that her heartlessness when he
was diving. excited both disgust and indigna-
ton. Those who looked after his wants
during the time named, declare that the ar
.icle contained only one truth. and that was
that the man had died. They assert that
there was no truth whatever in the
story Of indifference, colSness or heartiess-
ness. Mrs. Ferguson is in needy eircuin-
stances and the impression getting abroad
that she was that sort of woman wonld do
her great injury. II Is not at all likely that
there was any intention on the part Of the
Beacon TO injure the poor woman; the writet
Of the article in question was evidently mis-.
informed. Great care should be exercised
to get the naked truth before i statement Is
made thvt would injure an innocent person.

MANUFACTURES AND PROSPERITY.


1t has frequently been said, concerning
Wichita, that no city can become great and
prosperous without manufactures. On gen.
eral principles this is good reasoning, but in
times Of financial and commercial depression
no city suffers so mnch as the manufacture
ing city. A city like ours could of course
support large number of manufactures for
supplying the trade of the vast extent OF
country tributary to her, without being
much affected by the periodical panics in
the east. Just now manufacturing
communities are far from being
happy. In Detroit, Michigan, a
reduction of wages and forces has been in
progress for some time and now there are
fully 10000 men out of employment in q
CITY of about 100000 inhabitants; and nearly
as many more whose time and pay has been
cut short
The Michigan, Pullman and Peninsular
car manufacturing companies, when run
ming in full employ a total number of 1000
hands; now they have been compelled to re-
duce their forces to $50 men, leaving Z, loO
persons out of employment in this industry
alone.
All car-wheel companies have reduced
their forces about one-half, throwing out
] 900 men, and putting Az out of 9S2 on
half time. Three stove companies show q
reduction in their whole force of 200 men.
A majority of the boiler and machine
shops are almost entirely idle. The number
of machinists out of employment is estimat-
ed at 500 and those at work are on reduced
time and pay. The Dry Dock company has
reduced its force from 600 to 100. working
nine hours.
Contractors and builders report falling
off of so per cent. OF brick-layers. masons
and cabinet makers IS per cent are out OF
employment.
Upwards of thirty-fve manufacturing es-
Establishments are reported in that city and
only three kinds prosper. These are. tobac-
co, furriers and brcweries-all Injuries. II
Wichita is not great manufacturing city
We nave q. least the cOnsOlatiOll tHdt OUT CITY
is not great poor house, as Detroit and
many other erstern cities are just now.
Every man who comes here from the east
SAYS we have no reason at all to complain.
Mr.. o. ID. Draper, of this city has just re-
turned from an extended visit to Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois.
In conversation with an EAGLE reporter
and some other gentleman, yesterday, Mr..
Draper gave an awful gloomy account Of the
commercial and industrial condition of all
the towns he visited. He said that, even
yesterday, which WAS called very dull here,
there appeared TO be more business done in
day than in Cincinnati. In the interior
towns, he says there is absolutely nothing
doing, and everybody's attention is turned
toward Kansas. The mud and moisture was
so bad, says Mr.. Draper, that / conld not be
induced to live now where i was brought
up.
In view of all the foregoing we ought to
thankful that we are here.
