The AmmOniaphonc. A

We noticed some time ago the invention Of
the ammonaphone, a silver tube filled with
peroxide of hydrogen, ammonia, and certain
fragrant oils, by which its inventor, DR.. Car
ter Mcffat, claims he can enable any one to
inhale ian artificial condensed Italian air"
which has the most magical effect on tho
human voice. Thus, squeaky voices are con-
verted into robust tenors, and after few
whiffs at the ammcniaphone the rustiest
croaker who ever wheezed through stsvs
warbles like Mr.. Sims Reeves

both claims. Il would appear probable that
even in ancient times there were some boun-
5ary lines left indefinite.
Another description Of evidence introduced
is the recital in sundry awards OF kuleanas
that were in or adjacent to keauiou OF to
Paakca. Whatever is the force Of these re-
ciials, there are some on both sides OF the
case. But We do not consider them con-
elusive. They are descriptions incorporated
in the survey, made hy surveyors, ex parie,
and without necessarily implying investiga-
ton. The surveys being then Incorporated in
the awards, do not import that the Board Of
Land Commissioners determined that these
collateral descriptions were correct, and that
the land named as adjacent was in fact such
land.
The evidence goes Ia show that Kekna-
uaoa remanded in possession Of the disputed
territory, ard during series Of years enjoy
ed the usulruel Of the land; which was chief

cency and this location was suitable. In like
manner in the year lssl small po1 hospital
was erected on this site 10y the permission Of
the late Ruth Keelikclani, then holding this
estate. Neither docs it seem TO us conclusive
against this being held as private property
that the buildings had been removed from an
adjacent location upon the objection Of the
owner, and presumably were moved 10 a
location belonging 10 the government They
we're removed TO location belonging TO or
controlled by tue governor, who as a large
land holder could grant such privilege.
Upon consideration of all the testimony,
which is voluninous, and of the carefully
prepared decision Of the Boundary Commits
sioner, We are Of opinion that the decision
should be reversed, and that the boundary Of
Paakea be as claimed by the petitioners and
set forth in their map and survey.

THE MORAL ISSUE.

The New York In6efendent, having
cut loose from the Cleveland ring of
the New York Independents, while it
does not support either of the other
candidates for president is giving its
late love the benefit of some very cut
ting and caustic remarks. Under the
above heading, in its issue of August
2S.h, which lies before us, it reviews
the situation In a lengthy editorial
from which we make the following ex-
tracts:
1t turns out, however, even before
the active work OF the canvass has
fairly begun. that, as to a most vital
question of personal morals, the pri-
vate character of this so-called reform
candidate has been one of such rotten
ness as justly to destroy all claim in
his behalf to the confidence and respect
of the American people Whether the
members of the Democratic Conven-
ton were acquainted with the facts. in
MS private life, when they nominated
lim, we do not know; but, for their
sake, we will assume that, if they had
know them, Mr.. Cleveland would no,
have been the candidate Of the Dem
ocratic party. To nominate such a
man with this knowledge, would imply
a most astounding lack of common

morals so vitally and so dangerously tc
the public good as utterly to disqualifl
him for the office OF President, or any
other office in the gift of the people
This is the position THE INNEPENDENT
