QUEsrIONABLE VICTORY.

We were not surprised at the result
Of the vote on the "want of confidence"
resolution. Nor were we surprised at
the means employed to obtain that
result, even to the ministers voting for
themselves 1t was meet that such a
cabinet, proven to have hagrantly vio-
lated law, should not stop at violating
common decency 10 save themselves.
But although they claim the victory,
what consolation can it bring to them1
The Independents fought nobly, and
were successful in proving their charges.
In the estimation of the people, the
capinet are as much convicted as though
their four votes had been withheld, as
though the votes of nine members had
not been bought by assessorships, as
though one Of the mobiles had not been
forced back into the house by family
pressure to vote against his convictions
Such victory as this the ministry are
welcome to, and were they not lost to
all sense of honor they would early
have resigned their portfolios after a
battle SO fought and no better won.
But the day Of retribution will surely
come. Shall the loed calls for reform,
throughout the length and breadth OF
this land, force the needed change or
will the king hear and heed the prayers
Of his subjects' II was a significant
tact that neither OF the kings brothers
in law voted ON the resolution. Speed

On Tuesday last, resolution was
in the assembly by Hon.
Cecil Brown 10 the following effect {;
That the newly appointed tax assessors
who are also members of the assembly
be excused attendance during the
remainder of the session in order to
enable them TO attend to their duties
in compliance with the requirements of
the law, The resolution was provoca-
tive Of considerable nairth for its dry
humor but was voted down, as the gov
ernment party could not, at this parti-
cular time, well spare nine OF its mem
bers, But there is in reality, something
more than mere humor in the suggcs-
tion as reading of the law will show.
The law provides that owners OF real
OF personal property shall make a
return of the same to the assessor
during the month OF July" and any
one failing so to do, shall be deprived
OF the right of appeal and subject to
such assessment as the assessor himself
shall make. Unless the assessors OF
districts on the other islands do follow
the suggestion OF Mr.. Cecil Brown and
80 TO attend to their duties, within the
time prescribed, then their assessments
will be Illegal, and if illegal the tax.
payers will have right to refuse pay
ment. Another alternative would be
TO compel those residing on the Other
islands to come to Honolulu to make
their returns, but we doubt il this
would be legal even if practicable
The only other thing left to be done
would be to adjourn the assembly fol
two weeks but whether such al
adjournment could he carried, i
another question.

An Old Time Cider Drinker.

One Of the oldest men in Winthrop,
Me-. is Uncle Bragdon. He is about
10 years of age now, and his occupation
from mill work to hoeing potatoes is,
principally, drinking cider The story
of his bargin with the widow is probably
the best of many told about him, be-
cause it is true The widow in ques-
ton had a great pile of wood in her
dooryard, and Uncle Bragdon was hired
to saw and split it. He soon began to
ask for cider and the widow, who had,
like every one else in Winthrop, acellar
full, favored the old mans within until
he had elnptied key or two, and then,
by agreement, she began to charge
small price per gallon. The wood saw
ing went on; with drink Of cider be-
tween every two sticks, and the widow
kept tally. When the job was done the
widow and Uncle Bragdon figured UP,
and for fact he had drank so much
cider that he owed the widow $3.50.

The Senatorial Orators.

Reporter Murphy, the veteran stem
ographor of the senate, says: Webster
was very slow talker, and he would
not average over 100 words minute.
Henry Clay spoke much faster, roll
ing out about 150 words to the minute.
Calhoun was also slow until he became
reused up with the enthusiasm of his
subject, when his words would flow
more rapidly. The present average of
speaking in the United States senate is
about 100 words per minute, though
there are several speakers who utter
over 200. Among the fastest speakers
at present are Senators Beck, Hawley,
Plumb and Morgan. Beck loads the
list. Senator George of Mississippi is
perhaps the slowest. Some of them are
very careful about their revision, and
others pay no attention to them
after they are once spoken. Senator
Edmunds never revises a speech,
but some of the other
senators look the manuscript carefully
over before it goes to the press. One
night l heard John Bell of Tennessee
make speech when the president of the
senate, himself and 1 were the only
ones in the chamber. 1t was long
night session and all the rest of the SEN
ators were loafing either in the cloak
rooms or in the restaurant. Bell never.
theless roared out his speech with all
the eloquence and earnestness ofa reviv,
alist preacher: The perspiration rolled
down his face, lie tore off his collar and
preached away as though $4,000 people
were listening to him. Yes, there have
been many funny speeches here, but that
was one of the funniest. One of the fast
est speakers of the senate was Mr. Sar-
gent, our late minister to Berlin. He
could speak for two hours averaging
200 words minute. There was a de-
bate here some year ago on the District
of Columbia bonds which lasted about
four hours, and which by actual calcu-
lation averaged between 1872 and 200
words minute.

Tar Smoke for Diphtheria-
From the New York Times.

From the New YORK lines.
Ruth Lockwood, the 9-year old child
of Thomas Lockwood, a compositor il
the Times Office, became violently i'll
with diphtheria Oh Tuesday night.
She was SO weak that it was deemed
dangerous to try tracheotomy, or cutting
open the windpipe. On Thursday DIR.
Nichols of III West Washington place,
who was attending her, received copy
of the Paris Figaro, which contained a
report made to the French academy of
medicine by DIR: Delthil, DR., Delthil
said that the vapors of liquid tar and
turpentine would dissolve the fbrinous
exudations which choke up the throat
in Group and diphtheria.
DIR. Delthil's process was described.
He pours equal parts of turpentine and
liquid tar into tin pan or cup and sets
fire to the mixture. A dense resinous
smoke arises, which obscures the air of
the room.
"The patient DIR. Delthil says, "im-
mediately seems to experience relief,
the choking and rattle stop; the patient
falls into slumber and seems to inhale
the smoke with pleasure. The tibrinous
membrane soon becomes detached and
the patient coughs up microbicides:
These, when caught in a glass. may be
seen to dissolve in the smoke. In the
course. of three days afterwards the
patient entirely RECEIVERS"
DR.. Nichols tried this treatment yes
terday with little Ruth Lockwood. She
was lying gasping for breath when he
visited her. First pouring about two
tablespoonful of liquifed tar on an
iron pan, he poured as much turpen-
tine over it and Set it on fire. The rich
resinous smoke which rose to the cell
ing was by no means unpleasant. As
it filed the room the child's breathing
became natural, and as the smoke grew
dense she fell asleep.
