Mr.. Sam Parker, the representative
of the Sandwich Islands to the New
Orleans Exposition, says the business
of the islands is almost wholly in the
hands of Americans, and that Portu-
gese laborers have to be imported yearly
to supply the place of natives, who are
rapidly becoming extinct. Ever since
this once happy and prosperous people
partook of Capt. Cook, la iardeniere,
they have been dwindling away, until
now they are mere handful of what
they were. Those old-time sea-captains,
like the modern clearinghouse spring
chicken, were terror to the digestive
organs and no mistake

men working in the Homestake mine,
on Homestake mountain on Eagle river.

J Another dynamite explosion in a
London government building the adj
miralty office-occurre on Thursday
last, with the customary amount of
damage. O'Donovan Rosa claims it
was the work of the invincibles, and
that he knew all about it for some time
previous. Rosa is, without doubt, one
of the greatest-not to put too fine a
point upon it--liars on the Wistern
hemisphere. He probably knows no
more about the London explosions than
do the London detectives.

The war in the Northwest Territory
against Riel, as shown in the first battle
which occurred last week, is to be one
of civilized versus semi-sayage warfare,
and the result cannot be regarded as
complimentary to superior intelli-
gence." The accurate aim of the skilled
marksmen of the unIniformed half
breeds was biting sarcasm on the
feathers and furbelows of the Canadian
handbook boys.

forcetul and picturesque.

The situation was such, the other day,
that had Sittig voted it is believed a

Milton Weston, a Chicago millionaire,
has been convicted of riot at Pittsburg,
Pa, and sentenced to five years in the
state penitentiary. People will natur-

it is easily explained. Weston was
really guilty of murder.

A Whole Village in Mourning.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, April 26.-The
frightful epidemic prevailing at Plym-
outh has practically stopped all business
in that town, except at the drug stores
and undertaking establishments. Six
deaths from typhoid malarial fever have
taken place since yesterday, and nine
funerals were held to-day. The whole
town appears to be in mourning. The
cause seems to be the use of impure
water.

Capt. Thomas Phelan, the complain
ant against Short, who attempted to
assassinate him in Rossa's office, disap-
pointed the Irishmen of the radical dy-
Mantle school by returning east to pros
ecute the case. Since leaving Kansas
City in company with three detectives,
who are bis companions and guards, he
has been Swallowed by two men who are
evidently watching his movements. In
stead of going to New York, Phelan
and his companions went to Jersey City
where they took quiet lodgings, think
ing they would escape the observation
of these spies; but finding their hiding
place had been discovered they commu-
nicated with District-Attorney MARITIME,
who sent over two detectives to Jersey
City, escorted by whom Phelan crossed
to New York where he remains practic-
ally under the guard of detectives.
A very important point has been
raised as TO which SIDE the United States
should favor in the event of war between
Russia and England. We trust our
people win give this matter their calm
est judgment before fully making up
their minds. Shall we let our blood
boil over the brutal tyranny of the saw
age czar, or glory in the defeat of the
grasping and avaricious EnglishP Per-
haps, on second thought, it would be
best to deplore the unhappy controversy
which led these two great nations to
engage in an unfortunate war, and if
either of them wants any wheat, pork,
beef or firearms, sell it to them in a
friendly spirit while expressing the hope
that peace May soon come to gladden.

The condition of affairs at Panama is
somewhat mixed. The United States
troops occupied the city on Friday, and
withdrew on Saturday. Violent pro-

settle the coffee pretty soon, some one
will have to go down there with club.

Suppose Gen. Tom Anderson could have
seen a bowling mob numbering his family
and no punishment for the murderers;
would he have risked his life hunting up the
Knights Of the Golden Circle and CHANGING it
in battle, as he did, for his country that the
rebels might control it, and that too, through
the influence of the North, whose all was at
stake, and whose fortunes were saved and pro-
tected by such men as he? doubt if patriot
ism would have gone so far. Can you find me
the patriot to-day that, deep down in his heart,
likes this condition Of things?"
'Yes; but Uncle Daniel, these men are not
rebels now. They are Democrats" said Maj.

now than they were then, and they were no
less Democrats then than they are now. But
