eye-sight failing Mrs. Fairbanks went
to St. Paul to consult an occulist. and
while there, at that time, the fatal truth
was made known to her, that she was a
victim to Bright's disease.
Hoping however, against hope, that
the progress of this lnsidious disease
might be stayed for time, she did not
give up until last June, when second
consultation forced upon her the realiza-
ton of the fact that but few months at
best was all of her allotted time. After
this there seemed to be NO more doubt in
her mind that the end was very near, and
she began to make ready her house for
the closing scene. 10 her life was sweet
and very bright. Husband was loved
by her with true wife's devotion. She
was the fond and loving mother Of three
sons, John. Fred and Carl She was the
trusted sympathizing frieud-and her be-
loved profession opened up to her a
wide field, rich in experiences in which
she delighted, and with = past life Of
unusually good health, no wonder the
struggle was . bitter one, when she first
knew that she must give up all. Yet calm
", patiently, she endured al with the cheer
full resignation of the true Christian,
saying, Il have strength not my own,
not my own" Sunday. when all thought
her dying, she opened her eyes. and see
ing dimly their forms about her bedside,
she SAID, I'VE are all together now. Let
US begin to live for our Heavenly Father
as one, IN unison. l ask it all for Jesus
sake"
Funeral services Of Mrs. Fairbanks were
conducted at her late residence by Rev.
W. E. Stanley. Friday afternoon, and
were largely attended by friends from
all parts of the county. She was Z
woman of many excellent traits of char
acter. enteprising. and warmly attached

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Female suffrage is making Roadway
in England, where women are grad
ually coming to the front and taking
part in public affairs. It is well
known that women have occupied
important positions on the London
School Board, and we find by recent
English exchanges that two ladies,
named Haycraft and Bigg, were
elected as guardians for Brighton,
standing seventh and eighth on the
poll out of thirty-eight candidates.
There is no reason why women
should not be entrusted, equally with
men, to supervise charitable and edu-
cational institutions. On the con-
trary, there are many cogent reasons
why this should be the case. A great
many abuses which creep into the
management offs institutions under
an exclusive control by either sex,
would be eliminated were the govern
ing bodies composed of fair repre-
sentation of both sexes.
1t is needless to say that female
suffrage in Washington Territory has
been productive of the best possible
results. The ladies proved themselves
to be clever political managers. In
short, at the last election, they got
away with the old-style politicians,
and laid the foundation for great
many needfuI social reforms. And
now come the women of Woburn,
Massachusetts,, who registered and
voted, to the number of nearly 300, at
the recent election, thereby breaking
up a political partisan ring in the
school board of that town. This
shows that women will vote, and vote
right, when given anything to vote
for.

THE SILK WORM CRAZE.

a weekly contemporary, speaking
of an exhibition of insect industry in
Wiseman's window, says: "Quite an
interest is exhibited by many people
in the working of the worms"
Doubtless but if many people"
would take half as much interest in
working on their own account as they
do in watching something else, there
would soon be an end Of ''dull times"
AS an example of what may be &C
complished by patient and ceaseless
industry, the silk worm exhibit is
well though, but if anybody thinks
he can sit around and let silk worms
spin him living in this kingdom, he
will get badly fooled. A dozen lay
ing hens will yield larger and more
certain income, and with far less
trouble, than a big colony of silk
worms. Miss Rossiter makes money
out of her publications and worms,
because she has had the shrewdness
to advertise and push it as a special
business enterprise but we have not
heard of anyone else in the United
States who has been so fortunate, al
though a good deal of silk has been
produced. There is only one Nellie
Rossiter, and she lives in Pennsyl-
vania where most people have to
scratch for a living"

THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF 1T.

The Saturday Press, which is pub
lished apparently for the purpose of
attacking Colonel Spreckels, and
spreading false reports abroad re-
garding the administration of affairs
on these islands, has the following
misleading and mischievous state
ment in its last issue:
The high price of sugar on the Pacific
Coast-as compared with the price in the
Eastern United States-has been the strong
est argument against the continuation of
our Reciprocity Treaty. This high price has
been maintained without corresponding gain
to the planters or sugar factors of these
islands. The prices obtained by US have
been ont of all fair proportion to the profits
obtained by Mr.. Spreckels-especially dur
ing Nashville the result of the high prices
obtained for the sugars of his refneries has
been to prejudice thousands against the
treaty as sonly another factor in the mon
opoly that has helped to impoverish the
people OF the Pacific Coast to enrich Claus
spreckels'' In other words we have had
the name and Mr.. Spreckels has had the
game.
Tt will be noted that the Press
adopts as its own the argument
against the treaty, based upon the
high price of sugar in San Francisco
as compared with the price in the
Eastern States of the Union. Fur
thermOre, it accuses Colonel Spreckels
with deliberately cheating the Ha-
waiian planters. Now, let us hear
what the organ of the Hawaiian
same subject. In an article on The
Effect of the Treaty upon the Price of
Sugar in San Francisco, the Planters
Monthly for May says
One of the staple arguments which the
opponents Of the Reciprocity Treaty have
constantly harped upon and gloated over as
q cliRcher, was the fact that the price of
sugar in San Francisco has not been lessened
by the operation of the Treaty. The fact
that the price of sugar is entirely indie
pendent of the Treaty and is controlled by
totally different causes, makes no differ
ence; the point was too good one to lose,
especially as the fact that sugar was higher
in San Francisco than in New York was one
which came home to the consumer and was
appreciated by him to greater degree than
any other point which could be raised. That
the price of sugar in San Francisco is en-
tirely independent of the Treaty has been
repeatedly shown, and the sugar refinery
war which is now being carried on between
the California and the American Sugar Re-
fneries is practically demonstrating the |
fact. at the risk of repeating that which is |
we'll known to most of our readers, we feel
that the situation warrants a little repeti- |
ton, as the result so clearly shows the cor
rectness of the claims heretofore made by |
the supporters of the Treaty.
In the first place, the Treaty does not |
affect the price of sugar in San Francisco, !
because the amount of sugar produced by |
the Islands does not constitute a sufficient |
proportion of the amount of sugar consumed
TO control the price. The adj
vantage gained by the remission of duties
Il fair commercial advantage, of which the

THE Gazette is the Rip Van Wrinkle
of Hawaiian newspapers. 1t stated
yesterday that it's two daily con-
temporaries were "fighting out, to
the bitter end, the question of NUM-
cipal government for Honolulu"
when in point of fact that question
had been finally disposed of by them
for so long period as to have passed
out of memory. That, however, is
only equalled by its enterprise in pub
fishing the news by the Zealandia
some 16S hours after it appeared else
where. The Gazette is valuable to
antiquarians, which is presumably
the reason why the Supreme Court
selects 1t as the official medium for
preserving its decisions from utter
Oblivion.

Some of the independent Republican
prints are evidently trying to 'get up

tsry OF the Treasury. Pack, though Away

chan ces are as one thousand to one that Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Manning are in entire
