COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Australasian colonies are now
beginning to realize the cOstliness of
the Imperial connection. When the
ttManchester school" of politicians
became paramount in English affairs,
some twenty years ago, the cry was
to abandon the colonies as they were
a source of expense to the mother
country. Mr.. Goodwin Smith was
the prophet of this school, and Glad
stone, Bright g. Co. carried his crazy
ideas into the domain of practical
politics. The troops were withdrawn
from New Zealand during life-and-
death struggle with the Maoris, which
the Imperial Government, through
its representative began, the Home
Government refusing even to bear a
share of the war expenditure, or to
guarantee a war loan. The colony
was told, in SO many words, that if it
did not like this treatment it might
go it's own way alone. But New
Zealand was more loyal to the Crown
and Empire than the Liberal Minis
try of that day, and it managed to
pull through at the cost of a great
sacrifice in men and money. Con-
currently with this order in respect
of New Zealand came an order with
drawing the garrisons from all Aus
tralian towns. The ''self-reliant
policy" was inaugurated, and the
Colonies were required to provide for
their own defense.
This they have done right loyalty,
and besides doing so, they have sent
valuable contingent to the Soudan
war, with permission to the Crown to
use the Australian troops wherever
they might be needed. The Colonies
have likewise created a formidable
naval force, including torpedo boats !;
they have fortified the chief harbOrs,
and are still strengthening their de-
lenses at all weak points. It does
seem just little hard, however, that
all this expenditure should be gone
to, and all this risk incurred, to sus-
tain policy in the shaping OF whic
they have had no voice, and the out
come of which can profit them moth
ing. AS a specimen of pure patriot
ism, the action of the Australasian
self-governing colonies, in the present
crisis of Imperial affairs, is without a
parallel in the worlds history. AS
independent States, they would have
nothing to apprehend from any war
in which England might engage; as
dependencies of the British Crown
they are exposed to all the viGissi-
tudes of war. without sharing in the
emoluments or glory.
We trust these considerations will
hereafter ensure for the Colonies more
considerate treatment by the Colonial
Office. "Mrs. Mother Country" is
apt to be little inattentiYe to the
wants of her sturdy offspring in the
South Pacific, but these late proofs of
their love for the old home, and their
jealousy for the honor and fame of
the British Empire, should induce
the red tapists of Downing street to
seek to please rather than offend
Colonial statesmen.

chise, determined by both property
and educational tests ?" Nay more,
that it further demanded on it's own
behalf that there should be nothing
else in the shape of a franchise ac-
cepted from the Legislature. We do
not think our evening contemporary
quite fool, but if it be a witness of
truth in this instance, it's mental
condition should be attended to with
out delay.
However this may be, the Bulletin
certainly is disingenuous. In its
initial article, when stating the pro-
gramme to be fought for, it said
''Such city government as that here
in advocated we can hardly hope to
obtain under anything approaching
rabble suffrage. The franchise aUouEd
have to be made high, determined
By both property and educational
tests" The working classes, small
property owners and native Hawaii
ans do not come in anywhere in
this scheme; but yesterday, when we
pinned it down to its own exact
words, It said in reply: Perhaps the
ADVERTISERS is not aware of the fact
that it ISLANDERS the larger portion of
the wOrkingmen of Honolulu by con-
tending that a property qualification
would disenfranchise them. It weuId
find upon little investigation that
such is the case, and that it's self
constituted apostleship of popular
liberties is the most thankless func-
ton it has ever usurped." This is at
once jesuitical and disingenuous.
We have commended from the start
that the intelligent working classes
whether they own property or not,
should exercise the franchise; but the
Bulletin insists that "the principal
property holders and more intelligent
classes" should "demand" an eX-
elusive franchise for themselves and
discountenance "anything approach
ing to a rabble suffrage"
I Let our contemporary honestly con-
fess that it was made tool of by de-
signing men. instead of standing by
the originality of scheme which is
at once impracticable and absurd.

THE FRANCHISE FIzzLE.

The Bulletin has crawled into its
hole on the franchise question, and
vainly tries to draw the hole in after
it. We quoted from its initial article
on civic government the only form
of franchise, which "the principal
property holders and the more intel
Iigent classes - were determined
should be accorded to this city. We
likewise quoted it's declaration to the
effect that the principal property
holders and more intelligent classes"
aforesaid should resolve to compel
the Legislature to grant them this
franchise and none other. The bold
idea could never have originated in
our little contemporaries brain, and
we were perfectly warranted there
fore in assuming, as we still do, and
as every intelligent person must do,
that it was a scheme Matched by local
politicians to disfranchise the ma
tives and reputable working classes,
and at the same time concentrate all
power in their own hands. For what
was the plan? We quote again from
our little contempary "A civic or
ganization is demanded which shall
represent the intelligence and wealth
of the city," etc. BY whom de-
manded? BY the BuUetins Absurd.
Tt does not represent the social ele-
ments which it pushes to the front.
If it did, it would not give them
away so badly but it represents
clique of active politicians who seek
through its columns to fasten them
selves upon the skirts of respectability
and intelligence, and under that
cover carry out their designs. This
is self evident. 1t may be read be-
tween every line of the Bulletins
article.
But having been found out and ex-
posed, our contemporary loses its
temper, and so renders the exposure
more complete. What could be more
absurd than expecting the intelligent
people of Honolulu to believe that
the Bulletin thought out this oil
garchic form of civic government for
itself; that it demanded on its own
behalf that the principal property
holders and the more intelligent
classes should unite" and compel the
Legislature to create ga high fran

Criminal Carelessness in a
Pennsylvania Mine.
THE FATAL SULPHUR FUMES.
4 Disaster that stands Alone and
Unprecedented in the History
of Mining.
Gas Explosion.

WIIKEsBARRE, Pa, August 11.-Infor-
nation has just reached here that ter
rible explosion of gas took place in the
West End Coal Company's mines this
morning at Mocanaqua, fifteen miles
from here. As far as can be learned ten
miners were instantly killed and several
others dangerously injured
Further intelligence of the disaster
says the fan engine that supplies the
fresh air to the West End mine at Mo-
canaqua, broke, depriving the mine OF
air. Four men have been brought to
the surface dead and four or five more
are yet in the mine and cannot be
reached, owing to impure air.
Just before the night shift went off
duty the fan broke. The boss knew this
and so did the men of the day shift
before they entered the mines, but not
withstanding this they went into the
mine. taking great risk. There were
about thirty men in all. who were sup
piled with safety lamps. as it was well
known that gas would accumulate.
About seventy-fve men were in the
mine at the time when work began.
The workmen repairing the fan were
the first who were overcome with the
gas, and in about an hour later the
same fate happened to many more
in the mine. Before the men fairly re-
allied the danger more than twenty
were unconscious. Those who could
then escape did so. Superintendent
John Teasdale and several of his men
became unconscious and were with
difficulty rescued Others went down
and in the face of immense difficulties
and in spite of being continually over
powered by gas, got out all but ten men.
Three of those brought out were dead
and the other six are beyond doubt
dead.
The boss at the time says he notified
the men before they entered the mine
that the fan had stopped, that it was
not safe for them to enter as the mine
was filling with gas. This is denied by
the miners and laborers. who, on the
contrary, say that he told them to
go to work; that the fan was broken but
would be repaired and put in
working order in an hour. When they
entered the mine, everything appeared
to be all right until they began to smell
the fatal air and sulphur fumes. Before
they could get out, many were over
come and suffocated. The disaster is
considered in its nature and stands
alone and unprecedented in the history
of mining. 1t could easily have been
foreseen and prevented, but being one
of those singular. oversights, the cause
of disaster escaped notice. The death
roll is twelve.
