ONE KIND OF PoLTcY.

The policy Of the Present Admins
tration seems to be to avoid discussion
of all the live issues of the day.. No
one denies the shrewdness Of the policy.
tits dictated by the political hand
which is pushing the King onward to-
ward the brink of rain. 1t is useless
to affirm that the Administration has
the backing of the entire native popu-
lation it has not, 1t has not even
the backing of the lepers on Molokai,
as the Government organ has at
tempted to make it appear. To over
ride public opinion and procrastinste
with the native voters seems to be the
sole object Of the Kings dummy
Government" Worse than this, the
Government not cnly attempts no de-
fense of their different nefarious actions,
but the leaders have pushed the King
forward through the native papers,
where his high position and word are
used to convince the native voters that
the present Administration is in no
way responsible for the importation Of
cheap labor into this Kingdom, but
that the natives enemies, the Oppo-
sition," are responsible for it all. The
public feel truly thankful for the adj
mission contained in the excuse, viz :
that the importation of Chinese is
mistake. Viewing this new movement
to prejudice the native against the
haole, the public will pity the weakness
OF the King and re condemn the course
Of the Administration. II the present
Administration had leg to stand
upon besides the will Of one man, it
would be different : as it is the King
is running the country he is not strong
enough to rule properly.

A Pretty Story.

A very tough story which is
vouched for, after Il fashion, is go
ing the rounds and given for what
it is worth. 1t is related that a Mr..
S-M- was sitting in his back
yard talking to some friends, when
his attention was called to a hen
with a brood of Young chickens
with the prospect of Il meal lnview
AS the rat came from its hole the
house cat awOke from her after
noon nap and caught sight Of the
rat. Crouching low, she waited de-
velopmentS, and stood prepared to
spring upon his ratshjp. At the
appearance of his ancient enemy,
the cat, the Scotch terrier, which
had been summing itSelfin the wood
shed, prlcked up it's ears and quiet
ly made for the place where the
cat stood. At this moment - boy
came upon the scene.
The chickens were not cOgnizant OF
being watched by the rat, nor did
the rat see the cat. nor the feline
the dog, who had not noticed the
coming of the boy. A little chick
wandered too nigh and he was
seized by the rat, which was III
turn pounced upon by the cat, and
the cat was caught in the mouth by
the dog. The rat would not cease
his hold upon the chicken. and the
cat, in spite Of the shaking she was
getting from the dog, did not let
60 the rat. 1t was fun for the boy,
and in high glee he watched the
contest and the struggle of the vic
tins. 1t seemed to him that the rat
was about to escape after time,
and getting stone he hurled it at
the rodant. The aim was not good
and the stone struck the dog right
between the eyes. The terrier re-
leased its grip on the cat and fell
over dead. Ithad breatlled its last
before the cat in turn let go the rat,
and turned over and died. The rat
did not long survive the enemy,and
beside the already dead chicken he
land himself down and gave up the
ghost. The owner of the dog was
so angry at his death that he issaid
to have come uearmaking the story
complete by killing the boy that
killed the dog that shook the cat
that caught the rat that bit the
chicken in the yard on-street.-

he desires to say, but relies upon
the speech writer to polish it up
and fix it into the proper shape for
delivery. Many members ofknown
ability found thisa very convenient
method OF getting rid OF a great
deal of drudgery. You see, they
know that they are just as able to
write their own speeches as Carter
is, but they find it so much easier
to engage him to do the work-un-
der their direction, of courSe-that
they are unable to resist. 1t often
happens that Il member of congress
becomes pressed for time, and finds
it absolutely impossible to indite
the speech which his constituency
Will expect from him OH the floor.

Drinking Habits Changing.

AS a proof of the great change
in The drinking habits of the peo-
pie it is shown by official statistics
that the consumption of ardent
spirits in the country ihs,t the first
decade of this century averaged
four and half gallons annually to
each head OF the population. The
consumption of spirits for drink
has gradually declined from that
time, until now it does not much
exceed one gallon annually for each
inhabitant. The total amount Of
spirits produced in the country and
imported for consumption in 1860
was 9S,96S,G5l gallons. From this
must be deducted an export Of g.
6O4,OS7 gallons, which leaves S.
364,5G4 gallons for domestic con.
sumption. Ii 25,CG0,OO gallons be
deducted for the use In the arts
and manufactures, there renamed
G1.364, 564 gallons for consumption
for drink. In 1884 the total amount
Of liquors retained for domestic
consumption and imported was
GS,SO7,4 Ala gallons. If twelve per
cent. Of this be deducted for the
arts amt manufactures, 60,555.6O5
gallons remain for drink. In other
words, 81, 443, 321 inhabitants of the
United States consumed in 1850
more spirits for drink than $1,000,
900 inhabitants consumed for drink
in 1854. While the consumption
of whisky is steadily declining, the
use of beer and light wines is in
