New Orleans is nice place. New
Orleans has big show on hand which
the Government is asked to help pay
for. 1t seems that the city is fond of
shows, and perhaps this fondness for
shows, and the high moral sentiment
thereby cultivated, is the city's rec
ommendation to public aid. As a
sample of the style of shows tolerated
in the Crescent City, we may mention
the fight between two bulldogs, which
occurred there one day last week. One
of these dogs was from the good city
of Cincinnati, the other from Pitts
burgh. They fought one hour and
twenty-five minutes. The Cincinnati
dog-if we remember correctly-was
killed, while the Pittsburgh dog had
his under-jaw torn away. 1t is said
that five thousand dollars changed
hands" on the result. It does seem
out Of place to send Missionaries away
to plead with respectable heathen,
when we have, right at home, class
of beings who can engage in such
brutal sport as this New Orleans dog
fight. The rather let us take off our
hats to the heather, for their superior
civilization.

In Fairfield Township, Madison
County, there is prosperous neigh
borhood of farmers. There has never
been a doggery permitted in the
neighborhood, and a few days ago a
fellow named Commeaus bought a
house and brought on supply of
whisky and billiard tables, and got
ready to wage his war of destruction
against that community. The farmers
have banded themselves together to
fight him to the bitter end, and a
large sum Of money has been raised,
and detectives employed to make it
lively for the Devils Agent. 1t is not
likely, however, that they will ever
put him out through legal forms, the
main chance is one already tdeod, pa
Of taking upon themselves an obliga-
tion to have no business transactions
with him, nor recognize him in any
way. The trouble about putting down
such nuisance by law lies in the fact
that frequently, where witnesses are
brought up to prove violations Of law
on the part of the Devils Agent, they
will unblushingly perjure themselves
rather than get him into trouble. The
destroying Of all conscientious scru-
Piles on the part Of his victim is part
of the work Of the doggery-keeper,
and it is very hard to convict him,
from the fact that the testimony must
largely come from those who attend
his den 1t is to be hoped that these
farmers will succeed in running this
fellow out of their township.

War of Salvation!

holding forth at New ark, Ohio. On
last Monday night, while the services

compelled to release the prisoner. If
the Salvation Army" was as good at
whipping the Devil out as it is at

accomplished in this way. From all

of rows and rioting, attendant upon

had been struck.
Mrs. Nunnemaker testified that she
lived in part Of the house in which
Price lived. She heard Price tell his
wife he would kill her, and then she
saw Mrs. Price with blood running
down her face. DIR. Drake testified as
to the character and extent of the
wound.
The defendant took the witness
stand, and admitted that he had struck
his wife, and that he had been drink
ing.
The Judge said this was the same
old story-whisky. It caused nearly
all these troubles He commented
with severity upon the enormity Of
the offense. Here was a young,
healthy man, who struck the wife of
his bosom, when she held in her arms
her and his babe. He disfgured her
for life-leaving a scar which will re-
main until her death. In Pennsylva-
mia there is talk of enacting law to
subject wife whippers to the whipping
post, giving them dose of their own
medicine In Ohio a person can be
fined as high as $4,000, and sent to
Jail for six months, for assault and
battery, and he would sentence defend
ant to pay fine of $4,000 and costs,
and be confined in Jail for 80 days.

The defense was that part of the build

charged the jury that if the county
line ran through the room, defendant
could be tried in either county. The
jury returned verdict Of guilty. The
Judge said he could fine defendant not
more than one hundred dollars nor
less than fifty dollars, or send him to
Jail not more than thirty days nor less
than ten days, or both. He would as
sess the lowest penalty, fifty dollars.

The u. S. House Of Representatives
seems to have attained about the same
amount Of dignity to be found in a
minstrel show. One day last week,
while White, of Kentucky, was speak
ing, the House resolved itself into a
bowling, hooting mob, the members
calling one another liars, and various
other pet names. The galleries Joined
in the noise and fun, and for an hour
or more there was perfect circus. 1t
does seem that craftsmanship in this
country-especially Democratic states
manship-is coming to be subject
for ridicule and contempt. Eminent
statesmen who have been honored by
their constituents with positions re-
quirlng some display of dignity, at
least, will act in a manner which
would call down vigorous spanking
on the smallest school-boy. Truly,
this is a great country for great

Neal Respited.

William Neal, the alleged Ashland
murderer, was to have been hung on
last Friday, but Governor Hindman
granted him respite until March
9th. There seems to have been a
great reaction in public sentiment
with regard to Neal. For our own
part, we never believed there was a
shadow of guilt attaching to either
Craft or Neal. The main evidence
brought against them was the ''con-
fession" of a half-idiot named George
Ellis, in which he claimed that while
he was sleeping the sleep of the inno-
cent, at home, these two men came to
his house, and with drawn revolvers
compelled him to go as an involun-
tary witness to their horrible crime.
They compelled him to go into the
house with them, and watch all the
details of their horrible crimes. Here
were three great crimes-outrage.
murder and arson-all perpetrated in
one evening, and the guilty parties
going out of the way to compel a
simple fellow to witness them, then
letting him go afterward. Is there a
man living who is willing to say that
he believes any such consummate
idiocy as that?
But there had been a great crime
committed, and the mob which had
collected must wreak its vengeance
on somebody. Had the people caught
the father of Fanny Gibbons that
morning, they would have Iynched
him. Ellis was finally hung by
mob, and several demonstrations were
made against Neal and Craft, and the
militia had to to be called out to pro-
tect them while being tried, They
were of course, under such circum-
stances, convicted, and Craft was
hung. protesting his innocence to the
last. So wild was the feeling again t
these men that boat conveying
them down the river was fired on by
a mob, and the soldiers were COM
PEELED to return the fire. This only
tended to increase the wild hate of
the mob for the prisoners. No stone
was left unturned in working up
prejudice against these men, and all
of their possible inno-
cence were met with contempt. Not
withstanding all this, there is a wide
spread feeling that in Crafts death an
innocent man was hung, and that the
horrible crime came near being re-
peated by the hanging of Neal. HUI
manity is speaking at last, and great
pressure is being brought to bear upon
the Governor to save Meals life. The
confession" of George Ellis in the
first place was scared out of him by
an officer. There has been evident all
through the experience Of these men
since their arrest an undue anxiety to
get them on the gallows. We trust |
that the Governor Of Kentucky will
nave the nerve to save the life Of
Neal, and thus prevent the
adding Of another chapter to this hor-
rible story.

AN INrEREsrISe ARTICLE.

We publish in to-day's issue very
interesting and instructive article on
Pahala from the pen of Mr. B. F. Dill
lingham, one Of the promoters Of the
scheme to form a Company to be
known as the Hawaiian Colonization
Land and Trust Company, for the pur-
pose of colonization and bringing un-
der cultivation three OF the largest
ranches on the Island Of Oahu. Mr..
Dillingham; has taken~a deep interest
in developing the material resources
and wealth Of the Islands, and he has
lately made trip of observation and
investigation to Pahala plantation,
Hawaii, one of the best known sugar
plantations on the Islgnd. The short
history, given by Mr.. Dillingham;, of a
great work accomplished and the practi-
cal facts and figures which the article
contains will amply repay careful
perusal.

promise Of success in this undertaken.
This ranch supplies all the working
cattle required upon the plantation as
well as the beef Sthe consumption of

per day.
DISCIPLINE.
We havesheard it rumored, that the
present manager at Pahala is a hard
man exercising his authority in manner
which called for investigation by those
in authority. l feel, however, con-
strained to say that friends of MIR.
Foster we're slow to believe in the de-
velopment ofany new traits of character
at this stage Of his life, especially of a
kind SO wholly inconsiststant with his
nature. Justice to this gentleman de-
mands few words Of truth, which |
feel competantto assert without fear or
favor.
All the trouble which had led to the
false accusations against Mr.. Foster
came out of the simple fact, that his
idea of the duty Of manager of plan
tation, implied a responsibility both
legal and moral, to those who sold
their time and service under voluntary
contract, as will as 10 those whose
financial interests had been
placed in his keeping that he and
not any other man, Portuguese,
Chinese, Negro, or South sea Islanders
would be looked to for anticipated
results. Mr.. Foster is known to many
Of our best citizens as kind indulgent
father of children who do him all honor,
but fhey we're trained to walk in the path
of obedience Nothing more has this gen.
tleman required Of any man under his
charge. This lesson has now been taught
to every one Of the gas men now on tina,
plantation, and the results are satistact
oy in every particular. The planta
ton is financial success, and every
department is conducted with quie,
orderly mechanical precision, which i.
a comfort to both governor anc

A SHORT HISTORY.

Among the gigantic enterprises
which had their burth at the consum-
nation of the Treaty Of the Reciprocity
between this Kingdom and the United
States of America, notible mention
should be made of a Company which
was Incorporated in 1877 under the
name Of the Hawaiian Agricultural
Company (imited) This Company
chose for its locality or base of opera
tions, site at Pahala, situated on the
southeast side Of the Island of Hawaii.
In due time the mill and other ne
cessary buildings were erected, FIVE
miles from Punaluu Landing, at an
elevation of 800 feet above the sea
level The site commanded a wide
range of focean, and an extensive view of
the surrounding country. The tract
extended twenty-five miles along the
shore by fifteen miles inland, reaching
into the mountains form the boundaries
of the magnificent extent of territory
taken up by this Company. The va
riety of climate and temperature to be
found upon this domain will doubtless
surprise some of our Island people,
when told that one may swelter under
the rays of a tropical sun at the lower
attitudes, while at the highest point the
searching winds that kiss the snow clad
mountain peaks, would make one
shake with the chill of their icy breath.
The first acre of virgin soil on this
plantation was broken in 1877. A
mill second in size only to one ever
built in the history OF the world, com
plete with building, frame and all
covered with iron, was landed at Puma
luu, in 1878. Hundreds OF acres Of
land had been plowed and planted.with
cane at an aggregate cost of an amount
sufficient to yield more than Princely
.incone, when the outlook from long
continued drought, seemed SO strongly
10 betoken utter failure, that it was pro-
posed by those who had been most
sangume among the promoter of the
enterprise to abandon the undertaking,
without even erecting the ponderous
mill which was now lying in heap at
the landing A delegation Of experts
appointed by the Company at Homo
lulu took passage to the scene of dis
