TIE SINS OF LEGISLATORS.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer, who writes as
we'll and strongly on politics as he
does on theology and philosophy, once
said, at the beginning of an article on
the "Sins Of Legislators, that, Be it or
be it not true that man is shapen in in
equity and conceived in sin, it is un-
questionably true that Government is
begotten Of aggression and by aggres-
SION"
Without entering into discussion
Of the many remarkable yet logical
statements contained in the thesis, it
is at least timely, at this period in the
Hawaiian Government, to place be-
fore the people the suggestive corollary
Of Mr.. Spencer's argument, which may
be stated as follows AS Government
before them, so are all civil reforms
and political revolutions begotten
through and by aggression-the ag
gression of rulers and Of pernicious
political systems.
To sum up the sins of Legislators
meets no end for public good unless it
awakens the people to an elimination
of these political abuses. To argue
abstractly on the question and end the
matter by showing the reasonableness
of your premises, that Government is
begotton of aggression as reform is the
ultimate result ofthe same condition,
is to quit the fight at the point where
it ought to be kept up with the ut
most vigor. Trespasses and revenges
for trespasses account for many of the
facts of history, but they enter in no
way into the discussion of future poll
tical policy, save perhaps, as illustra-
tions Of experience. The "why p is
not a question of the future; the ques-
ton of tomorrow is the "what" At
the same time schedule of the sins of
legislators would not be useless, inso-
far as'it could be used by the people as
foil to expose the defense which the
accused would naturally set up.
1t would be we'll for the people OF
every Kingdom to investigate the con-
duct of their legislators after every
official sitting. In such an investiga-
ton the people should not lose sight Of
the fact that the sins of Legislators
are, not only resultant from personal
ambitions and party interests, but also
from the ignorance. of those represent
atives who are both morally and politi-
cally bound to prepare themselves for
the trusts they assume to direct.
Now comes the application of the
above remarks to the Kingdom of
Hawaii The Sins of Hawaiian Legis-
lators are very grievous for the reason
that they are the joint result of per-
sonal ambition and native ignorance.
The leading citizens of the Kingdom,
who represent the bulk of Hawaiian
wealth, have already been virtually
forced, by the misdeeds of Hawaiian
Legislators, to place themselves in
political opposition to the Government
which endorses this misrepresentation
of the people at large
If there is to be no redress for the
people at the poles, then the men who
hold the great vested interests of the
country would be justified in using the
nations credit as we'll as the influence
of their organized wealth to force the
Rulers to redress the wrongs that have
been committed against the people
through the Sins of Legislators.

At last the people Of Hawaii, and
especially the workingmen, are waking
up to the fact that Chinese immigra-
ton is running the chances of white
labor. AT last the local papers are be-
ginning to take stand against the
positions taken by organized capital.
At last the laboring portion of the
Kingdom is forcing the Government
and the Planters to define their posi-
tions. In every case the honor and
worth of the white laboring classes will
be upheld by the PRESS.

ran at a fearful rate to J. L. Devilbiss' mill,
where it was captured. All parties were

From the Shenandoah Valley.

WOODSTOCK, May 5, 1885.
MEssRs EDITORS: Thinking few lines in
regard the crops in this section might be
interesting to the many farmer readers of the
ADVOCATE, can tell them that although they
of Carroll complain that their wheat crop is
looking so badly, they have no cause to be
dissatisfied The wheat in Shenandoah co.
is nothing to compare with the wheat in Car
roll I have seen fields that wont make
three bushels per acre, but have seen few
fields looking looking tolerably fair. hear
that farther up the Valley the wheat is looking
still worse.
Farmers here are preparing to plant corn !;
some have planted. | see here peas, beans,
beets and other vegetables looking well.
Grass is good and there is good prospect for
fruit.
Merchants complain of dull times.
This is the home of Senator Riddleberger
He has splendid house and Surroundings.
He is considered smart, but as Woodstock is
strongly Democratic, political sentiment is
against him. Hope to be in Carroll again in
few days. }. W. N.

Our preparations for the spring and summer
of 1885 surpass all previous efforts for the
accommodation of our very large trade. just
received from New York and Philadelphia
manufacturers and headquarters piles of New
Goods at New Prices. Having bought our
goods in large lots for cash, we will sell them
in many instances lower than the same goods
can be bought elsewhere. There being a
break in prices Of Dress Goods, we can sell
these goods from to 10 cents per yard lower
than the same goods could be bought month
ago. We mean to do business; we shall always
have what the people want at the peoples
prices. Big prices will not do in these hard
times, for no one can afford to waste their
money. 1t shall be our aim to give you every
dollars worth every time, for if there is virtue
in good goods at low prices we mean to be
masters of the situation-the live pioneers
who dive down to rock bottom. 1t will be
impossible for us to give you quotations, but
when you visit our store we will give you
prices that are stern and stubborn facts, that
will level your head on genuine bargains.

The German at one RINK.

The skating rink was scene of brilliancy
on Wednesday night-a real carnival OF
beauty 1t was the occasion of the german
on skates, and the gaily costumed dancers,
ored lights, flags, shields, nc, made a gaudy
and brilliant spectacle. 10 this was added
the sweet strains of the Westminster Band /,
that excelled itself on the occasion.
1t was the first attempt made anywhere to
give the german on skates, and the novelty of
the entertainment attracted large number to
witness it. It's successful accomplishment
without fault showed thorough training of
the skaters by Mr.. L. L. Billingslea, the
manager and leader, was credit to the par
Elephants, while the audience looked on with
delightful satisfaction.
The ladies were divided into four divisions,
and wore white, red, pink and blue bodices,
with white skirts, while the gentlemen wore
dark suits Tsome in full dressl with colored
sashes to correspond with the colors of their
partners.
Preliminary to the german, to inspiriting
music by the band, there was a grand march
march in file, march in column, march by
platoon, serpentine march and the whirling
wheel-all well performed, and presenting
beautiful scene. Then came the german
The Captives Released, The Star and Circle,

The Tarlatans, Tarlatan Cone and The May

were given excited admiration, and the ever
changing scenes and the intermingling of the
gay colors of the costumes of the skaters,
made grand spectacle, the effect of which
was heightened by colored lights set at con-
venient places. No entertainment given here
for some time was so enjoyable.
