The first thing to think of
about refrigerators. One OF
these two: get, at.ableness to

such a circulation Of air in

daub a refrigerator. We
don't mean that. If the air
is stagnant in it, it fairly
soaks in a soppy fog. Think

We haven't tried the Alas

One of these two is the

there's nothing else OF any
great account.

Have you heard of a break

Nor have we. There isn't

1t is nothing unusual.
Happens every year. AS
soon as trade is fairly started
it totters here and there.
1t isn't trade that totters.
1t isn't the times. 1t isn't

There's an excellent store

EXCITING VOLCANO NEWS.

EDITOR BULLETIN THE fire at
Halemaumau has until now shown a
tendency to fool our eXpections and
we have been somewhat disappointed,
but the old Madam seems now to
think that we have been waiting
long enough and shows real busi-
ness. As you know, it has been
smoking heavier and heavier, steadily
increasing all the time, and it has
been fire for the last month or so,
but not visible unless going right to
the edge of the pit. The fire has
now actually broken out as with a
sudden blow, not only at the pit, but
extending to half of the crater,
where new lava is flowing and burn
ing, so it is now no more fooling
about 1t. Friday night did this en-
couraging change take place, and
the reflection was visible last night
from Punaluu. / will give you
more detailed particulars with next
steamer and remain yours truly.

RETRENCHMENT AGAIN.

Mr.. Gibson's speech on retrench-
ment, delivered in the Legislative
Assembly yesterday afternoon, was
sound, vigorous, and pointed. His
reference to the general eXtrava-
gance of the country, of Govern
ment and people, is an endorsement
of the oft-repeated views of ,his
paper. So strong speech in advo-
cacy of retrenchment, coming from
so powerful source, is hailed by
us with satisfaction. With regard
to the carrying out of the Minister'S
expressed wish, there should be no
difficulty, seeing that he is the head
of a Government supported by n
majority of about two to one. Let
us hear no more fiddle-faddle about
the Opposition running away with
the Appropriation Bill" The Gov
ernment not only have majority in
the house, but in the matter of
retrenchment they have the support
of the Opposition. Although most
heartily approving of the movement
to reduce expenditures, on general
principles, we would again intimate
that it is quite possible to use the
pruning-knife in the wrong place
and spare it in quarters where it
should be welded energetically,
cutting off valuable fruit-producing
branches and letting barren, un-
slightly limbs remain. As express
ed by this mornings advertiser,
retrencbment, "to be truly effective,
should be done intelligently, and
reductions in each case should be
considered with reference to the
value and Importance of the service
rendered" That is, the dictates of
common intelligence and ordinary
business sagacity should be follow
ed, and the necessary and important
services of the country properly
maintained, while useless append
ages are excised. We badly need
roads, bridges, wharves, school
houses, etc., but we can do very
we'll without genealogy board or a
standing army. In fact, we should
feel triAe better and happier if
the money thrown away on them
were judiciously expended for the
good of the taxpayers.

A GREAT SENSATION,

smoke and steam at Kilauea, but
the living, active, seething, bubbling

THE HIL0 PETITION.

A petition was presented to the
Legislature yesterday by Mr.. Ka-
ulukou, from the district of IIilo,
possessing the rare quality of COM
nonsense. Considering that the
assembly is pestered every week
with dray-loads of documents called
petitions, that none but the most
gentle and charitable disposition
can characterize by such moderate
terms as "silly" or "ridiculous," it
is delightful change to see some
thing come forward in that line bear
ing the impress of sanity and sense,
and the occurrence is so rare that
we are in danger of becoming un-
duly excited when it does happen.
But to return to the Hilo petition,
it prays "that the office of the Road
Supervisor-in-C Chief be abolished,
as useless; that a board of road
supervisors be appointed in each
district, TO serve without compensa-
ton; and that taxpayers have the
option Of giving labor instead OF
money for their road tax" This
petition has three parts. The first
part expresses a wish for the aboli-
tioS of the Office of road-supervisor-
in-chief, on the ground of its being
a useless Office. Perhaps it is USE

GAINES CANDIDACY.

There appears on our local page com
munication signed Utah Democrat" "
upon a subject which formed the basis
of an article in Yesterdays DEMOCRAT.
While the greater portion OF our cor
respondents letter meets with our
hearty approval, we regard his implied
reflection upon the Territorial Demo-
cratic Committee rs uncalled for, or
at least premature. Gaines nomination
was only made a few days ago and the
Committee has had hardly time to take
such action as is necessary in the prem
ises. We have no doubt but meeting
will be called at an early date
and that wise counsel will pre-
vail. We have been asked what
course the DEMOCRAT would advise.
We have no advice to Offer and no sug-
gestion to make, except to urge that steps
should be taken to clear the skirts OF the
Democracy of Utah from all political con-
nection or contact with the Mormon can
didate for Congress to show to the peo-
PlO biihb tlit vi IIC
Democratic Congressional Committee in
making him member of that
body does not meet their approval, and
that he is not recognized as such by
them. Probably the most direct and
electual method would be the calling OF
Territorial Convention and the nomn-
alton Of a regular Democratic candidate
This would force Mr.. Caine to
run against nominee OF the party
OF which he processes to be II
member, and would be most conclusive
evidence to people abroad OF the shallow
ness OF his pretense, and OF the estima-
ton in which he is held by the people
whom he is supposed to represent on the
Congressional Committee How
ever, it is for the Territorial
Committee to decide as to the
best means for the accomplishment of
the purpose, and the DEMOCRAT has the
most unbounded confidence in the wis
dom and judgment of that body. Ger
tainly the first step to be taken is the
calling OF q meeting OF the Commit ee.

another department, and had well
merited the granting OF his request by
his energy and his degree of success,
which only accidentally failed OF being
complete, General Miles received COM
mand. His scouts under Lawton success
fully pursued Geronimo into Mexico just
as Crooks scouts under Crawford had
done. Once more, as before, Geronimo
voluntarily sought negotiations; and the
practical result has been that the frontier
is forever relieved from his presence.
"The question is in the first place,
whether General Miles in any respect
violated his orders, and secondly, wheth-
er his actual course was wise. Until the
official reports are published, or the facts
officially made known, it is useless to
speculate on the terms OF his orders; but
it is already clear that the Southwest Dor.
der has now been freed from terrible
scourge, and that is the matter OF most
importance"
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-10-14
REPEATING RIFLES.

Germany has decided to supply her
whole army with repeating rifles, having
proved by their use in the eastern depart
ments that these are the most effective
in warfare. A close observer OF our own
war will be struck with wonder when he
realizes that the American troops have
not one repeating small arm in the whole
army, excepting carbine. During the
war, it was proved on many occasions,
that the ability to deliver swift fire
would have reversed the results of many
battles, and to this day the men OF the
army could do very little better with the
Springfield breech-loader, than they did
with the same arm when it was muzzle
loader. 1t is not generally known that
the breech-loader now in use in the army
is the old muzzle loading rifle, made over
by driving thin steel tube in its bore to
decrease it, and by applying breech-
block by cutting out the old stationary
one, yet such is the fact. 1t is true, the
arm gives the soldier the advantage of
being able-if he is cool-to fire four
shots for the one he could fire from q
muzzle loader, but the chances OF clog
ging the machinery OF the breech- h-block
are so great in actual warfare, that he
would often find his gun useless. 1t is
upon this plea OF liability to uselessness
that the more complicated repeating
rifle is condemned for general use, but to
the average man it will appear that the
added efficiency OF such arms more than
meets the added liability to damage.
When the old Sharps rifle with tape
lock was in use, it was certainly an unre
liable arm, but the improved breech-
loader now made-of several patterns
is as free from defects as human ingenu-
ity can make it, and the loss OF a few
grains in the weight of the bullet does
not constitute bad fault. The writer
interviewed General Upton, the tactician,
at the Preside in California some years
since-just previous to his lam entable
death-on this subject, and that gentle
iii"i So w " otutCiiClp lOi
then, to the effect that to be thoroughly
equipped, a large portion of the army, at
least, should have the most improved
firearms OF the repeating style. He be-
lieved that 200 men on open ground,
armed with repea ting rifes-all other
things being equal-could drive a force
twice their number, with lesser per-
centage OF loss than those opposed to
them would have, and was, at the time
of his death, in correspondence with the
War Department, on this subject. If the
matter is to be agitated, the time OF peace
is the time to do it, nor leave it till some
unexpected cause brings the country face
to face with the dire necessity of war.

IRISH WIT.

When the immortal Moore wrote the
beautiful couplet:
Erin, the smile and the tear in thine eyes
Blend like the rainbow that hangs in thy skies"
he must have had case sim liar to the
following in his minds eye. The London
Truth tells it;
''Long life to you, SIR" said Paddy, the
other day, to an agent of the conventional
type upon the occasion of his second visit to
the property.
"Why do you say that?" asked the aston
ished agent, who was not conscious of ever
having done anything to earn the blessings
of the poor.
"Well, sir" said the peasant, "since l
first knew the place the gentlemen they send
down to collect the rent have been getting
harder and worse, and now that your honor
Is i'll it may the Lord preserve you, for if
any accident were to happen to you tits the
divil himself they would be putting over u.s."
The story is laughable, but neverthe-
less true, for the poor people OF Ireland
know it to their bitter wronging, that the
heartless men who own the land seek
only the heartless to enforce their cruel
will On this bright autumn day, when
all the Christian world IS at peace, and
all mankind is believed to be pursuing
liberty and happiness, that Island over
the sea is made the theatre OF the most
barbarous inhumanities known to modern
times. Age nor sex spares the poor vic
tim who has given life OF toll and mis-
cry for the privilege OF existing and con-
tributing to the support OF bastard race
OF bloodsuckers whose only title to the
land is found in fiendish warfare upon
rich and poor alike under the guise OF
law. The horrors OF eviction are so bru-
tai and so unmanly, the wonder is that
the men of England do not themselves
rise in arms and forever abolish it. Surely
the hearts that can so wittily portray their
sufterings, as that above, are worthy OF
succor and help.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND in his proclama-
ton revoking the discriminating customs
laws between the United States and
Cuba, has taken the only effective
method by which he could bring the
mongrel population Of the Island to
terms. Under the treaty OF Madrid of
1884. Spanish or West India traders
could land the produce of the Island in
the ports of the United States, paying
only tithe OF the duties exacted for like
imports from other countries, and for this
privilege they were to give reciprocal
advantage to all American i'm.
porters who brought goods to
them. They took all the fayors granted
by the treaty to them and Greaser-
like refused any benefits in return. To
