The Hebralzation of New YORK..

New YORK, July 30-We hear a great deal
about Irish rule in New York, and the large in
crease in the German population, and the show
ing that even the Italians, French and Chinese
are beginning to make but seldom is any COM
ment made on the spread of the Jewish colony,
and the slow, steady absorption of certain
branches of the wholesale trade into the hands
of the Israelites. It used to be said that al

keeps out of politics, he does no mechanical
work, he is not knight of Labor, he does not

Thomas b. Reed, Of Maine, is probably the
best-known man on the Republican, side of the
House. He is a striking figure, as viewed from
the galleries. when he is in his seat, and when
he rises to speak, with his dark-blue eyes twink
ing with mischief and smile ripping across
his round, full moon face, everybody knows that
there is going to be some fun. Reeds manner
of speaking is very peculiar. He always speaks
in reply to something that has been said on the
other side. He begins by leaning forward in his
seat, and cooking his left ear, which seems to be
the most acute. over toward the gentleman who
is addressing the House. He slowly gets on his
feet and stands by his desk a moment, with his
head still inclined toward the speaking member.
Then he advances three or four long strides
down the aisle, and stops like pointer, and
cocks his head and listens again. When the
member sits down Reed raises his fat hand
like boy at school asking to go out. and at
tracts the Speakers attention. The very first
syllable he utters rips through the chamber like
buzz saw that has struck pine knot What

House on either side who can fence with Reed
in an encounter of wits without getting the

why Prohibition Does Not Prohibit.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
There is nothing strange in the fact that pro,
hibition does not prohibit Wherever prohibit

ton of large minority. The sentiment in its
favor is worked up by public addresses and
appeals. A large number Of those voting for il
are influenced by the desire to crafty the
wishes of some more ardent neighbor or friend,
and have little personal feeling the subject.

support it, such as exists behind laws making

There is further fatal want of logic in prohi-

come from drinking them. Prohibition, how;
ever. does not punish the drinker; it makes tho

the manufacture and sale of an article for cers

Oh, the vows that are broken every day;

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly took half
holiday on Saturday last. No objection
can be urged against this course In
some Legislative bodies Saturday is de-
voted TO committee work. The fact tina
the Hawaiian Parliament sits on Satur-
day for dispatch of business is to its
credit.
The work done was satisfactory His
Excellency Mr.. Gulick gave notice of
bill to establish Bureau of Forestry in
the Interior Department. The discussion
that took place on the subject of forestry
in Committee of the Whole last Friday
prepared the House for the intelligent
consideration of this bill. Its objects
are of paramount Importance to the
country. The demand for lumber for
every purpose to which it can be applied
is increasing, and the available supply
on these Islands is lessening every year.
Indeed, it may be said generally that
our home forests have been destroyed,
the remaining heavy timber growing In
remote and inaccessible places. But
this is not ALL The work of devastation
is being carried on continuously by herds
of wild cattle and f1ocks of goats, which
prevent the growth of young trees.
Something should be done to arrest this
ruinous condition of affairs If a Bureau
OF Forestry can do this, it should be es-
tablished with sufficient authority to act
in the premises. The least it can ac-
complish, however, would be to report
upon the state of our native forests and
suggest measures for their preservation
and extension. This would justify its
foundation, to say nothing about the
work Ofexperimental acclimatization.
A bill relating to the prevention of
smuggling, being supplemental to arti-
Gle %, chapter 9, of the Civil Code, was
read third time, but not before Messrs.
Dole and Thurston made a gallant
fight for the "smugglers' ring" 1t is
noteworthy fact that while these gem
tlemen, and those allied to them, pro-
fess the utmost adherence OF smuggling,
whenever any practical preventive meas
ure is proposed they find some plausible
excuse Tor opposing IL toOtn ana nan.
The bill in question is precisely one OF
this character, and as a matter of course
it was opposed by Messrs. Dole and
Thurston, and in a less virulent and OBJ
trusive way by Mr.. Castle. 1t is mis-
fortune that such a bill should be neces-
sary, but any one who knows anything
of the operations of the opium ring I'M
derstands that smuggling between the
Islands is quite as common as smuggling
direct from abroad. The Legislature,
with its large majority OF NatiOnalists,
passed the bill, comforting upon the au-
thorities necessary powers to check
somewhat, if they cannot quite prevent,
the demoraIizing prevalent habit of Illicit
traffic in opium.

Arson Case.

On Saturday August Leonard was tried
in the Police Court for maliciously bum
ing the house of Mr.. G. w. Bruce on the
18th instant. The particulars of the fire
were given by us on the 18th. The fol-
lowing evidence was taken, the
first witness being n. K. Meyers,
who stated the particulars as to
how he put the fire out in one
corner of the room with two grenades.
The defendant was in the room on the
floor. He spoke to him and he got up.
The fire was still in the roof. With a
few bucketfuls of water it was put out.
There were two holes in the partition of
the room which were not there when he
left the house in March. The hole in
the ceiling was about two feet square.
The cloth and paper was burned at a
door leading out of the room where the
fire was.
c. w. Bruce stated the building was
Nowned by him and valued at 81 200. He
got there about three-quarters OF an hour
after the fire was out. The damage was
estimated by carpenter at 500 80. De
PENDANT rented the premises. There
was $1,000 insurance on the building.
He had never had any trouble with the
defendant.
H. Rieminschneider stated that he
went to the fire after the alarm was
given and got there while it was still
smoking. He found two broken blinds,
sticks of wood and shavings burnt and
charred in one corner of the room. He
went into another room and found under
a window the paper torn away and loose,
and some boards taken out in the parti-
ton. He found burnt rags. Asked de-
PENDANT how the fire started, and he said
he had had kerosene oil in a five pound
lard tin, and that he set it on fire and
tried to boil milk in a milk pail. He
said he tried to boil milk in the corner
of the room on heap of rubbish. Both
tins looked bright On Tuesday night
he went again to the house and found
five auger holes from the room where
the fire was into partition were the rags
were.
c. A. Brown stated he got to the fire
about the same time as last witness.
He asked defendant where his furniture
and bed were and he said he had

neither; he slept on the floor. He said
he was heating some milk in q lard tin.
The witness took the tin and found it
smelt OF crude petroleum. The tins were
perfectly bright and had not been near a
fire, which raised his suspicious. He
overhauled the charred wood in the cor
ner. There were shavings, parts of
three blinds and some kindings He
noticed the paper torn of in the next
room and took out two pieces OF partly
burnt cloth from the partition. Also
discovered five holes in the wall, and
marks of saw and fresh sawdust.
A. Jaeger was also examined and gave
similar testimony After examining
the place he went away, but returned in
twenty minutes. He then found the
wood chips under the auger holes, and
the tin that contained the oil was miss
ing. Defendant said some of the gentle
men must have taken them away.
This closed the evidence for the prose
cutiOn.
The defendant was then put on the
stand but directly after was withdrawn,
and stands remanded until this morning,
TO allow the Court to visit the premises.

One Day,s Later News.

The new schooner Moi Wahine brings
San Francisco papers of June 9th, one
day later than by the Mariposa. Being
Sunday, however, the more important
news was anticipated by the evening
newspapers of the 9Th, with the single
exception of details of the general tie-up
of all surface railroads in New York City,
Brooklyn and Jersey City. Fears were
entertained that the elevated railroad
hands would also join the strike, and
compel everybody to walk from one end
of the city to the other. The men had
no grievance, but resorted to this ex
treme measure to bring pressure upon
the Third Avenue Car line, with which
the trouble began, and which was
operating with non-uniOn men. About
200 OF these men likewise joined the
strikers There was a statement early
on the morning of the 9Th that all the
car drivers would resume, the Third
Avenue having come to terms.
The Rio Grande has overhowed, an d
washed away every bridge across it on
the Santa Fe Railroad except at San
Juan and Bernatillo. No trains have at
tempted to cross the river at Isleta for
eight days, and but two transfers OF pas
sengers and baggage have been made
during that time. The river at many
places is two miles wide. The track at
San Marcial and between Rincon and
FL Paso is gone, and there is no prOba-
bility OF the company being able to re-
pair it for several days. The old Church
of st. Francis, at Santa Domingo, Pueblo,
over 100 years old, has been washed
away, but the pictures and books in the
building, dating back to the fourteenth
century. were saved. No lives are re-
ported lost.
