About Ferns.

Mr.. F. L. Clarke, upon his return
from Kauai last week, brought with him
specimens of the beautiful ferns and rare
plants only found on that island. In
preparing the ferns and flowers for sale
Mr.. Clarke has displayed great taste and
skill in mounting the specimens. Those
which are arranged on ''rice paper are
particularly beautiful, as the filmy tex
ture of the delicate ferns and the colors
are well displayed. Amongst the rare
ferns thus mounted is the famous lace
fern which is very delicate, and of the
plants there is violet found only in
Kauai, and the singular "Dtoura Longi-
falia" Gan insectiverous plant, Mr..
Clarke has his mounted specimens at
Messrs. King Brothers store on Hotel
street, where they can be seen by those
who take an interest in them.

A CORRESPONDENT makes practical
suggestion in to-day's ADVERTISER re-
garding the seating of the Y. NJ. c. A.
Hall, which the Committee of Manage
ment or trustees would do well to con-
slider. The suggested change might do
away with the discomfort of the audi
ence ocassioned by cold air drafts, and it
certainly would be an advantage to a
speaker occupying the platform were it
made. In the case of reading and reci-
tation such as Professor Parker proposes
TO give, the success must mainly depend
upon meditation OF voice. At present,
the Y. M. c. A Hall is trying place,
even to a trained speaker, and its imper-
feet acoustics must be serious draw
back in recitation. Any trifing change
therefore which would tend to remedy
this defect and add to the comfort OF the
audience should be made.

CHINESE
Mr.. Kalua presented resolution to the
effect that the Minister of Foreign Affairs
be requested to lay before the Assembly in
writing statement whether the present
regulations for Chinese coming into the
country have been carried out since they
were promulgated, and whether any more
than the prescribed number have come in
at any time. In support of his resolution
Mr. Kalua said that some time ago restric-
tons were placed on the number of Chinese
coming into the Kingdom. The public
seeing it were pretty generally pleased,
and thought If would check their coming.
But long time after the notice appeared
large numbers of Chinese continued to
come to the Islands. In one Of the last
lots there were over a hundred, and they
brought smallpox. However, they were

a great city and, like New York, Chicago

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
FEELoT clrIzFNS

An important question is before the
American people--bettor remuneration
for labor. The laboring interests are
now represented by large society,
known as the Knights Of Labor. Success
TO them, we say. We honor tho man who
makes his living by the sweat of his
brow; we honor the man that adds to the
wealth Of our country by producing
primo products, transporting them, or by
his skill changing these articles into
others of usefulness we honor the man
who drives the pillow, who sows and reapS
the grain, who plants, hoes and gins the
cotton, All laboring mon are brave men,
towards are not made OF such stuff. II
Is only few years since that Germany
conquered France, and levied upon her
an indemnity OF one thousand million
francs, quartered upon her an army OF
| 100, 900 soldiers, TO remain until the In
dcmnity was paid. France struggled
hard 10 borrow the money; she appealed
| TO her bankers and men OF wealth; they
! did not have II. She then issued bonds
of 100 francs and upward, and appealed
/ to the laboring men OF France. They
answered Out! Dull Dull ana almost as
quick as thought they loaned the millions
OF francs In gold to their country, the
debt was paid and France was free. Anc
| why did these French lahoring men have
all this money! Because they were skilled
4 worllmen, and got good prices for theii
/ labor; and our wish is that every lahorlnl
man In America win become an artisan
IN his trade, and let us all encourage hin
to do so.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.--There has not
been time in many years when both
houses OF congress contained so few pre-
eminent and acknowledged leaders as at
present occupy seats therein. In the
senate the Democratic side is the weak
est in this respect, while In the house
the Republicans suffer most by the com
parison. II these conditions were eS-
actly reversed 1t would perhaps more
nearly equalize matters In political
sense, for as the case now stands IT is
the minority side in each house that is
the weakest In leadership, and there Is
nothing that more closely resembles a
forlorn hope in a Legislative body than 8
minority inadequately led. The major
ity, with friendly presiding officer, will
generally pull through in the face of 9
deficiency OF commanding leadership, anc
the minority, possessing strong, able
leaders, will be able TO hold them pretty
level. The question of leadership IN &
legislative or dcliberative lody is on,
that cannot well be settled by caucu:
agreement. 1t settles itself The maj

practically lost from the debates and
could hardly be more retired II he were
in private life. Mr.. Evarts, though
new senator, does not stand on that foot
ing but falls naturally into the position
of leader. His service as at
torney- general under Johnson, and
as secretary of state under Hayes
has given him an experience OF
national politics and in Washington al
fairs which entitle him TO rank with the
most experienced in the senate. He Is as
frequently consulted as the oldest OF the
senators about matters of policy, and
will have great deal to say about shap-
ing the course of his party. Gen. Logan,
though not ready debater, occupies u
high position among the strong men OF
the senate. There are few men in con
gress who have his health and physical
ylgor, OF who have had sharper eXpe-
rlence In public life. Gen. Logan came
out of the campaign for the. vice-presi-
dency with rather unpromising prospects.
| lie had lost the prize contended for, and
| stood little chance of going back to The
senate, with an adverse majority in the
| legislature of his state. He was
possessed OF small means, and
having no practice to fall back
upon the future looked squally. But hlh
extraordinary campaign for the senator
ship was the turning point In mis- tor
tunes and inspired good deal OF iaiti
among party friends In the sturdy sena
tors staying qualities. Like all men VINO

the leader will gradually come to the
front and be recognized, no matter VINO
else may be striving for the position. In
the last congress ex-Speaker Keller as.
sumed that prominence and the usages oil
the past would place him in the van upon
the floor, though wholly deficient in the
qualities of leader, but Mr.. Reed soon
came to be recognized by the Republicans
as their best spokesman, poorly as he
filed The shoes OF Blaine and Garfield
No question ever existed as TO the lead
ershIp of Adams, Webster, Clay, Calhoun,
Douglass, StephenS, Thurman and
Blaine when they were in congress.
There is fine engraving still eXtant, en-
titled "The Emitted States Senate in 1850"
1t represents Henry Clay in his famous
attitude, addressing the senate on the
COMPROMISE measures. .Millard Fillmore
! is in the chair; among the attentive
listeners are Calhoun, Benton, webster,
| Douglass, Prentiss and host OF others
whose names are familiar in the history
| of that time. They are all men who adorn
the mast of congressional history, and
brought to the discharge OF their duties
unusual abilities. Since that time there
has been no occasion when so worthy
group could be photographed from a sin
gle sitting Of the senate. The tendency
has been rather downward ever since, lane
not long ago We had carpet-bagger II
the place Of Calhoun and third
class lawyer in the seat OF Web
ster. It does not follow on &C
count of some degeneraey in the halls o
congress during the past twenty-five
wears that there has been corresponding
degeneracy in the mental culture AM
education OF the American people. In
contrary is true. The table land of gen
eral intelligence is much higher now tina
1t was twenty-five years ago, and henc
promontories are fewer and more difllcul
of growth. The senator used to be IN
great political instructor OF his people
. When railroads were few and newspaper

body, when he sat there, stranger
would hardly have selected Thurman as
a leader. One might even have heard
him speak without noticing his abil-
lily or influence, but after watching
the proceedings few days the convic-
ton inevitably came that no mans words
commanded such respectful attention. In
a few hours of defamation other sena-
tors would snow you an their airs and

strength about the old man Of

dreaded and friends connded in.
