Telegraphic information from Wash
ington runneth to the effect that Gov
ernor Pierce ls there for the purpose of
ascertainIng why his resignation has not
been accepted. The special telegram
which conveys this intelligence is
worded SO as to give out the impression
that Governor Pierce is very much be-
side himself with wrath because the
general government has disappointed
him in not putting forward man to
assume the duties of the office held by
him out here in Dakota. 1t is not stated
Pierce is, the correspondent draw
ing the veil between supposition and
actuality at the most interesting point
in the gnbernatorial spasm, leaving the
public in the mazes of stupendous
doubt. Nor is it stated what the COVER
nor is angry whether II is
because OF the non acceptance of his
resignation, Or the probability that his
resignation will be accepted, or the
political necessity which compelled him
to make resignation. 1t does not say,
in fact, that be is mad, or that
he has ever resigned, only it
leaves long suffering public
to imagine that both occurrences
are now convulsing the intellect of the
republic from hub to periphery. That
the public may not go astray on this
momentous occasion, We quote the exact
words of the correspondent, who is q
news Eatherer for the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. He says:
Gov. Pierce arrived in the city to-day,
and it is claimed he comes here to
ascertain why his resignation has not
been accepted. It is not thought the
governor will nave to worry great
while longer over this mission By the
administration. The president has been
somewhat bothered by the allegations oil
western papers that he was retaining
Gov. Pierce in Office and gradually
making democratic administration in
Dakota. He said that he would make a
change when Dakota democrats became
sufficiently united to make recommen.
dation. The defeat of M. H. Day vii

ii it has not already come about. Justice
il. j. Church, who visited Washington,
ind New York, is believed to have con
siderable influence with the president il
this matter, and if Mr.. Church is moi
himself appointed to the Office before
Christmas it is believed that will name

The great strike among the meat
packers of Chicago is at an end and the
twenty. five thousand men who went out
on demand for working day of eight
hours have returned to their places with
that demand unsatisfied. These men
were members of the organization
known as the knights of labor and it
was upon the order of an assembly
master workman, M. j. Butler, that the
strike was instituted. On Saturday last
Grand Master Powderly sent to the
knights peremptory order to resume
their places and their work
and Barry and Carleton, of
the national executive committee, were
at the scene of the strike to aid in the
enforcement of the order. There were
strong evidences of mntiny on the part
of the ooopers assembly and the mixed
assembly of knights, presided over re-
spectively by Master Wolkmen George
Schilling and M. j. Butler. These two
assemblies first voted down the order,
then reconsidered. under the eloquent
appeals of Messrs. Carleton and Barry,
and yielded obedience. Bv refusing tc
obey the order they could have kept the
entire rs, 600 men on the strike, though
their assemblies numbered only about
HOO. The two members of the exeou-
tive committee formally declared the
strike at an end and the men resumed
work.
The perfect operation of this immense
human machine, known as the knights
of labor, will attract attention. 1t is
| composed to q large extent OF discordant
elements aud there is much ignorance in
| it's ranks. Yet 1t has conducted a strike
| OF long duration, one which shut off the
| supply of daily bread from $4,000 labor
ing men, without any exhibition OF
| violence or unusual excitement and in
the end has yielded obedience to the
order OF d single man, who assei ted
that they were in the wrong and their
| employers in the right. The perfect dis.
clpline OF this mass of laboring men ls
both alarming and reassuring. If the
tremendous power lying dormant in the
han1s of the organization should be
turned to purposes of evil it could
| become gigantic element of enarchlsm
and disruption and Decentralization.
| Under the dictation of wise oonnsels,
cool heads and honest hearts 1t is tower
of strength end q stable bulwark against
the revolutionary tendencies OF the ex-
tremists who are counted among the
| knights. The lesson of the Chicago
strike is one upon which the intellect OF
the country will long ponder.

Wine with a History.

Salt Lake Tribune: j A. Murray, of
Butte, M. T., is the possessor Of twelve
bottles OF wine with hiatory. The
earliest known of this wine is that it
was found in subterranean vault,
inside sealed stone receptacle, in
Jesuitlcal monastery that was de.
molished during local feud OF religious
fanatics. 1t SO happened that the eye
of an epicurean fell upon 1t, and he
secured it as the most valuable OF the
treasures, and carried it into Poland;
presented it to the crown, for which he
was rewarded by the highest honors and
titles that could be conferred upon an
ordinary city. At the marriage of the
Princess Decherniz OF Poland to the
heir apparant of France, the only
remaining basket OF this priceless
vintage was presented to the prince
for the nuptial. An unprinclpled adj
venturer by the name Of Bouforte. who
had secured the position of second ste
ward to the crown, stole twelve bottles OF
the precious nectar, and replaced these
with twelve of an inferior article.
These twelve bottles he brought with
him to America in the year 1890. He
communicated the nature of his special
treasure to his most trusted friend,
Henry Coatway, The cupidity and
avarice of the latter oyerpowered his
reason, and he killed Bouforte to secure
the wine. The deed was no sooner done
than he feared tie vengeance Of the law,
and resolved to fly to distant parts, for
time at least, until the excitement Of
of the murder would die out. Before
leaving he buried the twelve bottles
far down among the roots OF an ancient
oak. Fifty years after, cn uprooting
this sams tree. newly converted Nor
mon found the treasure and took il With
him when he migrated to Utah.
When Brigham Young was made
acquainted with the nature OF the valu-
able article contained IN the twelve bot
ties he informed the owner that God had
made him the instrument to find this
treasure. that he might give it t,o the
head OF the church, and forthwith. took
the vintage.
! The wine was in turn ptolsn from
Brigham by an apostate Mormon, and
i On his deathbed, at the mining camp OF
Pioneer, he beqneathed tod. A. Murray
| this wine of such an eyentful history, as
testimonial of his gratitude to that
gentleman for his having loaned him
$500 at one time for the purpose of
1 calling hand for Julius Levy, by which
he took down q pot containing $1,000.

CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM.

The Prime Minister of Denmark
has introduced bill in the Folke-
thing for the revision of the constitu-
ton. A similar service is required
to be performed in this kingdom,
but from the nature of things the
movement can hardly be hoped to
emanate from any Ministry. The
Hawaiian constitution is framed so
as to prevent its being improved by
any internal process, except in the
unexpected eventuality of those who
revel in It's archaic privileges volun-
tarily abandoning the sordid and
selfish standpoint from which they
now view the matter, and coming to
an examination of the question in
the light of equity, human rights
and the experience of other nations.
Otherwise, an effort to have our con-
stitution altered in consonance with
modern free representative govern
ment must originate with the people
out of Office and be pressed by them
so strenuously and unanimously that
the offlce-holders cannot successfully
resist il,

the TELEPHONE COMPETITION.

Doubtless the establishment OF
competition in telephony has made
the service cheaper to single sub
scribers in Honolulu, but, in proper
ton to the number of instruments
in use, the public convenience is not
as well served by the two companies
as it was by the one first in the field.
In private connections many people
find that those they have most fire.
quent desire to communicate with
are on another line from themselves.
The situation is even more unsatis-
factory to business houses, that. rs
a rule, require connection with both
lines to get the full benefit of the
convenience. Thus they are given
the alternative of subscribing to
both lines, or dispensing with the
large telephone custom afforded by
one or other of them. Instead of
being cheaper, therefore, the service
to business people is much dearer
under competition than under the
monopoly. 1t would be a great
boon to the business and social life
of the city if the two lines could be
amalgamated. Cannot the stock
holders of both see their interest to
be in harmony with the public bene-
fit in this matter!
