The proposals, il is said, include

the GOVERNMENT VICTORY.

So far as the capital of the king
dom and this island are concerned.
and assuming that the voting system
and election methods in vogue here
permit of free expression of the
popular will, the elections yesterday
resulted in q signal victory for the
Government. While awaiting the
returns from the other islands il
would be premature to discuss the
probable consequences of a verdict
conciding with that rendered by
Honolulu and Oahu. A comment on
the struggle in this district will, how
ever, be proper. The bearers of the
two leading names running on the
Independent side have no reason to
feel Inundated by their defeat. Com
ing late into the field, having the
conscriptcd vote of the entire native
militia to overcome, and having to
rely almost wholly upon their indivi-
dual cxcrtions IN the brief campaign,
they confronted an enemy formida-
bic enough, as its strength was eXhi-
bited in the open, to appall hearts Of
no ordinary stoutness. But when,
in addition to the circumstances men
toned, the acknowledgements of re-
form had pitted against them methods
more unscrupulous and unfair than
would void an election in any country
possessing the most ordinary safe
guards of electoral freedom and in
dependence, the vote polled by Mr..
Carter and by Mr.. Waterhouse really
amounts to victory. AT least they
may bear their reverse more proudly,
although with the sad consciousness
that with them was rcpulsed most of
the independence and untrammeled
intelligence Of the constituency, than
their opponents can wear the plumes
of such victory as theirs-won by
debasing the electorate susceptible
to vile influences; by the coercion
of all the voters within the power
of the Government by fraudulent
franchise conferred, in some cases
at the polling booth, upon persons
who had no legal right to the ballot
and by defrauding others, who were
qualified to vote, of their sacred pri
vilege. If the whole kingdom gives
an Independent Legislature, these
means of obtaining an unjust YER
dict will stand a chance of being
proven against the Government part.
in Honolulu, and the men who wer'
announced at the head of the poll
last night will have to relinquisl
their ill-gotten honors. Having salt
thus much concerning what the In
dependents had to face from with
out, it would be appropriate to dis
cuss causes contributing to defea
within the camp, but this we leav
until space can be afforded for doin;
the subject a measure of justice il
keeping with its Importance.

stems as beef cattle, we call attention
to the following statement:

Syracuse and Little Wonder had not
been fattcncd for beef, and Signct we
had fed for some time. but she was not
what beef men would regard fat.
Taking everything into consideration,
we think this shows decidedly to the
advantage of Holsteins as beef animals.
The butchers that purchased and cut
up the carcasses of Signet and Little
Wonder send us the following strong
testimonial as to the quality of these
two cows:

Played To a Freeze Out.

Over in tie treasury a story is told al
the expense of high official. The air
in the room Was rather chilly, but the
clerks were found busily at work in
their light office coats. They had
warmed the bulb Of the thermometer
up to seventy-five, and awaited develop
mentS. The official remarked that II
was cold and shivered and looked un-
easily about the room. Tie clerk leis'
urely glanced at the thermometer and
said it was very comfortable. The Off
cial looked and saw and wondered.

but he went to his desk.
Pretty soon the clerk in front of him
deliberately pulled off his coat and re,
sumed work.

remarked the official, but every clerk
had his nose down to business, and
hadn't time to answer.
Good heavens!' exclaimed another
in loud voice, pulling oil his coat
The official, still mufiled in his over
coat and shlvering, went oyer agair
and looked at the thermometer. A
clerk had in the mean time applied the
lighted end of cigar to the bulb, anc
the mercury had jumped 10 eighty.
Dear me!' said the official. '1'n
afraid I'm going to be sick After
little he pulled on his gloves and start
ed for home, took quinine and whiskey
and went to bed. When he returned u
the office next day the story met him IL
the corridor. He says it is all right; ne
is well, and the fellows who played IL
on him are sneezing their heads off.

Two Wall Street Pictures.

A speculator in four years has paid
one firm inWall street the sum Of $3.50,
900 in commissions, says New York
letter. He was a wealthy man when
he went into the street with laudable
but unwarrantable desire to increase
his patrimony by speculating in stocks.
Now, SO heavy have been his losses
that he would be satisfied il he possess
ed the sum he has paid out in commits
sions. AS it is, he will cheerfully &C.
cept clerkship in the said firm, who
wish to avail themselves of his numer-
Gus acqnaintances to increase their GUS
tom. If he had been contented with
a handsome sufficiency for the day, a.
mounting really to super-abundance. he
would now be in affiuence instead of
in the position of comparative destitu-
ton he Is,
On the other hand, young clerk q
few years ago commenced to speculate
in the street with 5000, the savings OF
a year's abstinence from smoking. and
now is worth in real estate over 81, 600,
GOO and several more in secucities. In
Wall street speculation, more than in
anything else, what is gain for one man
is ruin fol- another.

The Romance Of a Coal Stove.

One day last fall, after talking until
his throat was sore, Detroit stove
dealer succeeded in selling widow a
coal stove, but it was with the proviso
that if everything didn't work satisfac-
tory he was to make it. Two days af :
ter delivering the stove he got his first
call. A boy entered the store and said:
"Mrs.-wdnts you to come up and
fix the stove. The house is full of
smoke
A man was sent up, and he found
the trouble to he with tie chimney.
Oaly three or four days had passed
when the boy came in again and said ::
That stove is putting and blowing
and soaring the widow to death. She
wants the same man to come up
gain"
He was sent, and it was discovered
that she didn't know how to arrange
the dampers and drafts. Everything
seemed to run well for a week, and then
the boy walked in to announce :
"She sent me down to have you send
that man up again. The house is full
of coal gas.
The nan went up and applied the
remedy, but inside of three days the
stove got to putting; two days after that
the fire wouldn't draw then it drew
too much; then gas escaped again. AT
length the dealer went to the house and
said:
MADAM, you gave me $50 for the
stove; how much will you take for it?''
Il wouldn't sell it,
but can't be sending my man up
here every two or three days all WIN
| ter" "
You won't have to. I've conclud-
ed to marry HIM in order to have some
one here in case of accident"
And three days ago they were quietly
and happily married. Detroit Free

not get excited. Is that your husband

"No madam, | did not; but | saw
him buying peanuts, and believed it

TaImage Oh Marriage.

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage preached
on Sunday, January 10th, the first OF
series of sermons on marriage. Here
are some of the sentences uttered by
DR.. Talmage
"There are vast number Of people
who ought not to be married. There
are $40, 900 more women in England
than men, and about the same number
il this country. Tie moral of such
| fact is that thousands of women should
regard it as duty TO take measures 80
effective that they should be able to
take care of themselves. Another fact
! is that there are very large number OF
men who are not fit to be married, and
| it il time TO say that If woman losses
her integrity and her honor is not fit to
be married, then it is equally true that
| a man who is untrue To the best
promptings Of his moral nature and IL
| impure, is not fit to be married. john
Wesley-as good man as eyer lived
was chained to woman who did all
she could TO destroy his influence, and
sat inCity Road Chapel making mouths
at him while he preached. Then there
are women who are scolds and who
look on you like March northeaster.
| Then there are the opium -eating wo-
men- 400. 900 of them in America to-
day-who will have their erug although
it costs them the greatest treasure OF
their household. 1 urge you to ask d.
vine guidance, because society Is full OF
artifciality. After her dress makel.
her hair adjuster, her jeweler and other
mysterious agencies have transfoI med
a woman, how can an unsophisticated
man discern the real meaning of these
physiological hieroglyphics =? Men are
by these means swindled, they make a
Bargain from sample, and when the
goodf come TO be delivered they find
that they are not equal TO the sample.
They marry sweet-tempered woman,
as they suppose, and she turns out to
be Jezebel they marry a woman as
meek apparently as :he salnted Mary,
and they get a Lucrezia Borgia when
they thokght they had Martha Wash
ington. care not for such women or
the richness of their upholstery, for |
will tell them they are not as honest as
the Cyprians on the street for these
latter advertise their infamy, but the
former profess heaven when they mean
hell.
"a great deal has been said about
women being taken from the ribs OF
Adam. But there are twenty-four ribs,
and there are twenty-three possibilities
10 one that you will get the wrong rib.
John Milton, the poet, who was blind,
was told that his wife was rose, and
he replied, Il am not much of judge
of color, but think that it is very like
" so, for / feel the thorn Look at
Solomon, whose married life was as un-
happy as it was multitudinous, and a
mong the wise observations Of his ex-
perience ia this matter is this I: "A
continual dropping ON a very rainy day
and contentiuous woman are alike
"If in this matter you make no mis-
take you will have two heavens, one
here below and one hereafter 4; but ii
you do make mistake you have two
bells. one here and one hereafter
DIR. Talmage concluded by giving
number of illustrations of the bene6
cence of women as Christian, and
closed with pathetic and touching de.
scription of the scenes around his own
mothers death bed.
