new HEBR,DIEs AFFAIRS.

During the last week of Septem-
Der the Premier sent the following
telegraphic despatch to the Agent
General: -''New Hebrides affairs
are developing rapidly. An impor-
tant correspondence has been pub
lished between missionary Macdo-
nald and the commander of her
Majesty's ship Swinger, very pre-
else and circumstantial and sup
ported by documents. The posi-
ton is most serious. The French
Hebrides Company, encouraged by
the presence of French forces, have
been proceeding with the fencing of
land held by the Presbyterian Mis-
sion in trust for natives, under a
deed duly attested by the comman-
der of her Majesty's ship Sanddy.
The French commander, on appeal,
refers to another deed as fabrication
of a former genuine one, and politely
intimates that he is there to protect
French interests. Further, charge,
plainly trumped up and clearly dis
proved, is brought of natives shoot
ing COW. Heavy damages are de-
manded, evidently to provoke a
quarrel, 1t is humilating to stand
by Witnessing native and British
rights trampled under foot. A
British force ought to be stationed
here or the French forces imme-
diately withdrawn" On receipt of
the foregoing, Sir Graham Berry
wrote to the Right Hon. Il. STAN
hope, Secretary of State for the
Colonies, enclosing Mr.. Gillies's te-
legram with reference to the pro-
ceedings of the French troops now
stationed in the New Hebridies.
"This DESPATCH" writes Sir Ora
ham Berry, confirms the intelli-
gence which l have previously re-
ceived from my Government and
communicated to you, that the pro-
ceedings of the French authorities
in the islands in relation both to the
English missionaries and the natives
point not to an approaching with
drawal of their troops, but to pro-
loDged and established occupation,
and of increasing assumption autho-
rity. The class of disputes with
regard to title to land, on which it
seems the French officers have un.
dertaken to decide, are, l need
hardly say, those most likely to
lead to hostile collision and blood
shed, and to continued pretexts for
the exercise of powers incompatible
with the neutrality of the islands,
and to further and further extension
of the period and character of the
military occupation. L beg, with
great respect, to request your ear
nest attention, and that Of her
Majesty's Government, to the in
creasingly serious character of the
circumstances referred to in Mr..
Gillies's despatch, sand to suggest
that the Secretary of State for For
eign Affairs be moved, as is advised
by my Government, to call upon the
Government of the Republic to
withdraw the troops which
have now been in the New Hebrides,
for no recognized purpose, since the
first week in June, and if they
should hesitate, that British force
should be at once dispatched to the
islands; or such other measures
taken as may establish an effective
joint occupation. "-Melbourne Age

Continued from Saturdays issue)
We returned thirteen miles to
Waialua, where the people gathered
for temperance meeting. This l
held, and organized society of
eight members, and, as usual, ex-
hibited charts. We continued our
journey to Judge Kupihea's, and
the next morning rode to Kamaloo,
eight miles away. There 1 gave q
temperance lecture. Very early the
next morning, l rode on to Kawela,
a retired settlement five miles away,
there visited the homes, and held a
meeting in the small but neat
church where gathered to meet me,
men, women and children, who gave
close attention to all l said, and
asked intelligent questions in regard
to the matter of organizing a society.
This did, fourteen signing the
pledge. On our horses again for
six miles ride to kaunakakai, our
last stopping place. Rode directly

dark for the people who were cor
dial, and well disposed to take up
the work of organizing a temper
ance society. Here l found an
active Young Peoples Christian
Association, the weekly meetings
having been held for six years.
They have furnished their church
with lights, bibles and hymn books.
Among the committees l proposed,
was one on statistics. The reply
was, ave need none. There are
no cases of drunkenness here" l
formed society of eighteen men,
bers, and, on some accounts, this,
my last stopping place, was my
best. Along the last two days of
travel, there was an almost entire
absence of vegetation with a con-
tinuation of rocks and boulders.
My travelling companions retraced
their steps for the long homeward
journey, and 1, weary and worn,
awaited the arrival of the steamer
Likelike for Honolulu, and in due
time, got on board, waved an adieu
to the friends who accompanied me
to the landing, and carried away
with me sweet memories of kindly
greetings, warm sympathies, hand
to-hand work, and earnest prayers
for my success in temperance work,
as memories Of ten days on NIolokai.
There are nineteen Hawaiian So
cieties on our list, with member
ship of 1,019.
In conducting these temperance
meetings l have felt a great need of
more temperance songs. The Ha-
waiians are song loving people,
and stream of temperance melo-
dies could be easily made to flow
through many homes, if we had the
songs. For this purpose we need a
temperance song book in the native
language. A beginning in collect
ing such songs has been made. We
also need simple text book upon
alcohol and tobacco, with questions
and answers to distribute freely
Other Hawaiian literature we hope
to be able to publish as we need it
Let us not yet despair for the
future of the Hawaiian people
There are many noble men anG
faithful women among them who
have never bowed the. knee to Baal
Work and prayer will not fail Of
their results; for He who promised
'Lo, l am with you always" is
the same yesterday, to-day and
forever"

The Real Feeling in the West.

A valued correspondent who has re-
Gently returned from the West writes
us concerning Senator Edmunds and
the opposition to his reelection. We
have received many letters of this
character and make a few extracts
from this one as furnishing an illustra-
tion of the feeling that exists concern
ing Senator Edmunds and the efforts
that are being made to depOse him.
l find from Western friends, he writes,
that there is an organized effort by in
terested parties to make it appear that
a bitter hostility to Senator Edmunds
exists in the West, in order to create
an impression in Vermont that will
help his enemies. Mr. Edmunds' de-
feat, he continues, by such man as
Smith would be regarded as a misfOr-
tune in the West, not only by the best
republicans but by thousands of demo-
Gratis who do not know that there is
such a man as Hiram Atkins.

Boys Play.

At the beginning of the week 1850
bills had been introduced into the
house of representatives, and it is es-
timated that this number will be in
creased to $4,000 by the end of the
term. For the most part the business
is huge farce, nothing more nor less
than boys play, and very small boys
play at that. The telegraph despatch
es give some idea of the carelessness
and absence of business principles on
the part of members in introducing
these bills. OF the general pension
bills rs are identical. The duplicates
and duplicates run up into the hun
drOds. A number of the bills intro
duced since the present session began
passed both houses and were signed by
the president last winter.
"My father was blacksmith and
SO am / blacksmith. | believe i
would be better at an anvil than l am

tilt of California the other day. The

er too many blacksmitlls, but not one
out of ten have sense enough to know
that they are blacksmiths and never
will be anything else.

The Other Side Heard From.

"HOward," the New York CORES
pendent of the Boston Globe, begins
an article on skating Kinks with the
statement that in New York they care
tabOOed by decent people for obvious
reasons" and closes it with the state
ment that "there are elegant pris-
on pens here in this city, from which
escape is impossible, and the skating
rink is the first step towards them"
Possibly those who think the religious
journals are "prejudiced" on the skat-
ing rink question may be willing to
accept this suggestive bit of testimony
from the other side.

The Advertising Agent.

The weekly press of New England
will waste very little sympathy on III.
p. Hubbard, the advertising agent OF
New Haven, who is personally en-
barrassed." His methods of doing bust
ness have personally embarrassed a
great many publishers of country pa
pers, who have accepted his advertis-
ing contracts on conditions that no
human being could fulfill in an ordi-
nary life time, only to be harrassed to
death with his never-ending postals
generally demanding the impossible.
He is one of those men who calculate
to reap where they have not sown. If he
carries out his declaration to "treat all
of his creditors fairly" it will be quite
an agreeable change for the creditors.
Hubbard, and advertising agents of
his kind, have done more than all other

Echoes.

That the Vermont democracy are not
altogether at peace among themselves
is pretty well understood by those
who are on the ground. The WASH
ingtOn correspondent of the Spring
field Republican says:
Echoes of the strife in the Vermont
democracy reach here every week and
the desks of the cabinet are cluttered
with marked copies of Vermont demo-
cratic sheets filled with savage person
al abuse of other democratic editors
and their friends. A member of the
cabinet said to-day that. judging from
the editorials in the Vermont demo-
cratic press, the feuds in that section
must be more fierce than in any other
section of the country. When inform
ed that no blOOdshed was ever known
to result from these attacks, he ex-
pressed his great surprise.

RAILROAD RUMORS.

People hereabOuts were given a gen
uine sensation Tuesday when they read
in all the daily papers that the negOtia-
tons between the Central Vermont and
Boston & Lowell railroads were
brought to a conclusion by the lease of
the Boston & Lowell to the Central
Vermont. "This move of President
Smith," says the report, sis regarded
as one of the shrewdest ever made on
the railroad checkerbOard of New Eng
land"
There has been good deal of talk
about Gov. Smiths plans for the ex-
tension of the Central Vermont and
many were inclined to believe the re-
port. But the next day it was unquali-
fiedly denied. Gov. Smith is reported
to have said
"The rumOr is as great surprise to
me as to anyone else and the despatch
in the morning papers was the first in
timatiOn | received that such report
was in circulation. l have no knew
ledge as to the origin of the rumOr.
You can deny the truth of the report
in most emphatic manner. There is
not the remOtest probability of either
the Central VT. leasing the Lowell
road or of the Grand Trunk securing
control of the Central Vermont"
The following is given as the prob
able foundation for the report: "The
Central Vermont has, recently, it is
understood, leased the Burlington &
Lamoille road, and the fact was an
nounced by telegraph to Montreal as a
lease of the B. & l.. The initials were
readily translated into the Boston &
Lowell road and hence the error"
Accompanying the publication OF
this story was one that the Fitchburg
railroad was negotiating to lease the
Cheshire railroad from Bellows Falls to
Fitchburg, and it is now understood
that these arrangements have been
satisfactorily completed and the Fitch
burg railroad will take possession OF
the Cheshire line.

LOCAL AND TOWN NEWS.

Cold Comfort from Florida.
The reports from the cold weather
in Florida are trifle conflicting. A
letter from Judge HOvey's son, who is
in Polk county, well down among the
lakes and 800 miles or so south of
Jacksonville, reports the bananas kill
ed but oranges not much hurt. A let
ter from Orange Park, however, which
is well north near Jacksonville, says
the mercury stood from 130 to 300 for
several days, that the ground is frozen
four inches deep and that the boys are
sliding on the ice in st. Johns river
something that no one ever remembers
before. We expect the truth is that
the northern part of the state, the best
settled and most cultivated, is very
badly injured.

Where the Shoe Begins to Pinch.

The New York Post calls attention
to new phase of the silver question
that is very suggestive. News comes
from Dakota that much agitation exists
there in consequence of instructions
received by loan agents from tn cir
principals in the East not to make any
further loans on mortgage, or to renew
any, unless it is stipulated in the con-
tract that payment shall be made in
gold or it's equivalent. The parties
lending the money lend gold, and be-
ing apprehensive that "dOllar" may
signify something 20 per cent. less val
liable than gold when the loans become
due, unless an expressed stipulation is
put in the contract, they have ordered
their agents to require such stipulation.
This is an admirable scheme. 1t
gives our friends of the West a fine
opportunity, as the Post says, to retain
for their own use as many of the silver
medals as they succeed in earning.

The summerville Census.

The census of school district No. Is,
Summerville, just completed by John
N. Gale, produces these figures relat-
ing to that village: Whole number of
families ga; number of children un-
der five years of age 1913; number of
children between five and twenty years
of age 272; number of persons over
twenty years of age 467 total 865. OF
this number 426 are males and 439 fe-
males. There are 157 tobacco users.
Number of births during the year 30
deaths Is. That Summerville is a
healthy locality is shown from the fact
that there are now living there 30 per-
sons the'sum of whose ages amounts to
1886 years, an average of considerably
over the allotted three score years and
ten. Of the cause of death, consump-
ton leads with five victims, while ty-
phoid fever, paralysis: canker-rash,
pneumonia, diabetis, each claim one,

Beer and Cider on the Fair Ground.

By voting eat its annual meeting
Tuesday not to ask the Fair ground
company to exclude the sale of beer
and cider from it's grounds during fairs,
the Agricultural society really gave
countenance to the traffic and practi

there-as one of the speakers put it,
''tO tempt our boys to drink, and to
create in them an appetite for sOme-
thing stronger" This is the way the
record stands.
