The year 1898 now drawing rapidly to
a close will certainly be long remem bered
for the series Of appalling disasters by
land and sea with which its history has
been crowded. There have been earth
quakes, floods, tornadoes, fires and severe
storms, each of which has been attended
with much loss Of life and great des'ruc-
tion OF property, entailiug woe and dis
tress in the unfortunate districts so visit
ed. The latest calamity, involving great
loss of life on burning Mississippi steam
boat, is full of sadness and horror. AL
though the dangers which formerly at
tended travel on the Mississippi River
through the recklessness of rival captains
have Largely passed away, many Others
still remain. The combustible nature of
the cargoes which these boats carry. and
the inf ammable material out of which
they are built, are constant menaces to
human life Ia this case cotton aud gun
powder did the work, aud helpless women
and innocent children were the victims.

The bill in regard to the trade dollar
recently passed by the Senate provides
that trade dollars mot defaced, mutilated
or stamped" may. until July II 1887, be
exchanged for standard silver dollars, dol
lar for dollar When received into the
treasury they shall be regarded as so much
silver bullion, and shalt be recoined inte
standard dollars, but their value as bull
lion shall he deducted from the amount
required by the act of February, 1878, to
be purchased for coinage into standard
dollars. 1t is provided, however, that not
more than $500, 900 worth of trade dollars
shall be received in any one month. The
House has not yet considered the bill al
though it is thought to be favorably dis
posed towards it, and its passage at this
session may be regarded as probable.

The United States Sen, on Friday last
contributed its share toward wipIng from
the statute books the last ves,ige Of the
tenure OF office act. passed in the days i'm
hands OF Andrew J ,hrsau in tie distribu.
ton of official patronage. As orr. finally
enacted, this law So hamper,d the execu-
tive that it practically took from him his
constitutional right ~ make appointments
to office, and put the Republican Senators
in position, which they did not hesitate
to avail themselves of, to dictate appoint
men's to the President. After Grant came
in the most obnoxious features of the law
were repealed. and so far as be was con-
cerned he never paid the least attention to
those that rem aimed At the last session
Of Congress the contest inaugurated br Mr.
Edmunds with the President to insist up,
on his communicating to the Senate his
reasons for suspensions from office, and
which resulted in such an ignomInious
hGIct6 fbf tuc cctfhtc, was btScu upbu TIC
alleged rights of the Senate under what
remained of the law. The result was to
make the law dead letter for the future
and its total repeal is not therefore mat
ter of so much consequence, as Mr.. Ed.
munds sought in the recent discussion to
make the Senate believe. The majority
of the republican Senators however, want.
ed to hold on to it, and the vote for repeal
on last Friday received only four republi-
can votes, although there were several 9TH
ers on that side who abstained from vot-
ing The House will pass the bill, OF
course, without delay. While, as said, it
really has more nominal than real effect, it
is not less proper that measure clearly
outside the pale of the constitution should
be wholly eliminated from the statutes.
When the President now makes suspen :
sions from office even Mr.. Edmunds will
not have the temerity to undertake to call
on him for his reasons. ald under no cir
cumstances can the suspended official re-
sumo possession.

Brought tidings Of salvation down

The Christmas holidays arc at hand and
in commemoration of the Holy Day the
mind mechanically reverts to the mingled
feelings of Christian thankfulness and of
social enjoyment. which, for centuries, have
been considered among civilized nations
the distinguishing characteristic of this
particular season. Tomorrow, December
25th, will be observed among all classes
and conditions of mankind in civilized
life, as the annual festival of the birth of
the saviour of mankind" In this light
that of religious festival-was the day
observed in the primitive history of the
church. Gradually it came to be looked
upon as the occasion of social and domes-
tic enjoyment also, and in this spirit the
day is now looked to as one of pleasant
memories, of gayety and social happiness
associated with and purged by the puri-
flying influences OF a religious devotion to
the tenets Of the church faith. May
thoughts like these animate the minds of
our patrons as the pleasant hours pass
heeting by in the enjoyment of the good
things" Of the day And as the genial in
fuences of the day steal upon you, do not
forget that there are others less favorably
circumstanced, to whom a small gift "out
Of your store of abundance" would bring
rejoicing and thankful remembrance
Forget not the needy and give freely, for
therein lies the essence of all true charity.
Remember that God loveth a cheerful
giver;" and certainly there could be no
more appropriate time for practicing acts
of benevolence than at the season when is
being celebrated the anniversary of His
nativity, that crowning deed of all chart
ties and self sacrifices since The world be-
gun. Remember that true charity blesses
both the giver and the receiver and will
return in after years, and, possibly, under
less favorable circumstances, to cheer the
heart and brighten the dark shadows Of
trouble and dependency. And now
word to the ''little ones" whose especial
holiday Christmas is as it commentaries
the advent into the world of the divine
child Saviour. May their brightest visions
of the coming Santa Claus, be fully real
izied, and the pleasant times so long and
so fondly anticipated, be enjoyed to the
fullest extent. In conclusion we earnestly
hope that the homes of our people may be
spared from any visitation of sorrow and
affliction during this time of festivity and
enjoyment, and that the hearts of al may
be freed from trouble and care, and our
sincerest wish is that tomorrow may truly
be A MERRY. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

Probably the most remarkable instance
of declnation of high political honor is
instanced in the case of John w. Mackey.
A private letter from Nevada says that
Mr.. Mackey, who is a staunch republican
was recently rendered, in a written com
munication signed by every member of
the Nevada Legislature as well
as republican, unanimous election as
United States Senator to succeed Mr. Fair,
whose term expires on March 4, next. Mr.
Mackey declined with thanks. saying that
he had no ambition for public life, as his
whole time was occupied with his private
affairs. This is considered rather remark
able for man in Mr.. Mackey's position,
for it is supposed now that he has great
wealth he would not be averse to accept
ing an honor that few decline.

Revenue Reform Postponed.

The House of Representatives on Satur-
day last by a vote of 154 against 40 de-
feated Mr.. Morrison's motion to go into
the consideration of revenue measures.
This apparently evinces a determination
on the part of the House not to devote
any time at all to the consideration of
tariff measures at the present session of
Congress, Notwithstanding the heavy sur
plus of 1925, 100000 which.as shown by the
official report of the Secretary OF the Treas
tlry, is annually accommodating in the treas
hry.
But the vote upon the question was so
close as to still give some hope TO the rev.
enue reformers The majority of II against
the consideration of the measure at the
last session is now cut down to 5 and
had it not been for the absence, without
pairs, of several Democratic tariff reform
ers, the majority would have been cut
down to barely 2, and possibly swept away
entirely. When the measure was first de-
feated at the last session, So alleged DEM
ocrats recorded their votes against it,while
only Republicans gave it their support.
On Saturday the opposition only had &c
votes on the Democratic side while Re-
publicans voted in favor of the notion
Mr. Morrison and the other tariff-reform
leaders in Congress are therefore still hope
full that, in full House after the holiday
recess, the question of tariff reform may
yet be taken up and some measure adopt
ed at the present session which may in
some degree at least reduce the great bur
den of the present oppressive tariff laws.
1t is gratifying to note that Mr.. Ran
dal's following has been reduced by nine
votes and that Mr.. Findlay, the member
from this State who at the last session was
with Mr.. Randall in his opposition, on
Saturday voted with the Democratic mem
bers from Maryland for the consideration
of the measure. The vote of last Saturday
indicates a greater degree of unity in the
party on this leading measure than has
heretofore existed and altogether gives
promise that the Democratic party may
yet be wise enough to exculpate itself
from the great wrong upon the people
worked by the present oppressive system
of taxation If the Democratic majority
in the House cannot, without the concur
renee of the Senate, give relief to the
tax-burdened people; it can at least show
its good faith by doing all it can in that
direction.

We are indebted to Hon. Daniel Man
ming, Secretary of the Treasury. for copy
of his annual report on the State of the
finances OF the United States for the year
1886 1t is one of the most interesting re-
ports ever issued from the Treasury De-
partment. The various topics are treated
in plain, simple manner, so as to bring
them within the comprehension of any in
telligent man. The facts, figures and ar
guments presented by Secretary Manning
in favor of reducing the tariff taxes, thereby
the cost of the necessaries of
life, are unanswerable.

The country sustains a positive loss III
the departure OF Captain W. f. O'Con-
nor. late OF the Queens Own, by the
Nararoa. Every man who does his duty
we'll and Loyalty in his sphere ought 10
be respected. Captain O'Connor has
done this He served with the British
eolors with credit, and subsequently oc-
cupied a responsible position under the
Government of British Columbia as
peace officer. In 1883 Captain O'Connor
resigned his Canadian appointment and
went to Arizona, but the lawless border
life OF that Territory was not TO his liking,
and he came to Honolulu, arriving here
in September, 1884. He joined the
Attorney Generals department, in the
detective service, where he gave salts
faction In May, 1885, Captain O'Con-
nor set about organizing the Queens
Own Company OF volunteers, and sue
ceeded not only in infusing military
ardor into the young Hawaiians OF
which it is composed, but in bringing
them into a state OF the highest efficiency
y
can be done with native youths by an
earnest, capable and painstaking officer.
Finding the detective service incompati-
BILE with his military duties, he resigned
the former in November last, since when
he has devoted himself exclusively to
the training of his company. His resig-
nation is absolute, he having accepted
position of trust and responsibility in the
Ordnance Department OF the Queensland
Government. Doubtless a larger field is
open to Captain OConnor in Australia
than in Hawaii, but one cannot
we'll help thinking that it is a
mistake to let such man leave
the country when so much work is
to be done, for the efficient execution of
which he is so well qualified. But as it
is to be parting, it only remains to
wish him aloha and success in his new
home under the old flag
