A NEW political PHASE.

1t is an old saying that politics
make strange bed-fellows," and the
truth contained in the political saw has
as general an application to classes of
people and political factions as it has
to individuals. There is, however,
this difference, in the pairing off of indi-
yidual political bed-fellows and the par
ing off of political classes and factions,
that in the former case the individual
combinations are made against the
interests Of the people, while in the
latter case the people sometimes see
fit to spool their interests" against the
party leaders for the public good. The
history of political parties in this
Kingdom shows that hitherto the
voters have not been SO thoroughly
discontented as to develop an element,
which has Immediately grown into
opposition to the leaders of both the
political parties. The development in
the present instance has been long
continued.
Out Of the many political phases
which have characterized Hawaiian
politics heretofore, new phase has
at last risen which demands the care
full consideration Of the party leaders
on both sides, and invites the investi-
cation of voters before they give their
allegiance by ballot to the candidates
put forth upon the older platforms.
1t cannot be said that the Independent
Opposition, properly SO called because
it is in opposition to the alleged
National (2) candidates, has fully
developed into an organized political
body, until the people have reached
that point where, from necessity, they
organize politically to protect their
common interests
That out Of the two parties, as they
exist at present, however, it cannot be
denied, by the careful observer. that
there is sensible political fermentation
at work in social classes and political
factions which will ultimately demand
new leaderstochampionwha theyof the
newphase consider to be their rights and
the country sinterests. Theseleaders will
not be required to champion political
faith which is materially different from
that of the present Opposition party
but the movement will spring rather for
restless desire on the part of factions
in both parties, who unite on COM
mon political ground Of opposition to
a particular Administration, to place
their confidence and political hope
under the protection of new men who
will lead them to victory with re-
newed impetus.
This new political phase has so far
developed in Hawaiian politics that
the electioneerers Of both parties are
feeling the influence in the present
canvass. 1t is not our design, however,
o search out the cau'es Of this move
ment at the present writing 1t is
enough to take the local historical fact,
and treat il as factor in the co;uing
ampaign, ii'ihe call for new leaders,
who are not indeptifed @ith either
political party, means, if it means any
thing, thalfhis new political element
will demand thoroughly independent
men. 1t is fact that propositions
have already been made by the new
party, if such we may be allowed to call
it, to some Of the citizens of Honolulu

THE GIRL AT THE GATE.
Bob Burdette Speaks Up Some
Warm Words in Her Favor.

Heaven bless the girl at the front
gate with peach-bloom on her cheeks
and love-light in her eyes. Some
men would shut her out of our liter
allure, but ! am not one of them. The
girl at the front gate can never grow
old to those who have been with her.
Years May come and go, but the mu-
sic of the low voice at the front gate
will not be stilled, and the memory
of the cherry lips We kissed at the
front gate will hold out faithful to the
end.
What if the old gate does sag and
its hinges rattle and its latch refuse
TO hold it shut? What if the posts
are shaky and some Of its pickets
gone? We love the dear old relic
still. We love it for the sake of the
girl who used to stand out there by
it with roses on her cheeks and nectar
on her lips.
We held the old gate up and count
ed the stars, and bib goodbye and
then counted the stars again. How
many times of night was goodbye
said? How many times did lips
meet over the dear old gate? The
old gate knows, but it will never tell
The old front gate may have counted
the kisses, but | never did. And
am sure that the girl with the peach
bloom cheeks never did.
And what of the girl with peach
bloom cheeks? All, me! She mar
ricd another. She. forgot her vows
at the old front gate, as some girls
will, and married a richer and hand
somer man. And L? Well, l wen
off to another front gate, where there
were other peach-bloom cheeks ant
other lips as sweet, and just as many
stars TO count.
And now I have a front gate o
my own, and a girl of my own will
pcach-bloom cheeks, who counts tn,
stars with the boy of the girl who's
vows made me at the first front gat
were broken. But he is q true, gooC
boy, and my girl is a good, true girl
aud heaven bless them both as they
stand tonight at the old front gate.

PRESERVING WOOD.
A Simple Solution and Its Very Satisfactory
Results.

a Simple solution ana ItS very SATISFACTORY
Results.
1t is a fact pretty generally under
stood that the line of demarcation sep
arating the rotting from the undecom.
posed wood is, as the old farmer said of
his fence posts, "betwecn daylight and
dark" proving conclusively that one Of
two things, uninterrupted exposure or
perfect scclusion from all atmospheric
influences will preserve wood much long
or than it generally lasts. Again, some
elements OF decomposition are invaria-
bly, present and mate in the majority Of
American timbcrs, hence painting is not
necessarily preventive of rot, it even
accelcratcs rotting under certain condi-
tons, inasmuch rs these influences Of
decay and decomposition are imprisoned
and their escape prevented by the coat
ing of paint
What is needed to preserve wood,
the volatile neutrality-suspicious. all
be driven off first; this will eflectually
carry away those adverse elements,
leaving the cellular tissue comparative-
" free and uncontaminated, but the III
terstices or pores previously occupied
by this surplus moisture must bc hlled
with some substance that will prevent
the advent of atmospheric moisture,
otherwise the wood will soon be- in the
same condition as before. Many cheap
substances. easily applied, are recon-
mendcd for this. A solution made OF
gutta percha, two parts. paraiinc. one

after the wood has cooled and the solu.

THE Fill ISLANDS.


Rcvcrent Devoutncss of People who Prac-
ticcd Canniballsm Few Xears Ago.
Ny first impressions of the South Sea
Isles were derived from Fiji, which in
1876 had, by its own voluntary deed,
become q British colony. Though it
may seem inexcusablc that member

that the Fiians are not altogether
ignorant; they already have some
schools and chapcls." On further in.
quiry learned that 'somc meant nine
hundred chapcls and ono thousand,
four hundred schools, built by tho
people themselves, at every village in

Samuel ]. Tilden.
Louisville Times,


There is no private citizen in Amer
lea whose death would produce the
sensation that the death of Samuel j.
Tilden has occasioned. There is no
individual on this continent, with the
exception of the President, whose
death would excite the feelings SAM
uel j. Tilden's death has aroused.
For hall century he has been a
power in this country. Upon the
very threshold of his manhood he
became a leader of public opinion-a
leader of men. In that regency that
had Martin Van Buren, for head
and Silas Wright and William L.
Marcy for members, he was direc-
tor and admonisher. Later Richmond
and Cagger consulted him upon
every movement. lie is was who
organized his party in the midst of
war and placed Horatio Seymour in
the executive Office of New York. He
it was who eradicated Tweedism. He
it was who destroyed the canal rings.
He it was who brought the Empire
State into the Democratic line in 1874,
and organized his party for the tre-
mcndoGs struggle of 1876. lie is was
who first led Democracy to victory in
a national contest after the war. lie,
Lincoln and Grant were the three
most eminent American citizens after
Clay, Calhoun and Webster left the
stage.
In 1876, Mr.. Tilden was elected
President of the United States. lie
was not responsible for the extra con-
stitutional method by which another
reaped the fruits of his victory, The
Electoral Commission was created
over his protest, but like good cit
zen lie submitted to the laws as they
were made by the powers authorized
to make them, and bore in dignifed
retirement more honors than the
Presidency could bestow upon the
man who supplanted him. Twice
afterwards he put the crowd from
him, for he could have been nomi-
mated in 1880, after struggle, and in
1884, nod would have given him
the nomination by reclamation in the
convention that chose the President
of the United States but he had the
strength Of character TO leave his
vindication TO the sedate opinion of
every honest man, without engaging
in a political campaign that would
have destroyed his vital forces.
After his retirement from public
station he lived life Of elegant ease.
In his mansion, surrounded by every
luxury that a cultured taste could
suggest and boundloss wealth could
supply, he was the mentor of his
party, and his home the Mecca of
those of his political faith. lie is the
author of many political works which
will be treated as authority as long

SOME MINOR HELPS.
Where u Small Thing May Save Much
Strength and Many Steps.

Strength and Many Steps.
A common failing We women have Is
a willingness to worry along without
propcr utensils to do work with. We
90 on lifting the heavy iron pc: to boil
a hali dozen potatoes, when a three
quart granite kettle, or even cheap tin
one, would be so handy; we do without
the extra broom for the best carpets, q
piece of the worst economy; We lack n
good sharp knife for cutting meat, lit
lie one to pare vegetables with, boiler
for oatmeal, carpct-swecpcr; there Is
n scantmess of clothcs-pins, no skirt
board for ironing dresses, and so on.
This lack makes the work n third moro
irksome. No man of common sense
would blundcr along in such a manner.
A woman does not always have nc
cess to funds whcrcwith to get even
trillcs, but still we think by giving
thought to the matter she could get the
desired articles, because such covcnieR-
ccs do not really cost much.
The usual kind of hired girl will
not do without the convcnicnccS which
her employer has denied herself, and it
is much the wiser way to have convent
ent utensils and then dispense with help,
if need be, as. girls for homework now
are so unskillcd that they often largely
increase the nervous wear OF the house,

A carpct-sweepcr is great help, but

it. Of course it will not dig out all the
corners or perfectly sweep room with.

n sitting room about the edges and

broom, and finishing it off with car

can keep it neat the rest OF the time by

GONE WITH A RUBBER MAN.
What the Husband Of Morisini's
Maynard Daughter Has to Say
Of His Missing Spouse.

New York, Sept. 3.-Victoria Nor
isini, the daughter of Jay Gould's
partner and intimate friend, Giovanni
Morisini, is furnishing the public
with amusements once more. Her
elopement with her fathers coach
man, Ernest Schiling, her debut on
the stage, and the anger and frenzy
ofthe Italian financier, are remember
cd by all. A new scene has been
slipped into the drama of the million
aires daughters life, and 1t is by no
means less lurid than those already
presented to the public. She has de-
serted her husband, after year and
a half of married life, and gone, but
where she has gone nobody knows.
Some say she has returned to her
father and been sent by him for a few
years of travel in Europe, but the
deserted husband will not have ii
that way. He asserts that they lived
happily until short time ago, when
cloud crept over the domestic hori-
ION, and to the sound of slow fiddles,
the heavy william entered-a Boston
ian graduate of Yale, and one who
devoted his intellect to the business of
his father, which is rubber. His
neatly engraved card is in possession
of Mr.. Schilling. Upon the exploits
of this Boston gentleman, Mr.. SChil-
ling hangs his reasons for believing
that his wife no longer calls him

Mr.. Schilling states that his wife left
nothing behind her save some solid
linen and the latch-key. lie considers
her very unkind, as she had Fl 100 il
