Judge Brace was nominated
by the Democrats for Supreme
Judge at their convention in st.
Louis, yesterday.
The Kansas City court of
appeals went to st. Louis this week
to help manipulate the Henry
movement. It failed.
1t is now thought that the
River and Harbor and Oleomarga-
rine bills would never have pass
ed the President had he not brok-
en- his veto machine on the pen
sion bills of the old soldiers.
-Kirksvilleis is able to indulge
in the luxury of one Marshal and
a deputy each of whom draw a
salary Of $4,000 per month. AS
times are hard, the town in debt,
and just about half enough work
for one officer, wouldn't it be bet
ter to put half Of the salary Of
marshal and deputy into street i'm
provements.
Joseph Park has been Sc
lected by the republicans of Ma
con county to make the race for
the Office of representative. The
"Home Press" says of him that,
che is well liked, a gentleman of
ability and would make splendid
representative" He is an untiring
worker and will no doubt have a
a walk over, at least he will make
it so warm for his opponent in
November that he will be remind
ed of the August days, when the
mercury stood at 104 in the shade.
During the trial of Maxwell
at st. Louis for the murder of
Preller, and the trial of the anar-
chists at Chicago, the daily atten-
dance of.women in the court room
was marked feature, and their
evident sympathy with these heart
less villains has been expressed
by showering costly and beautiful
boquets upon them. We believe
the political rights, which women
are claiming, includes the jury ser
vice in murder trials. If this
gushing gush continues it will
materially weaken the belief that
woman should enjoy equal politi-
cal rights with man. All a MUIR
derer would need, to make his
neck perfectly safe, would be to
have a jury of sentimental women
who would not only acquit him.
but again send him forth to the
world he had polluted, crowned
with roses.
Mr.. c. l. Filley is out il
an open letter to the "Globe-Dem'
ocrat, showing up the record o.
that paper as a bolter since 1876
We must say the record is a bao
one. But if Missouri is to be re.
deemed all boiling and kicking
should cease. The "kicking In
FAINT" made its last kick in this
county two years ago and it must
cease all over the state.

The best executed robbery that

place last Friday night. Burglars
entered the Post Office by remov-

Canton News
About two weeks ago two men il
a covered spring wagon came tc
this place to collect feather beds
for the purpose they said of reno.
waiting them. They said theil
renovator was at Shelbina and
that they would take the beds owe,
there and renovate the feathers
and then deliver them at this
place on Tuesday of last week
Their prices were so low that
many were induced to give them
job. When they were at this
place their wagon was full and the
result is that the men have the
beds and never expect to return
them to their owners. There is
no feather renovator at Shelbina
and these men simply said this in
order to get the beds and dispose
of them to suit themselves.

SEVERE TRIM MING,

EDITOR BULLETIN: In reading
the closing paragraph of the Adcer-
tiser's remarks about Arbor Day,
the mention of trimming the trees
on the top of Punchbowl hill for
firewood for bontires, brings to mind
the fact that one early morning a
few months ago l took a ride to the
top of the hill to see how the trees
were getting along, as l have
watched them progressing from
time to time, ever since they were
planted up there, under the personal
supervision of His Majesty; and
was surprised to find great many
of them cut down entirely, besides
what had been trimmed rather
severely. and there were several
cords of the wood cut into A feet
lengths and piled up in even cords
as though for sale. There was no
one there to enquire the reason of,
and it seemed great pity to see
them thus destroyed. A careful
trimming would no doubt have been
benefit but to see them, fine trees,
too, cut down to the ground was a
great disappointment.

EOOKUPU IN THE SCHOOLS.

EDITOR BULLETIN Sir An ar
ticle appeared in your columns of
yesterday stating that the teachers
of the several Hawaiian schools in
the Kingdom had told each scholar
to donate fifty cents toward loo
hupa for His Majesty the King.
This is an error, so far as the Royal
School is concerned, and we there
fore beg of you to give the correct
statement of the real facts, which
are as follows: Our teachers asked
us if we were willing to give hoo
kupu to the King on his Jubilee
Birthday, not only on account of
our aloha to His Majesty, but be-
cause he is an old haumana (aiun-
uus) of our School. Our teachers
told us to give whatever sum we
could afford, even if it was only
five cents. Half a dollar was never
mentioned.
| may add that very liberal sum
was collected and present bought,
which we hope will be acceptable to
His Majesty.
am Sir, yours respectfully,
S. KALAKIELA,
Captain of the Royal, School, Ho-
nolulu.

BARBARIC FURY.
MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS IN AFRICA
BY A SAVAGE KING.

London, October 26th.--Details
have been received of the massacre
of native Christians in Uganda,
Africa, by order of King Mwanga.
The massacre began in June, and
was directly due to the refusal of a
Christian lad, acting us the Kings
page, to commit a crime. Many
Christians were tortured, mutilated
and speared, and thirty-two burnt
alive together, Appeals of the mis-
sionaries for n cessation of the
atrocities were unavailing. The fate
of these unfortunates did not serve
to frighten candidates for baptism,
and within a week after the massacre
many natives were baptized at their
own desire. Leaflets containing eX-
tracts from the scripture and prayers
and songs in the Uganda language
are freely bought by the people,
although their possession involves
the danger of punishment.
The diary of the Bishop of Han
nington, who was put to death by
the King, will soon be published in
London. 1t is athrilling and pathetic
narrative of his EXPERIENCES in Uganda
up to the day of his death.

FRIDAY. NOV. u. 1886.
VENTILATION.

Pure air is essential to the health
and comfort of the individual. The
art of ventilation consists in provid-
ing this commodity in sufficient
quantity wherever it is needed. To,
this end, noXious gases must be dis
placed by the admission of life CIV
ing breezcs. A somewhat similar
process is required in public institu-
tions. The moral atmosphere of an
organization requires an occasional
freshening from the admission of air
from the outside. But it is always
necessary to distinguish between the
invigorating and vitalizing power
of the pure element and the
pernicious effects of foul blasts
from sinks. bitches and slums. The
one purifies; the other vilifies.
With this important distinction in
view, the public will always be
ready to appreciate the services of
the press in ventilatiDg grievances
from whatsoever source they come.
Persons who are deSirous of so con-
ducting themselves and their affairs
as to avoid any causes of annoy
ances to their .neighbors have no
grudge to maintain against friendly
suggestions from public standpoint.
In many cases offences are the re-
suit of inadvertence or possibly
the climatic habit of doing nothing
so prevalent in this latitude. I'm
der such circumstances, a grievance
has only to be named to be removed.
In this particular will be seen the
difference between the dispositions
of men, whether they be public
functionaries or whatever they may
be. Errors in one case will be i'm
mediately corrected, while, in the
other, the more glaring the error,
the more certain will it be of pro-
tracted period of existence.
The press is the great ventilator
of public grievances. Its functions
are well maintained when such
grievances are brought prominently
forward for redress. But the press
lowers itself when it is made a me-
dium of petty revenge by attacking
well regulated institutions for trivial
offences owing to theirprincipalp ro-
moters being objects of personal an
tipathy or perchance engaged in le-
gitimate business rivalry to some
clique, who may happen for the time
to have the handling of a certain
quantity of printers ink at their dis
posal. Wherever public wrong
exists, to hit it and hit hard, is the
prerogative of an independent press.
but when irregularities of the worst
kind are winked at and molehills Of
abuse are magnified into mountains,
it becomes painfully evident thai
"there is a nigger in the fence
somewhere, and exposures or non
exposures alike only recoil upon thu
heads of their authors.

made. When | said that II was
''impossible" for the foreigners re-
siding here, who are opposed to the
present government, to become citi-
zens under the present law, l of
course spoke of them as class, and
taking them as class the statement
is perfectly correct.
| said that rs the law now stands,
the "great majority" of the foreign
ers residing in the country were
"ineligible," and so they are. The
naturalization law as quoted by
your correspondent fully sustains
the assertion. Leaving out of ac-
count the discretionary power vested
in the Minister of the Interior, con-
corning the exercise of which, by
the way, l neither asserted nor
intimated anything, we find that the
law imposes two absolute and un-
conditional requirements first
that the candidate must have re-
sided in the kingdom for five years
OF more, and secondly-that he
must own ",cithoW encumbrdnce,
taxable real estate within the king
DOM"
Now whether we take the whole
body of foreigners resident in the
/ country or whether we take those
who are opposed to the present
government, you know, Mr.. Editor,
, l know, Mrs. Negus knows, and SC
does every one else know, who has
given the matter any attention, that
the great majority of them can.
not respond to the double standard
here set up If Mrs. Negus or any
one else chooses to deny this state
ment as a matter of fact, they can,
of course, do so, but they will search
long and far before they will fine
any evidence by which their position
can be sustained. y.

ANOTHER NOTE ON NEGUS.

EDITOR BULLETIN: To attempt
to gain point in discussion by
misrepresenting or misquoting an
opponent is very poor business,
and furnishes conclusive evidence of
either bad cause or defective
understanding-possibly both. l
am somewhat surprised that your
correspondent, Mrs. Negus, should
have resorted in yesterdays BULLE-
TIN, to trick at once so venerable
and so futile.
After quoting the text of the
Naturalization law and assuming
that the discretionary power vested
in the Minister of the Interior was
what referred to as the principal or
only Objectionable feature of the
law-an assumption entirely gratui-
tous and unsupported-your corre-
spondent proceeds little further on,
to use the following language:
"Can X cite an instance where
such an application from an eligible
individual has been refused? If SO
Il, for one, would wish to have it
brought forward in support of the
statement that it is impossible for
an alien TO become citizen of the
Hawaiian Kingdom"
In reply to this challenge, i have
simply to say that l did not state
that it was 'impossible for an alien
to become citizen" nor did / say
anything from which any reader of
ordinary intelligence could extract
such meaning. i do not feel
called upon to offer evidence in sup
port of a statement which l never
