THERE is a great deal of spasmodic
complaint arising from time to time, In
the Legislature, the papers and CONVEX
sation, about Capitalization. A good
deal of this, We imagine, springs entirely
from the prejudice and jealousy with
which towns are often regarded from the
country districts. On the other hand,
some of it points to a grievance not
without foundation. OF course, such a
thing as Capitalization proper is impOssi-
BILE in a country so small as this one.
But there is such thing as spending
too much OF the public money in Homo
lulu, and too little in the outlying dis
tricts where so much of it is raised.
This has previously been apt to be the
case, not so much, we think, because
Honolulu, as the capital of the country,
has got more than her share of useful
improvements, but because most of the
money which has been wasted has been
wasted in Honolulu, to the damage and
neglect of the rest of the country The
headquarters of the army and navy have
always been here, for instance, and the
country districts have rarely been glad
dened by the glitter of an epaulet.
There is no objection to the country
districts having as complete control
over their own affairs as is consistent
with the general duties of the Govern
ment, and we should advocate heartily
any measures calculated to bring about
that result We do not believe in the
election of Magistrates anywhere, but
perhaps there would be no objection, for
instance, to the Postmaster, Tax As
SCISSOR and Tax Collector being elected
in the respective districts where they
serve. 1t is eminently desirable that
every district should govern itself in all
matters which concern itself only, and
any measure tending to bring about
this result would be a step in the right
direction.

rhe1 wIll nnd They Won't.

So far as the newspapers reflect the
state OF the Republican mind, most Re
publicans accept as final the deClinatior
OF Mr.. Blaine. Many Of these accept
reluctantly, but they see no escape
Others insist that Mr.. Blaine shall not be
consulted, holding that the party still
has right to call on him, and that il
conscripted he will not fail to respond
The delegation from Mr.. Blaine's own
State is represented Us taking him at his
word, not because they wish to, but be
cause they think they must. The Maine
men are right. Any other course atthi'
time might seriously embarass the Re
publican party. 1t certainly would be
paying Mr.. Blaine a poor compliment
for it would be direct challenge OF his
sincerity.
Mr.. Blaine is altogether out OF the
possibilities, taken out by his own net
in the face OF the certainty Of n nomina
ton. They are not his best friends who
want to force him to decline to do the
will OF the party.

In this vicinity strawberries BIOS
somed well and gave promise Of good
crop; but the frequent and heavy ruins,
and the lack of warming sun, have 30
put back the fruit that the yield will
not be up to that oflast yearin quantity
or quality. Cherries are showing well
for large crop OF fine fruit. Pears
have their years, and this seems to be
one OF them. The fruit is forming well
and the trees are well laden. Apples, n
fniiure Inst year, will be plentiful md Of
good quality, provided, of course, that
they DO not overtaken by any mishap.
Goosbcrries and currants promise a
larger and finer yield than for long
while. Peaches are plentiful and the
quality bids fair to be unusually fine.
They are getting on n good coat of iuzz,
after which time they are thought to be
safe from any belated frost that may
happen their way. All OF which is as
comforting to the dwellers in the town as
to the farmer who caters to their taste.

ANOTHER NAIL

A Wheeling Mans Invention-Bound ia
Prove Success.
Jackson, o., Standard
Mr.. ]. B. Hastings, our nail mill man,
handed us a wire nail, the other day,
one of the first made on his patent nail
machine. The nail, although made from
poor material and by, as yet, hardly
perfect machine, was n very nice nail
and speaks well for tho invention. Mr..
Hastings machine is much more simple
in its workings than. other machines,
aud it is claimed by the inventor, will
turn out six times us many nails.
Through the combined workings OF the
machine with one movement, It heads,
grips, and points the nail, dropping it
out perfect, His first machine, put up
in the Hamden Foundry and Machine
Shops, is made to cut four nails ut u clip,
and he intends to put up the next one
to cut eight, Several machinists who
have seen the machine have compli-
mented Mr.. Hastings on his invention,
and say that il is bound to prove sue
cess, and to produce u revolution in the
manufacture OF wire nails.

Mr.. George William Curtis address
before the National Civil Service Reform
League, was, OF course, very polished
effort, but he said nothing remarkable
and eyaded discussion OF the antics of
the present administration in master
full manner.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Cur
tbs after participating in the delibera-
tons OF the convention TINT nominated
Blaine, deserted the cause and went over
to the enemy. His chief plant in the
campaign was civil service reform, and
he declared that Cleveland was the en-
bodiment and personifcation OF the
MuGwumpian god.
His conduct towards the Republicans
has not awaited him or the civil service
reform cause which he advocates, any
thing. He, like many others, were in
weighed into the belief by the protesta-
tons and promises Of Cleveland that figs
could be gathered from thistles and re-
form grapes from thorns.
Now that Mr.. Curtis fingers have been
burned in pulling the presidential chest
nut out OF the fire for Cleveland, he
avoids IN honest confession of dep.
pointment by cautiously admitting that
| br. Cleveland "has done much and has
permitted much that every friend Of re-
form must deplore," but he hastens to
add that the President "has maintained
all that had been gained in the examin'
atoms; he has extended the range OF the
classified service, and he has revised and
strengthened the rules"
This statement very adroitly wells
what Mr.. Curtis really feels on the sub
ject. OF late Cleveland has been dump.
ing out Republican otEiceholders at d
rate that has left very few OF the Old
Guard in service, and this without any
other reason than that tho places were
wanted for hungry and, generally, in
competent Democrats.
This is a campaign year and it does
not require the wisdom OF Solomon to
discover the trueinwardness OF Mr.. Cur
it's avoidance OF the record OF the adj
ministration on civil service reform.
He is for Cleveland, "innocuous desue-
tude," "pernicious activity" and all.

In response to public demand the
City Council of Chicago has adopted a
now liquor ordinance, not so radical as
some desired and yet, We infer, rather
beyond the general expectation. Here
arc the principal points Of the new
measure:
/. No license to keep dram-shop, not
already located. shall be granted to keep
such adram-shop within 200feet ofeither
side Of the main entrance Of any build
ing which is exclusively used for n
church, synagogue, public or parochical
school, providing that such school has a
bona fide average daily attendance OF
fifty pupils for the last school month
prior to the'date OF said application.
9. Provided further, that hereafter in
nil blocks used for residence purposes no
license shall be granted to a dram.shop
not already located, unless such applica-
ton be accompanied by the written per.
mission OF the owners Of the majority OF
the feet OF property frontage facing on
either side OF the street on which said
block faces, and whGreupon 1t is pro
posed to locate said dram-shop.

furnish bond Of $500 that he will keep

While there is life there is hope, but
the thread is very slender in the case of
General Sheridan. Recovery in such a
case MS his is very rare, for the derange-
ment is very great. The Udema, of
which the physicians speak, is caused
by the imperfect mechanical action OF
the valves OF the heart. The blood which
should 90 into the general circulation is
damned back into the lungs. This pre-
vents the continued supply of fresh air
to the lungs. This is why the physi-
clan. induce the patient to inhalc pure
oxygen, their hope being to keep him
alive long enough for nature to restore
the heart to something like its normal
function.
