Reply to Spectator.

MR. EnIToR: In your issue of Nov
ember 9th notice letter from Hilo
signed Spectator. At the session Of the
Appeal Board referred to there were no
spectators. The planters were not there
in thar capacity, it was business with
them. The only one whose course needed
yindicSting was the late assessors, and
think am safe in stating this; he and
Spectator" are enc. He did not need
10 start OF with fling at J. A. NJ, when
he is SO far fron the truth himself. As
10 other plantation about Hilo buys cane
sfrom Portuguese or petty planters, am
che manager spoken OF.
He saws i objected 10 an assessment al
500 per acre on four-ton cane. but would

Those who have never heard Senator
Ingalls, speak cannot appreciate the
misery of being roasted by him. To
read his speeches in cold. raw type
conveys no idea of their bitterness.
He emphasizes his words with his
eyes, which are like the burning COAL
of the popular novels. There is moth
ing cowardlv or evasive about Mr.. In
gals. When he is talking about you
he aims his wonderful eyes at. you,
looks you directly in the face. and be-
ing sure he is right he goes ahead
And the way he goes ahead! He can
say things no human being ever thought
of before. He can shoot more adjec-
tives at a man in minute than could
be found in Webster's dictionary in a
month. He is volcano, and an erup-
ton is to be dreaded and deplored-by
the victim. He is cyclone, and leaves
ruin and disaster in his rhetorical
track, but happily the ruin is generally
deserved and necessary. There is but
one ingalls,. The country couldn't pro-
duce another. The latter fact should
be source of comfort to Senator Vest,
of Missouri, and Senator Blackburn, of
Kentucky.-Nebraska State Journal.
THE following is the exact language
used by Senator ingalls, in the speech
which gave the Democracy severe
case of gripes from which they have
not yet recovered: Horace Greeley!
The Democratic party attempting to
delude the North by nominating and
voting for Horace Greeley to show that
they were reconstructed, that they
would fain fill their bellies with the
husks that the swine did eat, and they
could not; and then the Senator from
Alabama rises to assure us with suf.
fusion of patriotic loyalty that they
voted for Hancock. Why? Mr.. Presi
dent we understand why they voted fol
Hancock. We know why Hancocl
was nominated. We know why that
ally of the Confederacy, Geo. B. Nc
| Ciellan. was nominated, who had just
declared that the war was failure
after he had been trying for two years
to make it so. No, Mr.. President

ONE by one they are getting their
eyes opened and are falling into line,
and, with the exception of the Arkan-
sas City Traveller and State Journal, all
the papers in Kansas are now either
openly opposed to the Springer bill or,
like the little boy, have nothing to say.
The latest is the Ottawa Local-News,
which has been on the fence for some
time, evidently unable to decide:
Some opposition is manifested to the
Springer Oklahoma bill. It is exceed
ingly doubtful whether it will become
a law. There certainly can be no ne

An eastern exchange, in referring to
the American system for detention Of
witnesses, says it is unjust and an OUT
rage on personal liberty. 1t also works
against the detection of crime, for a
witness will prefer to conceal his
knowledge rather than suffer deten-
ton. Contemporary" in an able ar
ticle, says: 1.-The police call this pris-
on house for the innocent. If a man
has the misfortune to be spectator of
an offense and cannot give security for
his appearance at the trial, he has to
be kept in charge by the police. The
average imprisonment Of 81 witnesses
lin one year, in New York City, was
seventeen days. This invasion Of in
dividual rights is general in America,
and is abhorent to all ideas Of demo
cratic sort. There should be a system
for taking at once the affidavits of wit
uesses, which may appear as evidence
in court. The suffering is entailed on
the poor and on strangers; the rich dc
not suffer by it,

Astoundrng presumption.

One would think, to read some of
the recent speeches made by Vest,
Blackburn and other ex-rebels in Con-
gress, that they themselves were the
real sayiors of the Union, and that to
their hands has been committed the
responsibility Of running its affairs
from now on to the close Of its exist
ence. It must be especially entertain
ing to hear these fellows, whe were
generously permitted to go unhung at
the close of the war, sternly Febuking
the G.. a. r. for the many things it has
done in general, and its efforts to keep
disabled comrades out of the almshous-
es of the country in particular. 1t
would fill big book to republish half
the advice, rebukes and warnings Civ
en- to the &. A. r. by these lordiy sur
vivors and ex-traItors, whom common
gratitude for the privilege of retaining
whole necks ought at least make ac-
quiescent in all reasonable movements
to benefit their magnanimous con-
querors.
And not only the Southern leaders in
Congress. but the Democratic press Of
the South is also lavish in its condem-
nation of the old soldier organization.
1t speaks to the G. A. R. as if the
National treasury was the special prop
efty of the Southern States, and efforts
to secure pensions for Union veterans
in the nature Of robber raids upon it.

A Handsome Rndorsement

1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago an unqualified endorsement
of the skill of cur esteemed citizen, W.
II. Long, blacksmith, 10 East Fifth
avenue, as repairer of pIows was
published in this paper, from the
celebrated manufacturers of plows,
Parlin s. Orendorff of Canton, Illinois.
We now publish a similar endorsement
from equally celebrated firm, Deere,
Mansur & Co., of the John Deere plow
works. It is as follows:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 5, 1885,
We find that there is nothing that
insureS the steady running and salts
factory working of a pillow, but the
proper setting Of the share, with the
| required bottom suck, and this can
only be done by blacksmith who has
| large experience in work of this kind.
Our warranty provides that we will
not be responsible for the run of pillow
after the share has been in any Other
] fire than our own, for the reason that
| the large majority of smiths do not
properly reset the shares, and Otter
take the original temper out of then
without properly rehardening them.
From what We know and have heard
of MIR. w. H. Lon1 of Emporia. Kan
saS. we think we can cheerfully rec
emmend to all farmers who are acces
sable to him, to have all work of thi
kind done at his shop, as he seems t.
be very thorough in this branch of hi
work. Respectfully,

THAT the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers were right in their &C
tion on the 20" road is being demon
strated by the courts. In the answer
fled by the Rock Island road in the
suit brought by the Burlington to COM
pei the former company to haul the lat
ter company's cars rather sensational
developments are promised. 1t alleges
that the Burlington company has been
seeking to force the western railroads
into forming general trust" that it
was with this purpose that the Bur
lington cut rates, refused to acquiesce
IN the subsequent restoration of rates,
and finally endeavored to COM
pei the other western railroads to
take such action toward their en-
engineers as would bring about a
general strike and thus consolidate the
interests of the western roads. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. st. John,
general manager of the Rock Island
road, refused to haul Burlington
freight on the ground that it would be
contrary to public interest to risk a
general strike and a total suspension
of traffic in order to accommodate 6
single company and its comparatively
limited number of shippers. If the
statements now made by the Rock
Island company are founded on truth
judicial investigation is certainly de
sirable, and it may result in giving thu
Burlington engineers stronger CLAIM
than ever upon public sympathy.
