King Kalakaua and the Rifle Constl-
tution in Hawaii.

Official information has been received In
Washington that King Kalakaua intends
to knock In the head the riffs constitution
forced on him aud hls people in the latter
part Of June, 1887, by the armed mob
known as the Honolulu rifles.
That the present state OF affairs In Hawaii
is uncomfortable and damaging to the vital
interests OF those prosperous and interest
ing islands can easily be understood.
That It is offensive to the amour proprc Of
King Kalakaua and Of his race Is certain
beyond any doubt, and by its duration
nothing good will be derived.
That the heterogeneous formation Of the
present cabinet and its anomalous method OF
governing is the corollary OF the mob rule
In June and July Of 1887, and dc tdcto more
than apparently protracted to the present
day, Is clear as sunshine, and blind ere those
who do not see 1t.
King Kalakaua is a'mau Of proud nature
and OF enlightened views, but rather de-
ficlent 10 Judgment Of human nature. He
allowed himself to be misled, aud became
the prey Of dishonorable liliputiaus who
for many years badly served him at home
aud equally badly represented him abroad !;
and, like tImid rabbits, when the rcdie rG.
| ioaem OF tneir misdoings came, aud the
| oppressed and discontented population
made its powerful voice heard, asking for
| the dismissal OF the bad managers, aud the
armed mob knocxed at the gates OF tue
| royal palace-which unconstitutional pro.
cecding brought the king to the v9rge OF
bis downfall-they deserted him aud left
the kingdom without government, at the
mercy Ct the mob In arms.
In this state OF confu,ion modern Ma
sapiello came out ia the person of an Eng
| lish. Canadian, self styled Colonel Ashford,
and under his dictatorship the present hete.
| rogeneous ministry was forced on the king
| and his people, and not without arrogance,
menace, lawlessness, aud immgnse dam
| age.
The existence Of an Independent aud
strong government In the Hawaiian islands
under a native ruler is an imperative neces-
sity for all, ard more particularly for the
| United States. President Cleveland and
| Secretary BAyard 10 their wisdom, fore
sight, and patriotism, cannot fail to desire,
| appreciate, and uphold It, so far as the In
| ternational laws aud rights will permit,
| and also to exert the beneficial influence
of friendly neighborhood. Therefore, II
King Kalakaua intends to abrogate
the present constitution and promulgate a
better one, which will put an end to mob
rule and establish permanently law aud
order, 1t is the best thing that he can do for
the present, aud most certainly he will re-
ceive the applause from all the well.think-
| ing men in Hawaii and In the United States.
| Long live King Kalakaua.

The journal Of Dietetics, New York, has
the following in regard to the use of al
cohol in cases OF diphtherla, which is worth
being generally known
Alcohol, we make bL.d to say, is the prince
al sutsepticS, ana the most perfect ana re.
liable medicine OF which we have any Enowl-
Cdg IN diphtheria, Diluted with equal parts of
water, and given In small aud repeated doses,
the malignant symptoms OF this most fatal
IpalGdy disappear and cOngalescGuce becomes
assured. II is interesting to note with what
facility the alcohol dissOlyes the diph,leritI,
CXudat!On in the throat, lowers the temper
Gture, and calms the pulse, showing IS de-
sttuclive action upon the germs Of the disease,
which have been absorbed by the glands aud
gained access TO the blood. This remedy has
been used by Us IL the treatment Of dipnthcra
since 1873, during which time no case Of the
diFCOse has slipped through our hands eXcep
in ono solitary instance, and that case was in
UHicWO mOHis before the remedy was given
The remedy Is also prophylaeLic tothe disease
as We have found in many instances, where It
has not been eXpedient to quarantine the
patient.

Is another column we print letter from
the Hon. John s. Henderson, of North
Carolina, In answer to what was said OF
him in the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. We
cannot see wherein Col. Henderson has
bettered his position. The fact that the
judiciary committee struck out some of the
Objectionable parts OF his bill, and that
judge In North Carolina indorsed other
parts of it, does not in any way change the
original statement of the NATIONAL Re-
20 iTt-BLrcks, which 1t proved BY quoting
from the bill, that Col. Henderson had in.
troduced bill which would retain the ma
chlnery OF the internal revenue laws, but
prevent its enforcement. Col Hendersou's
own explanations have fastened this fact
upon him.

EDITOR NArIoSAL REPUBLICAN, In my com
munication Published in the NArioaAL
REPUBLICAN OF Feb. G, did not call At.
tenlion to section Of House bill 43)2 and
section S tot House bill 4305 the two
occur to me thnt anything therein could be ob
leclionable or liable to criticism. As reported
by the Judiciary committee the section reads
''sEC, q That no warraut, in any case under
the Internal revenue laws, shall be Issued
upon m anidayit making chargesiupon infor
nation and belief, unless such affidavit Is
made by collector or deputy collector of in.
tcrpal revenue or by revenue agent; and
with the exception aforesaid, no warrant shall
be issued except upon sworn complaint sett;,
| ing forth the facts constituting the ofcnse and
alleging them to be within the personal
knowledge Of the alliant. And the Uuited
shale clarks commissionerso or other officers for

arrest, by the attorney OF the United States for
| the district where the oiiense ia alleged to
have been committed, or unless tho prosecu-
| tion was commenced by iniormatio or in.
| diciment"
4 letter dated Feb received by me from
| the Hon. Robert p. Dick, Judge OF the United
States district court for the western district of
| Moth Carolina, in reference 10 this section,
says: Section is right and In full accord with
| tnt Tules VI CuuIb thlb ulhtilut VI toutht
prefer to bnve q positive law OF Congress upon
| the subject" Judge Dick is a Rep16 lean an
| Christian gentleman, His ability and integrity
| are uuquestioaed and unquestionablo. The
| latter clause OF the section relating tO fees is
already the law. 1t was inserted substau-
| TALLY, in the general appropriation bill passed
| at the tecond session Of the foriy-nin,h Con.
| gress You also object 10 section OF the orlgl-
| nal bill III. r No. 4302). This section, at my

| drafted by me two years ago at tho special

A. Foreign Opinion of Senator sherman.

From private letter OF January 18th,
written in Germany, to the editor of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, we extract the fol-
lowing: "Have just received John sher-
mans speech: it is perfectly immense. The
Madgeburger Zeitung of Saturday says:
Senator Sherman not only justified his
reputation as skIllful flnancier, but showed
high degree OF political sagaclty.' The
paper further says that 1t is stroke of
statesmanship which will 60 far to settle
the temperance question as far as national
politics are concerned. The European
war cloud seems to have vanished for the
present, but preparations still continue 1t

SENATOR CALL, in his able speech on the
educational bill yesterday, put some Of his
Democratic colleagues in disagreeable
corner He read the records showing how
certain constitutional" foes Of the Blair
bill have voted for appropriations OF a
siruilar nature, and notably how MIR. Beck,
Of kentucky, had been instrumental in
having bill passed to give large sum to
an institution In Kentucky on certain con-
ditions to be performed by the state. The
incident Illustrates anew the well-estab-
l!shed fact that modern Democrats are in
tensely constitutional until the constitution
becomes stumbling block to personal
progress. Then they jump it,
