OF Course He wont Run.


uohou WIS hlpihiiiS about tiie iV-
port that Hutton, the present rep
resentative of the district, was
gong to run as an Independent.
He said he did not believe there
n particle oftruth in the state
ment. There is, he says, nc dlssat-
isfaction among the Democrats in
in the district.
Col. Norton has not heard from
Hutton, but he has the assurance
of Judge Robinson, and his friends
accept the results ofthe convention.
"HUTToN TRUE BLUE"
From the 81. innis Republic.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. "a
Statements have been published
in Missouri to the effect that Rep
re~sentative Hutton either had an
nounced, or was about announce,
himself as an independent candi-
date for Congress in the Seventh
District. Such statements are
wholly unauthorized, and do Mr..
Hutton the grossest injustice. He
has received letters from various
persons in the district suggesting
to him that he should make an
independent race, but it is to the
credit of Mr.. Hutton that he has
promptly answered each and every
letter received on this subject, and
has stated in the most unqualified
terms that he would not, for one
moment, countenance any such
proceeding, and furthermore, that
he intended, as soon as he can get
away from Washington, to do his
utmost in the campaign for Mr..
Norton, the regular Democratic
nominee in the district. In a con-
versation to-day with The Republic
correspondent, Mr.. Hutton sale
that for more than twenty years
he had by action and speech fought
to the best of his ability, all in
dependent movements. He has
always been a firm believer il
party organization, and would dc
nothing to break down the regular
nominee of the Democratic party
Mr.. Hutton further added that hi:
friends understood perfectly wei
long before the convention me
that he was not a candidate
for denomination, and no ont
in the district would more
earnestly support the nominee
than he. 1t is hardly worth motto,
ing such silly rumors as the one
which has just been put in circul
alton concerning Mr.. Hutton, bu'
lest some one might credit this
foolish talk, of course, it become:
necessary for him to give ar en-
phatic denial to the report. Mr.
Hutton is a true blue Democrat
and would be about the last mar
in the State to enter into an indie
pendent movement against thu
party with which he has beer
identified so many years and which
has honered him by sending hin
to Congress. If there r men il
the district who imagine they car
organize a bolt or serious disaffec
ton, they cannot count upon thu
present representative from the
Seventh district to aid or encour
age them in any way, shape o.
form.

A Bad Case of Flux Cured.

My little boy about eight months
old, was taken with fux. After
several days, we commenced giving
Char .berlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy according to
directions. We were very uneasy
about the child, and sent for a
physician. I told him what we
had been doing, and showed him
medicine. He examined it, and
told us the best thing we could do,
was to go ahead and give the
remedy. We used about half of a
small bottle, and cured the child,
who was so low ,thathe had no use of
himself. We thought SO much of
your remedy that we would let no
one else have it. l told my wife a
few days ago that 1 must write,

had done. G.. w. Lugar, Zion's

TERRIBLE BALLOON ACCIDENT.

A terrible balloon accident is re-
ported from Canada. At the Cen
ural Canada Exhibition at Ottawa,
one of the attractions was balloon
ascent in which Professor Williams,
after reaching height of 10O0ft.,
was to descend by means of a para
chute. Fully 5000 persons were in
the grounds to witness the perform
ance. Many persons were holding
on TO the balloon while it was being
inflated and waiting for the word to
be given to let go. Among them
was young man named Wensley,
swho was holding on to rope run
ming around the bottom of the bal
loon. When all was ready the
Professor shouted, "Let co." when,
to the surprise of everyone, Wens-
ley still kept his hold on the rope,
deaf to all the cries of the crowd to
drop. After he had reached the
height of about fifty feet he shouted
twice, appearing TO have realised the
perilous situation he was in. 1t
was, however, too late. While the
balloon was rapidly ascending he
kept his grasp and endeavored to
raise his leg through the rope to
obtain firmer support. After he
had reached height of about 1000
feet he was seen by the breathless
crowd below to draw himself up as
if making last effort to save him
self, and then his hold relaxed, and
with lightning speed he descended
towards the earth. AT this point
the excitement among the people
was beyond description; women
tainted, and panic was but mar
rowly ayerted. During the first
part of the fall Wensley came feet
foremost, but he suddenly turned a
somersault, and struck the earth
with outstretched arms and legs
about 300 yards from the spot where
! the balloon assembled, The body

ASSISTED LANDINGS.

A refreshing article appears in the
Advertiser about assisted land
ings that is, places along our
coasts made available as landings
partly by private and partly by
public money. There are many
such landings in the Kingdom. AL
though they have been assisted by
Government funds, they are private
property. "a tariff is establish
ed," (by the owner) "and rates arc
charged for the getting of freight
up the cliffs" and our contempo-
rary asserts that these rates are eN-
orbitant. Similar information comes
to us from other sources. The
advertiser" thinks the Govern
ment should "step in and regulate
the prices charged for getting
freight into the hands of the indi-
viduals to whom it belongs" That
is about our opinion, only we would
go farther and say that these land.
ings, where needed by the public,
should become Government property
for the public benefit.

iorities. This cause is such, that
there can be no failure. If we are
going hand in hand, l cannot see
why "there must be a terrible strug-
gle, and it will be fortunate if it
terminates peaceably." Even if
(what, however, never can or will
be, but l say so simply as an illus
tration) our cause should not sue
ceed at that time, l suppose, and
hope, that we shall be imbued with
sufficient feelings of patriotism and
true loyalty TO the principles of
Justice and Liberty, as to cause us
TO submit to majority ruling.
These are certainly the sentiments
of true Liberty and Rights, while
any other way would be only OPP
pressive and tyrannical. Let us
beware of all "Sand Lot Politics"
In this community.
Before closing / should like to
allude to few much needed re-
forms in our laws. All our efforts
TO free ourselves from the Chinese
Plague are well enough, as far as
they 90. But this is not all. We
have not only to compete against
the Chinese, but against all kinds of
imported labor. There are hundreds
of men willing to work, but who are
unable to obtain it, Notwithstanding
that thousands of others are brought
from other countries. If these
thousands had known the true state
of affairs before they embarked at
the port of their departure, proba-
bly, not one tenth of them would
have consented to bind themselves
"body and SOUL" like slaves for a
number of years, TO labor hard, so
as to enable them TO eat slice OF
bread by sweat of their brow or to
receive compensation for their labor,
sufficient TO prevent themselves from
starvation and still not enough to
entirely prevent occasional pangs of
the latter. These people have been
certainly imposed on, while the
bonds of their slavery thanks to the
law of this enlightened and civilized
country, are so tight, that they can
not free themselves from them.
These people, as soon as their terms
of slavery expire, will help to swell
the number of the idle and unem'
ployed. Have we, the voters, no
the right to free ourselves from this
evil? / say, yes. Let us try ant
pledge our candidates at the mex
general election to abolish the laws
relating to the Contract Labor
System This is the only way tc
compete against this evil. Let thi
matter be agitated to the utmost

Circular to Government

In the statutes relating TO the
Bureau of Public Instruction it is
provided that no person in holy
orders or minister of religion shall
be eligible to fill the Office OF Pre-
sident of the Board of Education or
of Inspector General. The evident
intention of the law sis that there
shall be no religious teaching in the
Public Schools supported by the
Government, but that, being intended
to meet the wants of all classes of
the people, they shall be strictly
secular.
The same statute says: "rhe OBJ
ject of the Common Schools, sup
ported by Government, is to instruct
the children of the nation in good
morals" ETC., under which will be
included honesty, truthfulness, char
ity, temperance, obedience parents
and teachers, Kindness, chastity, gra-
titude, control of the temper and
passions, benevolence, generosity
cleanliness, helpfulness to the weak
and poor, avoidance of profanity and

A MIXTURE.

EDITOR BULLETIN On reading q
translation of a certain editorial of
one of the Honolulu papers, l could
not help TO express the desire to
shake hands with its writer. The
style and independence of the arti-
Gle savors very much of the enlight-
ened ideas of that glorious and free
country, the country where the stars
and stripes float, and where the
eagle of liberty spreads its protect
ing wings over community of sixty
millions of people. Undoubtedly
the writer has been in the United
States, for the argument he uses
savors very much of the political
customs of that country. 1t would
be, however, better if the above
article were written in little differ
ent style then ga la Dennis Kear-
ney.' Or did the writer perhaps
intend to give only little high
coloring? don't suppose he in
tended to have it considered as
game of "bluff. "Bluff' is GER
tainly very entertaining game, but
then "bluff' will not always work,
Notwithstanding the fact that it has
succeeded once OH former occa-
sion most admirably.
If our Portuguese brethren wish
to see one of the men-of-war of their
nation in this port, we don't see
why this wish should not be graft
fed. Undoubtedly plenty of other
people would also rejoice to see q
few of His Portuguese Majesty's
Dollars circulating at this place.
That the general election of 1889
will be hotly contested, is without
the shadow Of doubt. do GER
tainly hope that it will be so, and
that the sentiments of the people
will be ascertained' on the "Chnese
Question. Let our Portuguese
brethren, let all those of other ma
tionalities who believe in protection
of white labor and in popular
government and personal rights,
freedom of action and speech-I
say, let all these join hands and
fight their common cause. Our
cause is the cause of Right and
Justice, cause where there can be
no failure, if we stand united.
Unity is strength. The truth of
these words has been proven more
than once.
Let us use all our efforts to have
at the next general election only
those candidates elected, who will
solemnly pledge themselves to legis-
late against the "Cmnese Curse"
Let the people show their will then

didates, and by helping To elect
