BARON WooDcoCK SAVAGE, the American
Chamberlain OF the King of Wurtemberg
who has been forced to resign on account
of the strong feeling of the Wurtem
bergers against him, shows that he is
real Yankee. He characterjzes the editors
of the Nuremberg papers which have
censured him as "the vile vipers of the
reptile press" If he had merely referred
to them as "the hell hounds of the op
position" he weuld not have shown his
real wit and perspicacity.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER Is, 1888.

EVERY here and thereabout these Is
lands there are instances of high-handed
proceedings, and the people living on the
spot dare not complain through the public
press because they fear that some kind
of petty vengeance may be wreaked on
them. In many a place in the out dis
tricts the very tact that man or woman
is suspected of writing to the papers is
sufficient for either of them to be re-
garded as somewhat of social pariah
The consequence is that much unneces-
sary wrong and discomfort is suffered by
people, who, by the exercise Of little
determination, nigh calmly defy those
who annoy them. There is nothing the
petty tyrant breads more than publicity.
In recent article we voiced the COM
plant of certain individuals who felt
themselves ill-treated in the matter of
charges for goods at landings, and our
evening contemporary endorsed the COM
plant. Now we have another little mat
ter Of similar character to refer to.
At Hakalau, in the district of Hilo, the
road descends, on the south side, deep
gulch. The road has been cut down the
face of the bluff, is comparatively mar
row and has steep grade. Though
there are worse places to descend and as
cend, it is by no means pleasant place
to ride over. But this is by no means
the whole of the story. The mill of the
Hakalau plantation is at the bottom of
the gulch. It is necessary to have COM
munication from the top of the bluff to
the mill at the bottom. What has the
plantation done? Why, without any
legal authority, it has laid line of rails
on the government road which runs down
the bluff, rendering what was by no
means comfortable place to ride over,
really dangerous. That no grave acct
dent has ever happened is due to pure
good luck. Now one would think that
when public road had been treated in
this way, the inhabitants of the district
would protest. Oh, dear, no. They
might get into trouble if they did, and so
the encroachment of private concern
upon the public highway has been
quietly acquiesced in for years.
We respectfully beg to bring the mat
ter before the attention of the Minister
of the Interior. If he can spare the time
he might visit the spot himself, if not
there are plenty of people who can give
him accurate information. The rails
should certainly be removed from the
public road. The people dare not COM
plain, will the Minister order the re-
moyal?

eniov his old age In quiet are the causes
which led Mr.. Barnum to close out.
The Treasury Department has pur-
chased $96, 494, $50 worth of bonds at
premium OF SIS, 225, 1851. This is a
net saving to the Government OF interest
alone of nearly $27, 100000. AS the time
for the 4 per cent bonds to mature APP
proaches their premium advances, and
for several purchases the department
paid $1.O9.
National and Political.
Sir Charles Warren, who resigned as
Chief of Police of London, has been
offered the command OF a brigade at
Aldershot. This shows that the Queens
confidence in him has not.abated.
The Russian Government has pro-
tested against the erection by Roumanla
of forts at Forschan and Gialitz.
A serious split has arisen among the
ranks of Gladstone's followers, the sub
iect being the new Irish land bill. A
portion of the Liberal party is in favor OF
buying out the Irish landlords, while the
| others are pledged to their constituents
to. oppose any attempt to use the am
| perial British funds for such purely Irish
purposes.
The Russian War Office is actively
organizing homogeneous plan for de-
| tense in the event of war. The Govern
ment has sanctioned the plan proposed
| by General Gourko to supply Warsaw
with enough provisions for $4,000 people,
exclusive of the garrison, the remaining
350, 900, consisting of Poles or Jews,
| being expelled from the city and left to
| their own devices in the event of war.
| With this decision vanishes the Poles
| last hope of reconciliation.
At meeting of the Budget Committee
! in Vienna, Count Welsherheimb stated
| that it was necessary to expedite meas
ures for enabling the Government to
mobilize the landwehr. Formerly Wig
orous and prompt use of the landwehr
was not contemplated, but the present
military and political situation demanded
either a material increase OF the army or
such effective arrangements that the
landwehr would be able to answer all
calls upon the troops in the field. The
expenditures affixed to the budget for
this purpose would amount to l ,041 400
forms, and included a sum to be used
| for the purchase of rifles, which were
making at the rate of 10000 per month.

studio of a Rising Artist.

A number of ladies and gentlemen
Mr.. D. Howard Hitchcock, jr., whose
arrival in the city from Hilo was recently
announced. The studio is in an upstairs
room of the Spreckels' block The Wis
itors were chiefly those who understood
more or less of the canons of art criti-
cism, and their opinions were freely ex-
pressed but with nothing except admir-
alton. About a score of pictures, chiefly
in oil but number being pastels. were
displayed. There were besides the can
vases many panels and plaques. The
masterpiece is a large oil painting of
Dawn on the Mountains" showing the
SUBMITS of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea,
tipped with the early silver streaks OF
dawn. A bit of the caldera of Kilauea,
allowing glimpse of the fire focus in the
crater proper, appears in the foreground,
with a fine view of the sulphur banks on
the right. 1t is one of the views to be
had from the Volcano House or vicinity.
One of its features is realistic repreSen-
tation of one of the boldest and sharpest
cliffs in the whole vast environs of the
volcano. The colors are softly laid on
ana blended, the atmosphere IS such as
to greatly enhance the natural effect, and
as a whole the painting will be rich
property to its purchaser. "Sunrise on
Mauna Loa," a scene from Hilo Bay, is
for its purpose not a whit behind the
artists own favorite, the first one men
toned, and it would put many a good
Judge to straits to make choice Other
excellent works, which there is not space
to describe, are views of Rainbow Falls
and other of the unique tropical scenery
near Hilo. Mr.. Hitchcock has well i'm
proved his training under Mr.. Tavernier,
as may be seen not only in his volcano
pieces, but in his handling of tropical
foliage = giving ample details while
grouping and massing with the skill of
master. There are some excellent views
of Diamend Head, game panels, land
scapes, etc. The studio will be open to
the public to-day.

OF the several roads are specifically d.

hardest of all At one time twelve motions
were made, one on top of another They
went like this:
"Mr. Speaker, l move to excuse the gen.
tleman from New York, Mr.. Brown, from
voting.'
"Mr. Speaker, l move to excuse the gen.
tleman from Virginia, Mr.. Jones, from
voting on his motion to excuse the gentle
man from New York, Mr.. Brown"
"Mr Speaker, move to excuse the gen.
tleman from Massachusetts, Mr.. Smith,
from voting on the motion to excuse the
gentleman from Virginia from voting on
that question"
So the tangle went on. A school-boys' de-
batting club could not have produced worse
muddle
The scenes during q night session were
sometimes thrilling, more often ludicrous.
At one time when the Speaker pro tenn, Mr..
McMillin, Of Tennessee, had his gavel sus-
pended in mid-air ready to fall with his de-
cision that the House was adjourned, things
waxed warm. The usual way Of adjourn
ing is when motion is made to call for
viva voce VOTE The Speakers first words
after such vote are: 1.-THE yeas Tor the
nays of they are the least bit louder than
the yeas) seem to have It," and instantly
thereafter, If no call for the yeas and nays
is made, he will say; 1.-THE yeas have it and
the House is adjourned"
II the yeas and nays are ordered the long,
weary roll must be called, which takes
about twenty minutes. When Mr.. Nc
Millin's gavel was in mid-air the House was
in perfect pandemonium. He could as east
ly said 1.-THE yeas have it," as not That
would have adjourned the House and closed
the legislative day, for which the cause OF
all tho trouble, the bill to refund to the
States their respective quotas of the direct
war tax of 1861, was the special order. Men
sprang halfway up the steps to the Speak
er's chair Had the gavel fallen Mr.. Nc
Milltn would have been mobbed by one-half
the House and defended by the filibusters.
Funny things occurred when call of the
House was ordered. Under the call the
doors are locked, noses counted and the

VESTIBULE TRAINS TO CHICA-
GO.

The Vestibu!e train is new factor
in western railroad transportation. 1t
is claimed for these trains that on ac-
count of there being connected by steel
hoods all danger Of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train being
practically one long car. tbs Ger
tain that the oscillation of the cars is
greatly reduced, and it is also certain
that the vestibule trains afford the
greatest comfort yet known to travellers.
The adoption of this style of train by
the Chicago, Santa Fe & California rail-
way between Kansas City and Chicago
is strong bid for the passenger traf-
fc between the West and Chicago.
This new road is in many particulars
ahead of its older competitors, and will
undoubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago. tt
