GROWING WORSE EVERY MOMENT.

WASHINGTON, May 81, II p. M.-Gen.
Sheridans condition has been growing
worse and worse, and tonight the hope that
he would be able to rally has well-nigh
been abandoned. There have been several
occurrences of heart-trouble Each attack
has apparently left him weaker than the
nrev;ous one, and it is becoming more and
more difficult to rally him. His breathing
has become labored and heavy, and his
lungs are gradually getting more and moro
oeIematous. The presence of the oedema
hos also been again noticed in the legs
and this indicates that the cir
cnlation of the blood is growing
more feeble. One of the physicians, in
summarizing the case, said: Gen. Sheridan
is extremely ILL., He is in very dangerous
and very critical condition. He has been
getting better and worse for the last week
or ten days, and tonight he is very bad"
PERFECTLY CONSCIOUS.
Gen. Sheridan remains perfectly con-
scious and rational, and suffers no pain ex-
cept that arising from his difficulty in
breathing. He has shown remarkable
degree Of vitality and composure, and
has kept up his spirits remarkably.

A Local Grievance.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your paper of Oct.
23d 1 saw in the Educational Notes, /"
tenders wanted for new school house,
Kaanapal, District of Lahaina, Maui.
[ think those public notices should be
given out so that mechanics who, reside
on the other islands would have time to
present estimates and thereby be able to
compete with their Honolulu brothers in
all public improvements.
One large school house has just been
built in the same district, but by what
form of contract we fail to know; posi-
bly, by the same form of contract that
one of the road board men had in build
ing stone wall round some land he has
just bought, and that we understand was
a company concern. l will tell you all
about it, by and by-how much money
it cost the public. MECHANIC.

Mill Feeders Again.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you kindly allow
me few lines of your valuable space to
say that have no intention of entering
on an extended argument on the merits
of feeders for 2-roller mills whether pat
ented or otherwise, but that my object
and intention in asking you to insert the
letter of acceptance from Mr.. Cornwell
was to refute the statement made by in
terested parties, that mills as manufac-
,tured by the Risdon Iron Works would
not feed. The work done by these mills
speaks for itself to anyone who will take
the trouble to go and see, and should
Mr.. Young visit the mill at Waikapu he
will probably be as much surprised as
the owner was. J. N. S. WILLIAMS.

CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the
statements made, or opinions expressed by our
correspondents.

That Prisoners Death at HanaIei.
Mr.. EDITOR: In your local items of
last week you note the report of the
death OF prisoner named Mahoe, in the
Hanalei lookup.
The man was found dead in the cell in
the morning. An inquest was held and
without calling for any medical testi-
mony, verdict was given of death from
opium.
The man was buried and the matter
passed over with the slight notice that
he died at Hanalei.
The questions arise: Did he die from
opium poisoning? Was it taken with
suicidal intent2 Was it given him
maliciously by some one else? Why
was this man "a prisoner) under remand
on a charge of burglary allowed to roam
around the country SO as to allow him to
obtain opium?
The keeper of the Hanalei lookup is
VIGOROUSLY slack in his duties, and sew
eral prisoners have escaped while under
his care-to say the least very SUSPECT
Ously. The man is still retained in office
and nothing said or done.
This should not be. But until there is
a radical change in the administration of
the affairs of the Police Department
in Hanalei no one can hope for better
things.
The responsible head of the police
should be a man of some energy and not
a mere figure kept in Office by private
influence.

THE DAILY
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1885,

ONE of the most convincing proofs that
could be offered of the strength of the
Reform party, and of the hold it is sup
posed to have on the people is found in
the eagerness of aspiring politicians and
would-be leaders in public affairs to be
identified with that party, and to be re-
garded as prominent and influential in
its councils. This was very noticeable
at the last nominating convention. Men
whose personal character and habits,
whose political and social affiliations, to
ay nothing of their known and openly
expressed opinions, forbid the idea OF
their feeling any particular interest IN
good government, or having any real
sympathy with the avOwed principles OF
the Reform party, rushed to the front,
and busted themselves with organizing
caucuses, getting up tickets, and pulling
wires for the election of themselves and
their friends to the convention, with an
alacrity which could hardly have been
born of regard for the public veal. We
do not criticise the general composition
of the convention, which was unques-
tiOnably sound, the great majority of the
delegates being good men and true, who
were fairly representative of constituents
who believe in reform, and who have
worked earnestly for it's accomplishment.
But there were some men there, and
cutting rather a conspicuous figure at
that, who, whatever the regularity
of their credentials, were in reality
as much out of place as the
editor of the ADVERTISER would be
in a political pow-wow at the Palace.
Now human nature is about the same
wherever we find it. Politicians in Ha-
wall are no more anxious than they are
elsewhere to identify themselves with
losing cause, or to struggle for promi-
hence in party which has accomplished
all it is ever likely to, which has outlived
its usefulness, and is about to vanish
away. These peoples words may be
brave words, certainly they have been,
in many instances decidedly bitter ones,
but their acts give the lie to their words
as fatty as the lie was ever given any
where. They may denounce the reform
movement as farce and fraud, they
may abuse the Ministry and the Legisla
ture, they may say the whole thing from
top to bottom is 'rotten," which adjec-s
tive, by the way, is one of their favorites,
and they may declare that the next gen.
eral election will see the Reform party
wiped out of existence. At the same
time they show by their conduct that
they consider recognized standing in
that party to be not only proper, but
necessary thing for gentlemen having
political aspirations, and the control of
the party organization essential to the
success of their schemes and the grind
ing of their various little axes. This is
one of those cases in which actions speak
louder than words.

Supply Company" This subject OF
labor has up till now been one OF the
most conspicuous in the deliberations
and work of the organization. The diff
culties to be encountered in getting labor
having become greatly reduced, as we'll
as methods and cooperation with the
Government systematized in that regard,
the corporation has come to find its occu-
patton largely gone. It was therefore
evident that without securing more work
to do, the company would for lack OF
exercise speedily pass through all the
stages of fatal decline. With the expan-
sion of the associations effort new
method of raising the requisite funds has
ments. had developed into virtually
voluntary taxation, for although the dues
were enforceable by virtue of chartered
powers, there seems to have been a
delicacy on the part OF the execu-
tive to collect them from individual
members. Under the new system
planting and milling concerns, DESTROYS
and most of them will be SOTO share
mon ends, are required to pay $25 per
annum to the associations treasury. AS
this is but trif1e to any of such corpora
tons and not personal tax, there
should be no such thing as arrears from
that source of revenue. Again, every
body who pays the annual fee of S., no
matter whether engaged in sugar pro-
ducing or not, will be admitted to all the
privileges of membership. The sugges-
tons made by the committee give some
idea of the elasticity of the new functions
of the organization. There is room in
the company now for all who think they
can make two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before, or do anything to
promote in any way the industrial life
pany becomes what it ought to be under
It's new lease of life, it should do well
what the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural
Society has but inditferently performed
anu 1dIuIIy dGIeIlpISu. 4IoTo are 4ucS-
tions which neither of these societies
have given much if any attention to, but
which have the most vital bearing upon
the future of agricultural enterprise.
Within the hour that pen has been put
to this article, a small landholder in the
suburbs has called our attention to such
a question. 1t is that of insect pests
upon vegetation, and this mans expert
ence-to be related, we hope, by himself
is one of just those things calculated
to be of great service when disclosed to
such an organization as the new agricul
tural society, there to be intelligently
discussed.

AN enlargement of scope, although on
the basis of the original organization, has
been resolved upon by the Planters
Labor and Supply Company. The es-
sential thing being the functions of the
association, it was not necessary to incur
the inconvenience of getting a new
charter, with all the consequential
trouble and expense. What is impor-
tant has been agreed to, in the resolution
to enlarge the field of operations. The
fact is, moreover-as Col. Spalding stated
to the convention-that this departure is
simply return to first intentions in the
incipiency of the company. 1t was the
original purpose of those who started the
institution that its objects should COM

as well as manufacturing industries in
