LET us not be understood as adVOcat-
ing the policy of standing still or remain
ing weakly content with what has been
accomplished. We are only trying to
indicate a solid ground of union on which
the Reform party can all rest in spite OF
endless difference of opinion as to lndl-
vidual measures. We have not a grain
of respect for the unanimity which comes
from the lack Of convictions, the peace
ingloriously purchased by the sacrifice
of principles. On the contrary, We are
trying to show that unanimity is only
obtainable by and through common
principle There is salvation in that
ard that only A house divided against
itself cannot stand, and if the men who
carried the Revolution through are
going to lose sight OF every common in
terest and conviction because they can
not agree on temperance or Chinese
legislation, there is no hope of any
further political progress; there is little
enough OF keeping what has already
bfen gained A solid front against every
one who does not believe in government
by the people, in economical admins
tration, in a prOhibitive tariff on fuss
and feathers-and we are safe Beel
zebub is the Prince of the powers of this
world, and like the English, he never
knows when he is beaten.

IF the conditions thus indicated-the
uniting on common basis, the making
a common front against common foe
can be realized, we may confidently
hope for great deal more than merely
keeping what we have got. There are
evils enough crying to every one with
ears and demanding to be remedied.
We may dare to hope for a great deal OF
legislation of the remedial sort, such as
new provisions for the purity of elections,
for some legislation of more positive
sort, and perhaps for some further
changes in the constitution. No doubt
some changes in the constitution are
eminently to be desired, and should be
effectuated as soon as may be without
postponing more pressing measures, and
without endangering the political stabil-
ity of the country.

To THE rumOr that the King proposed
rem,in on Hawaii during a portion OF
the present Legislative Session, the
thought must at once have occurred to
others, as we'll as ourselves, g Some
enemy hath done this" Even to sug-
gest that the King would in that way
attempt to pervert and nullify legislation
is extremely injudicious and damaging.

perfectly embodying the true politi-

copy of the Session Laws OF 1887 to be

stated that he was not aware of any laws
having been SO supplied.

THE country has never waited with a
more general expectation and interest
for Legislative session than it has de-
voted to the one which begins this
morning. That is no miracle, for there
has been in the latter history OF this
country no more important gathering,
unless we except that of the very same
body, last year. The public prosperity
depends largely on the conduct of this
body. Ii they are intelligent, public
spirited and united, it is not unreason-
able to hope that the public credit,
reputation and solidity will be COM
pletely restored. If they are miserably
divided, short-sighted or venal, every
thing which the 3Oth of last June gained
bids fair to be lost, and the country will
simply relapse into the old unspeakablv
bad condition. We do not care to be
mired in that slough again

No Government at all is infinitely to
be preferred TO Government on the plan
which has been followed in these islands
for so many years past. 1t is the simple
duty of the Legislature to see that there
is no return to the old conditions. If if
is successful in that, it will be successful
on the whole, even though not Il single
clause in our somewhat hastily drawn
constitution be altered, nor single new
reform be carried through. Deficient
and imperfect as our new political ar
engagements may seem when considered
from an ideal point of view, they are yet,
in spite of every deduction, not merely
excellent in themselves, but an immense
advance on what we have had. They
are excellent in themselves, because
they contain the principles Of constitu-
tional government, because they refer
the essential power to its only true
source, the popular will. Our constitu-
ton does not express the idea without
some limitations, it is true, but

RESOLUTIONS.
Minister Green read the following

Minister Green read the following:
WHEREAS, The business of the Extra
| ordinary Session of the Legislature has
been concluded; therefore be it
| RESOLVED, That a select committee be
| appointed to wait upon His Majesty the
| King to inform him that the Legislature is
ready to be prorOgued, and that it will
await the royal pleasure for propagation in
| the legislative hall of AliiOlani Hale.
Noble Widemann moved that the reso-
luton be adopted with an amendment,
that three of the Ministers constitute the
required committee.
Minister Thurston said the Ministers
| had no desire to shirk duty, but he
thought it would be better that the usual
| custom be followed of appointing the
committee from the Mobiles and Repre-
sentatives, at least one from each body.
The amendment was put and lost.
The motion was adopted.
A committee, in terms of the resOlu-
ton, was appointed consisting of Mobiles
Wilder and Dole, and Rep. Kawainui.
The committee retired TO execute their
commission.
On motion of Minister Ashford, the
House took recess fifteen minutes.
On the House resuming. the report
of the committee that had just waited on
His Majesty was given verbally by No
bic Wilder to the effect, that the com
mittee had communicated to His Ma
jesty the terms of the resolution of the
House, and that it had pleased His Ma
jesty to say that he would communicate
his intention in the matter to his Min
iBters.
The Minister OF Interior said the Cab
met would ascertain what His Majestys
desire in the matter is, and moved the
House take recess to Il SO o'clock.
Noble Widemann wanted to know
what all this was about why the House
had been called to adjourn, adjourn, adj

have been cut and dried before the
House was called together This is
playing with the dignity of the House.

cnnt. Custer and the ChIeG

1T is source of wonder TO the
whites, " SAYS Dir. McFadden, that the
bodies of Gen. Custer and his brother
Tom were not mutilated in the massacre.
II is we'll known that the treacherous
chief Rain-in-the- Face had sworn that he
would eat Tom Clusters heart. The way
he came TO make that threat was this.
Rain .in-the- Face had committed some
depreciation in Nebraska for which he was
wanted by the United States Officers
horse stealing. think it was. He took
refuge at Standing Rock. and Gen. Gus
ter sent a sergeant with detail from
Fort Lincoln TO bring him in. The
sergeant was compelled 10 return with
ont his prisoner The general then said
to his brother, Tom, 60 to Standing
Rock and bring back Rain-in-the-Face or
leave your own body there. The cap
tain, who never refused to obey orders,
started on his crrand with detail OF cav
airy.
1T so happened that the day nc
reached Standing Rock was the day on
which ratiOns were issued ut the agency.
There were fully 5000 Indians at the
place Capt. Custer placed his detail so
rs to surround tie trading post. He dis
mounted and. with a revolver in one
hand and a sword in the other, entered
the building. When he got inside he
asked Where is iiam-in-ihe-facet'
Silence fell on the room, which was
crowded with friends Of the chief. The
captain then told the Interpreter 20 point
out Rain-in-thc-Face. This was done,
and stepping up - him the intrepid
cavalry officer placed the muzzle OF his
revolver at the Indians head and said:
" 'Rain-in-the-face want You. II
YOU make an attempt to escape I'll shoot
You. If your friends interfere | will
blow Your brains out. have but one
life to lose, and if they shoot me you will
die also.

4 Highly Profitable Wrath.

During the civil war a great fair was held
in New York for the benefit Of the sanitary
commission which did a deal Of good for
the Union soldiers. A large amount Of
money was raised by private subscription.
Vanderbilt and A. T. Stewart were ap-
preached, and each said he would give rs
much as the other This word was carried
backward and forward again and again, with
no practical result. At last the commodore
lost his temper at Stewards delays, and put
down his name for round 800 cO The
merchant did the same, but was said to be
exceedingly augry at the rival millionaire.
How very angry they must both have been.
But it was a highly profitable wrath.-Paui

The effect of waist belts upon the work
done by a healthy heart has been accurately
studied by means Of IN instrument called a

showed that with but a little pressure upon
the abdomen the abdominal vessels are
capable Of containing all and more than all
the blood in the organism. Slight compress

the artcrial supply, drive out from the alb
dominal veins and -enous caplllarles large

tinues, be Of use for the other regions Of the
