A VIOLENT wind and rain storm
prevailed over q large extent of the
middle and northern sections of this
State, Monday afternoon. Canton suf-
fered most severely. The south wing
of the Hampden Watch Works, just
completed for occupation in that city,
was leveled to its foundation, the west
wing also being damaged to consid-
cradle extent, causing a loss of $50, 900.
Fortunately those in the wings made
their escape into the central building,
which was uninjured. AT various
points great damage was wrought, in

The first election will be held in
Oregon, for member of congress, June
4. This election also involves seat
in the United States Senate in place |
of Senator Dolph. The vote of the
State is about go, 900. In 1886 the Dem
o ;ratic candidate for supreme judge
had 234 majority, and the Republican
candidate for congress 1885, while in
"a Blaine had 2,256 over Cleveland.
Vermont will elect members of con
gress and state officers September 4,
and Maine September 10 Vermont
aud Maine are both Republican states
and there is no element of uncertainty
to impart special interest to their cleo
tions. Alabama holds its election for
state officers August 6; Arkansas. Sep.
tember 8; Georgia, October 8; but
these states are just as certain to go
one way as Vermont and Maine are to
go the other. These are the only state
elections that will precede the great
national event of November 6, when
all the states vote for President and
Vice President, and nearly all choose
their representatives for the fifty-first
congress. Ohio and Indiana have
changed their October day of election
and now vote in November, with the
other states. The Democratic presi
Dental convention will meet at st.
Louis on the 5th of June the Repub
lican at Chicago, nearly two weeks
later, June 10; the Prohibition at In
dianapolis ON the 3Oth of May.
The elections this fall will also de
termine the political complexion oI
the United States Senate, now held by
the Republicans by the narrow mar
gin of two votes. OF the IL retiring
Democrats whose seats remain to be
filled, New Jersey is about the only
doubtful state. Most of the Democrats
whose terms expire next year are from
} the South, where Democratic legisla
lures are almost certainty. Should
the Democrats hold the New Jersey
Senator that would, with the Senator
ship gained last year in Virginia, max,
the Senate a tie. 1t now stands 8!
Republican to 81 Democrats. AS ther'
are 26 Republicans holding over to 5.
Democrats, should the latter retain al
their seats yet to be filled, that woult
give them IA more, making their mum
Der 3S, and the IL coming in from tn
. Republicans would give them tn
f same number. Should the Democrat
: be able to capture Oregon and retail
q New Jersey, that would just revers
the present status of the Senate, max
ing it stand 80 Democrats to 81 Repub
licans. The states yet to elect Senator
to seats now held by Democrats ar
Alabama. Arkansas, Delaware, Geor
1 gia, Louisiana, West Virginia, Nortl
Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee

HAVE PATIENCE.

A supcrabundance of advertising
matter, which cannot be ruled out,
as there is money in it" has kept
us behind with our Legislative re-
port for the last few days, and also
delayed the publication of volumes
of communicated matter. To-day
we have been overwhelmed with
communications, and find it impossi-
BILE to give them all a show in this
issue. A couple OF our own crude
productions have been for the pre-
sent placed aside, to allow as much
room as possible for others. We are
of an extremely obliging nature, and
do our best to accommodate those
who take pains 10 writs for the pub
lie, but cannot possibly do more
than we can. Have patience,
gentlemen. The first to come, has
claim on first consideration. We
hope to overtalic you all in time, the
Legislature included.

IN THE LINE OF PROGRESS.

The Minister of Interior adver-
tises for tenders for filling and grad
ing Halekauila and Alakea streets.
This is a new departure. Not the
idea of calling for tenders, but the
inviting of tenders for work of this
particular nature Hitherto road
making in this country has gener-
ally been done directly by the Gov
ernment, by men in its employ. But
now the Minister appears to have
conceived the idea of getting that
class of work done by contract. The
idea is good, and the new departure
IN the line of enlightened progress.
1t is an undeniablc fact that our
roads cost the public treasury very
large amount of money, an amount
considered by those who claim to
know disproportionate to the results.
The contract system will undoubt-
ed!y lessen the cost, without deteri-
Grating the quality of the work.
Probably at the start, men compe-
petent and willing to undertake such
work may be scarce; but if the
Government establishes the principle
involved in the advertisement above
referred to, contractors will soon be
created, and responsible parties
equal to the task will be forthcom-
ing Some countries, noted for
good roads, do their entire road
building on the contract system. 1t
may be here remarked, that a civil
engineer, specially trained and ex-
perienced in road.grading and road
building, is an officer which might
be added to the Interior staff to the
saving of public funds and for the
advancement of the public convent
eDce.

FROM KOLOA, KAUAI.

III seems strange TO some people,
that Tidal Waves should have ap-
peared at Kauai, especially at Koloa,
while the other islands probably
have been spared from these pheno-
mena. But as strange as this
might appear to some, just as strange
it might appear to the people of
Koloa, that Honolulu should have
been visited by a severe storm Oh
August the 18th, while Koloa on
the same day was enjoying most
splendid weather with light breeze
from North East, somewhat cool
ing the hot atmosphere caused by
the Suns warm rays. The only
change in weather experienced at
Kauai was on Tuesday, August the
14th, when a stiff breeze blew from
South Southwest, accompanied by
heavy showers of rain.
1t would be interesting to know
the correct state of wind and wealth
cr on the other islands, particularly
Hawaii, experienced during the
week of August 9th to August the
18th, during which period Honolulu
experienced severe storm, and
Kauai was visited by Tidal Waves.
Some persons lately arrived, be-
lieved that the Tidal Waves were
perhaps only supposed to have been
such, in reality being only heavy
surf. But that such is not so, is
clearly shown to be the fact that the
waves appeared also at Nawiiwili
and Waimea, although not with
such power and velocity as at Koloa.
Capt. Lawrence, who at that time
was with the schooner "Liholiho'
at Waimea, could not effect land
ing, being compelled to ask one OF
the sailors, a native, to deliver 9
letter by swimming ashore. Later
on, when the Captain again attempt
ed to land, the boat got badly stove
in, leaving large aperture at thu
bow. Besides it will be admitted
that any person if possessed with al
least some experience in seamanshiI
and navigation, can as readily dis
tinguish between Tidal Waves
and the surf, as landsman can dis
tinguish the SUMS rising or set
ting by looking at the direction o
the horizon. BYE-AND-BYE.

OF placing at the head Of the forces
the best military man available, one
who thoroughly understands the
situation, and has the ability, nerve
and decision to cope with any cmer-
gency which an exceptional position
may at any moment submit us to.
The most prominent candidate for
this position is Col Ashford but
the political faction represented by
the Advertiser" have been making
a bitter fight against him, and have
most iniudiciously dragged in poll
tical and personal arguments, which
no fair.mnded or patriotic man
should listen to for q moment. The
facts set forth by Col Ashford in
his interview published in your col
umns on the 7th inst, constitute n
complete answer TO his detractors /;
and not one of those facts have his
opponents dared to deny. But what
is to be thought of men who try to
raise the Grace" issue against him,
by inducing officers of the Rifles to
combine against him, ''becausc Ger
tain of the native officers support
him." and then, when they fail in
that. combine with native officers to
defeat him by native candidate
This is the present status of the
matter, according to this morning S
advertiser"
Now, let us ask in all seriousness,
what security is there for the com
munity with n wooden head" as
commander of the forces? Or man
whose antecedents point toward sub
serviency to prerogative? What is
Major Nowlein's claim? Efficiency
No one pretends to think so. AS
Major Hebbard is out of the race
it is not worth while to enquire as tC
his military qualifications; though
who can forget the sickly existence
of the Rifles while he was in com
mand of the single company o
which they were then composed
And who has failed to see the rapiC
deterioration and disintegratioI
which have taken possession of th,
corps since Col. Ashford's resigna
ton left the Major as commanding
officer?
On the other hand, no one Ques
tions Col. Ashford's fitness fer The
position. And at a time when th'
conditions of our mixed population
warn us to adopt and act upon the
motto: SEArPER PARATUs-which h,
as the organizer and commander o
our corps, placed upon the Rifles
shield, let US have a man with a
least a little brains backed by some
military experience.
