Grand Army of the Republic man and is
highly esteemed. IT is absolutely neces-

acceptable to the Grand Army
of the Republic. The president
returns tomorrow and will have con-
ference with Noble, and it is expected
that new pension commissioner will be
appointed in a few days. Noble says
Warner has not officially declined, but 1t

WHAT ARE GROWING CROPS?

Last March the Legislature of
California passed an act defining
vines and nut bearing trees as grow
ing crops, and, therefore, exempt
from taxation. In defiance of this
law, the State Board of Equalization
has issued a circular to County As
SCISSORS requiring them to assess the
same as improvements. The Con
stitution demands the assessment of
all property, with certain exemptions,
among which are growing crops.
The Board, however, holds that
growing crops have received judicial
determination"
1t is difficult to surmise the ground
for such construction of the Court,
as vines and nut-bearing trees do
produce yearly crOps-as improve
ments they would count for nothing
independently of the crops which
they yield. The difference, however,
between crops of wheat and grapes
is apparent. The harvest of wheat
sweeps away the producing stalk
also, while the vines which yield one
crop of grapes may answer for the
next. Yet it is the grape rather
than the vine which is valuable. AS
vineyards comprise a respectable
portion Of the geography of Cali
fornia and considerable moneyed
Interests are at stake, it is by nc
means certain that their owners will
accept as final either the authority
of the State Board of Equalization
or the judicial decision on which il
Is based.

The wouId-be Assassin Nearly Torn to
Pieces by the Crowd.
Great excitement was caused IL
Paris on the 9Th ultimo, owing t,
what is believed to have been an at
tempt upon the life of the French
President. We give the following
particulars of the affair from late
Paris telegram:
''The celebration of the centennial
anniversary of tie meeting of the
States General on the 5th of May,
1889, narrowly escaped being ush-
cred in by a mOmentOus tragedy.
President Carnot, attended by his
military and civil household, left
the Elysee Palace shortly after mid
day in a state coach, drawn by four
horses, to drive to Versailles, where
the ceremonies of the day were to
take place. His carriage was es-
corted by a squad Of dragons. Just
as the Presidential carriage turned
into the Avenue Marigny from the
Faubourg st. HOnOre, a man Of
about forty years of age, who had
already attracted considerable atten-
ton among the bystanders by his
loud denunciatiOn of the Repub-
lican party and of all its works, sud
denly drew a heavy revolver and
fired it point blank at the President
For a moment CONSERVATION pre-
vailed among the crowd, but, on
perceiving that the carriage was pro
ceed1ng on it's way and that its occu-
pants were unhurt, the Infatuated
populace Immediately sprang upon
the Would-be assassin and almost
tore him to pieces. It is doubtful,
indeed, if he would have escaped
with his life had it not been for the
rear guard of the Presidential escort
of dragons, who rescued the man
and handed him over to the police"
When interrogated by the com
missary of police the prisoner said
81 did not want to kill the Presi-
dent, but merely to call his atten-
ton to the injustice of the Minister
of Marine toward me in sending me
off to Senegal, where l do not want
to 60" The papers found on him
show that he was steward of one
of the Government cruisers and that
his name was Nicholas Perrin. With
a view to cOrroborate his assertion
concerning the absence of any de
sire on his part to harm the Presi-
dent he pointed to the seven-shooter
which he had fired at NJ Carnot,
and drew attention to the fact that
three of the chambers were empty
while the other three contained
cartridges from which the bullets
had been removed" Perrin was
held for further examination.

Death and Funeral OF Mrs. Keegan.

Mrs. Thomas Keegan died at 80
d. IN. yesterday, at her residence, Nuu-
anu street. The deceased lady was a
native of Trim, county Meath, Ireland,
and landed in Honolulu with her hus-
band in the year 1850. They came from
Australia in the ship Hermann, which
was bound to San Francisco but put in
here for provisions and water; and a
number of the passengers remained on
shore. For many years Mrs. Keegan
kept what was long known as the light
house store; and she died in the same
building, which was her own property.
Her husband was a mason and slater bv
trade, and he died in 1870. She leaves
two sisters-Une in Ireland and the Other
in New York. Tue floral decorations at
the funeral were superb, and the burial
service took place at 1 p. m yesterday
in the Roman Catholic Cathedral-the
remains being inferred in the Catholic
cemetery, King street The attendance
at the burial ceremonies was very large,
and included many OF the Oldest resi-
dents on the Islands.

LEPROSY IN DEMERARA.

The dread disease of leprosy is
enisting public attention in British
Guiana, as it has in the Hawaiian
Islands, and we subjoin an extract
taken from the Argosy, Newspaper
published at Demerara, urging the
authorities of that province to take
measures to counteract the spread of
the disease:
THE Governor visited the Leper
Asylums at Mahaica this week, no
doubt to acquaint himself, by per-
sonal inspection, with the actual con
dition of the asylums so as the better
to be able to deal with the question
of segregation of the lepers, which
is to be brought up in the legislature
soon. AS a guide to our own Gov
eminent, we take the opportunity to
quote from the Planters Monthly
one of our exchanges from Honolulu
"a few particulars regarding leprosy
there. Up till within about two
years the land was overrun with
lepers who were allowed to roam
Il0 lSlduCSg
the seeds of death in every district,
hamlet and house that they entered"
The Government at last determined
to enforce segregation and so thor
oughly has the work been done that
'there now remain out of the asylum
scarcely a score of known lepers."
In January last, it was announced
by the Government that a special
steamer would be provided to take
the friends of the lepers to the sta
ton at MOlOkai, to visit them. The
proposal raised considerable OppOsi-
ton, on the ground of the danger
that was incurred by allowing the
healthy to intermingle with the sick,
but the Minister of the Interior gave
his reasons for having proposed the
visit. The friends of the lepers who
had never seen the settlement, and
knew nothing of the surroundings
and treatment of the patients, after
seeing the excellent provision for
the comfort of the afflicted, would
become recOnciled to the idea of
their sick friends being segregated
fromSthem. What we require in this
colony is a settlement like Molokai,
in which the lepers would be we'll
looked after and provided with
means of voluntary occupation, and
with reasonable sources of amuse-
ment; and where at the same time
they would be completely separated
from the rest of the inhabitants.
The site for such a settlement should
not be impossible to find within the
colony's limits, but if it be, then we
should cooperate with the West
Indian Colonies and obtain a suit

THE DAILY
HAWAIIAN IMMUNITIES.

While hurricanes and cyclones
howl with destructive fury over most
of the oceans and seas of the world.
the Hawaiian Islands have a singular
immunity from gales of that nature.
In March last it was demonstrated
that very few portions of the South
Pacific are free from periodical dis
tUrbances of the elements that
eliminate In destructive violence.
Hurricanes sweep those waters with
terrific fury, and with fearful loss of
life and property. The Atlantic is
also a storm-beat ocean, and it,
shores are exposed to the fury of its
ga es. The cyclones of the China
seas, and of the Indian ocean. tell
their tales of the storm fiend: and
wherever our mind may wander over
the storm tossed waters of the globe,
whither-in blizzard or sirocco lands.
the same tale of battling with the
elements is told, except in the Ha-
waIian Islands. The immunity of
these islands is really wonderful
set as they are in an ever compare
