A RELIC OF EDEN.

Tertiary crime to manufacture cider.
The unfortunate mistake of the apple
in having juice has imposed great bur
dens upon lawmakers and courts. In
another state juries have the delicate
but weighty responsibility of determin-
ing whether this juice is yinous OF
spirituous liquor, which can only be de-
cided after repeated and protracted in
terviews. In New Hampshire the legis-
lature has just submitted to popular
vote prohibitory amendment, and the
cider question comes again i'll the way
of the prohibitory reform. Every
farmer there has an orchard, and the
cider will persistin running and getting
into the cellar, so that an exception
must be made in favor of cider in that
state. Probably experts will be had,
perhaps as jurors, to sample the product
of all the cellars. and see that no alec
hol gets into the cider. There is the
DRY that it was the juice Of the apple
that made the trouble in Eden. Be that
as it may, it is making trouble for the
reformers now, and the only effective
remedy is to cut down all the apple

THE TWO QUESTIONS.

1t will be seen from the GLOBES con-
sensus of opinions of majority of the
members of the legislature that the SEN
timent of that body is decidedly opposed
to making any change in the liquor
laws, while there is fairly even di-
vision of sentiment on the question of
convict labor, There are two classes Of
temperance agitators who will press the
temperance question in different forms
upon the attention of the legislature.
one advocating local option, the other
out-and-eut prohibition. 1t is but
natural to suppose, however, that, high
license being the bantling of the Repub-
lican party in this state, the legislature,
composed as it is mainly of Republicans,
would desire to give the high license
experiment a longer trial before adopt
ing more radical changes. 1t is not
sure, however, that this legislature is
so fully in sympathy with the idea of
aboli5hing convict LABOR as its prede-
cessor was. 1t is within the range of
possibility that the convict labor system
may be restored.

PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Mrs Harris on attended the opera in New
York Friday evening in company with the
wife of Vice President Morton. Mrs. Harri-
son wore slate-colored silk dress cut high
and a white vest. The dimensions of her
dress improver are not mentioned by the
otherwise observant papers.
Ex-Congressman John S. Wise of Virginia,
was recently asked if he thought Malone
would get cabinet position. Throwing up
his hands in holy horror. as if such thing
were impossible, Wise replied: when Ma
hone gets into Harrisons cabinet you'll find
me posing as the Goddess of Liberty among
wax figures, but not before"
Malieota, the Samoan potentate deposed by
the Germans, bears name which signifies q
great deal to the people of the Navigator
islands Malieota the Great lived long time
ago. and his memory is venerated by the Sa-
means. He led his people III many wars and
finally conquered their ancient enemies, the
Tongas. ''MalIeota' is a word which means
to the Samoans what Cesar did to the Ro-
mans. AS every Roman emperor, whether
Julius. Augustus. or Nero, was Cesar, so
each head of the family founded by the con-
queror Savea is called Malietoa.
Ben Butler is strongly in favor of the Mica
ragua canal and is as strongly opposed to the
Panama canal under other than American
auspices. He hopes the government will
give notice now. as it ought to have done
before, that whoever undertakes an invest

nicipal action or private subscription. must
do so with full understanding that when
ever the welfare OF convenience of this ma
ton demands that the United States should
take possession we should feel at liberty to
do so, wholly regardless of any claim for
property to anybody after such notice.

steamer Adams, has just been received
here. Part of the letter is as follows:
Honolulu, Jan. 1O-We are homeward
bound, having called here for coal and pro-
visions, which our long stay at Samoa COM
pletely exhausted. The German government
had captured and exiled the rightful king,
Malietoa, because he resisted the wholesale
German trading company and
in his place set up chief,
Tamasese, entirely subservient to German
interests. When war broke out between
Tamasese and Mataafa we being the nearest
American ship, were ordered to proceed with
all haste to Apia and look out for American
interests. The German fleet was away, ex-
cept the Adler, during the fighting. The
Adler left Apia and went around to Salafatta
with the expressed intention OF driy-
ing Mataafa off of some German
property on which he had built an embank-
ment for his army. We also got under way
as soon as the Adler, and we followed her
and cleared the ship for action. We arrived
at Talafatta astern of the Adler. and our cap
tain, Leary, lowered boat and sent an officer
over, with a message intimatIng that
if the Adler fired one shot at any
OF the natives she would never get back
to the fatherland unless the German govern
ment sent wreeking company and had her
picked up from the bottom of the ocean.
The result was the Adler went back to. Apia,
and we followed and anchored outside of
her. By the steamer just arrived we learn
that the trouble has broken out
worse than ever, and all the ships
on this station are ordered to Apia
with all possible speed: also that an
English fleet is ordered thither There were
two English. one American and two German
men-of-war there when we left. 1t is almost
certain that large German and French feet

DE LEssEPs, SCHEME.

There seems to be a good deal of
mutually between DE LESSEPs, the
canal man, and BoULANGER, the schem-
ing politician. A few nights before the
election the canal man dined and wined
the Paris capturer, and they talked up
the Panama business. A great many
thousand votes could be swung on that
pivot, as they had invested in the stock.
De LEssEPs, no doubt, made this ap-
parent, so BoULANGER climbs upon the
Panama platform and the populace
swarm to his support. He is fully COM
mitted to the enterprise, and would
have the government back the scheme
and insure its completion. This is all
that De LEssEPS wants, and it looks
now that he might work the thing
through, if BoTIANGER gets to the
head, as the latter is reckless and will
not avoid any hazards that will secure
him popular support.

To live upon this sordid, carking earth:
She died as dies the blossom in the stem
Ere yet her womanhood found glorious

She died: but ere she died her guiltlesS heart
Went out unto a man who loved her well;
Survive he could not while it dwelt apart
1t bound his life as with fairy spell.
He went at even to the new made grave
Which cruelty covered all that he did love,
And sank despairing, hopeless-hopeless
He hoped that he, too, might find life
above.
He laid his head upon the frosted stone
''Oh. love, come back .-came back to me?''
he cried;
But echo only answered to his moan
Come back!-come back it sighingly re-
piled.
The red sun slowly sank behind the Hill
And misty shadows crept across the sky
But his prone, anguished body lay there still,
And motionless,-he uttered not a cry.
Chill grew the night; the heavens darby
trowned; So
And yet he stirred not, nor gave any sign;
His hot breath frOze upon the clayey mound.
And made of it lovers hallowed shrine.
And when the cold gray dawn broke in the
And lighted all the earth's snow-eovered
breast,
His pulses beat not for his breath had
ceased,
And death had brought his soul eternal
rest.

THE BIG STRIKE.

The tie-up OF the New York and
Brooklyn street railway systems took
place yesterday according to programme.
The striking employees will discover be
fore they have gotten very far along
that public sentiment does not approve
of their ill-advised course. The strikers
are in the wrong, and so clearly so as to
forfeit all sympathy. The companies
may have treated the employees with
impoliteness in refusing to. respond to
their proposition for an agreement. but,
the proposed agreement being in the
nature of demand for increased wages,
the companies are justified in not ac-
ceding to the demand. In consideration
of the general business depression
which prevails and the prospect of its
long duration, the laboring man who can
hold his Job without reduction
of wages is in luck. Railroad COM
panies all over the country are now re-
ducing their forces and cutting down
wages so as to bring their operating eX-
penses within the limit of their receipts.
Mills and manufactures are doing the
same thing for similar reason. The
result is that large number of deserg-
ing and capable men are thrown out of
employment who would be glad to get
work at even less wages than they have
been accustomed to receive. 1t is now
midwinter, the season that Is always
the hardest for the labOring classes. and
when those who can find employment
that will provide shelter, food and cloth
ing deem themselves fortunate. Be-
cause of these peculiar facts and UNI
usual conditions the New York and
Brooklyn strikers will find themselves
without the support of public sympathy
in their attempt to force an increase of
wages. They should have been salts
