The question of arbitration as de-
fined and limited to all differences
and disputes which may arise be-
tween the American nations ought
to be safe enough for discussion by
an international body, but there Is
likely to be some objection to sub
hitting international quarrels to this
peaceful method Of settlement. Our
Southern neighbors have quick
tempers and hot blood, and may
think arbitration too slow and mild
a cure for bad humors. But it is to
be hoped that something will be
accomplished in this direction. We
may trust to time and the humanlz-
ing influences of commerce to make
arbitration possible and even popu-
lar, where war has been frequent and
disastrous; but the first thing IS to
get the commerce.
We most heartily welcome the
Congress, and trust that it may sue
coed in clearing the way to nearer
and more satisfactory relations, even
if it does not result in the immediate
establishment of them n. Y. indie

He Was Permitted to Testify.

A bright little darky 9years Of age
convulsed the court loungers at In
dependence with excessive laughter
and captured Judge Slower at the
same time by an innocent remark.
He had been subpenaed as witness
in divorce case by the plaintiff, and
the attorney for the defense objected
to him being placed on the stand on
account of his age and inability to
understand the nature of an oath.
Judge Slower took the matter IN
hand and his investigation resulted
as follows:
"Do you understand the nature Of
an oath?"

"What would become Of you If you

"Who would get you?"

the truth, and the idea that lawyers
were in charge of affairs followed as
a consequence. Judge Slower per
mitted him to testify Elk.

Zaliensky's opinion is that of many

A Word About. the Bolt Die Stock

No turning back over the threads after
1t IS once cut, is prominent feature of the
" Duplex"
All mechanics agreeing that the turning
back against the cutting edge lures the
dies much more than the actual cutting
When the - Duplex" dies become dull
by CUTTING, they can readily be renewed bv
sharpening on a grindstone. Thus max
ing the life of these dies longer, at least by
four fold than any other made, and at the
same time avoiding the common occur
renee Of stripping or weakening the thread
and rendering the work worthless.
This tool, when set to any desired size,
can Instantly be released and lifted off and
reset to same size without trial, thus in
surfing all the threads uniformly alike. 1t
adjusts to all the variations in irOn-rough,
diversified iron is shaved to standard size
and threaded at the same time. This can
not be accomplished with any other Die
Stock. The Duplex being the only tool
made allowing one set of dies to accurately
cut two distinct siZes-in the adjustment
no wrench, screw driver or any extra tool
being used-and when adjusted is as rigid
as solid die, and will do at least one-third
more work in the same space of time We
solicit a comparison with other makes,
both as to range of sizes each tool cuts,
and prices, as well as price of extra dies.

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

This law, which was designed to
embody the principal features of the
Australian ballot, was so amended
and changed in its passage through
the Legislature of 1888, as to divest
1t OF some of the most important
safeguards of the original, particu-
larly that of balloting in secret. But
such as it is, it is a great improve
ment On our former system. The
!aw was published entire in the
GAZETTE of October 2, 1888, and in
the Session laws passed that year. It
mas los sections, and as it's provi-
slons ought to be known by every
voter, we have made a synopsis of it's
more important provisions:
Section 3, provides for general
election" to be held throughout the
Kingdom, on the first Wednesday
ofFebruary, 1890, which falls on the
9Th.
Section 6, provides for the issuing
OF an election proclamation" by the
Minister of the Interior, at least
thirty days before the election, with
full details, etc.
Section 9 and 10, provides for the
election of twenty-four mobiles, nine
on Oahu, six on Maui, MoIokai and
Lanai, SIX on Hawaii and three on
Kauai, Niihau, one-third on each
island to serve two, four and six
years each.
Section IL, provides the qualifca-
lions OF Mobiles, to be a male subject
of % years of age, or over, resident
IN the Kingdom not less than three
years, owner of $4,000 worth of tax
able property, or an income of not
less than 5000.
Section II, provides for twenty
four Representatives = eight for
Oahu, six for Maui, Molokai and
Lanai, seven for Hawaii, and three
for Kauai and Niihau-to serve for
TWO years, with $3.50 pay for that
term.
Section Il, prescribes the qualif
cations of candidate for represen-
tatlVe, to be a male subject of 81
years or over, knows how to read and
write Hawaiian, English or some
European language; understand ac-
counts; domiciled in the Kingdom
Tor three years Immediately proceed
ing the election; owner of $500 in
real estate, or has an income of $3.50
a year.
Section %, bars every person in
the employ of the government or
having any contract with govern
ment from seat in the legislature.
Nor can any member of the legisla
ture hold any Office under govern

AMONG the items of news received
by the last mail was that of the re
ported revolution in Brazil. It seems
hardly possible that it could have
occurred so suddenly, when the mon
archy under Dom Pedro had given
so much satisfaction. Yet the report
is correct, and that the next news
may confirm the fact that there has
been an entire change of govern
