The Reform Party on Kauai has
acted in its nominations on the
principle of having Legislature
representing the, whole people, in
contradistinction to the narrow
Visioned ideas of the Advertiser in
favor of strict party system of
government. On the Kauai ticket
appears the name of a native Ha-
waiian for Noble, who was one of the
Ministers so suddenly deposed in the
revolution; while one of the candi-
.lates for Representative Mr.. Knud-
sen) is gentleman of pronounced
independence, who has not hesitated
to express disapprobation of some
doings under the present regime.
The latter is, in short, one of those
whom the Advertiser would coarse
ly insinuate is "agin Reform" be-
cause they believe that "handsome
is as handsome does" applies to
politics.

perry as the elephant back. The first
time, when the great beast rises on its

A good small elephant will shuttle
along easily at the rate of five miles an

distractions. so that the rider often
finds himself hanging on in an almost
perpendicular position. No animal is
so surefooted as an elephant. He will
climb steep banks and slide down into
river beds with as much ease as an Irish
pony, but he particularly objects to a bog
and let no one attempt to ride him over
one, for if he finds himself sinking in

The revenue of tho government is
drawn from various sources, but mainly
through the imposition Of tariff upon
imported goods. The word tariff is
said to have been derived from Tarlife,
u small seaport on the Mediterranean,
Inhabited by piratioal tribe of Moors,
who exactei tribute from every vessel
coming within its harb>L Congress,
in the exercise of its tax,raising powers,
directed the treasurer to place Col
lector at every port of entry, to take for
the use of the government not only a
tribute from the vessel, but q
handsome levy from the cargo; and
this duty he zealously performs, and
turns his collections into the Treasury,
The Collector however, when the
money leaves hi hands, must have
credit for the amount, the Treasurer
must be charged with the same, and the
Register must make proper entry Of it
before the government can put the
money TO any use Therefore, TO make
the same available and at the same time
to insure for il proper accountability,
the Collector is directed, when he
places the amount to the credit OF the
Treasurer in some recognized oiiic al
place OF deposit, to so advise the Secre-
tary. The Treasurer is notified of the
ira nsaction by the principal officer
at the pace of deposit The
Secretary, being thus advised, draws
a draft or warrant upon the Collector in
favor of the Treasurer for the amount
already deposited, and for it the latter
officer receipts upon the warrant, as
though he had jus: received the IN nnoy.
This warrant then goes to the Register,
who charges the treasurer with the
amount acknowlged by him as received,
enters the same in the account of gene
raj receipts, under its proper elassifica-
ton, and then sends the warrant to the
Auditor, where it becomes credit
voucher in the account of the Collector
depositlng the amount. By this pro.
ceedng all the purposes needed are
served, and the several entries being
made from the same bit of paper, the
chances of clerical error are reduced to
their minimum. But the cleverest part
of the scheme is that the collector can
get credit for his deposit only upon the
warrant, and in consequence he can be
trusted to see that the warrant is issued
whereby the treasurer is charged with
the amount. All moneys are drawn, or
covered, into the treasury only by the
issue of such covering warrant, and
when one of them bears the receipt of
the treasurer thereon, and the cast,tic ne
of the register that the treasurer has
been charged Herewith, the money is
then, and not till then, in the treasury,
whence it cannot be drawn Except in
consequence of an appropriation made
by aw."-Harper's Weekly.

Probably the most magnificent emer-
aid In the world was brought 10 view
during the visit of the Shah OF Persia
TO England. II is the prominent fea'
turo in his celebrated sword hilt, and
when the English national anthem was
played he usually stood erect, holding
the sword to his forehead. The flash
Of the jewels on the hilt Of the sword
was one of the momentary astonish-
merits to be watched for,
The combination Of diamonds with
other stones gave colored lue to the
light thrown by the jewels. Hl,herto
Dhuleep Siugh's emerald has been con.
sidered the largest jewel known, meas
ing three inches long, two inches wide,
and half an inch thick. The Duke of
Devonshire's is the largest in England,
two inches in height and two and a
quarter aoross-brought, it is said, to
England by Dom Pedro. Rumor had
mentioned a huge emerald in Persia,
but the reality quite eclipsed all esti'
mates as to size. As big as walnut,
the most veracious of chronicles ven.
tured to advance, and he was certainly
within the mark, even if he had been
accustomed to walnuts of unusual bulk,

The story of the Kidnapping of full

The following are some of the more
noted suicides of which mention is
made in history. These do not SAVIOR
much of insanity, but rather of stole
philosophy.
Cato stabbed himself rather than live
under the daspotic rein of Cesar. The
mistoces poisoned himself rather than
lead the Persans against his country
men; zeao, when 9S, hanged himself
because he had put his finger out OF
joint, and Hannibal and Mithridates
poisoned themselves TO escape being
taken prisoners. When we search
Scripture we find that Saul, rather than
fall into the hands of the Phlistines,
commanded his armor- bearer to no. ID his
sword that he might plunge upon it;
Samson, for the sake of being reven gee
on his enemies, pulled down tn ehoust
in which they were revelling and 'died
with them," and Judas Iscariot, afteI
selling the Savior for thirty pieces o.
silver, was overcome with remorse '.anc
