In the ''Kohala notes" published in
yesterdays issue, it was stated that a
native man fell from the railroad embank-
ment and was killed. A train passed at the
time; but our correspondent did not add
the important fact that, at the inquest,
the Railroad Company was exonerated
from all blame-the train men having
given the man ample warning of the
trains approach.

afterwards on being exposed to light and

sad so boldly that very many beheyed 1t
Prof Huxley, however, completely eX-

care, and as he has no sympathy with
Christianity or any divine power, his state

great Frenchman Pasteur has founded a
profound generalization and has proved
that all the products of inorganic nature
are built up atomically on symmetrical
plan; that is the crystals or molecules may
be cut in one or more planes into halves
which will exactly respond-Whereas all
products formed under the influence Of life
are atomically dissymmetrical-no two
halves being alike. Thus proving that life
is something entirely distinct from in
organic nature. Pasteur also proved that
all fermentation is produced by living gan

the creatures can live entirely without free
oxygen las in the air., and apparently far
better without than with, putting 1t beyond
any doubt that life is not d property OF

Mr. Anderson interspersed his lecture
with number Of illustrations and wound
up by making an earnest appeal to his
hearers to study themselves and to so shape

Philosophical Society.

On Friday evening there was a fair at
tendancein the Second ward meeting house,
at the weekly meeting Of this society. The
programme consisted Of singing by the
choir, violin solo by Prof. Ole Boerkel, and
and a lecture by Scott Anderson, Life, is
it Property of Matters"
In opening his lecture, Mr.. Anderson said
il might appear strange to some of his
hearers that there were very large numbers
of neople who believe that what is called
life was only a property OF matter. These

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE.

Civil-Servico Reform as Practiced 0y Re-
former Ben Harrison.
When Pres dent Cleveland had been
less than a month in Office, the ques-
ticn of appointing General Pearson 8
successor in the New York postmaster
ship was very pressing, and it was soon
announced that Postmaster Pearson had
been reappointed to that important
Federal Office. Commenting on this
announcement in its issue of April /,
1885, the New York Tribune said:
The rearro ntment of Pos master Pearson
gives gene al satisfaction to those citZe IS who
care for efficiency in that branch OF the public
service here. Il satisfies the public because it
is good tn ng in tsei; because Mr.. p arson
is one Of many Republ can Off :ials who have
proved cons icuously Ill that their removal,
on Whatever ground, and rres pect We OF the
personal mer of any whj may b. selected N
the r stead, would be pos tive detriment to the
public serv ce. Such an Hppoinlment is, Of
course, to be commended most heartily as q
good Thing itself In tsef this ap-
pointment Is adm rabls Mr. PEARSON s
inquest oned and superior fitness renders his
retention in ONCE tue clear du y of a Pres dent
who means to improve and not 10 degrade The
public serv ce.
President Cleveland was a Demo-
crat, and Mr.. Pearson never made any
disguise Of the fact that he was a Re-
pub lean. The Tribune is right. how
ever, in saying that his superior TT
ness" had never been questioned. and
tor that reason, caring mainly for the
efficiency of the Sc vice. Mr.. Cleve-
land retained him in the Office which
he n he - nf
Democrats and Republicans alike. Be-
fore Mr.. Harrison had been a month
in Office, Postmaster Pearson's term
expired, and the question of his sue
cessor again became pressing one.
Nobody pretends that after four yeas
of additional experience Postmaster
Pearson's "superior fitness" had be-
come less unque'tioned than in 1885,
but the Tribune said not q word in re-
gard to his superior fitness, or his
efficiency, Or the general satisfaction
he had given to those citizens who care
for efficiency in that branch of the pub
lilo service; and President Harrison,
ignoring all the reasons for the
appointment that had proved strong
enough to convince President Cleve-
land. has just given the postmaster
ship to M. Cornelius Van Colt, a man
who has had no expe fence whatever
in the mail service. who has no record
of efficiency and SUPERIOR fitness. and
who had no advantage over General
Pearson in the matter of Republican,
ism, except that he is more accept
able TO the machine and the spoils-
meL. No single Incident has more
clearly brought out he difference he-
tween the two administrations Of
President Cleveland and Prssiient
Harrison. Those who note it care
fully aud grasp its significance will
understand why President Cleveland
