RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS.

A Rutland special says, under date of
the 9th, inst The Democratic Admin
istration made nearly clean sweep in
the railway postal service on routes run
ming into:or through Vermont from 1885
to 1889, many faithful and efficient
clerks, including number of war vet,
Grams, being removed simply beca use
they were Republicans and Democrats
wanted their places. The business men
of the State can testify to the democrat
ization of the railway mail service fol-
lowing these changes. 1t will be crafty
ing to tie business communities through
out the State to learn that the Republi-
can Administration has begun in earnest
the work of improving the postal ser
vice, and that number of old and tried
clerks have been reinstated on Vermont
postal routes. Up to the present time
seventeen Republicans have been ap-
pointed to positions on the railway mail
service on routes running into or
through this State, as follows William
West, reinstated to the st. Adams and
Boston day route; j. w. Chapman of
Springfield, Mass, reinstated to the New.

The Secretary Of the Board of
Health desires us to state regarding
the eleven unknown deaths" of
November, that all were unattended
by physicians; though Rev. Lowell
Smith visited one native. All were
natives except three Cinnamon. The
persons who applied for certificates
stated, in reply to questions in each
case, that they could assign no cause
for death. Just here is the point
where there should be some investi-
cation. Did they die natural deaths
or were they poisoned or otherwise
disposed of? Eleven deaths in one
month, unattended and from sun
known cause;" at the rate of 1872
per annum! It certainly looks like
barbarism Is there no remedy
We have no wish to blame the officers
of the law, but there should be some
reform in this very serious matter.

A Question of .Consanguinity."

Question of COnsanguinity.''
Mr.. EDITOR There is an unmistak-
able feeling of Indignation in this COM
munity, at the action of the Minister of
Finance, in appointing Honolulu resi-
dent as member of the Board of Appeals
for the districts of Hilo and Kau.
One can not do otherwise than con-
graduate the Minister of Finance for his
discerning faculty OF the fitness of things,
as instanced in this appointment, for if
familiarity with the land and growing
crop values in the Hilo and Kau districts
is to form one of the requirements, the
selection of man who knows nothing
about them, who is not even a resident
of this island, but who is the near rela-
tive to the principal stakeholder in a
firm which owns four OF the largest plan
tations in the Hilo district, also nearly
one-half of the whole district of Kau, all
this demonstrates to the voters of 1890
the remarkable sagacity of the Minister
of Finance. But there is really nothing
funny in this business at ali, and the
Honolulu taxpayer may "wrap the sllken
draperies OF his couch around him." to
dream of that delightful future when
some distinguished citizen from Puma
shall sit in judgment on his property
valuation, whatever the plantation at
torney editor of the "Hilo Blatherskite"
may say to the contrary
Again, the Hilo and Kau taxpayer will
naturally ask, why it is, that if the Cir
cult Judge of the third Judicial Circuit,
as President of the Board of Tax Appeals
was declared unable to sit as such bv
reason of conSan 5uinity with the asses
sor of Hawaii, the same objection did
not affect the eligibility of Mr.. Carter's
appointment. No one will question the
latter's honest intentions or fairlninded
ness but it certainly looks queer that
the Minister should not alone have ig-
nored relationship in an appointment
that ought never to have been made.
but he must needs hasten to tap the
treasury to an extent tenfold to what it
would have been had a resident from the
districts assessed been appointed.
Some who have thus far supported the
Cabinet in its measures and policy, unite
to condemn this last act of selecting a
nonresident, who may or may not be
qualified, as an unwise discrimination
and not content with giving us this slap
in the face, the Cabinet, judging from
the choice they have made, give us the
impression that they bend the knee to a
few holders OF sugar stock. L.

visions, to establish greater security
and prosperity for the people.
The restriction of free immigra-
ton of the Chinese is one thing
which demands and must receive the
prompt attention of the Legislature
and Government. Conflicting inter
ests must be adjusted to protect the
local industries as we'll as the plant
ing interests of the country. It is
believed that wise counsels can unite
on some amendment of the Constitu-
ton which will correct the evil.
Regarding the questions of public
debt, honest administration, educa-
ton, the proposed perpetuation of
the reciprocity treaty and the indie
pendence Of Hawaii, there can be
but one opinion among all intelli-
gent voters, whether belonging to
the Liberal Reform party or to no
party.
The Opposition party, SO far as its
principles have been announced in
its organ the Elele, is understood to
have for its heavy plank the election
of all executive officers by popular
vote, or a biennial rotation of the
government. This, if ever adopted,
will tend more than anything else to
undermine and destroy the stability
of the Hawaiian Government.
It's main object, however, is under
stood to be the overturning of the
existing administration, abolishing
the Constitution, and restoring that
of 1865, known as the Harris Con
stitution), and with it the restora-
ton of irresponsible government.
Independent of these parties, is
the recently organized Mechanics
Union, composed, as its name indi-
Gates, of those who are engaged in
various trades and dependent on
them for their support. Their prime
bond of union is opposition to free
immigration of the Chinese, in which
| the present administration has pro
missed to cooperate. A strong pres
sure is being brought to secure an
amalgamation of the Mechanics
Union with the radical Opposition
party Of the Elele crowd. The
mechanics now constitute a we'll
organized union of not far from one
thousand voters. They are identi-
fed with the true prosperity of the
country, and their demand has been
made and will be secured They
hold the balance of power in this
city, and may number before the
election fully one-half the voters of
this district. Wisdom would indi-
cate that they preserve their iden-
tity as an organization, and retain
their power to use it at the polls
wherever it may accomplish the
most good. To identify their cause
at this or any other time with that of
the Elele, will be the greatest
blunder that could be made, at a
time when no necessity exists for
making a blunder. can ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of

SIXTY DAYS from yesterday the
general election for Mobiles and
Representatives throughout the isl
ands takes place on February 5.
Already are heard from different
quarters the steps of the electors
moving to take action in the nomina-
ton of candidates. In each of the
twenty-four districts there will prob
ably be at least two tickets proposed.
In former years the number was
much larger, often a dozen candi-
dates in one district. The new law,
which requires candidates to pay a
fee of fifty or twenty-five dollars for
the privilege of entering the contest
for Mobiles or Representatives
seat, will have the effect of reducing
the number to two or three in each
district And it will .be far better
for the people to have the election
narrowed down to a choice for or
against the platforms of the two
leading parties.
The first of these is the Liberal
REFORM PARTY, which adopts the
existing constitution as the basis of
the Hawaiian Government, the main
spring of which is the full response
bility of the Cabinet to the PEOPLE in
all executive matters of State. They
hold, however, that it may be wisely
amended in one or more of its pro

'H LAREDO, October 15.-The Laredo coal

daily. Several parties are in the city from
Kansas City making investments. They
