Plea For The Battleship.

New York Press. If fast cruisers
are the light infantry aud charging
cavalry Of the seas, hattleships are
the heavy artillery. Battleships are
the star performers, cruisers are the
efficient support. This principle Of
aggression is the best means. More
than that we should be able, in case
a hostile fleet threatening New
York harbOT, for instance. to shoot
at 1t from cur ports or TO harnlss 1t
in the rear. IL requires that we
should be in position to make an
equal threat in front OF harbor Of
the hostile power, that we should he
able to carry out the threat and
blockade such an harbOr or break a
blockade Of one Of our own harbOrs.
1t requires, in short, that we should
be able TO do all that any other ma
ton can do, and do It before any
other nation can DO il, for
Thrice armed Is he who hath his quarrel
tust."

Men Generally Do Not Fear to Die.

Sir Lion Playfair, in n letter TO
Junius Henri Browne, author Of n
paper with the above title says:
"Having represented a large con
stituency lthe University Of Edln-
burg) for seventeen years as a MEM
Der Of Parliament, l naturally came
in contact with sthe most eminent
medical men in England. | have
put the question to most Of them,
Did you, in your extensive prac-
tice, ever know a patient who was
afraid to die?' With two exceptions
they answered NO.
"One Of these exceptions was Sir
Benjamin Brodie, who said he had
seen one case. The other was Sir
Robert Christian, who has seen one
case, that OF a girl vf bad character
who had n sudden accident L
have known three friends who were
partially devoured by wild beasts
under apparently hopeless circum-
stances u escape. The first was
Livingston, the African traveller,
who was knocked on his back by a
lion, which began to MUNICH his
arm. He assured me that ne felt
no pain and that his only feeling
was one Of intense curiosity as 10
which part Of the body the lion
would take next. The next was
Rustem Pasha, now Turkish Am
bassadof in London. a bear at
tackled him and tore Off part OF his
arm and shoulder. He also assured
me that he had neither pain nor
fear, but that he felt excessively
angry because the bear grunted with
so hluch satisfaction in munching
him.
The third case is that Of Sir Ed
ward Brandford, an Indian officer
now occupying a high position In
the Indian Office. he was seized In
a solitary place by a tiger, when
held him firmly behind the shoulder
with one paw, and then deliberately
devoured the whole OF his arm,
beginning at the end and ending Al
the shoulder. He was positive that
he had no sensation OF fear, anu
thinks that he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand,
but is certain thst he felt none during
the munching Of his arm "-Ine

on THE PLANTATION,

we have the storekeeper and book
keeper Jno. Brown; engineer Isaac
Fox; assistant engineer Charles
Harper, sugar boiler, NJ. +. Eakle.
AS was announced in my last let
ter, we started and run the mill DUR
ing the greater part Of December.
But ON account OF the bad condition
of the machinery VIC had frequent
stoppages and hindrances, conse-
quently did not have a very success
full run or make as good n grade Of
sugar rs usual. On starting up on
the first Of the year our boiler gave
out on us. Ate. examination We
concluded 10 get a new boiler put in,
with stepladder CRATE and other i'm
provements, and TO have the en-
gines, pumps, etc, Overhauled. This
caused a lay-over Of two months
duration and an outlay Of some four
thousand dollars. But no more
opportune time could have been
chosen as the sequel proves. During
all this time we had rain, day and
night almost continually. Great
floods Of water tore down the noun
tain sidesiand gulches, inundating
the lowlands, and considerable cane
land, and rose several feet in many
Of the houses Of the natives, driving
them hence.
This rainy season has extended
throughout this groupe, washing
away many bridges, several stores
and dwelling houses, damaging
mills, entering sugar rooms and
melting sugar, stopping works on
plantations, destroying rice fields,
kalo patches, etc, and hindering to
some extent the travelling and work
Of the Elders. Notwithstanding this
had weather President King bad the
men and carts employed in hauling
over building material from our
landing 10 the kahuku Sugar COM
pany for use in buildings pertaining
to their proposed Sl5O,OO0 plant Of
which you may learn more later,
thereby furnishing labor for the na-
tives and realizing $500 for pay.
This Is depressing. After having
got the mill in trim, We succeeded
In getting in a short nun Of fourteen
days before conference, turningo
fiffy-one tons Of sugar, making "a
daily average Of Z, 2S5 pounds Some
Of the cane has yielded as high as
five tons per aero, 1t will take us
some six weeks yet to crop of. We
have seventy-four acres of new
plant cane which is "a No. l."
La grippe has annoyed the people
here TO some extent. Not n few OF
the natives have been sick during
this cold, rainy spell, and the death
rate has been greater than usual.

Prices Of Turkish slaves.

There are actually at Stamboul
about ninety regular slave dealers
who buy and sell slaves, or who are
the medium Of buying or selling.
The slaves are ioJged in houses
known by the public, just as they
know the dealers in any sort OF
merchandise. The principal slave
houses are about thirty.
An Abyssinian maiden from IL to
IL is worth from 90 To- 20 lras "a lira
Is worth about $500, but a hand
some one is sure to bring 800 liras
(about 81 ,350). White slaves lTcher-
kes) are more abundant. Maidens
from II to Is are quoted from 60 to
800 liras, and those from Is 10 20
from 50 TO 1000 liras. The price
varies according TO beauty, size,
complexion and accomplishments.
Singers and musicians generally
bring a good price.-London NcI1s.

THE "eHRISTIAS VICTORY

some Of the clercymen Of this
city took AN active part in the politi-
cal camyaign which resulted in the
defeat Of the Peoples Party by
"Liberal'' frauds. Some Of the
ministers were so intensely '.Elbsr-
al' that they appeared on thes,reetS
with the boys and took part in the
noisy parades wlIich were 50 COM
mon before the, election. One Of
them Joined in a jubilaticn at 4 no
tel anal was 50 absorbed-or. some
thiHg-that, while speechifying
over the ''Liberal'' victory, he
failed 10 observe that Saturday night
had ispped over on 10 Sunday NOM
ing by an hoar and a hall. or
course, the result Of the eIcctiou was
4 christian victory, > and the rev.
elry INDUCED in during the flush OF
triumph caused Saturday night to
catch on to the heel Of sunday
morning, that the two might lie ap-
propriately blended.
The sequel to the campaign and
one Of its results are worthy OF note.
Ithss become notorious that since
the Christian victoy'' achieved
by the Liberals that saloons
have been running on the Christian
Sabbath. pretty much as on other
days, and thas gambling dens have
increased and hoUrished every Gay
in the week, the day OF rest includ-
eli. One editor in the east, who
must be a near approach to a
''blooming iiiot,'' when he learned
OF the Liberal victory, - wrote an
article in which he stated II to he a
matter OF eongratulation that Sail
Lake would cow have 4 christian
City Council.''
Now the "Liberal'' clergy are
moving in body against the in
creasing dissertations OF the Sabbath,
one specially Objectionable feature
Of which Is the granting Of the
privilege, by the ''Christian'' CITY
Council, to the ''Lioeral'' band to
hold Sunday night concerts. The
Fious Council granted this privilege
not only ia contravention Of re-
Iigious Observance, but inoRposition
TO the requirements Of a city ordi-
naneeand a Territorial statute.
Among the agitatod professors
against these encroaehpsnts upon
the Gay OF rest is the reverend gen,
tleman whose s'Liberal'' festivities
stretched over the terminal edge OF
Saturday night onto a section OF
Sunday morning. Perhaps, when
he joins with his brethren in this
movement in favor Of the sacres
Observance Of ihe Lords Day, faith
ful memory will cu,Ise rnbiidep
drops Of Precipitation 10 float down
the lines OF his countenance. Con
science doth make cowaris Of u
all, !" but IL he were to step back rom
the present movement it woul1 not
mend the matter.
The Christian influence Of LIB
eralism" reaches into the details Of
the Councils deliberations. When
that body included a majority OF
''Mormons, ''the Divine blessing was
invariably solicited for the guidance
Of those to shom the well-beiDg Of
the people Of this municipality was
largely entrusted. At the close OF |
each session, thanks were offered to
the Throne Of Grace for fayors re
ceived. Since the Christian
Council spoken of by the insane
eastern editor came into power, nj
voice of prayer has been heard in
the council chamber.

A FINAL ANSWER.

THE Salt Lake Tribune Of Sunday
morning Ills column and a half
Of editorial space with further sour
riIity and abuse OF the undersigned.
The writer Of these repeated libels
has used his one taient-yulgar vi
t1pcration, for several years, under
cover OF the ES-.6,me, without person.
al notice from the object of his as
slu!L he is too contemplate to
name, but for the paper which he
defiles, and too Insignificant for re-
ply. But the accusation made in
the Tribune on Friday is repeated in
Sundays issue, with the additional
faIsehoOd that the undersigned has
not answered he charge that an
'-arrangement had been entered
into between c. w. Penrose and
Marshal Parsons'' Therefore, the
following paragraphs are now copied
from the reply, which The Tri6u1se
does not quote hut speaks of as can
effort to try to answer without an
swering:'' a-a .a -
1.-THE undersigned, so far as he re-
members, never had but two inter-
views with Marshal Parsons ana
these were AZ the AfsrshaI's office. in
relation 10 the detention Of prisoners
in the PenIentiary after their terms
had expired. for costs when no fine
had been imposed. Tho Marshal ak
planned that he could not do otherwise
than hold them because the commit
ment in every case specified imprison-
menJ until the costs were paid. A writ
OF ha5cds cOrpus was sued out in one
OF these eases before Judge Zane, the
detained person was liberated, and
the Marshal then agreed that such
persons should be discharged on the
expiration of their respective terms.
Marshal Parsons never asked C.
W. Penrose to do anything respecting
the affidavit referro1 to, or in regard
70 his confirmation, OF in relation to
his Office or the efforts 20 Gust him.
He never entered into any arrange
meui' Of any Kind whatever with c.
". PenroSe, unless the promise 10 do
his duty in regard to The discharge Of
prisoners after their terms expired can
be called an arrangement. There is
not any Foundation or excuse for the
libel uttered by the Tribune, which
was DOUBTLESS suggested by the same
individuals who have underworld; TO
intimidate persons unwilling to join in
their scheme"
In this mornings Tribune an at
temptwas made to smooth over a
prurient libel published some time
ago respecting al alleged occurrence
in Fillmore. The writer Of the
scandal now says:
at was one Of those cases where a
person becomes convinced IN his own
mind, while the evidence would not
warrant the presumption"
This may be the Tri51gae's condi-
ton in the present case. But from
the course it has pursued for several
years in relation TO tbs undersigned,
he IS OF the opinion that malice and
meadacity prompted this new false
hood which at the proper time and
in the right place he viii be found
ready to deny under cath. As it is
useless t. dispute with one who
never Cairly meets an opponent or
tSuthfuny states his position, he will
not further notice, in these columns,
such personal caIumnies, hut, as
heretofore, viii treat them with
silent contempt.
