Force bill to be impolitic,
shows that the negroes are
not hankering after the "pro
lection" which the repubIi-
cans in Congress are SO anx-
ious to give them.
To-day is 'laborday" and
it is being generally observed
by the Labor organizations
OF the city. They want Con
gress to make it a national
holiday.
The preliminary farce to
deprive another democrat OF
dissent breckenridge Of Ar
kansas--is going on in the
House to-day. 1t is hoped
that his constituents will see
to it that he comes back to
the next House with such a
big majority that even a re-
publican election committee
will Eot dare to question his
right to represent his people.
Representative Cannon,
whose vulgarity precipitated
the rumpus which ended in a
slugging match on the floor
OF the House last week, has
thereby so endeared himself
to Speaker Reed that he has
been asked to go up to Maine
and make some speeches in
his district. 1t is to be hop
ed that he will not use the
same language he did in the
House.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
For the Democrat

For the democrat
Senator Edmunds has ex-
posed the cloven republican
foot by his resolution for a
Congressional recess, instead
of adjournment, from Sep
-tember 10, to November 10.
Having by various methods
succeeded in getting a date
set for the disposal OF the
tariff bill-the most unjust
financial measure of the age
the republicans now pro-
pose that Congress shall
meet again after the Con-
gressional elections in order
thatit may proceed to, do
what it does not dare to do
before those elections. This
action Of Mr.. Edmunds was
taken because Mr.. Harrison
refused to assume the re-
sponsibility Of calling an
extra session for the sole pur
pose Of enacting odious polit
ical laws and n aking unnec-
essarY appropriations.
First and foremost, if the
republicans are allowed to
carry out their programme,
and they will not, unless the
united legitimate efforts OF
the democrats shall fail to
prevent it, will come the
Force bill, upon which the
republicans are already bank
ing to carry the Presidential
election Of '92 2their leaders

Next will come the Con-
gressionai and electoral col
lege apportionment under
the new census, which is to
be manipulated in the inter-
ests OF the republican party.
Ii only the question of right
and precedent were con-
sidered this apportionment
would be left for the Fifty
second Congress to deal with
so it has been since the
foundation OF our govern
ment-but the republican
party has never been in the
habit of letting little things
like right and precedent
stand it's way, and it is too
late to expect it to reform
now.
incidentally it is proposed
that a large number of bills
carrying large appropria-
tons which the shrewd lead
ers of the party temporarily
side tracked early in the pres
ent session are to berailrOad
ed through and in order to
carry this programme out
successfully a quorum of re-
publican Senators have, ac-
cording to Senator Frye,
who ought to be good re-
publican authority, agreed
to adopt a gag rule for the
Senate similar to the one
with which Speaker Reed has
bound the House hand and
feet.
Another nice little scheme
in connection with this recess
business is, that the pretense
is to be made that the meas
ures in which the Farmers
and the Labor organizations
are interested similar to the
compound lard bill, the a
mendments to the eight-hour
law, and to the alien con-
tract law already passed by
the House cannot be acted
upon unless those extra three
weeks are made use OF. The
object in this pretense is to
try and make it appear to

Two Good War Stories.

Congressman Allen, Of Mis-
sissippi, never tires OF telling
funny tails about the war.
Here are two:
A Confederate soldier in a Ger
tain regiment had become no
ted for running away from
every fight. On Que occasion
his Captain found him in line
as an unexpected attack
opened. Standing behind him
the Captain drew his pistol
and said:
Now, John, up to this time
you have run from every
fight. You have disgraced
yourself on every occasion.
Now, if you stir from the line
this time | intend to shoot
you dead. | shall stand here,
right behind you, and if you
start to run | shall certainly
kill you
John heard the Captain
through, and drawing him
self to an unusual height, re-
piled:
"Wal', Captain. you may
shoot me if sou like, but I'll
never give any low-lived, low
down yankee the privilege Of
doing it,"
At Murfeesboro a Confeder-
ate soldier wasruslling to the
rear with all the speed he
could com and. An officer
hailed him and sneeringly
inquired why he was running
so fast away from the Yam
KEGS. The soldier without
stopping yelled back:
"Because | can't fly.

Maui Matters.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the Bulletin
issued on the 9th is correspon-
dent, signing himself "Observer,"
complaining about the postmasters,
but the special target for his darts
is Mr.. J. Anderson at Makawao.
Oh dear, what crying injustice
not to give that post office, with its
splendid pay of SO per month to
4" Observer !" He drops the subject
quickly, however, perhaps because
he has an idea about the smallness
of the salary attached to it, and
then delivers a long and meant-to-
be-weighty argument against the
present mode Of engaging teachers.
He wants to be one for himself
probably, and | think he will make
first-class teacher. His style Is
eloquent, his sentences short and
to the point. If he is not made a
teacher or rather principal right
away, a petition ought to be sent
in his behalf to the Board of Edu-
cation. Certainly the following
sentence ought to qualify him:
F" why the teacher
resigns, and his place is filed
with another Importation, who
stands as helpless as his prede-
cessor not understand him and OF
whose in a houseful of children
who do language, intellect and
manners he is as ignorant, as he is

AN exchange by the last mail
says that there has just arrived
from Alexandra at Liverpool by
the steamer Pharos, a consignment
of nearly twenty tons of cats, num-
bering some 100000, taken out of
an ancient subterranean cats GEM
etery discovered about 100 miles
from Cairo by an Egyptian fellah,
who accidentally fell into this cats
cemetery: which he found com
pletely filled with cats, every one
of which had been separately en-
balmed and dressed in cloth after
the manner of Egyptian mummies,
and all laid out in rows. The
cargo was sold at auction, perfect
specimens bringing 3 to 6 shillings
apiece. The bulk. however, went
at about e6 a ton, and will be used
as fertilizers.

Lothario and ka-ha-ha.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of
18th inst. is noticed a communica-
ton from Maui signed "Ka-ha-ha, !"
in which this irate writer hauls
poor, innocent ''Lothario" over the
Goals for writing naughty "carp-
ing" article on the Board of Educa-
ton, the Postmaster at Makawao,
etc.
This sudden attack nearly paral-
lied your guileless swain Cloth
ario," who is conscious of no more
heineus crime than scribbling u
very inoffensive "sassiety" report
of a recent successful literary en-
tertainment at Kahului, in which
no mention whatever was made of
such dangerous, high political sub
jects as those above mentioned.
Will Mr.. "Ka-ha-ha," Or maybe
Ka hu-hu, would be a better pseu-
donym for him-please read the
article in question, and then have
the extreme kindness to peruse
another article, also contained in a
late issue of the Bulletin, which did
contain some very stringent re-
marks on the subjects alluded to in
his "overhauling," and he will find
two widely different signatures af-
fixed to the two articles. cloth
ario," though not claiming to be
such an accomplished ''literateur,"
as "Ka-ha-ha" evidently considers
himself, still has enough sense of
the 'eternai fitness of things not
to mix love with politics in the way
'Ka-ha-ha" charges him with do
ing, and moreover, he does not rush
into print with an attack upon
anonymous writer's without having
ascertained that he has got hold of
the right party and the right ar
ticle. In conclusion he begs to say
that, amusing enough, his political
sympathies are enlisted on precisely
the same side as those of Ka-ha-ha,
as evinced in the latter's article
but he rarely writes on political
questions, and least of all under the
signaturekof LoTHARlo.

Those HiIoites Wants.

Mr.. EDITOR: / have been a
reader of your paper for a number
of years, therefore please allow me
to make few remarks generated
by reading an article, headed "Po-
litical Meetings at Hilo" in your
issue of the 9Th inst. 1t seems to
me and doubtless to many others,
that the Hiloites have very large
heads, and extravsgant notions;
their wants as you may observe
run up to over $4,000 in hard
cash, but their greatest need, is
clearly lunatic asylum of which
they say nothing.
We were promised a little over
two years ago, economy in Govern
ment affairs, and that should not
be forgotten; would further re-
mark that appropriations for the
various districts should in justice
be proportionate to the amount of
takes paid by each. Economical
government is wanted, and now is
the time to remind our Mobiles and
Representatives of that fact, for we
do not want to see the country run
into debt, or to have taxes raised,
on any consideration or preteXt
whatever.
The letter of your correspondent
c. 81. Dickey also under date April
8th is refreshing as it expressed
sound views on educational mat
tiers" and it is apparent to all OBJ
servers that we have small army
of loafers growing up on these
Islands and something should be
done to encourage industry instead
of idleness, in the rising generation.
Yours truly. MAJORITY.

Presentation.

Prof. II. Berger, our esteemed
bandmaster, was very busily engaged
on Saturday, consequently when he
went home late in the evening from
the Opera house tired out, he was not
long before he was safely in the
arms of Morpheus. On Sunday
morning, on looking around his
room, he found that he was the re
cipient of a very handsome present
which had been left on Saturday. 1t
was silk bag containing one dozen
handkerchiefs, with his initials beau
tifully worked on each one. On the
bag was the word "Aloha" embroi-
dered in the most skillful manner.
Accompanying the bag was a note
thanking him for the valuable SER
vice rendered at the recent concert
given by the Kawaiahao Female
Seminary pupils, and then followed
the signatures of all the pupils. Mr..
Berger worked hard for the success
of the concert, and it must be very
gratifying to him to be SO kindly re-
membered.
