II this is to be the keynote of the
Administration, the sooner it is
found out the better. Ii brave
words are to be backed up by weak
actions, let US know what to ex-
pect. IL the Minister of the In
terror is simply to be the recording
clerk of an unseen and Unsuitable
mob of office-seekers, instead of the
responsible representative OF the
people, let him say SO, and the
people and the Legislature viii.
govern their action accordingly;
but the present weak-kneed policy
of good Lord, good Devil, is neither
one thing nor the other. 1t does
not placate the spoilsmen, and it
certainly disgusts honest citizens
The action of the Administration
concerning this appointment is be
ing watched with anxiety, as il
may be the turning point of THEN
fortunes. Although the appoint
ment lies entirely with the Minis
ter of the Interior, the whole AID
ministration will be judged by it.

Ambitious. But Slightly Left.

I'm not an Italian bandit,
But gentleman sort of a chap
A Teller OF some cultivation,
Brought up on old Governor pap.
There wasn't much margin for spreadin'
While playin' the student at Rome,
But tell you, my boys, there's bound to
be noise,
Now that Pm safely at home.
Pm in for lark
Some night when it's dark,
And them which is up'll come down.
So harness the cattle,
There's somethin' must rattle,
A Teller of talents in town
And now, my kanakas, we're started,
Keep up your magnificent pace;
Pull on, till your Champion Smiler
Is hauled to some lucrative place;
Dash on, though the wheels of ambition
May grind some poor hearts in the dust
Don't care a condemn for trifies like
them
The biler must bile or bust.
Whoa Steady! Look out
What's this you're about?
Is it boltin', or kickin', or which?
My! Isn't it rocky?
0 Lord, they've gone balky!
And am alone in the ditch.

Africa Portioned OF Between Germany
and England.
England and Germany have ar
rived at an amicable settlement of
their dispute with reference to
their colonial territories in Eastern
Africa. According to this agree
ment, the German Sphere of Infiu-
ence is to include most of the terri
tory south and east of the Lake
Victoria Nyanza. while the Eng
lish Sphere of Influence is to in
clude all that is north of line
stretched from Mombisa on the
coast to the middle of the eastern
shore of the Lake Victoria Ny
ANA up to the borders of Egypt
and of the Italian Sphere of Infiu-
ence. In addition to this, England
is to have the protectorate in the
Sultanate of Zanzibar, and receives
in connection with this very impor-
tant cession With and the islands
of Manda, Patta and Somali, COM
prising a coast line of over two
hundred miles. The British Sphere
of Influence is to include all the
territory lying between the first
degree of south latitude, the south
ern borders of Egypt and the coast
and The Congo Free State. England
has every reason to be satisfied with
this arrangement, but there has
been a most outspoken denunciation
of Lord Salisbury's negotiations be-
cause he has offended English sus-
ceptibility by ceding to Germany
Religoland. small island lying
north of the mouth of Elbe. Mr.
Stanley approves the agreement
and praises Lord Salisbury for hav-
ing accomplished for Great Britain
a remarkably favorable arrange
ment. He is delighted with the
result, and thinks that the future
of Africa is particularly bright
Mr.. Stanley has himself been APP
pointed to the Governorship of the
Congo Free State, and it is under
stood that he has accepted the
appointment, and will shortly re-
turn to Africa, with his bride, to
take charge of that immense terri
tory. This is quite as important
an event for the future of Africa as
the agreement concluded between
Germany and Great Britain.-Ex'

Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Akopua, wife of the
Rev. S. l.. Desha, pastor Of the Hail
Church at Hilo, died at the residence
of her father, Mr.. S. Kekumano, at
Napoopoo, South Kona, Hawaii, on
the 10th of September. DR.. A.
Mouritz with promptness and great
kindness and attention did all in his
power to save her, but God, in his
all wise and inscrutable providence
had otherwise determined. The de-
ceased was only twenty six years of
age.
The remains were borne to the
old mission church, where approp-
riate funeral services were observed.
There the great grandfather of the
deceased had worshipped more than
sixty years ago. There, too, her
grand parents and their families still
worship.

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
SP0ILS.
September, 1890.

Lie present administration is
now on trial before the country. 1t
is not intrinsically a strong one,
being somewhat of a compromise
in character; but there is a general
feeling among the conservative
portion of the COMMUNICATIVE
portion which desires good govern
ment for it's own sake, and not for
the spoils of office and the pick
ings of official patronage-that the
Cabinet should be given an oppor-
tunity to show what it will do, and
to judge it on its merits as evil
denced by It's actions.
The defiant reply of the Cabinet
to the champion of the spoilsmen,
Mr.. Marques, caused sensation of
satisfaction throughout the COM
munity. This feeling received a
decided damper when Captain
Trip was almost Immediately
after made Port Surveyor. How
ever excellent gentleman Captain
Trip may be, he is not one in
whom the community has conf
dence as a proper incumbent to fill
this position.
A day or two later the commun-
ity received a distinct chill when
three members of the Cabinet
united in partizan move to hound
DR.. Kimball out of office, without
any charge of mal-administration
or failure to properly discharge
the duties of his ocffie, having been
made against him. This action
was peculiarly fragrant, because
the Cabinet had assured him of it's
support, and the Doctor was sim.
ply acting as the executive officer
of the Board of Health, of which
the Attorney-General is member.
Moreover the action was taken
without consulting with the Attor-
ney-General and while he was alb
sent from the House.
1t is now openly claimed by the
spoils faction that they have Sc
cured another scalp; that DIR.
Tucker, the Superintendent of the
Insane Asylum, is to be removed.
and DR.. Oliver appointed in his
place.
We are credibly informed that
Minister Spencer has admitted the
truth of this claim, and while ex'
pressing perfect satisfaction with
DIR. fuckers administration, says
that I" he cannot stand the pres

The writer sums up here the points
which he has %cndeavored to make clear:
that the freshets OF the Mississippi river
and its important tributaries are not due
to the melting OF the winter SHOWS that
since the upper Mississippivalley freshet
occurs as late rs April and the floods OF
the Missouri occur in June and july,
and further, as both of these rivers ara
at q low stage during February and
March, they cannot and do not materi.
ally contribute to the floods OF the lower
Mississippi, which, occur in late March
and early April: that If all tho water in
the upper Mississippi and lower Missouri
rivers was %impounded, leaving St. Louis
a city on n dry creek, the floods on the
lower Mississippi river would none tho
less continue that the floods inthe cen.
trail Mississippi valley, between Cairo
aud Red KiversLandins,. could not be
materially ameliorated Embarrassing the
number OF outlets into the Cult below
Red River Landing, since, as the out.
how measurements show, the Mississippi
river Ia unable to carry bank.full The
flood which pours by Vicksburg ia

sisslppi valley below the mouth Of the
Red river are, in q measure, distinctive

delta region. In fact, any method which
increases the flow Of the river or the
rapid discharge: ot water from the Mis-.
s'sslppi. valley above Nicksburg mus
lnuse to the disadvantage Of the delta
country. On the other hand, the aug.
menting Of the flow Of water i'm the
delta country can only incidentally aud
slightly ameliorate the flood conditions
OF the central Mississippi region.

ANCIENT FEET,
They We're Much Larger thnn tho Modern

They We're Much Larger than tho Modern
Ones.
Shoe and LEATHER Reporter.
A noticeable thing about tho statues
found in our museums Of art, supposed
to represent the perfect figures Of an.
cient men and women, Is the apparent.
ly jisproporlionate size OF their feet.
We moderns are apt to pronounce them
too large, particularly those Of the fe.
males. 1t will be found, however, that
for symmetrical perfection these feet
could not be better. A Greek sculptor
would not think Of such u thing
as putting u nine.inch foot on a
five and-one-half-fo woman, Their
types for theDe classical marble figures
were taken from the most perfect forms
OF living persons. Unquestionably the
human loot, as represented by these old
sculptors, was larger than the modern
one, and, in fact, the primitive foot OF
all people OF whom VI have any record,
either in printing or statuary, was con.
siderably larger than the restricted foot
Of modern times. The masculine foot,
forming M approximate average OF four
different countries, was about twelve
inches long. This would require at least
a No. IL or 12i shoe to cover it comfort.
ably. The average masculine foot to-day
Ia easily fitting with a No. s! shoe, and Is
therefore, not above ten and seven.six.
teenths Of an inch. Now, by the old
sculptural rule Of proportion, a mau 5
feet 0 inches in height should have a
foot III inches long, or one.sixth his
height. 1t was OF no great consequence
what size sandal he wore, but he would
have required a modern shoe Of at least
a No. 104 for a minimum tit or a No. II
for real comfort. For women, allowing
the difference in the relative size Of the
two sexes. which was about the same
then as now, a woman OF five feet three
in height would have had a foot
ten inches long, requiring q modern
shoot ought to be spoken Of only in
whisper-No. 6 as the most comforta-
BILE for that foot or a No. 81 as the limit
Of torture. The reason for the differ
ence between the old classical foot and
the modern one is obvious. Restriction
is what has done it.

Romance Of IN Umbrella.

While working in an.umbrella,f factory
in Sheffield, England, about three years
ago, Miss Annie sHodgsonl wrote her
name and address on an umbrella which
she had just completed. The result
brought about by this careless action is
quite romantic. Along with hundreds
OF others tho umbralla was shipped to
this country. at New York it was sold
to,a merchant and finally reached Long
Lake, Hamilton county and was pur.
chased by a young mar named jerome
Wood. Some weeks passed before he
noticed the name on It's interior. Then
he wrote to the young woman whose
name was on tho umbrella. She an.
swered., The correspondence thus
strangely started listed until her dc.

ner residence in Troy Us ,housekeepel
for her brother, After some time she
went to Palmer's Falls, thence to Rae,

during the summer at "The Antlers.'
