UNDER the head of "Can't be

day, published a part of what we said
about the difficulties under which the
last issue of this paper was got out,
aud said:
The GOLD LEAF appears on time, as
bright, full of good reading matter,
and as neatly printed as ever. Bro.
Manning has good grip on news
paper work in the mechanical as we'll
as literary departments, and such a
man is not easily downed.
We copy the above tor the purpose
OF emphasizing one fact, and that is
the longer we remain in the newspaper
business the more thoroughly are we
convinced that every publisher of a
weekly paper at least ought to be
master of the mechanical department
if he is not of any other. We do not
claim to have any superior "grip on

cal knowledge and experience with
every detail, and we have found this
our greatest aid in attaining what lit.

OUR congratulations to the Colds
boro 1,gns, or rather the proprietors
of an important new manufacturing
enterprise in that city who have done
themselves credit by the delicate COM
pliment paid the paper in giving their
establishment its name. The Argus
Knitting Mills sounds we'll, and if
their popularity shall be in keeping
with that of the Argus newspaper,
which has labored SO industriously for
Goldsboro's good and the develop
ment and growth of manufacturing en-
terprises in its midst, its success must
be all that could be desired. The put
ting on foot of such industries through
out the State is a matter of very great
encouragement, and the GOLD LEAF
wishes each and every one the fullest
measure of prosperity.

HEATHER PRACTICES.

1t is commonly reported that the
leaders of the 'Hale Naua' society
offered heather sacrifices in Kona,
Hawaii, last week, for the success of
the National Reform" ticket. It
seems, however, that only the lesser
offerings, such as the white chicken,
red fish and black pig, were offered.
The browning act of the ancient
ritual, and the keystone of the whole
system of idolatry, the human sacri-
ice, was wanting. 1t is a pity that
the present laws of this Kingdom
should stand in the way of the scien-
titic and antiquarian pursuits of the
"Hale Naua" society.

The Political Situation.

Mr.. EDITOR: Consistency. thou
art a jewel" But the inconsistency
of the claim of Bush, Rosa, Wilcox
& Co, in their campaign rallying
cry is not a jewel. Hear one of
them: Il stand before you tonight,
gentlemen, as a champion of the
working man. am not working
man, but l am here to uphold your
rights. l am not planters man.
1 am against the planters. Gentle
men, 1 have received from Honolulu
the platform of the National Reform
party. The working mans party,
gentlemen, x = * and have sworn
under this platform to uphold the
rights Of the working man, gentle
men,"
The above is a fair specimen OF
the logic of Bush, Wilcox & Co., in
their campaign against the Reform
Government. The above, although
spoken by candidate of the Ma
tional Reform party" on Hawaii. the
words as well as the sentiment
seemed so much like the speeches
reported of Bush, Wilcox 4 Co. from
Honolulu, that thought the gentle
man was rehearsing one of their
campaign speeches hashed over for
the occasion. One of the inconsis-
tent parts 1 wish to call your atten-
ton to is, that such men as Bush,
Rosa, Wilcox & Co., should claim to
be champions of the working men,"
when according to their own show
ing they are not working men, and
of course know nothing of the wants,
the wishes, or the feelings of the
working men. 1t is doubtful, should
they be elected, if they would ever
attempt by word or pen to benefit
the working men, as when they held
power before the revolution. they
never spoke or crooked their finger
to bless the laboring man, by giving
him labor or political rights; and all
the advanced positions now held by
the laboring man, to settle IL the
country, to vote, hold Office and

ELECTION OF COLONEL.

Considerable has been said within
few days past about the coming
election of a Colonel under the Mill
tary law. The law fixes the second
week in February as the time for a
nomination to be made. Upon read
ing the law, however, it is little
difficult to understand how any cleo
ton at all can take place this year.
The Act became law upon the oath
of July, 1883, and although an cleo
ton, or nomination rather, was made
within the time prescribed by law,
Colonel Ashford was not commits
stoned, if we are correctly informed,
until August, 1889. The law says:
"a new nomination for Colonel shall
be made in the second week of
February of each alternate year, sue
ceeding the commissioning of the
first Colonel hereunder" 1890 is
certainly not an alternate year fol-
lowing 1889. For many reasons it
would be better not to have the gen
eral election and that for Colonel
come within a week of each other.
With only one Battalion it is diff
cult to see why we need a Colonel at
present.

l. Because its prominent leaders
are opposed to the new constitution.
2. Because it proposes to revise
the constitution in some unknown
way.
3. Because it proposes to modify
or abolish altogether the property
qualification.
4. Because it proposes the election
of certain public officers by the peo-
pie. (Which is not known.
5. Because its declared foreign
policy is dangerous to the Recipro-
city Treaty, and consequently to the
commercial prosperity of the coun-
try.
6. Because it is unwise to abandon
a party which has deserved we'll of
the country.
7. Because change of Admins

misfortune, and will be injurious to
our credit abroad.
s. Because the candidates Of the

ceptions, composed of men either
without any record or with a bad
one.
8. Because the party has con-

of public funds; the violation of law

THOSE GIFTS.

Mr.. Widemann made q statement
at a political meeting on Friday
evening last. to the effect that the
French Government had made com
pensation for the Kings yacht Kane
hameha, which was unlawfully seized
and carried off by Admiral de from
elm, in 1S49. at the time he seized
and held the Honolulu fort. 4 gen
tleman who has resided here since
1S49 says that this is the first init
nation that has ever been made pub
lie that these gifts were sent by the
French Government as compensa-
ton for the yacht. Certainly moth
ing Of the kind was ever published
regarding them. If such gifts were
sent from France and received by
the King as compensation for the
yacht, no one knew anything Of it as
such, and the value Of the presents
named could not have been the tenth
part of what the yacht cost the King
$4,000. If this was all, it was nc
compensation for an outrage which
was condemned by all European anc
American statesmen as wrong per
petrated by powerful nation on ;
weak and unoffending sovereign
who had no means OF redress. Mr.
Thurston was perfectly justified il

The Present Gov rnment.

The Present Gov rnment.
Mr.. EDITOR: A word for the
present Ministry. There seems to
be great cry from certain quarters
against the present Government,
which is as fierce as it is unreason-
able and to me altogether unac
countable. What in the mischief
have they done or left undone to
cause this uproar?
One would suppose they had COM
mitted some great crime, leopard
lied the lives of the people, the in
terest and security of the Kingdom,
and were likely to bring ruin and
disgrace upon every living thing.
Might I ask the reason of all this
clamor. which must strike every
reasonable and observing person as
uncalled for, as it is unjust, as well
as lacking that fairness which every
one loves to see exhibited to all
parties.
This Government may have COM
rnitted some error of judgment, but
it has done vast amount of good,
evidences of which are seen every
where, and in every part of the
Kingdom, and its benefits are felt
by everybody, the poor as well as the
rich.
1 will go further then this, and
say that this Government has not
only done much good, but a grand
and noble work; for have they not
put down corruption in high places,
and given justice to all; have they
not secured the peace, prosperity.
and credit of this country, which
was lettering to it's fall?
Again, did they not bring order
out of chaos, establish good govern
ment, adopt good laws, stop all
wasteful expenditure, and better
still, started at once to make i'm
provements, which can be seen by
anyone.
Another thing in the favor of this
Ministry we believe them to be
honest men, and we believe they dc
that which is right and just and what
is for the best interest of the people
And better still, the people have
confidence IN them and believe that
the same feeling will be shown
throughout the Kingdom when the
| proper time arrives. OBSERVER.
