POLITICAL AFFAIRS ABROAD.

Inc foreign news by the Ala
media is of more than usual inter.
est. Dispatches from Chile are
contradictory and perhaps equally
unreliable when representing either
side of the question, but the bal
ance of evidence as far as we can
Judge at this distance appears to
be in favor of the insurgents. From
Iquique in the north it is reported,
February 9th, that the insurgents
are maintaining a strict blockade
of the town, and that 1t is only a
question of a few days or hours
when they will have complete con-
troll of the city. A German steamer
arriving at CalIao reports a Chi
lean corvette presumably insur-
gent patrolllng the Straits of Ma
gellan, and at Coronel, coaling
port in the south, she saw the
Esmeralda fire repeatedly on the
forts of the town and drove the
rebel troops on shore inland. The
blockadIng vessels in the port of
Valparaiso keep q strict watch
over the port, and would not allow
the Roma to enter, she accordingly
landed her Valparaiso freight at
Coquimbo. A small sheet printed
at Valparaiso says, CUP to Janu-
airy 31st IquIque, Valparaiso and
Conception remained faithful to
the Constitution and supported the
army which is periodically defend
ing the interests of the people and
nation. AT Santiago the largest
meeting ever held in Chile passed
resolutions calling on President
Balmaceda to give proof of his
patriotism and change his political
advisers. The Supreme Court in
Santiago has endorsed the conduct
of Congress, and stated that vari-
Gus acts of BaImaceda since JAN
uary lst are illegal. The British
ships Champion, Acorn, and the
Pheasant are on the Chilean
coast and the Flagship Warspite
expected momentarily, February
9th, at Valparaiso. Coqulmbo and
La Serena are aiding the insur-
gents. The U. S. S. Baltimore is
expected to arrive in Chilean
waters in the second week in
March, when, it is supposed, Ad-
miral Mccain will shift his flag
from the Pensacola to the Baltl-
more. 1t is also probable that the
Charleston will join the South Pa
cific Squadron, instead of the San
Francisco which will be attached
to the North Pacific Squadron as
Flagship of Admiral Brown.
The Canadian elections up to
March 9th, give the numbers as,
III Conservatives and SO Liberals,
being a majority for the former of
"a, with five constituencies yet to
be heard from. This, though a
majority than was expect
ed by Sir John Macdonald and his
friends is held by the Conservative
party to be satisfactory.
For Hawaiian news which is
really new we must look abroad. |
At Chicago, on March 9th, Mr.. |
of San Francisco, who is |
8 thoroughly acquainted with Ha-
waiian affairs" says, ~ believe the |

My foot Aermotor, which furnishes
water for 200 head of stock, will pump III a
wind that will not move other 10 to ii foot
wheels.
1t cannot be compared with others in light
winds, while in strong winds it regulates
itself much better and quick than others (;
but one of its finest points to my mind is
that it does not Jar the pump at all.

1t is said that the other mills do not re
quire pulling to sell them but we observe
that 1t takes great many strong putfs of
wind to make them go after they are sold.
An occasional testimonial does no harm and
We think they do some good, they show the
state of the public pulse SO far as windmills
are concerned. The following are culled from
thousand, not merely for what they ex-
press, for there are others louder in their
praises but for the character of the people
who furnish them.

GENTLEMEN:-I have had the foot Aermo-
tor placed in position on Maunaloa Ranch
anddesire to express to you the genuine salts
faction feel at the work it has done. 1t
runs smoothly and revolves in the slightest
wind. One strong point in its favor, in
addition to its doing all you promised it
would do, is its absolute freedom from noise,
a fault so common with every other mill l
have ever seen.

These are but few of many testimonials
in our hands, We could publish more of
them bat printers ink is not given away in
Hawaii.
We advertise the Aermotor now simply
because it is a new thing here and we want
to bring it before the public, it wont be long
before the mills will advertise themselves.
We will be glad to furnish prices and
more detailed particulars to parties who
write us or, if persons interested in Aermo-
tors will call at our store we will show them
working models erected on fitting towers.
We have the sole agency for these Islands
and the Aermotor can be obtained only
through US.

During recent visit to Maunaloa Ranch
the wind was SO light that it was not be-
he7ed that any mill could run, half dozen
ordinary mills were motionless but the
Aermotor was pumping water enough to
supply the requirements of several hundred
heads OF stock. This is the usual state of
affairs and is evidence enough to convince
the most skeptioal that the Aermotor is the
greatest windmill on earth. An eight foot
geared Aermotor vii! pump water, saw wood,
turG the grindstone and grind the feed for
the stock at the same time. 1t Will, by its
labor saving qualities, add twenty years of
solid comfort to its owners life, it will add
to his bank account and do every thing but
drive the hens to water or make them drink.
We now have these mills on each of the
group and in every case they have proven
perfect success, III every instance they have
done more than was expected and have,
consequently, given the greatest satisfac.
ton. We believe the sale of the Aermotor
on these Islands will be enormous and that
they will ultimately take the place of every
other make.

ABOUT WINDMILLS

The utility of Windmills on these Islands
has never been clearly illustrated for the
reason that until the introduction of the
Aermotor by the HAWAIIAN HARDWARE
COMPANY there was not mill that would
meet the requirements of the purchaser or
that could be made TO run in localities where
the wind Is, at times, SO light that it is i'm
possible TO make the old style wooden wheel
turn around. The Aermotor is constructed
of steel so light, yet strong, tbatit moves
with the slightest wind nor is it affected in
any manner In tie seyerest gale. 1t is an
absolute fact that the ordinary wooden mill
viii remain motionless on account OF scare
ty OF wind while. at the same time the
Aermotor will be pumping water.

WILL NOT TAKE THE MONEY

WILL NOT TAKE THE MONEY.
That is an interesting question of State
rights which has been raised in South
Carolina. It concerns the division of the
States share of the federal appropriation
for mechanical and agricultural colleges.
At the session of the State legislature
which adjourned last December an act was
passed providing that the quota to be re-
ceived by South Carolina should be
divided into two equal parts, one-half to
be given to the Clemson agricultural col
lege for whites at Pendleton and the other
to the Claffiin college for colored youths
at Orangeburg. A few days ago Governor
Tillman addressed letter to Secretary
Noble, applying for South Carolina's quota
Of the fund appropriated under the act of
congress approved August 30, 1890. In
reply, Secretary Noble objected to the
method of division decided upon by the
State Legislature, and informed the governor
that the States quota was at his disposal,
to be divided between the two colleges on
the basis of the proportion of the school
population. This proportion, under the
census of 1890, was 36.7 white and 63.3
colored, and the secretary announced that
it was only by pledging division on this
basis that South Carolina could get he1
| money. Governor Tillman promptly
raised the issue that the money was due
| South Carolina and that the secretary OF
the interior had nothing whatever to dc
with the division of the fund. The secre
tary was very sure he had, and Governor
Tillman has refused to take the money
under the conditions laid down by tn,
| secretary.
| Congress and the supreme court viii
| probably be called to consider this matter
At present it seems quite certain tina
| South Carolina is in the wrong.

The Seriousness of Life.
Harmon IF pb;liinq Rroogs1

The age which has had Carlyle for its
prophet and which has fought out our war
against slavery has not lost its Puritanism.
But the other side of our life-how far it
is from the first facts of life, from God,
who is behind and below everything!
When listen to our morals finding their
sufficient warrant and only recognized au-
thority in expediency; when 1 behold our
politics abandoning all ideal conception of
the nations life and talking as if it were
only great mercantile establishment, of
which the best we can ask is that it should
be honestly run: when / see society con-
ceiving no higher purpose for its activi-
ties than amusement; when I catch the
tone of literature, of poetry and of ro-
nance, abandoning large themes, studi-
ously and deliberately giving up princi-
pies and all heroic life and making itself
the servant and record of what is most
sordid and familiar of what is
most uncomely and unclean; when think
of art grown seemingly incapable of any
high endeavor; when consider how many
of our brightest men have written the
word agnostic on their banner, as if not
to know anything, or to consider every
| thing incapable of being known, were q
condition to shout over and not to mourn
over-when / see all these things and
catch the spirit of the time of which these
things are but the exhibitions and the
symptoms, cannot help feeling as if out
| of this side of our time there came some
| thing very like the echoes of the old He
brew cry, "Let not God speak to us, lest
we die" We are afraid of getting to the
| roots of things, where God abides.

A Wonderful Year.


To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Hsop was a wise man in his own gener-
alton, and there have been those who
stated that the Bible, Esop and Shakes
pear were our three most valuable heir
looms. So far as 1 understand the first
of this trinity of books, the Advent is
its one sole theme. There would have
been no need of Bible had it not been
for Adams errors in Eden. From his ex-
pulsion thence, until the first Advent, in
1896, A. NJ, the hope and expectation of
Messiah was "the desire of all nations"
and from his ascension, in 1929, A. D.,
his return or descension,-''in like man

Christianity! have no sympathy with
any other sort of allegiance than that
which is consistent service in whatever
ranks one enlists; and am free to say that
could not call myself "Christian" and

pulpit where, from one years end to that
of another, no mention was ever made of
this momentous event, declared by its
Principal as always imminentD AS to
the past failures of undigested

and evinced belief in s'Moses and the
prophets" The present sentiment of the
world upon advent matters reminds me of
Esop's fable of the cry raised as to the

and at last the people paid no further
heed to it. 1t was then, as you remem-

this quaint old Grecian, and take due pre-
caution whenever the well meaning calcu-
1ators announce a closer result than for

proximations is behind us!
Finally, grant you that these "mid-
night cries. are unwelcome, and also pre-
sumo that they bring due share of ''the
glance -askance" upon one who does not
hesitate to raise them when he feels it to
be his duty so to do. AS for the under

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRATION.
Mr.. Wolf of Washington, naturalized
citizen of German origin, and of high at
tainments as scholar and publicist,
suggests an educational qualification as a
remedy against undesirable immigration.
The test proposed by Mr.. Wolf, if applied
to every batch of immigrants that arrive
in our various ports, would, it is estimat-
ed, shut out from this country about one
in every two hundred from Germany, while
it would keep away as many as eighty per
cent. of the Italians, Hungarians, Poles and
Russians.
This suggestion is we'll worth attention.
certain amount of education does not, it
is true, necessarily carry with it a certain
amount of moral character, but it would
be great saving in various ways if many
of the immigrants knew a little
more. Something must be done. The
report of the Union League club commit
tee did not put it too strongly when it
said: While we have taken into the body
polite vast body of honest and inteli-
StuL lOTelSuerS, WIZ udfe dCCepGeu aucT-
lean citizenship in good faith, and who
have contributed their full share to the
prosperity and glory of our country, we
have also taken in such a flood of ignor
ance, pauperism and crime, and clothed it
with the full panoply Of citizenship, that
Americanism is being diluted and assailed
in ways that are truly alarming. We are
unable to assimilate so much ignorance,
pauperism and crime without great danger
to the body polite. The illustrations of
this danger are innumerable all around us.
All the better elements of this country are
overtaxed in dealing with this flood. Our
religious, benevolent and educational in
stitutions are appalled in the presence of
the demands upon them. The time is
propitious to agitate these questions be-
fore it is too late, and see if something
cannot be done to save our country and
our institutions from the peril that men

counties and municipalities of the United
States IN 1890. The debts of the States
amount to $1s2, ,s36, $50, those of the coun-
ties to sill, 5,a24, 1856, and those of the
municipalities to $455, ,s73, $40. The total
is $70s, 1885, ,5i4. This is nearly $50, ,000,-
600 less than the net national debt, but It
is over $S9, ,000, 900 less than the Interest,"

observed that the aggregate indebtedness
of municipalities is not much less than
twice as great as the total indebtedness Of
the States.
Some people are strongly opposed to
making Phillips Brooks q bishop. One of
them writes thus in the Boston Trans
cript: Phillips Brooks is not only the
greatest preacher in America; he is per-
haps the greatest preacher in the world,
one of the greatest preachers all time. Can
he afford to take step which would limit
this power, and can the earnest people OF
Boston and of the country see the posi-
bility of it without protest, or without re-
greta and who can doubt that the official
position would limit this prophetic powera
The conflict between the great preachers
preaching and the doctrines of his Church
as commonly held is notable and deeply
felt by all, whether welcomed or deplored
by this one or that. Did he preach the
same sermons as bishop, the conflict
would be felt vastly more deeply.
One of two things would surely
follow; there would be strife and trouble
in the Church, or the boldness and aban-
don which now mark the great preachers
sermons would grow less and less marked,
and, while 1t is quite impossible that he
should ever decline to the commonplace,
the prophet and reformer in him would
inevitably suffer. 1t is precisely because
they desire this latter, and because they
expect it would follow, that many mem
bers of the Episcopal Church to-day wish
to make Phillips Brooks a bishop. They
wish to do what the conservative folk of
England have always done or tried to dc
with their Pitts-shelve them in their up
per house.
