CHAIRMAN DALY's RETIREMENT.

Although Marcus Days intended
retirement from the craftsmanship OF
the democratic state committee has
been long announced, and his rea-
sons therefor have been recog-
nized as all-sufficient, it is with gen.
uine regret that his party associates
consent to release him from a post
whore he has battlsd so faithfully and
successfully for the principles Of d.
mocracy. More to him than to any
other man, perhaps, the party is in
debted for victory in the late campaign.
The sagacity he displayed in forcing the
fight upon the issues that most vitally
affected the people, his prompt recog-
milton Of the strength Of Mr.. Dixon's
candidacy, the quick Intuition that
led him to trust to the sense Of justice
among intelligent republicans to right
the wrongs of last year-all these things
made democratic success possible in a
campaign that to many democrats
seemed almost hopeless. In resigning
the craftsmanship Mr.. DAILY becomes no
less a democrat and the party will enjoy
for many years, we trust, the benefit of
his experience and wise counsel, as it
will always bave his cordial support. In
Mr.. I. r. Collins the state committee
has secured a chairman worthy to sue
coed Mr.. DAILY. He is an able and
.sagacious business man who has had
long experience in politics and public
affairs, and brings to this duties of the
office an admirable equipment for a sue
cessful administration.

Statistics showing the Men and Money
Lost in War In Thirty Wars.
According to the estimates of French and
German statisticians there have persisted in
the wars Of the last thirty years 2,50O.OOt
men, while there has been expended to car
ry them on no less than the Uncomfortable
sum Of $t3.OOO,O COO, 900, says the Chicago
Mail. or this amount France has paid
nearly 49, 800, COO, 900, while her loss in men
il placed at 155,00O. OF these $1,000 were
killed on the field Of battle, 5000 died OF
sickness, accidents or suicide, and 10000 in
German prisons, while there died from
other causese enough to bring the number up
to the given aggregate. The sick and
wounded amounted to 477,421, the
lives Of many thousands OF
whom were doubtless shortened by
their illness or injuries. According to Roth
q German authority, the Germans lost dur
ing the wal $1,000 men killed or rendered
invalid and $60O,0O0.ON in money, this
being the excess Of expenditure or OF ma
terial losses over the 81, 250.000,OO0 paid by
France by way of indemnity. DR.. Engsl,
another German statistician, gives the fol-
lowing as the approximate cost Of the prin :
cipal wars Of the last thirty years: Cri.

All these wars were murderous in the ex-
IRENE. The Crimean war, in which few
battles were fought. cost 10000 lives. only
600 less than were killed or died Of their
wounds north and south during the war Of
the rebellion. These figures, it must be re-
are German and might not agree
precisely with American estimates. The
n Chinese expeditions cost
500, 100000 and G5.0O0 lives. There were
10000 killed and mortally wounded during
the Russia-Turkish war, and Al, 1000 each in
the Italian war Of 1859 and the war between
Prussia and Austria. In the other wars the
loss of life was relatively less, which did
not make either the men or the money easier
to part with IN the more limited areas where
they occurred.
This is but a part of the accounting,
since it does not include the millions ex-

HO FOR RIOT

Republican Brazil means business.
The bloodless character of the upheaval
which drove the late emperor from
power, and the peaceful course OF the
republican administration of affairs
since that event, both prove that. the
present form of government enlists the
popular sympathy and ecure the pop
ular approval. Sympathy and approval
r both we'll merited. The wise and
progressive policy, which has character
ised every action of the newest OF
American republics, is the best guaran.
tee for it's endurance and success. The
country is a magnificent one and fairly
teens with natural resources, which
only require to be better known to be
more thoroughly appreciated. The re-
public is awake to the needs of the stu
alton. 1t proposes to perform the over
ture to the great Columbian show of
1888 by an exposition of its own in Jan
uary of that year, and Rio de Janiero is
to be the scene of the gathering.
The people of the United States
ought to lend to the scheme both en-
enlargement and assistance. The short
sighted policy Of a prohibitory tariff.
which was so emphatically condemned
at the polls in November, nowhere shows
its deleterious effects more distinctly
than in our business relations with Bra,
I'll. There are many Of it's products
that we import in large quantities, such
as sugar and coffee. On our side, We
have numerous articles Of merchandise
etc, that would find a ready market il
the southern republic. But high tariff
has driven American shipping from the
seas, and the Limitation Of our Brazilian
trade is only n of the many disastrous
results that have followed in it's wake.
Every year England purchases some
seventy. million dollars worth of Bra.
lillian exports, pays for them in English
goods, ships them to England in English
ships, and reships them to the United
States in English ships again. 1t is t.
be hoped that the Rio exposition vii
open the eyes of our statesmen and mer
chants to the possibilities OF Brazilian
commerce, and that a revision Of the
tariff by a democratic house Of repre-
sentatives will transfer the profits oil
this American trade to American
pockets.

GLOVES N O
Some Hints About Their Selection and
Their Preservation.

Some Hints About Their Selection and
Their Preservation.
Well gloved and we'll booted, a lady can
carry of a shabby dress with an air that
will leave an observer in doubt as to
whether the latter is not merely the result
OF a caprice, and not the result of poverty,
says q writer in the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat. 1t is said that the wolf at the door
takes first to worrying the buttons off the
gloves, nibblinR holes in the tips, to eating
the gloss off the boots, and thrustinQ his
lean nose into them, causing bullying and
cracks, before he attacks anything else.
Good gloves and well-made, lasting toots
cost money always, but no others are worth
anything at all. A cheap glove and boot,
no matter how seductively the adver-
tisement of them reads, are a snare
and a delusion, and the wise
woman will have none Of them, but
will strain a point and have the very best.
This IS true economy, as every day they are
worn will convince the wearer. But like
fine animals, these fine articles deserve fine
care. The dainty kid will harden if exposed
to the Air, SO when you pull of your gloves,
have ready a piece of tissue. OF, better still,
a piece of chamois skin or oiled silk, and
wrap them carefully with q fold between
each one, before putting away in a box with
a close lid. When You remove your boots
don't throw them in with your muddy over
shoes. or the pair you have cast aside. and
which are beginning to mold, for nothing
is more infectious than the rot that attacks
kid. A shoe-bag with several compart-
meHts for the several airs 10 very conven-
lent and keeps the boots nice.
In selecting gloves, it is well to avoid very
delicate or unusually tinted kinds, except
where purchased for evening wear, as these
not onl y soil very easily, but will not bear
cleansing as will the darker shades. Tight
gloves are an extravaganza, as they break
quickly and will not bear mending. As soon
as purchased the buttons should be sewn
on. or you will find them popping off Just
as you are starting to church, and late at
that, or when your lord and master has lust
declared that he would not wait another
minute for you. as you don't deserve to
hear the opera: In buying boots consider
three things: Your comfort. the natural
shape of your foot, and the
number of pairs you can afford to
have. If confined to one, select q
neat black pair in lieu of the yellow or
russell ones IN vogue. II your foot is a short,
broad one, don't squeeze it into a long mar
row boot because the salesman tells YOU
the latter IS more aristocratic; and wear
neither too small nor too large q size. for
both and equally produce disense of some
sort. To have several pairs of both boots
and gloves will be found a saving, for even
articles of dress wear longer for an occa-
slonai rest. Every car used by a railroad ia
allowed a certain period of idleness after n
journey, as they last nearly twice as long as
when used continually; and the same pian
may be followed with advantage in boots
and gloves.

lands that the state might acquire title
to are being taken UP by individuals.
Further delay IL injurious to tho rights
OF the state % we'll az those who settle
usxn school lands in ignorance Of their
true quality. At the Same time it offers
opportunities to selfish and sordid peo-
pie to Jump" land belonging to the
state and entail costly litigation in rc-
gaining possession. In the same line
are the recommendations regarding the
separation Of mineral lands from those
claimed by the Northern Pacific rail-
road under its grant. The recommends
tions in regard to irrigation, water
rights, tho stimulation Of agriculture
and the diminution in the size Of
ranches, are nll advocated with great
ability by the governor, and should re-
ceive the attention their Importance de-
serves. The vast empire within the
lines OF Montans is bound in time to be
the abiding place Of cultivators a the
soil, and cheap homes that will supply a
living to their possessors must Of neces-
sity be the attractive force that draws
immigration this way. The large reser-
vations Of the Indians are declared to be
useless any longer to those who hold
them. 1t is recommended that congress
be asked to reduce the size Of these
reservations by appropriate legislation.
Other recommendations are that the
state provide for q representation Of
her resources at the Worlds Fair;
that the militia be established on u
MORE economical basis; that taxes be
made delinquent OF Nov. 30 instead of
81; that a new state seal be
adopted: the establishment OF the bu-
reau ct labor and industry; that the
clerk OF the supreme court be paid a
instead Of by fees; for an add
tional judge for Lewis and Clarke and
another for Silver Bow county; the
reduction of the fees OF county
officers, which are declared to be unrea-
sonable and excessive; and the ~restric-
ton Of the classes of business which may
be carried on under the incorporation

Buchholz was very i'll when the
vessel left the Islands, and it was
hoped the sea voyage would do her
good. However, the fell disease had
made too great inroads into her sys-
tenn, and when she arrived here She
was too sick to be removed ashore.
1t could be seen that physicians
could do nothing for her, and her
husband did not wish to en-
ploy any. Captain Higerloh, how
ever, had been unremitting in his
attentions to the sick lady on the
voyage, engaged two of the best
in town who did all in
their power to alleviate her suffer
ings until death came to her relief
on November 18th. The flag of the

Cart. l. have already vested, may by
contract with the Government waive
certain of these "inalienabIe rights, -
authorize the Government to arrest,
imprison and deport him in case of
any assumption of such rights and to
keep back certain part of his wages
for the expenses of such deportation
or of his obedient but compelled re-
turn to his native land at the end of
his agreed term of residence without
process, ard further authorize the
government to confiscate such fund
IN case OF his assumption of the in
allenable right of acquiring property,
to-wit: if he shall enter any other
employment than that of agricultural
laborer. In other words, the Gov
eminent obtains it's authority for
making the exercise of ones inaliena-
bic rights misdemeanor and pua-
lshlng 1t as such, and for confiscating
his property for such exercise, with
out legal proceedings, from the indi-
vidual himself; such action being
otherwise obviously Objectionable
and illegal as inconsistent with the
constitutional guarantee of inaliena-
bic rights and as tending to class leg
islation.
Can an Individual confer any valid
authority upon the government or
other persons to deprive him of liberty
or the freedom of acquiring property,
through the stipulatiOns of contract?
rms question may be answered by
asking another: Can an individual
confer any valid authority upon an
other by contract to deprive him of
life? This, l understand, is allowable
IN China, but, clearly, it would not be
legal here without an amendment to
the constitution.
The rights of life, liberty, acquiring,
possessing and protecting property,
ana OF pursuing and obtaining safety
and happiness, belong to all men
within the limits of Hawaiian terri
tory and cannot be relinquished or the
control thereof assigned to others by
contract.
1 find, therefore, that the regula-
tons OF chapter 81 of the laws of 1890,
ABOVE set forth, and all other provi-
slons of the said chapter requiring the
assent OF the plaintiff to the terms of
the said permit as a condition of land
ing from the said ship Pactolus, lying
at the port of MahukOna, as aforesaid.
are inconsistent with his constitp,
tlonal rights and did not authorize
his detention on board the said shin,
and the other circumstances COM
planned of, whereby he was compelled
to accept the condition of the said
permit and execute the said contract.
This action on the part of the agents
or the government and of the defend
ant, being unauthorized, the circum-
stances under which the plaintiff
signed the contract constituted such
an interruption of his free agency as
to entitle him to relief if the state
ments of his bill are sustained.
The demurrer is therefore oyerruled
