The Democrats are guilty in Michigan

The Democrats are guilty in Michigan
Of policy of revolution, IL takes the
form OF Gerrymaudering the State in
Congressional districts, and then OF
violating the custom Of the country of
casting the electoral vote of all the
states for president aud ,ice-president
by states, This il to secure for the
party benefit OF the sSindle in dis
tricting, and is walking very nigh
the dangerous edge of things First,
the Democracy have by nuliicsticn
OF the Constitution made the South
solid for themselves, and so established
sectional politics. They now propose TO
divide Northern states that are Republi-
can, except in such durries as gave the
Democrats the Legislature Of Michigan,
by gerrymandeting swindles. IL is the
old game Of the Solid South. The peo-
pie of Michigan NAV be relied upon to
rebuke this multiplying insolence, which
Is the base betrayal Of political trust
by gang Of reasonable eonspirators.
The dispatch OF Secretary Blaine to
Minister Porter which was published yes
terday In the Geographic columns of the
JOURNAL puts the finishing touch upon
the mastery correspondence which he
has conducted upon New Orleans affair.
Never in the history of the country
has matter Of this kind been handled
with more consummate ability and skill.
Evea Mr. Blaine's most bitter political
opponents have freely conceded to hin,
splendid diplomatic victory. The
whole matter has only served to
strengthen the strong held OF Mr.
1laine upon u hearts Of the Americas
people. 1t has been another test Of the
quality Of his stakesnarehip, the resul,
of which has eas,sd lesth The universe

THE HILo WATER WORKS.
We have seen the rates and
charges for water for town and must
say that we think the rates far too
high. As much is charged for water
in Hilo as charged for the same in
Honolulu.
Now Honolulu water works have
cost the Government. at a rough e.
innate nearly 100000, while we
suppose that the HiIo water works
will cost not over $4,000. We have
only about one mile of large three
inch main, while in Honolulu there
are miles OF ten and fifteen inch
pipe We believe. There is no diff
Guilty in getting water here, while
there, there is great difficulty 10 get
ting supply. This ought not to be soft
will prevent poorer classes from get
ting good water We think that the
lowest rate should not have tsen
over $40 per year. What the Min
lister of Interior was thinking about
when he made that price rate. we
cannot imagine. Again We protest
against our main reservoir being q
ten foot square redwood tank. In
case of fire and any accident hap
pens to the upper flume at the same
time not enough water could be had
to stop the fire. This ought not to
be thusly." Give us lower rates so
all can take the water.

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

DENVER, Sept. 13.-A passenger train on
the Union Pacific Railroad was wrecked
about II o'clock this morning near Beaver
Brooks Station, and twenty-siX passengers
were injured, five probably fatally. The
train was late, and running rapidly around
sharp curve the express car left the track
and rolled down fifteen-foot embankment,
pulling with it the mail car and two passen-
ger coaches. Tie train was loaded with
passengers, many of whom were Knights Of
Pythias returning from the State Conven-
ton at Aspen.
When the wrecking train left Golden Rob-
ert Pruin. an employe of the road, attempted
to board the engine. His revolver fell from
his pocket, the hammer struck a stone and
the weapon was discharged, the ball taking
effect in tho mans neck, making a wound
which will result fatally.
The most seriously injured in the railroad
wreck are: Mrs. Gutchmacher of Black
Hawk (COlo.); Rube Elgerner. Black Hawk :;
George B. Tarr, conductor; Burnett Ne
vadayille (Colo.), injured internally. The
less seriously injured are: E. L. Ward,

The cause Of the wreck is not know, ex-
actiy, but as the road was narrow-gauge
and the coaches very top heavy. it is thought
that the train was running too rapidly for

DeStitutiOn Among the Starving Peasants.
Scenes CT Suffering.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 13.-Day by day
the truth about the famine is becoming
known despite the efforts made by the Gov
ernment 10 prevent the press from publish
ing the worst facts. The situation is more
terrible than was anticipated. No language
is too strong to tell the distress that prevails
in some provinces. A well-knOwn clergy
man, who has been travelling in KaZan,
gives his account of what he has personally
seen. 81 cannot describe all l have seen,
but will give you some examples. A few
days ago l visited the village Of NaTedey.
Within the first half hour | met sixteen Door
creatures at the last extremity of woe Most
of q EN- had not touched a mOrsel of bread
for over a week. With distorted features
and garing eyes they gazed at me, many Of
them only Just able to stretch ont their
hands for the food offered them. Few had
only strength enough to eat They gen.
orally die before help comes. The longer
remained in the village the more misery I
discovered.
"Outslde the houses, in front of the church
and in other places were numbers of pale,
emaciated, sickly looking people-hunger-
stricken groups, such as are seen only where
famine reigrs Some of them aie quite
apathetic. They seemed utterly Indifferent
to all that was going on around them. They
were evidently resigned to their fate. Others
raved in their despair, moving about
ge sticulating wildly and crying, bread,
bread; do not let us starve.' Everything
eatabe has long since disappeared. The
mortality has increased in such alarming
proportions that in one locality, out of $50
families. forty-seven have died of hunger
Some strong words about the famine appear
now and then in the newspapers. One
journal declares that the peasants in the
valley of the VOlga are in state of utmost
destituti0n. They have neither clothes nor
food, and are wandering about in rags on
the verge Of starvation"
