David Jacobs and Mary John
son, white, convicted of poisoning
Mary's spouse, were to be hung at
Chesterfield G.. III. last Friday.
Doubt of their guilt was strength
ened by their persistence in de-
claring themselves innocent, and
strong petitions for communication
had been sent to the Governor.
After tho doses had been adj
justed and they yer literally "on
board" for "that undiscovered
country, from whose bourne no
traveller returns" the Governors
secretary handed the sheriff a re-
prieve staying the execution for a
month.
1t is charged that the reprieve
was signed several days previous
and that the Governor withheld
it to the last moment in anticipa-
ton that with death in a few
inches of them, the prisoners would
confess. For this his Excellency
is being condemned in some quar-
ters as an %"inquisitor" and the crit
icisms have been cOuched in very
harsh terms.
Surprising that the facts as
stated are true, it was the law and
not the Governor, which placed
the prisoners in their awkward and
annoying position and if they SUI
fercd more or less disquietude, it
was traceable to no act Of the Gov
ernor's. They would have found
the occasion equally unpleasant if
the private secretary had not
graced the ceremonies with his
presence.
We can see nothing improper in
the Governors taking advantage
Of the force circumstances brought
about in the course of purely legal
proceedings to aid him in the ju-
dicious exercise of his pardoning
power.

MIR. j. II. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-About
six years ago my daughter became
afflicted with a cancer of the nose,
Nothing we did prevented it's
spreading. Physicians finally told
me they could do nothing further.
She had no appetite and was re-
duced to a mere shadow. 1 concIu-
dcd to try your Lithia Water and
to my surprise in a short time she
began to improve in health and the
cancer ceased to spread. She is
now using your excellent water
constantly and is improving all
the time. Respectfully,
e.. l.. WATTS.

small Counties.

The aggressive movement OF ST.
Matthews, OF Orangeburg to- be
made a county seat and 10 have
created the new county of Calhoun
Is exciting discussion as to the
proper policy of the State in this
regard. A few years ago Ninety
Six was knocking at the .loors OF
the State House; then Bu.ier 10 tie
carved out of Edge6eld and Lex
ington. Gaffney city was clamor-
ing and also other localities that
we cannot recall.
There can be no question that
towns give better facilities for ed
ucation and schools and other fa-
cilities for development, and q
Court House is o nucleus for q
small town, But this argument
amounts to nothing. The conven-
fence of the inhabitants with ref
erence to their necessary business
as jurors, tax payers and parties
in Court are the main questions.
They should be within reasonable
distance of the seat of justice and
the public offices and when that
point Is secured, the argument of
convenience and expediency ends.
A Court House will not make a
town that amounts to anything.
A few Industries established Mt q
convenient rail- road point with
natural advantages will build a
town and soon overshadow the
Court House. Nobody inquiries If
the Court House adds anything to
the development of Columbia or
Sumter. The county business TO u
hourishing town is q mere Incl
dent. Without question, towns
arc centers of intelligence, and as
q general proposition the small
county suggestion should be en-
couraged. Let circumstances,
and accidental demands regulate
their establishment. The people
Of tho territory comprehended in
the proposed change are the best
judges and to their wishes the
Legislature should largely defer.

WANT RECIPROCITY.

Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
statesman, was given a public re-
ception to-day in Fancuil Hall by
prominent merchants of Boston,
members of the Chambers of Com.
merce and of the Executive Bust
ness Mems Association. John M.
Lane, president of the Merchants
Association, presided. Mr.. Lau-
rier, who was very cordially re-
ceived, SAID: ri wish to speak
about bringing about closer rela-
tions between Canada and the
United States. I represent one
half the people of Canada and
speak their sentiments. Our BAN
ner IS marked for great freedom of
trade, which we believe is neces-
sary, and this We have entered into
our political platform. We appeal
to Republicans and Democrats
alike, and care not how they differ
on other questions, but on this
question they should not go into
politics to settle it.
"The trade question is a great
one. One of your greatest parties
believes in free trade, while the
other does not. You believe that
to assist the trade of the United
States there should be protection
to protect your own labor. To
those who believe in protection
should say that such trade sys'
tenn would not be affected by reci-
procity. You could settle this
question without referring to the
subject of annexation. We, of the
Liberal party, are being accused OF
being traitors to our country, and
told that reciprocity would lead to
annexation. 1t would not. The
Canadian people are pleased with
the American people, and 80 am l;
but I never will discuss the ques
ton until forced to, and then [ will
not discuss it on q political basis,
but on it's own merits, It is not a
political question, but one of politi'
cal economy.-[S. F. Examiner.

Chances to buy fine Lots in Honolulu
are daily growing fewer. At that sale Will
be offered the Seal Lot on the E. SIDE OF
Makiki street, opposite the Lishman place:
The premises have front on the street OF
300 feet and depth of 80 feet.
1t is proposed to offer this fine property
in three lots, each having front of lOO
feet and depth of $40 feet, thus making
beautiful building Lots. Cars which run
every 20 minutes are not over minutes
walk away. Such an opportunity to get
beautiful home lot will not soon be offered
again. The premises are planted with
shade and fruit trees, besides roses and
other shrubs.
Besides the above, there will be offered
one fine lot of about half-an-acre In Sea-
view, back of Punahou, which also makes
a good building lot, having beautiful
outlook and pleasant surroundings.
Also a small parcel of land In South
Kona fit for coffee or other uses.
Also an undivided fOur-ninths interest
in two pretty lots near the Waikapu Plan
tation buildings in Waikapu, Maui and
also an undivided third in So acres in Pae-
ahu, in Honuaula, Maui, of which IS acres
are in one lot near the sea, and 5O acres
are near the Kula road in three lots.
This land is all of the finest quality, and
well worth anyone's attention either as an
investment for future rise or present Gull
tivation.

THE BOOT ON THE OTHER LEG.

A week or two ago the ADvER-
TlsER published two valuable con-
tributed articles on the Previous
Environment of the Portuguese.
These articles have reused the ire
of our Portuguese contemporary
the Union, which claims to have q
monopoly on the Portuguese, and
resents any infringement on it's
preserves. 1t comments freely on
the we'll worn themes of the greed
and sel6shness of the sugar barons,
whose organ 1t appears the ADvER-
TIsER is, and charges this journal
with not discovering the merits of
the Portuguese until just before
election. It condemns the contract
labor system and advocates CO.
operation.
Now, isn't the boot on the other
leg? The editor of the Union
was member of the last
Legislature. He was identified
with two measures, one creating a
corps of political workers called
cantoneers-probably on account
of proclivity for looking too deep
into the canteen-the other regu-

lating the actions of people who
were about to die. Nothing, how
ever, was heard from the editor of
the Union about cooperation, then.
On the contrary, he was at later
period an agent of the sugar barons
whom he now denounces, and was
seeking to procure Portuguese con-
tract labor to supply their planta-
tions With Moreover. two years
ago or Whereabouts the advantages
of cooperation in sugar for the
Portuguese was urged upon his
attention by gentleman who may,
for ought we know, figure in his
imagination as one of these same
sugar barons. A further fact which
seems relevant in this connection is
that a fair cooperative plan was
worked up and proposed to the
Portuguese by the agents of EVA
Plantation, but was rejected. So
far as we are aware this offer is
still open.
On the whole, it looks as though
the accursed and selfish sugar
barons had shown disposition to
do more for the Portuguese than
the highly disinterested editor OF
the Union, and as though that same
editor had been himself reminded
of the beauties of cooperation by
the coming elections, and not much
else. In short, it would seem that
the Union has been throwing stones
at the ADVERTISER at a time wher
it would be wiser for her to look
to her own house.

UNATTENDED DEATH 8.

In another column we publish a
letter calling attention to the NOR
tuary report, which deserves the
earnest consideration of our read
ers. The high death rate and the
number of unattended deaths are
very grave facts, and the public
attention has often been drawn to
them in the columns of this journal,
but hitherto no remedy for the ex-
listing evil has been found. The
high death rate is chiefly caused by
the decay of the Hawaiian race,
and should not be interpreted as
an indication that Honolulu is an
unhealthy city. The unattended
deaths are largely of Hawaiians
and Chinese, and are not so much
cases of restitution or neglect as
carelessness and ignorance in neg
Letting to summon q physician.
How the evil can be remedied it is
not easy to say, but the Hawaiian
papers can do much in urging upon
their readers the Importance of
caring for the health, conforming
to sanitary principles and summon
ing a regular physician in all cases
of serious illness. Here is an in
viting field in which a genuine
lover of his race can benefit it
far more substantially than by agi-
tation in the interest of universal
suffrage.

Christmas Novelties is to the |
cultivated mind a collection of
beautiful shapes and colors.
Our stock, to which an in
speCtion is invited. has been |
selected with a view to please
the fastidious, 1--WE use the
word frequently because it is
appropriation this community,
consequently it will please you.
Come in and examine it but
don't hurry. You may as we'll
try and see the wonders of
Kilauea in the glare of the
MONDAY sun or the beauties of
Niagara by the aid ola lantern
after dark as to view our stock
by rushing in our front door
and out the back. It takes
time. Take it deliberately and
you will enjoy it. Buy in the
same manner.
In selecting our stock, the
best judgment of a careful
buyer has been exercised; the
best onlyin every instance has
a place with us in the matter
of goods for our customers.
Brass goods have been the
coquettes of the Hardware
trade ever since we have been
in business. In the East the
prices have been up one day
and down the next. We we're
fortunate in getting our last
lot at a time when the cost
was less than formerly. An
emergency in one of the
largest manufactures in New
York brings the lamps, tables,
and everything else made of
brass to you at a price you
have always paid for imita-
tons. We don't lose anything
by it 1--WE forgot to ask how
the maker will come out), and
you're the gamer. That's the
part that interests you. We
sell you a table this year for
about half what you paid for
one not half SO good last year.
It's the same with Lamps and
Chandeliers. They're cheap
if you want one, dear if you
have no use for it, but we
think you have.
If you have any doubt where
the lamp business is being
done in Honolulu, take a peep
in our store. And we don't
ask you to buy. We do ask
you to see them. Our stock
is worthy your confidence, we
want it and when we get il
you'll buy.

MILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.

Great Increase in the Amount Paid Out to
Pittsburg Veterans Nearly Q Million
the Past Quarter-The Old-Timers Now
adays Rapidly Dying OF.
There are at present between % COO and 3d.
600 pensioners carried on the rolls of the
Pittsburg Pension Agency and Pension
Agent Bengough states that new ones are
being added at the rate of IS per day, under
the operation of the act of June q, 1890 The
Pension Commissioner informed Mr.. Ben
cough, while the latter was in Washington
recently, that the adjudications of new
pensions under that act have been ], 800
day, which would give an average of 100
day at each agency.
This is the quarterly pension payment
month, and the Pittsburg agency up TO
Saturday evening had paid 6,7ss pensions,
and the remainder will all get in this week.
The amount of money distributed ut this
533 ~.
Mr.. Bengough states that the roll is grow
ing rapidly under the last enac actment, but
large proportion of the applicants will not
last long, there being much sickness among
the veterans, their death roll in this district
now averaging Is day. Under the last law
no surviving pensioner gets above $l2 a
month, and no widow more than So month,
and the amount of arrearage is small, $50
being the most due, running from date of
application.
It is now 30 years since the first enlist
ments, and great many veterans were con-
siderably more than of age in 1861, conse-
quently they are now generally considera-
bly, past middle life, and are dropping by
the wayside at a rate that in the course OF
ten years to come will greatly decimate their
posure that has had more effect to shorten
life than wounds would have had.

Arrangements Completed for the Allegheny
Jubilee Day Celebration.
The regular meeting of the High School
Committee Of the Allegheny Board of School
Control was held last night. All the old
teachers of the High School, with the excep-
tions of E. E. Miller, head teacher OF mathe-
matics, and Prof Woods, assistant teacher
of Latin, were reelected by acclamation for
the following year. Prof. Miller had re-
signed, having been elected principal OF the
North avenue school. James Z. Morrow was
elected to fill the vacancy caused by Prof-
Miller's resignation. The vacancy caused Dy
the resignation of Prot. Woods, and the ad-
ditional position of assistant teacher, created
by the board, were filed by the election OF
PRESLEY e. Farrar and s. g. Nolan. Miss
Lang, assistant teacher of mathematics, was
transferred to the Latin department, and
Mr.. Nolan placed in the department OF
mathematics. Mr.. Farrar was not assigned.
The Jubilee Committee of the Board OF
School Control also met last night to arrange
for the jubilee of the schools on June 70.
Scandrett reported having received SO far
500. On motion it was decided that the
different wards take the same positions they
had last year. The same rules and regula-
tiions as we're in force last year, prohibiting
Copenhagen, ETC., were adopted for this year.
The matter of each ward furnishing its own
music was discussed, but no action taken.
All bands open for an engagement on that
day were requested to communicate with
Secretary Sandrett at his office in the High
School.
