MALICE OR ENVY?

We would like to know what au-
thority that person or persons had
to poison their neighbors' dogs. The
noblest specimen of the genus caais,
as well as the commonest cur, is liza
bic to enter your yard, and how do
you know that some little children,
toddling into your place one day,
will not be poisoned also? For the
sake of little inconvenience, or an
noyance, would you poison child?
What spirit of the internal deep
urged you to scatter poison around
the town indiscriminately? Malice or
envy?

"There is no creditable reason why

The concessions chat Chile has made
on the main question deprives the

the United States can, if she pleases,

A KANSAS IDEA.

ARKALoN, Kas., Jan. 27.-There
can be no longer any doubt as to the
purpose of the Springfield leaders of
the recent mobs. Judge Botkin has
received private but reliable intelli-
gence of their ultimatum. 1t is that
the county attorney must drop the
prosecution of those under arrest, all
warrants must be recalled, and no
more arrests made. The under sher-
if must be removed and the sheriff
must appoint as under sheriff man
to be named by j. F. Van Voorhis
and G. L. Calvert. Judge Botkin
must resign and dozen or more of
his friends, whom the mob leaders
are to name, must at once move out
of the district. The wishes of the
leaders must be consulted by the
governor in the appointment of
successor to Judge Botkin.

have ever been permitted to set foot
within the cloisters of the monastery
of Santa Barbara, in California. And
even after their visit, the grouud

secrated with solemn ceremonies and
much fasting and prayer. The mon

twenty-four missions established in
California by the Franciscans, at the
close of the last century, and is the
only one occupied by the friars of
the order.

WOMEN AS INvE NToRs.

While those who decry women
use as one of their chief arguments
the statement that women have no
inventive faculty, women, it seems,
from the actual official returns, go
straight on inventing. Not to speak
Of Catherine Greene, the wife of
General Nathniel Greene, who un-
doubtedly invented the cotton-gin,
and whose second husband induced
her to abate her fear of ridicule and
claim an interest in it; or of Mrs.
Walton's achievements with noise
deadening, with smoke-burning; and
with similar experiments, there are
many other inventions by women,
of equal Importance.
One woman has invented a method
of converting a barrel of oil into l0,-
900 cubic feet of gas; another has in
vented a sewing machine that needs
no threading; others have invented
the ruffling and quilting attachments
to such machines, and arrangements
for sewing duck and leather. One
such attachment made fortune for
Miss Helen Blanchard, and a new
baby carriage brought to its inventor,
a woman, the sum of $l5O,000.
Another woman has invented a
superior street sweeper; another,
spinning wheel carrying as many rs
forty threads; another, plan for
heating cars; another, screw crank
for steamships; and cham elevator,
a horshoe machine, a reaper and
mower, danger signal, and SO on
without end, owe their existence to
me brains of women
1t was Miss Knight who invented
a complicated machine for making
the square bottomed paper bag, and
refused $4,000 for the patent; and |
who also invented another machine |
that does the work of thirty pairs of
hands in folding these bags.
1t is Mrs. Armstrong who has in
vented machine for feeding cattle
on trains; it is Josephine Davis who
has invented an arrangement of
lamps and rubber cloth for hot vapor
bath at home; Mrs. Beastly, a ma
chine for turning out complete bar
rels by the hundred; Anna Conolly,
a practical fire escape; Mrs. Bailey, |
an attachment to beds, by means of
which the patient can raise and
lower himself. And among all these
inventions, none is perhaps of more
pleasing and grateful character than
that of Mrs. Nancy johnson, who
invented the first ice cream freezer,
but who, not so wise as some of her
sisters, sold the patent for $1,000, all
ice creams previous TO her crank
having been made by a slow and
labonous stirring.--Chicago Journal. I

A FALSE STATEMENT DENIED.

A writer in the Bulletin, dating
from Naalehu, Kau, says that the
offer made by the publishers of the
KUoKoA and PAEAINA, native
papers, that any person who had
paid in 1891 81 for the above
papers in advance would be en-
titled to the consolidated paper
for two years, has been repudiated
by the present publishers.
The statement, signed by Sub
scriber," is absolutely false, and the
books of the KUoKOA show that the
paper is now being sent without
charge to over one hundred per-
sons who paid 81 in advance as
above And every subscriber who
has made good his claim is receiv-
ing the paper free, on the condi-
tons published.

THE ROBINSON CASE.

The decision of the Supreme
Court in the Robinson will case
is of such general interest that
we will again allude to the ques-
tons of law which it decides.
The will devised certain land to
the sons, John and Mark, for the
life of each, and at their death
over to their respective heirs, and
the residue of the estate over to
trustees, to pay the income to the
childrenin equal one-eighth shares.
At the death of each child such
share to go to his or her heirs.
The widow of John was the sole
devisee under his will, and claimed
that she was entitled to all the
land which had been devised to
John for his life, and to all the
eighth share of which he had the
income for his life.
And so she would be entitled, as
far as the land is concerned, if the
common law of England were law
here. The Court holds that it is
not law in Hawaii, and, therefore,
the widows claim under the will
is lost both in the land and in the
share of the residue of the estate.
The children and the trustees
claimed that the widow, although
an heir by statute, was not the heir
intended by the testator, whose in
tention to keep the estate in his
own family would be defeated un-
less the word "heirs" used in his
will were held to mean, as it does
at common law, an heir of the
blood of the ancestor. The dis
tinction is between the "haeres ma
tus," or statutory heir, and "haeres
factus," or testamentary heir. The
Court decided against the trustees,
that the widow took as one of her
husbands heirs at law, meaning
statutory heirs.
The Court, while adhering to it's
view that it has the right if it
thinks fit to follow common law
rules, claims that it is not bound
to do so.

NTI-BELLAMY.
HAWAIIAN GAzETTI

Eugene Richter, the leader of
the so-called Freisinnige or Liberal
party in the German Reichstag,
has published a pamphlet called
Pictures from the Socialistic
Future" which is a masterpiece of
polemical literature In the form
of diary kept by an ardent So
cialist, which opens on the day
when the red flag was hoisted on
the public buildings of Berlin, the
pamphlet sketches all the chang
ing phases of the Socialistic state,
it's discomforts, it's tyrannies, it's
appalling mismanagement, its cruel
overriding of the natural sympa-
thies and instincts, from the day
when the new order was inaugur-
ated with universal rejoicing up to
the time when, short year later,
it ended in a bloody counter revo-
luton.
The book is not wanting in hui
NOR and pathos, and one follows
the fortunes of the little family
described therein with a steadily
deepening interest. 1t will, doubt
less, be translated, in which case it
will circulate widely, and be sure
to operate as powerful antidote
to Bellamy's Looking Backward"
What one feels most deeply,
after laying down a work like this,
is the folly of trying to create a
social order in which public spirit
would be the only force which
could keep things going, when
there is not public spirit enough
as it is to keep things from stag
nating-not enough to widen a
street or push forward any reform
involving the least self-sacrifice.

A MASSACHUSETTS BALLOT.

We are indebted to the kindness
of Mr.. F. j. Lowrey for a specimen
of the ballot used in the State
election in Massachusetts, last fall.
The ballot contains the name of
each candidate, the office for which
he runs and the party which NOM
mates him. The names are separ-
ated by lines and a space set
apart for the cross opposite
the name of the candidate,
At the top of the ballot are placed
the words "to vote for n person
mark a cross (x) in the square at
the right of the name" Moreover.
at the head of each subdivision
containing the names of the
candidates for the several Offices
are placed the words, "Vote for
one," or "Vote for two" as the
case may be. 1t is impossible for
anyone who knows how to
read to make a mistake in
marking a ballot Of this kind
Had ours been printed on the same
plan, a large number of now dis,
satisfied voters would not have
been disfranchised by their failure
to comply with the precise provi.
sionR of the statute.
In order to have a ballot similar
to that in use in Massachusetts, the

editor, could one be found or
trained, need not expect to lead an
easy, INDECENT, or wholly joyous
life-to be blessed by archbishops
or followed by the approving
shouts of ascendant majorities !;
out he might find some recon-
pense for their loss in the calm
verdict of an approving conscience
and the tears of the despised and
the friendless, preserved from utter
despair by his efforts and remon-
strances, might freshen for sea-
son the daisies that bloomed above
his grave.-[ Horace Greeley.

THE EDITOR.
to do so,

1t only remains to me to speak
more especially of my own voca
ton, the editor ,-which bears
much the same relation to the
authors that the bellows blowers
bears to the organist's, the players
to the dramatist's. The editor,
from the absolute necessity of the
case, cannot speak deliberately;
he must write to-day of to-day's
incidents and aspects, though
these may be completely OVERLAND
and transformed by the incidents
and aspects of tomorrow, He
must write and strive in the full
consciousness that whatever honor
or distinction he may acquire
must perish with the generation
that bestowed them. No other
public teacher lives so wholly in
the present as the editor; and the
noblest affirmatiOns of unpopular
truth-the most self-sacrifcing de-
fiance of a base and selfish public
sentiment that regards only the
most sordid ends, and values every
utterance solely as it tends to pre-
serve quiet and contentment,
while the dollars fall jingling into
the merchants drawer, the land
jobber's vaults, and the miser's bag
can but be noted in their day, and
with their day, forgotten. 1t is
his cue to utter silken and smooth
sayings,-to condemn vice so as
not to interfere with the pleasures
or alarm the consciences of the
vicious,-to commend and glorify
labor without attempting to expose
or repress any of the gainful con-
tr.vances by which labor is plumb
cred and degraded. Thus siding
dexterously between somewhere
and nowhere, the able editor of
the nineteenth century may glide
through life respectable and in
good case, and lie down to his long
rest with the non-achievements of
his life emblazoned on the very
whitest marble, surrounding and
clarifying his dust. There is Il
different and sterner path, l
know not whether there be
any now qualified to tread
| it, am not sure that even ONE
has ever followed it implicitly, in
view of the certain meagreness of
its temporal rewards and the haste
wherewith any fame acquired in a
sphere so thoroughly ephemeral as
the editors must be shrouded by
the dark waters of oblivion. This
path demands an ear ever open to
the plants of the wronged and the
suffering, though they can never
repay advocacy, and those who
might support newspapers will be
annoyed and often exposed by it !;
a heart as sensitive to oppression
and degradation in the next street
as if they were practised in Brazil
or Japan; pen as ready to expose
and reprove the crimes whereby
wealth is amassed and luxury en-
joyed in our own country at this
hour, as if they had only been
committed by Turks or Pagans in
Asia some centuries ago. Such an
