Is the Lottery Dead or Alive?

Is the Lottery Dead or Alive!
Mr.. EDITOR: "The Lottery bill
is dead !" We acknowledge it we
all believe it; so we can rest com
placently, serenely and confidently
that this evil has passed away
from us for ever. There is to be
no more writing or preaching OF
trouble about this thing, because
it's dead-dead and buried.
But is the lottery scheme dead
"that's the question" We may be
caught mapping and pinning our
faith on false grounds-on delusive
hopes instead of solid foundations.
What evidence have we that it is
dead? Proof seems to be wanting,
or, at leIbili sufficiently strong to
establish my such belief. The fact
is, the contrary is more likely to
be the true state of things.
It has been fully demonstrated
to-day that it is still alive at any
rate, and still able to do some
lively kicking. We hear it con-
fidently stated that, so far from it
being dead, it is full of vigorous
life. 1t is like a giant refreshed,
and some fine morning we shall
wake up and find it sprung upon
the community, and then sleepy
Honolulu will awake amazed,
duped and deceived.
1t is not only the lottery but the
Opium bill and all the rest of the
schemes that are to be worked
through shortly. And why not?
IF the Legislature or Government
cannot grapple with the little gam
bling games now conducted by
Cinnamon, how are they going to
control the influence of these ex-
pert gamblers, with their money,
brides and boobies?
1t is a foregone conclusion that,
unless something is done, these
things will go through with a rush,
and we shall be left. We seem to
have thrown our arms down before
the battle has begun, to say moth
ing of achieving victory.
1t may be of interest to look into
this matter a little deeper, and see
where the wind lies. To jump at
conclusions and drop all vigilance
is not the most successful way of
winning battles or anything else
worth fighting for. G. OSBORNE.

WONDERFUL MACHINE.

Twenty-Five years ago in the city
of Rochester, n. Y, James w.
Paige began the work of construct
ing what at that time seemed an
impossible machine. Assiduous
labor, persistency of purpose, and
an indomitable will finally crowned
his efforts with success, and on De-
cember "a, 1890, in the city of
Hartford, the inventor saw his
work completed-a work which all
who have been granted the privi-
lege of seeing have pronounced the
greatest mechanical invention of
the age.
True, the machine does not talk,
says the Chicago Tribune, but it
reasons; reasons with its operator.
1t is type setting machine, and
is called "The Paige Compositor,"
and it does the entire work of com
position, set ng ordinary movable
type with fay greater speed, accu-
racy and artistic effect than has
ever before been accomplished by
any method. The machine auto
matically distributes, and at the
same time sets the type indicated
by the operator, automatically
spaces and justifes the matter
without mental effort on the part
of the operator, places it in a galley
ready for book or newspaper, as
desired, records the number oflines
set, and ''leads" the matter as and
when required. All of this is &C
complished by means Of positive
mechanism.
This machine is not to be con-
founded with any other machine,
nor should it be called a mere type
setting machine. To see it in
operation, to note with wonder it's
marvellous performance, one who
understands, and even one who
does not understand, the method
of type-setting by the human prin-
ter, would call the machine a COM
positor in the truest sense of the |
word, as it performs Simultaneous
ly all the work of a human COM
positor. In an apprenticeship of
less than forty days, an operator
has set sc, 121 ''ems" of solid, stan
dard nonpareil in eight hours, an
average of S515 GEMS" an hour.
These figures are wonderful when
one takes into consideration the
fact that the average printer
of to-day sets about 700 or 800 |
" ems" an hour with his time of
distribution also considered. The |
machine, as has already been said,
distributes its type while it is also
setting. The work is all done |
simultaneously.
The machine is run by one
twelfth horse power and is now in
private practical operation at Fiji |
teenth street and Western avenue.
1t is probable that the directory of |
the Worlds Fair will offer one SUI
preme prize Tor the best mechanical
invention of the age; also one for
that of electricity. For the former
"The Paige Composition" will be a
competitor. That it will be the |
successful one is instantly and I'M
stintedly accorded by all who have
been to see it.
II can print" says Mr.. Paige, "a
20O-page book, at cost of S., in
twenty minutes. The operator has
only to watch the keyboard and |
copy, and the machine will do the
rest. An operator can average |
three or four characters at each |
touch of the keys, and this ma
chine is the only one in the world |
for which there is no excuse for an
error in proof."-[Chicago Journal |
of Commerce.

SUGGESTIONS for Minor Industries.

Suggestions for Minor Industries.
Mr.. EDITOR: In view of the pre-
sent distressed condition of labor
ers IN this kingdom, 1 beg leave to
suggest a way whereby some of
them might be able to find profit
able employment. l refer to gath
ering the castor oil bean, which is
an article of commerce, and | am
told that it grows wild in all the
ravines and gulches of all the ISL
ands of this group. Sumach leaves,
also an article of commerce, grows
wild throughout the kingdom :;
these could be gathered by the
women and children. Sumach is
imported largely into New York
from Mediterranean ports and is
used for dying and tanning pur-
poses. Ready sale at the oil mills
In San Francisco can be found for
castor oil beans, in reasonable
quantities. About six years ago,
l sold six tons for some parties at
Honomu, Hawaii, to Kittle & Co.,
San Francisco, at "a cents per h.,
and they expressed a desire for
more. About the method of pre-
pairing the beans for market
know nothing, but they ought to
be dried a little, so as to stand the
pressure when slowed in ships
hold without damage. Hoping
these suggestions may be of some
value. | remain, very respectfully,
VIM. G.. GOODMAN.
