HONOLULU, II. L., Nov. 9, 1892. The
excitement of the Presidential election
will be over ere you receive this, but we
out here are not wholly devoid of excite
ment Our legislature has voted out three
stalled in office yesterday, viz: Mark P.
Robinson, (native) Minister of Foreign
Affairs; G. n. Wilcox, (white) Premier
and Minister cf the Interior; p. c. Jones,
(white) Minister of Finance; Cecil Brown,
(white) Attorney General. The Queen and
legislature have been at war; but | really
think that this Cabinet will stick, because
they are men whom the community at
large has confidence in, and are good men.
1t is to be hoped that they will put an end
to this clashing and that the affairs of the
government may 90 on i'll peace, for the
country is on the verge of bankruptcy.
There has been a steady drain on the
laboring class here, for the States, for the
past year, and business is at a standstill
There are those trying to whoop up the
Islands. and boom the place, but it does
not work "worth cent, > with the politics
and government in such fix. There are
no tourists coming, to speak of, and no
capital being invested. and cannot be with
affairs as they are. We can have no pros
perity here in business, or in the country it
SELF until a sound government is estab-
lished.
We had mock election here yesterday
and Cleveland got - votes, Harrison &C.,
Weaver ,, and 4 scattering. 1t is claimed
with a Cleveland administration that the
sugar men would have a better showing.
They even think, 50 | am told, that the
sugar law would be repealed so they could
get the cents per pound more which they
are losing. But the Republicans here
would only look for free trade.
After all, tell the young men of Maine
to stay at hcme. Uncle Sans domain is
good enough for any one

month, and it makes us think OF the pleas

Memories OF Other Days.

If the farmer boys of to-day had to use
such tools as were in use seventy five
years ago, they might well call farming a
hard business. Then there We're no NOW
ing machines. horse rakes, horse forks, or
drag rakeS. The moving, raking and
pitching was all done by hand There
were no threshing machines the grain was
all threshed with fails. Hay and grain
was hauled in. or to stacks. on sleds called
ploughs were things unknown. and wood
en- ploughs and spiketooth harrows We're
in use.
The road from Unity to Belfast was a
bride path by spotted trees through dense
forest. Grist mills We're far apart and
farmers often carried their grsts on their
backs long weary miles through woods
Raising flax was special industry and the
variety Of operations, 10y breaks, swingel
and hatchel, through which it passed be
fore being twisted around the distatf up
on the linen wheel. would form an inter
esting chapter. The homemade tow and
linen. and cotton and linen cloth of those
days, did not wear out III making.
One old farmer in this neghborhood,
anxious TO raise a fine crop Of flax, pre-
pared piece Of ground very carefully,
dressed it we'll and expected big crop,
and fearing it would lodge lie drove down
crotched sticks and laid poles in them to
hold up the flax, but the plants nevel
reached the poles: they grew up about
half way and there stopped as if frighten-
ed. This was because of wet ground and
a wet season.
Railroa,iing, steamboating and tele-
graphing are all of more modern date.

General Isaac Dyer, Department Com
mander of the Maine G. A. r., has issued
general order No. 9. He takes this occasion
to congratulate the department upon its SOL
dierly march and manly bearing at the re-
cent national encampment. He calls atten-
ton of the posts to the subject of recruiting
and says: "The department commander has
recently written letter making a personal
appeal to each of our 165 post commanders,
with the exception of -, who have filled
their quota. Why not close the year 1929
with rally that will show that the COM
rades of Maine have not been asleep. There
is material right at hand at our doors ten
thousand in Maine are yet outside, according
to the United States census.
"Our aims, our objects, our record should
awaken the enthusiasm OF all and bring
many more of the old soldiers and sailors
into our order, who have not yet realized its
fraternity, charity and loyalty. The sus-
pended list is also good ground for an effort.

Wreckage and debris piled up on the streets
and for time it seemed the whole place
was in danger. At the Edgar Thomson
Steel Works, the blowing mills were
threatened for long time Despite
the best work of the men, these
furnaces were finally flooded. Pumps were
put to work, and hundreds of men turned
in to save the entire mill from the flood.
Late last night the waters were subsiding,
and it is believed that the mill will not be
Obliged to suspend operations, as was
that many of the large mills lining the
river bank are flooded, and have been
obliged to suspend operations No loss of
life has as yet been reported, but nothing
has been heard from the country districts
A great deal of wreckage is seen in the
river, which is rising rapidly, and only
daylight will tell the story of damage.
The entire district around Washington
was flooded, but the city proper escaped
with but little damage. The districts east
OF the town were'in great distress Most of

places resembled a cloud burst. Horses
and cattle on farms bordering along the
Monongahela river were swept into the
river and drowned. Crops are reported in
q terrible condition. Fields and farms
have been washed down, and hundreds of
acres are bare of crops, which but lately
were covered with grain.
At late hour Lieutenant Johnston of
the Third district passed the word along
the line tor the officers to notify all persons
in the low districts to move out as it was
feared the food would reach higher than at
first supposed owing to the high water
caused by the backing up of the Mononga-

THE TEACHERS WIN,

Allegheny School Controllers Adopt the
New Books Recommended by Those
Who Use Them Children Mnsr be
Vaccinated-Other School Matters.
A joint meeting of the Allegheny Board
of School Controllers and the school teach
ers of Allegheny was held last night. The
meeting was the regular monthly one OF
the Controllers and the teachers met with
them. as is required by law, to express their
opinion as to the text books to be adopted
by the Board. The teachers had the privi-
lege of expressing their opinion but had
no vote on the selection. About
fifty teachers and several prin-
ciples were present. The battle
was confined TO two books, grammar and a
history. The Board had before it a major
lty and minority report from the Commit
tee on Grades and Text Books. The major
ity report recommended "Maxwell's Gram
mar" and "Anderson's History" and the
minority recommended instead "Tarbell's
Lessons in Language" and "Montgomery's
History" All the teachers and Principal
jackson, of the Third ward, were favorable
to 'Tarbells Lessons in Language" and
"Montgomery's History" and after some
argument the minority report was adopted
and the teachers were victorious.
A report was received from the High
School Committee recommending that the
salaries of the head teachers of the High
School be increased from 81, 900 to 81, 200
per annum, and the assistants increased to
$50 per year instead of sliding scale from
$3.50 to $3.50. The recommendations were
adopted. The increases affect six head
teachers and three assistants.
The Second National Bank of Allegheny
was chosen as depository for the school
funds. Heretofore the First National Bank
Of Allegheny was the depository.
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Mclaughlin,
the Secretary was instructed to call the at
tention of all teachers to the rule requiring
all children to be vaccinated, and requiring
them to have physicians certificates to that
effect.
