The New York situation continues to be the
most interesting Of any to the two older parties.
What is the state Of David b. Hills mind. the
future Of municipal politics in New York, the
effect of the Mckinley tariff on the back coun-
ties-these are the great points now, although
democrats include with them the extent OF
Plstss pacifcation. 1t Is certain that as yet
nothing is settled. and that the ultra optimist
is the greatest enemy of his party on either
side. The battle is Yet to be won, and more
than two months yet remain for the fluctuations
Of political warfare

The English are very fond of showing us how
our system Of government would work more
smoothly il We wonld assin1ilate it to theirs.
Americans have, without admitting the full
force Of transatlantic objection, a chance TO
rstort that the English might learn something
from US in sundry matters. Thus. the absurd
custom Of sending a new minister back to his
constituents q few weeks after his election is
both costly and unnecessary. 1t is positively
unjust to the minister. who may have had some
difficulty IN securing his seat the first time On
the second round, il his enemies are active and
his friends take things for granted, he is sub
jeeted to the humiliation OF defeat and the
necessity TO accept the place made vacant for
him elsewhere by some obscure member Of the
party. Mr.. MOrley's election in Newcastle is a
case in point Having opposed the eight-hour
law, this able statesman, Mr.. Gladstone's Tight
hand man in the home rule contest, has given
offense to the labor organizations and they
have put up candidate in opposition. He
barely succeeded in the general election some
weeks ago. and he has had all he and his party
could do to pull through in the second poll.
That poll might well be dispensed with under a
system which organizes the new government

The Columbus celebration at Genoa suggests
. train Of reflections very honorable to that
ancient city, the remnant Of one Of the most
vigorous Of the italian republics of the middle
ages and of population remarkable for its eour-
age and enterprise in ancient times. Valiant in
the wars Of Hannibal on the side Of that great
general against their hereditary enemy, Rome,
the Ligurians preserved under all the masters Of
Italy their reputation for heroism and public
spirit. Genoa was one of the last of the italian
republics to succumb, and in the person Of An
drew Doria. the greatest admiral of the 10th CEN
fury, it made itself respected in the important
Wars Of Charles V and Francis the First. in which
the most brilliant talents of cabinet and field
were employed. That 1t gave to the world and
fame Christopher Columbus is, however, its best
title to prominence in history.

The testimony in the inquest over the re-
mains Of Mr.. J.T. Freeman, the young English
man who fell into the pool of boiling water at
the west front of the new power house Of the

indicates that death eusued from that cause.

ence to public safety displayed in the matter

The cholera has reached Gravesend. England

A CURIOUS STRANGER.

1t may not be generally known
that there is live alligator measur-
ing about five feet in pond in the
St. Louis College grounds. 1t was
brought here from New Orleans by
some of the Brothers of the insttu-
tion several years ago when but
baby, and has survived and attained
its present size. The reptile is kept
in pond of fresh water and fed with
raw meat, although sometimes three
months will elapse without its eating
anything. Al night it seeks seclu-
sion in the water, allowing only its
two nostrils to appear above the sur
face. Many have visited the College
grounds to see this stranger to Ha-
waii and wonder to Hawaiians.
Brother George of the College has
two thoroughbred fan-tailed pigeons,
daisies.

Mr.. j. p. Blaze, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that state during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
ReOielO. Mr.. Blaize had occasion to
drive several miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that
he was unable to get warm, and in
side of an hour after his return he
was threatened with severe case of
pneumonia or lung fever. Mr.. Blaize
sent to the nearest drug store and
got bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number of large
doses. He says the effect was Won
derlul and that in a short time he
was breathing quite easily. He kept
on taking the medicine and the next
day was able TO come TO Des Moines.
Mr.. Blaize regards his cure as simply
wonderful. Fifty cent bottles for
sale by all dealers. Benson, Smith

Then he started round the southern
