FEDERAL AID ASKED
A Revolution in Honolulu
0verthrows the Monarch
ial Government.

News has been received of a reyoiu-
ton in Honolulu which has overthrown
the government and the placing of
Hawaii under provisional rule.
The first intimation of the trouble
was on Jan. Is, when the queen tried to
induce the cabinet to sign a new con-
stituton that DISTINGUISHED all foreign
ers and put the whole government in
the hands of the native politicians. The
ministers renowned the bill and when
threatened by the queen fled for their
lives. but returned later and induced
the queen to postpone the coup.
The queen announced the failure of
her plans at a public meeting and an
orator demanded the lives Of the minis
tiers Eary in the evening the citizens
met and formed a committee on public
safety The next day there was q mass
meeting in he armory and in tho even
ing the United States steamer Boston
landed 500 men fully armed They
remained ashore all night
In the meantime the committee on
public safety, accompanied by the gov
eminent about to be formed, went to
the government building and pro
claimed freedom from monarchial rule
aud the establishment of provisional
government until terms of union with
the United States have been negotiated
and agreed upon. The queen at first
refused TO consider the proclamation
but later retired to her country resi-
dence and surrendered her troops and
government to tho foreigners Al
powers except England recognize the
provisional government. The fact that
United States troops were landed may
lead 10 serious complications with Grear
Britain.

The election of Congressman Mitchell
to the Senate makes a special Congress
sional election necessary in his Mil
waukee district. Somers, who IS now
mayor of the city. is the probable can
didate. If he receives the nomination,
some one must be elected to the mayor
atty, and so it goes. no pays the ex-
penses2
WISCONSIN sberiffs will petition the
present legislature to pass an amend
ment making them eligible to office for
two or more terms in succession We
can see no special objection to this
amendment and it might be much the
better plan for the counties OF the state,
in the end 10 have such law We
never could see why sherifs in this
state should be an exception to the
office holding rule. Other states make
no distinction between sherifs and
other offices in this respect. We have
doubts about any such change being
made right away however. We do not
think the people want it so.

THE election of Congressman Mitchell
to the United States Senate does not
seem to have pleased the people of the
state generally. The western sections
are especially put out. Gen. Bragg has
been a democrat of the democrats all
his life, and bis reputation for bravery
and honesty are such as to bring to him
the good will and friendship of those
who know him everywhere, irrespective
of party. It seemed most fitting that
his party services should be rewarded
by election to one of the highest and
most honorable offices in the power of
any party to give. The combination
however was too strong and Bragg's
ability and services are apparently I'm
recognized by his party leaders in the
state. This can not fail to grieye him

campaign, that should his party succeed
in the state his highest ambition should
be gratitied. 1t is very probable now
that an appointment as minister or con-
sui to somewhere will be sought for the
General at MIR. Cleveland hands. SEN
ator Villas kept his hand out of the SEN
atorial night until there seemed to be no
chance for his old friend and partner
Knight, but when the time came that
something decided had to be done he
did not hesitate to bear down Oh Knight
and his followers and order their inhu-
ence to be thrown to Hon. John
Mitchell and the state of Milwaukee.
Senator Villas political foresight may
tell him that four years from now it will
be useless for him to aspire to the sen
ate again, and for this reason he is not
particular as TO how he helps thwart
the will OF the people.

HOW TO BE Useful.

Usefulness is the result of character, and
therefore character ought to have our earli-
est care. Not what we can do for others,
but rather what We are in ourselves, de-
mands our first attention, for to do good to
others we must first be good ourselves. Use
fulness is to character what fragrance Is to
the flower. But the gardener does not make
the fragrance his first or greatest aim. Nay,
rather bis grand design Is to produce per.
feet flower, for he knows that II he succeed
In that the fragrance vii! come Of itself. In
the same way the Christians first concern
should be with his own character. His
prime ambition ought to be, where be Is to
keep Christ's word and TO confess His name; !;
and when he has succeeded In that the door
to leg mate and lasting usefulness will open
to hini Of itself, or rather Christ will open it
for him and no man will he able to shut it.
Hence cannot but regard it as unfortu-
nate and indeed unnatural, when young con-
verts, who have only just found their way
to Christ are encouraged forthwith to begin
to labor among others. They may be lnstru-
mental in doing something, but in that way
they will never attain to anything like the
highest usefulness. Their first duty IS In the
sphere IN which Christ found them, to keep
His word and to confess His name. Their
first care ought to be for the manifestation
of the Christian character in the lowiy ana
limited place to which they originally oe-
longed, and through their faithfulness IN
that the lord will open up for them door
to something higher. To be holy Is our
primary duty, ami through that we pass to
usefuness.-[Dr. Taylor.

STRENGTH IN FAITH.

The strong men of earth are not the
doubters or the disbelievers. Men who are
forever telling what they do not believe are
of no more account than men who are for
ever telling what they do not possess. Who
cares what a man does not believe? The
question is, what does he believe? What has
he that is Of any value? What he has not Is
of no use to any one. Men who do great
works believe something. The inventors,
the discoyerers, the men who cross oceans,
explore lands, solve problems, and discover
great principles, are men who can see what
other people never have have seen; they can
see that which is invisible. They can see
building before q stone is laid or, tiin-
her hewn. They can see complete ma
chine before a single part OF it has been
formed. Men who see the Invisible, VINO
discern the signs of the times, who observe
the hand of God in nature. who see the
working of his providence where others see
only blind chance, are charged with eterEa!
power and I'll ed with thoughts Of God ana
passing through this world they I'll its soli-
tary places with songs and cause its deserts
to rejoice and blossom like the rose. Have
faith in GOD. without faith It Is impossi-
Bile to please him." but If we have faith ike

Tile Eayes Swallow.

The cliff swallow, or esves swallow is
irregularly distributed over the Uaited
States, breeding abundantly in many To-
calities where suitable nesting sites are
found, and being rare in other districts.
They ay over upland meadows AMI pas
tu,es, often skimming along the su,face
of the ground to catch the numerous
leaf-hoppers and other insects that are
there. A single specimen that was
shot by Professor King while the bird
was skimming over wheat field con.
tanned twelve leaf-hoppers, seven two
winged flies Gncluding one large cras>,-
hy), six small beetles and two medium
sized ichneumon flies. This bird has
been reported to catch numbers CT
small grasshoppers; aad six specimens
taken in Nebraska after Western locusts
had begun to fly had eaten 229 of these
these iusects-an average of thirty
eight to each bird. Five specimens
studied by Professor Forbes had eaten
ants, wasps, inchneumon flies, ground
beetles, fungus beetles, curculios, leaf
beetles, two.winged flies and certain
bugs. The benefits derived from this
bird appear to be much greater than any
injury it may do in eating predaceous
or parasitic insects.-New York Voice.
