The New York Sun speaks glowingly
of the climate of the Hawaiian Islands S
likely 10 attract American visitors in search
of health, were there American freedom
firmly established under the stars and
stripes. Is it quite certain that there is
any need To 90 out of the United States
for climate suitable to any condition of
health or affliction? Southern States, like
Florida and Georgia, are mild enough IN
winter, and the Pacific Coast from MendO-
elmo southwark is almost ideal in climate
all the year round. Even the heavy rain
pumps of so-called winter mostly occur at
night, and cut comes the sun radiantly
during the day. When visitors come TO
the Mldwinter Fair in San Francisco they
will be amazed at the tlOurishing aspect of
vegetation, and what may be seen here
may be seen everywhere In California. An
DeXalion is doubtless good thing for
Hawaii as well as the United States, but
the main benefit Will not come to Eastern
visitors vino want 10 recuperate in the
tropics under the American flag,
That conyicts should go on strike is hap
PLY not a common occurrence. A revolt
of this peculiar kind has taken place in
Tennessee, at the Lone Rock mines, and
dreadful things were threatened unless
better ratioDs were supplied. The blow
ing up of the mine and the escape of the
prisoners were among the events dreaded.
Want Of food, however, has induced the
desperate men TO surrender and peace has
been restored. Possibly the grievances
are genuine. Even convicts are entitled 10
fair consideration IN the matter OF diet,
though they cannot expect seven courses
at dinner and two or three wines.
Justin Mccarthy, the leader of the Irish
NJ it,
people in the United States for funds to
carry on the campaign for home rule and
against the insulting action of the House
of Lords. His manifesto is clearly and
temporarily worded. There can be no
doubt that success in the home-rule 10 owe
ment is inevitable. but the work has yet 10
be done, and ii must be pushed with energy
until the day of triumph. The Lords have
aroused England by their conduct to such
a bitter degree that they will hardly
emerge from it without setting on foot an
agitation for the abolition of the second
cham Der.
The movement in New York to abolish
the free lunch in saloons is made at an in
opportune time for the habitues who de-
pend upon these privileges for consider
able part of their food. But the money
which goes in drink would provide good
DrOmiscuous way, and the saloon-keeper is
well aware that his potables are assisted
in consumption by main tanning a small
restaurant. The free lunch is peculiarly
strong feature OF the San Francisco bars
and wide is the difference between that of
the leading hotels and the resorts where
schooners foam for cents.
A pension lawyer in Pittsburg has got
himself into trouble by writing letters to
persons whose pensions have been can
celed and advising them to Stay President
Cleveland. Hoke Smith and few others
who are assumed to be responsible for
stopping supplies. Ii is limited that he
may be arraigned for treason. 1t is far
more probable that he is moro eligible for
lunatic asylum than Jail. He is clearly
unit for the transaction Of business.
The North Carolina mansion estate of
George Vanderbilt has been increased by
purchase which is said to make him the
not own nearly so much as Miller & Lux
did on the Pacific Coast, and perhaps as
he firm still does, but they were in bust
ness. whereas Mr.. Vanderbilt only con-
suits his pleasure in acquiring a vast
domain. The precise amount of comfort
man extracts from a great territory over
which he could not drive or walk in a week
is not easily defined. He calls it his in
parchment, but it really is no more prop
erty possessed and utilized by him exclu-
sively that if 1t were stretch of sea. A
| time must come when the public will de-

| virtue of right of way through long usage.
