BLOUNTS DIPLOMACY.

Il is known that President Dols of the
Provisional Government of the Hawaiian
Islands cited Charles Nordhoff, corre-
spondent of The New York Herald. before
the Executive Council to answer to n
charge of having caused the publication Of
false. malicious, defamatory, libelous
and seditious language" The citation did
not assume that Nordhoff was guilty but
recited the charge and summoned Nord-
hoff 10 answer the complaint. There was
nothing in the proceedings as related to
indicate that Nordhoff would be treated
unfairly. but the correspondent thought il;
safer to appeal to the American Minister
than to answer the complaint. From Mr.
Nordhoff's own account as subsequently
printed in the Herald we take the follow
ing:
He (BounD said that l was an American
citizen, writing for an American paper, and
could not and should not be questioned aud
threatened by any one here for what | had
written. He ordered me. therefore. not 20 obey
the summons or even 10 see or write to the
Attorney y-Gpneral, and this morning drove un
to ask me to come TO the legation and temain
there until all danger Of an attempt 10 interfere
with me by arrest was past / did this of
course, aud returned 10 my cottage, with The
Minister'S PERMISSION, at halfpast two this
afternoon.
The public would perhaps like to know
if the HerGlFS cores Spondent is above The
law the world over or only in Honolulu.
He was charged with libel, but the Ameri-
can Minister presumed to say that he
should not be tried. On what ground was
this correspondent exempted from the
penalties for causing the publication of
libelous matter? Possibly if the Herald
should attempt to enforce its idea of inter
national law in some of the capitals of
Europe. that journal might be taught a
much- needed lesson

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY RAILROAD.

Our Los Angeles contemporaries assume
that the trade of the San joaquin Valley
will be divided between San Francisco and
Los Angeles. This assumption will prove
true only on condition that the North
American Navigation line is put on an en-
during basis. If the State should again
pass into the bands of the Transcontinen-
tai Railroad Association or into the hands
of any other railroad trust the interior will
be enabled to deal directly with Eastern
cities. The Los Angeles Express says that
Los Angeles has the same advantage of
ocean competiton that San Francisco has.
II it has, SO much the better. The two

cents have not taken the trouble to 60.
A somewhat erratic Chicago correspondent
of San Francisco paper impaired the in
formation the other day that Chicago had
contributed her millions for the glory of
the city. Money was not taken into con-
sideration. No one cared whether Or not
they got their money back so that the city
was g!orifed. While this is a somewhat t
different view from that generally taken
of the Chicago spirit it may be true. But
it seems odd that people who would do
so much for glory should not take more
than strangers interest in the outcome
of their effort.
The morning call., 1893-06-09

cities should then work together to pre-
serve ocean competition. Harbor improve
ments will come in short time If the peo-
pie of the south will keep the Southern
Pacific from holding possession of all the
water front OF the harbor that may finally
be selected for i'm provement. The Express
says that none of our Los Angeles harbors
can be correctly said to be under control of
any railroad 60 mpany."- We give the ET-
press the benefit of the statement. but
there is general impression that II Santa
Monica is selected for Improvement the
Southern Pacific Company will have a
pretty tight grasp on it. The fact that Los
Angeles has two transcOntinental RAILROADS
ooeS not cut any important ngure IN
the question unless il can be shown that
they will be competing roads. when the
Great Salt Lake Railroad was under con-
slderatiOn the utmost care was taken to
keep the stock from falling into the hands
OF men who would combine with the
Southern Pacific. There is but little ad-
vantage in two roads under practically the
same management unless there is more
work than one can do. Los Angeles is,
therefore, dependent upon the sea as
much as San Francisco. The Los Angeles
Herald very fairly outlines the situation
in the following:
The commercial lines are now pretty clearly
de1lned. Under present conditions San Fran
cisco can compete successfully IN Southern
California so far and no farther. Whether
her dominion exists as tar south as Fresno de-
pends entirely upon The contingency that she
can lay down goods cheaper there than Los
Angeles can. That point is now perhaps the
debatable liue. But there is no doubt what
ever thar this city controls he wholesale bust
ness in many if not all lines as far as Bakers
field.

THE TARIFF.
The Business Interests" to be Protected,
but the Farmers Must Shift
for Themselves,
TARBORO, N. @.

TARBORO, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR:-When the Republicans
had control of the government the
market price for wool was 20 cents per
pound. Not long since a farmer of this
county carried his years supply of
wool to market and was offered siGteen
cents per pound, which the farmer de-
clined, but afterwards sold it for 18
cents.
The first wool dealer said he could
not pay more than Is cents per pound
as the price OF wool had declined, in
expectation of the reduction of the
tariff.
We have been told that the tariff
will not be reduced so low as to inter
fere with the business interests" of
the country. Is it the purpose of the
administration to refrain from disturb
ing the business interests" so that the
rich manufacturers can unload all Of
their stock of goods at prices under the
present tariff law3
The poor, do~wntrodden, oppressed
farmer is forced to sell his wool at a
lower price than usual, yet when he
goes to buy a suit of clothes he is COM
PEELED to pay as high a price as ever.
How does the tariff affect a man who,
despite his industry and economy, is
unable to buy him a new suit of
clothes, after meeting his necessary
%expenses9 1 would like to hear Mr.. r.
B. Glenn, who talked so earnestly and
fervently about tGTl tGTN tGaW in the
campaign last fall, answer this ques-
ton.
There is no tariff on provisions, and
if a man continues to year his old
clothes, how is he burdened with the
tariff
There are people to day all over this
country who have not bought a new
supply of protected goods, yet they are
groaning beneath a great burden.
Why9 Simply because there is a
money famine. The currency has
been contracted from two billion dol
lars after the war to one billion two
hundred million dollars to-day, not
withstanding the fact that there has
been an increase of forty million in
our population.
Tariff reform will not bring any ma
terial relief. What we need is an ample
an6 adequate supply of money.

It's discovery just at this time Sher
man evidently thinks is premature, as
he is not ready to explode it in the face
of the present public sentiment. Aided
by Brice, Platt and the rest of the mil
lionaire and corporation Senators, he
tried to suppress any further investi
cation of these Federal decisions on the
plan of economy. To this false and
hypocritical plan Senator German
properly and pertinently replied by
saying ''that so far as limiting expen-
ditures is concerned, I only regret that
activity has not heretofore been dis
played" This debate in the Senate
will do good. 1t is not yet concluded,
and if anything further of Importance
is brought out in the debate, it should
be given to the people.
Here is the little joker" sandwiched
in the ''anti trust" bill of 1890, which,
on its face was called an act To pro.
tect trade and commerce against I'm,
lawful restraints and monopolies.
Every contract OF combination in the
form of trust or otherwise in restraint
of trade or commerce among the sew
eral or with foreign nations is hereby
declared to be illegal" and punishable
by fine and Imprisonment. Provision
was made for an injunction on behalf
of the United States. John Sherman
will bear close watching.

Poultry should have the greatest lib
erty that is possible to give them. The
farmer has plenty of room for such
liberty. He should have a good house
for this good source Of profit to him.
If one of our readers should not have a
farm for his poultry to run over, the
next best thing is to provide for their
natural wants. Give them as much
range as possible. Keep the run in a
dry condition. Do not permit the roof
of the house to leak. The house should
have in the south or east end (both if
practicable a window sufficient size to
admit sunlight, without which, although
fowls may be kept for a time in ap-
parent good health, they will in time
droop and stand around looking de-
jected, and their progeny will invariaby
be feeble and improbable. The best
floor for afow house is, beyond a doubt,
the bare ground, for here the fowls de-
light to scratch, and the droppings are
thus mixed with the earth and the
smell is prevented. 1t is indispensably
necessary that the fowl house should
be kept clean, and this is very easily
accomplished, by daily, with a hoe or
some other implement, scraping the
droppings from the board under the
perch, and sprinkle afterwards with
dry earth, and occasionally spade up
the floor, thus not only thoroughly
sweetening the atmosphere, but soft
ening the earth, that the fowls may
scratch and waLlow. By instinct all
birds are taught the use Of dust or
water bath for their well being. If
reasonable opportunity be given, do
nestle fowls battle themselves by wal
in dry earth, with which they
fill their plumage, and thus prevent
the ravages of vermin on the skin and
in their feathers, and as we sometimes
have our fowls in confinement, it is
necessary for US to provide some means
for them to dust themselves, and every
poultry house should contain a box
filed with dry earth for this purpose,
and placed, if possible, in a sunny spot
in the house. Dry earth is easily OBJ
tanned in the hot weather in the sum-
mer time, from off roads in the form of
road dust, and should, of course, be OBJ
tanned in dry weather; but if from in
ability or carelessness none has been
provided, a very good substitute may
be had in sifted coal ashes; to either
may be added a ~sprinkling of flour or
sulphur with beneficial effect, and this
bath should be renewed as often as it
becomes damp or foul. Chicago Voice.

FOWLS WITHIN ENCLOSURE.

Where fowls are to be kept within
an inclosure, it will be necessary to
construct an outside run, which NAV
be accomplished either by the use Of
pickets or tarred netting. As it is fire.
quently asked how large must this run
be, our answer would be, make it as
large as possible. AS ordinary range
not only adds to their probable health,
but saves both food and labor, as with
sufficient liberty they will, to a consid.
cradle extent, forage for themselves.
To those who cannot cammand large
space, we say poultry may be kept
within almost any limit, if this one i'm.
portant point is borne in mind and
properly attended to: that the smaller
the space devoted to them, the more
constant the attention necessary to the
cleanliness of their quarters. DR.. Car
lin says he has kept 20 fowls in good
health and condition with a run 10 feet
wide and "a feet long by spading the
ground inside once in six weeks, and
replacing six inches Of it with fresh
earth once in two years. Chicago
