STRICTLY NoN-PARTrsAN.
Minister Thurston's Manifesto to
Government Employees in 1887.

(From the HuWuiidn Gdsctte.)
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, I
Honolulu, August |, 1871
To The Employees Of the Department OF
the Interior:
Government Officers
have heretofore been allowed, and in
some instances required to take an
active part in electioneering and
partisan politics in this Kingdom.
One of the most important
changes effected by the new Con-
stitution, is that by which Govern
ment Officers are made Ineligible to
sit in the Legislature.
1t is the intention of the Head of
this Department and of the Adj
ministration to extend this principle
to its legitimate sequence, and re-
quire of all employees of the Gov
ernment that they abstain from ac-
tive participation III partisan poll
tics.
Your attention is directed to the
fact that public Officer is public
Servant, and that your duty is to
serve equally the whole public. Ac-
tive participation in an election cam
paign, and the advocacy of one party
or candidate against another, must
necessarily prevent that impartial
and unbiased discharge of the duties
of a Government Officer which the
public have right to expect. You
are therefore requested to abstain
from taking any active part in the
coming or any future elections. A
neglect to comply with the foregoing
will be considered good cause for re.
moval from office.
Your right as men to vote 70,
whom you choose is fully recognized
and your tenure of office will in nc
wise depend upon the vote which
you may cast.
Incompetency or neglect to pro
perly perform the duties of the of
fees which you severally hold, OF
changes which economy may neces
state, will alone be the basis O.
removal from office.
Competence and good character
should alone be considered in max
ing appointments to office and head
of bureaus are requested to ac
upon this principle in filling subor
dinate positions.
l ask the support of all officers o
this department in carrying into ef
feet the principles above set forth
in the firm belief that by so doins
the efficiency of the Civil Servic
will be increased and the publ
interests subscrved.
Yours faithfully,
LoRRIN A. TnuRsToN,
Minister OF the interior

Strong Argument for the Nicaragua
Canal.

The grain trade of the Pacific
Coast alone is nearly equal to the
whole of the cotton trade of the
country. Since 1869 the shipping
interests of the coast have been
doubled. The transportation ques-
tion of the Pacific Coast is one of
great difficulties. The cost of carry
ing wheat by rail from one side of
the Continent to the other and its
reshipment at an Atlantic port is
very burdensome. If it is shipped
around Cape Horn on sailing yes
sells, the underwriters insist that it
shall be bagged, aud the bagging
costs the wheat growers more than
S2,OO0,00O a year. The voyage from
San Francisco to Liverpool con-
sumes four or five months, cir
cumstance which makes the market
value of wheat when it shall arrive
at its destination problematical.
The only beneficiaries of this condi-
tion of business are the lucky specu-
lators, for cargo is often sold three
or four times before it reaches Liver
pool.
The construction of an inter,
oceanic canal would not only give tc
commerce a short and safer route
but it would give to the Eastern
ports an advantage over Liverpool
in the trade with our own Pacific
States which they do not now enjoy
BY reason of the confguration o
South America, the Cape Horn route
to New York is little more thar
100 miles shorter than the route tc
Liverpool. By an isthmian route
New York would be at least 2OOO mile.
nearer than Liverpool to San Fran
cisco. At the same time ships from
Liverpool would save about SO0(
miles by going through the canal
New York would be about 1000 mile!
nearer Hongkong by the isthmial
canal than by the Suez Canal, abou
5000 miles nearer than by the Cap'
Horn route, and 1000 nearer than b,
the Cape of Good Hope route. 4
similar saving would be made in tn,
route to Yokohama, and the Atlanti,
seaboard would be between 5000 ant
5000 miles nearer to Hawaii. Will,
New York would be brought abou
5000 miles nearer to San Francisco
by the canal, New Orleans woult
save more than 1000, and the bene
fit to the whole Gulf Coast would b.
enormous. The water route betwee,
all the seaports of the country-West
East and South-would be near
ly, in some instances quite, as shor
as the overland routes. The Nicara
qua route opposes fewer obstacles tt
an interoceanic canal than any othe
that has been surveyed. 1t is thu
least expensive, and the engineering
difficulties may be more easily over
come.-Harper'S Weekly.

HUMoRs OF THE QUESTION

OF course the humorists of the
United States daily press could not
keep their hands off such an inviting
new subject as the Hawaiian ques-
ton. We have published the best
humored ones that came to hand.
A little ditty bringing in one of our
Smiths appears to-day. The English
press is not SO universally devoid of
humor nor so stiff backed in its die
tion as some people imagine. A pc
culiarty of the English press is,
however, that its professedly hui
morous columns are often provoca-
tive of melancholy, while you must
look for genuine humor in the Sc
rious editorial columns. The Sussex
Daily News, published at Brighton,
has an article on the Hawaiian revo-
luton, which, after describing the
Queens effort to have her Minis
ters sign a new constitution, says:
But the Ministers declined to
sign the constitution, and although
the Queen was very angry, and a
native admirer demanded the blood
of the foreigners, in the twinkling
of an eye the morning costume and

a strong argument for the Mica
ragua Canal is copied elsewhere
from Harper's Weekly. The article
shows that the advantages of the
canal to the worlds commerce iii
general, and that of the United
States in particular, would be colos-
sal-indeed, beyond all present
computation. With the canal opened
Hawaii would be Gin it, for large
share of the benefits. A reduction
of 5000 or 5000 miles in the route
from Hawaii to the Atlantic sea
board of the United States must
greatly promote trade and tend to
cheaper the necessaries of life to
the people of these islands.

is an indication Of the direction
Of the wind in the plow trade.
The Hendry Breaker is in the
nine hole for big work, and for
ordinary plain every day plow-
ing, the Hendry Rice Plow has
no equal They have hoated
on the crest of a popular wave
since their introduction with no
danger of an under tow carry
ing them back.
On some plantations the
managers have a riding plow
in operation, but it is not all
land that is suitable for this
plow, it is good on level
stretches but not on uphill
and down-dale places. The
Gazelle three-wheeler is con-
sidered the best of these, best
because of its many good qua
llties and because we sell
them. The plow is hung from
and lifted by two cranks,
which move together, and to
both of which the beam is Sc
curely attached, one being in
front and the other at the rear
of the beam. The action of
the lifting lever is to squarely
raise or lower the entire plow
bottom. 1t does away with
that nicely of adjustment at
the clevis necessary on other
riding plows and SO makes the
Gazelle specially adapted to
inexperienced plowmen. This
construction allows the Gaze1le
to open a furrow either flat or
on an angle. AS the plow lifts
six inches from the ground ii
is high enough to clear all OBJ
structions when on the road
No exertion is necessary tc
start the plow; by merely
} loosening the lever and start
ing the team the p)ow will
.. enter the ground to any re
quired depth, when it may be
) locked in position by the
: lever.
In constructing this plow the
manufacturers spare no ex
r pense in the quality of the
; materials used, and for a riding
plow its makeup stamps it a.
r the best that ever came to the
: Islands. We have only a few
of them and offer them cheaG
because we wish to devote ou
plow space to the Hendr,

i, ments.

The saddest fact connected with in
tense political or religious excitement is
that it unbalances weak minds and
makes crazed murderers Of individuals
who would otherwise pass through life
merely as excitable and eccentric human
beings. The quarrel between Conkling
and Garfield developed Guiteau, the as
sassin of Garfield. The terrible strain of
the civil war brought into activity the
latent insanity in Wilkes Booth, and
he murdered President Lincoln. Of
the Same character is the attempt on the
life of Gladstone by the crank Townsend.
Bitter passions, engendered by the atti-
tude of the Ulster party in Ireland, threw
him off his balance. Doubtless:he be-
lieyed that he would be the savior Of his
country if he killed Gladstone, and thus
deprived the home rule cause of its lead
er. Persons who deliberately appeal to
passions and prejudices in times of in
tense feeling and do all in their power
to fan the flames of excitement take a
grave responsibility in their hands. All
the same, if Gladstone had been slain,
home rule would have received its most
powerful impetus to a successful con-
clusion. Always the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed of sure success for any
cause,

THE LICENSE QUESTION IN
BRIDGETON,

The Cumberland county Board of
Excise Commission met in Bridgeton
last week and heard a delegation of
Bridgeton business men, who protested
against the renewal or granting of any
liquor licenses for that city. The dele
CATION was composed of Thomas U.
Harris, b. f. Harding, c. w. Shoe
maker, j. l.. Rice, Il Third Ward COun-
Gilman; John IL. Theis, w. c. Lopez,
S. NJ. Ogden, William McAllister,
Frank Pennel, who gave reasons for
asking the Board not to license liquor
selling any longer in the city. Mr..
Shoemaker said that his firm paid out
over 5000, 600 a year in wages, and he
was but speaking the sentiments of his
employees in protesting against the
granting of licenses to sell liquor i'll
Bridgeton.
1t was stated that freight statistics
of the town showed that more than IA
hundred per cent. more of liquors was
brought into the town under a year Of
license than there was under u year of
no license.
The following applications, however,
were granted:
Bridgeton-David b. Crawford, Geo.
Kinkle, j. &. Kienzle, g. G. Cast and

licenses, and Maurice Lang, wholesale.

A SEVERE DROUGHT.

The loss 10 crops in South Jersey
caused by the long drought will amount
to thousands of dollars. Farmers in
Gloucester county are said to be among
the heaviest losers, and many acres of
young corn which three weeks ago
promised an excellent crop are now
burning up, and many OF the farmers
are cutting the corn down and feeding
it to cattle. Watermelon aud tomato
vines are also Suffering greatly. The
ground in many instances is baked as
hard as "a brick, and when the wind
blows the plants snap Off short at the
surface OF the ground. A prominent
Gloucester county farmer stated that
he had not experienced such dry wealth.
er for more than twenty years, and
that the late crops of white potatoes
would be very scant, as the vines have
nearly all been burnt by the heat or
else eaten by the black worms and no.
tato bugs. In Cumberland county the
drought is working great injury 20 the
crops, which are badly dried up. Pas
ture is entirely gone in most places, and
the corn crop is beyond salvation.

Corp Is Our National Flower.


We have not said it POLITICALLY, but we
have insisted over and again in honest,
matter of fact prose without any frills
that the American national flower should
be the splendid Indian corn plant in its
glorious young greenness just afterit has
blossomed into tassel. America gave it
to feed the world. 1t is our own original
plant, and it is the all round most useful
and profitable vegetable product on this
globe. How richly it can be made to
serve the purposes of art is exemplified
in some of the buildings of the Worlds
fair.
We are glad to see our opinion re-en-
forced POLITICALLY by the excellent judg-
ment of Miss Celia Thaxter in The New
England Magazine. "Maize For the Ma
TONS Emblem" is the name of the fine
ringing poem in which she sets forth the
claims of corn. Following are some Of
the stanZas:
Gods gift to the new worlds great need,
That helped to build the nations strength
Up through beginnings rude to lead
A higher race of men at length.
How straight and tall and stately stand
Its serried stalks upright and strongl
How nobly are its outlines planned!
What grace and charm to 1t belong!
What splendid curves in ~rustling leaves! =
What richness in its close set goldl
What largess in its clustered sheaves,
New every year, though ages old
America, from thy broad breast
1t sprang, beneficent and bright,
OF all thy gifts from heaven the best,
For the worlds succor and delight.
Then do 1t honor, give it praisel
A noble emblem should be ours
Upon thy fair shield set thy maize,
More glorious than a myriad flowers.
