ONE prolific cause of disaster to
ocean vessels is likely to be obyiated
before long. That is, the difficulty
that mariners experience in seeing or
distinguishing coast lights on stormy
or foggy nights. Many wrecks on
the Long Island and New Jersey
shores have resulted from this cause.
But electric science is bring relief.

THE latest terror of society is the
peripatetic hypnotizer, who, accord
ing to the European newspapers,
seems 10 be creating widespread con-
Sternatipn in England and on the
Continent In London recently
victim OF hypnotiSm applied TO po-
lice magistrate for summons against
man whom he charged with having
caused him TO reveal his confidential
family affairs at public house bar.
OF course, his application was re-
fused, since it is obvious that neither
theft, fraud, imposition, libel nor as
sault could be accepted as the proper
designation OF such an incident. On
the Continent the danger appears to
be OF still more serious nature. A
man with fascinating eyes is reported
as haunting the Partisan omnibuSeS
and whenever he feaSts his eyes on Il
good-looking young woman she i'm
mediately falls asleep So numerous
are the charges OF this character
against him that the police are now
straining every nerve to capture him.
But it is difficult to say what can be
done with him when he is secured.
He can scarcely be guillotined, and
to place such an offender in conhne-
ment would only he to invite him to
try his powers on his jailers. He
might even succeed in sending to
sleep the Judge and the jury before
whom he was brought for trial. If
there is really anything in this new
form of the Evil Eye, it may become
source of moral danger and crime,
and the law of all civilized countries
will have to be amended in such a
manner as to grapple with it. In
the meantime 1t may serve as fer
tile held for authors Of comic operas
and screaming farces.

IT is curious thing that two re-
publics - France and the United
States-should be the only really
warm friends that Russia, the des-
potism, can count The friendship
of France and Russia is a plant of
hasty growth, and springs from the
soil of politics, but the recent ovation
to the Russian fleet shows that both
sides are sincerely in love. As for
the United States, the obligation
dates back to the civil war, when a
Russian squadron, opportunely dis
patched to our shores, in all prob
ability saved the Union by its mere
presence it did not fire a gun;
did not even make warlike dem
onstration. The people of this coun-
try have never forgotten the good
offices of the Bear, and certain fond
ness for the land Of the Car has Ec-
come traditional. If the Russians
shall he able to inspire the French
with a like lasting regard they will
have two powerful friends. The
great republics, both flying the red,
white and blue, are allies not to be
despised either in peace or in war,
and as in both cases the friendship is
of the people rather than Of cabinet
ministers there will be no fear Of
broken treaties or periured alliances.

THE suggestion in contemporary
that men should be employed as
chambermaidS and cooks in place Of
women has the merit Of novelty, but
is open to some serious objections. 1t
is quite probable that a large proper
tion of "the hundreds Of thousands Of
deft, neat-handed young men now
out of employment" would have no
objection to housework, especially il
the houses were sufficiently attract
i've, but we fear that the results
might not in all cases be satisfactory
to employers. John Smith might be
handy at making up bed, but where
would he be when the mistress Of the
mansion called for some mysterious
article Of feminine wearing apparel
of which John Smith had perhaps
never heard? He might WELD the
broom with energy but what about
welding the baby?

"MY DEAR SIR--I have received

Chicago at the ensuing election, ne

Figuring the coal at $3.50 per ton,
and oil worth 2Ic per gallon of seven
pounds, the actual cost OF the raw
materials contained in 1000 feet Of
gas is about s cents. Now, ON the
principle that it takes the entire
value Of one steer to pack another
steer (Which it does not), then in any
well-regulated gas works, constructed
and operated on correct and scen.
tihc principles, gas should not cost in
the holder more than double the
cost Of the raw materials contained
in it, or, say, l6 cents per | 900 feet,
Allowing 25 per cent. additional as
the cost of sending it from the holder
to the consumer (Which on large
delivery is an extremely liberal esti-
mate), then gas at the burner should
not cost the properly operated gas
company more than 20c per 1000
feet. Add 100 per cent. for profit,
and it figures up 40c per 900 cubic
feet. At this price for 20-candle-pOwer
gas the city could pass an ordinance
prohibiting the use of coal for
fuel, compelling all the coal used to
light and heat the city to go to the
gas works for conversion into gaseous
/ fuel Really, the sending of coal to
every twenty-five foot lot for fuel Is
just about equivalent TO sending corn
on the cob or wheat in the sheaf, or
live stock on foot, to every house
hold, thus compelling every house
holder to grind their grain between
stones and run a private slaughter
house to furnish necessary food.
The substitution of gaseous for
solid fuel is only question Of the
scientific conversion OF crude mate
rlals into gas The private consumer
OF crude coal realizes about l5 per
cent Of Its heating qualities. A gas
company should realize about 90 per
cent at least, and thus have an adj
vantage Of 70 per cent.
IL has been the puzzle Of more than
a century TO apply the great discovery
made by Henry Cayendish in 1880
1883 namely that water was com
posed of oxygen aud hydrogen 70 the

stupefied and lethargic Democracy.
The convention should be called at
the earliest possible date, the best
speakers in the State, county and
city should take the stump, and by
argument and oratory awaken the
people to the important issue before
them. This THE EAGLE has every
reason to believe will be the course
that will be followed, and Chicago
from now on to the Christmas holi-

The Democratic voters OF Chicago
should remember that owing to the
most unscrupulous tactics the Re-
publican Executive and Campaign
Committees succeeded in having
over 10000 Democratic voters strick-
en- from the lists at the last registra-
tion. This was accomplished through
the suspect notice dodge. These
notices were spread broadcast
throughout the city, they were served
on persons who had been residents
and voters for years, and who, not
being used to such thing, simply
laughed at the thing and let it pass.
They were served on wealthy, well-tO-
do Democratic citizens who were too
fond of their ease to go down to the
place of revision after supper and
prove their right to citizenship The
Democratic Executive Committee
took every means to undo this work.
1t urged through the mails, by means
of hand dodgers, and even by house
toulouse canvass, that to neglect the
revision meant disfranchisement in
every case where a suspect notice
had been served, but to no avail.
Nothing in the shape of human ener-
gy or human organization could over
come such an absence of public spirit
and party fealty as this

this momentous issue, we are quite
ready to put that question to a test.

arity of measure which, as that paper

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-08-30
THE WHY AND WHEREFORE

1t is quite true that Royalists who
hold office are able to get friends of
theirs, in the Annexation party, to ask
the Government to have them retained.
Your careful merchant with a good
Royalist customer is quite willing to
do trinlng favor of that sort. 1t costs
him nothing, and refusal might affect
his trade. The same is true of the
loyal patient of Royalist doctor, the
client of Royalist attorney, the
banker who has Royalist names on his
"paper," the fellow stoCkhOlder of a
Royalist in a sugar company, the oath
bound friend of some Royalist member
of lodge. All these people find it to
their interest to ask the Government to
maintain the status quo in spite of its
being a part-and an offensive part at
that-of the status quo ante.
TO heed counsel Of this kind and
neglect the wishes of the great Annex
alton party, the members of which
have no Royalist axes to grind, is to
commit an error in politics that cannot
but have unfortunate results.
Let the Annexation club speak on
this issue and mark out the difference
between a commercial private sentl
ment and a patriotic national opinion
