TOO KITTY.

Again the Register, which lies awake nights (and sometimes lies awake dsys) tc conccct schemes to help the Republicans, comes to the support of Theron A. Todd's wonderful gritty" ''sandy" and "red, hot" campaign for the nomination for Town Agent. It asserts that MT. Todd can't be "csjoled." It gays that he is liable to ge: Ca bit indignant" that he will go into tke convention if he has but one delegate; that he is "red hot for the nomination, ' etc , etc.
 This is very impressive statement of what doubtless seems to the Register a very impressive situation, but If 1t means anything 1t means that Mir. Todd wants the nomination 30 badly that he is going to have it even if he has to get 1t by "force and arms," and that he is going to make the Republicans understand that they must give him what he wants when he wants 1t. If this is MT. Todd's attitude 1t Is very foolish and mistaken one, and he Is just the man the Republicans should not nominate. If his "grit" and ''ssud" and "red- -hotness" and indignation" lead him into the idea that he can boss the party he is entirely too gritty" too "sandy" and too fred hot"

the word "aliens" in the statement pre- pared by Secretary Gresham, saying 1t is most offensive In the sense in which it is used. "The people whom Secretary Gresham calls aliens, he says, "psys nine tenths of the taxes, own hve-sixths ot the property, and have voted upon .Se consti- tuition of King Kslaksus for thslast six years, and they are infinitely more inter estsd in the government of the islands than the Kanakss, the natives, can possi- ply be-"
 It will be seen that there are serious dis crepancies between the "faots" in the re- port of Secretary Gresham and the "facts" as stated by Secretary Foster and others. But even If United States officials did go out of their way in sympathy with people trying to rid themselves of dstested and detestabls monarchy, the general opinion in this country will be that the United States should not go out of its way to re- store that monarchy.

Hawaii,s Tame Volcano.

lSereno E. Bishop in the lBdependentt A fsvorite resort is the w,lI-sppointed Volcano house at Kilaues, four thousand feet above the sen, on a broad, level | upland. Immediately bslow the hotel lies Pele's terrific domain of fire, 8 black desert of glistening lava surrounding 8 boiling fre-lske of ten acres. The sur rounding country is chsrmingiy wooded. Access to this locality Las been lsborious. A macadamizsd road of the best quality Is now nearly completed from the seaport of Hilo, thiriy-one miles to tke volcano, which will make & delightful drive of five hours up and three back through ex- quisite tropical forests. This road has opened up the center of hitherto inso- oessible tract of superb coffee lands one hundred thousand acres in extent, which are being taken up faster than surveyors can cut their way to them. The region Is cool, moist and free from misEms, we'll fit ted fer white settlers. Htlo itself Is gem of beauty; 1t will soon have opened up in several directions the finest back | country of any part of the group.
 The volcano itself is in prime order for tourist inspection. The red crust of the
 
 of bright fire creeping across its breadth. Here and there in the center, or around the rim, fountains of the massive white metal leap up and fall back with heavy crash, or play aflnat with surgiug crests of dazzling fire. Now and then a great power wells up from below, and ths whole lake becomes a white. molten and surgtng surface, and pours flooding sheet of fire over some part of the black floor around 1t, driving away in haste any visi- tors who have gone into the pit to fish up melted lava with their sticks. Two weeks SEQ the lava flood msds a huge rush snd carried away all the parspst walls which 1t had built up, and filled the whole bot tom of Halemaumsu pit with 6 surgIng lake one hundred acres in breadth The level of the lava Is working well up to- ward the top of the pit, aud must within | few months overflow upon the main floor of Kilsues, as is its habit.
 At present a comfortable horse trail tra- | verses the two miles of this glossy but hummocky lava leading to the hre-pit | where you sit by night and dazzle your | eyes with the bright and terrible fountains below. When the pit overfows the trail may be any day obri,srated But a new one can be msde.

When We have annexed the United ststes, and hitched you safely to us with an ocssu cable, we | shall expect Yosemite, YellowHtone and Alaska tourists to slip over and inspect our | grand fire fountains.

THE FLY,s STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

 Battle Terrible 10 Look al.

Battle Terrible 10 Look al.
 From St. Louis Exchange
 Judged without reference to size, no struggle in the world equals in desperate esrnestness that of fly to escape from a sheet of sticky paper. When he first lights be usually tries to get away by the use of the wings alone, and sets up furious buzzIDg. This generally fails of its ob- ject, and he settles down seriously to bus iness. When two or three legs are entan- gled he begins one at time to tear them loose by using the disengaged feet. He generally accomplishes his purpoee with reference to the legs he first attacks, but in doing so entsDgles others, as he Is obliged to push down as hard ss he pulls up.
 After every severe pull at his entaneled legs he tries his wings again, and keeps up the struggle until by accident he falls on his side and his wings become glued to the paper. Even then he does not de- | spair. In fact, he never does, for az lonc as there Is life he seems to think there il hope, and keeps up the tussle ss long al he can move leg. And he lives a Iouc time. Flies have been known to liy, glued to sheet of fy-paper for foul days and nights. The struggle for life however, If the sizs of the creature b. overlooked, is something awful in its des psration- Viewed through a hJgh-pows microscope, it is thing never to be fer gotten.
