quarantine and health authorities. There
is therefore no reason why the people of
this country should be disturbed by fear
of the cholera, but they should take such
precautions as would tend TO prevent its
spread if it should get into the country.

The fight in which members of the
House of Commons engaged Thursday
night ought to excite no surprise The

Thursday nights fight began so sud

evidently anxious for it. The energy and

to high pitch of excitement, and that

an impression upon their opponents with

1t is reported that Mr.. Gladstone
watched the melee with an expression of
sorrow, indignation and establishment
that will never be erased from the mem
ory of those who witnessed it. The scene
was enough to call very unusual ex-
preston to the face of the grand old
man" 1t is not often that such
doings are witnessed in a diqnifed,
deliberative body of representatives
of a nation. They are sometimes
seen at political meetings during heated
campaigns. Once in while the mem
bers of our House of Representatives get
very much excited and threaten to have
a free fight, but they are brought to order
before they begin to spoil each others

inclined to comment severely upon the lack

It appears that the opponents of Haw-
allan annexation are not over particular
as to the means they employ to work up
public opinion favorable to their side of
the question. This is illustrated in two
dispatches on the same subject from san
Francisco, one to the New York Herald
and the other to the New York Tribune
As Claus Spreckcls was leaving Honolulu
several days ago so say both dispatches.
he was presented with a handsome gold
headed cane by a number Of his friends

Herald correspondent says; The fact
that United States Minister Blount al
lowed hls name TO follow that of the
queen on the inscription which refers to
d, the Annexation Club as a murder society
is taken as proof positive that he IS
strongly in favor of the queen" The

u. Blount, which stands for the Amer
lean minister This is not the first time
Mr.. Blomt has shown his sympathy with
the royalistS, but he has never before
manifested it so openly" The name of
the American minister, it will be borne
in mind, is James II. Blount not "R. J.
| Blount' or -. Blount" And, it may be
remarked. Mr.. James H. Blount is not in
the habit Of masquerading under false or
/ abbreviated initials. Ii he had been a
party to any SUCH testimonial to Mr.
/ Spreckels his name would have been
properly recorded. 1t may be doubted
that the name of any Mr.. Blouut appears
on Mr.. Spreckels' stick, but if any such
name is there it is safe to assume that it
belongs to some other Mr.. Blount than
the American minister.

that has appeared for some months was
dated from Taunton, Mass, two DAYS
ago. 1t was to the effect that Lizzie Bor-
den had confessed the butchery of her IA
ther and stepmother and had surrendered
TO the sheriff 1t transpired that Miss
Borden had only gone to Taunton on bust
ness. The fresh correspondent who sent
out the story was probably unaware that
even a confession could not again place
Lizzie Borden's life in jeopardy
