bhfEN ThOO6AND SALOONS.
 Another cause of the present condition of debauchery is that the good are di- vided and the bad are united in the city. There Is power of cohesion in the forces of evil In our civic life that has never been attained by the forces of good. The saloon men stand together. The gam blars are fraternity. The brothels make common cause. And the hosts of the saloon, the gambling hell and the brothel form triumvirate ever ready to do battle in common. They present ssrried host in every contest. We have TOGO saloons in this city, every one of which employs no less than three men. This makes direct voting constituency of no less than 21 900 voters. There are 10000 gamblers In the city. This makes about 80, ,000, the saloon controlling, each of them, more than three men, either di- rsctly or indirectly, at the lowest calcu-

they had been so many Chinamen under the ban of instant deportation. On the other hand, the bosses had merely to de- note their wish by wink, and in the twinkling of an eye their will was done. There was no trouble, no delay, no fal- tering, about the work. The legislative machine was perfect In all it's parts and operated with the regularity of an auto matic clock. Poor, impotent Emperor William had to dissolve the reichstag because it refused to appropriate the amount required for the army. Our rul- CTS, however, are more successful. Billy of Buffalo and Richard I of New York have merely to raise the finger of com mand and the peoples legislature will obsequiously bow down and obey"
 Referring to the problem of quaran- tine, he continues: "Has the legislature advice of the Academy of Medicine, the Chamber of Commerce and other repre- sentative bodies of public spirited citi- zens and the press to provide for com petent board of sanitary engineers and place the matter in their charge? No. It passed bill authorizing certain city official of inferior mental equipment to confscate land in the Croton watershed. There is no telling what the entire cost will be. Five hundred thousand dollars is to be spent yearly without providing any essential protection. The simple truth is that this most serious matter was util ized to excuse gigantic job. Thus the safety of millions of people was sacri- feed to satisfy the greed of 8 few hungry political pirates"

 Referring directly to Mir. Croker, he further says: Together with Ed Mur- phy and Billy Sheehan he runs the state as commercial exchange, dealing in local and general franchises. diverse

was tall, thin man, precisely like Scan nell in appearance, and was disguised in a wig and slouch hat. As Donohue and his friends approached the man he drew 8 revolver and fired. The bullet struck Donohue in the body, passing through a rib and lodging in the back without do- ing him any serious injury.
 "John Scannell disappeared the same night, and nothing was seen of him for nearly year. About two years later Scannen met Tom Donohue in pool room in the basement at the northwest corner of Twenty eighth street and Broadway and killed him by firing five bullets into him. At the first shot Don ohue fell to the ground, but Scannell fired the remaining four shots from his pistol into the prostrate mans body. Donohue died instantly. Scanne1 was arrested and tried about two years after ward. He was acquitted of the murder on the ground of emotional insanity and sent to the lunatic asylum, from which he was discharged at the end of five or six months. Scannell has been very prosperous gambler, being partner of John Daly, and is reputed to have accu- mulated @ fortune. He was candidate for the office of fire commissioner, the basis of his candidacy being, according to current gossip, the fact that he had raised $50,0 among the gamblers for Grants campaign. Scannell's personal contribution to the campaign fund was check for 5000.
 "His prominence in Tammany Hall politics is due to the friendship of Dick Croker and Ed Stokes, which he secured under peculiar circumstances. The three men were all confined in the Tombs at the same time-1874-each awaiting trial for murder. Croker was innocent of the crime imputed to him, but Scannell and Stokes were both guilty. The last named was the slayer of Jim Fisk and was at one time under

Ii is hard to see just what right
President Cleveland had to inquire
into the standing of the HawaiangOv-
eminent as to how it was constituted,
ETC., as it was a government duly
recognized by the authorities of the
United States when Mr.. Cleveland as
sumed the duties of his office. 1t
would be just as appropriate for him
to appoint special commissioner to
inquire into the status Of the govern
ment of Brazil, France or any other
nation on earth and attempt to over
turn the same because it did not suit
him. 1t was duly accredited gov
ernment at Washington, and for him
to treat it otherwise was an outrage
and an insult, and would have been
resented as such by any country pow
erful enough to do so. Instituted
towards weakling like Hawaii it is
simply pure case of bulldozlng and
will be regarded as such by the. people
of this country generally. The ad-
ministration will doubtless find that
the work of restoring to power a rot
ten and corrupt monarchy will not
prove to be much of feather in its
cap.

RELIGIOUS READING.
BE STILL

It is often easier to do than to suffer the
will of God. There is a pleasureable excite
ment in the employment Of ones active pow
ers in the service Of Christ, 4 satisfaction in
the consciousness of doing good. A little
grace, with favoring providence. may make
q Christian hero; while aboundlng grace
alone will suffice to make Christian martyr.
Be still when prosecuted and slandered.-
If unjustly accused, you may regard every
epithet of abuse as a badge of discipleship.
Your divine Master and His apostles and wit
nesses were marked in the same way. Then,
too, every lie has the seeds Of death within
it. Let alone, il will die OF itself. Opposition
may look very formidable; it may seem as
'though the mountains were carried into the
midst of the sea the waters thereof roar. and
be troubled the mountains shake with the
swelling thereof" but the voice of wisdom
cries, "Be still and know that am God"
Be still when Ihwarted in your plans and
disappointed in your hopes.-You are not re-.
sponsible for results. If you have sought
trust worthy ends by lawful means, and have
done your utmost to attain them, the issue IS
of divine ordering, and should be no more
the subject of murmuring or repining than
the changes of the seasons or the rolling OF
the spheres. The purpose Of God in your loss
or disappointment may not be obvious: You
may have to content yourself with the
thought. !These are but parts Of his ways. y
But the fact that they are his ways must
hush the soul in quietude under the most
irving and mysterious crosses of life. Faith
will take up Cowpers song:
"Behind frowning providence
He hides u smiling face"
Be still under sore afflictions.-They are
all deserved. They are all ordered of God:
They are embraced among the 'all things
thatshall work together for good to them
who love God. Murmuring does not lesson,
but rather increases the burden Of griefs.
Submitted to-acquiesced in-sanctilied-
every sorrow may distill new joys; every
affliction may work out "a far more exceed
ing and eternal weight Of glory" Many q
saint has never experienced the infinite pre-
ciousncss of the gospel, until the rod of God
is upon. him. 1t is when in the vale, with
eyes upifted and mouth closed-"1 was
numb' -thut the stars OF promise glisten on
the spiritual vision, and the sun of righteous
ness darts his rays of comfort and holy JOY
on the stricken soul.-Heber.

Any single one of the mussels would
make a fair meal by itself. The BIZ
valves ranged in size from five to eight
inches in length, were from an incn
and half to two and a half inches
wide, and from an inch to two inches
in thickness. They are monster mus
sells. The meat is not as coarse as
would naturally be expected and the
mussel flavor is all there.
These bivalves grow on the rocks all
along the coast. At Mendocino City,
where the specimens drawn in the cut
we're taken at low tide, the mussels
grow very fast. They are dislodged
from their holdings on the rocks by
means of sharp spade. Coasting
steamers ut outside ports lie within a
few yards of high rocks and bluffs off
Mendoc1no, and it is favorite pas
time of the crew to launch boat and
secure mess of mussels. San Fran
