HORSES IN SPECTACLEs.-Horses, ii

The Opiiciaa, which has made special
Investigations INTO the subject, gives the
case ola short-sighted horsewhose owner
ordered for him pair of spectaclcs.
They were made TO t;lsten firmly into
the head-stall, so that they could not be
shaken out of place. At first the ami
NAL appeared startled by this addition
to his harness. hut he soon got used TO
his glasses and liked them so much that
when he was turned ont to pasture he
felt uneasy and uncomfortable without
his goggles, and one Sunday hung
around the barn and whinpied so plant
lively that the owner put the head-stall
and goggles on him, and the horse was
so glad that lie rubbed the mans
shoulder with his nose as the only
method Of returning thanks. Dogs who
suffer from short-sightedncss have also
been provided with spectac!es, aud
have been able thereby to recognize
their canine acquaintance much far

To the Editor 0fhe Alexandria Gazette
Be kind enough TO publish the fol-
lowing: Some time ago. if remember
right, the City Council authorized the
superintendent OF police to have set
back all fences that extended beyond
the building line, and ! AN informed
that he only enforced the law in the
3rd ward; at any rate, know ne failed
to carry it out in the 18th ward. Look
at the north side OF Franklin street,
west of Columbus: some of the fences
are at least II or Is feet in the street.
Now this is damaging the property on
that street, and places the city in po-
sition TO be sued for allowing it. Yet,
what can we expect of those who have
TO interest at stake in this neighbor-
hood. They turn their attention to the
unimproved property in the northwest,
whilst our streets are allowed to re-
main in quagmirc condition and to be
the depository of all kinds of filth and
rubbish. In fact, we are compelled to
suffer the ''slings and arrows OF out
raeeous fortune" that the moving class
heap upon US, Notwithstanding we are
tax payers and law abiding citizens.
We are entitled to recognition and de
mand it, and in the name of human
tv and common decency will, as q last
effort. beseech the committee on streets
Ito render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars" Respectfully,

men as well as good democrats. 1t has
been my observation that the American
people prefer reform inside of the par

civil service reform that does not hide
behind any non-partisam clcak." Most
OF the democrats of the country were
sratified at Mr.. Harrison's election.

Mr.. JOHN WISE tells two tales about
the same thing. In one part of his late
speech in New y DIRK he said, "he was
influenced by the words of General Lee
to become member of the republican
party" In another part Of the same
speech he said 1.-The sectionalism of the
South drove him into the republican
party" In view Of the fact that Mr..
Wise said, long since General Lees
words were uttered, that southern re-
pubiicans were apostatcs for the pric"
of their apostacz.'', and as he never had
word TO say against southern section
alism until the democrats of the Rich
mond district nominated General John
ston, instead ofhimself, for Congress,
most people who know Mr. Wise think
it was the act Of the democrats referred
to. rather than either General Lees
words or southern sectionalism, that IN
duccd Mr.. Wise to turn his political

from an examination of the gov

MATTERS POLITICAL.

Everything is running so
smoothly under the Provisional
Government that there is little
which needs to be said. Those
nations are declared to be happiest
which have no history. Hawaii
is making history, but it is of a
very peaceful kind at present,
and bids fair to continue
so. The Government is busily
engaged in establishing the new
order upon regular and legal ba-
sis; their path is made surer by
the general feeling of sympathy
and the hearty cooperation of the
community.
1t is fortunate that the reins of
government have fallen into the
hands of men whose high char
acter and conservatism COM
mand the confidence as we'll as
the respect of all classes. The
course of the Government, while
marked by all the firmness and
clearness of intent which the situa-
ton requires, has been moderate
and conciliatory throughout. The
native Hawaiians are not insen-
sible to this, and they are learning
to feel that their interests are not
in the hands of persons who have
any desire to trample upon them,
or to do anything whatever
except to secure the best interest s
of all. The promotion of justice
should be the desire of all, and the
whole-souled, whole-hearted move.
ment which has swept the commu.
nifty aims at nothing, and will
bring about nothing, which does
not commend itself to the highest
reason, to the most enlightened
conception of justice.
The maintenance of martial law
occasions, of course, a certain de
gree of inconvenience. Good citi
zens will bear this with good
humor and patience, knowing thai
the system is necessity of the
situation that it makes for public
order and safety, and that it will
be abandoned just as soon as pos.
sible.

WE CAN MAKE ROOM FOR HER.

Under the above very significant
heading, the Boston Globe, in one
of its issues of last December,
writes as follows:
WE CAN MAKE ROOM FOR HER.
Ii the inhabitants of the Hawaiian
Islands really desire to Join hands with
our happy American freemen, there
ought to be no serious obstacle in the
way.
The absurd system of royalty which
has been set up at Honolulu may for a
time have impressed the simple natured
Kanaka as something really awe-inspir-
ing, but he has got over that feeling long
ago, and appears now to be as eager Tor a
change as most of the English speaking
merchants themselves. Only the
"court crowd" would object, and that
would cut ridiculously small figure in
opposition to the people.
"What should we do with Hawaii "
is an interesting question. The little
kingdom is not populous, yet it could
offer far stronger claims to statehood
honors than Nevada ever was able to
present. Even if this privilege were
denied her, she could readily be taken
into Uncle Sans household on the an
mex plan-perhaps as the Pacific dis
trict of the State of California.
Hawaii must do all the proposing"
however. Uncle Sam is not going about
seeking new acquisitions OF territory in
these cheerful days of peace, good will
and coming tariff reform.
