South Carolina Enforcing Its Law

Olivia, a small sailboat A law was
passed by the South Carolina legislature
in 1850. prohibiting the catching and
handling of terrapin between April ! and
July 10, which is the laying season.
The law also prohibits the catching
and sale of terrapins under five
inches in length measured according TO
the bottom shell, at anytime of the year.
No steps were taken for the enforcement
Of the law until two years ago, when an
inspector was appointed and provided
with a sailbOat to cruise along the coast
during the prohibited period to see that
It's requirements We're observed.
The great demand for the terrapin,
which has been delicacy of renown Tor
years, threatens its determination South
Carolina also requires a license of S25
from each terrapin hunter MIR. Wag-
wood, who is an expert upon the subject
of the terrapin, estimates that there are
100000 female terrapin along the Carolina
coast, and that 100000 young terrapin
annually attain their growth on the
coasts. AS they bring Sl2 to SIS a dozen
in New York it will be seen that the ter
rapin is quite valuable product of the
Georgia and Carolina coasts.

NECKAR ISLAND.

No doubt the British Colonial
statesmen feel badly, because Ha-
wall emphasized her ownership CT
Neckar Island, by taking posses
sion of it, and they call that act an
unfair thing to do" If Great
Britain had taken it, Hawaii would,
probably, have said the same thing
while the British Government
would merely have patted the lit
tie Republic on the back and said,
"Next time, little sister, wake up
earlier" While our treaty obliga-
tons with the United States may
not permit US to release any OF our
soil to another nation, we are, prob
ably, free to permit the landing OF
the Canadian cable here, if it is de-
sired.
Under some circumstances, the
permanent independence of Ha-
wall, would be better than anEexa-
ton, for if we could maintain an
Independent free port here, for the
commerce of all nations, it would,
probably, bring vastly more money
and prosperity into the country
than il would, if under some re-
stricted policy of the United States
But our policy of annexation IS de-
clared, and we must adhere to 1t.
Evidently, the feeling in England
is, that any Canadian cable, which
may be landed here, Will uitl-
mately fall under the jurisdiction
.ofthe United States. British states
men believe that the political bridge
is being built.

TIE AWFUL CoCOANUT TREE.

A tall cocoanut tree now leans
far over the Waikiki road, in the
most threatening way, and 1T is
thought may crash down, at any
moment, across that boulevard,
and kill somebody, who may be
passing under it. Ladies, riding
by in their carriages, look up to it
with terror, and urge their horses
to dash by it. Even the unam-
bilious mules of the tram cars,
trembling for their own safety, gal
lop past it, and the devout Portu-
guese drivers cross themselves,
whenever they escape it.
fit were some wild beast crouch
ing for prey, the community would
soon find a way of getting rid of it.
But it is only a meek and aged
tree, which has no evil Intentions,
and may kill people only by mere
accident, and there is, perhaps, no
law governing such case. There
is nothing to do, it seems, but to be
patient, until some one is badly In
iured or killed, and then there will
be a gloom over society, and every
body will exclaim, "What an out
rage!" If some eminent and good
citizen should be killed, his friends
will meet and pass a resolution to
the effect that, "Whereas, Divine
Providence has, in His mysterious
way, seen proper to remove our be-
loved brother" etc. At the same
time, curiously enough, these
friends, including the good man
himself, hesitate to meet, before
| the tree falls, or to promptly cut II
down and avoid the dispensation
The Queen of Spain was recently
drowned near the shore, because
the law forbid any one to touch
Royal person. So this dangerou;
tree is permitted to threaten, be-
cause there is no law to touch the
case.

In Washington are men of great
experience. energy and resources,
and they have engineered ="
through, with marvellous skill, the
many pension laws. The payment
OF the vast pension list has now
exhausted the Federal revenues.
One of the worst features of this
business is, that many deserving
men, who are entitled to pensions,
will not apply for them because
the flavor of fraud is now, unfortu-
nately and unjustly, over all appli'
cations. We heard a great Union
General say, several years ago, that
in after times, these frauds would
be the greatest scandal of the cen
tury.

PENSION FRAUDS IN AMERICA.

The pension frauds" existing
in the United States are the most
extensive public frauds of modern
times. In 1870, General Garfield
stated in Congress that the extreme
call by the pension list: for funds,
would be about $25,0oO,OOO per
annum. and that it would then
decrease. The list rose to $9O,OCo,-
600 in 1891. At these figures,
nearly thirty years after the war; 1t
exceeded the annual cost OF any
one of the great standing armies
ofEurope, largely exceeding the cost
Of maintaining the German army OF
half a million of men. The last APP
nronr;ation now calls for $15O,OOo,-
0oO-nearly enough to support the
creat armies of both France and
Germany. -,
In nearly every town in the
States, men are known, who have
fraudulently obtained pensions.
systematic perjury is committed
everywhere in procuring them
Curiously enough, public opinion
is dead on the subject. In the
small towns, the citizens prefer to
have Migrants or inebriated veter'
ans saddled on the Government
rather than be subjected themselves
70 a town tax, in order to support
these men in the aims houses
There is also feeling of gratitude
towards these men, who did the
