A Jealous Earmer..s Crime.

CANANDAIGUA, n. Y, June MAX
on Miller, farmer, who lived in Ches-
hire, about six miles west of here,
walked into his home last night and
deliberately fired three shots at the
hired man, E. G.. Relish. He then
walked over to where his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Ward, was sitting and shot
her twice, both balls taking effect.
Miller then shot himself in the fore
head and died in few minutes. His
wife escaped to some neighbors. Relish
escaped any serious injury, only one
shot having, taken effect, and that one
in the left arm. Mrs. Ward may re-
cover. Relish says that Miller had been
absent from home for several months,
and that the family had no intimation
of his being in the neighborhood. The
reason for committing the deed is said
to be jealousy. Il is reported that Mil
Ter had said that Relish had been undu-
" intimate with his wife, and for that
reason he had declared that he would
kill him.

II THE L. :. Senate last Thursday
Mr.. Mills, OF Texas, said: "The gov
eminent of the United States having
overturned the government OF Hawaii
and having placed the people of the
Hawaiian Islands under a military
power against which they had no pow
or to protect themselves, it is the duty
Of this government to tear down that
oligarchy which it has established by
force, and permit the people of the Ha-
waiian Islands to institute their oW u
government This is the whole mat
ter in a nutshell, and is what most dis
interested, unprejudiced and fair mind
ed men, familiar with it, must think Of
it. Whether the head Of the legiti-
mate government of Hawaii be mig
ger" as the Northern flibusters call
her, or whether she be bloodthirsty
and immoral, has nothing to do with
the case. This government did a great
wrong to poor, weak and friendly
nation, and it should undo that wrong
os soon as possible 1t should have
been uudone long ago, but better late
than never. 1t was dono by repuhli-
can President, and should have been
undonc by his democratic successor as
soon as he came into power.

mouths ago, that Mr.. Beck was taken

grew more violent and Mr.. Beck sum

From Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, June >. The steamer
Australia arrived here this morning
from Honolulu bringing advices up to
May %. Affairs continue quiet. The
prospect of an early consolidation o!
government upon fixed constitutional
basis has developed very marked in
crease of public confidence, such as has
not existed since the provisional gov
eminent was formed. The natives
continue to be possessed with the idea
that President Cleveland intends to
soon carry out his former proposal to
restore the queen. Although majority
OF the natives prefer monarchy, they
are expected to acquiesce passively in
the new order of things. The coasting
steamer Jwalaui sailed on the 26,h for
Neckar island for the purpose Of raising
the Hawaiian flag on it. The British
ship Champion sailed two hours later,
it is believed, on a like errand. The
island is one of the Hawaiian group,

Treasury acknowledging that he wrote
a letter introducing the chief of the

rial committee preparing the sugar
schedule Of the tariff bill, and another
member Of that committee confessing
that he bought sugar stocks when he
knew they would rise as soon as the
schedule referred to was made public,
and with members of the House of
Representatives charged and convicted
of all sorts Of crimes and vices, it isn't
at all wonderful that the feeling in

STILL AFTER THE CoMMuTTEE.-1t
seems to me that the democratic organ
bears the same relation to the party
that the parent does to the child, and
when the conduct of one child threat
ems to disturb the peace Of the family
or disrupt its organization, then it is
the duty of the parent to take hand
and prevent further trouble. A partisan
paper that contends for and demands
square dealing in its own family-circle
gains and holds the respect and conf
dence Of all parties. Prate as much as
you please about ''oul" party being the
model of purity and the administration
of good government, and at the same
time allow the representative members
of the party to rob and cheat each other
without rebuke from the monitor (the
press, that, more thanI any other
thing, impairs the influence of press
and party for good. The press has this
advantage over the individual: What
it says is said to many hearers, and if at
first it is misunderstood it can be re-
read until one gets its meaning.

ADVENTURE WITH A SIIARK-The
schooner Maggie A. Phillips arrived at
Baltimore yesterday from Governors
Harbor, Bahamas, with 5000 pine
apples. Capt. Shores reports an exciting
experience with large shark on Sun
day last while in the Gulf Stream. The
man eater was fully six feet long and
accompanied by his pilots. A large
hook was attached to line and baited.
The shark promptly bit clear through
the hook. Another and larger hook,
protected by wood, was also snapped
in twain by the sharp teeth Of the mon
ster. He must have been extremely
hungry, as he continued to follow the
vessel. Capt. Shores secured boat
hook, and, with a well-directed blow,
cut cash about six inches long in the
big fellows back. The water around
became tinged with blood, aud in a
short time the shark disappeared
Capt. Shores left six schooners in Eleu-
thera loading pinapples for Baltimore.
