The Hawaiian Islands.

The Hawaiian group of islands arc
the most isolatcd bits Of land upon the
globe. They are two thousand miles
from the mainland and eighteen hum
drcd and sixty miles from any other
land worth calling such, They are not
bits which once formed portions OF
some larger piece of land, and were
subsequently isolated by oceanic
changes ILcy are of volcanic origin,
having at some period been thrown up
from the bottom of the sea. One con-
ecqucncc is that they have flora al
most peculiar to themselves A large
proportion of the native plants are
found nowhere else.

DOCTORS AND cLEReYMEN.
The Former Much the shorter Lived. ThelK
Arduous wark Being tho Cause.


Tho deaths of several well-lxnown
medical practitioners lately at ages
but little beyond the middle period of
life have given shock to a good many
of their professional brethren And
no wondcrl One of the fret things q
doctor naturally aims at is the preserve
tion of his own health and life. If he
cannot keep himself alive and well, the
prospect is certainly not encouraging
for his patients. II is commonly be-
loved that doctors are short-lived
class. Is the popular belief well found
ed? 1t is, according to the London
Hospital, only too well founded. In
his ''Vital Statistics" DR.. Arthur
Newsholme informs us that of every
1000 clergymen between the ages of As
and 65 only )3 die annually. But OF
every 1000 doctors between the ages of
IS and G5 no fewer than 2S.03 die every
year. That is to say, the mortality OF
medical men is almost double that OF
elergymen. And the rate is increasing.
Twenty years ago it was only "a instead
of 2S. These are facts to make us
pause. They seem to throw an ugly
doubt upon the competency of our pro-
fessional skill 1t may perhaps be
argued that clergymen are financially
more prosperous than medical men;.
but that would be quite fallacious, be-
cause DR.. Newsholme includes in his
clerical class the minister's of all the
nonconforming denominations; and,
class for class, there is no doubt that
medical men are much better off than
the body of clergymen as thus consti
tuted. What is the reast then, for
this portentous death roll? 1t is to be
found in the nrduous nature of the doc
tors daily work. But then the doctor
knows the arduousness of his work,
and if he had faith in physiology he
would counteract the effect of that
arduousness by more holidays and by
combining with his fellow doctors to
diminish the killing strain. This is a
matter which is generally talked about
and then dropped.

The Strange Warning That Was Given on
a Mountain Road.
We were riding slowly and carefully
down q steep hill in the Sierras, says a
writer in Home and Country. The road
was barely wide enough for two horse
Eson abreast.
Suddenly cry rent the air.
In a eeeonl it was repeated and

The judge, my companion, uttered
an emphatic sentence which did not

haste, leaving me perplexed and
amazed.
At that instant the sharp, weird cry
was repeated and Immediately l was
confronted by the head of long,
heavily laden mulo train, The mules,
with their panniers, monopoliaod the
entire width OF the road. The animals,
painfully la5oring, were on the run,
inpollod by the muletaer's cries and

Mrs. MiIlet's Suit Against the Bradbury
Estate.
Yesterday the second trial of the suit
of Mrs. N. L. Millet vs. Bradbury ct al.
began in Judge Shsw's court before q
jury.
In this case the plaintiff, sister OF L.
L. Bradbury. the deceased millionaire,
sues for $4,000 for services alleged to
have been performed for him during his
lifetime.
The case was tried once before and a
jury gave the plaintiff verdict for
$4,000. 1t was set aside by Judge Shaw,
ms the jury had taken into consideration
a period OF time barred by the statute of
limitations. The iseues in the present
trial have been limited to the views ex-
pressed by the court heretofore and to
which he adheres.
After the impeachment of the jury the
greater portion of the day was taken up
by reading to the jury portions of the
evidence taken at the fermer trial. it

FREE SILVER IN ILLINOIS.
The Struggle Among Its Democrats VIII

Tho Struggle Among Its Democrats Will
be Based on the White Metal.
WARRINGTON, May Ia struggle will,
it is said, take place in the Illinois DEM
ocratic convention when it meets at
Springfield June 9th. between the sill
yer and anti-silver men. An effort is to
be made by the friends of President
Cleveland to secure an endorsement OF
his financial policy, and on that issue
the party may be squarely divided. The
resolutions among the Illinois Demo-
Gratis in Washington on this subject
have already become very earnest and
give an intimation how intense the fight
will be when the final test comes.
Senator Palmer, Comptroller of the
Currency Eckles and First Assistant
Postmaster General Jones will, 1t is
said, insist on an unqualified indorse-
ment of Mr.. Cleveland's financial policy.
They will carry from Washington a
ready made plank to be inserted in the
platform, and will be met with the
resistance of the silver men, of whom
Williams, Fithian and Mcdonald are
the leaders. Mr.. Fithian, in speech
accepting the congressional nomination
a few days ago at. Greenup, repudiated
President Cleveland'H view on the
money question. and Mr.. Lane. another
OF the Southern Illinois members, has
asserted that the president ought to be
impeached for his veto of the Bland
seigniorage bill.
Congressman Forman, who represents
Colonel Morrison's old congressional
district, is not likely TO be with his
southern friends when this question
comes before the convention. He voted
for the unconditional repeal OF the Sher-
man law, and is known to be an admin
istration man. Cleveland looks to the
Chicago Democrats to come to his rescue
in this fight and prevent the Illinois
Democracy from being committed to
free silver. A large majority of the
rural Democrats are said 10 be partial
to the white metal.

The Canal Boat Owners association
OF New York held mass meeting and
passed resolutions denunciatory OF the
Republican majority in the New York
legislature for its penurious and short
sighted policy in reference to the man
sgement of the Erie canal and its tribu-
tsries. These are the main arteries of
the Empire state by which breadstuffs
and other heavy freight from the far
west are carried to tidewater. 1t is
very plainly to be seen that all the rail-
roads are represented at Albany by their
hired lobbyists and that the canals are
kept closed six weeks longer in every
year than those of adjacent tates. The
producers of Western New York are so
much exasperated over the way things
are going that the open canal question
is likely to become live issue In the
next election. Both parties, in this
particular matter, have proven recresnt
to their trusts, and the next legislature
Of the state is likely to contain an I'M
usually large number OF independents.

/, see New York become a Republican

to see New York become q Republican
state.
The greatest danger in the way Of re-
form lies in the present governor OF New
York, Roswell P. Flower. His failure
to remove the brutal Brockway from the
management OF the Elmira reformstory,
shows that he is q man who is lin the
hands Of his friends."
The Tammsny cannibals are devouring
the very substance OF New York and
piling upon the property owners OF that
city degree of taxation which virtually
amounts to confscstion. II Governor
Flower was q level-hsaded man and not
bound hand and foot by all sorts Of en-
tsngling alliances, he would soon see
that his only way out OF this trouble was
to aid in choking off the Tammany grip.
II he approves these bills he will
squelch Tsmmany only, but II he We.
toes them he will choke down the whole
Democratic party and give the state over
into the hands of the Republicans for
the election of 1896.

EFFORTS FOR MUNICIPAL FREEDOM.

The term of csnnibal has generally
been applied to the natives OF the Aus
tralasian colonies and those of the Poly
nesian archipelago, but We apply it here
to that class OF politicians who devour
the substance OF their fellow men through
iniquitous legislation and "ways that are
dark" The statement OF Senator Lang
bein that "Tammany divides over two
million dollars among ten men every
year, of which the lions share goes to
Croker" finds something like vertical
ton in the fact that the Tammany boss
about eight months ago, purchased a
one-half interest in the horses on the
Belle Meade farm, nssr Nashville, at a
price for which General Jackson would
have gladly sold, in 1890. every hoof
that he had.
Just 30 long as this Tammsny orgsni-
zation can keep its proteges at the heads
of the several departments of the mu-
nicipal government in New York city,
just go long will that city be robbed,
right and left; and no matter how honest
a man the mayor of the city may be, his
hands are manscled, and he is like
helpless cripple in the clutch OF the
Tammany tiger. In order to relieve this
outrageous condition, the antiTammany
Democrats, aided by the Republicans,
have passed two bills through the as
sembly, one OF which gives the mayor
the right to appoint new heads of de-
partments within sixty days following
his election. The other is TO compel the
department of docks to advertise for
bids for all jobs of work exceeding $3.50
in value.
The latter bill would never have been
introduced had there not been urgent
necessity for such legislation. Under
the smooth and unchecked management
OF Tammsny politician named Andrew
White, the dock department OF New
York ie being made the hoteed of pecu-
lstion and fraud. Lumber contracts are
let to partisan favorites at $26 per thous-
and feet OF lumber which any private
citizen can purchase for 500, aud sim
liar system of addition, division and
silence pervades every branch of public
work in that city.
There can be no doubt that both these
bills will pass and become laws if Gov.
ernor Flower does not veto them, for
they have already passed the house, and
the senate has enough anti-Tammany
Democratic members to insure the as
cage. The question is, will any n
prove recreant to their pledges g
election, or "fall down." as it isc Z?
We think not. The only hope OF adj
vancement these anti Tammany Demo-
Gratis have is to stay where they were
put. The Republicans will refuse Tam
msny's brides. Of course. ss they want

THE Times Union, of Albany, II. Y,
makes very strong argument in favor
OF female suffrage when it says that
"Women in New York state, outside OF
New York city, own over $500, 200, 900
worth OF property; and if what women
own in the metropolis could be counted
in, 1t is believed that those figures could
be doubled. And yet women are not
allowed to vote. although taxation with.
out representation was the justifying
cause of the American revolution. !"
This is certainly very hard argument
to answer. Newspapers devoted to the
female suffrage question ought to copy
this article and keep il standing at the
head of their editorial columns.

HOW TO BRING OUR TAXES DOWN.

This city and county are oppressed
with taxation out of all proportion to
what it would be under a Just and fairly
economical system. San Francisco has
for years kept within or very near the
dollar limit in taxation. and it will be
remembered that San Francisco is a con-
solidsted city and county government
with only one set of officers. Los Ange-
les, on the contrary, has a double gov
eminent with two sets OF officers and
double taxation.
The break-neck pace at which We are
going in public expenditure will result
disastrously unless we soon call halt.
We are handicapped with double officers
who do the same work, and the ten
dency is constantly to add to the num-
Der who feed at the public crib. 1t
makes very little difference which party
is in power, the public expenditure
keeps mounting and the number of
supernumerary officials Indispensable,
needless to cay that this tendency is
aggravated whore one party is so strong
that it can count on reelection year
after year with almost absolute GER
tainty. The fealty of the officials in
such cases is transferred from the people
to the knot of politicians who work the
machine" As long as they keep on
good terms with the machine" they
treat the grievances and complaints of
the oppressed taxpayers with indiffer-
ence if not contempt.
There is hardly taxpayer in the COM
munity who is 80 bereft OF reasoning
power as not to know that adhesion to
party when it comes to the selection OF
county and municipa officers is not only
but fraught with abuses and ex-
travsgances in the conduct OF orr local
public affairs which must result in in
jury to our interests and in rate of
taxation which will in the end bear upon
US 30 oppressively as to drive away peo-
pie who would otherwise be glad to take
part and lot with US in city and county
which has unrivsled possibilities OF
growth. Every taxpayer in
Los Angeles wants public Offices to be
conducted on sensible business princi-
pies. He knows that this cannot be
achieved if party machines are permit
ted to control municipal elections. If
the people do not divorces party from the
control OF local Offices, public business
will continue to be managed on ruin
ously lavish principles and taxation will
grow more and more oppressive.
There should be sensible movement
made by the people to select men to fill
the Offices on account of their honesty
and fitness, and not because they are
good Republicans or good Democrats.
Until this is done we shall continue to
see our public expenses increase, our
local debts assume larger proportions.
our officials selected because they are
good party men and not because they
are the best qualified to serve the public.
and the time for reform and retrench-
ment will be postponed indefinitely.

That confession of Hyman Blumen.
thai. the New York tenement house
owner who set fire to his five-story house
on East Broadway in order to get the
insurance, should send him to the gal
lows whether any of the inmates die of
their burns or not. The building con-
tanned 108 inmates besides Blumenthal
and his partner, Silverberg, who kept a
secondhand store in the lower story.
There are altogether too many fires in
that class of buildings and, as they gem
orally occur at an hour When most people
are sound asleep, the loss of life ia
frightful. Incendiaries who apply the
torch to tenement houses should be put
upon an equal footing with dynamite
bomb-throwers. The cowardice of their
crime is its worst and moSt malignant
feature.
