The Judge was talking to the man

WHAT TIE BISHOP SAID.

The sermon of Bishop Vincent at To-
peka last Sunday week, on woman
suffrage. is provoking great deal of dis
cussion behind which war clouds of the
most threatening blackness In porten-
tious volumes are overcasting the po-
litical sky, especially that portion of the
sky Immediately over the camp of the
radical equal suffragists. One young
lady from Boston got up and marched
out of the church with a swish of skirts
that is liable to so rafting adown the
corridors of time It's only fair to say,
however, that many women endorse all
he said. "Once push woman into
publicity" said Bishop Vincent, ''and
change her relations to the domestic
and retired spheres of life,
and watch the result. If you
would know what woman can do, read
the story of the Commune in Paris and
the riots in Pittsburg. Woman's pecul-
lar endowments and Limitations are her
opportunities She is weak where man
is strong. and strong where man is weak.
She supplants man. She accer tuates
by natural endowment the gracious
qualities that man most needs. She has
hunger for love and trust. She is strong
in trust, and man is made stronger by
being trusted. Free from the tempta-
tons of the public political arena, she is
able TO lift man up. Exposed to these
new perils, she must be with man
dragged down.

TEE SLAVERY OF 1T.

There is more in the new southwestern
coalition than mere trade interests. 1t
is combined effort of the south and
west to throw off the yoke which has
already CALLED us too long. 1t is pro-
test against the right of one section TO
prey upon another. 1t is the spontane-
GUS outbreak against form of tyranny,
not of our own making, but none the
less intolerable to Anglo-Saxon blood.
1t is said, with more or less truth, that
time regulates all things. The inequali-
ties which men impose upon each other
must yield to this rule for the very
reason that serfdom in any form is in
voluntary, and therefore maintained by
superior force. Once the thin5 exists,
there is rebellion in the mind and pur-
pose of the enslaved, no matter wbst the
discrepancy in wealth or numbers.
Since the beginning of history there has
been an irrepressible conflict between
master and slave, whether it be indi-
vidual service, or the exaction Of a
class against the masses, the human in
stinct to rise in revolt will not down.
The difference between one section ex-
acting tribute from another and that of
involuntary servitude is one of kind and
degree, and not of principle. AS long as
eastern railroads levy tribute on the west
and southwest by extra freight charges,
SO long do they rob us of that which is
as sacred as our personal liberty. Strip
ped of all DISCUSSES and pretexts it is the
same Ubiquitous principle that enslaves
race or q nation. Fortunately the
remedy is in our own hands, and neither
truces nor compromises will be consider
ed. We know our rights and dare
maintain them.

He learned this much, however.

NICKELS IN THE SLOT.
Seeley ShaE's New Machine Will
Have to Go Under.

The festive nickel in the SLOT
machine, which, : few years ago,
created such q furore on the Coast,
has, until recently, found its way
TO Honolulu only in the shape of
3 weighing machine. i few weeks
ago, however, one Of the late inven-
ti0ns in this line was put in use at
the Merchants Exchange saloon.
This machine gained rapidly IN
favor. The idea was a simple one.
AL you had to do was to put a
nickel in the slot, and if you were
lucky you would get q number Of
nickels back. But generally you
weren't lucky, as the machines
we're made for business. and not
philanthropy. II the nickle went
into z certain slot, one of three, all
the other nickelE would come
tumbling joyously cut, and the
lucky man would walk away with
them. But this slot was delusion
and g snare. and seldom did the
nickel drop into the right slot.
But the natives and sailors liked to
play the game, and it did thriving
business.
Yesterday, however, the authori-
ties tnok a hand, aud served SeeIy
Shaw with q summons to appear
and answer to a charge Of running
g game whereby money was lost
and won. In this case the sum-
mons does not Rad right. No
money was won.

not make mis- appearance yester-
day.
Several theories are advanced to
account for Festherstone's dash for
liberty and one is that he wished
to see his wife before the decree of
divorce was granted hoping that he
would prevail on her to drop the
proceedings. He was seen talking
to several Portuguese on the morn
ing he escaped and it Is thought
that he wanted to send a message
OF some kind by them but before
he could make the men under
stand, the luna ordered him to go
to work. 1t was about an hour
after this episode that he ran away.
Featherstone escaped with the very
light sentence of nine months one

weeks so he would have had only

TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

QUEBEC, Sept. 1.-Messrs. Low and
Eaton of the Geological Survey and
four Indians reached here yesterday
on their way home to Ottawa on q
journey OF fifteen months through the
interior of Labrador peninsulaI. A
brief outline Of their trip from Lake
st. John to Ugava Bay in the extreme
north, which connects with Hudson
strait, has already appeared, based
upon personal letters from the explor-
ers. They filled IN this story with the
record of their discoveries.
Early in the year the expedition left
Eskimo bay, or Hamilton inlet, to
Ieeross the interior of Labrador. Low
travelled 500 miles in dog sleighs, max
ing explorations. About March LIST
the whole party began the ascent Of
Hamilton river. Six or eight Eskimo
half-breeds were engaged to assist in
hauling provisions, but were dis
pensed with after fortnight.
Up to about May 18th the explorers
assembled the river in sleighs, then the
ice gave way and the progress of the
party was rendered extremely danger
Gus by reason of the large masses of
s1dR C4 1CC " lDCl TIC
noes. One canoe upset and two Indi-
ans were in the water for nearly half
an hour.
The great falls Of the Hamilton river
were reached before the ice went out,
and many beautiful photographs were
obtained from all points. No previous
expedition could have had full view
Of the falls, as only when the river is
frozen can they be approached within
five miles. The river has total fall
Of 500 feet. In the center of the falls
there is a sheer vertical fall of 800 feet.
The river is about as large as the
Ottawa. For 8 quarter of mile there
is a rise of 700 feet 10 the portage lead
ing to the head of the falls. The eata-
ract is confined within walls 800 to
so feet in height and perfectly yerti-
cal. In places below the falls the can

JAPANS ARMY AND NAVY.
The Well Organized and Equipped
Service Of That Country.

Immediately after the Civil War the
Emperor Of Japan, who had decided
to "knropeaniEe" his country and his
court, saw INST the immediate neces-
sity OF organizing the army. Young
men were sent TO study in the milf
tary schools Of France aud England,
while French and English instructors
were engaged 10 come to Japan. IL
was In lS6S when the French Empire
seemed to be leading Europe, and
had covered itself with glory i'm AL
geria, Italy and the Crimes. The
Japanese did not hesitate in copying
the French army as much and as we'll
rs they could. French instructors
were called TO Japan, and the old,
huge, groteSque iron mask helmets
which were supposed to brighten the
enemy-chain aud lacquer armor,
were replaced by modern uniforms
copied from the French. The Japan
ese of all times have always been
great warriors, fearless, full Of courage
and energy, nearly the whole of the
male population being accustomed 10
the use OF arms. They are able TO
stand any amount of fatigue. After
the war OF 1870, the influence OF France
IN the japanese army yielded to that
of Germany. Prussian officers were
called TO Japan, and the French
"kepi' was replaced by the German
nat and round military cap. But OF
late the French have come 10 the
mont again, and many Of the best jap
anese officers are graduates from st.
Cyr, the Polytechnique aud Saumr.
The army uniform and equipments
OF the modern Japanese officer are ex-
actly like those OF the French. Since
1874 CONSUMPTION is law in Japan, and
every male inhabitant in the country
Is subject TO military service from IL
TO 40 years OF age. The japanese land
forces are divided into: First, standing
army, three years service; second,
standing army reserve, four years SER
vice; third, reserves, five years service;
fourth, territorial army, eleven years
to serve.
The standing army reserves are re-
quirej TO serve sixty DAYS each wear.
but the territorial army Is called ont
only in case Of war or grave emerVen-
cy. \ sweeping system OF exemptions
exists, but as it is, the standing army
comprises about $4,000 soldiers. In a
few days the number can easily be
raised TO 10000, comprising only men
who have served, for the most part,
three years.
The proportions of the different arms
are: infantry, 102, $50; cavalry 1,45e;
1851; engineers, 3,592; trans
ports 50, COS; gendarmes l, 1856; military
schools, e,sl0; central staff, 2,Ol4; i'm
perial guard, 1881.
There are 40 staff officers, $50 COM
missioned officers and 10, 1861 non-eom-
missioned officers.
Japanis navy is copied from that OF
England. She has FIVE ironclads, 81
cruisers and a torpedo boats.
