It is asserted by the London Pail Mall
cent. of the men manning the British
mercantile marine are foreigners The
chief reason why ship owners prefer
foreign seamen is said to be that the
foreigners are more easily satisfied as
regards food and accommodation than
British seamen. The deficiency in English
sailors is considered serious, because the

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the digestble and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

Electricity in Water.

From many observations and expert
ments NJ 2. Lenard finds that drops OF
water falling upon water or wet bodies
generate electricity, the water becoming
electrified positively, and the air escap-
ing negatively electrified from the foot
of the fall, and light impurities in the
water diminish the effect considerably
The essential conditions of identification
are the conclusions among the drops
themselves and against the wet rock,
no effect being due to the waters fall
through the air and its dispersion by it.
A jet of water falling from an insulated
tank to an insulated pail electrified the
latter positively, while the negative cleo

Mr.. DAMON AND THE AMERICAN
LEAGUE.

In his brief speech at the meet
ing of the American League on
Monday evening, Mr.. Damon said
that he desired that the American
League should have a representa-
tive in the Advisory Council.
Without criticising Mr.. Damon's
opinion, we would like to ask him
what political principle he has in
view in expressing that opinion?
The League is composed of a num-
Der of Americans. 1t excludes
English, Germans and Portuguese,
who largely outnumber the Ameri-
cans. 1t is also a secret league.
Does Mr.. Damon desire that every
secret league containing an I'M
known number Of members shall
have representative in the Coun-
Gil? If a number of Englishmen
form secret English league in
favor of annexation, shall they
have a representative in the Coun-
Gil? Will he serve the Germans
In the same way? If there are
number of Portuguese leagues shall
each be entitled to a number of
representatives in the Council?
We are not discussing the question
of representation, but merely ask
ing Mr.. Damon how he proposes to
work out the principle in the Pro-
visional Government. Mr.. Damon
desires that only the older men,
bers of the League shall be repre-
sented. Why not the younger
members. Where shall he draw
the line? Some excellent men |
have Joined the League lately. Are
these to be excluded? What shall |
be done if the Annexation Club |
asks to be represented? And what
if the clubs of other islands ask to
be represented? In asking these
we desire merely to get
at Mr.. Damon's theory of the case,
without criticising his remarks.

LILIUOKALANI.

The queen stood on the royal deck,
Whence all but her had fled,
The scoop that hit the throneless
wreck
Had scraped her crownless head.
Yet beautiful and bright she stood,
AS born to rule the storm,
A creature of peculiar blood,
A proud, though squatty form.
The scoop rolled on; she would not go,
Without her patrons word,
That patron, knocked out, don't you
know,
Her voice no longer heard.
She called aloud: "Say, Grover, say
If yet the throne is mine ?"
She did not know her patron lay
In hopelesSness supine.
Speak, Grover" once again, she
cried,
eff all my hope is gone ?"
And but the Dolecrats replied,
And fast the scoop rolled on !
She shouted but once more aloud
4'Oh, Grover, can't stay ?"
While round her passed the conquer
ing crowd
All fixed the other way.
They swiped the queen in splendid
style,
They flung the flag on high,
They got there with both feet, mean
while,
And Freedom was their cry.
There came burst of thunder sound,
The queen, oh, where was she?
Ask of the winds, that WhiSkers found
On Blount and Grover G..
With throne and crown and sceptre,
too,
That long had swayed by might,
The queen and all her vicious crew
Were buried out of sight.

THAT LOUISIANA COMPARISON.

The Star day or two since con-
tanned a communication from some
one in Louisiana who contended
that at plantation in that State
twenty thousand tons of sugar were
raised by a force of about three
hundred men. The absurdity of
this has already been exposed and
indeed it is too obvious to need any
exposure. The idea that one man
could take care of eighty or hun
dred acres of cane is something
which experts will pass by on the
other side with shrug and smile.

Uncle SANS Tropical Islands.

Capt. John Ross, in speaking of
something recently published in
regard to the undesirability of the
United States owning islands so
far away as the Hawaiian Islands,
says it does not appear to be gen.
orally known that the United
States owns seventy-five islands in
the North and South Pacific. They
are nearly all within II degrees of
the equator, north or south, and
are principally guano islands of
small size, which have been taken
possession of by Americans. The
American coasting laws apply to
them, and foreign vessels are re-
stricted from carrying guano from
them to the United States. Many
of these islands are further from
this coast than the Hawaiian ISL
ands, so Capt. Ross thinks there
could be no objection to the United
States owning the latter ALSO

THE END OF AN HONORABLE SERVICE.

The termination of J. o. Carter
business connection with the house
of Brewer & Co., after a long and
honorable term of service, has ex-
cited great deal of sympathy for
Mr.. Carter, and is in itself a mat
ter to inspire the sincerest regret.
We share in this feeling to the full
est extent. At the same time it is
only just to say that the stock
holders of Brewer & Co. have only
done what every one would have
done in their place, and what they
were justified in doing.
This is world of conflict, and
political and religious differences
between true and honorable men
are natures common order. Some
times these differences pass into a
phase so acute that they disin-
tegrate the strongest bonds between |
men, and the present instance
seems to afford a case of this kind. |
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Carter
should have cut himself loose from
the cause which in this country
stands for all that is saving and
good in national life. In having
lone so, it is natural that he
should have to bear the conse-
luences.

every qualification, to make a
careful study of the conditions
of the sugar industry there
and the courtesy of planters placed
peculiar facilities at his disposal
If the negro in the South does the
work Of nine and a quarter of Chi
namen in Hawaii, it is just posi-
bic that Mr.. Baldwin would have
found it out. The truth is that,
while Hawaiian planters have some
thing to learn, the state of the SUI
gar industry in Hawaii is, on the
whole, one of high efficiency.
AT the same time there is an
idea of great value and Importance
at the basis of this unlucky COM
parison between Louisiana and
Hawaii. 1t is that labor is not
necessarily cheap because it is low
priced, or dear because it is high
priced. 1t is huge economic fall
lacy to confound low earning
power in the laborer with low cost
to the employer of labor. On the
contrary, low wages generally
mean low productive power. This
truth, which practical men are apt
10 overlook has been pointed out
,ver again by economists of the
highest rank, such as Mill, Cairnes
ind Gen. Walker. 1t is probably
rue that American labor, which is
he highest priced is at the same
ime the cheapest in the world.
What we desire to Sc is an ex-
ended application of this impor-
ant economical truth to the plant
ng industry of Hawaii. The lab
rer who earns high wages, because
e is well fed, well clothed and
oused, intelligent, contented and
is the laborer who is
'anted in Hawaii. When he is
nee established here the labor
uestion will be solved, and there
ill be no occasion for exceptional
nd questionable legislation to in
'oduce a class of laborers here
hom we do not want
At present the class of labor
hich promises best for the healthy
svelopment of Hawaii is the Por-
Iguese, and every effort should be
ade to secure Portuguese labor,
1der conditions of course which
i'll be profitable to both parties, {
the employer as well as the en-
owed.

at once. 1t will be the voice of

take.-Cincinnati Star.

If there's better Or more
economical way of building
wire fences than by the Jones
Locked method, we've never
heard of it. "The best is the
cheapest" is a term usually
applied to articles of a super
Tor quality which cost a great
deal of money. The same eX-
preston may be used in con-
nection with the locked fence,
because it is decidedly super
Tor to any other fence, and be-
cause it costs less money than
the ordinary style fencing.
We will be pleased to answer
any inquiries regarding the
locked fence.
The enamel bath tubs we

makers of these goods. The
same article is used in the best

featuring Co., is celebrated for
the character of their goods,
and for that reason more of |
their enamel tubs are sold than

we look to for further evidence
of their superiority. We have

Fortvtwo years ago Mr. Collisions father

from Illinois to Oregon. In the party
was young man named Tom Page who
was taken sick while on the road and
one night becoming delirious escaped
from the camp which had been pitched
ON the Columbia river. No trace of him
could be found and after a thorough
search the party went on their way sup
posing that the young man had been
drowned, Nothing had been heard of
him since but in the letter which Mr..
Callison received was the information
that Pages relatives have Just learned
that the young man was not drowned
but captured by Indians who held him
captive for II years in a locality where
communication with the whites was i'm.
possible. At the expiration of that time
he had ceased to yearn for civilization,
was adopted into the tribe, married a
squaw and has amassed large fortune.
