"REHEARING REUSED"

Nash Case.

Nash Case.
At last the Supreme Court de
clded to declare itself on the rehear
ing in the Nash case and after many
Z weeks of careful ?),'supposed deliber
alton, that tribunal on last Wednes
day, refused q rehearing, and the
opinion OF Judge Taylor is affirmed
This is one Of the most important
cases that has eyer been before the
courts OF our parish. The crime 70,
which Nash was convicted and in
e1platlon Of which he Low sits under
the shawdows of the gaiiows, was one
which, taking into consideration all
things connected Herewith, was
OF the most heineous we have ever
heard of. The disposition shown by
this murderer places him beyond the
pity OF thinking people; for not only
did he utterly and wantonly aisre-
gard the laws Of our State, but like
wise committed the graver crime Of
giving no heed to the room adjoining,
which was crowded with ladies, en-
gagged in the service of God and Ia
boring for His cause, little wrecking
how many crushed, bruised, bleeding
dead bodies of these noble women
and innocent children which might
follow in the blind rush for escape,
when the sounds Of his murderous
pistol shots rang out on the other
wise peaceful daylight air. Nor is
this all; for laying aside the fact that
he was aided il his cowardly and
brutal assassination by his equally
stepped in crime friend Kid Barnett.

THE TEHUANTEPEC ROAD.
A Railway Which Has Been Looked
For For Years.

The Tehusntepec Railway is finish
ed. The last spike has been driver
] in the steel highway that has beer
looked for and hoped for through
many years, and all that remains tc
complete the formal opening of the
road is the official acceptance by
the Mexican Government of the
work of the contractors.
The Tehusntepec road is not, as
many have supposed, the realization
of the Eads scheme of ship railway
that was to carry loaded vessel
from one ocean to another. It is
like the Panama line, an ordinary
railroad, where freight will be taken
from ships on one side of the
isthmus and loaded again into ships
on the other side. Unlike the
Panama road, however, it is not the
property of private corporation,
and is not tied up by contracts or
discriminating agreements that
would prevent it from being an open
highway of commerce. 1t is the
property of the Mexican Govern
ment, and if the announcements
heretofore made are to be believed.
it will give the same service on the
same terms to all who send their
goods over it.
The Tehuantepec Railroad is, in
way at present disadvantage with
the Panama line. 1t is longer, for
its route is 205 miles from ocean to
ocean, against the AZ miles of the
Panama road; the height to be over
come is 700 feet, against the 300 feet
at the southern isthmus, and the
harbors at the termini of the line are
not yet in condition to admit large
vessels. On the other hand. the
Tehuantepec Railroad cuts a large
slice ont of the middle of the water
journey between San Francisco and
the Gulf, the Mississippi valley and
the Atlantic cities. From San Fran
cisco to New York by Panama is an
average voyage of 6,O63 miles. By
Tehuantepec it is reduced to 1880, a
clear saving of LIB miles. From
San Francisco to New Orleans by
Panama is 5,418 miles, a saving of
1857 miles.
The importance of this road to
San Francisco, if the promises made
in its behalf are carried out, can be
seen at glance. If San Francisco
merchants may charter their own
vessels, ship their goods across the
isthmus by road that is not tied up
to the American transcontinental
lines by any subsidy or traffic agree
ment, the Southern Pacific can never
again bind the commerce of the
State in the kind of shackles it has
used SO mercilessly in the past. 1t
can never put rates up to the point
reached when the Pacific Mail and
the clipper lines We're controlled by
its subsidies, and the merchants
were cowed by its apparently bound
less power-S. f. Examiner.

THE ALEXANDRINE ARRIVES
She Stops for Coal on Her Way to
the Orient.

The German warship Alexan-
drine, Captain Schmidt, arrived
yesterday morning, % days from
Callao, Peru. Like the Arcona she
is on her way to the Orient to as
sist in protecting German interests
at the Asiatic station. She is
about the same build as the Arcona
and carries a similar armament,
and about the same number of men.
She is moored at the mail wharf,
as a convenience, for loading coal.
The Arcona, now in the harbor,
has been confounded with the old
vessel, of the same name, that was
here about twenty years ago. The
old vessel is a thing of the past,
and the ship that now bears her
name is comparatively new one.

THE LABOR SUPPLY.

The question of the labor supply
is again before the planters. There
is some disposition on their part to
regard it as a question for the Gov
eminent to dispose of, while, on
the other hand, the Government is
disposed to regard it as a ques-
ton which mainly concerns the
planters.
The planters are not making
sugar for the fun of it. If they can
make cheap sugar by employing
the labor of apes, or of African pig
mics, or if they could find race of
skeleton men, or fat women, such
as are usually found in dime mu-
seums, who would cheaper the
labor market, they would, as a rule,
employ them. Commercial men,
as a rule, look for profits, and
the noralists, who preach of right
living, and the mechanics who do
not love the planters, would, if they
became planters, take the same
very practical views Of things.
On the other hand, the Govern
ment being bound to consider the
general good of all, must have some
regard for the character of the peo-
pie who are to make up the popula,
ton of the islands, and it must look
beyond the mere question of cheap
labor. There is an apparent, but
not any real conflict, between the
planters and the Government, for,
what is for the good of all is, in
the long run, good for the planter.
When the Government looks to
the character of the immigrant,
and not especially to the cheap
ness of his labor, it j. q national
matter, and the examination of the
question should be made at the
expense of the nation. If the ex-
animation is merely confined to
the question of cheap labor, which
brings in only a money profit to
the planters, then the planters
should share. if they should not
bear, the expense.
The Government can secure. to
some extent, immigration of a su-
perior class of men, who would
greatly benefit the country, but
would furnish no field laborers.
To do this would not help the
planters. If it turns aside from

WILL IT BE A BARBARIC WAR?

The existing war between China
and Japan will be watched with
unusual interest by the civilized
nations. Will it be a barbaric war
| in which no prisoners are taken
and no quarter given?
The japanese have adopted the
amenities and methods of the
Western nations, and should, in
this respect, command their SYM
pathy.
The circumstances attending the
sinking Of the Kow Shung, by the
Naniwa, indicate the attitude of the
belligerents. The Chinese officials
refused to surrender to an over
whelming force. Why? Because
they expected that their bodies
would be mutilated, and their ears
and noses cut off, if they did sur
render. They were told by Dane
on the vessel that they would be
treated kindly, but did not believe
it, and preferred to 60 down with
the vessel.
The Chinese governor of For
mosa has, it is said, offered money
for the heads of japanese.
The japanese will not stand bar
barrie warfare very long, and, in re-
taliation may be compelled to pur-
sue the same cruel methods. What
other course can they pursue?
During the Tapping rebellion, in
China, one of the inland cities Of
fered to surrender to General Ii
Hung, Chang, and to General Cor
don, provided the lives of the peo-
pie were spared. The terms were
accepted, out, after the surrender,
General Lii beheaded many thou
sands Of them, on the ground that
no agreement made with rebels and
traitors was binding in morals and
law. General Gordon remonstra-
led, resigned, and left the service.
Whether General Ii will pursue
the same policy towards the Japan
ese remains to be seen. Public
sentiment, in China, may force him |
to slaughter or torture his pris-
oners. If so, the japanese will be
forced to retaliate, unless the West
ern nations interfere in the inter-
ests of humanity. In any event,
we may expect savage warfare in
the early stages of the conflict.

HAWAII'S EXAMPLE.

The Japan Weekly Mail, in an
article on the reformation of adj
ministration in Korea, cites the
views of a japanese paper, the
Nichi Nichi, as follows: "What is
required in Korea is not the per-
lection of official organization, but
a thorough reform of the spirit of
the administration. The Korean
statesmen and their Japanese ad-
visers are referred to the example
of the revolution in Hawaii. The
Hawaiian statesmen are very prac-
teal, and they divided the bust
ness of the country into few de,
partments only"
We have already said, and shall
repeat it, that Hawaii, through its
patriotic and far-seeing men, has
before it a mission of transcendent
Importance, that of making a con-
Meeting link between the new CIV
ilization and the old that of hold
ing up at this gateway to the
Orient, the torchlight of good
Anglo-Saxon civilization.

SOLEMN THOUGHTS.

a correspondent of the Holo-
mua insists that it is the solemn
truth, that the revolution was
made by "Thurston and his part
ner, the devil" This is, perhaps,
true. 1t was a case in which
things became so desperately bad
that even the devil turned and
worked for reform. 1t was the
devil, thank him, who furnished,
the liquors which fixed up those
"drunks," who according to Mr.
Bush, were behind the Queens cab
met and Marshal Wilson, on jan
uary 18th, and wouldn't, because
they couldn't, suppress the revolu-
tionists. 1t is said that the part
nership between Mr.. Thurston and
the devil was dissolved. But
as President Cleveland has recog-
nized the Republic, and according
to Mr.. Bush, that is devilish act,
it is quite certain that it is not dis
solved.

THE Samoan protectorate estab'
lished by Germany and the United
States shows the Ignorance
of American statesmen in the
management of foreign affairs.
Great Britain would never, if ask
ed, involve herself in such fix as
the Washington Government has
gotten into, because her experience
in such matters would have kept
her shy Of such dangerous affairs.
AS it stands, the United States are
spending a lot of money for the
benefit of a German trading house,
and getting nothing in return-not
even decent respect for the flag.
The executive of a great nation is
in q hopeless muddle about it. The
agreement made between Germany
and the United States was based,
not on the actual facts, but on
what the contracting statesmen as
sumed the facts to be, and were
sadly led astray. The failure of
American diplomacy in Samoa,
does not especially help the cause
of Hawaiian annexation.

the question of good immigration,
and helps the planters to secure
cheap labor, it certainly is the duty
of the latter to share the expense of
doing it.
There should be no quibbling
about the matter. Sugar planting is
fortunately, or unfortunately, the
basis of prosperity here, and, until
we have diversified industries, it
must be the important question be-
fore US, and its needs must be pro-
vided for.

A NEW CONSCIENCE.

At last, another attempt will b.
made, tonight, to arouse the con
science of the community on the
subject of cruelty to animals. Tha'
is to say, people who believe il
the deed, and not in the creed,
will sound the cry of humanity
towards dumb animals, and cali fol
recruits for another fight against
their ill-treatment.
Though God has written across
every lava bed, and Iettered every
cliff, and imprinted on the green
sward of every valley in these isl
ands His words, that "a merciful
man is merciful to his beast" it
still remains the history and dis
grace of evangelization and civiliz-
alton here, that this implied COM
mand has been grossly disregarded,
and the Author of it treated as if
He did not know what he was
talking about; as if He did not
count the fall of every sparrow, and
hear the cry of every suffering ami
NAL.
For half century, cruelty to
animals, in these islands, has been
widespread, fragrant and most in
iquitous. Visitors here notice it,
and residents speak of it with sor-
row. Many of the white people
treat their own animals with the
utmost consideration, but the con-
science of the community is as
dead on the subject as that of the
Chinese on infanticide.
The churches have faithfully
looked after mems souls, but over
looked the fact that soul spotted
with cruelty to animals needs a
deal of washing before it can get
into Heaven.
Sermons are preached on the
good Samaritan, while the COM
munity pass by the patient beasts
with their large kindly eyes, stand
ing hungry and thirsty in the street,
and in barren pasture, and it never
their dumb lips, always
;peechless in their distress. AS a
community, we are as little affect
ID by the sights of these suffering /
as the attendants are,
Who handle with grotesque humor |
he dead bodies Of the morgues.
So long as these daily crimes
Igainst justice and humanity are
before our eyes, it is
die to establish "Jellaby Halls"
IL which grand schemes for the
of remote heather are
or to send Morning
stars" to save distant souls, when
ur own are in peril, and what is
worse, the souls of our children are
made brutal by the sight of unne
essary animal suffering, just as
he SpanIards are made brutal by
he bull fights.

nails will please attend the meet ]

THE New York Herald pnblishe

THE New York Herald published
news of the China-Japanese war
in both the Chinese aud Japan
ese languages. This would not
have been done, unless there
really existed a demand for such
publication. The Chinese and
Japanese are quietly settling in

great daily like the Herald speaks
to them in their own languages, is
the best proof that those people are
not to be ignored, and are becom-
ing effective in the community.
