IMPORTED ARrSTOCRACY.
Well.tO.dO Foreigners Generally Anti-DemO-

servstive and anti. democratic (of course,
l use the word democratic in its proper
sense, and not as party dsslgnatiOn). /
fell in with one Of the former, evidently
Of scandinavian stock, some time since
in travelling on the cars IN Kansas, and
from his loose and ready tongue took
him for a drummer, or, more properly
speaking, q commercial agent. But ss
he showed his well-used pass to the con-
duCtor, it occurred TO me that he was Q
railroad man, and / 80 intimsted to him.
"No," said he, ~ am president OF q
college in the interior OF the state, "
when I expressed my surprise that he
was 90 open and pronounced in his polit-
ical views, for he showed himself q RAM
pant Rdherent Of the old republican
dynasty Of the state and an obvious
proselytsr in its interest.
I suggested that it wasn't usual for
educational officers and professors to be-
come active pRrtisanB and much less
whoopers-up in the Esnks-thRt the two
didn't 60 together, and, it was generally
taken for granted, wouldn't work well
together. But he fell back on his right
TO vent his sentiments here aud else
where, publicly and aloud, whether
others like them or not. In this he re-
minded me OF the reply Of Horace
Greeley TO an opponent who affected to
take offsnse at his (Horsce's) denial Of
his right to his opinion, and asserted his
constitutional right to hold, 90 he did,
where the issue was only one Of pros
perity; and the old editor answered:
"Oh, yes, yes; everyone has a constitu-
tionRI right to bs q id fool in this
country" But, Of course, I didn't quote
it as applicable to the present case.
Such was my new.mRds acquaintance;
not only positive, but vivid, and posted
in most Of the small points and plsti-
tudes Of the party in this state. He
knew little Of the political history Of the
country, and cared less. Indeed, q
Swedish neighboring farmer of mine
could instruct him In American history.
He took little interest in general politics,
but confined himself to the affairs Of
Kansas, as il everything, even in these
times, was confined to her limits. And
it seemed to be not 30 much her welfare
either that he was consulting 40 it was
the welfare and success of the republi-
can party OF the state. The latter was
the great desideratum and object to be
sought and evidently constituted the
very yearning Of his soul; 80 that those
who heard him plainly inferred that he
was either q candidate for some position
in the gift Of the party, or else was .
beneficiary Of party legislation or OF the
party treasury. One could see that the
Capital furnished his whole stock in
trade Of argument and assertion; and to
make sure of 1t, he pulled the paper
from his pocket and referred to it as q
political bible.
I may take occasion hereafter to give
the ADVOCATE the drift OF the discus
sion that followed, which was partici-
pSted in by several Of the passengers,
and became instructive, as we'll as in
tenssly interesting; and in which it
might be inVidious for me to say that
the professor, with his Capital, got de-
cidedly Worsted.

tion anti-democrAtiC and contrary to the
spirit Of the age in whiCh we livep Be-
cause the teachings Of history lead In
that direction, and, therefore, make con-
SsrvstiveS and tories. Our government
is an experiment based on the doctrines
OF Christianity, and the two will stand OF
fall together. All previous history
teaches that the people Of the worlG
have not shown themselves hitherto
competent to rule. And besides thu

pGsSu with the selfish instincts Of the
human heart, and leads directly into the
pockets and the Golfers OF che elect.
Therefore, they, together with the
favored Of fortune, believe in govern
ment by class, and that their own class
OF course; and which in the Old World
results in government for a class; for the
powerful few RS against the helpless
many; for the rich at the expense Of the
poor and the tOiler; for the great and
lordly to the sacrifice Of the weak and
lowly.
Jefferson, who had lived abroad and
studied these systems, declared the gov
ernwsnts Of Europe the wolves and the
people the sheep (who wonders at an
srChiSts therO); and he and the fathers
undertook to found and frame Q govern
ment to take care Of the weak and the
lowly. The rich and powerful, said he,
can take care OF themselves. We have
found that 80, and that his government
has failed to accomplish its purpose, the
protection Of the many from tho greed Of
the few, not through any fault Of his,
but from the indifference and apathy Of
the masses to their own interests and the
corruption Of the Office e-holderg and pol

PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS or
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

The attention of Plan srs
and Agents is called to ne
following letter from 6Ir.
JOHN A. SooTT, Manager of
the Hilo Sugar Co, regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
just introduced into the Mill
of that Company:
WAINAKu, Hue, Hawai-,

DEAR SIR:-1n reply to yours OF I'll q
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Go. OF New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
lwould beg to say, that it has now been
IN operation day and night during the past
three weeks working ON plant cane. and
also hard ratoons, and il is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more see of
its capabilities, the better pleased / ana
that put it in, as | am satisfied that Il
Will repay the original outlay in a short
time, IN saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons of
cane every p hours with the greatest
ease, and 1t could shred much larger
quantity If necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane In an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives il
without the Intervention of any labor.
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
Inability OF broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is a saving of four (4 men daily
on the mill, as only one man is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier TO the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
5 per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit.
as 1t was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane.
while doing better work and more of it
and owing TO the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded. Ane
makes superior fuel. and the fireA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining a uni
iorm pressure of steam than formerly.
viii be pleased to have call from
parties interested, as it is necessary 20
zee the machine at work to fully apu a.
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,
