tanned, will kill the conscience and
ruin the morals of him who swallows it.
The right of choice which every free
American citizen ought to enjoy plays
it's part In politics and candidates with
me. AS never expect TO run for office
or offer for place, | will say what |
please, vote for whom please, pray for
whom please and kick the fur off Of
all the balance.
There is consolation in the fact that
If you please to do right and do IL, you
keep in harmony with your conscience
and on good terms with yourself, and
really, the more see of politicians
the worse get stuck on myself, and
the more ! see of the present congress
the more am stuck ON Grover Cleve-
land.
AS Mr.. Oates saysi "What are you
going TO do about it?' There is but
one thing to be done. Let's come back
to first principles. Read and think
and resolve upon right lines and wise
courses; then, with pure ballot box
and decent candidates, snow under the
gang and pitch in to rid our country of
the rascals, and put men In office who
are as incorruptible and as unpurchas.
able as Grover Cleveland. Then, and
not until then, win we have wise laws,
and faithful administration of the
laws and peace and prosperity from
ocean to ocean.
l believe the day has come and now
is, when the ministers of our country
from every pulpit ought to sound the
alarm and preach and talk on the line
of political purity, on right and duty,
on conteutment and industry, faith
and frugality, and the preacher who
satisfies his conscience on any lower
plane than this, however much he may
do for the church, is doing very little
to rectify the evils among his fellow
men and to run the devil out of this
land. Yours truly, SAM JONES.

HOW JAKEY DIED.


Low Life.
Eight or ten newsboys and bootblacks
stood on a downtown corner listening
with open mouths and bullying eyes to
the narrative of "Limpy" Ferguson.
He said:
1t was between Saturday night and
Sunday mornin'. | wud NV told yer

Well, he stood on his corner, a-shiv-
erin and a-shakin' when l comes along
goin' to de show and he SEE:
'Limpy, I'm awful tired, and l don't
know how to walk any more"
walked up to him and takes hold
av him, and jumped back like when
put my clamps on his arm.
1t wuz just like taking hold of gas
fixture done up in a rag-no meat on
him at all; and he looked at me savage
like, kinder as if his eyes kim up from
his boots. Well, ! stud him off to one
side, and then SEE l to meself: "Dis ere
kid has got ter go home, and must do
it fur him."
So l shoulders him and started off
lively, thinking wud get him home
and then take de cable cars down town
and go to de show yet.

''Brace up. JalSey!'' and, 'We.u soon

Well, when l got him to his house his
old mother kim out and say: "Whatl
l: Nom. Jakey's just tired and sick

Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS or
THE HAWAIIAN. ISLANDS.

The attention of Planters
and Agents is called to the
following letter from Mr..
JOHN A. SCOTT, 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, HLo, HAWAII,
January 22d, 1S94.l
Hon. VIM. q. IRWIN, Honolulu, II. /.
DEAR SIR:-In reply TO yours Of Il
10Th inst regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
would beg 10 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 it is givii me the
greatest satisfaction. The more | see of
its capabilities, the better pleased L ann
that put it in, as | am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in short
time, in saving OF labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease. and it could shred o much larger
quantity if necessary. II delivers the
shredded cane In an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives it
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
liability 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 4 to
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 it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder andth
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 cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining u uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have a call from
parties interested, as it is necessary TO
see the machine at work to FULLY appre-
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,
(Sig.) JOHN A. SCOTT.

MAI. JOHN E. WINDER.

1t is with regret that we note the
retirement of Maj. Winder from the
Seaboard Air Line lstcm Of railways.
He has rendered his resignation as
vice-presdent and it has been accepted,
Mr.. +. St. John, late OF the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railroad sue
Ceedng him. 1t has been MAJ,
Winder's wish and purpose for some
time TO relinquish his position, and we
understand he rendered his resignation
several months ago, but acceptance
was delayed until he again pressed the
matter. The friends of Maj. Winder
and of the roads for which he has done
SO much will sincerely regret this
voluntary action on his part.
He is one of the ablest railroad men
in the country, and his distinguished
personality was an important factor in
the growth and development Of the
great system with which his name has
been so long connected. But for him
we are quite sure the Durham x
Northern road would never have been
built, and the same may be said OF
other interests of the kind. The
people had confidence i'll Maj. Winder.
They believed what he said and trusted
in his judgment and ability. Where
he led they were willing to follow.
In the retirement of Maj. Wlnder
not only has the roads of which he has
been recognized as the central figure,
the controlling spirit, sustained great
loss, but the State as well. In him the
employees from the lowest 10 the
highest in position had a warm irleLd
and honored superior officer and the
people along his lines one whom they
always felt regarded their interc-ls as
his own, and who did what he could &c
promote and foster their welfare at al
times. 1t speaks well for the character
fitness, Justice and big heart of a MAJ!
when he retires from such high anC
responsible position with the hlghes
respect and best wishes OF everybOd,
when there is general regret insteac
of rejoicing-a feeling like unto the
loss of friend instead of satisfaction
at his going. But this is exactly wha
might have been expected in TIL
present instance by those who know
Maj. Winder.
The GOLD LEAF unites with host
of friends throughout this and adjoin
ing States, in wishing for him that h
may enjoy to the fullest extent tn
rest and repose which he seeks, bu
will welcome his return to active If
again in the particular line for which h
is by native ability, long experlenc
and conscientious work so emnentl
fitted. And we predict that Ma
Winder will not be permitted to re
main long in retirement if he can b
persuaded to the contrary. There
need of his services and there will /
demand for them we doubt not.

COMPETITION In TRADE.
The Town That Offers the Best Facili,,
ties Gets the Business.

Says an exchange: To the average
mind it seems that two towns with
equal natural advantages and in the
same territory should divide the bust
ness of the surrounding country and
grow in wealth and Importance at about
the same ratio. Yet how seldom is
this true in fact, We see one gradually
advancing, reaching out, developing,
while the other, if it progresses at all,
does so in haphazard manner and is
soon left far III the rear. Why is this
| so: There is a reason for it, and it is
readily explained. The first town looks
| for business, is on the hunt for it all
the time the other sits down and waits
| for it to come.
The first town is up anG hustliug
while the second is asleep. The former
offers every inducement to the outlying
| farms and villages to come and do
business with it. The latter says ::
1--WE are here. If you want anything
we've got. why. come here, and We'll
talk with YOU AS natural conse-
quence, trade goes where it is wanted,
where the people are busy, where money
is in sight and to be had if something
of value can be offered in exchange.
And so it goes. The live town bustles
and strives and in time becomes a city,
while the other-it just stays sleepy
old town.
This is no fancy picture, and the
counterpart of the two towns may be
seen in many fertile valley, the one
rich and teeming with industry, the
other with grass grown streets and air
of general debility. and as time goes on
the difference will be greater and
greater until soon there will be no
thought Of comparing the two. They
are not in the same class.
The thought may arise that the pros
porous community was fortunate in
having no serious rival, but experience
proves that such is not the fact. Will
a rival town working hard and contest.
ing every point, the inhabitants of botn
would be kept Oh theirmettle, and both
would profit by the stimulus which &C.
tive competition gives. The energy
which would be called out, the thinking
and planningas to how BUSINESS might
be developed by offering better facilities
than its neighbor. would be certain tC
rebound to the good of both. The
result could but have been increased
as we'll as to the country surrounding
to which their rivalry could not but b'
of great benefit.
