UNLESS MIR. Joaquin Miller, who
has just returned from Hawaii, be IN
dulging his poetic fancy, the sooner the
people of that country rise in their
might and drive the piratical tilibusters
who have seized and hold their gov
eminent. into the sea, the better it will
be for them. 1t will be better for those
ofthis country also, flor %retribution over
takes nations as well as individuals,
and all tho trouble that has come up
on Hawaii may be justly attributed to
the assistance afforded the flibusters
referred to by the armed forces OF the
United States. President Cleveland's
intention to right that great wrong,
done by his predecessor, was worthy OF
a democratic President, but his spine
gave way at the critical moment.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAR. 90, 1885.

Mr.. HURST, who was appointed con-
sui at Prague, Bohemia, yesterday was
promoted from a less lucrative consu.
late to which President Harrison mad
appointed him. President Cleveland is
set in his ways, and still acts upon the
mistaken idea that republicans NIL the
offices at his disposal more efficiently
than members of the party that elected
him. But, perhaps, those are right VINO
saw that Mr.. Cleveland really believes
that he was not elected by the demo-
cratic party, but by the people Of the
country, irrespective of political afhlla-
ton. and that he distributes the offices
of the government accordingly. Inc
Prague consulate is worth not less than
$4,000 a year, and among the appll-
cants for it were several competent, life
long and true blue democrats.

A TROLLEY DISASTER.
A Broken Brake Rod Lets a Crowded Car

A Broken Brake Rod Lets Crowded Car
Dash Down a Long Hill.
Three persons we're killed outright and
nine others injured by runaway trolley car
on the West End Electric Line jumping the
track and going over an embanxment at
Pittsburg. Penn. Those killed were: Frederick
Heisel. aged fifty-hve. glassworker, OF Car
negie. Penn; George Rothmann, aged htty,
furniture dealer, Carnegie, Penn; unknown
woman, about thirty years OF age.
Just before the city limit is reached there
Is a sharp curve and hill along the track Tor
about quarter Of mile. When the car
reached this point the brake rod broke and
the motorman lost control. The car dasheo
down the hill until 1t reached Mccartney
street, where there Is sharp curve. Here IL
jumped the track and turned completely
over landing in a ravine alongside Of the
road. The car was broken into splinters,
and the three persons killed were horribly
mangled. Just before the car jumped the
track Conductor Mcclure yelled at the pas
senpers to fall down at the bottom OF the
car. Before they obeyed the order Mrs.
Foley dropped her young daughter Katie out
OF car window and probably saved the
child's life.
When he could extricate himself from the
wreck Mcclure, who was badly injured MIN
self. rushed to the houses OF several resi-.
dents in the vicinity and secured several
axes and other assistance. AS soon as pos,
sible the city ambulances were called and
all care possible renderedthe injured pass
engers. There were sixteen PASSENGERS on
the car when 1t left Carnegie. suburb OF
Pittsburg. Two got of just before the nil
where the accident occurred was reached:
and three boys jumped before the car leaped
the track and wero, perhaps. not injured.

.sThe Children OF SIlence.v

A class Of deaf mute children is to
be taken from an institution in Phila-
delphia to Atlanta, that visitors to the
exposition may be shown the progress
possible to those deprived of the usual
means of acquiring elementary knowl-
edge. Patience and sympathy have
done much to open up the paths Of
knowledge to this class of people, once
shut out in places OF ignorance. To
the student of mind and expression,
this subject of teaching deaf mutes to
understand and to convey ideas is 9
most interesting one. y
The "children of silence" as they
have been most touchingly named, ap-
peal to US in o peculiar way, and ne
are grateful that it has been put into
the minds and hearts Of able persons
to do something toward shedding
light in darkness. When We realize
how much a little child learns from
hearing from parent and nurse long
before he in turn can speak the words,
we can better appreciate the great
lack of the poor little ones who can.
not hear. ..
A young man, deaf mute, whose
education had long been neglected,
was finally entered at one Of the State
institutions, and soon was highly in.
terested to learn that every one has
name. In q short time his father
came to see him, and the sons first in.
quiry was "What is your name?" The
poor man was quite overcome at the
fresh realization of how many simple
things had been entirely unknown to
his unfortunate and neglected child

ROAD TO HAVE A SINGLE RAIL.
Novel PROF ect for Line on the Canadian
Border.

Novel PROF ect for a Line on the Canadian
Border.
William E. Seeley, a resident Of Brainerd,
MINI. but now in the Rainy Lake gold coun-
try, has in process Of completion project
to build railroad from Tower to Rainy
Lake CITY, on the Canadian border, over
route which an ordinary railroad could
scarcely be run. But the road planned by
Mr.. Seeley will not be an ordinary one in
any sense of the word. and his plans and
specifications are already attracting consid-
erable attention from railroad men and ma
chinists generally.
The track of Mr.. Seeley's road will consist
of single rail instead OF two, and the pa
pers of the West are already referring to
il ss the one-legged road. The great advan-
taoe claimed for this road Is its cheapness, it
costing less than one-halt as much as a reg
ular double track, standard gauge road to
construct and operate. A row OF piling Is
driven, and the single rail is laid on top OF
this piling, seven or eight feet from the
ground. The cars are to be constructed 80
that the floor is about five feet below the
level OF the rail, and each side OF the cars
will be loaded as nearly equally as possibly.
80 that the vehicle will ride easily and
smoothly.
That the cars cannot be upset will be seen
at a glance, as the weight in them will be
below the rail. The piles are to be set ten
or twelve feet auart, and will be capped with
heavy wooden beans, upon which the single
rail will rest. It Is claimed by Mr.. Sseley
that such road has already been operated
successfully, and that he has demonstrated
by models that the plan will be success IN
this case. One OF the great needs Of the
northern part OF Minnesota Is a arailroa1 from
Tower to Rainy Lake City, and the residents
Of those places are more than enthusiastic
over the proposed line

A Telltale Chart.

A naval engineer of Hamburg, John
Paul, has invented an apparatus re.
cordIng graphically the course of
ship during the entire voyage. Upon
a strip of paper the angles of the rud.
der in relation to the longitudinal axis
of the ship and the relation of the
magnetic needle of the compass to the
axis of the ship are continually re"
corded. The paper is moved along by
clockwork, while the recording pencil
receives its motion by means OF elec-
tro magnets connected by wire with
the ships compass and steering en-
gine. The recording instrument,
working automatically, may be shut
off so as to be inaccessible to any but
the captain, and such record would
doubtlessly furnish the most satisfac-
tory evidence of the ships course dur
ing the entire voyage. With the auto.
matte register of revolutions of the
propeller and cf knots travelled, previ-
ously patented by the same inventor,
the entire maneuvering OF ship dur
ing a given time or an entire trip may
be critically inspected by the ships
owners or the captain. New Orleans

Whining Children.

DIR. Mary Wood Allen writing in
Womankind of breaking children Of.
the habit Of whining says: '.In this.
case, should say, that the first thing
to do is to secure the cordial co.opera-
tion of every other adult member OF
the family. Let there be united pur-
pose never to give to the child that for
which he whines, even if it would be-
given to him otherwise. Give him to
understand this in firm but gentle
way, and if possible secure his ap.
proval of the idea. Tell him kindly
Of the evil OF the habit, the unhappi-z
ness it causes him and every one else,
show him that it is creating q habit
for the future years and tell him you;
all going to help him to overcome it.
Let him feel that your refusal to grant
his whining requests are to aid him.,
not to punish him. Then steadily,
persistently, sweetly and firmly, ad.
here to this policy. Never once yield.
to his insistence, but always recognize
his attempt to meet your wishes in e
pleasant manner IS
If the thing he wants is something
he should not have, tell him 30, and
assure him that no amount of whining
will secure it, and then let him whine.
Wait, don't scold, don't tantalize,
don't appear to be either disturbed or
moved by his whining. If what he de-.
sires is something he can have, and he
whines for it, assure him that as soon
as he asks pleasantly he can have it,
and then give him time to make up
his mind to be pleasant. We are too
apt to try to drive our children rapid
ly from one frame of mind to another
Wait patiently, and if possible help
him by diverting his thoughts to some
thing agreeable. In q few minutes he
will probably get control OF himself.
1t is often o very touching sight to
witness the efforts OF children to gain
self.control, sometimes under the
stings OF the tantslizing reproaches OF
their elders. 4
