There is an item on the local page
OF this issue with reference to the re-
marks OF Adam Scott OF Virginia upon
the price of hogs. Never were words
truer spoken, or III idea expressed
more pertinent with the facts. For a
farmer to be a democrat or populist
and then sell his hogs for half the price
for the privilege Of receiving such a
disastrous political privilege is moth
ing more nor less than cutting his nose
Otto spite his face. Germany, France
and Spain refuse to buy our hogs.
Why is it? We entered into Il treaty
with them under the Mckinley bill by
which the admittance of our pork was
snapped for the admitiance OF certain
articles into this country free OF duty.
That ubiquitous measure, the Wilson
bill, re%pndiated the treaties and hogs
are 4 drug in the market. Pork Is ~
a barrel. 1t was $i4. Hogs are $3. 80
per hundred, before Reputation they
were ~. Some or you farmers should
keep on voting for populism and de-
m~ocracy--if you wish Il soft seat on a
hard board IN the poor house.

The upspring in Hawaii does not APP
pear to nave been Il serious affair, ex-
cept for those who tried to promote it.
The case with which the attempted
rebellion was put down. and the COM
pletaness with which the government
crusaed the outbreak at Il move and
maintained order throughout the re
public are the best witnesses Of its firm
establishment. 1t is made perfectly
clear that, from the first, the only for
ces in the island capable of governing
have been enlisted on that side Of the
republic; and that, as it was not es-
tablished by foreign intervention, SO
1t Is not to be OverthrowH by native
revolt. This last act OF LiliuOkalani
fits In with her desperate disposition.
1t Is tee same wOman who. when Mr..
Willis proposed to restore her to the
throne, insisted that She must have
the heads or those who had taken sides
against her. Implacnble as ever, she
has fOrmented insurrection under the
very eye OF the government that
treated her with leniency. Ii is quite
probable that the idea OF banishing
her will be carried into effect; and to
exile her cOurteOusly, with Il spo
sihle income, would seem to be the
simplest way of dispos ny OF her. Ha-
waii is too small II place for III element
like this to remnin without producing
constant apprehension and Q or
less frequent disturbance. Now that
the question OF the government Of the
island has been settled permanently,
and the depOsed queen has proved
ta6at she will not accept the situation,
