ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
10 see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary TO journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrosSing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly a fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

! Greenhut's administration Of the trust s
affairs. 1t is a long lane that has no
turning, and now the obscure whisky
salesman is president of the trust and
Greenhut has been deposed as president
and expelled from the board Of direct
ors. Samuel NJ. Rice is a resident of
New York city. Three years ago he be
gan his fight against Greenhut and the
trust itself by distributing the product
Of antitrust distilleries.
Greenhut's famous rebate system, de
signed to compel distributors to buy
their spirits exclusively from the trust
was then in very successful operation
but Rice succeeded in getting a great
deal Of business away from the trust.
Greenhut scorned Rice as unworthy of
his notice, but Rice 5 success in fighting
the trust attracted the attention of the
eastern stockholders, who We're already
wishing TO Dust Greenhut. and when
the reorganization committee was form
ed Rice was asked to become its bust
ness adviser. He did so, and it is large
" due to his efforts that Greenhut has
been turned down and out.
Mr.. Rice belongs TO q family of fight
ers and reformers. His brother, Isaac NJ.
Rice, n New York lawyer, led the fight
against the old management of the
Reading railway, and another brother,
Joseph Rice, abandoned his profession
because he thought the public school
system of the country needed reforming.
He devoted Il great deal of time and
money TO the study of the public school
systems of Europe, and we'll loaded and

and started on a lecture tour, showing
up the alleged weaknesses of our school

matter of opinion, but that he believes
he is right is pretty well demonstrated
by the fact that he devotes his time and
his income TO the business of school re
form without receiving a cent for his
work.

OPINION OF THE COURT BY CIRCUIT JUDGE
COOPER.

COOfEh-
The plaintiff claims to be entitled
TO the possession of the Ahupuaa OF
Keel /, South Kona, Hawaii, under a
lease from the Trustees OF Mrs. 3. p
Bishop, deceased.
As it is admitted by the parties
that the fee of the Ahupuaa is vested
In the Trustees of Mrs. Bishop, and
the lease from the Trustees of her
estate TO the plaintiff shows conclu-
sively that he is the sole lessee of the
land, and the defendants having
claimed title from the same source,
we must hold that he has successfully
derained his title.
The principal contention on the
part of the defendants is that there
has been no custer; that they simply
claim a right of entry upon the land
for the purpose of picking the coffee
crops, and consequently the plaintiff
cannot recover In an action of eject
rnent, but should have sought his
remedy In trespass if he disputed the
right of defendants.
The evidence shows that the plain
tiff having obtained a lease of the
land IN question, made an arrange
ment with hui of some 80 persons,
of which he was a member, by which
they cultivated the coffee lands and
harvested or sold the crop, and
divided the proceeds among them
selves equally. after deducting neces-
sary expenses and the rent of the
land, which was at the rate of $500
per annum, the plaintiff receiving
-L
Der of the hui. After two crops had
been disposed of the plaintiff had
trouble with members of the hui and
forbade them to enter upon the land,
but some of the members, including
the defendants, again entered upon
the land and did some work upon it,
at the same time denying the plain
tiff's right to possession. The plain
tiff told them to quit working but
they still continued and appointed
luna over his head.
This we think constituted an
custer on the part of the defendants
and the plaintiff was correct In bring
ing his action in ejectment, and
further, In our opinion Section 1929
of the Civil Code, would permit the
plaintiff to bring his action In eject
ment although the defendants were
not in continuous possession. None
of the parties lived on the land nor
were there any houses upon it.
IL the defendants did not claim
the right of possession they should
have filed disclaimer, but instead of
that they relied upon general
denial
If the defendants worked upon
the land and have not participated
in the profits to the extent that would
be just to them, that would be the
subject of another action but does
not constitute defense in this one
In our opinion the findings and
Judgment of the Circuit Court should
be affirmed.
Messrs. Carter & Kinney for plain
tiff; Z. johnson for defendants.

THE MATTER OF WAR.

The excitement which prevailedIlast
week in regard to war with England
has somewhat subsidized. When the
cost in blood and treasure is consid-
cred, no one on either side of the
water would care to plunge these two
powerful nations into war. The cause
must be more grave than the present
one to make war necessary. Ameri-
cans are wont to rate their proweSs
very high, and it is probable that at
this time, as in the past, we should be
able to defeat, under equal advanta
ges the British forces; but there are
many things in which our antagonist
would have superior advantages.
When we consider that the British
have a navy six times as large as
ours, whatever might be our fighting
valor, we could not overcome the
difference in number of ships or of
armament.
The great modern engines of war of
which England possesses SO large a
number, in spite of our best fighting
energies, would be able to do great
damage to the cities of our coasts,eX
posed as many of them are. The
capture of many of these would not
mean defeat by any means, but
tremendous loss would result-a loss
that this country cannot afford to
make for sentiment, or for any cause
except tlse most grave.
On the other hand our navies and
cruisers, which might be fitted out in
short notice, and privateers might
drive British commerce from the high
seas; and some of our strongest ships
might sail into British ports, doing
damage that could not be estimated.
All this would be the result of war on
the sea. Then there would be the
capture of Canada and whatever loss
there would be to England in this, ,and
yet the war might go on, nobody
foreseeing the end. We have no doubt
that the United States would triumph,
result to anybody. The prosperity of
England has been the prosperity of
the United States; SO has been the
prosperity of America to England.
common interests that what helps or
hurts one helps or hurts the other.
There will be no war because it can
not be afforded by either country.

The report is again that the Turkish
forces have captured Zeitoun, the
Armenian town, taken possession of
by certain plucky Armenian rebels
against Turkey, and that all the Ar
menians who did not escape to the
mountains have been massacred. 1t
is not stated what proportion sought
mountain protection, but probably no
large one. The statement, while it
may not be literally true, illustrates
the peculiar character of the warfare
carried on between these clashing
religionists. Literary men and artistic
people may bear testimony to the end
of time to the amiable qualities of the
Turks, but the fact remains that these
amiable qualities are exhibited only
to people who do not antagonize them
in religious matters, or for whose ca
pacity to strike back they have
wholesome respect. In the religious
kind of warfare they are relentless.
Possibly the Armeni ans would be
equally SO in positions of advantage,
but that only aggravates the atrocity
of the whole situation.

ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

1t is a striking tribute to the force
of Christianity that December 25th,
the memory of the infant of Bethle-
hem is revered by more peoples and
has praises sung in more tongues
than have united in the praise and
the worship of any other man of his
tory. It is true that there are millions
upon millions that do not keep Christ
mas; but among those millions there
is nothing that approaches the rever-
ent, holy joy of Christmastide.
On this day more than any other
the element of love in Christianity is
most evident. There are other great
feasts of the Christian year, some of
which are generally celebrated by
certain sects Of the great Christian
fellowship; but Christmas day is the
day that appeals more forcibly
than any other to all classes and all
creeds in the great body of Christians.
1t is true that Christmas is pervert-
ed among the selfish and greedy, just
as religion and piety and justice are
perverted; but the great power of
this bright, gladstone, glorious, holy
feast is that even among those who
bear the names of selfish and greedy,
the Christmas spirit sometimes finds
entrance. The great power of love,
above and beyond that right of JUS
tice, of truth, is manifest in this on
Christmas day as it has been ever
since the star of Bethlehem shone-

The divorce laws of Vermont need
a pretty effectual overhauling. No
more important piece of legislation
could possibly be attended to next
year. AS the law stands o-day it
| appears to be an easy matter for Ell
| ther party from the solemn marriage
vows to break away. An outrageous
feature of the law and one which is
probably responsible for many di-
vorces, is that the plaintiff is free to
marry again at his or her own sweet
will. The plaintiff may marry again
within an hour after the court has
granted legal separation. The pc
culiar conditions of Vermo mont's present
divorce laws had striking illustra-
ton in Washington county very re-
Gently. About year since woman
attempted to get divorce from her
husband; the husband objected be-
cause he had an eye to another mat
rimonial alliance-but that wasn't the
reason given by the able lawyer who
represented the defendant and won
the case for him. At the next term
of court the former defendant became
the plaintiff for a legal separation;
the wife made no contest and the man
was granted legal separation with a
neatness and dispatch only excelled
bv the promptness with which he
again became benedict-less than

and marriage. Such a performance
is neither calculated to promote God

MORE BONDS.

j. Pierpont Morgan's visit to Wash
ington has resulted in an understand
ing with the Administration that the
next sale of bonds for the restoration
of the gold reserve will be $4,000 900.
There will be no contract to maintain
the reserve for any given period, but
simply the exchange of SO much gold
for per cent. bonds redeemable in
thirty years at premium to net the
holder per cent. interest
The formalities of this agreem snt
have not been putinto writing. Meth
er is it stipulated where the gold shall
come from. The experience of the
last syndicate operation was sufficient
to demonstrate the fact that the re-
serve could not be protected against
the heavy exchange demands for i'm
ports under the Wilson German
tariff law, and also that the agreement
to procure half of the supply of gold
abroad was impossible for fulfillment.
When the proposed increase of the
National debt will be made will de-
pend upon circumstances, but it is not
far off. The President has reached
the conclusion that the revenue bill
which the House will pass on Thurs
day, together with the bond bill for
the protection of the reserve and the
issue of emergency certificates. can
not be enacted in time to be of use for
his purpose. Indeed, the President
has decided that the chances of legis-
Iation are so remote that he is com

CONGRESS.

President Cleveland having come to
see that the country's finances were
in deplorable condition, was COM
PEELED to issue a special message,
which showed that the, sup
posed to be, courageous man was in
great state of alarm. He piteously
appealed to congress for help, and
the republican house has taken the
matter in hand and has already pass
ed bill and sent it to the senate
which increases the tariff on wool so
per cent on certain classes above the
sum fixed by the bill of 1890, and
makes an increase on other schedules.
An increase is also made on i'm
ported woolen goods, carpets and
other things, including lumber, Oh
which sixty per cent of the Mckinley
duties are to be replaced. These ad-
ditions to the tariff are hoped to SO
increase the revenues that govern
ment incomes are expected to meet
expenses and prevent a futher in
crease of the national debt. The pro-
tective feature of the bill will help
farmers, lumbermen and manufact-
urers to some extent. The bill is
considered to be only temporary and
as an emergency act will help the
country out of it's present shortage in
the pocket of the treasury.
AS further provision to help tide
over the present difficulties q bond
bill has been prepared, which will pass
the house and may go through the
senate. The DILL gives the Treasurer
authority to issue three per cent
bonds, which shall run five years, in
terest and principal payable in gold.
To provide for any temporary def
cheney which shall arise, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is empowered to
issue certificates of Indebtedness of
the United States, to an amount not
to exceed $4,000, ,O00; these certifi-
Gates to bear three per cent interest
and to be payable within three years.
