THE NEXT MOVE.
Let us have a general quarantine

The large majority of the COM
munity favor that move if carried
out speedily and nationally. Any
measure to stop the further spread
Of the cholera ought to be adopted
at once (even If it carries with it
temporary Inconvenience, If it is
rational, and possibly carries with it
a heavy expense. To risk general
attack of the cholera ravage will
cause more Inconvenience, to say the
least of it, and also much greater
expense.

The Honolulu correspondent to
the New York Sun is highly indig-
nant because Cleveland's administra-
ton has demanded damages for the
illegal arrest of Durrell. The ear
marks of Ssreno Bishop are easily
descernible in the article and his
special argument is truly delightful.
He virtually claims that Durrell,
should have no redress because he
has "kinky" hair--If he had had
recorded mortgage on some kinky
haired kanaka, he would perhaps
been o, K-When the reverend
writer to the Sun uses pitchforks on
horses the question of "kinky" hair
evidently doesn't arise. He puts it
in anyhow.

Here is what the Advertiser states
this morning editorially referring to
an article in The Nation of N. Y.
"The Nation has nothing to say
about the British pirates ami
thieves who govern Jamaica and
refuse to allow its half million of
population any voice in the govern
ment. 1t is only when Hawaii is
in question that it foams at the
mouth, and it feels dreadfully sorry
over the wickedness of some white
people"
We are astonished that travelled
(?) gentleman like w. N. Armstrong
should publish such unmitigated
and absolute falsehoods. Suffrage
in Jamaica is free to all Of any color,
or shade of color. The Legislature
is said to have among its members
OF both houses, more than 80
percent OF what Americans term
"colored'' blood And the Legisa-
ture runs the Government as it does
in all British colonies and countries.
Don't, for the sake of staboing an
opponent, lie again. You only expose
your ignorance.

When this newspaper was started
the name The INDEPENDENT was
judicially and advisably selected, by
the writer's. When that name was
chosen we believed that every
reader would understand the
character of the paper We now
find that whenever we indepen-
IDENTIFY step on the toes of the
government we are called royalist;
and whenever we criticize the oppo-
sitiou we are charged with bribery
and corruption. Gentlemen-and
ladies-of both sides; allow us to
have an Independent opinion and
express it. That is what we are
here for. And we stay by it on
our merits.

There is no business in town. AL
most all storekeepers are willing to
close their places of business for a
week, or ten days if necessary. The
hardship connected with staying at
home ought to be overcome by the
possible reward in the humiliation

can be issued and distributed daily
by the sanitary inspectors, and the
people confined to their homes will
be kept as we'll posted as they now
are when buying The INDEPENDENT.

INDEPENDENT"
LIBRARY OF CoNeREss,l
WASHINGTON, Aug, 8, 1881
Mr.. F. l.. Hooas.
SIR:-Please remove copyright
from the periodical" entitled, "The
Paradise OF the Pacific" edited by
yourself. Books or other articles
published in the Hawaiian Islands
are not lawful subjects of copyright.
The penalty for false claim is one
hundred dollars.
Very respectfully,
A II. SPoFFoRD,
Librarian Of Congress.
Mr.. f. l.. Hoogs.
The above letter was shown to
different people who are inclined to
believe that the Librarian is labor
ing under misrepresentation. The
publisher OF "The Paradise OF the
Pacific" does not claim an Ameri-
can copyright: simply Hawaiian
certificate which has been granted
according to the laws of the country.
If the stand taken by Mr.. Spofford
is tenable, Hawaii has no right to
protect publishers and tbs copy
right laws of the country are void.
This question has never been raised
before and is an interesting one.
The publisher Of THE Paradise"
has written to the Librarian for
additional information on the sub
ject.
1t is evident from the foregoing
that people here do not understand
Mr.. Spofford, or his letter, or its
effect. 1t evidently simply applies
to an application for American copy
right for the periodical referred to.
OF course, such application could
not be granted, nor could the usual
formula copyright applied for" be
allowed to be placed on the periodi-
GAL. Hawaiian copyright exists, as
does the Hawaiian republic and ma
ton, independent of any action of
the U. S. Congress Librarian. And
although the Bulletin styles us "the
(new) Independent" in order to get
a slap at us, we can say that we are
only new" in our methods, and that
our title is "The Independent" And
that we act up to our title irrespec-
tive of who may get hurt.

SENATORIAL CAUCuSES.

Hon. James Mcmillan, of Detroit, the
Unanimous Choi' for the Long Term.
The Republican caucus of the state
legislature to name q candidate for the
long-term senatorship was held in Rep
resentative hall, which was crowde /.
Senator Barnard, of Kent, was chair
man and Clerk Lewis Miller secretary.
McMillan's more intimate friends oc
cup!ed positions near the speaker S
stand, aud were pleased and enthusi-
| astic witnesses Of the compliments
and high houors shOwered upon the
favorite son of the Republican party
in Michigan. The scene was impress.
sive for the party was absolutely 81
one mind in their choice. The mere
routine of deciding upon the candidate
for the long-term senatorship could
have been settled in few moments,
but it was thought fitting by the lead
ers TO compliment their esteemed
chicftain by giving the orators an OPP
portunity. And it was splendid
chance for them, and they certainly
made the most of the occasion. Not
one speech, but many, and various sec
tions of the state were heard from in
the addresses indorsing the nomina-
ton.
Senator Mclaughlin made the nomi-
mating speech. lie began by stating
that the scored rights OF the people
are rcposcd in the senator's upon whom
great responsibility falls. For more
than 100 years the United States SEN
ate has been n cherished institution;
its deliberations have been of a con-
sentative character; its name is syn
onymous with stability. The senate
of the L. ). should be composed
of men of breadth of character,
we'll poised, sound and brainy. Wis
dom is prime factor for good SEN
ator. II was an agreeable duty to
present the name of such a man. 1t
was n name which stood for honesty,
integrity, leadership and wisdom.
Since the days of Zachariah Chan iler
he has been the leader of Republican
ism in Michigan. The wheels of in
dustry sing his praises. While America
is America men of his type will be
respected and honored. Senator Nc
Laughlin then presented the name of
Senator Mcmillan, and the announce
ment was received with the widest
enthusiasm.
William ID. Gordon, speaker of the
house, arose TO support the nomination
of Senator Mcmillan, and objected to
Senator Mclaughlin saying Senator
Mcmillan, of Wayne" IL should be
Senator Mcmillan, of Michigan"
Other seconding speeches were made
by Senators Pratt, of Calhoun; Shaw,
of Newaygo; Preston, of Lapeer; Kill
patrick, of Shiawassee; Jamison, of
Kent, and by Representatives Covell,
of Grand Traverse; Partridge, of
Wayne; Chamberlain, of Gogeb bic;
Waite, of Menominee; Campbell, of
Ingham, and Waldo, of Wayne. A ris-
ing vote was then called for and it was
unanimous. a committee then es-
corted Senator Mcmillan to the plat
form, and after the applause had
ceased he thanked the caucus for the
high honor.
A reception was rendered Senator
Mcmillan at the Hotel Dpwney, and he
in turn gave spread" at the Downey
in the evening.

ship Favorable to the Kalamazoo Man

The Contest for the Short-Term Senator
ship Favorable to the Kalamazoo Man.
The fight To secure the short-term
senatorship of Michigan was the most
holly contested and interesting event
of the opening week of the Michigan
legislature. The candidates were John
Patton, of Kent, who was appointed
by Gov. Rich TO fill the unexpired term
of the late Senator Stockbridge; Hon.
Julius Caesar Burrows. of Kalamazoo,
who has represented his district in the
national house of representatives for
several years with distinguished credit,
and Schuyler ;. Olds, a prominent

from his services as the right hand
man of Gov. Luce.

publican caucus TO order in Repre-
sentative hall, Lansing. Speaker Cor
don, of the house, was made chairman,
and Award secretary.
Senator Barnard, of Kent, opened
the ball for John Patton in strong
speech. Senator Clapp, of Calhoun,
named j. G. Burrows as his choice.
Representative Il. j. Campbell, of Ing
ham, suggested Schuyler =. Odds as the
man for the place.
The upper peninsula at this point
furnished two candidates who had
never had the least chance of winning
Congressman Samuel Stephenson
and Jay A. Hub bell.
Then came storm of sccondine
speeches which would have continued
until every one present had voiced
| their candidates name had not a cal
been made for a vote. The ballotine
was secret and the interest was intense
| until the result was announced as fol-
lows: Burrows, "a; Patton, %; Odds,
| 30; Stephenson, z; Hubbell 5. This
was greeted with tremendous cheers
| Stephenson's name was withdrawn in
| favor of Burrows, and as the first bal
! lot was not decisive second was taken
which resulted: Burrows, 20; Odds, 81
Patton, 25 Hubbell, 4.

c1.OOO,ooO Fire In Toronto.

The most destructive fire ever ex-
perienced by Toronto, Ont, caused a
loss of over 81, 600, 900, and in addition
to loss of property two tiremen were
killed and six received most serious in
iuries, which in all likelihood will
prove fatal TO two or three more. The
center of the fire was the Office of the
Globe newspaper, in the basement of
which it originated and then il crept to
adjoining stores, destroying among
others the dry goods store of Nicholas
Rooney, the new millinery building of
S. +. Mackinnon & Co., the largest and
most magnificently furnished store in
the city; the large building occupied
by Harry Webb; the Toronto Litho-
graphing Co, Brough & Caswell, print
ers and publishers; Haworth q Co. S
betting establishment and others. That
the fire did not consume the entire
center of the city was due TO heavy
snowfall, reaching depth of seven
inches, followed by drizzling, slushy
sleet an hour before the fire began.

The Monongahela and Allegheny
rivers in Pennsylvania were made
IN ghty rushing floods Of uncontroll-
able waters by the January thaws and
rains which have visited that section.
AS a natural consequence the Onio is
also torrent of water carrying de-
struction to the territory along its
course.
In Pennsylvania, however. the most
damage was done, so far. The docks
at McAeesport and the boat bottoms
tied up along the river gave way and
went rushing down the river A num-
Der of streets were submerged and on
the river streets all the families had 20
flee for their lives. Device mill was
damaged $1,000. The Howard Plate
Glass works at Duquesne had to shut
down and the Carnegie steel works are
knocked out, The water is four feet
deep on the main street of Davisburg.
The loss in McKeesport will reach
$4,000, including 50coal barges. Sew
eral coal barges, a house boat and
swinging ferry boat broke from their
moorlngs ut Morgantown, and went
down with the current. The new gov
eminent Golfer dam just below Van
port was swept away causing a big
loss. John Nc sweeney, a stone mason,
who had gone out on the dam TO get
his tools, was caught in the crash and
his body was swept away. JOS. Ledlie
was rescued with much difficulty.
The railroads entering Pittsburg
were nearly all troubled by the high
water. and at Ben Avon and Connells-
vile the Fort Wayne and the Il. * o.
roads were delayed by landslides.
The situation was very alarming at
Yowlerville on the Youghiogheny.
The whole town was submerged and
the citizens in the lower district had
TO leave their homes, several of which
were swept away. Reports from
Dawson, DiclSerson's Run, Banninga
and other towns down the Youghio-
gheny river state that they are at the
mercy of the waters and great damage
is being done. The slope mines along
the river are flooded and work has
been suspended; it will require at least
several weeks TO get the water pumped
out of them.
At Cincinnati the Ohio river rose at
the rate of 1lss inches per hour for IL
hours and after that at the rate of
three inches per hour for IL hours,
reaching % feet inches. The weather
became cooler and checked the rise
which had become very threatening.
