reason for this is that there
are so many orators, as it were
that it is deemed necessary to
divide the question" IN order
that all may have an opportu-
nifty of being heard. The
sporting specialist is an insti-
tuition in most places. But in
Honolulu we have an athletic
element endowed with mixed
talent. The same names occur
for base ball, foot ball, field
games and rowing. We almost
have the sturdy, old fashioned
all-round athlete. In politics
we have him sure enough.
He can deal out an office, settle
an international dispute or
determine a Constitutional
question with equal facility
and speed. He knows just
how every act should read and
is lavish with his advice and
information. The cemetary
could ill-afford to spare these
wise men, but somehow they
are not greatly missed when
they disappear.
The Monarch is what we
are harping about all the time
and you will see by this column
of ours that we are still at it.
Last week we sold two, one
to deliver when a wheel ar
rives, and the other gentleman
insisted that we take the dis
play bicycle running in our
show window, and if you look
in there now you will see only
his Royal Highness, monarch
of all he surveys. The next
Australia will bring him any
amount of friends to keep hin
company, and until then he
must sigh alone.
AS the only wheels we have
now are two ladies' bicycles,
we will describe them to you
Is it not a trihe selfish fol
gentlemen to ride around on
fast wheels and not ask YOU
wives, daughters and sweet
hearts to 90 with you in these
outings Would they moi
enjoy it as much as any man
Did you ever see a young
lady speeding down the street
'on a bicycle and not envy the
healthful vigor
Make one of your dearest
lady friends a present of whar
we will guarantee she will say
more than "thank you" for.

rae TIDE or THE PAST

Sometimes the troubled tide Of all the past
Upon my spirits trembling strand IL
rolled;
Years never mine-ages an hundredfold,
With all the weight those ages have
amassed
OF human grief and wrong, are on me cast.
Within one sorcerous moment grow old,
And blanch a. one who scarce his way

Upon q verge that takes some hood.tide
vast.
Then comes relief through some dear
common thing:
The voices of the children at their play;
The w,ud-wave through bright mead

The blue-bird skyward call, on happy
wing,
So the sweet present reassumes her
sway;
So lapse the surges Of the monstroua
past.

THE BLACKLIST
An Ohio Judge Hands Down an I'm.
Dsrtant Decision Relating to
Railroad Employees.
Employers nust Not Interfere With an
Employees Right to Seek Other
Employment.

Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 22-Judge Pratt yes
terday rendered decision in demurrer
to the petition in the case of VIM. Addi-
son VS.. the Lake Shore. This action
was brought by the plaintiff May 10, 1894
to recover damages because as he alleges,
he was discharged and blacklisted by the
railroad company because he was forced
by the union to which he belonged to go
out on a strike and was placed on a
grievance committee to confer with the
officials Of the road and that consequent
ly he was unable to obtain a position with
any other railroad. He had been earning
abOuD $120 a month as conductor and
was forced to take a position on the po-
lice force at $50 month. The court
overruled the demurrer of the defendant
to the plaintiffs petition. In reading his
decision Judge Pratt held the employees
right to employment was equal in i'm
portance to the employers right to en-
ploy labor. This right of the employed
stands between the laborer and starva-
ton. The right OF an employer ends
With the discharge Of his employees and he
must not interfere with rights Of labor
Ing men to seek and obtain other en-
ployment. The court held that it was
public interest to encourage men to be-
come proficient in the trade or occupa-
ton which they have taken up. If q
man left one railroad to seek employ
ment at another he had a right to do SO,
II the company sought by combination to
prevent the employe from obtaining work
with other roads, the railroad companies
doing such acts were going beyond their
rights. The court refused to discuss
other points brought up until the case
could be tried on it's merits.

SOME POSTAL FACTS
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FOURTH
ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENER-


AL.
Washington Sept. 24.-The annual re-
port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral Maxwell shows that the number Of
postoffices in operation in the United
States on June 80, 1895, was 10000. Dur
ing the year 2,422 postoffices were estab-
lished and 2,163 discontinued. The total
number of appointments for the year was
1912. During the year the greatest in
crease in the number Of postoffices was
in Oklahoma, SO. Nineteen states show
decrease In the number of postoffices,
the greatest loss occurring in Kansas,
SO; South Carolina losing "A, and Iowa
and West Virginia 50 each. Fifteen 9TH
err states show a loss of from two to 81.
There had been received during the year
59,549 complaints affecting the ordinary
mail, 81 ,849 referring to letters and 27,697
to packages This shows an increase Of
1859 over last year.
Some special classes of cases to which
the inspectors are giving much attention
are those of robberies of postoffices,
burning of postoffices, wrecks of postal
cars and highway robberies Of mail mes
sengers, mail stages and railway postal
cars, and the figures submitted in the
report show that the depredations and
casualties in these classes of cases are
gradually on the increase, although the
increase is not 50 uniform as during the
preceding year. A gratifying decrease
in the number of postoff1ce burglaries is
noted, but highway robbery of mail
trains have grown more bold and now do
not hesitate to ply their vocation in the
older states and near large cities, one of
the most daring Of last years train rob-
berries, the Aquai case, having been COM
mitted within a few miles of the city of
Washington.
Under the head Of foreign cases, the re-
port emphasizes the superiority of the
registration system of the United States
over that of most countries.
During the year there were 2,240 arrests
for offenses against the postal laws, of
which number ITS were postmasters, 40
assistant postmasters, so clerks in postof-
fees, IL railway postoffice clerks 81 letter
carriers, 81 mail carriers, and % were en-
ployed in minor positions in the postal
service.
The concluding pages of the report are
devoted to a series of sketches of i'm
portant cases. Gen. Maxwell uses strong
language in referring to the escape of
Killoran Allen and Russell from Ludlow
street jail, New York, their aprpehen-
sion having been a matter of great i'm
portance to the department.
