The ruling of the Supreme Court of
the United States that the Wright r.
rigation Law, a California advanced
enactment is entirely constitutional
is not without interest to Hawaii.
just such a statute may be deemed
essential in promoting and carrying
on the development of this country.
The chief feature of the Wright law
is the division of a state or county into
irrigation districts along the water
ways Then those interested in the
district may issue bonds. The plan S
of Australian origin. 1t facilitates CO.
operation and is a splendid vehicle for
the reclamation and settlement of arid
lands. The time is coming when there
will be in Hawaii a genuine irrigation
boom. Under this method is found the
most satisfactory condition for farm
ing. Droughts are obliterated as n
possibility. In the western States IF
America vast tracts for many years
considered useless have, by improved
irrigation become wealth producing.

The Victor Safe and Lock Co., Gin, ..
Gentlemen am pleased to say the
Victor Safe you sold me some five or
six years ago, preserved intact all of
its contents in the late fire in Green
Vile, on the 10th inst. The safe stood
at a point in my Office in the Opera
House Block, that must have been one
of the hottest parts in the great con-
| fagration. 1t contained papers and
other things of value. When it was
taken out of the ruins and opened
some twelve hours after the fire, every
thing in it was found to be safely pre-
served and in good condition. i cheer
fully make this statement of facts in
recognition of the valuable service
rendered me by your safe, and you
are at liberty to make such use of il
as you may see proper.
Yours truly,

CHAPTER v.
THE CURTAIN FALLS.

Squire Fambrough insisted that his
son should go to the house and look it
over for the sake of old times, and
young Clopton went along to keep Miss
Julia company O'Halloran, Fitzpatrick
and the negro staid where they were
the white men smoking their pipes
and the negro chewing the first man
nyfac" tobacco he had seen in many a
day.
The others were not gone long. As
they came back courier was seen rid
ing through the woods at breakneck
speed, going from the Union lines to
those of the Confederates and carrying
a white q. ;. Fitzpatrick hailed him,
and he drew rein long enough to cry
out as he waved his flag:
lice has surrendered -
IT was lookin out for it, I" said Kill
patrick, "but dang me if hadn t ruther
somebody had "a shot me right spang in
the gizzard.
Lieutenant Clopton took out his pock-
etknife and began to white stick
John Fambrough turned away, and his
sister leaned her hands ON his shoulder
and began to weep. Squire Fambrough
rubbed his chin thoughtfully and sighed
"It had to be, father" the captain
said. Its piece Of news that brings
peace to the land.
"Oh, yes, but it leaves us fiat. No
money and nothin to make crop wi. "
81 have government bonds that will
be worth 100000. The interest will
keep us comfortably.
For my part" said Clopton, 81
have nothing but this free Niger.
"You b'lieve de half er dat" spoke
up the free niger. "Mistiss been savin
her cotton craps, an eff she got one bale
she got 900"
The captain figured moment. "Tbey
will bring more than 500, 000."
81 have me two arrums, said o Hal
loran.
eve got mighty fine pack of fox
hounds" remarked Fitzpatrick, with
real pride.
There was pause in the conversation.
In the distance could be heard the
shouting of the Union soldiers and the
band with its Yankee Doodle, howdy-
do?" Suddenly Clopton turned to Cap
tain Fambrough:
II want to ask you how many troops
have you got over there-fghting men?'
The captain laughed. Then he put his
l. Il, - 3D.
whisper:
Five companies. y
"Well, dang my hide!" exolaim med
Fitzpatrick.
"What is your fighting force?" Cap
tain Fambrough asked.
-Four companies" said Clopton.
"Think O. that, STRIP cried the Irish
man, can me out there defendin meself
agin whole armyP'
more than that, % said Clopton, "our
colonel is Connecticut man."
"Shakep' the captain exclaimed.
my colonel is Virginian.
Lord "a mercy Lord "a mercyr' 1t
was Squire Fambrough who spoke I'm
a-goin off aome'rs an Ontangle the tan
gle we've get into. f"
Soon tie small company separated.
The squire went shert distance toward
the Union army with his new found
son, who was now willing to call him
self George Somerville Fambrough.
Fitzpatrick and the negro went trudging
back to the Confederate camp, while
Clopton fingered awhile, saying some
thing of great importance TO the fair
Julia and himself.
His remarks and her replies were
those which precede and follow both
comedy and tragedy. The thunders of
war cannot drown them, nor can the
sunshine of peace render them common
place.

BURNED MUCH NAIL.

Surprising Action of the Postoffice Author
tiles at Cripple Creek.
DENVER, Colo, May 25.-A special
dispatch to The Times from Cripple
Greek says:
Wagon load after wagon load of mail
matter was taken from the Cripple
Greek postoffice to the city dump, where
an attempt was made by the postmas-
ter's assistants to burn it. What was
not consumed was covered with offal.
When it became known to the public
that wholesale destruction of mails
was going ON, many citizens went out
to the dump and saved some Of their
mail. In nearly every instance the mail
thrown away was plainx addressed,
the box number appearingtn full view.
One of the worst features of the affair
is the fact that mail addressed to other
places was destroyed. When Postmas-
ter Rose was called upon for an explana-
ton he said the burning was done on
the authority of the postofiice inspector.
The postmaster acknowledged that some
mail was was destroyed which ought
not to have been. Reputable citizens
say that they pay into the postoffice at
certain intervals stipulated sum of
money for the privilege of receiving
mail in advance of other people who dc
not pay extra. An official investigation
will be asked for.

WANT LAWS AMENDED.

Milwaukee Labor Leaders Ask That the
State Legislature he Convened.
MILWAUKEE, May 25.-At a delegate
meeting attended by $50 representatives
of so trades, labor, Turner and other Or
ganizations, resolutions were adopted
calling on Governor Upham to summon
the Wisconsin legislature in extraor-
dinary session to take action ON the
strike and boycott situation. 1t is de-
sired that the legislature amend the
state laws in such manner that the
charter of the Milwaukee Street and
Electric Railway company may be re-
scinded, or SO amended that the city of
Milwaukee can become the owner of the
company's property in this city.
Cars Poorly Patronized.
The strike situation is practically un-
changed. Cars are in operation OH all
lines, but the boycott and fears of vio-
lence prevents them being patroniZed.
No attempt has been made to run cars
Sundays since the street railway en-
plOyes struck, but the company an
nounces that it will start cars next Sun
day as usual. The entire police force
will be OH duty. as serious disturbances
are expected from sympathizers with
the strikers.

FIRE, SMOKE AND LAVA.
The Island of Soccorro, or Mexico, in Ac-

The Island of soccorro, OF Mexico, in Ac-
tive Eruption.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-The Island
Of Soccorro, 400 miles off the Mexican
coast, is in state of eruption. Two
months ago, which is the latest that
news was received of the island, lava
was running down the mountain sides,
overflowing the lowlands and travelling
to the sea. The news came in a letter
to the photographic Office from the
Schooner Tampa, to Tacoma. Captain
Peterson of the vessel spoke the Danish
bark Schwalde Of Guayamas, which re-
ported having passed Soccorro on March
20. The sky and sea were filed with
ashes miles away from the island, and
the blazing mountain was first made
out at night. 1t was magnificent sight,
the Danish captain said, but he did not
dare venture too near on account of the
troubled condition of the ocean.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 25.-Jim
Corbett narrowly escaped losing his life
at the hands of wild eyed crank armed
with revolver, at Hot Springs. AS he
was walking along Central avenue, a
man suddenly sprang from a doorway,
and, facing the pugilist, demanded to
know If his name was Corbett.
IF you are Jim Corbett," the crank
yelled, "I'm going to lick you right
here"
Corbett hesitated moment and the
crank, with quick movement, drew a
revolver from his pocket and pointed it
at Corbett's breast. Corbett, realizing
the situation, struck the weapon out of
the crank's hand, and, seizing the man,
held him until an officer arrived.

NOT ATHING DONE
Asserted That Cleveland Will
Send Another Financial Mes
sage to Congress,
To Call lAttentiOn to the Fact That
No Relief Has Been Given to
the Treasury.
Southern Populist Enumerates
Cleveland's Crimes and Wants
Him Impeached.

ST. PAUL, May. 25.-A Washington
special to The Dispatch says:
1t is positively asserted among sena-
tors who have been i'll consultation with
President Cleveland during the past two
days, that he will send in another tinan-
cial message before the day of adjourn
ment. The consideration of the Butler
anti bond bill having precipitated the
entire financial discussion in the senate,
will afford the president an ample OPP
portunity to call the attention of the
country to the fact that this congress is
about to 90 home without having done
anything for the relief of the treasury.
Senator, Buffers bill would remove the
last vestige of authority for the execu-
tive officers of the government to protect
the gold reserve, under the act Of 1874,
and if passed even by one branch of
congress
will Bring on q Panic
which, compared with the financial dis
asters of 1898, will be much more far
reaching in its effects on the business
interests of the country. 1t is under
stood that if the house and senate fix a
date for adjournment during the coming
week, Mr.. Cleveland will at once send
in message. After the day of adjourn
ment has been fixed and agreed on, the
president can, if he so elects, keep con-
gress in session, for it is customary for
each branch to send committee to the
president on the day Of adjournment
and inquire if he has any further com,
munication to make. 1t is believed i'll
this instance that the president will
state that he has further cOmmunlca-
tions to give congress, and that the
financial message will be the principal
topic, although Cuba and the Venezuela
question may also be the subjects OF
messages in the near future.
