Railroad Crash.

Port Jeryis, n. Y, April PA dis
astrous railroad wreck miraculously un-
attended with loss of life occurred on the
Erie railroad at Sparrowing four miles
west of here at 1O:40 o'clock last night
A car of an east bound freight train left
the rails and fell on the westbound track
\ Wells Fargo express train which was
passing at terrific rate of speed crashed
into the derailed car. The engine OF
the express train left the track and ran
about thirty feet on the ties and then
plunged down thirty-five foot embank-
ment. Engineer Outwater reversed the
engine, but 1T was too late and he went
down the embankment with the engine,
but escaped uniniured. Fireman Crow
les was probably fatally injured. The
train remained on the track.

FEW days ago the United States sen
ate passed 70 private pension bills in 60
minutes There has been great flood
of private bills of this character at this
session. The general pension laws meet
almost every deserving case; and pri-
vate bill generally indicates that the ap-
plicant has been rejected by the pension
Office authorities as not coming under
existing laws, which were made to cover
almost every rightful case. A tendency
is noted these days for making liberal
allowances by private bills in the way of
pensions for the families of deceased Of
fcers. They are given much Imore by
these bills than the regular statutory al
lowsnce, and much more than goes to
the widows of private soldiers who died
in the service or fell in the battle. 1t is
impossible that the senate in passing 75
of these bills in 60 minutes should give
them the investigation and considera-
ton that should be exercised in voting
away the peoples money. Some of the
cases, no doubt, are meritorious. 9th
ers are not, but rest for success on the
work and influence of the member
championing the bill. OF course there
is the usual log rolling in this sort OF
special legislation.

The Work OF Feoipajs.

Hazleton. Pa, April 12-Andrew
Murnar died at his home near Jeddo
this morning, the result of injuries in
hicted by brigands. When going home
Monday night he was attacked by two
masked men, who proceeded to relieve
him of his watch and other vaIuables.
He resisted and they beat him into sub
mission, smashing his bones and club
bing him about the body. To complete
the job his assailants threw him into a
mine hole, where he was found next day.
He has since recovered sufficiently TO t II
what happened him, but could not iden-
tify his assailants. The officers are now
working on the case and believe they
have clue 70 the perpetrators.

FARMERS in the region about Fresno,
Cal, are almost in despair because of
the plague of rabbits. Although many
thousands of the animals have been
killed lately in one way or another. by
poison. by shooting, and in rabbit drives,
they do not appear to decrease in num-
bers. Thousands have been shot in q
day, but they come in from the surround
ing uncultivated regions to feast on the
grain fields in increasing numbers. 1t is
estimated that three jack rabbits will eat
as much grain as one sheep. A big
drive was held in February and many
thousands of rabbits were killed, but q
month later it was estimated there were
10o, 900 on the same ground. Another
drive was held the last of March, but
already the rabbits are swarming in
again.

INTERSTATE emigration still continues
to a considerable extent, and there is a
constant movement of dissatisfied farm
ers from one region to another. Last
week forty families moved from the
country about Delphi, Ind, out to
North Dakota. At the samestime fami-
lies were moving from North Dakota to
the south, and the northwestern papers
print frequent paragraphs telling of per
sons leaving that region and of other
persons moving there. The circum-
stances appear odd, but they seem only
to show that no one place is everybody's 8
paradise, despite the elo9uence of the
land boomers.

MARCH %, 1896.

The report of the Audit Act Commits
, sion is slumbering peacefully in the
hands of the Executive, and from the
remarks made by one of the Ministers,
bids fair to come before the Legislature
in a new form, if it comes at all. The
principal criticism passed upon the
scheme of the commission is that it
contemplates too radical a reform.
With the books of more than one de-
partment showing losses from the dis
honesty OF clerks, and the Auditor Gen
eral stating, in his report that still an
other department is deficient in the
method of bookkeeping, it would appear
that a reform at least bordering on
radical edge was necessary. There is
no doubt that the bookkeeping depart
ment of the Government is wonderful
Iy crude, and that the business commu-
nifty is clamoring for change in the
method of handling Government bills.
1t will at east do no harm to put the
Audit Act before the Legislature and
send it over the road of legislative in

\ QUESTION OF MITIGATION.

( The measure before the Legislature
TO repeal the Act to Mitigate" should
lead to a positive reform movement
and put an end to the steady increase
of the social evil in Honolulu. The re-
peal of the present law will be strenu-
ously opposed on the ground that as a
sanitary measure it serves as safe
guard that cannot be obtained in any
other way. And yet, in the face of this
assertion, stand the figures showing
that the social evil is not diminished,
that the people engaged in the nefari-
more offensive, and although the law
declares against prostitution, it prac-
ticaIly amounts to a license, and is so
considered, particularly by the native
population. We realize fully that the
moral condition of the lower classes
must be raised to higher standard be-
fore the evil will be wiped out; but in
justice to the guardians of homes of
moral purity, there should be more eff
fective restrictions placed upon the ir4
responsible members of the community
We are not prepared to state that an
out and out license, with segregation to
a given locality, would not be better
than the present state of affairs There
is a peculiar anamoly in the "Act to
Mitigate that is not healthful 1t is
said that one of the influences that

In the response to the call of the
planters the Portuguese have become
conspicuous by thir absence. Having
asked for work and after being given
what they asked for, practically refused
it, the Portuguese are now in a po-
sition to explain themselves. The only
conclusion to be drawn from the pres
ent state of affairs is that the Portu-
guese is suffering more from bad advice
than he is from starvation.

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.

The proposition that has been made
for the young men of the city to take a
more active part in the administration
of the business affairs of the Young
Mems Christian Association is one that
ought to meet with a hearty response
from the younger members to whom the
offer has been made.
With the official personnel as it
stands today, the name Young Mems"
Christian Association is practically a
misnomer While the men controlling
the destinies of the Association have by
no means passed the zenith of activity,
their influence may be classed as pater-
nal. They began as young men, and
rificing labor have made the Associa-
ton leading power in the work of
bringing young men forward into life
of Christian activity.
Now comes the question whether the
young men of the community, who
have prof1ted by the unrelenting toll of
their predecessors will take the respon-
sibility of carrying the work forward.
wheel in the administrative affairs of
the Association, bear the burdens and
share in the success? There certainly |
should be no hesitation. The opportu-
nifty offered is not only a privilege, but |
a duty. The Young Mems Christian |
Association of today, with it's valuable |
property and various departments for
amusement and instruction, stands sec
ond to few, if any, similar organizations
in cities the size of Honolulu. As bust
ness proposition it is firmly established.
BY the young men coming into the
foreground there would also be placed
upon them an obligation to press on in
the religious work. AS members simply
there is always a feeling, that the work
will be taken care of by men in office;
but the new responsibility resulting from

beneficial among the present member
ship and those who may be led to join
in the work in the future. Increased re-
sponsibility is a good tonic to bring a
young mans ability to the surface.
It should not be understood that the
older members will withdraw their !
financial or moral support. They will
simply step aside to put the work where
it belongs, and stand by ready to render !
assistance by wise counsel in whatever c
plans or problems that may arise. The g
young men of today must sooner or 1
later become the leaders, and it is emf
nently fitting that they should step to
the front at this time, when they can
profit by the helping hand which will =
always be extended by the older mem
bers. There is no better time for the
young men to make a decisive move
and they owe it to those who
have done such noble work in the g
past, they owe it to themselves, to &C
