ARREST HIM, IF YOU DARE.

Another opportunity has offered
itself to Mr.. Dole aud his tribe to
show their bravery. Honeck, an
exile from these islands, is here and
is parsding our streets in the garb
Of an American sailor, and is snap
ping his fingers at Mr.. Dole and his
outfit OF braves. Honeck was one
Of the political suspects who enjoy
ed the hospitality of Mr.. Low in
1895. He was a soldier in the regu-
lar army and considered very dan
gerous to the peace and slumber OF
Dole & Co. After having been held
in solitary confinement for num-
ber of weeks, he was permitted to
clear out, and while under duress
he signed a document or two at the
dictation of Mr.. Dole's hirelings.
Now he is here without permission
defying the "best government" the
world ever saw. Arrest him at once,
Mr.. Dole, bring up your evidence
aud your spies If they have not yet
been deported or locked up and
hang Honeck 32 times day, If
you don't you will see @. W. Ash
ford on Mercb ant street within a
few weeks, and he will march along
with Honeck, the one protected by
the English flag and the other by
the guns OF the Marion. Let us see
the pluck of the ad interim Cooper
and his colleagues, and let the Gov
ernment which has insulted and de-
fed Japan show itself up to the
occasion by arresting Honeck. And
Honeck will not be arrested, but the
band will play on--tnext Sunday.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

The ex-military organ states that
Mr.. Oscar White, Captain OF Com
pany B, will withdraw from mill
tary services when his commits
sion expires in April.
A number OF the officers aud men
of all the volunteer companies staie q
that they are inclined to follow the
example of Captain White and de-
cline to re-enlist. The reason for
this state Of affairs is that large
number of the volunteers have be
coma tired Of doing military duties
without finding any encouragement
from the Government.
1t is a well-known fact that Mr..
Dole's advisors are at all times
favoring the members of the Citi-
zens' Guard in preference to the
volunteers. We think that the Of
fcers of the National Guard should
wait on the Minister of Foreign
Affairs and on the President and
find out once for all whether the
volunteer companies are wanted
or not.
The country is in decidedly
peaceful state OF affairs and it is
probably true that even in the case
OF war with Japan our Citizens
Guard would be capable OF defand-
ing our Opera House, Btistols cir
Gus, the Executive Building, the
lunatic Asylum and other points of
vantage. Such, at least seem to be
the ideas OF our "best" government
aud for that reason a cold shoulder
and a marble heartare given to the
men and officers who have devoted
their time in military drilling and in
parading in uniforms through our
streets.
The INDEPENDENT has always been
unable to see any necessity for the
absurd military expenditures in
augurated by Mr.. Dole and alto.
gsther out OF proportion to the
revenues of the country. We are
bound, however, TO admire the
energy aud enthusiasm exhibited
by Captain White and his colleagues
in the N. G. FL. in keeping up the
volunteer companies, and incident
ally Mr.. Dole's military opera bou6e.

There is a system in vogue around
certain Government buildings which

1t is rumored that the rule of

would be satisfactory to the tax

OF the famous Carolina marsh 'tacky' and
the kentucky horse. From their breeding
and manner Of their raising they are eX-
cteepuonaIly hardy and wiry. Every spring
the owners of the punches, wishing to
catch the three-year-olds to break and sell,
organize horse hunt to which the neigh
DorS with good horses for miles around are
| invited. Those are occasions for rival
riders and horses to decide which are en-
titled to the blue ribbons Regulations can
be made and horses can be ridden to death.
1t $ not mile dash, you know but stern
chase for matter of twenty thirty or
more miles-not all in the same direction,
put back and forth, or in circuits of miles,
as the leaders of the drove fancy.
None of the men thereaboutS are prac-
tlced in lasso throwing, so they do not at
tempt it. The horses are simply run until
they are exhausted, when the hunter or
chaser gets alongside and losses a rope
around the neck of the animal he selects.
The best way to capture these horses and
the plan most commonly employed is to run
the drove all one afternoon, and keep them
going until dark; then at day dawn, mount
ed on a fresh horse, to resume the chase.
The wild animals will be stiff from the run
OF the previous day and easily overtaken.
l have been several times invited to join in
the hunts, and never realized what the
sport was till 1 had a taste of it. And your
horses, too, seem to love it, and are as anx-
lous to test their speed as when hounds, in
full cry, bring a deer flying by them. To
hear the thunder of couple of hundred
sets of hoofS and the defiant neighing as
the drove dasheS over the carpet pretty
and green as well-kept lawn, and to feel
good horse under you trembling with ex-
element and ambition, is enough to make
one feel like riding. On two occasions We
about twenty of us-rode droVes down in
one day. Knowing about the course the
horses would take, one detachment took
position as to intercept them after they
had had hard run. In this way the fresh
horses were able to press them so hard
that they got blown, and were easily over
taken. These horses have probably as much
bottom as any wild ones in the world
perhaps greater endurance than those on
the Western plains years ago. Few persons
who have not considered the matter under
stand how it is possible to run down a
wild, unncumbered horse, when the animal
showing the greater endurance carries a
weight of perhaps $50 pounds. There are
two reasons, but the chief is the difference
between grain and grass food; the second
IS that the rider employs Judgment and
saves his animal while the wild horse Oft
en- wastes his strength early in the race"

souls and of the spiritual efficiency
wrought in them by contact with Him
Have you joined your eternal fortunes

Kitchen Furnishings.
Womankind.


Miss Parloa does not agree with the per-
sons who want to cumber up the kitchen
with every new tangled fixing that comes
along. She says that kitchen utensils
should be as simple of construction as pos
sible, and no more purchased than are nee
essary. A multiplicity Of utensils is both
annoying and confusing. There should be
no stint of towels, soap and water; but as
soon as a towel or cleaning cloth begins to
the pipes makes great trouble for the
plumbers A wire dis1cloth and wooden
skeWers are Indispensable. All kitchen
utensils should be washed and wiped as
carefully as china Amy utensil in which
frying has been done, should be wiped out
with soft paper before washing.
She warns housekeepers to give the kit
chen sink unremittting attention, as it is be-
yOnd the plumbers art to prevent its stop
page if the housekeeper does not look after
it. The liquid grease poured through it So
lidifies and clings to the pipes. To prevent
meal, and pour hot water through the pipes
to scald them out. A solution of washing
soda, allowing a half-pint of soda to six
quarts of boiling water, should be kept on
hand for cleaning the pipes. Warm the
pipes first by pouring boiling water through
them and follow it by two quarts of the
soda solution. If this is Systematically
used, the six quarts a week will keep a
small house in good condition. In special
emergencies where the sink becomes
stopped with grease, use larger quantities
of the soda and then flush thoroughly. In
case of sickness, when dlSinfecuon be-
comes necessary, dissolve four tablespoon
fuls of carbolic acid in a pint of water, and
pour through the pipe, waiting a few min
uteS before flushing.
