The latest accounts from Cuba
are that the revolutionists are
about to use torpedo boats for
the destruction of the Spanish
war ships. Many have wondered
why such boats have not been EN-
ployed before this, as they would
end the war. if effectively used
1t has not been done because the
cost of such boats has been be
yond the means of the revolutions
lists. If contributions are now suf-
ficient TO enable them TO purchase
there will soon be new and start
ling events on the Cuban coast.

liz were the recipients from relatives
in Victoria (Australia) OF a beautiful
pair of Antwerp homing pigeons. which
we're duly installed as pets. One day
the birds were out flying, but only one
returned to the cot, and nothing more
was heard of the other, despite every
possible inquiry, but yesterday a let
ter was received from Victoria, in
which the wonderful announcement
was made that the missing bird had
arrived safely at its former home.
There can be no mistake about the
matter, as the bird was easily distin-
guished. To reach Victoria from New
Zealand, the bird must have accom-
plished the feat OF flying something
like l 900 miles without rest, and. ac-
cOrding to dates, it must have done
the journey in three days, which would
mean that it would have to fly at a
speed of from Is to 20 miles an hour
continuously"

of this statement, as the word of the
Hon r. ]. Seldom is a sufficient con-
frmation

tier said that under the buckeye
of the free States the slave hunter
could not rest. DR.. McGrew feels
that under the same American
buckeye the wicked heather will
be equally uncomfortable. The
missionaries are pious in one di-
rectiOn; the Doctor is pious in an
other direction. Both are working
for the good of mankind. and if
they tread on one another's toes
sometimes. it is only an incident
in the struggle for the supreme
good of all.
The Doctor says these new CON
verts have been inconsistent. In
consistency is one Of the evidences
of the difference between man and
the monkey. Inconsistency means
growth. Man grows. The monkey
don't.
AS the Doctor sees the growth
of the annexation sentiment. he
should open the facets and flood
the town with a deluge of forgiv-
eness. If the missionaries" do not
cover him with a returning flood
of the same kind, they are wicked
indeed, and we, who are a mem
Der of that body by heredity, will
send in our resignation at once,
and rejoice when calamity over
takes them.

DIR. McGrew's letter on the sub
ject of annexation appears in an
other place; also his views on
missionaries"
The fact is, the Doctor has been
for many years a missionary him
self, but in service in another regi-
ment. He has left to the mission
aries the care of saving the souls
of the perishing heather, and has
devoted himself to saving their
bodies and souls by bringing them
under the benign laws of Christ
ian country which fOrbids heath
enism. The laws of Il powerful
state the heather must obey. The
teaching Of the missionaries they
may neglect with impunity. Whit

I'm VOLUNTARY sERyITUDE.9

The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has recently made a
very important decision regarding
penal contract labor. Ii Is especi-
ally interesting 10 us by reason Of
our contract labor system. Sew
eral sailors shipped in the States
ON the AragO, and signed the ar
ticIes. In Astoria, Oregon, they
deserted and were arrested there
for. They at once sued out Il writ
of habeas corpus, and insisted on
the right to be released on the
ground that they could not be
lawfully arrested for violating
their contract, as such arrest was
forbidden by the Thirteenth Am
endment to the Federal COnstitu
ton, which declares that there
shall be no involuntary servi-
tude."
The case finally reached the Su-
preme Court, and that court was
called upon to decide whether Il
penal labor contract was really
unconstitutional.
The court decided that it is
cOnstitutiOnal; that there is no
involuntary servitude" if the per-
son contracting is at the time free
to do so and there is no fraud in it.
Justice Harlan, in a dissenting
opinion, held that it was very
serious matter to allow a penal
enforcement of such a contract,
and he thought that if it was de-
clared constitutional the different
States might in time pass very OBJ
jectionable laws; that they might
pass laws under which domestic
servants might be imprisoned.
The majority of the court held,
however, that in the case of sea
men it had been for many years
the practice to enforce the penal
laws as contained in the Revised
Statutes; that it was absolutely
necessary to do So in order to pro
tect navigation. \ disputed point
is, therefore, now settled, and
there was no involuntary servi-
tude in it.

The report that a Japanese ship
of war will be stationed in this
port is probably true. 1t has,
however, little significance. Jap
an has a large navy with nothing
to do. The commerce of the coun-
try is with nations that do not
need much looking after, so the
fleets are kept near home. The OPP
position in the Diet can always
make an issue with the Govern
ment on the employment of these
idle vessels. The Naniwa was sta
toned here in 1893. Members of
the Diet attacked the Government
because it saw no reason to send
war ship here. So one was sent.
At the same time. the existence
in these Islands of such a large
number of Japanese would influ-
ence the Government to station a
vessel here as Il mere lOOker-on.
Japan is not, we believe, looking
eastward for territory. She is on
the best of terms with the United
States. and regards Hawaii as the
little roast pig of the American
Iuau. There always will be ru-
mOrs of interference. Those who
are not in the way of getting at
the truth may be disturbed by
them without sufficient cause.
What may happen by reason of
our voluntary invitation TO large
immigration of Japanese is an
other matter. We may be drag
ging the Japanese Government
into our affairs.

The comment ON this decision
is that communities or States do
pass inconsistent laws, if it is be-
Iieved that the welfare of the pub
lie requires it. y sailor may be
''jugged" if he refuses to fulfill
his contract. y farm hand will go
free if he refuses to work. If you
challenge the practical law maker
on this point, he simply replies:
''This is the only way we can
make the thing go, and there Is
no use of specializing about it"
1t is another instance of the fact
that laws are only what. the peO
pie think ought to be done, for
the time being, and that they may
be altered to suit convenience or
whims.

so far as we can judge from the
imperfect dispatches on the sub
ject. received in San Francisco,
the court has carefully confined
its ruling to the case of seamen,
and has in no way intimated that
it applies to any other form of la
Dor contract. 1t recognizes the
necessity of avoiding the Grip
ping of voyages by the desertiOn
of crews, and illustrates the ne
cessity of it by citing the case of
enlisted soldiers, who may be pun

A GREAT many of the weeklies
of the state are running "gold"
supplements devoted to colored
news" In one of the articles
about "the modern farmers is
considerable balderdash and trash
would characterize it "rot"
about the present, happy, rose
strewn pathway and picnic-like
days of the farmer. It says:
''The farmer no longer comes to town
in his road wagon, sitting on twoinch
plank laid across the top of the wagon,
but he rides in his surry, his horses ar
rayed in silver-mounted harness. He
sits in carriage seat to plow his ground,
and after his days work is done takes
a walk for exercise The old-fashoned
horse killing and Misunderstanding thresh-
ing machine has given way to modern
invention run by steam, automatically
fed, which stacks it's own straw, and
measures, weight and loads the grain,
while the farmer, seated in the comfort
able shade, may watch the operation"
If some of the publisher read
their supplements Oh arrival it is
probable many woulp be consign-
ed to the waste basket-the only
proper place for such matter.

The annual report of the gener-

The annual report of the gener-
al land Office for the year
ending last June says that in
North Dakota 1885, 33 acres are
surveyed and 9,424,860 acres, un-
surveyed. The survey of public
lands during the year included
229,802 acres in North Dakota
356, 299 in Minnesota and 968,628
in South Dakota. The report of
the surveyor general of this state
which accompanies the report, say
that the lands along the valley of
the Cannon Ball river should be
surveyed and also those lying
north of the Northern Pacific rail-
road The report further says
that settlers are coming into the
state in large numbers, most of
them seeking lands that have been
surveyed, so they can make their
filings. The state land depart
ments also desire to make further
selections of lanl for the benefit
of schools and other public institu-
lions.
