tious young men, with wealth and
intelligence who have, during the
last % years, entered the political
field from a sense of duty, find
that political opponents and a
partisan press never give them
credit for honesty, or even intelli-
gence. So after a brief expert
ence, they abandon the field to the
politicians and get out of the
"cloud of poisonous flies" that
swarm about any one in public
life. 1t is one of the drawbacks of
democratic rule, that those who
have by conscientious work quail
fed themselves to be valuable
guides in building up the State
are rejected by the people.

MORALIZING ON FOOTBALL.

After the tie between The Yale
and Harvard football teams. the
Harvard Athletic Association de-
Iprived its team of theright to wear
the H" on the ground, we learn.
that in some way it had failed in
its duty to the university, in not
winning a victory over Yale. The
San Francisco Bulletin svmpath.
etically tells the members of the
Harvard team that they must
meet this apparent disgrace with
resignation; that it is the com.
mon lot of men to fail at times
thatin theirvariOusc careers in life.
they will meet with this sort of
football experience; that in striv-
ing for the greatest political
honOrs bestowed by the country,
such as a seat in the American
Senate, many of them will be
previously disappointed, but the
boys must keep up their courage.

retired TO Italy and lived in seclu-

off all correspondence with his
friends. But a friend, after some
years, sought and found him, and
attempted TO interest him in Lon

good deal. Finally the friend
said: "The House of Lords is dis
cussing several new measures"
What" said the Peer, sis that
thing going on still?" The
Bulletin should carefully reflect
before it encourages young men
TO aspire TO political honors.

are not aware of the number of
men who decline to run for, or ac-

is a general belief that few men

5 The Government Brings Sui
Against Railway.
On Wednesday the Government ap-
piled for a writ of injunction to pre-
vent the Railway Company from ap-
propriating the property occupied by
it at the Eva end of the harbor. The
harbor facilities are already made
quate and on September 81, the Gov
eminent, through Minister King, noti-
fled the Oahu Railway Co., of it's inten-
ton to take possession, at the end of 90
days from that date, of the premises
occupied by the railway company for
wharf and dock purposes under lease
from the Government under date of
March Is, 1890.
Some time since notice was served by
the Railway Co. to take possession of
the land to convert it to its own use
together with the perpetual right for
1t, its SUGGESTIONS and assigns, to make,
and if necessary, to maintain and use
the right of way by water for vessels
and all other water craft of any draft,
to SAIL haul and otherwise transport
vessels and all other water craft across
the right of way.
The Government has replied by a
petition for writ of injunction to re-
frain from proceeding to condemn the
property and taking possession of or in
any wise interfering with the rights of
the Government. The Government
states that the land and waters of the |
harbor of Honolulu and rights appur-
tenant thereto are the property of the |
Republic, that the wharfage and dock |
facilities of the harbor are inadequate |
to meet the requirements of shipping. |
commerce and trade
The Government also states that it is
proceeding with extensive wharf i'm
provements in the harbor and is tax
ing under the powers vested in it by
law, all property facing on said har-
Dor suitable for wharf purposes for the
purpose of erecting public wharves and
that the property described is needed
for such purposes.
Yesterday motion was filed to mo-
dify the injunction so as to permit the
Company to tender SIS 900 to
the Government. The motion was
granted yesterday afternoon.
