Grievance Stated.

Aorangi yesterday afternoon, has a
grievance against the Custom House
authorities. He called in at this Office
yesterday and stated his case as fol-
lows
Il arrived in this city on the War
rimoo April 18th and went up to Hilo
shortly afterwards. 1 came to HonOlu
1u on the Kinau, which arrived here
last Friday afternoon, and yesterday
purchased a ticket for Vancouver on
the Aorangi. In the forenoon 1 got a
hack and took my baggage down to
the wharf. l was just about ready 10
jump into the hack, when l was in
formed by a big native that l must sub
nit to search. He went through my
pockets and then through the hack,
paying particular attention to the box
under the seat. The search was not
made at the gate, but right on the
wharf, and I was treated like man
suspicioned of having opium on him.

RECESS SSIONAL.

God Of our fathers, known of old
Lord of our far-fung battle-line-
Beneath Whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget,
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget,
Far-called our navies melt away
On dune and headlands sinks the
LO, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget.
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in
awe
Such bOasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to
guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!
Amen.

PRAISE FOR W. A. HARRIS.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 3.-The Breeders
Gazette, a Chicago publication devoted
to the cattle industry, says editorially
of the election by the Kansas legisla-
ture of Colonel w. A. Harris to the
United States Senate:
The first business trip undertaken
by the present editor of the Gazette in
the interest of the then newly establish
ed weekly was to attend the annual
meeting of the American Short horn
Record association held at Lexington,
KY, in February, 1882. Among the Of
ticers of that organization was a Kan
sas breeder who had affiliated with that
association as against Mr.. Aliens
American Herd Book. We were at
once impressed by the force of charac-
ter, intelligence and earnestness dis
played by this particular director, and
at the adjournment of the first session
had the pleasure of forming his ac-
quaintance. This was our first intro
duction to Colonel William A. Harris of
Llnwood, who atterward attained such
fame on both sides of the Atlantic as
a cattle breeder and who has been cleo.
ted to membership in the most exalted
legislative body in the world-the Sem
ate of the United States-to succeed
Mr.. PETER as representative of the
Suntiower state. During the past fif-
teen years Colonel Harris has been a ia
miliar figure in American stock breed
ing circles, and Gazette readers every
where, regardless of political difference
es, will rejoice to know that the fusion
legislature of Kansas has chosen for
this high honor a man of such rare
mental gifts and whose interests and
sympathies are 50 deeply enlisted in
the welfare of American agriculture.
Divide as we may upon matters relat-
ing to tariffs, railways and the coinage,
all have the assurance that the stock
men of the nation will have in Senator
Harris friend at court whose ability,
dignity and thorough sincerity will win
friends for any measure in their inter-
est that may receive his support {.

GOVERNMENT ownership Of public
utilities is one way by which to oyer
come the most powerful trusts on the
face of the earth. If, for example, the
postoffices were run by private cor
poratlon postage rates wogld be double
what they are now and the company
would be claiming that a reduction
would ruin business" destroy the en-
terprice and the whole system of postal
communication would be annihilated.
AS the department is now operated
there Is no enormous capitalization, no
watered stock, no useless and high sal
aried officers to provide fund for and
the result is that the postoffice depart
ment is carried on for sum equal to
the actual and necessary expense of op-
GRAFTON. The people who patronize the
institution reap the benefits. How
ever, some are seemingly not satisfied
with this state of affairs and an effort
is constantly being made to put the Of
flee department into the hands of a pri-
vate corporation. If such a diabolical
scheme should ever be carried into eff
feet postage stamp which now costs
two cents would then cost for or five
cents and other charges increased al
the same ratio.

WHEN the republican state
officers stepped out on Janu-
airy IL, they took with them
pay for four extra days SER
vice. In other words the
terms of Office expired on the
18th but they drew salary up
to and including January Is.
This knocks the new officers
out of four days wages, as
Auditor Morris rules that the
salaries of the new officers
begun where those of the
old ceased. The ruling is
right but the action of the
retiring officers is vicious.
They are simply stealing four
days of the wages which were
earned by the new officers.

popuL1sM.-1rs MISSION AND DUTY.

If Populism ever had mission in the
field it is none the less pressing now
even if the campaign of '96 is over. If
the Peoples party ever had a duty to
perform that duty is not less binding
than it was before. 1t is grave error
to say that there is no work for the
party now that the national conflict is
past and will not be re-enacted until
nearly four years shall have come and
gone. The mission of Populism is to re-
lieve suffering humanity, to restrict and
overcome avarice, lawlessness and cor
there will be ample work for not only
those of the Peoples party clothed IN
official robes but every individual in the
ranks as well. Upon the Populist of
ficials there rests great responsibility
and sacred obligation; upon the indi-
vidual members of the reform move
ment rests the duty of assisting, en-
couraging and at the same time criti-
cising and warning, if necessary, those
whom they have chosen to represent
them as public servants. The mission
is therefore clearly defined and its duty
tersely stated, is the fulfilling of the
mission. This, of course, is not expect
ed at this time in national affairs nor
in states where the Peoples party is not
in complete control. But in our own
state there is no reason, no excuse and
no apology is to be made if the Populist
legislature fails to redeem its pledges
made to the people. By this we do not
mean that to prove their sincerity and
credibility they must take definite &C.
tion on all demands and measures set
forth In the Populist platform-the leg
islative session is too short for that, but
on the material issues there must be
some positive, aggressive and definite
action in order to entitle the Legislators
and, in measure, the party to the re-
spect and confidence of the people.
Conservatism is all right in it's place
but where it is made to overcome JUS

the commonwealth at naught it is dis.

THE Bradley Martin Ball in New
York last week cost $500, 900 and within
a stones throw of the gorgeous and
luxurious display were 1900 laborers
who few days previous had made an
unsuccessful appeal for employment.
The city, too, is badly in need of re-
pairs, cleansing and improvement all of
which would promote its sanitary con-
dition. If Mrs. Bradley Martin would
have used part of that 100000 to EN-.
ploy some of the enforced idle men of
New York it would have been better
for suffering humanity. But we have
arrived at an age where the very rich
have lost all heart and conscience, and
mercy and charity are as strangers to
them. This swell affair is another in
stance wherein 1t is proved that the
aristocrats would rather throw their
wealth away than to assist the needy.
Or course the wealth is in the hands of
the "swells" and they have a right 80
far as the law Is concerned to use it as
they wish but that does not make the
system right which enables them to
concentrate all things having value to
the detriment of the toiling masses.
But the Bradley-Martin illustration is
here given for the purpose of showing
that while the rich obtain their wealth
principally by plundering the common
people, they rarely-very rarely-help
those whom they have plundered even
where it is manifestly shown that their
condition is such that torture and SUBJ
sequent death is inevitable unless re-
lief is given from some source.

less on interest to say nothing Of the

finally, if we were not living under

little hope. Whenever there Is some
thing proposed which will help capital

the Cresset is willing to help the scheme
along, but when it is proposed to nav
