sEAGULL STOLE THE NEws.--A dis.
patch from San Francisco says The
record of the captain of the schooner
Lucille from Seattle never reached the
Merchants Exchange, because greedy
seagull mistook the papers for food and
swallowed them. 1t is customary when
vessel enters the harbor for the cap
tain to deliver to the Merchants Ex-
change messenger in a small beat o
condensed account of his voyage. AS
the day was fine the messenger called
out to the captain of the Lucille to
throw his papers overheard. AS the
man reached to catch them a seagull
swooped down and grabbed the pack
age in its beak. 1t was pursued by
score of gulls, one of which seized the
package and bolted it. Then all flew
screaming away, and the messenger re-
turned without his news.

ACCORDING to paragraph in yes.
terday's Gazette, the system of stamp
agency stores, if attempted here, will
be opposed in the courts, as it is in
Washington. 1t is well-known that
there is less personal liberty in this CO.
called "land of liberty" than in any OF
the monarchical countries in Europe.
and the opposition referred to is proof
it. Why storekeepers, if they choose to
try to increase their trade by lowering
the price of their goods and making
gifts to their customers, should be pre-.
vented from doing SO, is what no man
in favor of personal liberty can tell. A
mans store, like his house, ia his castle,
and, according to all religions, ancient
and modern, people should be per-
mitted TO do what they please with
their own.

Ireland, Armenia and Cuba; but though
the native Hawaiians have sent rep
resentative delegation here to protest
against the action of the United State 8.
in first changing their form of govern
ment and deposipg their legitimate
rulers, and then in proposing to annex
their country, for the sole and entire
benefit of lees than three thousand
foreigners in Hawaii and their paid
agents here, there are people, in both the
North and the South, who say the Da
tive Hawaiians have no rights that this
government is bound to respect, and
that as nation they should be swept
out of existence, and, though nearly
three thousand miles away. their coun-
try be made part and parcel OF
the United States. The whole scheme
was and is piratical, gross and cruel
outrage upon an inoffensive and friend
ly people, and is repugnant to natural
justice and to all modern ideas of civil

GOVERNMENT by commission is evt n
worse than government by injunction,
because 1t is more expensive and has
more humbuggery about it. The civil
service commission is most costly AT
fair-three high salaried commission
ers, large and entire building, and
scores OF clerke, messengers and other
employees, but that it is grotesqre
aud transparent humbug has now he
come apparent to most all intelligent
men familiar with its operations. The
Interstate commerce commission Is
another very expensive but totally un'
necessary and utterly ineffective hum
bug. 1t was created, nomipally, to re-
duce railroad charges, but that it has
not done SO is plain to every body, and
lis rulings, whenever brought before the
COURTS, are swept away like chaff be-
fore the wind, as was done last Mon
day by the U. S. Supreme Court. And
80 it is with all the many others with
which the people of the country are
afflicted. But commissions enable the
administration to provide sinecure pc
sitions with lucrative salaries for many
of its personal and political friends at
Washington, at the expense, chiefly,
of the poor people throughout all the
other parts of the country, who are
taxed on almost every thing they con-
sumo, in order to raise the requisite
money. All government humbugs
should be squelched, and the GrsS that

SENATOR CHANDLER says the result

SENATOR CHANDLER says the result
of the recent elections proves that II the
republican party continues to oppose
the restoration Of silver coinage, the
democrats will soon have control of all
the branches of the government. Inc
New Hampshire republican Senator Is
a true prophet in this, if in nothing e!se'
and az the republican party is bent on
opposing free silver coinage, the demo-
Gratis may rejoice in the belief that IT
won't be long before they will come to
their own again. Nothing is palmer
than the fact that the people OF TIL
country have set their hearts upon hav
ing a trial Of free silver coinage; they
proved that last fall, when six ard o
half million OF them voted for 1t, ard
when they would have had 1t, saw
only and except for the votes OF the
moor white men OF the North and Inc
negroes of West Virginia, Maryland
and Kentucky, who were induced by
their poverty to sell their ballots to
those who could pay for them with the
money of Mr.. Ranna's corruption iuoc'
and that they are more in favor gift
now that ever before, was shown last
week, when they carried New YORK;
Nebraska, Colorado and Kentucky
Virginia By an increased majority, and
came within few votes OF carrying
both Maryland and Ohio. If a national
election were to be held next week,
nothing is risked in making the asser-
ton that free silver would carry the
country with clean sweep.
