THE FAMILY COMPACT"

This term is in very common use
here, and it appears in much OF the
correspondence sent from this place TO
the Mainland.
1t is the term OF reproach used here
by the "outs" to designate the FORUM
ate, but wicked ''ins." 1t corresponds
with the term "rascals," which Is in
wide use in the States, a word that
designates those whom the people have
put into office, by majority OF their
votes. AS soon as some persons are
comfortably fixed in Office, those who
by the action OF an inscrutable Proyi-
dence are left out, being Instructed by
their reason and especially self-inter-
ests, feel that the occupants OF Office
become rascals by the mere act OF TAX
ing Office and therefore the watch
word, turn the rascals out" is shout
ed from the political house tops.
These words have not yet been ac-
Climated here. Those who desire 10
use them were largely instrumental In
selecting the present officers, and
shrink just at present from shouting
the word rascal" 1t is kept In re-
serve, however, for an opportune mo-
ment.
The family compact" is an indefin'
lite term. There are few OF the native
born that belong to 1t. There is little
family influence in 1t. Strictly speak
ing It means "the men in power,
without reference to their social rela
tons. Whenever man gets a gov
eminent billet" he regards the "famil!
compact" as one of the wisest and mos
enlightened arrangements that can b,

regarding penal institutions, or the de-
licate etiquette of the gallows. Should
President Dole and Judge Frear, In
their enthusiasm for the perfect ASST
initiation of the institutions Of the two
States, attempt to incorporate any OF
these picturesque phases OF civiliza-
ton into the proposed organic laws.
the other Commissioners who may bet
ter understand the side lights Of the
varied social life of a numerous people,
will gently check them.
As the State Of New York kills its
murderers with electricity, which Is re-
garded as a rather CHASTITY novelty.
there is no reason why the Commits
sioners should not retain some OF the
ancient and interesting Hawaiian
usages, in the proposed organic law.
The praying to death" was accepted
by Hawaiian statesmen and scholars,
fifty years ago, as an effective way of
terminating disorderly lives. 1t was
said to be as eHectlVe as any metnOu
Of capital punishment. 1t was pro-
tracted but painless.
1t may be urged that in these days
of activity and haste, slow but pain
less method OF execution Is not suited
to the restless spirit OF the age. The
reply Is, that we should reserve and
maintain at least one institution which
suggests the quiet and moderation OF
the past. The Commissioners from
the Mainland may be somewhat skepti
cal about execution by prayer" bu
a series OF experiments might be trie'
during the visit of the Commissioners
which would settle the matter.

before them. On the one hand they
could do as Davis did, bury themselves
in contemplation Of their defeat, and
give full sway to their resentments,
disappointments and regrets; or, on
the other hand, they could accept the
Inevitable; let the dead past bury Its
dead; take hold Of the living present
and work out their own and their peo-
pies salvation.
We, of Hawaii, do not need to read
history to know which course they
chose.
Nearly every member OF the Senate
and House Of Representatives at Wash
ington from the South, 10 an ex-Confed-
crate soldier. Senator Morgan Is to-
day one Of tho great constructive
statesmen, not only OF the South. but
Of the United States, taking an active
and prominent part In every great
measure involving its progress and
development, trusted and respected by
his political opponents as well as by
his own party. He is one Of the living
forces in American life.
To the leaders Of the opposition to
annexation, we would say, the same
choice Is open to you that was pre-
scented to Davis and Morgan. Which
will you choose? You are living in a
free Republic. There Is no law pre-
venting you from wrapping the Ha-
waiian flag about you, and within its
folds spending the balance Of your
days in pouring forth denunciations on
the missionaries" and the repro
bates" of 1898 and in gloomy contem-
plation of "the good old times" On
the other hand there Is no law prevent
ing you from taking an active part in
the future life and progress OF Hawaii.
Your future lies in your own hands.
II you propose to become professional
and perpetual mourners, all times are
alike. The tomb knows no time. IL.
however, you intend to act as men
among men; to help yourselves and
your people upward and onward, NOW
is the accepted time.

A TINE FOR ALL THINGS.

The Scriptures say that there is
time for all things.
There was time in Hawaii for a
struggle between the Monarchical and
the Republican systems 0: Government.
That time Is past. The Monarchy Is
gone. Whether the supporters Of the
annexation movement were right or
the supporters OF the Monarchy were
wrong. Is only a matter Of reminis-
cence; an interesting historical ques-
ton. the details and pros and cons
of which will be threshed over and de-
bated for many long day to come.
But 1t is no longer living issue.
After the North had conquered the
South, few Southerners continued
the war, In their minds, for years.
President Davis never forgot. never
forgave, never missed an opportunity
to harrow up the feelings OF his people.
The entire remaining years Of his life
were wasted in vain regrets and un-
profitable mourning over the lost
cause. He was a man Of ability with
great influence over his people. Meth
er influence nor ability were ever again
used for the uplifting of his people or
the benefit of humanity. Both were
buried in the grave OF the Confederacy
Side by side with President Davis
fought General John T. Morgan, and

NEW BEDFORD SITUATION.
State Board of Arbitration VIII Do some-
thing if Still Possible.

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 14.-Richard
P Barry, of the state board of arbitra-
ton. arrived in this city this morning
shortly after 10 o'clock, and was met at
the Old Colony station by Secretary
Hart of the Weavers' Union, and Sec
rotary Waldron of the Carders' Union.
Both of the local labor leaders were
without instructions from their organic
alton to act with Mr. Barry, as both
unions had expressed a feeling that 1t
was too late to act.
Commissioner Barry's visit on this oc-
casion is to meet the labor leaders per-
sonally and deliver to them message
from the state board. which he declines
to make public at this time. He held a
long conference with Hart and Waldron
in the weavers' headquarters, after
which he interviewed other labor lead
ers in the city
With regard to the discussion relative
to the failure of the state board to meet
the weavers and carders and the spin
ners on their visit early this week, Mr..
Barry said: 'The whole matter has been
misunderstood, and if it is possible to
do anything now, it will be done
The city council last evening passed
an order appointing a committee to as

tween 5000 operatives and their employ

PosTPoNEMENT ASKED.

New Bedford, Jan. 14.-At meeting
of the joint arbitration committees of
the board of trade and the city council,
this evening, the following resolution
was adopted: THAT taking into consid-
Grafton the momentous issues to our
city involved in the present controversy
between the manufacturers and opera
tives, and the far-reaching and calam-
itous consequences of a strike. the meet
ing earnestly requests the manufacture
ers, in the interest of the city, TO post
pone the cut-down in wages for another
week, in the hope that some adjust
ment satisfactory to both parties may
meanwhile be effected"
Copies of the resolution will be sent
to each cloth mill treasurer tomorrow
Had the weavers confined themselves to
the original proposition, to strike for
the removal of 10 per cent reduction,
there might have been some chance of
a concession on the part of the treas
urers, but now it is conceded that Moth
ing but miracle can avert the strike.
Lewiston, Me, Jan. 1.-THE card
grinders and speed tenders of this city
voted this evening not, to strike when
the ten per cent reduction of wages goes
into effect in the mills Monday.

UNION ACTION ENDORSED.

New Bedford, Jan. 14.-Adelphi rink
was crowded tonight, fully 1000 men
and women attending the mass meet
ing Of the union and non-unioh weavers
Of the city. The action of the union in
voting to strike was endorsed by a
hearty aye, and it was voted to stay out
until the abuses claimed by the weavers
are corrected. The weaVers demand.
hrst. a restoration of wages; second, the
abolition of the fining system; third,
the adoption of uniform price list in
all the mills Of the city.
1t was the sentiment of all that the
weavers would not go to work Monday
even If the notices were taken down to-
morrow. The union and non-union card
and picker room operatives had an
other mass meeting tonight. The vote
to resist the cut down was unanimous.

INDIAN CURRENCY RELIEF.
Bill for Issuing Notes Against Cold
Times Advises Gold Standard.

Calcutta, Jan. 14.-Sir James West
land, the finance minister of the coun-
ell, introduced a bill today, providing
for the issue Of currency notes in India
against gold
Mr.. Arthur the secretary of state in
London, In behalf of the banks and mer-
chants, endorsed the measure
The finance minister said the Indian
money market was experiencing pc
Rod of extreme stringency. The local
resources, he added, were unable to
supply the demands Of trade. The scar
city, he explained, was due to the banks
renting their capital home and keep
ing as little as possible in India.
London, Jan. lathe Times, in its
financial article this morning, says that
1t understands that gold will be re-
ceived in London, in connection with
the new Indian currency scheme, at
1873. 1t says further: cat present
there is little likelihood of gold being
deposited, as the Indian government,
not having adopted the gold standard,
would not be compelled to redeem the
new notes in gold. 1t is therefore ad-
visable that the gold standard should
be adopted

ENGLISH STRIKE SITUATION.

London, Jan 4.-The committee Of
the allied trades unions on the initiative
Of the amalgamated engineers has de-
cided to withdraw the demand for 4S
hours of labor per week, and the work
mems officials hope the employers will
withdraw the lockout notices, and thus
end the great labor dispute
The decision of the committee of the
allied unions means the withdrawal Of
the strikers principal demand, and the
immediate or early end Of the struggle
The statements of the strikers represen-
tatives, however, are conflicting; as,
while the decision was announced en-
phatically at Glasgow and Manchester
where the employers were advised to
that effect, Secretary Barnes of the
London branch Of the Amalgamated So
ciety Of Engineers declares the an
nouncement is untrue. The Amalga-
mated Society of Engineers issued a
manifesto tonight. 1t ignores today's re-
ports, and merely recites the engineers

RECONSIDERATION WANTED.

The Standard, in its leading editorial
tonight. said Of the mill situation: ut is
apparent that in this city, at least, the
public opinion is very strongly inclined
to the view that the cut-down is unnec-
essary, and will ask the mill treasurers
of this city if they will not reconsider
this whole subject"
The Standard concludes: Many of the
statements made by the immediate par
ties to the controversy are inevitably
colored by their predictions. and are
not the outcome of broad consideration.
Nevertheless, it seems to Us that the
managers of the New Bedford mills,
standing today face to face with re-
sponsibility of the gravest nature, hold
ing in their hands the prosperity of
hundreds of their fellow-citizens, hav-
ing enormous powers for good or harm,
have this one obligation above all other
obligations,-to consider solemnly
whether even on the verge of a bitter
and costly strife, they cannot recede
