David as the choice OF the Honolulu
democrats for the delegate to con-
greSs. This motion was carried with
out dissenting vote and with much
enthusiasm the name of the prince was
cheered to the echo.
On motion the meeting rendered q
vote of thanks TO the management OF
the Orpheum and the musicians and
talent who had furnished entertain
ment during the evening and Wise was
called upon for a speech. The crowd
yelled for Wise and although every
them some more, John H. Wise stepped
forth with his usual modesty and made
a short speech In Hawaiian. He did
not say anything about sixteen TO one,
nor did he mention the name Of VIII
dam Cullen Bryant once during the
talk. Since the democratic ratification
meeting held some time ago In the drill
shed when Mr. Wise truthfully de-
clared in answer to call from the
floor to tell the assembled multitudes
the meaning Of sixteen TO one that he
didn't know what IL meant and that
IL the great William Cullen Bryant
were himself here tonight don't thiuk
he could tell you what 1t meant" he
has not said much about the sixteen
to one proposition.
His speech, although In Hawaiian,
seemed to be understood by most ot
those present. as he was applauded
several times and seemed to have the
crowd with him when they were listen
ing.
After the speech a motion TO adjourn
was heard and quickly seconded. The
band played the Star Spanglsi Ban
ner" and the meeting was over.

Starving Peasants of Russia Are Com,
 pened 10 Try the Remedy.
 About the beginning of this century distinguished French philanthropist, A. Joux, advised poor people to sleep as much as possible during the winter months. as only thus would they be able to live with any degree of com fort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and, according to a report which has been issued, their almost complete absti- nenee from food has produced no harmful result, and even has from their standpoint proved highly benef
 ria1. These people live at Pskow, a district south of St. Petersburg, and the reason why they have adopted the practice of sleeping during the winter months is because for the last few years their crops have been insufficient to provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenanee. When the elders of the district saw that starvatioy bldIGQ l0G Q6Op4S III lQG laSS e14Cy ehA
 vised them to make their remaining stock of food last as long as possible. and to go to sleep during the winter, This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get up and refresh themselves with a morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and a drink of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar' ently some of the poorest inhabitants of Pskow have been in the habit of hi- bernating for some years, but the prac- tiee did not become general until re- gently, and it has now only attracted the attention of philanthropists and of physicians. Medical men in St. Peters burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two ques, tions: First, does the temperature of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And, second, in what other manner, if any, does this mode of living affect persons physical ly and mentally ?-New York Herald.

SOUTH AFRICAN LAWS.
There Life Is Valued at Less Thaa
 Dfamout5S.

Kimberley proper is built around a hole big enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa. This IS the excavation above the Kimberley mine, made when diamonds were mined from the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed, whence rab blue ground is blasted out and hauled to the surface in elevators. The diamond is different from other precious stones, in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst, ruby and emerald are embedded in quartz. This makes the diamond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose, and by swallowing. and every year the De Beers company gets from the workmen S2,00O, ,OOG worth of stolen goods. The inclina- ton to ptlfer these stones is so intense that the crime is severely punished. In South Africa the first commandment Is
 Thou shalt not steal diamonds For having diamond found or his person that is not registered man will get 2C years Imprisonment. At Cape Town is a great convict station called the sBreakMater, where sons of prominent American families and English aris- foerats join in lockstep with Lascars and Kafirs. They have all violated the first commandment. In Kimberley 1000 negro convicts sort the diamonds under the muzzles of Martini rifles. They are kept in separate place. The other black boys live in q fve-acre in- closure known as the compound The De Beers company controls the dia- mond market of the world. Of the five mines-Kimberley, De Beers, Du Toits.

Beckham TO the office that he pretends
to hold.
Following out the conspiracy outlined
in these columns a few days ago, the
Democrats of Kentucky have deter
mined to inaugurate a reign OF terror.
Republicans and anti-Goebelites are TO
be murdered or driven out. The legis-
lature appropriated 100000 to be used
for this purpose: and the first step is
to be the trial Of leading opponents of
the party in power on a charge of COM
plicity in the murder Of Goebel. II is
worth noting that "Gov." Beckham has
called out the militia ITO assist in pro-
tecting the court from intimidation"
The Democrats of Kentucky are ut
terly Indifferent to public opinion, or
they would realize that its first query
will be why sauce for the goose is not
sauce for the gander. Gov. Bradley
called out the militia TO protect the
voter from intimidation. 1t is called
a crime so heinous as to justify a re-
versal of the will OF the people. With
that as an excuse for revolution, Beck
ham Is seated. Hoping to convict his
enemies as felons, he calls out the
militia to protect" the court What
he means ia TO coerce the court II nee
essary; and IL it does what is expected
of partisan bench In Kentucky, then
to see that no innocent opponent of
Goebelism escapes.

immigration to the State.

The transcontinental railroads are
finding an amount OF westbound pass
enger business which IL is taxing their
resources to handle. The Post-Intelli-
gencer's special dispatches from St. Paul
have called attention repeatedly to the
departure of trains from that point,
bound for the state of Washington, with
as high as a thousand passengers on
board. and the breaking up of trains
into two sections has become quite Gus
tomary. The notable feature of this I'm
migration Is that. contrary to the an
ticipation Of many. the bulk OF the west
bound passengers are not headed for
the Cape Nome gold fields, but are in
tending settlers in the state of Wash
ington. the real Cape Nome rush not
having commenced.
1t seems pretty clear that. notwith-
standing all attempts to cut off the
home-seekers' excursions. with their
special rates, that service is likely to
there is little doubt that the low rates
SO afforded have had considerable TO
do with the amount of the present i'm
migration into this state. The cheap
ness Of the rate adds just the little ad-
dltional flip 10 those who are consid-
ering the question OF removing hither
but who had not thoroughly made up
their minds in regard to 1t.
The movement seems decidedly on the
increase, and as n result Washington is
in a fair way to add far greater num-
Der TO her population during the current
year than in any previous like period
In her history. There is room for all
who may come. and II Is safe to say
that OF those who elect to cast their
fortunes with the state Of Washington,
there win be fewer TO regret the change
than in any like rush of immigration to
new state or territory.
Certainly nowhere in the world can
greater or more diverse opportunities
be found than are presented in this
state. II has each and all OF the re-
