The United States has shaped its pol

thus augment trade. Having succeeded

that it will spoil the effect by re-enact-
ing, in all it's odious entirety, the Geary
exclusion act The time when Denis
Kearney and the other hoodlums OF
San Francisco could dictate the eco

passed. Business is now king and 1t
clearly sees the necessity of getting in
enough Chinese labor to perform the
rough tasks which white men will not
undertake. We believe that, when the

The Brooklyn Standard Unions
Washington correspondent notes the
progress of the movement to give Ha-
wall an American voting franchise Al
present this is the only part of the
Union where the ability to read and
write foreign language Is named
among the qualifications of suffra ge.
Such p law is alien to the American
idea and was the means of giving Ha-
wall an anti-American Legislature. The
leaders of the Republican party are be-
ginning to see that expansion will be a
failure in these parts unless the Ameri-
can plan of voting is adopted in its en-
tirety. To let things go as they are is
to foist the onus Of misrule here upon
an administration which, with the act
of annexing new lands, has always
coupled the promise of good govern.
ment. To enable this purpose to be
carried out in Hawaii, the languages
qualification of the suffrage should be
confined to English.

The account of the meeting of the
leaders of the Home Rule party printed
elsewhere reads like the proceedings of
a chimpanzee congress. Yet it is a
faithful narrative of what happened.
The utter incapacity OF the Home Rul
ers to take a sensible or practical view
of politics again had a specific illustra-
ton. AS for the main object of the
gathering, the naming of a successor
of Governor Dole, it was worthy of
men whose solicitude for the lady dog
consumed more than one-haif of the
regular sessions of the Legislature
leaving serious questions of revenue I'M
touched. The slightest rational inquiry
would have told the Home Rulers that
Governor Do1e's imminent return to
Honolulu in good health, mentally and
physically, would make their proceed
ings a mere Sin1ian impertinence. But
rational inquiry is as much beyond
them now as it was In legislative. days.

There is no use in trying to galvanlze
the dead issue of an extra session into

money the conservative people of Ha-

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The plan of making acetylene por-
table by compression and liquefaction
was speedily given up on account Of
the dangers of explosion. A more sat
isfactory solution of the problem was
reached five years ago by Messrs.
Claude and Hess, who found that
quart of acetone at a pressure Of 10
atmospheres would dissolve SIS cubic
feet of acetylene, with an increase of
volume of 1875 fluid ounces, and that
the gas would be given off on release
of pressure. The mixture has proven
to be quite inexplosive. To remove the
Slight risk from free gas in the con-
tanning vessel and the inf1ammable
character of the liquid when spilled,
q French company has now conceived
the idea of completely filing the recep-
tacle with a special porous brick,
which is made first to absorb the ace
tone, and then the gas under pres
sure. With certain precautions in
using the gas. almost absolute lack of
risk is claimed.

much to put them in good shape and
until the thing Is done there should be
no talk of new road-work in the
