ANTI FAMILY COMPACT.

The matter is, OF course, IN the
hands OF the voters, but the voters
should understand clearly what
they are voting for, and why they
are voting. A great Of political
and practical instruction upon
county government will
have to be given between now
and the elections in November.
This is a matter rhst the Republican
party leaders should give the most
careful attention to. Ga every ISL
and, 10 every district,;n every village
and hamlet the work of education
in local sitizanship should go on.
At present, to large number OF
people, the county bill only means
the multiplication OF Offices and an
opportunity for some more people
to get salary. 1t does not mean
to shem the choice OF candidate
for his qualifications, but it means
the choice of a candidate upon per-
sonal or family grounds without the
slightest regard to his qualifications.

Ex-Delegate Wilcox's advice to
the Home Rulers to nominate only
the best available material for Office
was smineutly sound. Every party
should follow that dictum. Personal

worth. The voter wants before him

not of job chasers and cheap glory

OF the wishes of the people whose

have solemnly sworn to maintain.

TO high official positions carrying
exorbitant salaries, pliable mex
perienced and incompetent persons:
with psrceling out the public do
main in princely tracts to favored
individuals, with the intent that
the same be held in trust for great
corporations, in Asgraut violation
OF the letter and spirit OF the Or
ganic Act: with using the public
funds with which to defray the ex-
penses OF it's emissaries and lobby
lists to and at Washington for the
purpose OF preserving the stdtu quo
OF the Oligarchy, concealipg it's
frauds and disappointing the wish
es and aspirations of the great mass
Of the people Of this Territory. And
we call attention to the fact that
the acts as we'll as the policy OF the
present Territorial Administration
was roundly condemned IN toto by
the three Republican United States
Senators who recently visited Ha-
waii as a Subcommittee OF the
United States Senate, and made a
detailed aud exhaustive investiga.
tiou OF all OF it's conditions, to wit
Hon John II Mitchell OF Oregon,
Hon Addison g Foster of Wash ing
ton, Hon Jos r Burton of Kansae.
(3 We appeal to the conscience
aud manhood OF the voters OF this
Territory to join US in our effort to
effectually restrict the power of an
Standardization which is dishonored
at home, and discrsdited abroad,
and which possesses neither aim nor
end other than it's own aggrandizs-
ment. And we cordially invite all
citizens without reference to race,
creed or class to unite with us 80
that we may have in this Territory
a government OF law, aud not OF
men, government OF equal rights,
opportunities aud privileges under
which the voice OF the humblest
citizen may be heard and res
pscted.
(4) We declare ourselves in favor
of the most liberal forms of county

solemnly pledge ourselves to omit
no endeavor to secure those forms
of government whichS are "instinc-

gardsd az a part OF his birth

(5) We declare ourselves in favor
of the repeal OF the law which re-
quires the Chief Justice OF the Su.
preme Court to make biennial re-
port to the Legislature, which law
affords that official pretext for
intermeddling in politics and mat
ters OF legislation, entirely bsyond

a law by the last legislature author
izing two or more corporations to
form co. partnership, aud we charge
that said law was devised for the
purpose OF enabling cor porations
to evade that just and sensible pro-
hibition ip the Organic Act against
the holding OF more than one thou
sand acres of land by a corporation:

is directly contrary 10 tina laws OF

tion aud combination. And we ca

grow on the backs of their own sheep,

it, and make it ready for the looms

used in this work, for to the wooden

stabllltv Of the SOLAR system.

Stability of the Solar System.
A question of the highest interest Is
whether or not the slight mutual In
fluences of the planets will destroy
in the lapse of time the present gem
eral configuration of the solar system.
1t is conceivable that the large planets
may collide, or that part or all Oh
them may be precipitated on the sun,
or that the eccentricities Of their or
bits may become so great that raolcal
changes of seasons will result from
their varying distances. Thus, II the
eccentricity of an orbit should be re-
duced to one-half, the planet would pc
three times more distant at aphelion
than at perihelion, and in the former
case it would receive one-ninth as
much heat and light as in the latter
A rigorous mathematical answer to
the question of stability is by no
means easy.
What can be legitimately inferred
from the Investigations which have
been made on this subject? Only this,
| unless there are other forces involved
than those considered, the general
configuration of the solar system Will
remain much as it is at present for
| long time, probably tens of thousands
or even millions of years. The state
ments made in many excellent popular
books that the stability of the solar
system for all time has been proved
is entirely too strong and has abso
lutely no logical foundation. The
mathematical evidence is no better
than that furnished by geology ano
biology, and such sweeping conclus
sions cannot be drawn from the OATS
furnished by any science.

PURIFYING Air.

The cooling and publication of air
for office buildings, says Engineering
News, is most effectually accomplish
ed by forcing the air through water
spray. The excess of water in the air
is then removed by centrifugal force.
To do this series of tubes are pro-
vided in which spirals are so placed
as to give the air whirling motion,
causing the suspended particles of
moisture to be thrown outward, and
thus brought into contact with the
tubes, from which the moisture flows
through perforations to drip-pan be-
low. By providing thermostat and
steam heating coils it Is thus possible
to have air at the same temperature
throughout the year, and not only
to have the same temperature, but the
same moisture contents. A plant of
this character was recently installed
for the Twin City Telephone com
pany of st. Paul, Mimi, by the B. F.
Sturtevant company of Boston, Mass
