The trouble has been that since the
Office became open. all our capable
men have declined the Office, even to
the malihini who should have received
the appointment in the line of deserved
promotion and who, in the natural
order of things, should have been the
successor of his chief, known, as he
was, as capable and efficient official
but who, we understand, was decried
hy some in the Republican Executive
Committee as being a malihini, yet
who, when filling subordinate posi-
ton, was not then decried. Then he
was all right; but when it came to MAX
ing him chief as the natural successor
to his resigning chief, no, no, he was
not IT. But it had no sooner been Of
fered to political job chaser, who has
always been laundering for office, it

One of the main reasons why certain
clan here, who have held power far too
long, see cause for dread in the early
passage of the city and county meas
ures, is because of Offices being made
elective, and many of the class referred
to, fear that they will not be elected to
fill desired offices. They further
fear the native Hawaiian majority vote
and they have very good reason to be
SC afeared. Such being the case COM
ing events presages soon the end of
their ruling and their relapse into po-
l;tical obscurity for good and forever,
we hope. No political party can be as
sured of success without the aid of the
Iawaiians, and it behooves their lead
e's to be on the alert, not to watch
and pray" until "the clouds roll by y

Governor Dole has appointed Lorrin

Territory, to fill the position made va
lcant by the resignation of the present
incumbent whose term expires the end
lof the month. This selection may be
considered good as far as the Governor

concerned, but to the people it is IA
matter of surprise that the appointing

mantle of that all-important Office fall
ipon such narrow shoulders. And hay

LADIES GO FROG HUNTING.
u Is a FnvorIte Amusement of French
Women at COnstan-
tlnOpIe.

One OF the favorite amusements OF
French ladies at Constantinople is
frog hunting, says the London Tele-
graph. A large party is organized, the
ladies' all appear IN dainty Partisan tot
lettes, with very high heels to their
boots, and each carries long bamboo
rod. The gentlemen are got up in prop
err costume for "la chasse" and bear
sticks. Then they all adjourn to some
marshy spot where frogs abound and
begin fishing. The bait ia piece of
raw meat tied to string at the end
OF the bamboo.
The ladies do the fishing, and as soon
as one sees that a frog has swallowed
the bait she gives a violent jerk 20 the
rod, which brings the frog out onto
the land. The attendant sportsmen
then fall upon the ferocious animal
and slay It with their sticks. The la
dies sometimes also join in the last IA
tai act, but the men always try TO dir
suade them, as in their excitement
they frequently mistake a mans head
or foot for the frog ana The sport be-
comes too dangerous.

FOUL AIR IN RAILROAD CARS.
Ventilation an Opportunity to
Distinguish Themselves.

A great many people have way of
talking of how sleepy travelling makes
them. They say that they cannot be
long in a railway train and remain
awake. This phenomenon is attrib-
uted somehow to the act of travel
ing, but the plain fact is that it is due
to more or less asphyxiation, says the
Hartford Courant. The car needs not
to be in motion. 1t is enough to enter
it and begin upon the experience.
Whoever does travel much has to be
struck with the shocking condition OF
the atmosphere in whatever car he
may enter. 1t is the first thing one
thinks of when he passes the door
Then he looks about and sees how
many of the passengers are dropping
in their seats, more or less doped, and
all of them used up.
Now the whole trouble is with the
ventilation of the car. There is no
other human habitation, not even the
theaters and the churches, that begins
to be so ill or so little ventilated as
the railroad car. This is not right
For much of the time the car is in mo-
tion, and there must be some easy
way to change the air in moving
chamber.
The closeness and discomfort of the
Pullman are attributable to the indi-
rect influence of the warm climate OF
Africa. That country is put in con-
troll of the car. and proceeds to estab-
lish the African climate there. But
other cars fare little better. They
are all of them devoid of ventilation.
all of them stuffy and unhealthy, and
all of them discredit to the makers
and managers. There ought to be some
sensible crank on ventilation (most of
the ventilation cranks are so ultra as
to escape the charge of being sensible)
to open a reasonable agitation on the
subject that shall compel attention
to the present pernicious conditions
and secure improvement.

They do not take the same interest
IN his advancement, because they
know full well there is the weight u
outside cares that will interfere with
the single interest which every com
handing officer desires in the career
of the young officers. says Town Top
les. 1t is enough that they learn first
how to be soldiers without learning
at the same time how TO be hus bands
They think one boss" is enough for
the little lieutenant. The orders Of
one are bound to conflict with the or.
ders of the other. The military "boss"
will not go to the domestic boss to see
that orders are carried out, but the
domestic boss never hesitates for a
minute to go to the highest ranking
general N she feels that her rights
are trodden upon. II is sometimes
very wonderful, the colossal courage
of the young wife who is just learn.

do and to say what the older cam.
paigners never dream Of doing or
saying. And that is another block In

VIRTUES OF THE ESKIMO DOG.
An Invaluable Servant and Food Re-
serve to the People OF the
Frozen North.

OF the Eskimo dog could write
book. In all probability descended
from the wolf, 1t is the Eskimos one
domestic animal, but is of as much
value to him as all the domesticated
animals of more favored races put tH'
gether, writes Commander Robert l.
Peary, in Leslie's Monthly. 1t drags
him and his family and their chattels
from place to place, hauls to his door
the meat of seals or walrus; leads him
with unerring scent to the tiny ORR
flee in the snow, which indicates the
breathing hole of a seal; drags him
for miles in pursuit of the bear, and
finally brings the huge brute to bay;
rounds up the musk-oSen till his mas
ter can come up for the kill, and then,
perchance, in the darkness of some
long winter night, when the hand of
hunger grips the settlement relent-
lessly, he yields up his life to feed
his master and his family, and his
coat to keep them warm,
Though mixed now with other
strains, so that black and reddish and
spotted dogs are to be seen rs well
as the pure-blooded grays and whites,
this animal still retains TO a large
degree the strength, endurance and
fierce lust for blood when in pursuit
of game that characterizes its wild
ancestors. Combined with these traits
are an intelligence and faithfulness
that make many of these animals the
peer of any of their more favored
brothers in more genial climates.
