A Damaging Record.

By actual count. from newspaper te- ports, since last October, trade union members and sympathizers have been guilty of as many as four hundred and ninety atrocious crimes. They are chargeable with four murders, three hundred and fifty, assaults upon the person, nine cases of shooting, and three times have the assaulted been robbed. The record of assaults upon the home show two cases of arson. eighteen of dynamite, four of shooting and eighteen of stcning. Twenty-eight times have depredations been commit ted upon trains and cars; four times have railroad tracks been crippled, and there have been three attacks upon en- zines. Troops have been assaulted thirteen times the police resisted nine times, and there have been boycotts and internecine quarrels innumerable.- Railroad Age.

become cstablished-and almost re- spectable-industries So that, while the honest masses desire to honor MT. Folk still further for his steadfast prosecutions of the bocdlers. there is little probability that they will have an opportunity to vote for him as q demo- cratic candidate.
 An intimate Knowledge of this state of affairs has led the republicans of Missouri to consider seriously the ad- visibility of supporting MT. Folk as an independent candidate for governor. Running as an independent, Folk would command thousands of votes from re- spectable democrats. and with the sup port of the solid republican party his election would be practically certain.
 In addition to performing d public duty by placing an honest and fearless man at the head of the state govern ment, the republicans would be playing good politics to nominate Prosecutor Folk. The indorsemcnt of his candi- dacy fer governor would strengthen immensely the regular republican ticket, and it is not improbable that, as Congressman Barthoidt suggests. one of the results would be the victory of the national republican ticket in the state

CANNOT KILL HIMSELF.

Tn Vienna there Is a man who has made forty different attempts to kill himself and has not yet succeeded. Ac- cording to the Austrian press, no other man who is still living has tried so hard to get out of the world as he has. That he will finally succeed in killing himself Is very probable, as he says that nothing would induce him to re- main alive much longer. Indeed. hs has gravely informed the chief of police that he would much sooner die than give pledge that he would stop try Ing to commit suicide"

readily recognized the names Of the
Hawaiian ancestors OF the Ma0ris as
being Identical with those whom their
own traditions credited with having
sailed away from Hawaii 0t a cores
bonding period 10 COLOMBO an Island
that one OF thir number had previously
discovered Even the name Of one OF
the boats. Takltunu. IN which those
yOyagers sailed away was perpetuated
I'm the traditions Of both peoples and
'ghen mentioned by Iirini was GREETED
with joyful recognition by the Ha-
waiians Thus, IN d most interesting
manner were these oral historians of
two South Sea Islands, situated nearly
1000 miles apart. enabled 10 compare
notes and verify the correctness Of each
others traditions.
The feats OF memory evinced by
many Of the Maori historians. though
indeed very remarkable, are rendered
less so than they otherwise would be-
By the practise which prevails among
them Of frequently rehearslng IN the
form Of chants their interesting tradi-
tlons. The ancestral knowledge pos
sessed by our friend Hirinl. the elderly
Maori chief who Is here pres
ent. served him well by
supplying him with the neces-
sary names and other data without any
written history to aid him In laboring
for years In the temple IN ordinances In
behalf OF his dead ancestors.
The zoo years that have elapsed since
the early colonsts left Hawaii have not
obliterated the resemblance between
the languages OF the two peoples.
Enough remains 10 satisfy any rsrson
who Investigates that they were once
the same. the change being idiomatic
rather than basic As an illustration,
love Is expressed In Maori as 'aroha.'
In Samoan as "alofa. while IN Hawaii

"matua." "matua" IN Samoan means
parent. IN Hawaiian maxim" God
In Maori Is "Aua," IN Hawaiian
"Akua." in both Samoan and Ta'uuan
g has the same meaning.
A similarity between the language
and war songs Of the natives OF the
South Sea islands and those OF Central
America has been noticed and COM
mented upon by different writers. one
OF whom was Sir George Grey, former
governor Of New Zealand. In To his
tory OF New Zealand, which is sane
toned by the colonial parliament OF
having been written by one OF It's
members) II Is suggested that the ma
tives came from the American CONT
nent and spread to the westward. IN
support Of this theory q similarity IN
the ruins found In Central America ana
those found upon the various islands

A very strong proof that the Lam
guages Of the South Sea Islanders had
an lsraelitish origin is afforded by the
similarity between their construction
and that Of the Hebrew The Rev. DR..
Mannsell, archbishop Of Auckland. who
compiled a grammar Of the Maori lan-
guage, noticed this resemblance. and,
finding It impossible 10 follow in his
work the model Of an European gram
mar was Obliged to adopt the theory Of
the Hebrew. Referring TO this he de-
clared; Upon no other hypothesis can
q satisfactory solution be given OF tho
Maori tense
AZ an additional reason for the be-
lief that the Ma0ris are descandents of
ancient Israel may be mentioned the
fact that even in the days Of their
darkest idolatry they maintained be-
lief In the existence of q supreme Be-
ing, and had traditions IN regard TO the
creation, the food, the sacrifice OF Abra-
ham and other events mentioned in sa-
cred history
one Of the most common customs
among the South Sea islanders. which
Is doubtless OF israelltsh origin. Is
that Of expressing their grief over the
death OF their loved ones By Mailing.
This practise which Is called "tangi."
not only prevails al the time Of the
death but Is sometimes INDUCED In In
a formal manner, on special occasions,
particularly on the meeting OF friends
or relatives long after the death. Mark
the similarity OF this custom 10 that
alluded 60 hy Jeremlah "Call for the
mourning women, that they may come:
and let them make haste and take up a
walling for as, that our eyes may run
down with tears, and our eyelids gush
out with waters"
The spirituality Of the people and
their ready comprehension Of and will

Special Correspondence.
Mount Pleasant, Sanpete Co., Feb. q.
AT an extra session Of the city coun-
ell held last evening a special election
was decided upon for the purpose Of
deciding the waterworks question and
the bonding of the city for that purpose
The election is called for March 81
While many of our citizens favor the
city putting In waterworks there Is a
vast difference OF opinion as TO the
method of getting the water and where
from, and also the kind Of pipe to be
used iron or wooden.
There are many, however, who are
opposed to bonding the city, or even to
the waterworks system In any manner,
but 1t is believed this class Is in a mi
norlty, and that t.e waterworks propo-
sition will be carried by q good ma
jority.
