PERMANENT SETTLEMENT.

There was a pregnant sentence in
President Roosevelt's letter to the Ir-
rigation Congress recently held at Ell
Paso, over which Governor Pardee of
California presided: 1.-The best use of
the public land is that made by the
man who has come to stay
This language, which is fully elaber-
ated in the letter, shows the kind of
land policy that the administration
sustains. in conformity with the terms
and with the spirit of the National
Homestead Law. 1t is exactly COIN
cident with the policy that, for years,
the Advertiser has consistently urged
apon the land department of the Ter
ritorial government. There now ap-
pears to be some prospect that the
-.small farmer" who is a permanent
settler and voter, is to have some
uchance on these islands, and that, be-
fore the next general election, genuine
erably increased Heretofore, the lead
ing tendency, in the management of
the public lands, has been to prevent
or at least retard immigration of the
right sort and to play into the hands
of men, whose sole interest is monop-
oily and the exclusion of American
population. The enormous majority in
favor of the Republican national and
local tickets presages a closer harmony
between local and Federal administra-
ton.

THE POPE AND ITALY.

The talk in Europe about a possible
reconci,ia ton between the Vatican and
the government of Italy is largely in
spired by a growing need, in the Itali-
an kingdom, of union of all con-
sentative forces against the anarchists.
To gain this it is thought that italy
could well afford to somewhat extend
the limits of temporal sovereignty
which the Pope now enjoys. Contrary
to the general idea, the temporal power
was not destroyed by the revolution
of 1870: it was merely restricted to the
Enclosure, of the Vatican and St. Peters.
where the Papal flag has always been
permitted to fly. The right of separ-
ate jurisdiction having thus been adj
mitted, no principle would suffer by
granting little more room. All that
Plus TX asked, thirty years ago. was
the retention of one district or ward
of the city of Rome and it is now be-
heyed that Plus x would agree to com
promise on a narrow strip of land ex-
tending along the west side of the
Tiber to the sea. BY doing so he would
become free to accept the Papal sub
sidy which has been piling up in the
italian treasury for thirty years and
to travel wherever it pleased him to
go. The compensation to Italy would
be in the powerful electoral aid of the
disciplined church against the hosts of
the Red Flag. One thing that gives
Europe confidence in such union of
the Vatican and Quirinal is the good
relations which the present Pope, while
Patriarch of Venice, had with the Itali-
an authorities.

FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRACY.

The proposal is seriously made K
i dfsband the Democratic party and
form new one, thus following the
course taken by the old Wing party
which, for half a century, was the
Democracy chief opponent. For
forty-three years. except for cIeve-
lands two terms, the Democracy has
been out of power and forty-seven
years will have elapsed by the end of
| Roosevelts term. AS for the Cleve-
land interlude it hardly counts with
| many Democrats who persist in re-
garding the Sage of Princeton as a
| quasi Republican.
But it is not easy to disband a great
party unless it shall have worn out the
pa thence of it's members at a time when
| a new party, representing its highest
aspirations and embodying fresh and
inspiring issue has come into the field.
Such a union of causes accounted for
the absorption of the Wing party by
the Republican The Wings were never
formally disbanded; they were merged.
Their own party had gone wrong on
the slavery issue; the Republican party
was going right and the Wing masses
fiocked over to it. The process was
a sort of evolution. In the present case
there is no proof that the Democratic.
party has outraged the sentiments of
it's rank and file, save in its failure to-
win, and as for another party with
new and persuasive issue, there is
none to join. Simply to change the
name of the Democracy would avail no
more than to put the lions skin over
the beast of burden; for the disguise
would befool no one. AS for a change
of principles, the only popular change,
judging from the late returns, would
be to accept the Republican platform; /
and as for that, one might as well :
become 81 Republican outright. Sick
of itself as it may be, the Democracy i
has no place to go and it must perforee !
wait upon some national calamity, like !!
hard times, for the chance of victory
which accrues from public discomfort
That, we believe, is what it will do. |
In times of financial distrust men easily |
turn to the other party for relief; and !
it is fairly certain that. in the next !
few years, depressed commercial /
period will ensue. There seems to be /
nothing left for the Democracy but to
wait for it, and surely. by this time, it
has gathered great fund of patience.

PROPOSED ELECTION Or DEPUTY
SHERlFfs.

The Act proposed by Senator Achi
Y,roviding for the election of deputy
sherifs is totally inadmissible. 1t is
automatic in American policy that,
ordinarily the head of any subordinate
executive office should have the ap-
pointment of his deputies who are held
responsible to their chief. Without
this requirement, no man could safely
hold an Office of that kind The rule
is peculiarly applicable to sheriffs, who
are necessarily invested with functions
affecting property, as well as individual
safety. and. in many cases. have to
act with great promptness and decision
and take the risk of personal liability.
No sheriff could execute the duties OF
his Office unless invested with the
power of selection and control In
municipalities and counties throughout
the United states this proposition, it
may be probably said with truth, is
almost unanimously recognized.
The rule applies with more than or
binary force to the Territory of Hawaii
The High Sheriff acts for all the is
lands and, though within control OF
the executive department of the Ter
rftorial government, and especially OF
the Attorney General. is charged with
and held accountable for the perform
ance of maltifarious duties, usually
discovered from that Office in mainland
communities. The necessity for the
concentration of power in this officer,
commensurate with his obligations and
subject to the inspection and cooper
alton of higher departments of the
government. should be obvious to every
citizen, and, If he cannot participate
in the selection of all his subordinates |
no faithful and conscientious man dare
assume the risks which the position en-
tails The management of the police
alone must necessarily be under one
head or it could not be efficient. The /
recent changes in the Office of High |
Sheriff prove that the Territorial exec
utive possesses full power TO reVolu-
tionize the management of this most
important department, and that. in
this respect, no additional legislation

comprised town,
With the rain of fire still rafting

They have Flame and Sword at the

They have bursting shell, their paths to

And the searchlight flare to lamp their

There is Death without, there is Death
within,
For that handful brave of our human
kin;
And the words of a Scripture, stark
and dread,
Once more of the Souls in Siege are

For at morn they say. Would God it
We're night;
And at eve, Would God it were morning

For the fear of their hearts, wherewith
they fear,
And the sight of their eyes, fas the
Terror draws near!
I have dreamed an i'll dream-and this
is the worst
I dream we are wonted to War. the
Accused.
That we praise ourselves-that we laud
the Age,
While the Red Hand writes on the new
turned page,
Little we heed that, day by day,
Those doomed Defenders hold Death
at bay!
And we do not weep, and we do not
rave
When. out of the pit of that closing
grave,
A strong man takes of the World
adieu!

That the world endures Ga world, else

That these Souls in the siege of Death

total enrolment in the schools for
the year is 1857. The number en-
rolled for the month just closed
was III4idsily attendance was 764.
There were 200 Eases of tardiness
and 20 visitorf. From non-resi-
dent pupils, f45.3s tuition was col

due to the large amount of sick
ness. Measles, particularly, played
havoc with the attendance. 1t is
estimated that fully half Of the
children in the schools have had
the measles during the year.
