full of the soul of the gospel,
presented in his clear, earnest
logical way, and w'tbal. in the
tender and loving spirit, of the
??beloved disciple." The house

Or Vaccination.
Small-pox is a dangerous epi
demic if not properly treated
and the fact that it is breaking
out in many parts of tbe country,
especially in Indiana. Ohic. and
PenuGylv?nia, calls for prompt
cc'ioa on the part of Bo. ids of
Health. It al o prevails es'en
sive'y in Eu one, and manifests
au unusual eadenoy everywhere
to break oyer offic'dlconUol ana
assume an epidemic John.
,"Portub;?te.,y" says a promin
ent physician "the method of
p evonlion is as certain in its ac
tion as it i3 cheap and easy to
obtain. Vaccination and re vac
?cinai.'on. properly done, with re
liable virus, is a certain preven
tive, and is entirely free from
danger This is the conclusion
of the scientific world, after foil
investigation and large experi
ence, and may be thoroughly re
lied upon.
Notwithstanding that t his safe
cheap and perfect protection is
within reach of all, it is estimat
ed that futly one-bal* of the peo
ple of ibis State have never
ava 'ed themselves of it. Intel
ligent persons should not wait
for the law to force, them to an
evident duty. No one should al
low himself, or any one for whom
he is responsible, to remain un
vaccirated at any t'mc. and
especially in the . face of present
danger. Health and school board,
everywhere should co-operate in
requiring vaccination as a condi
tion of admission to all schools.

THE HAWAIIAN 1NKAMT.
(Now Yiirk Sun (Horn.) R?
I. Queen Liliuokalnni ami her
advisors plot, for tho overthrow
of tho Hawaiian Constitution of
1887.
II. The most intelligent and
progressive part of tho popula
tion revolts. ovorthrows tho mon
arch, and establishes a provision
al Government.
III. Tho Provisional Govern
ment welcomed bv General Mar
rlson, is recognized by Mr. Cleve
land. for he appoints a Minister
to it and issues exequaturs to its
Consuls.
IV. This Provisional Govern
ment, prevented by Mr. Cleve
land's act from concluding a
treaty with tho United States, is
in a sound financial condition and
maintaining public order when
V. Mr. Cleveland decides that
is mist be overthrown.
Thus the United States are to
be a party to the restoration of a
monarchy which foil as a result
of royalists plots against tho
Constitution of 188?; and tho
Qrteenis to be put back into the
position from which she was dls
loged by a revolution represent
ing the civilization of the islands,
and caused by a just apprehension
of illegality and violence on tho
part of the Queen herself.
Supposing that the great com
mercial and navul importance of
the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States did not exist, leuv
tfteu. out of cpnsiderat'on alto
gether, what call and what justi
fication could this country tind
for using its power to crush a
fi.-m and stable government,
lViii.ided just as our own Govern
ment was founded, upon a revolt
against mononarcbiai;agg > ession.
Wliotrxnte Arrests.
West,Virginia, has for several
years led the United States so
far as the number of prosecutions
for illicit liquor selling ure con
cerned, aad the following from
this week's Huntington Adverti-.er
certainly shows that she is keep
ing up her record:
"Two hundred aud ten more
moonshiners and witnesses, un
der guard of fifty or more United
States deputy marshals arrived
here Sunday night over the
p.untin<?ton and Big Sandy rail
road from points on the line of
'the Norfolk and Western railroad
They were housed at the Mer-.
chants, Miller and Huntington
hotels, until tnis morning when
they were hustled out to the
Chesapeake and Ohio depot and
shipped on to Charleston for
trial before tjie United States
Court now it> session.
This last contingent will swell
the representation of revenue
violators already under arrest to
upwards of five hundred.The ex
pense incurred in the arrest and
prosecution of these men is some
thing tremendous.
Some of the parties arrested
and brought in are in a pitiable
condition. Seven women accom
panied the party brought down
Sunday. They are held as wit
nesses, and are wives of the par
ties under arrest"
