HAWAII.

It is understood that t’nclcjSam will adopt Hawaii and |make it a territory. Those (who profess to know say that iPresident Harrison and his \cabinet have about concluded 1on this arrangement and the jCommissioners from Hawaii ,are correspondingly happy. ■The main source of the !trouble at 1 lawaii seems to ,have been that Oueen Liliuok-;;alani had visited b'urope and ,got her head turned by the ideference paid to royaltythere. She had seen the snob- Jbishness, the toadyism, the igetting down and crawling of 1civilized white men before the Isovereigns of Kurope. Ihe ikings anil queens treated her jfor the time as one of them- ,selves. It amused them to do <so. but it spoiled Liliuokalani ]for plain working life. She idetermined to be as absolute 1a despot as the czar ofRussia. !She hated the whites, particu- ilarly Americans, because they Jopposed this in the interestsof their own lives and pro-perty. The constitution whichshe endeavored to fix upon |the people abolished altogeth-er the house of nobles, or 'upper house of the legislature, jto which many of the foreign- 1ers belonged. The legislature jconsisted of two houses of 24 1members each, representatives 1and nobles. I

The new constitution which 1Liliuokalani intended to pro- 'mulgate deprived all white 1men of the right to vote and 'left the appointment and dis ijmissal of judges of the su ipreme court wholly in the I’hands of the queen, limiting!,them to a 6-year term besides. 11

There is no doubt that if 'the natives alone had beenconsulted in the matter they 1would have preferred to givejjLiliuokalani all the power shewanted, to the exclusion ofi l“foreigners," as all the white!men are called, though their!ancestors have been in Hawaii(or generations. But that is ijust what the white men would ;not endure. They had too ,many business interests at ;stake to permit it. Their lives! jwould perhaps have been endangered besides from adrunken native mob. Thej|Kanakas are giving up to 1drunkenness in a frightfuldegree, and this and other jvices of civilization are wiping ! jthem surely off the earth. Sol,it comes about that 1 lawaiians! 1themselves have really littlesay in the matter of whether .they shall be annexed. They 1probably will not mind it much |one way or the other.

A mektinu of the Peninsula JPress Association will be heldin Dover, on Tuesday. Febnary 2Xth, at one o'clock, forthe purpose of electing dele-gates to the meeting of theNational Kditorial Associationwhich will be held in Chicagoon May 16th next and continuetwo weeks.

I iik action of city commiss-ion men in demanding thatgrowers of small fruits on theDelmarvia Peninsula shallship their produce in “giftcrates," not to be returnedhas raised a big stir, and justly so. in some of the uppercounties on the shore. This isa matter into which our berrygrowers should investigate,and operate, if possible withother sections of the peninsu-la in opposition to the demand.All know that owing to highrates and other expenses at-tending the growth of smallfruits make them less profitable here than in other sections,and should submission to thecommission men be allowed,there would be little profit inthe business. To say the leastthe matter should be lookedinto before the crops areready for shipment, and thoseinterested should call a meeting and appoint a committeeto investigate. 1 lie columns ofthe Messenger are open toour farmers for calling a meet-ing for discussing the matter.

Great preparations arebeing made for the inauguration of President Cleveland.It is to be hoped the weatherwill be propitious.

If it is to Ik* done, itshonld bo dotn* systematically ami witha definite perjs -••>. To illustrate what ismeant The Poultry Yard explains thus:

Suppose a tanner lias a flock of mediumsized common fowls. He is so situatedthat heran raise spring chickens profit-ably. and has a good market for dr-ssedpoultry all the year round. We shonldadvise him in sne-h circumstances to pur-chase ofsome faneii r one ■ r two LightBrahma cooks and put with 1 is liens.Snob fowls can Is- bought for a reason-able sum. As a result of thiscross therewill lie a decided improvement in thesize, the quality of the flesh, and in theuniform and fine np|iearanco of theflock.The extra profit from sneh a flock willpay many times over for the little extraex]ien •in buying the pure bred cooks.The same cm-ks can In- used frass-onilyear, or other birds of a different strainmay take their places.

The third year it will Ik* best to makean entire change of blood. We wouldsuggest that Wh’teLeghorn rocks shouldnow Ik* introom-oil in place of the Brah-mas. As a result of this cross we shouldget good, fair sized, plump lushed fowls,cml most excellent layers nn<l very uni-formly feathered birds. After using theLeghorn cocks two years the Brahmacross may Is* made again, and so on in-definitely. irtheis rson prefers.PartridgeCochins may be alternated with BrownLeghorns or Plymouth Bocks with Dom-iniques. Li tan experiment of this kindhave a fair trial, and we lielieve there isno farmer who will not admit that itI>ays to buy thoroughbred fowls. Weare writing now for such |H*rsons as areaver, e to the expense ofstocking entirt lywith pure Brahmas. Leghorns. PlymouthHocks or some other standard breed.

Salt for rig*.

An English veterinary expresses him-self as follows on the subject of saltingpigs:

Personally I would not allow a freesupply, which is what putting a lump inthe trough means, and especially to inpig or stickling sows or very young an-imals. Salt is dccideiilv injurious ifgiven to pigs in large quantities andleads to a condition that is descrilied assalt jioiannitig. A little will do no harmperhaps to 1irgi* pigs, lint whether it isprejudice or In-cause exjKTience has dem-onstrated that it i bad for the animalssalt is never placed in the piggery. Thecases where 1 have seen salt do mischief jis where brine from the pickle tub has |been mixed with the wash, butcher'swaste and that from hotels commonlycontaining far t>> lunch. The samethings’ppliez to Mid:*., which often getsinto tin* wash when dishwater is emptiedinto it.

1 strongly advise against the use ofsalt for suckling sows—any one may bidgoodl y to the youngsters if they get anyquantity. Kv< .ithe liquor ill which saltmeat has luva 1 oiled has been known toupset them. A far greater essential forpigs than salt is small coal or other grit.It is useful also where pigs do not getthe liberty if a run to cut smls of turfwith plenty of soil adhering and throwthem in the jk-u.

A Negro Who Ma> be InnocentI fragged Out and Lynched.

Cn vitanimm. Te\n„ Feb.14—l itis city is intensely ex-cited to night over an outragecommitted this morning uponMrs. M. A. Moore, a highlyrespected widow, by a negrowho found the lady alone inthe house. His victim is fiftyone years old. and the motherof seven grown children.

A negro. Andy Blount, wassubsequently arrested on sits

picion, but Mrs Moore is indoubt whether he is the man.Neighbours, however, believehim guilty. The negro protests his innocence, and an investigation In a number olleading citizens indicates thathe speaks the truth. At eighto'clock to night the jail wassurrounded by hundred head-strong citizens determined tolynch the negro.

At 10.30o'clock tonight aninfuriated mob battered downthe doors of the county jail,and finally forced their wayinto the cell where Blount thesuspected rapist, was confined.Despite the protests of thejail officials ami many leadingcitizens, they took the negrodown to the big bridge whichcrosses the Tennessee river.His lifeless corpse now dang-les from one of the Arches.

Sentiment is almost evenlydivided as to the man's guilt.
