AN ISLAND REPUBLIC.

The reprint article, under the
above heading, from the San Fran
cisco Bwlletin, which appears in
our issue to-day, gives much bet
ter view of social conditions and
opinions on these Islands than we
are accustomed to read in the
columns of our big foreign contem-
poraries. 1t is true that very large
contributions of money and laborers
have been made by the religious
bodies of the States for civilizing
and Christianizing the Islands, and
1t is no less true that the lax ways
which have crept into the admins
tration" would, if not vigorously
opposed, in very short time, undo
all the Outstanding and civilizing
which have been accomplished and
the heather practices of past ages
would be restored, and to them
would be supcradded the more re-
fined depravity of the worst phases
of perverted civilization.
In the United States, and other
countries possessing complete con-
stitutional systems, and healthy
tone of public opinion, an erratic
administration can be brought to
book, but in this Kingdom, large
number of the so-called representa-
tives are virtually the personal pro-
perty of the administration, being
civil service officials, and the tone
of public opinion is very well eX-
pressed by our trans-Pacitic name
sake, e,-"As for the natives of most
of these islands, they do not care
bauble who governs them, so they
are left to their ways The Cab
met is therefore practically beyond
the reach of those corrective in
Auences which bear directly upon
governments in other countries.
The ideas advanced in the article
referred to, that 4 great Inter-Island
Republic may be formed here, either
independently or by annexation to
some other power, may be worth
taking into serious consideration at
some future day. AT present,
events are not ripe for transferring
the matter from the arena of Jour-
nalistic speculation to the field of
practical politics. The Inter-Island
Republic is something very pretty
for newspaper men to dream about,
but the present social structure of
this Kingdom is of too heterogeneous
a character to admit of any radical
changes in our autonomy or in our
relations to other powers. The first
and greatest task before the states
men of Hawaii, if there arc any, is
to secure for the Kingdom free and
independent representative institu-
tions. When public opinion acquires
sufficient momentum to effect the
present much needed reforms, it
will have developed some of the
necessary qualifications for dispos-
ing of questions of great national
import.

A special despatch to the Provi-

that a portion of Sir John Mac
donald, the Canadian Premier's,
business in the metropolis is to con-
fer with Lord John Manners, the
Imperial Postmaster-General, at the
latter's desire, on the subject of
subsidizing the Canadian Pacific
Railway for conveying the British
mails to India, China and Australia.
This looks promising for Honolulu
becoming port of call, in the near
future, for another very important
line of steamships, accompanied,
perhaps, with measure of reci-
procity providing for a free exchange
of Hawaiian products with at least
the coal and lumber of the Dominion
of Canada.

Wild Man in the Mountains

Much excitement has been ere.
ated in the neighborhood of Leba
non, Oregon, recently over the dis
covery of wild man in the noun
tains above that place, who is sup
posed to be the long lost John Mae
kentire. About four years ago Mac
kentire of Lebanon, while out hunt
ing in the mountains east Of Albany
with another man mvsterl ously dis
sapeared and no definite trace OF
him has ever yet been found. A
few days ago a Mr.. Fitzgerald and
others. while hunting in the yicin-
ity of the butte known as Bald
Peter, situated in the Cascades,
several miles above any settlement
saw a man resembling the toughest
man, entirely destitute Of clothing,
who had grown as hairy as an ami
NAL, and was a complete wild man.
He was eating the raw flesh OF a
deer when first seen, and they APP
preached within a few yards before
he saw them and fed. Isaac Banty
saw this man in the same locality
about two years ago. 1t is believed
by many that the unfortunate man
who was lost became deranged and
has managed to find means of sub
sistance while wandering about in
the mountains, probably finding
shelter in some cave. A party of
men is being organized to 60 in
search Of the man.

BUTLER'S SHORTAGE.

It is now claimed that there is a
long shortage in the accounts of
Ben Butler.
The report of the House Mill
tary Committee of the last Con-
gress on the financial condition and
ganeral management of the Nation
al Soldiers Home has just been
printed. 1t is voluminous docu-
ment, and the feature that attracts
attention is an alleged shortage in
the accounts of General B. f. But
Ter, as the former acting Treasurer
of the Home. General Rosecrans.
Chairman of the Military Commit
tee of the last house, who conduct
ed the investigation, in talking on
the subject to-day, said, that
in collecting the fiscal and other
reports Of the management, a hia-
tus of about one year and half
was discovered. When the Demo
cratic officials on the Board of
Management and the new Board, in
endeavoring to square the past f.
nances, showed that period of about
one year and a half not accounted
for, General Butler was communi-
Gated with, and some Of the dis
crepancies were explained; but
there remains, according to the
committees finding, shortage OF
something over 1920, 1000. General
Rosecrans says the cash amount APP
pears to be about $4,000 short, and
that there is a shortage of over
100000 in bonds, counting the par
value Of the bonds. This amount
will be increased by estimating the
bonds at their market value at the
time of the supposed sale. Cen
eral Rosecrans thinks that the pre-
sent Congress will take cognizance
of the apparent deficit, and that
the Courts will probably be restor-
ed to, to finally compel a settlement.
General Butler has written letter
sharply criticising the committee
for allowing the statements from
their report to be published reflect
ing on his integrity before they re-
ceived his reply cAreto.
Time and time again charges of
a like nature have been brought
against Ben Butler and he has dis
proved them every one.
The APPEAL has always believed
in the personal honesty of Ben
Butler and ventures the assertion
that he will come clear handed out
of this investigation.
