FRIENDLY COUNSEL The persecution
of Indians by the agent and liS facto-
tums is creating bad feeling on the res
ervation. The arrest of Robert Will
liams. the Christian preacher and leader
of civilization in the Nez perce nation,
and the venomous digging up of charges
against Indian Dick, are ofItnses which
will not readily be forgotten, either by
" hites or Indians. 1t is an unerrlng in
themselves OH this subject " hen those
living at Iapwai under the very eye OF
the agent, assisted Dick to break jail,
knocked the shackles off his feet and
furnished him horses TO escape. 1t is
an unerring indication that the Indians
know who their real friends are when
they come to our people for protection
Mr.. Monte.th may hatter himself that
he is successfully administering the a.
gency affairs, and parasitic satellites may
confirm him in the belief but we warn
him in all seriousness that he is tread
ing on dangerous ground and that it
will be wise policy on his part not to
lrespass further upon the forbearance
of The Indians. A stubborn cnntinua-
ton of his present poiiry will cause
trouble which may cost him his life.

English Elections.

LONDON, July 9th. Morley, the libera
whip said at the Reform club that
he had thrown up the sponge and
everything predicted a crushing defeat
to Gladstone, unless he obtains larger
vote than at the last election. The
conservatives are ahead owing to the
large number of contested seats. A
remarkable feature of the election is
the great decrease in the vote from last
year. Gladstone still feels confident ol
regaining all losses by the borough
elections.

THE HORSE THIEvEs.-Since the re-
capture of the thieves at the sheriff's
place on Cottonwood creek they have
been very quiet, and are less inclined
to talk than before their escape. The
door leading to the Office from which
they made their exit was not usually
kept locked, and by placing small boz
inside they were able TO scale the walls.
The sheriff was in his Office at the time
and rot five minutes elapsed before he
discovered the escape and gave the
alarm. They spent the first night in
the brush, and made for the foot-hills
above next day, slept in barn in the
lake district the next day and then
made for Cottonwood creek where they
lent the next day, until getting
hungry they went to a house to beg

one of them. An Administration that
revenue with capital, and
has no debts to pay except OF its own
creation, may make a good showing FOR
the time being, but it ensures tight
squeeze Tor IT'S successors in the not dis
tant future. Perhaps a little reflection
might induce Mr. Wilder not 70 speak in
so high key upon this point in future.
The Hon. Mr. Wilder also made an
extraordinary statement for business
man Of his recognized success and
ability. He said that the representa-
ton OF this country at the Louisville
Exhibition was the most costly mistake
or blunder that could have been COM
mitted 1t advertised these Islands too
much 1t showed the Southern people
that we could raise sugar cheaper than
they could, and sell it at their own
doors, as we have been doing Tor some
time past. And Mr.. Wilder left the i'm
preston that if We had had no exhibit at
New Orleans or Louisville, the Amerl-
can Sugar Refinery Company OF Cali
fornia would have been able to send
Hawaiian sugar to New Orleans, Louis
vile, Chicago and other Eastern points
without the refiners and planters know
inc whence it came This Is the re-
puted ostrich tactics applied to the in
dustrial enterprise of this Kingdom with
a vengeance Mr. Wilder is far too in
telligent and shrewd a man not to see
the absurdity of such an argument
against one OF the wisest expenditures
of public money that could have been
made. 1t advertised the country, and il
these days of competition among
new communities it is impossible
to get along without advertising natural
products. The more the natural pro
ductiveness and resources OF the country
are known the better it will be for the
Hawaiian Kingdom, and no good or use
full end can be served by concealment.
The Hon. Mr.. Bishop opposed the vote
upon different grounds. He did no
think it was needed, and his opinion wa
that the money could be better applied
at home. The nations who invited thu
