1886, referred to the action of our Consul
in that year accepting Malietoa's request
for an American protectorate, and added
that the presumption of the Consul in ex-
tending the protectorate had resulted in
his recall and in declination to act as the
King desired. In 1886, King Kalakaua,
of the Hawaiian Government, sought to
form an alliance with Malietoa, but was
repalsed. In 1887 Harold Sewell, Of
Maine, was made United States Consul at
Apia. All that year German movements
proved the desire of Germany to control
the Islands single-handed and alone.
When the news caEle last year that the
Germans had deposed Malietoa, it de-
velopeS that in the treaty of 1878, be-
tween England, Germany, the United
States and Samoa, the latter had reserved
the right, in case of trouble with powers
in anity with the United States to claim
the protection of the American flag.
In August, 1887, Germany laid charges
against Malietoa of various offenses and
assaults upon Germans, and demanded
a sum of money of him il compensation,
and insultingly added: "There has been
nothing just or correct in Samoa in all the
days you have ruled" The King replied
that he would consult his Government,
and Immediately fled. Thereupon the
German marines came ashore and began a
house toulouse search for him, conducted
with rudeness and cruelty; even Ameri-
cans were assaulted and insulted, and their
houses entered and furniture broken and
tossed out. Tennessee arrived presently,
according to programme, and was installed
King by the German men-of-wars men.
Consul Sewall issued his orders for Ameri-
cans to remain neutral; Consul Wilson, of
England, united with him in a proclama-
| ton refusing to recognize Tennessee. In
| towns where the natives tore down Tame
| sese's proclamation, German troops were
sent and the villages plundered and
burned in punishment. In the United
States and England the action of Germany
was holly denounced. Finally, Malietoa
was induced to surrender to the German
commander, who took him to &ew Guinea.
The ousting of Tennessee, under demand
of the Powers" the restoration of the
legitimate King, the new rebellion by
Tennessee, the continued opposition of
Germany to increasing American and Eng
lish trade in the islands, and now the
trouble referred to in the outset, are the
latest developments in this matter in the
South seas. In the whole affair, it must
be confessed, the United States Govern
ment has played at least peaceful part,
though much put upon by the pushing
Germans, whose eye to business and desire
to promote colonization lead them to con-
tinue in the endeavor to possess one of the
finest group of volcanic islands in the

A LAST APPEAL.

This number of the DAILY INDIE
PENDENT is the last one that will 60 in
to the hands of our readers previous to
the great struggle for political supre-
macy which takes place tomorrow.
We desire to make one last appeal to
the voters of tho county to consider
we'll their own interests in casting their
ballots on the 9th of November. In
contradiction 10 the prophecies Of the
Republican party four years ago, when
they predicted such dire cula nifty to the
nation in the event of the election of q
Democratic President, we have only to
point to the administration of Grover
Cleveland. As an answer to the charge
that regulation of the excessive tariff
duties would reduce the wages of work
ingmen, we would call your attention to
the fact that wages are higher in un-
protected than in protected industries.
and that laborers receive better wages
in Free Trade England than in highly
Protected Germany. In refuting the
claim that Cleveland is opposed to the
soldier, it is Only necessary to refer to
the records of the Pension Department
to prove that more money has been
paid for pensions during the present
administration than was paid during
any Republican administration that
preceded it. AS to the question of Chi
nese immigration, we can only refer
you to the fact that during all these
years of Republican rule the Monaghan
horde was poured upon our shores
through the aid of Republican apathy
and Republican vetocs, and it waa left
to the Democratic party and Demo-
cratic President to exclude the objec-
tionnble class from competition with
the American laborer through the pass.
age of the Scott Exclusion Bill.
Finally, rs to our State aud County
| ticket, we believe that we have q super
Tor list of applicants for the various Of
fees, and we believe careful COM
parison will prove the fact to any I'M
| biased vote=, hence we have no hesita-
ton i'll asking the cordial support at
the ballot box, of all citizens who have
the welfare of the Nation, the State and
the County at heart, for the Democratic
ticket in this year of grace, 1888.

DISREPUTARLE POLITICS.
Charges Against Judge SeaweIl
Rcfutcd.

The Virginia City Enterprise. which
cluims to be the lending Republican
newspaper of Nevadn, is suid to be prin-
cipally owned by the Virginia & Truckee
Railroad Company. In common with
nearly all the corporation organs it up
holds Inonopolies, which, of course, it
has M indisputabe right to do. In.
doing so, however, it traduccs thu un-
blemished reputation of Judge Senwsll,
who, M Judge of the Third judicial
District of Nevada, earned n reputation
of which he has just ca use to feel proud
Opposed to Judge Seawell is the candi-
date of the v 81 r. r. r., and the En-
terprise, the organ of that corporation,
feels That it is its duty to advance the
interest of its candidate, tt ough it has
TO resort to Misrepresentation to do 80.
A few days ngo, on the eve of an cleo
ton which is to decide whether the Cam
didate of the corporation or the nominee
of the masses is to be elected to judi
cial Office, the Enterprise published
what purports to be, extracts from u
private letter, in which Judge Seawell
is represented saying that 80 per day
was all u man ought to have, and That
in January, 1874, several men went to
work on the Antelope mine for Judge
Seawell; that they were informed that
he could not pay 81 per day, but would
pay 80 per day. and. on completion Of
certain work, which would drain the
| mine of water, which cove ed the ore,
the balance of the Sd per day would be
paid from the proceeds; and that the
men worked ia days. tapped the water
md uncovered the ore. after which
Judge Seawell closed the mine, and did
not pay the men the balance OF their
wages.
On the authority of Judge Seawell,
the Virginia Chronicle denounces those
| statements M malicious falsehoods, and
that at no time did he say that 50 pc,
| day was oil II mau ought to have, and in
refutation of the charge that he did not
pny the men who worked in the An e.
lope, he has receipt in full from tho
miners, n copy Of which is published in
the Chronicle, m is also copy Of tbs
contract under which they went to
| work
Respectable men, whatever their pc.
litical opinions may be, says the Silver
| State, cannot coupteuance such disre.
putnbe methods Of making points for
candidates few days before election,
when tho person misrepresented does
not have time TO contradict them. The
Office Of Judge Of tho Supreme Court
is not political, aud both candidates for
the position have so publicly declared
, throughout the State. Both have pre-
sided in the Third District Court, and
have made records, which are published
in the Nevada Reports. These records,
which are subjects for Legitimate cri;i-
cisrn, are, or should be, in every law

One sees many curious things in ma
ture, and nowhere is there ANYTHING
stranger to be found than among certain
species of the vegetable kingdom. There
is to be seen IN the yard Of {. +. Stilson
a Towering curiosity. 1t is what is
known as I black lily. When it first
blooms it is black, but gradually fades to
a dark purple. 1t is bulbous, the same
as other members of the genus ~lileicea.
The flower is something of the shape of a
Gala, but much larger, being some six.
teen inches across the top by ten inches
in breadth. 1t is serrated around the
edges. The pistil emanates from a pouch
about ten inches in depth, and is itself
some fifteen inches long by nearly All
average width OF an inch, and is perfectly
black. But the most curious thing about
the flower is its odor, and it has lots OF
that. 1t is extremely offensive, smelling
like the decaying carcass Of a horse OF
COW. Flies swarm about the flower.
Attracted by the odor, they find theiI
way into the pouch from which the pistl
comes, and once down in there they
never get out. 1t is really worth a viai
to see it.-Chico (Cal.) Record.
