French Annexation.

Advices have reached Auckland from
Raratonga, one of the Cooks Islands,
which report that French agents are,in
triguing for the annexation of the group.
The natives on the islands of Mangia
and Aitutaxi, of the same group, are
alarmed at the action of the agents and
have prepared a petition to Her Majesty
Queen Victoria, which was dispatched
three weeks ago, praying that Great
Britain would assume control of the
islands.
The French war vessels stationed at
Raiatea, one of the Friendly Group
which has recently come under the pro-
lection of France, maintain strict
blockade OF the ports, with the result
that external trade is at standstill.

haps the Legislature failed in duty in
this respect, for there is no question that
the constant and long continued cry of
the people for relief upon these matters
is worthy of examination and attention.
1t is noteworthy that no landlords or
land owners have ever petitioned for
relief, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they are quite able to take care OF
themselves.

OF CALIFORNIA, PERMANENT CHAIR
MAN OF THE REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.

When shortly after one p. m. on
Wednesday Mr.. Estee stood up to
speak as Permanent Chairman of the
National Republican Convention of
1888, the delegates saw before them a
large man with full beard and a
high broad forehead. His speech,
which was brief, was well received.
Mr.. Estee is Pennsylvania by
birth. He is fifty years of age, and is
distinguished lawyer on the Pacific
slope. Another claim to distinction
besides his success as a lawyer and
his oratorial gifts is his being the
largest vine and fruit grower in Cali
fornia, with the exception of Senator
Leland Stanford.
His preference is understood to be
for Mr.. Blaine as presidential candi-
date, but he will give hearty support
to the party candidate, whoever he
may be.

Each lash is a diabolic symptom. No
comfort in eating, misery afterwards,
little or broken rest at night, vista
tiOns of the nightmare during fitful in
tervals of sleep, an uprising unre-

nervousness and irritability of tenn

cases. Hard to bear all this. Neces-
sary? No! thousand times no, so
long as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the nations specific for indigestion
acute or chronic, is procurable. The
commencement of course of this
medicine is the commencement of a

MONDAY. June rs, '83
AFTER SUNDAY, WHAT?

The Chicago convention is this morn
ing the observed of all observers.
Friday it demonstrated the impossi-
bility of nominating Sherman. Satur-
day it did the same thing for Harri-
son. Sundays rest will develop its
fruition today. At present all is at
sea. Blaine's forces are strongly en-
trenched in their scattering policy,
and it only remains to be seen how
far they will be able to concentrate
against all opposition when they de-
eide to make an aggressive move
ment. 1t is Blaine against the field,
and Blaine will not be nominated if
any concerted movement in favor of
Allison, Alger or Gresham can be en-
gineered. If not, Blaine becomes the
forlorn hope of the convention and
will be nominated. When the con-
vention comes to it's first ballot this
morning the results of Sundays COM
binatiOns will be manifest. The even
ing session of Saturday merely demon
strated that no unison of movement
was then possible. DeYoung's idea
that the committee of counsel was not
assembled to laud candidates but to
see which one among them all was
the strongest before the people, is the
one that seems to govern the mind of
the convention. And so long as this
is its disposition and this fact
is kept in the ascendant there
will be no trouble about the
result. The only fear nowis of nomi-
nation that may sour the friends of
defeated candidates, for all such con-
tests naturally leave little sore
ness behind. The advices which
reach us from the body of the conven-
ton lead to very strong belief that
the friction of the convention will not
survive its adjournment, and that all
the work of the convention will be
eventually such as to reconcile its
antagonisms and harmonic all its
SSIiiClllS. ~ lnOSt
indispensable to the ultimate success
OF the campaign. Certain it is that no
such convention has hitherto been
held in this country. No leading can
didates. No one of all mentioned COM
ing sufficiently near a nomination to
cause real anxiety to any other. The
possibilities of the situation are simply
Infinite and to the participates in
the stirring scenes of the convention
hall as well as to the onlooker at this
remote post, all is chaotic. The specu-
latlons of press correspondents add no
element of certainty to the situation
and it is safe to say that no one will
really know much concerning the
probability of the outcome until that
outcome comes out in the demonstra-
ton of the final ballot.

THE Bastrop Advertiser has the
whole thing down fine. In its latest
issue it says its little piece concerning
labor movements in Texas, as follows:
1.-THE Southwest, published at Fort
Worth, is trying to become the organ
of the labor movement (sO-called) in
the state. 1t will be found that the
laboring men of Texas are satisfied
with the democracy and are not going
to go off after false gods"
Will the Advertiser explain to it's
constituency then the meaning of the
labor convention called to meet at
Fort Worth on the 9Th of July, to
nominate state ticket and put forth a
state platform. Finding no hope of
redress from the democracy of the
country, they state to be the reason
for this action.

William Walter Phelps, an eloquent
New Jersey Congressman, is spoken
of as likely to be nominated for the
Nice-Presidency. He was born in
New York City in the year 1888. In
1860 he was graduated from Yale Col
lege, and three years later received
the degree of LII. B. at the Columbia
College Law School. In 1868 he re-
tired from the practice of the law. He
was elected to seat in the Forty
third Congress in the year 1872. In
1880 he was chosen a delegate-at-larg
from New Jersey to the Republican
National Convention at Chicago. The
following year he was appointed by
President Garfield United States
Minister to Austria, which position he
resigned in 1882. The same year he
was elected to the Forty-eighth Con-
gress. He has been member of the
House of Representatives ever since
that date.
Mr.. Phelps, is man of large means,
and lives in elegant style at Engle-
wood, New Jersey. He possesses
marked independence of character, as
exhibited in his letter to j. Warren
Keifer, ex-speaker of the house of rep
resentatives at Washington, asking
that gentleman to withdraw his can
didacy for renewal of the honor. Pro-
lection and its great apostle Mr..
Blaine, have no more earnest friend
than William Walter Phelps.
