THE DAILY
THURSDAY,
NOV. %, 1889
NDENCE---THANKSGIVING.

It is seldom that two holidays
occur on the same day, as do those
of Hawaiian Independence and
American Thanksgiving today, the
28th of November Forty-six years
ago this day, by the recognition of
Hawaii as an independent nation, by
the joint action of England and
France, she, was admitted into the
family of nations, as an equal, in
one sense, of the greatest power on
earth. The President of the United
States had a few months prior to
that date, formally announced a
similar measure to Congress-, and
thus Hawaiian Independence was
recognized by three of the great
powers, and nearly all other nations
have acquiesced in it by appointing
and receiving representatives. The
good fortune that has attended Ha-
waii in this respect has been owing
chiefly to the high standing and
character of the men to whom was
entrusted the early formation of the
government, including the judiciary
which has always been the most pro-
minent feature of Hawaiian self
government. To the ability of
Messrs. Judd, Wylie, Richards, An
drews and Lee, more than to any
others is due the praise of having
laid the foundations of this govern
ment on wise and enduring basis
of constitution and laws which has
commended the respect of all ma
tions that have had dealings with
us. So long as Hawaii shall main
tain the high record which she has
hitherto preserved, with an admins
tration pledged to seek the pros
perity and growth of her people of
all classes, so long will other ma
tons continue to treat her as an
equal in their great family. It is
we'll, then, to preserve this as a
festive day, the birthday of Hawaii,
the only Independent nation in the
Pacific Ocean.
But while celebrating Hawaii's
natal day, we may most appropri-
ately join in the American festive
day of Thanksgiving, which is in
reality the great harvest home day
of America. Formerly it was kept
in various States, under proclama-
tions of their governors. But since
1862, the President has issued his
proclamation annually for observing
it as national holiday, the last
Thursday of November being always
selected for this purpose. The
growth of America, in population
and wealth, has been greater than
that of any other nation, during the
past ten years, her population being
now not far from sixty-fve millions,
made up of people from every coun-
try on the globe. While Hawaii's
growth has not been so rapid as that
of her nearest neighbor, yet the
islands and their people have pros
pered, in almost every branch of in
dustry. Well then, may all join
with the throng in thanks to the
Almighty Oliver of every good, and
praise Him for the prosperity and
peace enjoyed by the nation at large. |

The Dominion Government has
taken action which is likely to for
ward the imperial federation move
ment, by extending a formal invita-

an early date to consider the advisa-
bility of entering into reciprocal
trade relations between the British
colonies, and joint action in aid of

Important Question of Jurisdiction.

A legal question of much interest
to mariners has been before the
Supreme Court at Hongkong. In
deciding that he had Jurisdiction to
try the case, the Judge said: This
is an action in which the plaintiff
claims $1,000 for an assault alleged
to have been committed on an Ameri-
can ship on the high seas, the plain
tiff being a British subject and the
defendant an American subject. An
objection to the jurisdiction was
taken by Mr. Withers, the acting
Consul for the United States, and
certain authorities were quoted by
him in support of that objection, but
I must say, on looking over the
case and the authorities quoted.
I don't think they apply to the pre-
sent action, as most of the cases re-
ferred to were cases arising from
contracts or criminal offenses, If
both parties had been British sub
jects there would be no doubt about
the Jurisdiction of this Court, be-
cause it had been repeatedly laid
uOWA UAdU oil dCUlOu CdA 10 Iudlu-
tanned in our Courts by one British
subject against another for wrong
full act done in any foreign country,
and of course the same principle
holds good in regard to a foreign
ship on the high seas, provided that
what IS sought is damages, and pro-
v1ded also that the action could be
maintained in the foreign country.
It seems to me that principle applies
equally we'll in case like the pre-
sent one, where the plaintiff is a
British subject and the defendant a
foreigner. It is quite true there is
no direct evidence here that the
plaintiff could have brought this
action in an American Court, but it
is distinctly laid down in Scott VS..
Lord Seymore that in the absence of
any special plea or allegation that
such action cannot be maintained in
the foreign country, it must be held
to be maintainable in a British Court.
/ think this action could be main
tanned in an American Court, and I
therefore hold that it can be main
tanned here. I order pleadings and
a jury"

a triple celebration in honor of the

pointment of the first American

laymen and the dedication of the
national Catholic University at Bal
timore. The two cardinals and the
leading bishops of the Catholic
Church in America are present and
host of priests and laymen from all

In his annual report, Chief En-
gineer Melville of the Navy Depart
ment says of the second trial of the
Charleston: "The trial was unques-
tionably the best one made by any
of our new vessels, the ship having
been under full power for six hours
and the indicated horsepower de-
veloped having steadily increased up
to the end of the trial. The Chief
Engineer believes the Government
has in the Charleston a much better
vessel than was contracted for, and
he recommends remission of the
penalties"

DAYLIGHT.

Daylight, July 10, 1SS9.-The Sun
day school celebration at Bald Knob
on the 4th proved to be quite an inter-
esting affair. Owing to other gather
Jugs of the same kind in different
places there was not so many schools
present as was expected. Four schools
were represented in the meeting, viz:
Bald Knob, represented by j. L.
Hardcastle; Hickory Grove, repre-
sented by j. f. Wheeler; Pleasant
ove,represented by J. SOLVER; and
Bethlehem, represented by j. A.
Wheeler. Each representative made
a short but interesting speech. One
very interesting feature, especially to
this scribe, was the dinner, which
was bountiful.
Speeches were made by Revs. Cur
ry and Barnett, of McMinnville and
Elder f. G. Preston, of Woodbury..
Each one of these gentlemen made
quite an interesting talk on Sunday
Schools. The exercises were inter-
spersed throughout with splendid
vocal music. Certainly Sunday
School interests are growing in north

DULL TIMES.

The next two months are gener-
ally considered "dull times" by
merchants in general, and there are
but few who put enough pluck and
determination in their business to
avoid the general fate Of the ma
jority. With live and energetic
merchants there is no time to play
marbles, hunt the festive quail, or
angle for trout. Low prices will
keep every salesman at his post
with work as the watchword and
no time for play The fact that
low prices, honest dealing and good
goods is the road to success is no
secret, but the trouble is that mer-
chants have not the pluck to let
their goods 90 at small profits. A
great many merchants are still
laboring under the old constitution,
asking the Dutchman's l per cent
and selling on and years time.
Mark the rapid progress of those
who sell for short profits, for cash,
or on short times that are counted
by days instead of years. A pro-
gressive city is bound to possess
live merchants who can confne the
trade to its corporate limits, and
successfully compete with the met
ropolitan cities of the country. 1t
is true that the distance is short
ened by mails, railroads and tele-
graphs, but remember that the
same facilities that connect the
customer with the city retailer con-
meet the wide awake merchant with
the manufacturing industries of the
world.
Every corner of our three floors
is damned full Of rich bargains,
purchased at headquarters. We
have not failed to see that there is
PLACE to buy, and we do
not fail to see that there is a WAY
to sell. With the merchant who
sells as he ought to sell, there is no
dull times. Can we be your mer-
chant? Would you endorse the
merchant who was trying to sell
you goods cheaper than his COM
petitors? Which plank would
you rather place in the platform:
low prices, kinship, or obligation ?
While McMinnville is fast gaining
the reputation Of
COMING CITY
with her prospective Oil wells,
natural gas, industries and vast re-
sources, it would be well for all to
lend a helping hand to the mer-
chants who are trying, through just
means, to establish our mountain
city as trading center, and there
by return the benefit to those who
have helped us in selling them
goods bought at factories, as cheap
as any retailer in the limits of Ten
nessee would dare to sell them. If
we will all work for our town, pa
tronize home industries, keep our
money at home and encourage
home industries, we will all enjoy
a great season of prosperity.
