again vrestled with the road extension to
the Montopolis bridge.
They had before them petitions and
citizens representing Sixth, Fourth and

their streets extended.
A committee, consisting of Mr.. Pope,
Doctor Litten, Mr.. Frank Hamilton, Mr..

Tam O'Shanter.

The Tam o'Shanter entertainment last
night at Musical Union hall, by the young
ladies of the First Presbyterian church,
was most pleasant affair, and all who
attended it had a most delightful time. A
great variety of refreshments were served
to guests, and music added charms to the
occasion. The ladies managing the enter
tainment deserve much praise.

Got His Horses.

Yesterday morning the two horses
belonging to Mr.. Monroe Miller, rode Cd
by two young men Wednesday, were dis
covered few miles north of town with
saddles and brides on making their way
back home. The officers believe that the
two men rode them as far as Duval, where
they were turned loose and the men
boarded northbound freight train. They
were probably dead broke and took this
method of getting out of town.

The New Bridge,

What the people want now is good
macadamized road to the Montopolis
bridge. Of course, building the bridge
down there was gorgeous and costly
mistake but it's there, and the only thing
to do is to make roads so that it can be
reached, no matter what they cost.

TINE PROPOSED TREATY.

EproR BULLETIN an obliged

ing the proposed treaty with the
United States, and wish to say q
word or two in reply.
"Observcr" seems not 10 comprc-

make was, that the terms OF the
treaty, rs outlined in the Cabinets

and that the very conditions on
which the Government expresses it.
self az willing to secure "independ-
ence' would simply terminate our
independence. Whether or not it is
wise or desirable 10 perpetuate the
autonomy of the country on such
conditions is quite another question.
am quite aware hat the obliga-
ton, in the proposed treaty, not 10
"rescind or modify. an existing
treaty without the copssent of the
other party" is mutual" but
observer ia too intelligent not 10
know that mutual obligations be-
tween n small nation of eighty thou
sand and q great nation OF siXty-fve
millions are not what they seem.
believe that your correspondent
is in error in saying "that most ex-
sitting treaties require the consent
OF both parties in order to cancel
them" Does our own treaty Of
reciprocity with the United States
require the consent of both parties
in order to its abyogationf II so,
then we are safe.
1t certainly would be n gross
fallacy" 10 assume that knowledge
unnecessarily" means "consent"--a
fallacy which ! have not fallen into.
do say that in this case ''know-
ledge means CONSENT" and that in
the event of any such treaty being
made between the two countries
Hawaii would never dare to enter
into treaty with any other country
without the consent of the United
States, which observer" must
know full we'll.
Although admitting that "ihe
guarantee in question would protect
cur independence agains, the United
States itself as much M against any
other power" in the sense that the
United States would not interfere
with our autonomy, hold that "the
guarantee in question" Mt the same
time makes us a dependent" ex-
clusively of that country, and that
that guarantee" amounts 20 a vlr'
tual protectoratc.
fully agree with observer in
the opinion that it Is not likely thai
the proposed treaty will ever be rati
fed by the American Congress, es
peclaIly with the "bounty" clause
in it, and wonder that our Ministers
should have had the temerity to sug
gest IL, INDEPENDENCE.

POLICY OF THE PLANTERS.

EDITOR BULLETIN THE article
signed "Anti- Restriction" in the
Advertiser Wednesday morning is
significant torerunner of the sure
and certain efforts on the part of
the plantations to break down the
Chinese restriction act this coming
Legislature. 10 q large extent most
Anti.Chinese men sympathize with
the views expressed in the article in
question on the Japanese question,
and that is one reason why they are
50 anxious for the constitution to be
amended by this very next Legisla-
ture 50 that Japanese immigration
can be shut Off entirely, and what
ever Asiatics are actually needed
may be drawn exclusively from Chi
nesc to come under the constitu-
tional amendments for plantations
only. As fast then as the Portu-
guesc and mixed population grow
up here Of our own civilization, the
less and less Chinese we will need
for plantations or otherwise. The
plantations by their actions show
either that they have no policy ex-
cept to sing out for "more labor"
when they run short and to denounce
everybody who stands IN the way of
their immediate wants or else they
have. settled policy and purpose Of
throwing this country to Asla,ics.
1t is case OF sublime cheek, is it
not, to ask Christian America to
suhsidize them heavily so rs to en-
able them TO fire out everybody but
themselves and retainers and to
throw this country more rapidly to

Kohala plantation has done on it,
Moreover, the road taxes for two
years TO come will hardly be sutli-
cient to discharge the incurred debt
of S5,000--as the revenue of the
district amounts, for roads, to about
$4,000 year; in the meantime the
rest Of the district can whistle, aud
the roads and bridges will have to
keep themselves in repair, unless
next Legislature comes and helps
them out OF the muddle; but then
there will be the Polulu- Waipio
track, that will need finishing or
improving and that one is of much
more Importance than all the thor
oughfares of the district, as it opens
certain property of seven or eight
hundred acres, and so we fear there
will be no more money left for ko-
hala. We could say great deal
more on that subject, but that will
be for "mahope" if necessary.
As for schools, if comfortable
buildings and the importation by
cargoes of teachers, are improve
ments, we have to own that educa-
ton is making giant strides to per-
lection. II is o pity, however, that
the public examinations are not as
brilliant as the glowing accounts
given in The newspapers. As q
matter Of course, The Ministry's

we do not believe it, we hear from
many side, that those examina-
tons that frighten many m able
person, are but farce, as some OF
the acts of the school board are
hard TO explain; for instance, Why
