Mr.. EDITOR: "Veritas Preva-
lebit" in Wednesday evenings
Bulletin, seems to think that do
not wish the natives to have JUS
tice done to them, by the United
States Government. Nothing could
have been wider Of the mark than
this thought, and one of my strong |
est reasons in favor of annexation,
is, that the natives will have their
true ri gifts and liberties more res
pected under the American flag, |
than under any other.
They will not be allowed in the
future, however, to endanger the
capital invested in this country, as
they have done in the past, and
will have to allow the rights of
others, besides themselves, to be
respected.
That they have had every
chance to successfully govern their
native country, no one can deny,
and that they have utterly failed
= in doing so, is universally admit
/ ted by all persons Of common
sense.
Y Would there be more justice
shown to the natives then, in al
4 lowing them to continue to mis-
govern their country, and rule or
ruin, as they desire to, than to
make the stability of the Govern
ment unquestionable, by making
it part of the American Union,
and who will have more rights Mr..
Editor, than the natives after an
nexation takes place.
Il How much did the natives think
S about the "rights" of others on
r January 18th last, when they tried
to persuade the then Queen, to
choke the best people here, with a
new constitution that would allow
them to play the fiddle and dance,
while the taxpayers could pay
for it.
Justice to the natives, fair play,
etc., sounds very good, but the
United States Government will no
IN doubt take ALL of the facts into
OF their consideration, when deciding
u, the question of admitting Hawaii
into the Union.
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, fol
the space allowed me in your valu'
able paper. TRUTH.
Mr.. EDITOR: Will you please
allow the space for the publication
of the correspondence herewith
which the Holomua would no
On publish but instead gave a very
h, lame excuse for damning the nam'
to of the Portuguese colony.

WHAT IS called at the Treasury De
partmentin Washington the'conscience
fund" that is the fund that has accum-
ulated there as the result of the prompt
ines of the conscience of northern
thieves to return the money they have
stolen from the government, is not IN
creasing as rapidly as it did some years
AGO. But still notice of the fact that a
donation TO that fund has been made is
occasionally seen in the newspapers.
It seems, however, that those only who
have robbed the government are sub
iect to such pricks of conscience as
those referred to. Certainly none OF
the many valuable articles stolen from
this Office by northern thieves, before
they burnt it, during the war between
the States, has ever been returned, and
as thirty years have since elapsed, the
strong probability is that none of them
ever will be. The conscience of those
who hold them is evidently either
asleep or dead.

A SUPPORTER of the high tariff tax,
and therefore an opponent of an income
tax, says the imposition of the latter
"would be putting a penalty on thrift
and industry. 1t would punish success
and restrict enterprise" And yet hui
man nature is Interchangeable, and it
would be only human nature if every
sane man in the country, not subject to
such a tax, would be constantly striv-
ing to render himself so, and in as
short a time as possible. The fact that
there would be necessity for an in
come tax if the tariff tax Cd the neces-
saries of life were removed, should of
itself alone be sufficient to secure the
repeal of the Mckinley bill without
further delay.

The Behring Sea Decision.

PARIS, Aug. 15.-The decision of the
Behring sea tribunal of arbitration
was handed down at 11:07 o'clock this
morning. The five points of arti-
Gle in reference to the use of nets, fire.
arms or explosives in fur sealing
are decided against the United
States. A close season is established,
to begin May 1 and to continue until
July 81. This close season shall be
observed both in the north Pacific
ocean and in Behring sea. A protected
zone is established extending for 60
miles around the islands. Pelagic
sealing is allowed outside the zone in
Behring sea from August l. The use
of firearms in sealing is prohibited.
The American arbitrator have ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the text
of the decision. Baron de Courcel,
president of the tribunal, after the de-
cision was rendered, thanked the arbi-
traitors for the close and intelligent at
tention they had brought to bear upon
the case. Lord Hammer and Senator
Morgan in replying to the president,
acknowledged his courtesy and hospi-
tality. The American arbitrator be-
lieve that the regulations decided up
on mean practically the end of pelagic
sealing, and that they are better terms
than were heretofore offered to the
United States by Great Britain as a
settlement of the question involved.

LOOKED AT in the light ofhuman ma
tnre il is not at all wonderful that the
populists are being reinforced by many
who have heretofore voted the demo-
cratic ticket. The democratic party
promised the people that it would, at
the earliest practicable moment, repeal
the Mckinley tariff bill and remove the
tax that bill imposes upon the many
poor who cannot afford to bear it, and
lay it upon the few rich who can
Nearly six months have elapsed since
the democratic administration, elected
upon that promise, came into power,
and vet not only has no attempt been
made to fulfill it, but even the tax on
Colombian and Venezuelan coffee and
hides, imposed not by Congress, but by
ex-President Harrison, and which can
be removed by President Cleveland
with stroke of his pen, is allowed to
remain and to raise the price OF the
necessaries of life referred to. 1t is not
at all unnatural that men once deceived
by those to whom they have entrusted
their affairs should be easily induced to
seek other agents.

REPRESENTATIVE RAYNER of Balti

REPRESENTATIVE RAYNER OF Balu-
more, democrat, says she is not in the
slightest degree disturbed or intimidat-
ed by the glittering catchwords OF po-
litical conventions" Ifmen who take
part in political conventions be not
bound to support the platforms OF those
conventions, for certainly as good q
reason they are not bound to support
the nominees thereof, and therefore
neither the rhyme nor reason Of such
conventions is apparent. But the ma
iority of right thinking people do not
agree with Mr.. Rayner on the subject
referred to, and if the managers OF the
democratic party deem the declarations
ofthe Chicago platform "glittering catch
words" that have no binding effect, the
men whose votes put that party in pow
err, upon the promises contained IN that
platform, will have good cause to be-
lieve that they have been grossly de-
ceived. and will be very likely, at the
next election, to withdraw their sup
port from it, and vote for party that is
wise and bold enough to stand by the
principles of that platform, no matter
bv what name it may be called.

The continued business depression is felt
nowhere more sensibly than by the govern
ment. It's revenues rise and fall in touch
with business So far this month its receipts
are three million dollars less than last month
and during the past three days the falling of
has been very heavy. business men are tax
ing out of bonded warehouses rs fresh goods
as possible, while importers have not only
curtailed their imports but are taking ad-
vantage of all the delay possible in paying
custom duties. At the present rate the Treas
ury receipts will not be over S2l ,OOO,0 Oo for
the month, instead of $35, 100000 as esti-
mated,
