Two Thousand Out.

North Adams, Mass, August 1.-THE
Arnold print works, the largest mills in
this town, together with the Beaver and
Eclipse mills of Gallup and Houghton of
this town, the Williamstown Manufac-
turing Company, the North Pow
nal Manufacturing Company of North
Pownal, Vermont, mills which made
cloth for the Arnold print works, will
shut down indefinitely Saturday night.
More than two thousand employees are
affected. A. G. Houghton, president of
the Arnold print works, says: ''In view
of the unsettled condition of business in
the country we have decided to close the
mills until the situation improves" The
mills have been run on full time with
nearly all the help until the present time.
The shut down is due to the inability to
obtain currency.

THB PAST AND FUTURE.

The Provisional Government begins
to day the second halfyearly period of
its existence. In the six months past
it has maintained order, strengthened
the national finances, suppressed an
incipient conspiracy, secured complete
recognition at the hands Of the United
States and overcome powerful
moneyed opposition, During that
time the gravest predictions have been
made here and in San Francisco of its
immediate collapse and downfall, but
all OF them have come to nothing. At
least twenty separate dates have been
made for the restoration of the eX-
Queen but each of them has borne
Dead Sea fruit Every week and every
month has added to the self reliance
of the powers that be, and made them
more conhdant of final success.
In the six months to come very
much ought to be decided in regard to
the Hawaiian policy of the American
government. Three weeks from yes
terday Congress will convene in special
session and while we do not look for
much Hawaiian legislation then we eX.
pect that enough of the pressing Amer
lean questions will be disposed OF to
enable Congress, at its regular Decem-
Der meeting, to take up the annexation
treaty early. In the meantime, scored
as it is by the Monroe doctrine from
foreign interference, the Provisional
Government will maintain firm and
unassaiable front to domestic machin-
alton.
Little has leaked out in regard to the
new annexation treaty which the coun-
ellis have been at work upon for a
month or more past, but enough is
known to convince many outsiders that
the treaty has been framed in Difference
to the wishes of the American Govern
ment. 1t is said-though we do not
state this upon official authority-that
Minister Thurston was given to under
stand that if some provisions Of the old
treaty could be modified, annexation
would be easier to obtain. Hence, in
respect to the labor problem, etc, the
new proposal is an improvement in its
terms upon the old one.
On the whole, the outlook for the
next six months is very agreeable
Since the publication of the Neumann
power of attorney the ex-Queen has
lost her case, if she ever had any tc
lose, and so the negotiations with the
United States Government will not be
affected by her amazing pretenses. She
has become an eliminated factor

THE DUKES COON.

1t was hardly to be presumed that a
free-born American coon would endure
British captivity without a struggle;
and so the escape of the Duke of New
castles fine specimen of the genus
Iotey seems to have been in accord
with the political fitness Of things.
Reared as he was amid the piney up
lands and juicy corn fields of the great
republic, the knowledge that he might
have to end his days in the museum of
an English peer wore upon the coon
until he became both bitter in spirit
and savage in mlen, A veraclous
chronicle has it that when the animal
left the Californian coast he seemed
greatly depressed; but when the ship
that bore him deCked at Honolulu he
frightened up and showed signs of
returning hope. Perhaps he heard the
twang of the familiar Yankee accent
which he had listened to from some
bushy maple-top overhanging field of
ripe ears in harvest time. Perhaps he
scented the American air. However
that may be, he seemed a new coon
when he came ashore, and his natural
disappointment at being taken to the
Royalist hotel was overcome by the
sight of the colors of his native land
floating from the legation pole in one
of the cottages of the dooryard.
As a pure-blooded American, the
Dukes coon determined to strike an
early blow for liberty He struck 1t at
the bars of his cage and they gave way
His Grace, who has parrot that
swears, was lecturlng the bloody bird
on the beastly shame of its language
and did not observe the passing OF the
ring-tailed marauder, and so 1t was
some time before the absence of the
animal was noticed-don't you know.
In the meantime the coon was en-,
loving his new-found freedom. As be-
came an American, he did not feel at
home in his restorationist surround
ings, so he skipped in his ready way to

THE WATER SUPPLY.
A Correspondent Gives His Views on
Perennial Topic.

EDITOR STAR: Now that the dry
season has set in, the usual cry for a
Government water supply is raised by
our suburbans Of kapalama and
Kalihi, and a m ,yement was set on
foot which has resulted in bringing
their grievances before the Councils in
in the form of general petition, be
lieving that at last it will be deservedly
considered for reasons as given below
As will be seen by the list of petition
ers, who scarcely without exception are
ready to take the water as soon as it
can be obtained, even at higher rate
than is paid in town, the Government
is insured moderate rate of interest
on the outlay for reservoir in Kalihi
Valley, or pipe extension from town,
which in either case it is estimated will
not exceed SIS, 900 at the most Be
sides, it must be borne in mind that the
income derived from it will increase
from year to year, as god many PEG
pie will settle and build there as soon
as this water question is settled.
1t is true 4 good many people at
Kapalama have a water supply from
the Kamehameha schools, but for
house purposes only, which prevents
them from planting their grounds and
identifying their homes, but not so
those who are settled on the Eva side
of the Kalhi stream, who have nothing
but the dirty taro patch water, and
even this in very limited quantity,
1t is unnecessary to say that the fact
mentioned above is bound to prove eX-
tremely dangerous in case an epidem
ical disease should visit us, and for
this reason alone, if for no other,
should he remedied without much de.
lay.
Furthermore, it is claimed by those
people that they bought the lands from
the government with the understanding
of a water supply in the near future,
that is, within year or so from the
time the land was sold them, and it is
consequently only matter Of justice
that their wishes should be considered
and that something be done,
We know that the water-works APP.
preparations have always been limited,
but | do not believe this sufficient
reason to withhold from these people
their rights any longer. The Council
has the right to grant money and as
the taxes will soon be due, will have
plenty of it at its disposal

Mr.. Blount's cottage. He wanted pro-
lection. Did he get it1 Alas, his
name had not been inscribed in that
famous non combatant ledger Of the
United States Minister and he stood no
show. In vain, we presume, he pointed
to long line OF American ancestry,
and drew upon all the education he had
gained among the higher branches to
convince the Minister as to his right of
asylum BIT Mr.. Blount seems to
have been obdurate He had seen
coons of another stripe in Georgia and
was prejudiced against the race. At
any rate the coon found he could do
nothing better than 20 up tree. and

was seen at the apex OF IN aIgeroba IN
the yard Of the American diplomatic
headquarters. He was bound to stay
near the flag even if be couldn't be safe
under it-American to the uttermost
ring of his stubby and redoubtable tail.
We wish that at this point we could
bring this historical chapter to a close,
but it cannot be. Our countryman,
the coon, had his weaknesses and one
of these was a taste for eggs When
midnight shadows fell he descended
the tree and began search for spoils.
1t is said that he passed seven mem
bers of the last Legislature, three ex
Royal Ministers and an eX-Marshal OF
the eNkingdom, and was sorely tempt.
ed, having heard of their ways, to ask
them to Join him. But he held his
peace.
In due tine the coon found himself
on Beretania street and in the neigh
borhood Of poultry house. We can
not believe that he really meant to take
anything that was not his, but hunger
makes no iue distinctions between
Imeun and tnuD1, and the coon started
in for the eggs. \ repr ,aChfl and ex
cited hen or two got in his way and
suffered for it; but before an egg could
be obtained the owner Of the poultry
yard laid the hero of a hundred
m fields hoyS dH ooRJdt with a
charge of BIB shot And 50 eoded
the first lesson.
While quite aware that American,
cannot take pride in the career of their
fellow counttyman the coon, providing,
as the Roydllsts say, he was thieving at
night, we still must urge that much
may be pardoned a coon that has been
wrested from his home, forced t. live
