A QUERY
Regarding the Old Stone In Front of
she North Church Which is to be
Garted


the North Church Which is to be
Carried Away.
Tothe Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Can any one tell what use was made
in early times of the large stone now at
the foot of the tree recently blown down
in front of the old green-ths tree that has
an iron chain about 1t and a bolt
through it,
Does it mark the site of the center of the
town plot or market place, or is it the
starting point of the milestones 1adiating
from the center of the town; viz, in the d.
rection of Milford, Derby, Cheshire and
Branford.
1t is not in appearance unlike the old
London stone, near ST. Swithen's church
in London, Eng, which antedstes, 1t is sup
posed, the Roman conquest of England
Perhaps, by examination, this stone may
have historic marks. It may be the stone
put there to mark Gov. Eaton's burial
place. At any rate 1t is an interesting relic
of the past and it's history should at least
be Investigated. The stone may have q
valuable record. c. 1T

ANNEX

Even if the policy of President Cleve'
land is to be against the annexation OF
this group to the United States, as
some have been led to predict, there
is no need for misgiving among the
friends of the cause as to the final issue
of events.
In the first place the party now in
power is strong enough to hold its own
until conditions at Washington shall
change in its behalf. Order can be
maintained, business and commerce
can be protected and the financial
stability of the country can be made
unassailabe. We may be certain, II
we are compelled to wait, that Amerl-
can public sentiment, now SO strongly
enlisted for annexation, will find means
to express itself through the machinery
of Government. If not at hand now,
our day Of jubilee will come later.
1t is common to see the mistortuneS
of the moment overruled by Providence
to serve the ends of human good-and
who knows but that delay in the an.
nexation movement now may be the
one thing needful to bring all Hawaiian
parties into unanimity with the doml
nant cause. After it has been m1dt
clear to the Royalists that the monarchy
is dead, with no promise of resurrec
ton, the choice of Government will be
narrowed down to that of the Reform
party and that OF the great republic
1t is easy to see where the =. Queen
disbanded adherents would rally Be
fore two years-perhaps before on
year-had passed under present polltl
cal conditions, the haters of what the
are pleased to call missionary rule
would be found under the banner o
annexation, demanding relief through
entrance to the privileges and equal
ties of the United States.
Therefore, as to the immediate
status OF anneXation:

Gold in South Africa.

The gold fields in the Transvaal
republic in South Africa yielded over
10000 ounces in August, which is
the largest product yet recorded in any
one month. In round figures year S
output at the same rate would be worth
$32, 500, 900, which is about equal to
the annual production of gold in either
the United States or Australia. In the
countries last named, however, the gold
yield is about stationary, whereas 1t is
rapidly increasing year by year in South
Africa. If the Transvaal mines pro-
duce $50, 900 in 1898, there will
be $40, 900, 900 worth of gold mined in
1894 in all probability. Where the
top limit will be reached can hardly be
guessed. Good judges say that hun
dreds Of square miles of territory are
underlaid with gold bearing r. OK and
that the total yield of the region will
not fall below below $4,000, 900, 900.

PROSPECTS AND EFFECTS OF
WAR.

That the 22, 5000 men under arms
in Europe desire to have a war, IS
chiefly the fact that makes great con-
fict probable. Statesmen might be
willing to split hairs for long time, and
diplomats to play on the political chess
board Unfortunately; but what craft Of
council can withstand the public opin-
ion which $4,000, 900 soldiers may
create, or avoid the caSuS beH which
it is within their power to bring about
by some precipltate action on the
frontiers The mighty energies which
statesmen have been combining r so
long a time must have their way IN
spite of truces and combinations or OF
the prudent reluctance OF Kings, Presl-
dents and Premiers 1t was by mar
now chance that war did not lately
break out over the small Italian ques-
ton. Perhaps the next time there will
be no intervention in behalf OF peace
by the capricious goddess of luck.
The character of the coming conflict,
considered as an example of the military
art, cannot be judged in advance by
precedent. There are now no veteran
troops and but few veteran generals in
the European field; hence the question
becomes one of discipline, and new
arms and missiles rather than one OF
tested experience and valor on the
march and battlefield. The chief dis
turbance to speculative theories, how
ever, is supplied by the improvements
in the material agencies of death. OBJ
viously, the next war will be on an
entirely new plan. Smokeless powder,
doing away as it will with the aim-ob-
securing canopy of battle, must add
vastly to the fatalities on both sides.
The use of dynamite and melanite will
have the same effect, as will the i'm
proved magazine rifles and the trcmen-
dous modern ordnance Of the Krupp,
Canet, Woolwich and American type.
Human life will be blotted out by the
brigade the moment face-to face
grapple comes to pass. Few will es'
cape in the hurricane of deadly missiles.
Perhaps such catastrophe is needed
to bring about the era of universal
peace which Tennyson foresaw when
he sing of the time when the war
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1893-11-10

drums should throb no longer and the
battle flags be furled in some mild
parliament of a human federation.
The incentive to be soldier is the
chance of glory and reward to follow
an escape from death in gallant mil
itary service. When less than five per
cent. of an army were likely to be
slaughtered in any given battle, the
easy risk of being one Of the ninety
five per cent to 60 through the ordeal
safely was worth taking Had it been
the other way in the days Of Auster-
litz and Waterloo-had the ninety-ive
per cent. been doomed, or even forty
five per cent it is not to be supposed
that even the ambition of Napoleon
or a Wellington would have sought or
found many opportunities to hold a
pitched battle. By force of inventive
genius the time has come when the
ninety percentage of a fighting
army are in imminent peril of life.
Not a star, but a coffin, is at the end
of the modern campaign for officer and
private soldier alike, and when that
truth is once revealed in continental
windows of the manned and dead,
| let us have faith that there will be nc
more wars. They would be too costly
in both blood and treasure.
