OUR WATER WORKS.

State Journal:-AIiller has been compell-

water works, established some eight years
ago. Poor piping is understood to be the
cause. She had one of the crack artesian
wells OF the state. The poor piping Is al
legged to have been lob"
The works are not abandoned. They
are being used, but are in crippled con-
dition. The well is still one of the crack
wells of South Dakota. and with the wate-
works. should be taken care Of by the
citizens of Miller. Lack of experience
NAV have caused selection OF poor piping
for the present system OF water works.
also placing the pipes 81 feet deep, II is
generally believed now that pipes from
one TO three feet deep would answer the
purpose, and could be cheaply as well as
quickly reapred whenever leaks occur.
That something mus, be done soon is a
foregone conclusion, or the town will be
flooded out.

THE FARMER AND POLITICS.

The prosperity Of farmer today de-
pends more ON the methods he employs
than on governmental rule. Take seeds
for an example: Many farmers who are
alive TO their own interests In other things
are careless in buying seeds. They seem
to .hink that seed is a seed and there
1t ends. IL there was more knowledge
about seeds and greater care exercised
In their selection. there would be richer
crops and better returns.
Realizing this. d. NJ. Ferry a. Co., the
famous seed firm of Detroit, Mich, have
embodied in their illustrated Annual for
1899, much valuable information about
seeds and their selection. Although the
cost of printing and embellishlng it with
beautiful illustrations has been great, il
is sent free to any one making applloation
to the above firm.

prevails Of addressing letters to Dakota"

simple natives the value OF land,
produce and money.
Again the 2.I4 and their
claquers in the United States
sneeringly refer to the Havaiians
as serni-civilized race. unfit to
govern themselves or TO rule over
foreigners.
The early voyagers and histori-
ans have testified to the high
character Of the Hawaiians. and
Fornander's genealogy has de-
monstrated their descent from
the same common stock which
IN other migrations have pro-
duced the angle-saxon of the
present age. They emerged
from their barbaric relapse
quicker than did the Britons and
Saxons of Europe, and in one
half century attained a high
degree of civilization which gave
them rank among the nations
of the world. Their more adj
vanced white brothers nobly as
sisted in this result. The
Napoleonic achievements of
Kamehameha and the record of
constitutional government under
succeeding dynasties is as good
a history as that of any other
nation. The whites found wor
thy wives among the Hawaiians
and laid the foundation of a new
vigorous and handsome race
which seems fatefully destined
to replace the old In order to
meet the altered conditions oil
the new era, and to have more
vitality than the unacclimatized
foreigner. 1t is a known fact
that the pure anglo-saxon pro-
geny in tropical climes degenerate
both in physique and character,
But the admixture with native
stock is always vigorous, with
the physique of the mother and
the mental endowments o.
father.
Admitting that the native
Hawaiian is not yet able tc
govern without the aid of the
white man, it is a falst
libel to say that he is semi-civi
lied and unable to fulfil tht
duties OF a good citizen.
There does not exist NOR,
kind, hspitable or intelligen
people than the Hawaiian, anC
his educational attainments ar,
a higher average than in any cit,
of England or America. Trave
any where about these ISLANDS
and you will not find a NOR,
peaceful. domestic or prosperou
peasantry anywhere. He is sup
piled literally with news
paper literature in his owl
Language, and has al
intelligent comprehension o
public topics. A rigid compari
son would prove him the equal j
not the superior of the common
clssses in America or Europe
Either in city or country, Their
is less crime, poverty or degrade
ton among the Hawaiians thai
there is in similar communitie
any where else.
| In the exercise of the franchis
the Hawaiian displays more judg
ment and intelligence than til

tntional monarch and q govern
ment that has been more than
paternal In promoting and assist
ing their ventures, protecting the
individual rights. and taxing but
lightly the motley population
The form of government was
well suited to our conditions.
There were no international iea-
lousies for all were on neutral
ground and were permitted the
extraordinary privilege of voting
as citizens of this country. while
still retaining allegiance to their
mother country.
Bat for the bombastic conceit,
and utter misconception Of Amer
lean principles of government. OF
a small clique OF Disconnected
agitstors. we might still be enjoy
ing the peaceful order Of a liberal
government. instead of chatting
under the military despotism of
seventeen very mediocre men.
Ii annexed to the United States
we could hope for nothing but
some form of colonial government
which would be run by set of
political carpet-baggers from
Washington. and in which the
residents of these Islands would
have no voice.
| 1t is an insult to the intelli-
gence of this community to pre-
| tend that we have no men here
competent to head our public
affairs. We have such men, but
| they are not in the ranks of the
missionary clique.
| Situate as we are so remote
from other lands. our public
needs are peculiar to ourselves.
Such laws and legislation as we
require, we can obtain in par
lament of our own election that
would give it due deliberation
L
and accomplish results in accord
with public need and public
opinion upon the priciple of
majority rule which is the only
fair way to govern a community.
Why give up this privilege Of
self-government and the right to
regulate our own affairs in accord
with the wishes of our own
people who are the best judges
of what they need. Why forfeit
the highly priced privilege of a
civilized community to vote and
