Couldn't See HOsO 1t Was.

An emigrant who had evidently
passed through Blackfoot in the prim-
tive days Of the town, retracing his
steps over his old line Of travel
struck the town again Wednesday
morning. Stopping his wagon in the
street at the Curtis corner, he said to
his wife, "I'll get out and mail this
letter right here" Then going to
Curtis window and peeplng through,
then to Cozier's and then down to
Vogler & Horton's he returned aud
said to his wife: 'I'll be gol darned
IL this don't beat all natur; the office
was right here when we were here be-
fore aud now it's gone and nobody
knows where"
"Well, maybe It's been moved re-
piled the wife. "You know we read
in the Walla Walla paper last winter
that Blackfoot postoffice had been
promoted to a presidents Office, and
/ expec. they have moved it to some
new tangled place where they could
put on more style" Il shouldn't t
wonder bit, said he. "Maybe they
have moved it to the presidents
house and we'll not stop to hunt that

IN the same place over there. nthese
strange things keep on happening how
you reckon things will look when we
get back to Kansas" "Show pity
Lord; don't talk about it, sighed the
wife; "if things have come to that
pass in Kansas, we had better staid
where we was IN Washington than to
go back to our old home. The Lord
forbid" Remounting to his seat the
old man drove off towards the rising
sun wondering how postofiices could
be moved.

Mail Robbery.

The mail cart running between Ar.
co and Houston was held up by two
masked men several nights ago. The
driver, Will Thompson, was ordered
to dismount by commanding and
glistening revolvers and he quickly
dismounted. The men took the cart
and mail and drove toward Houston
Thompson followed on foot. When
he reached the town he found his cart
and horse and his mail sacks. The
sacks were cut and all registered
packages stolen. The amount taken
is not known but is believed to be
very small. No clue has yet been
found that will lead to the arrest Of
the robbers.

The Annexation Club Roll.

The Star is now beginning to
make extracts from the rolls Of
the club to show how many of
the ''rascals" haven't become
members. Wouldn't it be nice
ard instructive now to have pub
lished the names of all the regis
tered voters who have not signed
the rolls or what perhaps would
be still easier to give to the world
at large the names of the men
who hare signed the rolls. and
then show who the 700 are. who
claim to represent the people of
Hawaii. But as Blonnt never
could get the names we hardly
expect that the Star will give it
to Us.

The Kamehameha Schools.

Mr.. Chas. R. Bishop, the we'll
known banker has donated his
magnificent estate on Molokai to
the Trustees of the Kamehameha
Schools for the benefit of this
educational institution. The
schools under their present man
agement have regained much of
their former prestige and popular
ity which they unfortunately lost
somewhat under the management
of the last political super
intendent. Mr.. Bishop has also
given $4,000 as a starter for the
projected school for girls which
was part of the object of the
great bequest of Mrs. Pauahi
Bishop.

THE HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.

The report of Secretary of State
Gresham upon the Hawaiian
affair which has been made public
gives a surprise to even close
observers of current affairs. 1t
was not generally supposed that
the representative of the Harri-
son administration, Minister
Stevens, had acted overly and in
an unwarrantedly aggressive man
ner and that the entire ensuing
course of suzeranity on the part
of this government was based
upon wrong and deception. Yet
such proves to be the case.
Minister Stevens seems to be
more of a plant tool in the intor-
ests of a clique of alien schemers
than an impartial and conserva-
tive representative of this gov
ernment-an and to such an extent
that the United States became
committed temporarily to a policy
entirely at variance with that to
which it had always previously
adhered.
Secretary Gresham report is
strong document and lays bare
unflnchingly and in direct terms
the wrong which was perpetrated

and his party's advantage, if not

Hence, when the Office is vacant
there is something 70 fight for,
and any means of securing votes
is fair. 1t was Mr.. Harrison S
creed to take votes from the devil

said the position during the period
Of the Worlds Fair should be his,
and having called himself indepeu-
dent, he beat the Democratic candi-
date who filed the office from 1889
TO S9l and erPeeted reelection. A
story characteristic of the man is
told in Nep York Herald sketch
published only few months ago.
Harrison in accordance with his
declared policy of accepting votes
from any quarter. accepted the
vote of the gambling interest in
Chicago, but in 1884, a noted
gambler named Mcdonald stood
in the way of his obtaining the
nomination to the Democratic
Convention. Thus runs the
story:
Harrison sent for Mike and
asked him if he would pull off
the track. Mcdonald said he
would not, iand said it in a pro-
fame and emphatic way. That
night the gambling houses were
raided, Mcdonald over the
store on Clark street near Mon
roe, receiving particularly rough
treatme nt at the hands of the
police, the furniture being smash
ed and all the implements carried
away. Mcdonald put in new
supply of furniture and the game
was resumed. Again was the
place raided and everything in
sight smashed by the clubs
of the police. This sort
of thing occurred several
times, and Mcdonald got very
tired. 1t was too costly and
there was no remedy in sight.
The mayor had the right to order
raid on the gamblers whenever
he felt like it, and the public
backed him up in it. SO Mike
called upon lis honour at the
City Hall and was nicely received.
Nothing ever ruffies the Harrison
ian temper. 'Howdy, Mike?
inquired the mayor with his
sweetest smile. But Mike was
not in a good humor, and didn't
smile. 1t was not his time to
be jocular. Harrison didn't
notice his ill-humor but blandly
inquired. Do you or l go to the
convention, Mike?' Il guess
you do, Carter" was the answer.
There were no more raids after
that and Harrison went to the
convention. We may congratu-
late ourselves in this young COM
munity that circumstances have
not yet developed men of the
Carter Harrison type among
English speaking people south
of the line.
