DEFIED THE A
A South Carolina Liquor Seller Who Was
Not Arrested.

Not Arrested.
COLUMBIA, =. C., Nov. 1l.-There is
one man in Columbia who on Thurs
day had nerve enough to defy the
state. His name is W. b. Mectz, a sa-
loonkeeper. Meetz was selling rice
beer in the state fair grounds and was
ordered by Gov. Tillman to close up
his booth and decamp. which he
refused to do, also warming the gov
ernor that the first man who crossed
his bar to arrest him would be filled
full of holes. For a time it looked as
if a riot would ensue, but wiser council
prevailed and the governor and his
state constables took their departure
and allowed Meetz to sell his rice peel
~unmolested.

The Queen and Her Counsellors.

The station house was occupied by o we'll
armed force. under the command Of a r~esolute.
capable officer.
The same afternoon the queen, her minis
tiers. representatives OF the provisional gov
eminent and others held a conference at the
palace. refusing to recognize the new authority
or surrender to it. She was informed that the
provisional government had the support OF
the American minister, and, IL necessary,
would lie maintained Ivy the military OF the
United States, IL any demonstration on her
part should precipitate a conflict with that
force: that she could not. with hope of success.
engage in war with the United States. and
that resistance would result in a useless sacri-
flee of lie.

Submission q Duty.

Mr.. Daleton, one OF the Ieaders OF the move

she could surrender under protest and her case

lieying that, under the circumstances submis-

1t is fair to say that Secretary Fosters
statements were based upon Information which
he had received from Mr.. Stevens an I the spe-
cial commissioners. but / am unable to see
that they were deceived. The troops were
landed, not TO protect American life and prop
erty. but 10 aid in Overthrowing tn, govern
ment. Their very presence implied coercive
measures against 1t.
In a statement given to Mr.. Blount by Ad.

Read Under the Protection of Am ,rican
Gums

The earnest appeals TO the American minis
ter for military protection by the officers OF the
provisional government after it had been rec
ognizcd. show the utter absurdity of the claim
that IL was established by n successful revolu-
ton OF the people OF the islands. The appeals
were a confession by the men who made them
OF their weakness and timidity. Courageous
men, conscious OF their strength. and the jus.
tice OF their cause. do not thus act.
1t Is not now claimed that a majority OF the
people having the right 10 vote under the con.
stitution OF 1877, ever favored the existing au,
thcrity or annexation to this or any other coun,
try. They earnestly desire that the govern.
ment of their choice shall he restored and its
independence respected

This governor of the island Immediately ad-
dressed to Mr.. Stevens a communication re-
ferring to the act rs an unwarranted invasion
OF Hawaiian soil, md warning him that the
proper authorities had never denied permits
sion to the naval forces OF the United States
to land for drill or for any other pur pose.
About the same time the queens minister OF
foreign affairs sent a note to Mr.. Stevens ask
ing why the troops had been landed. and In.
forming him that the proper authorities were
a! lie and willing to afford full protection to the
American legation and all American interests
in HoLolulu. Only evasive replies were sent
to these communication.

THE LITTLE STEAMBOAT
Lincoin's Neat Method of Crushing the
Opuosing Counsel


Opposing Counsel.
Once during the argument in q law
suit, in which Lincoln represented one
rarity, the lawyer on the other side
was good deal of a glib talker, but
not reckoned as deeply profound or
much of thinker. He would say
anything TO jury that happened to
enter his head. Lincoln, in his ad-
dress to the jury, referring to this,
said: MY friend on the other side is
all right, or would be all right, were
it not for the popularity am about
to chronicle. His habit-of which
you have witnessed a very pain
full specimen in his argument to
you in this case-of reckless asser-
ton and statements without grounds,
need not be imputed to him as a moral
fault or as telling of moral blemish.
He can't help it For reasons which,
gentlemen of the jury, you and have
not time to study here, as deplorable
as they are surprising, the Oratory of
the gentleman completely suspends
all action of his mind. The moment
he begins to talk, his mental opera
tions cease. I never knew but one
thing which compared with my friend
in this particular. That was a small
steamboat Back in the days when 1
performed my part as keel boatman,
/ made the acquaintance of trifing
little steamboat which used to hustle
and puff and wheeze about in the
