The issue cannot, as some of
the P. G.. sages suppose, be
either hidden or obscured, by
a change of tactics or of name
on their part. A restoration OF
the constitution is certain, and
the Queen, as an incident of
such restoration. will be replaced
upon the throne. If this be not
performed by the United States,
the power by which the con-
stitution WAS suspended, then
if that great nation shall ignore
its manifest duty in the premises,
even then, in the language of
Gladstone, the resources of
civilization are not exhausted.
A change of name by the
P. G. will be merely
a following of the example set
by the sapient ostrich which,
having buried its head in the
! sand, left other, and more valua-
BILE portions of its anatomy con-

from the P. G.. to the Hawaiian
Commonwealth, or the Hawaiian
Republic, might involve some
expense for printing, but could

any more serious results, or bring

ignominy and peril of government
by gang of political pretenders
and mountebanks, thrust upon
US by American bayonets
and gatlings. at the instance of
the hoary Pharisee from Maine.
The Sovereign of Hawaii is
accorded no real power by our
constitution, She may reign, but
not rule. There could be no
more pointed illustration of
this truth than the fat failure
of the most illadvised attempt
of the Queen to modify existing
forms, by the substitution of a
new constitution for the existing
one. on January 14th last. In that
instance, consent to the scheme
of revolution was withheld by
the Cabinet, the real deposit
aries of the political power,
hence the failure of the project.
For that act of aggression the
Queen has few apologists, and
deserves none but we protest
against the visitation upon the
Hawaiian people at large Of the
wrath which is, perhaps Justly
felt because of the Queens IN
authorized attempt at the subver-
sion of the constitution.
The most that can be urged
against the so called restoration
of the Queen" is, that 1t will
imply a relapse into the long
discarded rut of irresponsi-
bic rule. But even that argu-
ment is Enthusiastically phar-

of shady schemers who advance
it; for ten months ex-

who are so soficitious for our

into practice for an hour, the end

CHAPTER XII.

n
Bright, deceptive glints of sunrise
slanted low from the crisp east over the
low shore line, touching yet only the
tall tree tops, as old Pete emerged from
his dingy cabin on the creek and stood
like statue in ebony, listening in
tently.
''Sta1wart and tall, like Anak's son."
the long, bony limbs of the black, over
which the corded muscles played with
every motion, denoted unusual
strength, even for one of his race and
calling. And the grim strength of his
hard, scanned face showed inner
strength well suited to his body.
Cleaner cut and irmer than usual with
the negro, Pete's features were grave
and stern, the thin, blue lips set, as
though used to sudden peril and his
were the motto of the Douglas: Ready;
aye ready!''
The clatter Of hoof and wheels grew
clearer; then Meredith's familiar trap
appeared and drew up at the cabin.
Here we are, Pete" Mckee cried,
merrily, dismounting as fast as skirts
permitted, and assisting Miss Clay's
light descent from her cold perch
''Sarvant, Mars Kee! How yo' mar?"
the negro answered, with a grave bow,
but showing no surprise at the familiar
voice coming in such questionable

queer-1oOking structure being erected
on the south end of the wooded island
near the Davy Crockett log house.
When completed it will represent the
sort of cabin the antipodean BUSH
men occupy. It is being built
of bark brought from Australia,
and is held together by long
poles dashed together with twisted
grasses This odd building will be oc-
cupied by Australians during the sum-
mer, who will decorate the interior
with an interesting collection of hun
ter's traps and trophies of the chase.
Another interesting exhibit which is
about to be constructed is that of the
empire of India It will stand mar the
houses of Sweden, Hayti and New
South Wales, in the north end of the
park. In architecture it is oriental to
the minutest detail.
The building is nearly square, eighty
feet long by sixty wide and twenty-fiv
feet high. A lofty gateway leading
into it is topped by minarets painted in
rich but harmonious oriental style.
Smaller minarets of a similar design to
those over the gateway are placed at
each of the corners of the main build
ing. The general effect of the exterior
will render the structure striking OBJ
ject among the cosmopolitan specimens
of architecture at the north end of the
park.
The contents of the building will be
in keeping with the style of exterior
decoration The chief feature of the
exhibit will naturally be tea, in the
cultivation and manufacture of which
those represented by the Indian Tea
association have invested many mil
lions of dollars. Associated with the
Indian Tea association of Calcutta is
the Bengal chamber of commerce, so
that the entire tea industry of the In
dian empire. which gives employment
to nearly one hundred and fifty thou
sand people and in which are invested
ten million dollars, will be represented
at this building.
In the Indian building the visitor
will be able to drink Indian tea, served
in Indian manufactured crockery,
hand-painted by native Indians and
served by native servants in native
garb. Indian carpets, brass and copper
utensils, gold and silver vessels, antique
Indian arms curiously inlaid with fill
gree and mosaic work in precious met.
ais, magnificent collections of ivory
goods, etc, will be open for the inspec-
ton of visitors to this unique pavilion
The total value of the collection will
be some thing enormous, reaching hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and the
ebony-hued attendants who wait upon
visitors will at the same time be exhib-
its as custodians of the costly treasures
In the building.

SANDS upon thousands of added visitors
is, to say the least, anything but reas-
surfing. We are promised, however,
that by the time the fair opens there
will be ample facilities for taking care
Of the crowds, Cbicagoans and all.
But notwithstanding this promise,
even though it is made by the statis-
tical genius who runs the mathemat-
ical department of the worlds fair,
there is room for fear that there will
be some discomfort in getting about
our big city. when the numerous rail
ways which center here begin unload
ing their throngs of passengers in our
midst.
The aforesaid statistical genius, who,
by the way. has figured the thing all
out for the guide books, states that in
addition to the present accommoda-
tions there will be extra trains run be-
tween the city and Jackson park on
all the roads running in that direction.
There will also be a number of boat
lines which will take a great many
people down the lake shore to the fair
grounds, which beyond doubt will be
the route most favored by all who en-
joy the fresh breezes and a ride on the
water. These boats, or few of them,
last summer in carrying people to the
fair grounds, but the force is to be
greatly augmented and large landings
are being built on the lake front for
the use of passengers
We hope our mathematical inform
ant is correct in his calculations. and
we have every reason to believe that
he is, but until the fair season is fair
~ on and we have had a test there
will continue to be some doubt as to
our ability to cope with the masses of
people from abroad.
Within the last week the famous
Montana silver statue Justice has
been cast, and the operation, which
was performed with imposing cere-
monies, was an initial success. The
statue is the largest ever made of such
precious material, and when complete
and mounted will undou btedly be the
marvel of the century. 1t is the life
size figure of the celebrated actress,
Miss Ada Rehan. and something like
sixty five thousand dollars worth of
.999 fine silver was used in the cast.
The silver in the figure is two inches
thick, and the metal that overlooked
in the casting will be made into SOU
venirs for the people of Montana.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS
The Democratic Idea of Dealing with
Other Nations.

The Democratic Idea of Dealing with
Other Nations.
The TO reign policy to which the
democratic party is committed is OF
peaceful trade with all countries and in
trigues against none. Only through
such policy can we long escape for
eign war that viii saddle our workers
with another grand army of military
pensioners, so that instead of support
ing a single million pretorians we will
have several millions of them. insisting
on their right to be supported at
public expense because of their pa
triotism.
The foreign policy of the last four
years has been dangerous to the well
fare of our own people and alarming
to our neigh bors. Things have come
to a pretty pass with us when it re-
quires a change of administration to
make our neighbors feel, as Chilli now
feels, that they are safe from imminent
danger of being oppressed by our in
trigues in their affairs, If not by an
actual army of invasion, sent to sub
jugate them and acquire control of
their guano beds. their sugar trade, or
whatever any syndicate of rapacious
American plutocrats may chance to
covet
We have all the territory we need
and great deal more than we are yet
able to develop. We have not yet
learned to govern ourselves justly, and
we would be foolish indeed to subiu-
gate others for the sake of governing
them the better to give the same class
of plutocrats who are robbing us op-
portunity to rob them under our aus
pices and with our consent
The foreign policy we want Is not
one of robbery. subjugation and an
nexaticn, but of peaceful extension of
our t<ade. We want to put the Ameri-
can flag back into every port of the
world and, wherever there is an English
or a German mercantile agent, we
want an American drummer there to
compete with him
President Montt, of Chilli, feels that
his country is safe from attack now
that the democrats are back in power
in the United States, and the party
must SO shape its foreign policy that
no weak people will dread subjugation
from the United States. We must keep
on good terms with our weaker neigh
bors and restore their confidence in our
sense of Justice and love of freedom
The country has been sufficiently dis
graced by the policy of Pateganism-

Chilli nor in any other country--St

How the Country Is PIundered Through

The Mckinley bill retained a tax on
refined sugars of half a cent pound.

pounds OF refined sugar, and there
were exported over Is, 600, 900 pounds
There were imported 9, $50. 600, 600
pounds of raw sugar free of tax The
comparatively small amount of refined

we export refined sugars shows that no
