DECLARATIONS
Of the Second Annual Tuske-
gee Negro Conference. Held
at Tuskegee, Ala, Feb 2l'o3.

The interest awakened by the
Conference of last year and the
practical results accomplished by it,
lead us to believe in the wisdom of
an annual gathering of the masses
of the colored people who shall give
to the public their own views as to
the condition Of the race, suggesting
methods of improvement and RENE
dies for existing evils.
As the outcome of our Second
Annual Conference, we make the
following declarations.
First-In our review of the past
year we believe that progress has
been made with refrence to the vital
points put forth by the last Confer
ence, especially in the effort to sup
plant the Mortgage System by the
Cash System; in the purchase of
property; the supplementlng of the
school funds by privite subscription
and the building of better school
houses; the greater care in the choice
of teachers and preachers; the more
tonsiderate treatment of women, the
making of religion matter Of daily
living and the loosening of the cords
Of sectarian prejudice.
Second-While we realize how
much has been done for our race we
are yet appalled, by the vastness of
the numbers who are still practical
ly untouched by any inspiring or up
lifting influences.
Third-the un fortunate condition
OF the people manifests itself in the
utter poverty of their surroundings;
their homes are often mere novels
with single room; their living is
coarse and scant; the soil is poor;
they are weighted down with accu-
mulated debts; implanted crops are
mortgaged; the school runs for three
and half months; suitable school
house is the exception; tina teacher
as rule is poorly fitted for his work;
what has been said of the school
house and teacher may as truly be
said of the church and the preacher
Under these depressing circumstan-
stances immortality takes deep root
and shows itself in the form of in
temperance, gambling and loose
habits generally.
Fourth-As remedies. in part fol-
this state Of things we would reaffirm
the nine suggestions in declaration
sixth oflast year. In addition we
would most earnestly urge the doing
away with the one room cabin and
call no place home that has not al
least two rooms in it; we discourage
the iEdiscriminate use of excursions
We urge the diversifyng of crops
with the raising of our own meat and
poultry; we advise our women tc
avoid lOafing about the streets anC
other public places; we would dis
courage the habit of wasting Satur'
day; We deplore the tendency tc
leave the country to find home il
the cities; we advise better care o
our girls and boys and an earnest ef
for to find employment for them al
home; we would urge the laying
aside of all minor issues and the con

Rob rt L. MAXWELL.
1t has been known for some time that
the fourth assistant postmaster general
would come from New York state and
it has been well understood that Max
well would be the man.
He is one of the most astute and thor
ouchly posted Democrats in the Empire
state. Mr.. Maxwell has always been
identified with Mr.. Cleveland's political
fortunes.
He was identified with the recent an
tisnapper movement in New York, and
was recently removed from astate office
by Governor Flower. 1t is safe to saw
that with Lamont, Bissen and Maxwell
near at hand MIR. Cleveland will soon
find out the attributes and anteceaants
of all New York Democrats VIII ap lv
for office.
Hon. 10 iah Quincy,
who is to be assistant secretary Of the
department of state, is one of the Young
men of distinguished lineage and unu-
sual brains, who have deserted the Re
publican party in Massachusetts. The
tariff made him a Democrat. Nj.
Quincy was in charge of the literary u
reau of the national Democratic com
mittee in the recent campaign and did
excellent service. He is an accom-
plished writer and orator and though
he has had no experience in matters of
state, viii make an excellent officer.
There have been several eaeratioas OF
Quincy's in Massachusetts, and Josiah
is the first of the tribe that has Joined

AMERICAN POLITICS.

fFrom our san Francisco Correspondent
Cleveland has finally discovered
California in looking around for
/ places to bestow patronage. His
first appointment was that of John
II. Wise as collector of the port OF
San Francisco, vice Timothy Guy
Phelps, who resigns perforce. Not
withstanding Mr.. Wise is an able
and safe man, his selection is caus-
ing much grumbling on the grounds
that he was not an active party
man, and was therefore not entitled
to the place. English was the ia
vorite for the office, but he may get
something else. The President has
also given foreign mission to
Californian in the person of Thos.
L. Thompson of Santa Rosa. He
will be minister to Brazil. Thomp-
son is prominent in the party and
is a persistent office seeker.
Other appointments were as
follows:
L. F. Mckinney of New Hamp-
shire, to be minister to Colombia.
George William Caruth of Ar
kansas, to be minister to Portugal.
Owen T. Rouse of Arizona, JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of Ari-
IONA.
John u. Judd of Utah, United
States attorney of Utah.
George NJ. Humphreys of Nevada,
United States marshal of Nevada.
Samuel J. Ruddell has been APP
pointed deputy surveyor of the port
of San Francisco, vice McCussick,
resigned.
Edwin Dun of Ohio has been
confirmed as minister to Japan,
and Boss Dryer Of this city, who |
expected the plum, is feeling very
sad.

Self Preservation.

Hawaii is a necessary adjunct OF
our new navy. If we want a navy
at all it is on account of our for
eign commerce and shipping. Both
are destined to be most extensive.
Hawaii would give us an immense
advantage in supporting these, an
advantage which if we do not Sc
cure, some other power will. 1t is
a hard harsh way of considering
the matter. But it is one of self
preservation and that, as the man

THE oRDWAY BENEFIT.
A Small Attendance al the Con-
cert Last Saturday.

About two hundred people at
/ tended the benefit concert rendered
to U. ]. Ordway at Kawaiahao
church on Saturday evening last,
but what the audience lacked in
numbers appeared to be made up
in enthusiasm. The programme
commenced with chorus by the
Kawaiahao seminary girls, which
was well rendered. The beneficiary,
Mr.. U. J. Ordway, then gave a solo,
"The Mocking Bird performed on
an ordinary coal-oil can with a one
string attachment. This was re-
ceived with so much favor that the
performer was forced to respond to
an encore. This time he rendr red
''Ta-ra-ra- boom-de-ay" on the banjo,
and he did it SO well that visions of
Lottie Collins and her yellow skirts,
black silk stockings and high kick
ing floated before the reporters i'm

Signor Barsotti gave a very
pleasing tenor solo, "The Watch
man." which was loudly applaud
ed. The piece de resistance"
of the evening then followed, it
being the overture to Suppe's
"Poet and Peasant, " by the
Hawaiian national band. 1t is
needless to say that it was played
with the usual careful accuracy
which obtains with all music play
ed by this band, and that it was
received with thunders ofapplause.

A. Marques and U. j. Ordway was !
next on the programme, but as Mr.. |
Marques failed to put in an appear
ance his place was taken by a

little wonder the royalist cause has
sunk into a factional fight led by
well-known demagogues. These
men lack the public confidence
and are mostly without political
following, except in their own
claims and assertions. Both went
10 pot" with the monarchy. To
regain some show of political
influence they have assumed
the leadership of what they
allege is the native party,
representing the royalist cause,
in order to control, if posi-
bic, some balance ofpolitical power
in the formation of the future gov
eminent. None know better than
the royalist leaders that the doom
of the monarchy has been dealt.
1t is well known the natives are
not in the present royalist fight
are not allowed to be in it by the
royalist leaders. Wherever FEAST
BILE the native Hawaiian is used as
a stocking horse; but he is kept as
much as possible in the back
ground and fed with lies and pro
misses, never TO be fulfilled. The
royalist leaders have learned it is
dangerous to allow the native too
near the annexation movement;
the principles Of political equality
and national prosperity form might
Ter allurements than anything lost
through the fall of royalty.
To keep the natives from contact
with annexation, the leaders must
necessarily follow q vacillating
policy-in other words they have
become creatures of political ex-
pediency. Perhaps the most notice
able result of this policy has been the
weakness and absurdity publicly
by the royalists since the
arrival of Commissioner Blouut. The
very few sincere supporters of the
lost cause realize that something
is radically wrong in their camp, |
but as it is a case of needle in the |
to them the mystery will |
quite likely remain unexplained.
It's quite as likely, however, that
Commissioner BIount already sees
what the vast majority of the resi-
tents of Hawaii saw before his |
arrival, viz: That the royalist
,ause is fake, gotten up by
'hrewd politicians to trade upon
md that it has had no existence in
act since the day the ex-queen
the constitution and BY
TER OWN ACT terminated the mon
rchy.

TWO FATALITIES.

Terrible Accident at Hanamauln
"A Boy Dragged 10 Death az
yihuc.
The steamer James Makee
brought the news OF terrible ac-
cident which happened at Hama
maulu, Kauai. On Friday morning
native named Kanauma was
driving a wagon load Of sugar
down a hill when the brake broke.
He lost all control of the horses,
and finally wheel struck an OBJ
struction and threw the driver to
the ground.
When he was picked up it was
found that the wheels had passed
over him, badly fracturing a leg
and arm. He was taken to Lihue,
where the doctor after an examina-
ton determined it would be neces-
sary to amputate the injured leg.
A report of another accident
comes from Lihue. 4 Portuguese
boy while leading horse tied the
rope around his waist. The animal
became frightened and ran away,
dragging the boy after him. When
the horse was caught the boy was
dead. His head had been injured
most horribly.

THE ROYALIST CAUSE.

The royalist cause is fatally
smitten with vacillation and weak,
ness. This is not extraordinary
It's leaders failed few months age
to anticipate the swift and logical
results of their own policy. They
are hardly the men to restore the
political system they failed to
make self-sustaining. 1t is per-
fectiy natural that these royalist
leaders, who followed policy Of
expedients by which they hoped to
perpetuate the monarchy, should
now be found grasping at straws
among the wreckage.
When the ex-queen violated the
constitution, she sowed the revolu-
ton which is now turning out so
bitter and improbable q harvest
for Hawaiian royalty. That the
people will be benefited by the
change, she needs not, in fact. cares
not, but tears her heart in bitter
disappointment. Even the natives
are DESERVING her cause = many
were never with her; like Others,
they turn where prosperity beckons !;
they have learned to measure their
devotion and patriotism by their
prospects of thrift.
The nation feels that it has at
last lifted itself out Of the rut of
standardization, to which it would
not, could it return. The ex-queen
blames Others when she should
blame only herself and her former
advisors-those who are now lead
ers of the so-caIled royalist party.
It was a case where the head of an
unstable government touched the
political button and the people did
the rest. She can now reflect upon
the fact so often limited in the
legislature-that since the Kane
hameha line became extinct the
rulers of Hawaii have been allowed
to continue the monarchical form
of government as a matter of cour-
tesy rather than right.
Under this condition of tenure,
or rather of no tenure, with the ex-
queen endeavoring TO supplement
her late royal folly by negotiating

gold in case she cannot regain the |

prOvements than for two years,
and these improvements help
us a trife and we help some
other fellow, it's a sort of you

We keep getting orders for
HENDRY BREAKERS. that's a
tickle. We give the P. c.
ADVERTISER this ad., and
there's another tickle, and the
plantation man who uses the
Breaker is tickled almost to
death.
1t was only a couple of years
ago that the HENDRY BREAKER
was given a chance to show
itself at Paul Isenberg's ranch;
it jumped into popular favor
then, and has maintained its
position ever since. When a
man buys a certain article and
afterward adds nine more to
his stock, it is pretty good
evidence that the article is
satisfactory. That's what hap
pened the HENDRY BREAKER.
Recently, the manager of a
certain plantation was chang
ed to another locality. He
had been using our Breaker; at
his new place, another make
of pillow was in use, almost the
first thing he did was to send
to US for two HENDRY BREAK
ERs. This is his foundation for
the success of the plantation.
We commend them to you
for their great strength and
lightness of draught. They
