The provisional government of the
Hawaiian Islands is made up of sugar
planters and the missionary element.
who hope to profit by annexation
through holding the offices and receiv-
ing the bounty on sugar. The natives
are overwhelmingly opposed to annexa-
tion. and but for the pacific counsels
of the queen would have swept the
provisional government out OF exist
ence in day. Make no mistake about
1t, the natives are brave and will fight.
They would have exterminated
the forces of the provisional
government, and the sailors and
marines of the Boston, too, but
the leaders knew the uselessness
and folly OF attempting to fight the
United States. They regard the whole
situation as case in court. and await
patiently the decision OF the United
States. There win be no trouble while
that decision is pending"
On the Other Hand
Mr.. Thurston. the special representa-
tive Of the Hawaiian provisional gov

Spreckels Is simply matter of busi-
ness. He wants cheap coolie labor

well known. during the last days of its
existence. When last heard from the
provisional government, and my ad-
vices We're on Aug. 23, there was sur
plus of $4,000 in the treasury. But
the most significant sign of the
governments stability was shown in
the recent issue Of bonds. An issue oi

market for the purpose OF pushing in
ternal improvements. The govern.
ment wanted to place the bonds, but
found that they wanted q high com

home market and $l35. 900 were sold.

Getting Ready for Winter.

New York Times:
About this time the careful
hOusekeeper begins to have her
blankets washed one by one in the
weekly wash to be ready for the
coming winter. She does not wait
for cold weather before having
sagging sash cords replaced with
new ones, cracked window-panes
removed, and daughty places at
tended to. 1t is great mistake to
wait until necessity becomes a
spur to the procrastinator. "Take
time by the forelock," and as the
autumn wanes make due provision
for the coming winter.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saving.

3 the common topic of conversation
and congratulation among all class
es of the people; restoration of
prosperity is looked forward to by
all.
But we must not forget that San
Antoney has Jockey club in sue
cessful operation. Let every one
who can, see the races and recreate.
San Antonio is the best town in
the state; let our people encourage
every enterprise that will bring to
us the stranger.
Old Commerce street is waking
up; new fronts and new buildings
are going up, to accommodate the
certain revival of business.
The old pokey, stingy methods of
the past are fast giving way to
brilliant display and business
push, all we need is to make it
pleasant for the strangers.
The people want to throw off
some of their heavy loads-the
heaviest is the water monopoly. 1t
is the duty of our present city adj
ministration to carry out its pledge
to the people.
The expenditure of less than a
million dollars will insure owner
ship of our water supply, sewerage,
and ownership of our electric light
plant.
Now is the time to eXpend this
money and give our city an up
ward movement. 1t can be shown
to the people that they will save
money and bring San Antonio to
the front.
Our city cannot stand still; to
stand still is to go backward.
Every taxpayer is deeply interest
ed in this question, and should
give it careful study.
Public enterprise will inspire
private enterprise and encourage
the investment of capital.
X
We must throw off the miser-
able chickering's incident to person.
al politics and be united people
upon questions Of the general
veal.
The last city administration was
eXtravagant and wasteful city adj
ministratiOns get that way under
the best control, but the eXpendi-
ture of large sums of money by the
last administration, even though it
was largely wasted, helped
our city. Had the same money
been expended for permanent pub
lie enterprises, such as sewers,
water works and electric light |
plants, our city would not have
suffered setback in its prosperity
such as witnessed the past two
years. The greater part of the large
expenditures of the past city ad-
miniStratiOn was thrown away
above temporary eXpedients,which
are today dead loss to the city.
The city was left in almost a |
helpless financial cOntiOn; taXpay-
ers were discouraged; their heavy
water rates and the public expen-
ditUres for the city government,
seemed only to grow more burden
some and beyond relief.
The city government was bound
hand and foot and turned over to |
the Water company and it's head. |
1t has been hard struggle to get |
the city out of this fix. This task |
towers above all the minor incl |
dents Of this administration.
