some cases this help has been ex-

States
''The terms upon which the annexation
shall be made we are perfectly willing to
leave to the United States government to
determine. There is one condition that
we very much desire shall be contained
in any agreement that may be determined
upon, and that is that the right of suf-
frage shall be restricted.
1--WE want no universal suffrage on the
islands. II to accomplish this it Is neces-
sary to lose our own right to vote we are
perfectly willing to abandon that. If
we might be allowed to suggest the form
Of government the District of Columbia
seems to afford the most desirable one
for the Sandwich Islands. We don't
want Territorial government, in which
there shall be Legislature elected by the
votes Of all the people.
eve are perfectly willing that the
United States shall fix the conditions
upon which we shall be taken into fell
lowship. We are sincere and earnest in
this matter. Everything that we have
done so far has been done openly and
with the avowed purpose Of uniting our
fortunes with those of this country"
Speaking of the causes that led to the
revolution, Mr.. Castle said that there
was, in his opinion, a conspiracy, to
which the Queen was party, and which
included the passage of the bill to charter
a lottery and providing for the importa-
ton Of opium.
Mr.. Castle was asked how long the com
mission would remain in Washington,
and, turning to Mr.. Marsden, he said
"How about that?'
To which the latter responded: awe
are enlisted for the war. We shall re
main here until our object is accom-
| plished or our application is rejected"

In Memoriana.


written in memory of John Kelly, Jr)
When death takes age we bow submissive,
Fate can no other promise give;
When death takes youth we sigh, reproachful,
A child just earned the right to live.
If sickness, agonizing suffering,
Snaps fragile thread of life,
And closes eyes so newly opened.
And ends an infants strife;
Death may relieve the baby's sufferings,
Or close a life that years do span,
But must he make boy his victim,
Not babe. nor time-worn man?
Who could foresee the careless parting
That romping play would be his last?
What brakeman thought those cars relentless
tlWould clutch him in their iron grasp?
The torture of suffering body
The rawlings of fevered brain,
Oh, call, he cries, Il must see papa,
Just let me see him once again ~
All, cruel time ah, cruel distance!
The father stares that cold white face,
No welcome smile to greet his coming,
No joy, no fond embrace.
For heaven has only lent it's treasure,
And so frail nature holds the calm
To keep the children near the gateway,
To call them in again.
Rest, rest in peace; we could not wake thee,
Thy sleep but to the just is given,
And he who closed thine eyes so gently
Will open them in heaven
Newark, N. j.
