TIE story that England stands ready
to seize the Hawaiian Islands has been
revived by the annexationists for the
purpose Of forcing the United states
Government to rush in ahead When
England attempts TO seize any territory
contiguous TO this country she will find
that there are several obstacles In the
way. The Monroe doctrine cuts both
ways We do not wish TO interfere with
any foreign questions and countries and
we will not permit any foreign country
to interfere over here. But the report Is
not sensible, It is simply revival of the
foolish report that has been emphatically
denied England does not need, would
not have, and cannot take the Hawaiian
Islands.

They mean to do right.
The secret ballot will enable many a

fail TO give these men the opportunity

The only reason that can be urged why
DR.. Springer should not recall his notice

A great many Of the best people in the

Secretary Foster $25, 900, coo, which they

The government made mistakes to that
amount in assessing the taxes on the

tax, added it TO the price of the goods,
and collected the whole from the con-
sumers Then they sued the government
for the amount OF the tax which they had
already collected from the people.
The Supreme Court decides that the
