EDITOR HoLoMUA:
Your recent experience with
the law, onght to make you very
we'll posted. l will therefore ask
you a few question which | trust
you will endeavor to answer, not
only for my own benefit, but for the
benft of other Americans who,
though residents of these Islands
do not wish to swear away their
protection of the mother country
unconsciously.
You have undoubtedly noticed
that of late, the Star has been
trying to convince the American
element here. that the question of
whether man can be citizen of
the United Suates, and at the same
time of the Hawaiian Islands has
been settled beyond a doubt by
previous decisions OF the State
Department, that he can, this
question having been brought up
by the constitution of 1887, and
further more that then can be no
longer any doubt. as the Attorney,
General has settled the question
by rendering his opinion on the
subject. As an American, for.
one, am not willing to forfeit my
citizenship on ". o. Smiths
opinion, nor am | willing on the
opinion of the State department
unless / am convinced beyond a
doubt that the constitution of
1887, is still the constitution We
are living under today, and that
these decisions were made IN
accordance with said constitu-
ton.
If it is claimed that man was
under the constitution of 1887.
1 would like to ask the question,
if Article 90, which reads as l
remember it, MALE residents OF

EDITOR HoLoNUA:
l see from a late issue that
some one is attacking me about
my racing abilities as runner,
and says that L am afraid to
meet the Champion man again.
The statement is a lie. 1 never
refused to run against their man,
and / have in proof of this had a
challenge published. and a for
felt of s25 placed with one of the
daily papers binding myself to a
match with any man from the
naval ships now in port. So far
nobody has accepted my chal-
lenge. One of the Champion
men came to me, and asked me
il ! would enter into a race next
Saturday tomorrow. This pro-
position was made last Thursday
and gave me one day to train
in. Anybody familiar with
foot-racing will understand that
I could not accept such a
challenge, knowing that the
Champion man is running every
day. Moreover, when | challeng
ed him last L gave him three
weeks to get ready. Now, l wilt
give the 'soldier" as he signs
himself in your paper an opport-
unity to win some money, (and
glory if he CAM by proposing
that he posts forfeit with your
paper, and 1 will run him for any
distance from 100 yards to one
mile for any amout of money thai
he desires to put up. Articles
should be drawn up, and the
name of the runner published,
and l will meet him two weeks
from the day of signing of the
agreement. II that is not square
proposition, 1 do not know what
is. And that is the manner in
which l have backed my chal-
lenge all along.
Now these persons signing or
writing certain articles in the
different newspapers are either
sore on the American blue-iackets
or are trying to create ill-feeling,
between the ships in port while
l don't believe that any OF them
would put up five cents II a race
comes off or not. The fellow
who signs himself soldier" in
your paper signed himself we'll,
because nothing more could
be expected from the dear pet.
In the future, I shall take no
further notice of such trash un-
less it is backed by written
challenge and posted forfeit.
Hoping Mr.. Editor that this will
show that I am not afraid, but
always ready to back my athletic
abilities and my flag.
| remain yours,

ready in the past to see the law defied
and the negro driven from the polls,
he has even assisted in such defiance.
Why then should he expect the militia
to come to his support in enforcing an
other law quite as obnoxious to great
many of the people as the one that con-
fers suffrage npon the negro? If a peo-
pie SOW to the wind they must expect to
reap the whirlwind. IT they inculcate
by their practices the doctrine that it is
permissible to nullify one law they in
oulcate at the same time the doctrine of
the right to nullify all other laws, for
ali laws rest precisely on the same foun-
dation. Tillman is undoubtedly an in
discreet, hot-headed executive. Under the
hest of circumstances such executives are
capable of a good deal Of mischief. But
when they rule over community where
respect for law has been weakened by
quarter of eentury's disregard of it,
their capacity for mischief becomes
greatly enhanced.

A curt free from partisan bias is de-

eight feet long, SO as to sustain their

regions. They were only the width OF

The prospect of settlement of the
troubles in South Carolina without
further blood shed would be good deal
brighter if respect sor law was as strong
in that State as in the majority Of the
States of the Union. Then the sober
second thought would assert itself, and
allegiance to the law shaken for a
moment by passion and excitement,
would speedily return. But it is an un-
fortunate fact that regard for law in
South Carolina is at a very low ebb,
not among the trash of society merely
but among the most influential people
as we'll. Twenty years of force and fraud
at the polls, of Ku-Kluxism and various
other kinds of ruffiianism practiced upon
the negro without any protest from, and
even with the approval of, the best
Glasses have not been without their
natural effect. If it is no crime, and
even praiseworthy, to shoot negroes for
attempting to exercise their constitu-
tional rights, why is it criminal, why is
it not praiseworthy, to shoot constables
who are undertaking to exercise powers
of very questionable validity? If forci-
BILE resistance to undou bted law in the
one case is permissible why is not the
same resistance to doubtful law even
more permissible? TiIlman has been quite

No doubt it is due to Canadian in
fluence that the British government is
hesitating to pass the necessary legisla-
ton TO carry into effect the provisions
for the Behring SEA treaty. Canada is
opposed to the treaty and would be only
too glad to see it become dead letter
so far as it's enforcement is concerned.
A good many of her citizens want to
carry on the poaching business in Beh-
ring Sea this year as they have for many
years past. 1t is profitable business
and they hate to give it up. 1t is
scarcely probable, however, that Canada
will succeed in influencing England in
this case to the extent of inducing the
government to refrain from en-
acting the legislation necessary
for the enforcement of the
treaty, for that would be exceedingly
bad faith on England's part, and would
put her in the position of agreeing to
accept the award Of arbitrators and then
repudiating it because it was not to the
liking of one of her colonies.

purports to be despatch fro-a Gov. Till

was always opposed to the dispensary
