THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Congressman Hit Says That It is Very
Live Question Yet.
To The News by Associated Press.


To The Ne,cs bp Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. Representa-
tive Hit of Illinois the head OF the Re-
publican minority of the committee on
foreign affairs, has returned to Wash
ington. Owing to sickness in his fam
iIy he was unable to take
any part in the preparations of the mi
nority report on the Hawaiian situation,
but he will support it on the floor when
the resolution comes up for debate.
s'It is evidently the determination OF the
administration to allow the Hawaiian
matter to drag" said Mr.. Hill,
sand that way the position of the
Democrats in congress. But can it drop?
Suppose with our policy of non-interfor-
ence the Hawaiians accept terms with
Canada for the British government
This administration has declared il to be
the policy OF the government not to
allow foreign interference with Hawaii
or that the islands should not become
n part of some other country. Notwith-
standing the desire on the part of the
administration TO allow the matter to
rest and that nothing shall be done, there
are circumstances which make il live
question and one that cannot be SO easily
disposed Of"

Ger in the British army and was one
of tho famous six hundred who stormed

up his British commission and
Joined the Union army. Though
a man of superior education and attain
ments and though possessed of property
in Chicago and in this city and other
places in Kansas, besides the pensions he
drew from the British and American
governments he never spent a cent. He
lived in litter, dressed in rags and ate the
refuse from hotel and restaurant kitchens.
His place OF habitation is unknown, so 1t
has not been possible to determine just
what he possessed, but he is said to have
been worth $4,000.

The payment by the Consolidated rail-

S477T05 for the possession OF the old depot

supposed by some TO involve the entire

The price paid for this land wss Si.25 per

There is no use making much fuss about
William A. Bennett, the missing teller of
the Globe National bank He is miser-
able thief fleeing from justice, just the
samc "a any other criminal.
He has not been spccuiating. he has not
been gambling, and from ali that can bc
CLEANED about him he hadn't the neccs-
sary nerve to do much of anything TO at
tract attention but put his hand in a
lot of money that was easy Of
access and make off with it. A bootblack
or tramp could do rs much. The par
ticularly exasperating thing about this
theft is that Bennett stole from
a concern that was generous to
him and jcopardized the interests
OF men who were his steadfast friends and
material advancers. a more miserable
act Of miscreant might be performed,
but stealing from ones friends finds no
sympathy with men with a particle
of decency in them. Those who were
his friends are now determi ined to find the
thief and make him feel the force of the
law and realize the path OF the trans
gressor Is hard. The two surety COM
panies named on Bennotts' bond hnvc put
their interest in the hands OF the Piulserton
detective agency and n warrant has been
sworn out by President Sims OF Che bank,
and issued by United States Commis-
sioner John II. Blodgctt. The warrant says
that $4,000 were stolen, and il j. in tho
hands OF United States Marshal Ken
drick. Now it is only a question OF time
when Bennett VIII be in this state and
arraign1d for robhing the Globe bank.

the hearing is had on the application for
a permanent injunction. The attempt of
the Consolidated to control the freight
traffic and thereby prevent competition,

in recognition of the satisfactory treat

which seeks to initiate against
the business interests OF the community
should be carefully analyzed, particularly
at time when the city, having adjusted

The West End Whist Club.

The w. E. w. c., recently Or
gained social institution, held it's first
meeting on Tuesday evening, last, at
the residence Of Mrs. Jas. A. O'Neil,
and to say that it was a great success
is but a. faint expression Of the pleasure
that all experienced who were fortunate
enough to be the guests of the club on
that occasion. The charming hostess,
Miss Edna, and her hospitable family
spared no paiI.s to make the occasion
one of unalloyed pleasure for their
guests, and that they were more than
successful, was attested by the many
smiling faces that surrounded the
perfectly equipped whist tables. upon
which were four dainty boutonnieres
Of fragrant violets.
The lords of creation are. believe,
generally of the preiudiced opinion that
in that most scientific of all card games,
whist-the immortal poker always ex-
cepted-their fair sisters are less expert
than their noble selves, but they were
agreeably disappointed by the ladies
OF the w. E. w. c.. and their charm
ing visitors, all agreeing, however
reluctantly, that they were equalled if
not out-classed by their gentle op-
pOnents.
The prizes were for the best players,
two silver disks to be worn as pins
with w. E. w. e. engraved upon
them, and two of the same design. but
OF copper, for the boobies. These pins
are to be worn by their respective
winners until the next meeting of the
club, when they again become the
object of friendly contest.
On this occasion the silver pins were
won by Miss Augusta Cecil Blacknall
and Mr.. Henry Macy, and the copper,
by Miss Ella Belle Boyd and Mr.. Chic
Young. Mr.. Julian Ingle, Jr., pre-
sented the prizes amid much merriment.

IT'S YOUR DUTY TO VOTE.

Some times we hear good men ex-
pressing an Indifference abou, voting.
They say they will have nothing to do
with politics, that they are not going
TO vote, and haven't time to go TO the
election, &c. 10 such men the GOLD
LEAF would respectfully, but earnestly
saw it is your QuN to UOte. You raise
the cry of corruption and bribery when
some one sells his vote for dollar,
but withhold your own vote because
you can make ten cents by attending
to some little matter of detail that
could as easily be done at any other
time. There is little difference between
selling your vote square out TO the
wrong candidate and Withholding it
from the right one on account OF
pecuniary loss to yourself. You cali
one corruption, the other is " cowardly
makeshift" that can deceive no honest
man, and, in its results may be as
baneful as the corruption itself We
say this in all respect and due Difference,
but it is fact that can not be gain
said as far as the general effect is con
ce-ned If you are honest your vote
withheld makes it easier for dishonest
men TO be elcCted-assist the worst
men of the community at the expense
of the best 1t is virtually selling out
to the extent of your vote to whatever
is evil in politics. Every honest man
will vote if possible if he thinks about
the matter for few minutes. Is not
this true? We think you will agree
with us that it is. Have you con-
sidered the matter in that light before?
If not, then we ask you TO think OF
what you would be doing to stay away
from the polls next Tuesday, and go
and vote your honest convictions like
the free and independent man you
are.
