features Of the Hawaiian situation,
President Dole and his advisers are en-
gagged in drafting a constitution for
the republic Of Hawaii The white
citizens and many Of the natives OF
Honolulu and other commercial points
have come TO the conclusion that the
formation Of an Independent republic
would solve all of their difficulties.
They know that such a government, IL
honestly administered, would be per
fectly secure, as the United States
could not, and would not, let any Eu-
ropesn power interfere with rs affairs
Thsre is no doubt that the establish
men Of a stable government at Homo
lulu would be hailed with delight at
Washington, as IL would end further
negotiations FOR annexation and con-
e~essions. Should q Hawaiian republic
be established &r. Dole would prOba-
bly, be its president and Mr.. Thurstou
its secretary Of state.

Great Fires.

Two hundred and twenty.eight
years ago, from the second to the
sixth of September, the city of Lon
don, even then the metropolis of Eng.
land, was place of terror. A fire
broke out in a small wooden building,
and spread from that insignificant be-
ginning. until in three days time all
the buildings on an area of 43e acres,
l3,200 in number, were destroyed.
The magnificent church of st. Paul's.
ninety.six smaller churches and al.
most all the public buildings, were
destroyed, inaicting loss of $53, ,652,.
600. Many years were needed for the
city to recover. On September IA,
1872, the Russians set fire to the city
of Moscow, for the purpose of driving
out the French army under Napoleon.
The confiagratiqn ragged for five days,
10000 houses were burned, and the
money loss was $3.50, 100000. Full re.
covery never came. October 8, 1871,
there broke out in Chicago, the great.
est fire of modern times. 1t lasted
two days, and 1900 buildings were
burned, involving a loss of $l95, 5,0OO,.
900. In 1875. the city was rebuilt
better than ever. What rendered it
possible was the existence OF railroads
like the Burlington which carried
assistance to the homeless at once,
and building materials later. They
are the great modern 'lndispcnsible, -
and the moral of it is that in buying
railroad tickets to any Of ;'e priAci.
pal western. cities, yAu should secure
them via the burlington Route. For
maps, time tables. tickets. ETC., call
on YOU: home ticket agent, or write
