they should be selected. Public
sentiment demands this and the
demand is just.
But there is another phase of the
matter which is more serious than
that already indicated. We are
led 10 infer from what occurred in
the Councils, that Mr.. Damon of
fered this appointment, or decided
to offer it, without so much as
consulting the head of the bureau,
the Postmaster-General. If this
is true, we are bound to say
that the course of the Minis
ter was an extremely improper
one, and one which if pur-
sued further can not fail gravely to
impede the harmonious admins
tration of the Government. Moth
ing is more certain than that the
heads of bureaus, being responsible
for the conduct of their subordin-
ates, should be left large liberty
in their selection. To override and,
worse still, to ignore the Postmaster
General in such a transaction, is to
usurp his function and reduce him
to a mere clerk.
We are 10th to point even
the mildest criticism at the
Minister of Finance, whose great
public services have justly entitled
him to the gratitude of the coun-
try. He has managed the financial
department of the Government with
a zeal and intelligence which could
not well have been spared in the
past, and which the annexation
party would be unwilling to- forego
il the future. The party is the
more anxious that his course
in other particulars should
command the same general ap-
proval.

TROUBLE AT .KOLOA.
Plantation Hands Object to Being
Beaten.

The plantation hands at Koloa,
Kauai, numbering about $50 men,
are ON the war-path, parading the
streets with clubs and jack-knives.
The trouble arose over one of the
lunas, Mr.. Schimmelpfennig,
beating one of the Japanese lab
orers last Friday. The Japanese
were indignant and they rose up
in a body and went for the luna,
who barely escaped with his life.
They then organized themselves
and refused to go to work Ill the
matter could be laid before their
Consul In Honolulu. They formed
into small groups, armed themselves
with clubs and de6ed arrest.
When the Mikahala left, they were
still masters of the situation. Mr..
K. Okkotsu, the Japanese inspec-
tor, left on the Mikahala last night
to inquire into the matter and see
that his countrymen go back to
work and remain peaceful.

POWER TO WHOM POWER BELONGS.

The matter of the appointment
of a successor to Mr.. Rothwell in
the Post Office was made the sub
ject of some sharp discussion in
the Councils yesterday. It seems
that Minister Damon has sent for
Mr.. J. w. Girvin, of San Diego,
Cal, to fill the vacancy, and is
awaiting response by the next
Australia.
For very obvious reasons the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Girvin is objec-
tionable, and it cannot be expected
to receive the endorsement of the
Annexation party. We do not dis
pute Mr.. Girvin's qualifications for
the position, and indeed upon the
showing made by the Attorney
General, he would seem to be
qualified in perhaps a marked de-
gree. But this circumstance does
not touch the objection based upon
the fact that he is a nonresident,
who has left the Islands with his
family and made his home else
where. 1t would be absurd to sup
pose that there are no supporters of
the Government available for this
position, as competent as they are
loyal. They can be found, and

WE publish this morning the
conclusion of Prof. Alexander's
invaluable historical sketch. 1t
includes description of the opium
scandal, the exposure of which led
to the revolution of 1887, and thus
indirectly to that of 1893. The
publication of this paper in both
the ADVERTISER and GAZETTE has
made it accessible to practically
all the readers of the English
language on these islands. Desir-
ing, however, to give it still
wider currency, and at the same
time a more compact and conve-
nient form, we have decided to
issue it in the form of pamphlet,
suitable for mailing to friends
abroad, and also for preservation
at home. The pamphlet will APP
pear tomorrow.

YESTERDAY was a day of battle
in the session of the Councils, with
much talking and little doing.
Practically, the whole time was
absorbed in listening to the read
ing of protests, petitions, resolu-
tions, etc, which came out of the
bosom of the American League.
Each document took its way to
committee, the table, or the pigeon
hole. So far as political activity
is concerned, the League seems to
be ahead thus far, and the Annexa-
ton Club, with its membership
mounting into the thousands, was
simply "not in it"

1t is said that one-sixth of
plantation laborers' time is
consumed in keeping their
cane knives sharp. This we
believe is owing to the fact
that files are used for the pur-
pose and a lasting edge is not
put on the blade. The Frank
Walcot Emery File must very
soon supplant the file as a
whet stone, because the effect
is quicker and the result much
more satisfactory. We've been
sharpening all sorts of cutlery
during the past week with one
of these sharpeners and find
we can put an edge on a knife
or a pair of scissors quicker
with it than by any other
means. We sell them for
half a dollar and the supply is
limited; order now if you want
one.
Now that the plantation
managers are working day and
night to produce sugar and
sell it for a shade less than it
costs to make it, it is necessary
for them to practice economy
at every corner. We can help
them materially in the matter
of supplies, because our prices
are considerably less than in
other stores and the quality
of the goods superior to the
average run. We have had
wonderful success with our
Colorado brand of lubricating
oils, because they are manu-
featured of the very best
ingredients. The engine oil
has taken the place of lard oil
on many plantations and there
is no reason why it should not
on all. There's economy in
using these oils just as there is
in using the Hendry Breaker
and the Hendry Double Fur
row plows. If you can save
time of two or four mules or |
horses you are just that much |
in pocket, because you can use
them for other purposes. Our
stock of plantation supplies is
complete.

In the report of the session of
the Councils, published on another
page, will be found a statement of
the national indebtedness, which
discloses a very encouraging state
of affairs. In spite of many cir
cumstances of peculiar difficulty
and of prophecies of bankruptcy,
the Hawaiian Government is
stronger and sounder financially
than it was before the 18th of
January. A revolutionary gov
eminent which includes among
the triumphs of its first year the
improvement of the national credit
and finances is wonder among
it's kind. The confidence of bust
ness men has been great source
of strength, and skillful manage
ment has done much.

THE DEATH-KNELL OF DEMOCRACY

Concerning the Hawaiian ques-
ton, Mr.. Cleveland apparently has
not changed his mind. He main
tains that Mr.. Blount's report
''shows beyond all question that
the monarchy was overthrown by
the active aid of the American Min
ister." The message goes on to
say:
"With the view of accomplishing
this result-'to restore as far as prac-
ticable the status existing at the time
of our forcibIe ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the constitutional limits of executive
power, and recognizing all our obliga
tions and responsibilities growing out
of any changed conditions brought
about by our uDjustifiable interfer-
ence, our present Minister to Hawaii
|, has received appropriate instructions
to that end"
This means that Minister Willis
has instructions to restore the mon
archy. If these instructions are
carried out, the Cleveland Admin
istration will be doing exactly
what it condemned the Harrison
Administration for doing-to wit,
overturning a friendly government.
This journal has from the first been
opposed to annexation. But oppos-
ing annexation and advocating
monarchy are two very different
things. There is government in
Hawaii de facto government. It
is Republican in form. If it is not
what the Hawaiian people want,
they can overturn it. They can re-
place it with whatsoever form of
government best pleases them. But
if the present Democratic Admins
tration of the United States over
turns a Republican government, no
matter how begotten, and replaces
it with a monarchical government,
no matter how overthrown, it will
be the death-knell of the Demo-
cratic party, which is already very,
very ills. F. Argonaut.

what does any good democrat think Of

greatly for this reason: There have been so
many lies printed about this section. so many
false statements made, that some people
wee actually afraid to come here. 1t is a

many coed people here now that this change
has taken place, and after they once locate
here and learn from experience of our pos
sibilities they will remain, their friends will
follow them and eventually benefit us all,
not that the change in administration will
make times better of itself, but it will inspire
confidence in the hearts of some who under
any other circumstances could not be per
suaded to come to this section, and the only
pon, just now is to get them here; we know
they will remain. Then again it has taught

The feeding of wheat to animals
has become so general that requests
are now constantly received at the
agriculture department for intorma-
tion as to the best methods Of feed
ing that grain to cattle and hogs,
says Washington dispatch. In
discussing the subject in an inter:
view Secretary Morton said: "Wheat
value as an animal food is great.
But the wheat must be used care
fully and with due regard to the
habits and environment of the ami,
mails and the feeding accompanying
it. Fattening animals are found to
thrive on it. The profit IN feeding
wheat, when that cereal and corn
are taken at the same price, is great
er than IN feeding the latter. Wheat
weighs 7 per cent heavier than corn
The South Dakota experiment sta
tion has made very comprehensive
and exhaustive experiment in feed
ing ground wheat to hogs. The
pork from that feeding is said to be
superior to any other. The feed
ing should be begun by giving very
small quantities to the animal. II
should he mixed with chopped hay
or other grain"

Trouble with Georgia Negroes.

Near Quitman,, Ca, there is a
race war on of considerable magnl-
tude, if the telegraphic dispatches
ale correct. Last Thursday Joseph
II. lsom, a farmer, a good citizen
and very popular man, was muir
dered by a party of negroes and it
leaked out that the killing was a
part of a plot to kill all the whites
who were in the posse which few
weeks ago arrested Jesse Jeffreth
for the killing of T. Moulde. The
negroes outnumber the whites in
that section of the county and the
killing created great deal of ex-
citement. 1t developed :. that the
same pegroes had sworn to kill
other white men.
The. e.whites collected and caught
end put seven negroes to death. 1t
is not certain whether they got the
ringleader, negro named Pike.
About a mile end a halt, from the
home of the Isoms 200 whites, all
armed to the! teeth, were stationed
Saturday. Half a mile farther was
Il crowd of negroes about, the same
size, armed with Winehesters, pis-
tolls, axes, clubs and every conceiv.
able weapon, waiting for the whites
to attack them.

Isom, is dong all in his power to
restrain the whites,
Details of the killing of the seven
negroes are very meager. Taylor,
Frazier, Pike and Sherard were to-
gether about sunset Friday. They
were regarded as the leaders in the
conspiracy to kill and burn. A
half dozen whites came upon them
and attempted to arrest them. One

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
GLEN ALLEN.

The Glen Allen Baptist church is
meeting in the new house of wor-
ship. The pastor is Rev. W. R.
Moore of Fredericktown.
This church was organized last
May, and as we had no house of our
own we have been holding our
meetings in the Methodist church
building, and for which courtesy
the Baptists individually feel very
grateful and the church voted a
unanimous resolution of thanks.
Glen Allen is making wonderful
progress religiously and the outlook
is encouraging, indeed, for more
Improvement along that line. 1t is
very likely that the Congregations
al Methodists will organize church
here in the near future, which will
be the means, no doubt, of much
more good being done. 1t seems
like the people Of Glen Allen and
vicinity generally are preparing to
fight the devil. May God, in His
infinite wisdom, guide and direct
the footsteps Of the youth of this
neighborhood, is the prayer of all
the Christian people here. Relig-
ious services are held as follows:
Sunday school at The Methodist
church every Sunday at 10 O'Clock;
J. Fl. Zimmerman, superintendent.
Preaching at the same place the
first and third Sunday evenings in
each month. Services at the. Bap-
tist church the second Sunday in
each month by Rev. D. L. Bowman
of Marble Hill; also on Saturday
before third. Sundays our regular
church meeting occurs; preaching
at II a. m. Sunday following. All
sister churches are cordially invited
to attend our church meetings.
