he wondered at, that even some
of the big millers are beginning
to get it through their dusty
cr;,,iums that it is tough work
to make the ends meet on con-
tinuously falling market. Here
and there one Of them begins to
realize the fact that with a con-
tiuuous contraction Of the'vOlumc
of money, prices must continue
to fall and that at the present
rate it will not be long before
wheat will be down to 20 cents a
busheI. They see that the money
values OF their splendid proper
t les have shrink until it is doubt
full il one OF them could be sold
to-day for one-half of what it
cost to build them. This makes
some Of them question very seri-
ously whether it would not be a
pretty good thing for theE, after
all to have a little | opulistic in
hation of the currency. And
whether it would not be to their
best interests to have the govern
ncnt control the railroads, there
by removing the power of the
railway corporations to close
down the mill by simply ordering
an advance in rates of freight,
and at the same time remove the
power Of labor organizations to
paralyze all business by. inangur-
;ting strikes upon lines Of trans
portation. These things have
produced a feeling Of respect for
the Peoples Party where former
" it was held only in contempt,
and has caused IL study of the
principle OF the party which, il
persisted in, will result in the ulti-
mate triumph OF those principles
and the salvation ofthc country.

effort is now meeting in that city
may serve as an encouragement
for a needed persistent crusade
against this evil in other cities.
A third form Of popular gamb-
ling has lately been brought to
public attention by the agitation
against it in several States. The
pool-rooms in which the traces
are played" or the pretended
commission houses which trans
nit bets to the races, have lately
become q flourishing agency for
gambling, with houses dan
branch Offices at the centers OF
population, and runners and tele-
phone connections reaching out
for the country trade. Our cities
cannot permit poolselling all the
year round on the racing OF
horses, without sowing q perpet-
dal crop of dishonesty and detail
cations among clerks and en-
ployees in positions of trust.
Those States which have not al
ready amended snd sharpened
their'general gambling statutes to
meet this peculiar kind of COM
mission betting, will need to take
vigilant action, or the managers
OF these ROOMS, driven from New
York, Connecticut, and ever
New Jersey, by recent Legislation
, will transfer their operations
/ races, pool-rooms, telegraph in
strum .nts, and all - to those
States whore the laws offer tt
them the least resistance. Uni.

More Coming.

1t seems that every country
in Europe has q bone to pick
with Hawaii. In the Atlantes,
a Greek paper publishedinNew
York, appears a report in
which it is stated that the
Greek Senate, in compliance
with an interrogation of a pro-
minent senator, has taken up
the treatment Of Messrs. Cam
arinos and Lycurgus, Greek
subjects who recently have
been subjected to illegal i'm
prisonment and exile by the
hunds Of the Hawaiian Gov
ernment. The question of the
damages done to the said
gentlemen IN financial as wei
as personal regards was dwell
on at length and the Minister
OF. Foreign Affairs promised tc
cause an immediate investiga-
ton and, as there was no Greek
CONSUL in Hawaii, to pursue
said investigation through the
Greek Minister to London.

Trusts.

In yesterdays issue we called
attention to the Oil trust which
for the second time dominates
our local market, and forces the
people TO pay for kerosene oil
any exorbitant figure which the
trust may see fit ITO place on that
necessary article. The battle
against the gigantic trusts in the
United States continues unabated,
but the difficulties and obstacles
which the people meet seem
insurmountable if most ra-
dical measures are Mt adopted.
The following paragraph from the
S. r. Wa0e gives an idea Of the
sentiment in the States:
Our attention has been directed
to /" recent decision Of the United
States Supreme Court which,
while not holding the ."Sherman
Anti Trust Act" to be unconsti-
tutional, does declare that it can
have no application to combina-
tions such as the Sugar Trust.
The prevailing opinion of the
Court holds that that institution
is engaged primarily in manu-
featuring, and only secondarily
in selling, and, therefore, cannot
be considered as q combination
in restrain of Interstate com.
merce falling within the power OF
Congress. This decision, our cor.
respondent concludes, summarily
knocks out all hope of ever reg
ulating the operations of the Oil
Trust by Congressional enact
ment. The decision, it is true
practically nullifies the act, SC
far as its operations bear upor
combinations similar to the sugar
trust; but it settles the law and
defines the limit beyond which
Congress cannot go, and this II
something. If the people reall,
desire to bring these oommercia
giants under the regulating in'
) fuence of Congress, they ma.
easily do SO by an amendment t.
the Constitution. Whenever two
thirds of both Houses deem
necessary, Congress must pro
pose amendments to the Consti
tuition, or on the application o
the Legislatures of two-thirds O
the several States, shall call
convention for proposing amend
ments, which in either case shal
be valid when ratified bv tn
Legislatures of three-fourths O
the several States or by a conven-
ton of three : fourths thereof
There is probability that som
such action will be taken, Hos
tility toward trusts is increasing
among the masses, and the irri
tation which they excite develop
, a strong tendency in the directioI
, of unreasoning hostility towar
all forms of wealth. If til
a wealthy who are employing thei
capital in fields outside of thei
q lines be wise, they will quicke
! the action of Congress in sub
mitting an amendment to th
. various States, for there is
decided danger that a few year
hence, if the irritation continue
the innocent may be made
a suffer as well as the guilty.

prisoner appeared in his own

al yesterday.
A collection was taken up a
short while ago for the bene-

After the baseball game the

Political Prisoners.

We have in a former issue
pointed out to the government
that the sore spot in the Ha-
waiian's heart to-day is the
political prisoner, and the
treatment that is dealt to
him by the authorities. The
INDEPENDENT desires to tell the
truth. Nothing sensational
will be found in it's columns
that might serve political pur-
poses or help to continue the
ill feeling now existing and
daily being promoted.
The Mdkdaindn0, a leading
Hawaiian newspaper, publishes
in it's issue to-day an alleged
report of the treatment of the
prisoners now kept at Kahalil.
Onomea, Hawaii. A letter
has been received,i it is claimed,
by a relation of one of the
prisoners now in Hilo, in
which it is stated that the
gang sent to Hawaii are not
treated as they should ber or,
as we are assured, the govern
ment desires them to be treated
They claim that they hard
ly ever taste poi their main
and natural food. They claim
that half-cooked rice is theil
staple food. The Hawaiians
in Hilo it is stated, have offer,
ed to furnish the prisoners with
all necessary. poi. The offel
Z was declined, although nc
charges for the food to be fur
nished were exacted. 1t is
claimed that the men have tc
work 10 hours day in damp
and wet weather, and that
they feel broken down il
health and spirit. They say
that if they complain acids ar
used as punishment on thel
bodies or poisons administered
to them.

boating and horse races are
the topics of the day, it is well
to throw out a warning against
the gambling spirit which dur
ing past years has pervaded
this community and nearly
succeeded in killing all true
sports. Mr.. Richards, who is
a genuine and honest sports
man, and who has done much
to bring baseball in the Ka-
mehameha schools to the high
standard of to-day, made a for
cible appeal iu favor of "clean"
sport a short while ago in a
local journal. The following
article from the Forum con-,
densed for Public Opinion will
help to show that the battle
against gambling" is not
alone waged in missionary Ha-
wall but finds powerful
echo all over the world. We
may yet to.day be able to read
Rev. Newman Smyth's ar
ticle and striking our breast

NIT our guilt and bend our
! heads to every word said by
the preacher in the Forum, For
the gambling spirit is rampant
in this town. The writer says
as follows:

Mlsfortune at Corvallis.

A dispatch to Rock Island aud Mo-
line last night brought the news that
the Coast Carriage works at Corval-
lis had assigned. The company, it
will be remembered, was composed
of Col. H. B. Burgh, l. ID. Burgh and j.
F. Robinson, of Rock Island: and A. E.
Lyford, James Cheney, Thomas Jen-
kins and the late William Uhlmann,
Of Moline. The latter suicided there
some weeks ago. evidently in an
ticipation of the crisis that was COM
ing on. The company started six
months ago with an invested capital
of 100000. There were few
claims hanging over the company,
and it is believed the creditors de
clined to consider overtures for an
extension and pushed the works to
the wall. 1t is to be hoped arrange
ments can be made for q resumption.
