MISSIONARIES of the Christian church
have raised S2.o in Kansas for hos
pital at an interior town in India. Why
not give this 81, 900 to some Kansas
hospital? There is suffering all around
us. Some people are so grief-stricken
over people ten thousand miles away,
and withhold the hand of charity from
their fellowmen at home, The foreign
mission business ought to be wiped out
until the home mission has accom-
plished all it can.-Topeka Journal.

EVERY American is called upon to
note the fact that England is busy max
ing an addition to her money vaults and
that the accumulation of the yellow me-
tai in those vaults betokens greater
prosperity. The Kansas farmer, try
ing to market his corn at IA cents and
talk for gold standard at the same
time, ought certainly to have great
joy(?)

ACCORDING to the most careful-esti-
mates made by the departments of
various governments, as well as by in
dividuals, the wheat crop of the world
for 1895 is aga, 900, 900 bushels below
that of last year. The Liverpool Corn
Trade News estimates that the world S
wheat crop of 1898 was short 40, ooo,
900 bushels, and that of 1895 is short
100, 900. 900 bushels; according to the
same authority shipment to Europe now
falls short of actual requirements.

Andthatis to themselves. When
in power they snubbed and
scorned their supporters, and
patronized and favored the

When in trouble, be it for an
election or a revolution they
remembered every man on
"their side" and they cringed
and begged for support. When
the collapse came and some of
the men who had stood faith

wall for services rendered to the
men who enjoyed their bounti-
full table, their social entertain
ment and their general pres
tige their memory grew short
and the services rendered were
forgotten, alike with the rend-

But if history should bring
it, so, that the same "leaders'
again came on top and that
the "Royalist" party was "in
it," services would again be in
demand, sympathy for hard
ships formerly endured be
rendered, and unlimited pro-
misses and assurances be the
order of the day.
At that time it will be well

two days out from Sydney, jumped

What Others Say Of Us.

The N. Y. Nation OF April 11th
says: The antics of the nine
teen men who now constitute the
republic of Hawaii are actually
amusing in their audacity. When
they declared martial law, they
expressly stated that the. courts
will remain in session and conduct
ordinary business as usual, ex-
cept as to the issue of writs Of
habeas corpus. Yet hundreds Of
citizens were seized without war
rant, imprisoned without arraign.
ment, and tried for suspected
treason before military com
mission, being denied the right
of trial by jury guaranteed by the
Hawaiian constitution, The stu.
alton is closely analogous to the
famous Mulligan case passed up
on by the Supreme Court. Mul-
llgan was convicted of treason
able conspiracies by military
commission and sentenced to be
hanged. But the Supreme Court
interviewed, and declared that in a
place where actual war did not
exist, and where the civil courts
were open, no man could be de-
prived of-life or liberty by a mill
tary commission. That was not
"due process of law" The Ha-
waiian nineteen seem to have
heard of this decision, and so
have gone to wo.k aud passed
acts validating all chat they have
done. AS executive they override
the laws and constitution, and
then as legislature the same
precious nineteen pass acts de-
claring all they had done to have
been within the constitutional
authority of the President" and
the suit for damages or prosecution
for malfeasance in Office can not be
brought against the government
or any officer there Of. This is
the boldest trick that the
usurpers have PLAYED yet. They
admit that they have imprisoned
and fined citizens without due
process of law, but scornfully
remind victims that they arc the
legislative branch, as we'll as the
executive and judicial, and that
no redress can be had. But, of
course. no one but a kakuna, or a
man whose chastity or liberty.
loving principles are under grave
suspicion, will see in such con.
duct but pure deration to free in
stitutions and religion.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.
A House on Liliha Street
has a Marrow Escape.

AT twenty minutes to eight
o'clock last night, a lamp was
accidentally turned over in a
house occupied by George Wond
on Lil!ha Street. and set fire to a
mattress and other bedding.
gorge Woolsey, who rents an
adjoining house, rushed in and
dragged the BURNING material to
the outside. He bu1ued his hands
severely n doing this service.
Aualauu was turned in, and the
bell rang in the main tower.
The first machine to arrive was
the chemical eng'na, in charge of
Engineer Bromley. Steamer No. 1
was quickly after the chemical
engine, in charged of Engineer P.
Hughes, Before the arrival of
the firemen, however, the fire had
been put out with pals of waterl
A large crowdd had gathered in
the meantime and Liliha Street
was more lively than it had been
since several months ago, when a
Chinaman was burned to death in
his cabin back of Mr.. McNenney's.
Mr.. Wond, occupant of the
house, IS engineer on the steamer
Kaala, and that steamer was ap-
preaching port at the time, his
home was threatened with the
flames. The house is one of row
of three belonging to Thomas
Silva. Only the prompt action of
the neighbors saved the house
from serious damage if not de-
straction.

him that he had been emm emily
successful in his mission to the
Colonies. IL is Mr.. Larkr's
opinion that the proposed cable
between Australia and British
Columbia will be completed in
the near future. Mr.. Mckenzie
says that from what he could
learn before leaving Sydney no
further effort will be made to
interest the Government of
Hawaii in the cable scheme. If
the latter want the cable to touch

true that most important let
tcrs are lost so frequently.
The letter of the ex-Queen
in which she offered to grant
a free pardon or anything else
towards her opponents was
miscarried, and Minister Willis
was thereby banked in his
natural efforts of carrying out
Mr.. Cleveland's instructions.
The letter from the United
States government to Willis in
which the demand for the re-
call Of Thurston is made was
also miscarried, and it went to
China or japan or some other
distant country.
Minister Willis is extremely
unfortunate in regard to his
mail.
IF His Excellency would
accept q free and gratis ad-
vice., he would establish a
service of his own, and avoid
the serious faults of the inter
national postal union.
Mr.. Thurston, however
knew nothing of Mr.. Gresham s
ideas and he simply travelled
to Hawaii as a yirtuous he al
ways was and dignifed diplo-
mat. The letter which con-
tained his disgrace went to
China, Japan or India or to
anywhere else except to Mr..
Willis, and Mr.. Thurston ap-
peared in his usual role as the
promoter Of the Hawaiian Re-
public and it's great represen-
tative in the United States.
The letter is here now and
it settles Mr.. Thurston as a
diplomat. Of course the wrong
| is on the side of Mr.. Gresham,
| but somehow or other he is in
vulgar parlance the upper
dog" Nobody here who
knows Thurston would dispute
his good qualities for diploma
tic services. He is polite,
elegant and refined. He is q
man of the world, dignified and
suave. He is in fact just the
kind of cattle that q govern
ment would send as it's repre-
sentative to a foreign power
and there do it full justice
The only thing that we fear is
that our national pride, oul
diplomatic, our Thurston lacks
is courage. He ran away The

Annexation.

The INDEPENDENT is in favor
of anything, that some day or
other may bring prosperity to
Hawaii nei. If annexation to
the United States is the goal
that brings US wealth, by all
means let us have annexation.
The official morning paper
tells us with a kind of ferocious
Joy that Morgan or Harrison
have joined hands as far as the
annexation of Hawaii is con-
csrned.
The two gentlemen are un-
doubtedly highly estimable.
We have in fact never known
any Morgan or Harrison to be
otherwise. But to decide the
fate of a nation, to deprive
people of it's independence
simply because Morgan and
Harrison are mentioned is
hardly in accord with modern
ideas.
If the people of Hawaii
want to be annexed to the
great republic, let them apply
for it,,
If the men who control the
government of Hawaii today
are earnestly and sincerity in
favor of annexation, let them
repeat the application made in
1898, and let the men who
now back them be convinced
of the sincerity of their actions.
Annexation means great ad-
vantages to the people of Ha-
wall. 1t may mean wealth
and prosperity to all. But it
means the loss of independence,
the loss of national existence
and self-esteem.
The great republic Of Amer
lea will never pass an act that
will enable an administration
to force q foreign nation into
it's dominion, and that will
force the Stars and Stripes
over unwilling citizens. Nor
gan and Harrison may be
good and honest men. Ii they
.
are they will admit that the
rights of the Hawaiian must
and shall be protected and that
the stealing or absorbing of
their country shall not be con-
sumated until the aboriginal
owners of the soil call out
'annex u.s."
If the Hawaiians can be
taught to realize that annex
alton and subsequent loss of
independence means gain,
honor and prosperity, they will
be the first to come forward
and ask for a shelter under the
glorious flag Of the republic.
If arguments and proofs to
that effect are not forthcoming
the Hawaiian will stand alooi
and annexation will simply
mean conquest by the strong
er - by the ilk of Morgan and
Harrison.
