That pet government of Hawaii, which
was the occasion or cause of so
much dirt throwing at Mr.. Cleve-
land, has lately begun to show itself
in Its true colors, and to turn out
lust as The Statesman ''ventured to as
can form Of government The 10 men that
compose the government recently declared
martial law, but they have permitted the
courts to exercise their civil functions eX-
cept as to the writ of habeas corpus.
Thus fortified, the 10 have made arrests
indiscriminately and generally, without
warrant or due process of law. Very soon,
however, with open courts, they found
themselves liable to civil and criminal ac-
tons for false Imprisonment, and to pre-
vent that, as legislative branch, they
have passed laws exempting all officers
from civil and criminal prosecution for
the violation Of law, and the same 10, as
an executive head, have approved the laws
passed by them in legislative capacity.
Japan was ridiculed by an opera bouffe,
in which the lord high execution
err represented in his own individuality all
the other officers of the kingdom and had
to be bribed in each office. This little
coterie down in Samoa is the only histori-
cal and genuine illustration of such a
government. This little miserable traves-
ty of republican form of government
in Samoa was the cause of so much in
dignatiOn expressed against Mr.. Cleve-
land. If President Harrison had been
permitted to hold on to the presidency of
the United States six months longer he
would have had this farce of a govern
ment united with this country in COM
mon nationality. The wisdom of Mr..
Cleveland's course is beginning to be
demonstrated.

HUNTINGTON ARRESTED.
He is Charged With Violating the Inter
state Commerce Law.

New York, April 22.-Collis p. Hunt
ington, president of the Southern Pa
ciic railroad, was arrested today on a
charge of giving free pass to one
Frank Young in violation of the interstate
commerce law. President Huntington
was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Shields. He was repre-
scented by his counsel, Frederick r. Cou
dert. Huntington admitted his identity.
He was taken before Judge Brown of
the United States district court for a
warrant of removal to California.
The Indictment against Huntington was
certified copy of which was. sent to
United States District Attorney McFar-
lane, who notified the railroad president
to appear before United States commits
sioner and furnish bonds. When Mr..
Huntington was arraigned Commissioner
Shields said the question he would in
quire into was that of identity, which
Mr.. COudert said would be admitted.
An order was made holding him to await
the issue of warrant of removal. COun-
sci then went before Judge Brown of
the United States district court and APP
pearance was fixed for next Thursday,
Mr.. Huntington, in the meantime, being
allowed to go on his own recognizance.
Mr.. Huntington said to a reporter:
Il have known Frank Young for %
years." he said. He is a San Francisco
man. would not call him wicked man,
for wicked men do not do things that way
may have given him a pass; | probably
did so, but | give out so many passes
that l do not remember one-third of them.
The passes usually given out are en-
dorsed, as the rule requires, Not good
outside the State and / presume his pass
was not so stamped, and he took ad-
vantage of it,
II do not know anything about the mat
ter beyond that, for l don't pay any at
tention to such things. In fact. l don't
care penny one way or the other.
Il really don't know what action was
taken in court this morning. Some rou-
tine business, | suppose it was, but l did
not pay any attention.
Arrests are made among the high and
low, and criminal proceedings are not
confined to any class. l don't know what
will be done. l guess Frank got a pass
all right but | have no time to attend to
all the little details. l have too much
else to do.
Il think the root of the whole matter
lies in the fact that when became presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific | discharged
70 men out in San Francisco, who were.
so far as | could see merely political
agents and go-between for the politicians.
so cut them off. Perhaps they are hun
cry now and have got to make a strike
somewhere"

A BLESSED DELIVERANCE.

This is the effected when the hostile dis
turbance of the liver, known as bilious
ness, ceases through the benign operation
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters. Pain in
the right side and under the right should
er blade yellowness of the skin and eye
balls, "fur' upon the tongue, morning
nausea, vertigo, sour breath irregulaTitr
of the bowels and sick headache, are
among the distressing symptoms which
take their departure when the great anti
bilious medicine is resOrted to. Chills and
fever, kidney and bladder trouble, rheu-
matism, dyspepsia and nervousness are
also remedied by the Btters, which is,
also a superb tonic and promoter of sleep
and appetite. Use the Bitters persistent
ly 'and not by fits and starts. Speedy
good results will follow.

THE BLACKMAILERS OF COM
MERGE,

The most alarming thing in this country
is the control that combinations of CAPT
tai are rapidly obtaining on all the pro
ducts of the soil. We have the sugar
trust, the oil trust, the wheat trust, the
beef trust, the hog trust, the whisky trust
and so on to the end, covering everything
the people need or their necessities de-
mand.
As soon as n product becomes of sutf-
cient Importance, combination OF
wealthy men form syndicate or part
nership by which they control the pro
ducts in all the markets of the world.
These men having the wealth they corner
the laws Of trade and twist them ODE
dent to their will and to their profit.
This is absolutely levying the blackmail
of wealth ON all the necessaries of life.
We pay tax to city, coun-
ty, State and to the general
government, and in addition to
this tax we pay bonus to these syndi-
Gates to be permitted to buy the flour,
bacon and beef we eat. It is not neces-
sary factor in trade, as often the middle
man is, but it is absolutely a tax we pay
to wealth.
This is very dangerous feature intrud-
ed into a republican form of government
and it is calculated to arouse reprisals

Mr.. Evans is respectfully advised to
try the bi-chloride of ink treatment
Nashville American.
He has had enough Of ink slung at him
by the American to drown him in a sea
of ink. If he survives the ink treatment
thus administered he needs no bi-chloride.
But oceans of ink and reams of paper
can not blot out the fact that the returns
showed that Evans was elected governor
of Tennessee and that he was cheated
out of it as clearly as Mr.. Tilden was
cheated out of the presidency.

Mr.. Desha Breckenridge, the son of
the redoubtable "Willie," is tearing up
the blue grass. rs d.puty collector of
the Lexington, KY, district he has de-
cided that winnings on horse racing,
roulette and poker must be accounted
for on the income tax, but the losses
according 20 his decision, don't count.
The assistant collector is making heavy
run on his home country. If man
wins 100000 on the races and loses
$150,0O0, he must pay tax on his win
nings besides standing the loss of his
$4,000. That can't be law.

Lent is over, but we cannot observe
any difference in the moral conduct of
the people of this city. We do not know
whether it is because Lent has no effect
upon the morals of our people or whether
they are so moral generally that Lent
makes no difference in their conduct
We are inclined to attribute it to the
latter cause, as the citizens of Austin
are at all times a law-abiding, soberly
conducted people.

will meet at Boston, Mass, on the 2Sth

that messages will be received from

whose souls go marching on with John

The first news we had of the battle at
Palmanto, Cuba, had Moceo captured and
Crombret killed and the rebels dispersed
and being without leaders the royalists
were celebrating the end of the revolu-
ton in Havana. But twenty-four hours
changed the news. MOceo escaped, ac-
cording to Spanish accounts, and 500 more
insurgents were making their way in the
mountains to him. Let us wait to hear
from the other side before we conclude
that the Cuban rebellion is at an end.
Wait until yellow jack enlists under the
banners Of the rebels. The rebels in Cuba
can keep up a gorilla warfare and when
worsted retreat to the mountains until
their ally, the yellow fever, kills every new
recruit from Spain in the royal army.
The fact is the rebellion in Cuba has hard
ly begun yet. The rebels have merely
organized to keep up desultory war until
they receive recruits and arms when they
will move down into the open country
and give battle to the Spaniards. Then
will the main issue come and be decided
one way or another.

1t is rather an extraordinary thing to
find policeman 100 yards from a saloon,
but that is quite natural, the classes upon
whom they are expected to exercise their
authority frequent saloons. Some in
vidious persons might attribute the con-
slant presence of the police near saloons
to some other reason, but we are not in
vidous.

FOREST FIRES ARE RAGING
Great Destruction Being
Caused in Wisconsin
and New Jersey.
Unless Rain Soon Falls Great viii
Be the Devastation of the
Flames.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, WIS, April %
Word was received here that forest fires
are again raging in the vicinity of Phillips.
The woods near Prentice are ablaze, and
the inhabitants are rushing to this city for
safety.
There were several farmhouses burned
yesterday, and there seems no probability
that the fire will abate The woods are
very dry and are fit objects for the fire to
prey upon. Unless rain comes soon the
fires will certainly create wide desolation.
The people of Prentice have made an or
gained effort to keep the flames from en-
tering the city. All the fire appliances
there have been gotten ready for immedi-
ate action, and, warned by the disaster to
Phillips last summer, the most heroic ef-
forts will be made to keep the town from
burning up. The nearest approach of the
fire is to within a mile of the city. If a
wind springs UP the flames may be carried
into the town.
LAKEWOOD, Nj, April 25.-The forest
fire which originated from the burning of
tallow in hotel in the cedars, about mile
from this place. continued to burn fiercely
this afternoon. 1t is estimated that SIX, 900
worth of property has already been de-
stroyed. About 1000 acres of standing tim
Der has been burned over.
VINELAND, N. j., April 25-The forest
fires are getting dangerously close to Vine
land. The heat can be plainly felt here.

Pays His Respects to
Cleveland.
"a Hollow Body Inflated by Rub
bling Against Gold Bond
holders"

TOPEKA. KANs., April 25.-At the open
ing meeting of the Republican State
League to-day Judge Horton, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, made his
first political convention talk in many
years. He said that in few days he
would become a private citizen He
severely scored President Cleveland, whom
he called the financial blight on the
nation. He compared him to the fat
founder OF Florida, which he described as
a worthless fish living in muddy waters
which sometimes rubbed up against some
hard substance and Immediately inflated
itself to large proportions. He was hol-
low body enlarged by contact with gold
bond holders. Judge Horton declared for
the importance of a recognition of silver.
Senator Baker in a lengthy speech op-
posed Cleveland's foreign and domestic
policies.
At the afternoon session Senator Scott
received good majority, and his election
for president was made unanimous.
The committee on resolutions then re-
ported, and their report was adopted,
with but a handful of dissenting votes. On
the financial question it says:
"Such resumption OF Republicans in
power will bring back a monetary policy
and coinage system which will immedi-
ately add to our currency the product of
our American mines and the restoration
of silver to its old place as one of the
money metals, thus placing the finances of
our country upon basis which will bring
confidence and prosperity to all our peo-
Dle."

ALBANY, N. Y, April 25.-Bill Cook,
the famous outlaw, arrived in this city this
afternoon, with twelve other famous con-
victs sent here from the West. The pris-
oners were taken to the penitentiary in
the prison van and one of the old Delavan
House stages. They attracted great deal
of attention as they rode through the
streets to the prison, which is situated in
the extreme western section. They still
wore their wild and woolly Western cos
tunes. The men were chained together
and guarded by armed men.
