According to much published
announcements there was an open
meeting Of the American League
last night for the purpose of hear
ing Lorrin A. Thurston, ex-Min-
istea of Hawaii at Washington,
speak on annexation.
d. 81 Smith of the Advisory
Council, was in the chair, sup
ported by Il. B. Murray, presid-
ent of the League. When Mr.,
Thurston began his speech, there
were seventy people in the hall,
and the number swslled to one
hundred and twenty before he
had proceeded far with his speech
Mr.. Thurston opened with q

Our Graves.

To day is the Memorial Day,
on which, according to custom,
we decorate the graves of the
friends who departed ahead of
us and who now have solved
the great mystery. Many have
left US during the past year.
Many will follow during. the
next. But let all the kamaai-
mas give one thought, one
flower and, ape, even one tear
to the two graves which cover
the earthly remains of the two
men murdered, we use the
word advisedly, during the late
alleged revolution.
Charles Lunt Carter is dead.
Arthur P. Peterson lies in the
same soil. Both were men
entitled to the friendship and
the respect of their follow
citizens. One died in his mis-
guided but well-meant attempt
at serving his government.
Charles Carter was killed
when he thought that he was
doing his duty in helping the
Republic of Hawaii.
Arthur Peterson was killed
by the men who through perse-
cution and ILL ll-treatment thought
their political enemies would be
finally intimidated and utterly
suppressed. Both are entitled
to the memorial sympathy OF
the people. Both graves will
be covered with flowers today,
We will say no more on this
sacred day. We will simply ask
our readers to join us in giving
one thought to the sacrifice Of
the lives of these two brilliant
lights of Hawaii's present
generation. PaS Vobascatm.

Economy is the watch
word. Government and pri- |
vate concerns alike are inter
ested in solving financial ques-
tions. The killing of the In
come Tax in the United States
has been a surprise party to
many people, but at the same
time it has not been ain un- |
pleasant surprise to the majori- |
ty. We realize of course that
the Cleveland administration
will now have its hands full
and we equally are aware of
the difficulties of the republic
of Hawaii. If the INDEPENDENT
can be believed the government
is running behind every day.
No government can afford to
do without the Taxpayers be-
ing ready and willing to back
it up and on the alert to dig
up the necessary wherewithS
and wherefors. To meet the
times we have exerted our
selves and we have found a
"baby" that will beat anything
in its line. This "baby' is a
sewing machine and it ranks
with the SmarteSt "babies" in
the world. You can sew any
thing on it and do it just as
well as on a patent-Steam-
ot--tramping machine. The
Baby goes by hand. and it
fills the ticket every time. To
meet the hard times we have
reduced the price Of this infant

every day and hardly a govern
ment bond, but our sewing
machine is there for that small
amount.
We can also recommend a
whistle to you. 1t is called
the Develine Whistle and a
devil of a whistle it is. II
sounds like a syren and it
makes noise enough to scare
away Thomas Square hoodlums
or even mounted police horses.

household. They are sharp,
cutting and irresistible. Once

ly if used for scalping purposes
