COLUMBUS, Kan, Aug. 15.-J. II. Cook,
living about miles northwest of here,
talked freely with his wife yesterday,
telling her how he wanted to be dis
posed of when he should die, but did
not hint that he had any expectation
of taking mis- own life. When his wife
went to call him to his breakfast this
morning he was not to be found. A
note was found on a table bearing these
words; Look in the water hole" Mrs.
Cook then went to the place and found
him lying with his head under the
water with a rope tied around the
neck and stone fastened to the other
end.
The deceased was in early life a
Methodist minister, but in recent years
denounced the faith and became a Uni
versalist. He was 76 years old.

CONNECTICUT is trying a new thing
in the way of legislation against the
sale of liquor on Sunday. Hitherto
the penalties have always been in

Of August subjects the buyer also to
punishment The result is that, when
the police make a raid upon a saloon
that is breaking the Sunday law, they
take into custody not only the bar
keeper, but also the patrons whom he
is serving. This is novel experiment,
and its workings will be watched with
interest.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
The recent victories of the insurgents
give the Cuban situation a new inter-
est to the people of the United States.
There is no longer any doubt that the
insurgent cause is steadily growing
stronger. 1t is easy to discern that the
Spaniards are losing ground and losing
heart. If Cuba is to cut loose from
Spain it must be annexed to the United
States. That is the feeling of this
country. A few more successes by the
insurgents will make Cuban recogni-

tingent will carry the work on to
the present fence at Kukuihaele and
then again from Honokaa to Lau-
pahoehOe; the total length OF this
portion would be over thirty miles.
Thus protected, the forests would
rapidly increase and the water sup
ply would also increase. This Is
only bare outline Of the scheme.
We trust it may come to fruition.
The small landholders are as much
interested in the preservation OF the
forests as the large ones. Not only
do they need the increased water
supply, but they need the actual
protection OF the forest as a wind
screen to protect their crops and
small plantations OF coffee.
Forest protection will undoubt-
eddy receive the attention of the
Legislature, but those interested in
Kohala and Hamakua are well adj
yised when they remember the
motto: " If you want a thing done,
and well done. do it yourself"

A GERMAN paper, the franklin
ter Zeitung, has been giving forth a
startling piece of information rela-
tive to the succession to the Eng
lish throne. 1t is generally thought
that sons have precedence OF
daughters in the heirship to the
throne. But it is said that the late
historian Froude discovered that
the laws make no difference be-
tween sons and daughters, but con-
fine themselves to the expression
children" If this is really the
case the German Emperor might
make a claim through his mother.
She was born in 1910, the Prince of
Wales in 1871. The paper goes on
to say that the Emperor is "con-
WINGED that a union of the two
empires would be OF advantage not
only to Great Britain and Ger
many, but to the whole world"
Upon this theory the Frankfurter
Zeitung furnishes a key to a re-
mark which the Emperor made
some while ago, when he said:
" The German army and the Ger
man navy will one day cross the
ocean" The paper further adds
that when Queen Victoria dies, |
England may experience some |
startling surprises. A war of sue
cession is not likely to occur at |
this end of the worlds history.
People are far too republican at |
heart to throw away money and
lives for the sake of seating a COR
geous puppet on a throne. The
days OF Kings and Queens are
drawing to a close, and the change
will come by uniting nations into
federations, not by putting forward
the claims of one hereditary ruler
before the claims of another. The
bit of information is interesting,
however, because it shows the YER
;atile Emperor in yet another
light, that of a probable " claim
ant" He certainly aspires to play
many parts.

THE FORESTS OF HAWAII.

The visit OF the Commissioner OF
Agriculture to the northeastern
coast of Hawaii will undoubtedly
prove of great benefit to that part
of the island. Mr.. Marsden is en-
thusiastic in putting forward his
cause. He pleads his case so elo-
quently, a d is himself so thor
oughly convinced that he is right,
that he ends by convincing his OPP
ponents. The almost certain des-
truction of the forests is, indeed, a
calamity which calls for strong
efforts on the part of all interested
to do their utmost to stay. To
anyone, well acquainted with the
South Kohala and Hamakua dis
tricts, there is no need of argument
to show how the forests have dis
appeared. When Mr.. Frank Spen-
Ger first built his house at Waimea
the forest was at his very doors.
Now the bare plains stretch for
miles in all directions here and
there a solitary tree trunk with
decaying branches marks where
some gaunt sentinel of the tree host
still keeps a watch over the rotting
logs OF what were once his leafy
companions. On the slopes about
Kahua thirty years ago there was
abundance of timber, now it has
all gone, and the knobs, wind
swept as they are, have become
even barred of grass.
= To replant these lands is impos-
sible, but to save the forests that
still roll up to the crests of the Ko-
hala mountains and skirt the slopes
of Mauna Kea in Hamakua is pos
sible. The forest belt is year by
year becoming narrower, the cattle
make further and further invasions
into it, and the time will come
when it will have gone, unless
something IS done to help it.
The proposal, at this time, is to
build line of fence from Kohala
to Waimea. The Kohala graziers
and planters seem to be in accord
upon the scheme. The line of
fence will be thirty miles in length.
From Waimea the Hamakua con-

That there will be war over tn,
Venezuelan question no one whC
knows the interests OF the United
States and Great Britain will sup
pose. Nevertheless it is unfor-
tunate that it should cause friction
which may yet be intensified. The
San Francisco Argonaut has very
temperate and sensible article up
on the situation, and certainly
the Argonaut can not be classed
among the Anglophiles. 1t points
out first that the Monroe doctrine
has not been infringed, backing up
it's arguments by quotations from
President Monroe's famous mes
sage, from John Quincy Adams
Interpretation of it and from
speeches by Henry Clay, Senator
Cass, John G.. Calhoun and the
writings of President Woolsey on
international law. Senator Cass
in speech delivered in 1856 said:
To suppose that the Monroe declara-
ton was intended as a promise,
pledge, or engagement that the Unit
ed States would guard from Euro
pean encrOachment the territory of
the whole boundless continent, is
greatly to miscOnceive the purpose of
it's promulgator, and to misconstrue
the explicit Interpretation published
TO the world by its author, Mr..
Adams.
In the second part of its argu-
ment the Argonaut shows that
Venezuela is not worth fighting
for. If war is wanted it should be
for the United States themselves
and there are ample causes of quar-
rel-and not for a country Gin
habited principally by greasers,
negroes, Indians and monkeys"
