Shortly after Major Garrido's volun-

another detachment OF Spanish troops

DOLE IN A VERY BAD HOLE
This Time Lorren A. Thurston IL
at the Bottom OF the Mis-
chief and He Means
Business.

San Francisco. May 1s.-An evening
paper prints the following: Private
letters received from Honolulu by the
steamer Australia declare that a change
OF administration will soon occur there.
and that the change is advocated by no
less an important parsonage than ex-
Minister Thurston. The information
comes from a most reliable source and
cannot be questioned. According to the
letters received here. all that Is pre-
serving the present government Is the
fact that IL possesses the arms neces-
sary to quell another outbreak. and is
exerting itself In its efforts to prevent
the landing of contraband arms.
1t In well known that the government
forces numerically are greatly in the
minority. and no one has been made
TO realize this fact more than Minister
Thurston. At a recent conference be-
tween Mr.. Thurston and President
Dole and the members OF the cabinet,
the former declared that the only hope
OF permanent peace on the islands will
be realized In placing Princess Kaiu-
lani in the position which the former
monarchy proposed that she should
some day have.
Mr.. Thurston is reported to have ad-
vocated this step so strongly that
President Dole and his cabinet became
alarmed and have since given the mat
ter many hours consideration. Pas
sengers on the Australia have con-
fided that the republic is on its last
legs.
An alarm is apt to be sounded any
night" remarked one passenger. "and
IL II Is you can expect to hear OF the
downfall OF the republic"

THE RIGHT KIND OF JUDGE.
He Speaks with No Uncertain sound
About silver

| About Silver.
Denver, Col. May 1c.--Hon. Henry
Caldwell. Junior United States circuit
judge Of the Eighth judicial district.
first made district judge by President
Grant. and promoted TO the circuit
judgeship by President Harrison. wrote
letter under date OF st. Louis. April
30, to an old friend now in Denver. in
which. among other subjects, he speaks
freely and frankly upon the silver
question. The letter was written with
out any supposition that any part Of It
would be given TO the public, but the
friend to whom IL was written, who Is
an ardent silver man, assumes the
privilege. for the sake of the good
cause. to make public a part OF what
the Judge writes about silver.
Judge Caldwell's utterances are bold.
clear and unequivocal The following
is from the letter:
Is-tThe country is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection Of
the rights and the promotion of the in
terests of the laborer and producer,
which. in my judgment. are OF even
more moment than the first / have
been surprised that the issue has been
so long delayed. The tight ought to
have been forced years ago on the line
OF absolute unqualified coinage OF gold
and silver at the ratio OF 16 to /, with
out regard TO the action OF England or
any other foreign power. II we are to
be subservient to England in our finan-
cial policy. why not in other mat
ters?
THE financial policy OF a nation de-
termines its strength and prosperity,
and the nation which consents that
another and competing nation may
regulate it's financial policy will find its
producers impoverished and it's indus
tries destroyed. and the nation itself
will soon be little more than a mere
dependency of the power to which Il
surrendered, the most vital function of
government. IL we are not capable
and able to maintain our own finan-
cial policy we ought to haul down old
Glory which you fought so gallantry
to uphold. and turn the government
over TO Queen Vic. or ask Canada to
annex US.
The president has thrown the gauge
of battle down. l trust the silver men
II up. 1 am happy in the belief that
the platforms that mean anything or
nothing on the silver question will, in
future, go for nothing with the men,
bers of all parties. The people have
been deluded and deceived until their
eyes are open. There has sprung up
among them that hostility to such
platforms which the empty and per-
fidious hypocrisy OF set phrases never
fails in the end TO inspire"
