ACCUSED OF TREASON.
TRIAL OF QUEEN LILIU OKALANI
Leaders of the Recent InsurrectlOn In
Hawaii Sentenced to Be Hanged
Three Alleged Conspirators
Banished to the States.

HONOLULU, Feb. 2 via Steamer
Warrimo, Victoria, b. c., Feb. TO-
There is a lull in affairs here and quiet
will probably reign until the military
court now sitting finishes its work.
There are {. large number of conspiracy
cases vet to be tried and the prObablll-
ties are that the court will sit for two
or three weeks at least. Great interest
is attached to the forthcoming trial Of
the ex-uueen. The government claims
to have more than sufficient evidence
to convict her. What her punishment
will be in case of conviction is hard to
conjecture. Her case will probably
come up next Monday. She is charged
with treason. The charge reads:
81. Treason, by engaging in open re-
beIlion against the republic of Hawaii T.;
bv attempting by force Of arms to over
throw and destroy the same and by
levying war against the same, and by
adhering to the enemies of the republic
of Hawaii, giving them aid and com
fort within the Hawaiian island and
elsewhere.
"2. Treason, by aiding, abetting, pro

"Men are not wise enough, nor gen
erous enough, nor pure enough to legls-
late fairly for women. The laws OF the
most civilized nation depress and de-
grade women"
In the heat of the debate on the
subject of woman suffrage, these words
of George William Curtis were flung
broadcast in the campaign documents.
Alas. that women do not realize that
by this arraignment of men they con
denim themselves. Every man who
legislates has been conceived of woman,
has been influenced by her life. her
thoughts, her spirit, during his prenatal
existence: has had her impress on his
dawning soul; has been led and guided
through the first unfolding of his life
by her hand; has had his susceptible
young heart first in her keeping, his
awakening thought first beneath her
sway. And if at last, he grows up to
make laws which depress and degrade
! her, there must be some lack OF grace
or wisdom. some error of nature or OF
! life in woman, which had better be met
and overcome as the first step toward
her emancipation; that when it comes
it may stand upon firm foundation
upon the impregnable rock of her OWL
fitness and character. Warfare anC

by them women sacrifice much they
can ill afford to lose; whereas, if they
are wise, they will wait the opening Of

Literary Notes

ALMOST every prominent question
of current public interest is treated by
able writer's in the February number
of Donahoes Nuyozine. The leading
article is furnished by Hon. Chas. )
Hamlin, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury who writes upon "The Pros
poets of the Democratic Party giving
as the basis of his hope OF the partyS,
return to full power in the next presi-
Dental election, the redemption OF the
pledges made to the people III the
national platform. Three OF these
pledges, Mr.. Hamlin contends, have
been already fulfilled to the satisfaction
of the country, and the remaining one
the regulation of the currency, he claims
to be on a fair road to achievement.
The positions Mr.. Hamlin takes will,
arouse considerable discussion in the
Republican press. The industrial prob
lem is touched upon by Miss Mary b.
O'Sullivan in very strong article on
life in factory town, in which many
good words are saidfor the operatives
and practical suggestions made for the
alienation of the ills now beSettlng
them. Hon. Chas. J. Bonaparte contrib
utes "ReligiOn the Safeguard of Amerl-
can Liberty" which contains some OF
the best thoughts and most pertinent
statements made on this subject for
! long time. The charities of great
city are set forth in an eloquent and
forcible manner by Rev. VIM. H. O'Con--
nell. in an article entitled eff BendaOeed
Returns The paper is written IN de
precatiOn of the peSsimlStlc sentiment
which holds that the distress of the
poor receives no helping hand from the
Well-to-do classes. The money question
is set forth by Michael Corcoran, OF
Chicago, the well known writer on
economic subjects, who advances many
important points for careful consldera-
ton. G.. E. Franklin contributes an IN
teresting article on 'The Irish Race in
American Politics. in which several
erroneous impressions are ably com
bated. There is an abundance of excel
lent lighter reading and fiction to vary
the weightier articles, and number OF
original poems. The several depart
ments have many bright, practical
things, and the editorials are able pres
entatiOns in brief of the leading topics
of the time. This Magazine has
mapped out for itself broad and Wig
orous policy, and each succeeding issue
places it nearer its goal higher among
the great magazines Of the day. The
illustrations of the current number are
, varied and beautiful.

4 PETITION has been presented to
the senate praying that bill be passed
providing that the Declaration of In
dependence. the Constitution Of the
United States and WashingtOn's fare
we'll address be Incorporated into the
school readers of this state, with mar
ginal notes. That such bill should
meet with the approval OF every sena-
tor, there can be no question 1t is
noteworthy fact that large percentage
of young Americans have neverread the
constitution of the United States, and
the reasons are obvious. The majority
of boys are forced to leave school before
they have reached the study of history.
They have learned how to read and
write. and have possibly gone as far as
the rule of three in arithmetic, when
they are forced to enter the struggle
for their daily bread, and assist, per
haps, in the support of many that are
younger, that they may also attend
school few months or years and gain
all the knowledge they think sufficient
to carry them on in the world. History,
| the only book at the present in our
schools, that contains the constitution
of the United States, is considered an
unnecessary study; it is time wasted,
and useless acquisition to them in the
paths of life they have marked out;
and while in great measure this is
true. yet every boy and girl to become
good citizens of this country, should
know something of its history: should
be versed in the fundamental principles
of the government under which they
claim birthright; the struggles of the
giant intellects that conceived anC

to disseminate pathological information and to aid
in dispelling that prejudice which has ever been
