Annexation.

AS a specimen of undiluted
twaddle give the prize to the
editorial remarks in yesterdays
Advertiser, in which the official
organ appears as the apologist
Of the Cabinet and gives as
surances of good faith to the
annexationists in behalf of Dole
& Company. Nobody ever
demanded that the President
or his Ministers should stand
around the street corners and
"talk" annexation, or appear
with Sequah in a golden chariot
with a brass band and talk
spread-eagleism and jingoism.
The only thing that the people
who favor annexation desire to
be convinced Of is that the
government is sincere in its
efforts and that no stone is
being left unturned In it's at
tempt to obtain annexation,
and that is where the doubt
comes in. The honest and up
right annexationists are getting
sceptical and who can blame
them? The Star cries, "Where
is the Hawaiian Annexation
Club?" The Bulletin bowls,
"Where are the Hawaiian
annexationists :" The solemn
chorus of town and country
sings, "Where is the Govern.
ment?"
And then comes, the oflicia

nursey Thurston. When th'
right moment arrives, you shal
have the moon and all the
pills you want, but let youl
dear old nprseys run the she
bang in the meantime and be
satisfied until then with being
suckers"
OF course that sounds very
fine and everybody accepts the
oracular words of the Adver-
tiser, but still the ''babies" arc
inclined to ask: "Why shall
we wait? Why is it necessary
to educate us before steps car
be taken to secure the union

Observations.

IT. took Student" seventeen
columns to express his views
In the INDEPENDENT on Pearl
Harbor. The Star man uses
twelve lines to refute Students
arguments and he gets a CORES
pondent to make o few insigni-
ficant postulations in another
column. And based on the
remarks Of Manana, who, by
the way, shows the earmarks
of a certain Pearl City pro
moter, the supreme evening
paper says, "These facts are
known to and have been ac-
cepted by all men capable Of
Judging in the premises" II
that is so, brother Star, you
have evidently not "known OF
accepted" the fact.

Finances.

the treasury, which is publish
ed weekly in the Star, does
not show. such a glorious con-
dition of the government finan-
ces, as the public has been
led to believe exists. We are
told that one, of the reasons for
the calling of the special legis-
lative session is to secure ap-
preparations to carry out public
works. That sounds very well,
and we have no doubt that the
appropriations will look per-
fectly beautiful and imposing
on paper. But where is the
money to come from ?
The available cash is about
$145,oo0. The taxes are all
collected and the only sure"
thing that the government has
is the demand for money to
pay salaries and wages. Dur
ing the last week the revenues
only footed up about .$21, 900.
More than one half of that
sum was derived from the
Custom House, and the other
half from miscellaneous sources.
Apparently no taxes were col
lected, though all the news
papers have stated that lots of
people were arrested last week
and forced to pay taxes. No
government bonds were sold
during the week, but the bond
ed debt amounts to nearly
$3,000,O0O. About another
million is due to the Postal
Savings Bank and it's note
holders, which shows that IIa-
waits debt to-day is very near
$4,000,000. Under the pre-.
sent circumstances the govern.
ment will find it pretty hard tc
borrow any more money, and
to depend on the regular trea.
sury balance for the carrying
out Of public works would be
an absurdity of which the
Cabinet never will be fount
! guilty.
1t is absolutely necessary
that the coming Legislature
shall investigate the financia
status of the country. 1t j
no use to keep on travelling il
the dark. Let us know the
truth and face the issue like

DR.. Emerson thought il a man
needed opium to preserve his
health or life he should be per-
mitted to smoke it if smoking was
his habit. 1t would be hard to
require such a subject to pay for
a doctors prescription every day.
DR.. Wood said then the law
would have to be changed.
Mr.. Lansing concurred with
DIR. Wood and the president that
it would not. do to give open per-
mits.
DR.. Emerson said the best way
for this Chinaman was to 90 to
DIR. Howard at the Government
dispensary every day and get the
required dose. He added that
there were numbers of opium
users in prison for possession of
opium, but he did not give them
opium once in o hundred cases.
They were givens other medicine
to tone them mp.
The president d smissed the
applicant with instructions to go
to the dispensary for his opium.

Der of the cases were from Maui

A letter was read from Deputy

A certain citizen in IA store
uptown yesterday said that the
"reminiscences of Oahu Prison
published in the INDEPENDENT
are all false and lies. This is
q good specimen of the average

critic admitted that he hadn't
been in the prison and also
admitted that the writer in

had been there. And conse-
quently the critic was the best

THE WRONG MEN.

 They were not liz Eeeroe who commit ted the crime at East Lake last Saturday which came So near costing MT. Ed Y. Daniel bis life, and one of them has been released.

 Another negro was arrested, but was leased by request of the officers who made the arrest.
 Mir. Daniel was resting quietly late last evening, aud said he was suffering but little pain. It is the opinion of some that he will recover, but the doctors who are attending him express but little hope, though they say ne might possibly pull through, but chances are very much against him.
 His son is expected hourly from Florida, as be lelegra phed he would come immedi- ately, and will probably be hero today.

STARTLING REPORTS. t
 What the Figures of the Board of
 Health Reveal REGARDING MEN AND WOMEN Attempts to Account for the Alarming Increase of Ger tain Troubles Through
 out America.

The New York board of health reports show large increase in ihe nnmb-r of deaths from kiiney, liver and urinary dis eases last week, as we'll as from the various troubles which fIlict women. It is possi- ble that he weather has much to do with this, but there is no denying the fact that these lrou oles are very prevalent and re- qure prompt care and atteation.
 What there is in the atm sphere, the water or the mode of living that tends to weaken the kidneys and urinary organs of Americans can only be conjecturei, bus the sad fact remains h,t, as n people, we are very weak in these respects. What man does not feel unstrung, lacking in courage, apprehensive and unable to cope with the duties of life at times? Where is the woman who does not have pains in the back, bearing down feelings, deT ressio ns and the thousand and one symptoms that indicate disordered organ:? All these things gre nature's warnings. She tells you in the plainest language that she needs help and that you must ald her or euffer the consequences.
 Any one who has read and thought knows that there has never been hut one discovery that will invariably control these troubles and place perfect health in their stead. Doctors and the best ihinkers all know this and agree that for every form oi kidney, liver, bladder and urinary df- fculty or female ailments, Warner's safe Cure stands alone. It is king. TLere are several hundred thousand men and women in America alone, irrespective of the vast army abroad, who are kept in perfect health and strength wholly by it's use. There are thousands of others who need it's pure and powerful tiaence just badly.
 Will you, reader be warned by the sta tistics W hicn are shown in the health re- ports every week, ex mine yourself care the approach of these serious trouble,, act in time. Bear in mind that prompt action is certain 10 result in restored health and happiness, while delay may mean misery all the rest of your shortened life.
