oLEvELAND AND CASTLE.

The anti-annexationist who un-
derstands the shades of meaning Of
English words will find satisfaction
in reading over the speeches made
when Mr.. Castle presented his Gre
dentials to President Cleveland, and
the reading between the lines is not
difficult.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-31

The pro-annexationist, from his
point OF view, will notice, as he
reads the speeches, sins of omission
and commission; those Of omission
are committed by Mr.. Castle, the
most glaring being the entire aban-
donment of the aim and end of the
revolution Of January, 1898, i. g., the
annexation of these islands to the
United States.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-31

The reticence of the Advertiser,
the Republics organ, on the sub
stance of the speeches, shows plain
ly that the occupants OF the govern
ment building are chilled to the
marrow by the iciness of President
Cleveland's we'll turned, short and
pithy expressions.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-31

Annexation Of territory was not
the purpose of the oligarchy; but
the term was a good enough one to
rally about the oligarchs the men
who would carry guns. We are re-
minded that when Mr.. ,Thurston
was demonstrated with for using the
annexation cry he honestly said that
without it not a bakers dozen Of
men would sign the roll in w. O..
Smiths Office.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-31

While we frankly admit a measure
Of disappointment at the reception
of Mr.. Castle by President Cleve-
land we must as frankly say that
the satisfaction we find in reading
and re-reading the speeches makes
us debtor to both President Cleve-
land aud Mr., Castle
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-10-31

The sins Of commission, from the
same point Of view, are to be laid at
the door of President Cleveland,
who, by well-selected words. shows
conclusively that he has not aban-
doned the purpose set forth in his
messages to Congress at the time
and after he withdrew the so-called
treaty of annexation.

the late epidemic of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in Opt
nion in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only third Of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in a zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit Of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor.Q The weight affects the
cost of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in d high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of a tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece of work can be turned out
at SO low price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores, or write

Our passport law which enables
creditor to stop the exist of a debtor
from these scenes of bliss in the Para
disc of the Pacific, doesn't seem to
attain it's ends always. A business
man OF the town gives the following
two instances: In the first debtor
was sued by his creditor and judg
ment obtained. His passport was
stopped. He waited month or two
then went to the room of his fellow
lodger door stole his tax re-
ceipt, presented it at the Custom
House, got a passport under the as
sumed name, and promptly skipped
In the second case after the usual
preliminaries, the proposed alb
sconder was caught on shipboard
about to depart, but on exhibiting
to the irate creditor that he had
only $l.50 to land with, if he got
away, and that there, were no further
chances of employment for him here,
the creditor forgaveahi even the
extra expenses, and let him 60. Why
not put an end to the foolishness
and abolish the compulsory pass
port systema People who give credit
then would do SO at their own risk
as business chance, and wouldn't
depend on the uncertain machinery
of our Custom House to collect
their otherwise uncollectable debts.
In the last Legislature under the
monarchy-1892 to January, 1893
an act was passed appointing an
agricultural commission and paid
commissioner. The Provisional
Government promptly filed the ap-
pointments-the latter incumbent
being Jos. Marsden. Bugs and toads
were sent for. Prof Koebele was
engaged at handsome salary-to
travel in search of more. Carl Will
ing was discharged from the govern
ment nursery as gardener. Mr..
Jaeger was removed from his over
sight of the government agricultural
operations, Mr.. Cleghorn from his
oversight OF the public parks, and

we were to have government ex-
perimental station. Everthing was

We haven't heard the last yet of
California wine versus saki. Neither
has the Legislature commission that
subject begun its operations.
Wouldn't it be we'll to dwell less on
Cleveland's official courtesy, and try
TO win over the California opposi-
ton to us2 Or is the influence of
the W. G. T. U. too strong to allow
us officially "to touch, taste or ham
dle," even diplomatically, the deadly
juice of the California grape ques-
tion. Whether we get annexation
or not in the long run to lose the
treaty, now would be to knock the
few remaining fragrants out of the
bottom of our commercial pros
perity.

The Deportation Question


The editor OF the Pacific CONNER.
cial Advertiser in this mornings is
sue has apparently settled to his own
satisfaction, and that of few immi.
grants like himself, the great ques-
ton OF forcible deportation Of po-
l'tical and other offenders from one
country to another.
No doubt learned jurists OF every
nationality will be grateful for the
clear and pungent deliverance Of
this New Daniel core 10 ju L.
ment." 1t is really refreshing in
these unquiet days to have from
such an able authority an opinion
covering so much controverted
ground; ground which has proved
in tho past-over aud over again
highly dangerous both TO "sover-
eigns and statesmen and which
may yet prove very narrowing to
this little San Marine OF the Pacific.
II is pleasing to note the dexterity
with Which Daniel" gets over his
fences. The poor captain OF the S.
S. Warrimoo by biased, infamous,
vulgar British Court, has been put
under bonds (his ship libeled) in the
sum Great ScotD OF one hundred
aud fifty thousand dollars. "Dauiel,"
however, is uudismayed. We ask
the following question: Was the Ha-
waiian Government exercising its
"prerogative rights" in deporting
by compulsion the offenders men-
toned in British royal mail steam
or to a country bearing the ships
flag? II has always been held that
such vessels should not be used for
any purpose but those clearly de-
fined by law; and it is evident: lst,
That the captain had no means at
his disposal to resist the alleged
"prerogative rights" or it is nearly
certain he would have done so; I'd.
1t is also certain that at least two Of
the supposed offenders were unwill-
ing to avail themselves OF the "pre-
rogatives;' paid fare, etc, etc, Of
this paternal government.
Daniel is level when he writes
that the United States, acquiesced
in by England, insists on the right
TO expel criminal or pauper immi-
grants, but then Daniel" ought to
have stated that such persons must
be sent whence they came, aud that
all COMMISSIONER by the will Of
Uncle Sam--are not dumping
grounds for such people.
"Daniel' is apparently mixed aud
ravelled, with regard to rights Of ma
tons, when no holds that IL the cap
tain OF the Warrimoo is liable in an
action brought against him-not in
foreign country, but in his own
for doing in San Marine an act justi-
fed by its laws; when he says that
such a course would be to upset
american and English We prefer
"British"l judicial decisions over a
century back"
We believe, nay know that the
Government OF the country these
forcibly- deported men were sent
to would have been within its un,
doubted rights-knowing the facts
to have declined to allow of theiI
landing, and simply ordered Cap,
tain Bird to return them "to the
place from whence they came"
The Great Australasian Empire
comprising, as it does, at least eight
semi-independent states, can even
take the above stand against its Owl
venerable august mother.
There will likely be other expires
siops Of opinion-both American
and British-and we dare to affirm
that the Advertisers position vii
be found utterly untenable. S.

some bronze living pictures with which
a thestrical manager intends to bait the
novelty-appetited public. Male figures
were used. and the bronze effect was
achieved by rubbing some brassy COM

We wonder that 1t never occurred to
this enterprising manager to secure
men with ready made brass exteriors
for his living pictures. We have several
of them here in New York with aerugin-
Gus fronts, who would not need any
artificial brassing on their hides.
