CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Waimanalo Mail Carrier Arrested
for IDjuring an Animal.

The mail carrier to Waimanalo
was brought to the police station
early Saturday evening by an
officer.
Following the pair was a horse
with two large boxes strapped on
its back. These, the man ex-
planned, were for ice. The animals
sides were frightfully skinned, the
flesh showing in large red patches.
At the police station the boxes
were removed and the horse made
comfortable by the application of
medicine. The owner seemed to
take things coolly, and did not
worry in the least as to the welfare
of his horse. He was given his
liberty by the officer on duty.

IS LATEST AMERICAN TRAITOR,
Rev. Morgan DenOunees the Presi-
dent of the United States.
the Country to England, Spain
and the Shylocks.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Fla, July s.
With the stars and stripes held
above him the Rev. w. J. Morgan
on Saturday last denounced the
President of the United States as
traitor. It was at a celebration in
honor Of the Fourth of July, which
had been postponed from Thurs
day, owing to rain.
The Rev. w. J. Morgan, the ora
tor, is one of the ablest ministers
in Florida. He is an ex-Confeder-
ate and is said to be a relative of
United States Senator Morgan Of
Alabama. There were about 1000
persons present.
Morgan began his address sensa-
tionally. Unfolding a United
States flag and pointing to the
stars and stripes he said:
Those colors are the emblems of lib
erty, but Grover Cleveland is bent on
effacing them and allowing Great
Britain, Spain and the ShyIocks to
plant their cOlOrs in place of the red,
white and blue When Grover Cleve-
land had the stars and stripes lowered
at Honolulu by his creature, Blount, he
committed an act as Infamous as that
which made the name of Benedict
Arnold a stencil in the nOstrils of pat
riots. Benedict Arnold was the first
American traitor and Grover Cleve-
land is the latest. Hereafter the
.0f A nd 10 nd CI
be coupled.
The president seems to be craZed
with desire to humiliate the Ameri-
can people and cater to the wishes of
foreign nations. No American can
think of how Great Britain bullied
Nicaragua, without shame. The
American people demanded the in
forcement of the Monroe doctrine, but
Grover Cleveland sat like a log and
allowed the worlds greatest bully to
humiliate the Nicaraguans. Great
Britain invaded American soil at Co.
rinto, and its action should have been
been resented just as il it had been
New York instead of CorintO.
The people of Cuba are fighting for
freedom just as our forefathers fought
their British oppressOrs, but the world
is treated to the spectacle of Grover
Cleveland issuing proclamations and
using American warships to keep the |
Spanish yoke upon the neck of the |
island patriots. He keeps United |
States cruisers on the Florida coast to !
prevent aid being furnished the pa |
triots, but he had no warships to spare |
when a Spanish gunboat fired upon |
and chased the Alliance, which flew !
the stars and stripes; and he even re-
buked Gresham for demanding that |
Spain should apologize for the insult. |
The Rev. Mr.. Morgan said Cleve-
land was in league with the shy
locks. Il believe" said the speak
er, ''if the true inwardDess of the |
bond deal were known that Cleve- /
land would be iLnpeached as soon /
as Congress meets. Carlisle is
a tool in the fat one's' |
hands"
Thank God" concluded the .
orator, there are only few more /
months of power left 10 Cleveland, /
but unless he is watched he will |
deed away the United States to !
Great Britain, Spain and he shy
locks"
