The Columbia States Leap.

The Columbia State has for some
time been keeping itself in position
to be ready to jump into the hepuo-
lican camp whenever the opportun-
ity came. and now it seems that
Judge Goff in his recent decision on
the REGISTRATION laws has opened the
wav for the State. In a long-wlnded
editorial the State ''rejoices" at what
it terms the "downfall'' of our regis
tration laws, and in an editorial par
agraph it advocates giving the negro
minority representation. The State
has a right to advocate anything 1t
chooses. and the white men OF tnls
State have sense enough not to be
eulled into the teachings of news
paper advocating the driving OF an
entering wedge into the trunk OF our
political tree, that has borne frult
upon which the supremacy OF the
white man has subsisted and was
sustained ever since Wade Hampton
made his grand march from One
mountains to the sea.
Is it not pity that at this time,
when the white men are endeavorlng
tc settle their differences amlcabiy,
that there should arise from our own
ranks men who, to satisfy their selfish
ends, would sink the State in ruin
men who, for temporary gain, are
willing to place upon our necks the
yoke so recently cast off? We say ills
temporary gain, because we know
that the negroes for whom these white
men are now battling only want one e
foot on the political ladder until
the opportunity comes to place both
feet upon it, and when that time does
come, away will go the men whom
they purchased to get this advan-
tage. The negro at this stage OF the
proceedings says he only wants a
minority representation. Why is this
when he is in the majority? Perhaps
he couldn't get the support of the
Columbia State if he asserted his
rights and demanded all that a ma
iority could get. The Colored Minis
terial Union says it will be satisfied
with minority representation. Just
how long they will be thus contented
does not appear in their utterances,
and if it did, we hardly think that
any number of white men could be
induced to have much confidence in
anything they might say under the
present conditions.

MORE TROUBLE IN HAWAII.
Che Japanese Contingent Plotting Raid
on the Government.


SAN FRANCISCO. May lit is proba-
BILE that the next sixty days will de-
velop some very exciting scenes in Ha-
waii. Private information recently re-
ceived by c. w. Ashford, in this city.
indicates that trouble is gathering
around the government OF President
Dole and his colleagues. The Japa-
nese. who are numerous on the island
and who at present are feverish and
elated over the victory of the mother
country in the war with China, threaten
to come forward and become serious
factors In the government of Hawaii
and the adjustment Of its affairs 1t is
known that among the japanese on the
islands are several hundred trained SOL
diers In fact, there are enough to
seize and control the government at
any time, should they so choose. The
natives are restless and dissatisfied and
only wait an opportunity to fly into the
thick of another insurrection.

now a certainty. The seventy-fve
days limit expires tomorrow. The
senate Saturday adopted resolution
to take recess until today and save

A SCARE INCIDENT.
Shots Out on King Street Caused
Some Excitement.

Last night about o'clock shots
were heard out Leleo way. This
caused widespread excitement. Word
reached police headquarters that an
armed force of the enemy was enter
ing the city by King street bridge. AS
soon as this was received preparations
were commenced to protect the police
station and give the rebel invaders a
warm reception. There was a large
force at police headquarters and these
acted quickly. The windows OF the
Marshal's office on the Waikiki side
were closed and barricaded. Those on
the Eva side were thrown open and
four men armed with rifles, stationed
in each. The main entrance was
filed with men and an additional
number of rifles placed within reach.
The same preparations were made at
the door Of the receiving Office, and q
SQUAD of police was drawn up in front
of the station. 1t took but few
minutes to accomplish the work.
Couriers were despatched to the local.

had attempted to cross Smiths bridge
after being ordered to stop, and shot
was fired upwards to bring him to
halt, by one of the guards stationed
at that point.
The report of the shot and news OF
the invading party caused the widest
sort of excitement along lower King
street and up Nuuanu as far as Hotel.
The Chinese stores and restaurants
hurriedly closed their doors, and for q
few moments a panic was threatened
Along Hotel street up to Fort there
was a general stampede of excited in
dividuals, few if any of them being
armed. A number of ladies who hap
pened to be in that portion of the city
at the time rushed frantically toward
No. engine house. The true cause
of the trouble quickly spread, and IL
a short time quiet was restored.
