Not the Miners Paradise That
1t Has Been Pictured.
IRONWOOD, Mich. Dec. 6.-Letters
just received from Captain M. A.
knight, who left here last September
with a party of miners for the gold
fields in South Africa, indicate that the
Dark Continent is not the miners
paradise it has been painted. The
Ironwood men were promised desir-
able positions at salaries ranging from
S. per day to $4,000 per year. Many of
them have been unable to secure any
employment and are in Johannesburg,
which they describe as "a human bee
hive, composed principally of sharpers
of both sexes and dust" The mines
are manned principally by native
kaff1rs, who work for about 30 cents a
day, and it is difficult for white man
to secure employment at living wages.
They will return to Michigan as soon
as they can get money to pay their
passage.

A SUNDAY EVENING IN PAT
CHOGUE.

A so-called evangelist" named Nick
erson has been conducting what he de-
scribes as a ''reyiyal" in Patchogue,
Long Island. His admirers have nick
named him 1.-THE Cyclone" He
breaches in the Baptist meeting house
OF the village. One OF his doctrines Is
that the use of tobacco is Incompatible
with true experimental religion.
"Chr1st does not recognizes smoking
Christians" he says. The ex-pastor OF
the Patchogue Baptist society, the Rev.
Samuel Evans. is fond of his pipe, and
not at all fond of Nickerson. Sunday
evening the evangelist spiced his dis
course with some sarcastic remarks
about the ex-pastor and his neigh bor-
hood prayer meetings. Mrs. Evans
told him he was speaking untruths,
and Sister Stages told him he didn't
know what he was talking about.
These Interruptions over, Nickerson
went on to lash some deacon unnamed
for drinking too much whisky at Christ
mas. Deacon Clinton Half rose mp in
the congregation and talked back sar-
castically. "If you have come here for
a fight" shouted Nickerson, eve can
accommodate you" Immediately the
meeting was in an uproar. Nickerson
picked up his banjo and began singing
an alleged hymn of his own composing
to the tune of "Sweet Marie" Then
somebody yelled Fire" On investi-
cation it was discovered that the con-
fagration was raging in the janitor's
coat; he had slipped his pipe into his
pocket just before meeting. Nickerson
resumed and concluded his homily
against tobacco.
Probably the good people who at
tended this REVIVAL" last Sunday
evening consider theater-golng sinful.

ELECTION CRIMES.

Mr.. Wildman introduced in the as
sembly yesterday bill intended to
purify elections in Arizona. Two other
bills to the same end were simulta-
neously introduced, one in the assembly
and the other in council. The only
wonder is that each OF the thirty-six
members OF the legislature, actuated by
his own experience as candidate, did
not introduce a similar measure. So,
too, think the other thirty-six gentle.
men who were unsuccessful, and SO,
too, perhaps, think all the other candi
dates in Arizona, successful and unsuc-
cessful.
The object of Mr.. Wildman's bill is to
prevent that most disgraceful form of
political corruption. bribery direct or
Indirect. There can certainly be no
objection to such measure. Its most
earnest advocates will be, or ought to
be, the members of the legislature with
out division for practical reasons.
Every good citizen will favor it for
abstract reasons. The only person who
will not wish it we'll is the corruptible
voter.
The bill aims at many disreputable
campaign practices, but it particularly
aims at the custom of treating voters.
The Australian system of ballot in a
great measure prevents bribery. The
dishonest candidate cannot know that
the dishonest freeman is going to vote
for him, and hence naturally declines
to invest his money in uncertainty.
There is one thing he can do, and that
is in the course of long campaign he
can cultivate the political affections OF
the thirsty and INSCRIPTIONS voter.
The voter may be even too unscrupu.
lous to feel himself bound by drinks and
cigars and after all will vote independ-
emily, but the chances are, that he will
not.
In most states where the Australian
system is employed candidates are for
hidden to practice this method OF cleo.
pioneering and at the close of the cam

THE MILITIA.

An exchange in state whose legis-
lature is in session and presumably
considering means for the upbuilding
of the commonwealth, thus closes an
article on the subject of Legislative
economy:
We doubt if it is true economy to re-
trench on the militia any more than on
our regular army. A country without
men of arms is mere SQUAD among
nations. The militia is as much of
school as the state university, and
oftentimes more useful. There are
gu institutes for university,3 but there
are no substitutes for body of drilled
and armed men when they are needed.
The editors can hurl their manuscripts
at the feet of party of rioters or in
vaders, the professors can advance and
talk to them in Latin or Greek, the
lawyers can seek retainers for an arbi-
tration, but there is nothing like men
with guns with the necessity drilled
into them of using them to persuade
people to keep the peace.
In case of a war of any kind the
militia would be the nucleus of our
armies, and the humble members the
drill-masters of the nation. But it is
urged we are not going to have any
war. Then we will have to pay or
apologize. War is averted not by tears
and smiles, but by the ability to fight.
As long as we wish to sneak through
the world like China. with an apology
in one hand and a sack in the other, we
can get along without militia, but
unity that time arrives the militia
should be fostered like an agricultural
college or state university.

WHERE ARE WE DRIFTINap P

The latest attitude of Senator
Brown on the Gable question was q
surprise to q good many people who
had watched him when Mr.. Spald-
ing's little scheme was proposed.
Why the senator had encountered a
change of sentiment was puzzle to
the average citizen. AS usually
there is an Ethiopian in the wood
pile and the his features have an ab-
solutely paralyzing effect on every
body. We will endeavor to bring
him out OF the pile and exhibit him
to the dear missionary supporters OF
the "best government" which took
the place of the rotten" "opium
and lottery" monarchy.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-08-13

Senator Brown-formerly Minister
under the Monarchy--advocates the
granting of the exclusive cable fran
chise with subsidy, ETC., to Colonel
Spalding. although he is aware that
the government never will be able
to pay $4,000 quarter in support
OF the colonel's scheme. Knowing
that, it would be reasonable to ex-
psct that the Senator would oppose
contract which will tangle our
finances up more hopelessly than
they even appear to be at present.
But he doesn't. Not much. His
great financial brain has Matched
scheme and he has found remedy
by which the necessary financial
subsidy can be raised. That he has
the cold cheek to frame his brainy
scheme in words is cause of
genuine admiration on our part. 1t
reminds us of the days when he
manipulated the notorious bank
charter and cast the only vote in
favor of that scheme in the Legis-
lature.

1t cannot be denied that the
war cloud which hangs over the
world at present is getting darker
and darker. 1t is a historical
fact that the end of each CEN
tury has always been fraught
with bloodshed and strife, in
ternally as well as externally.
The great powers of Europe to-
day are making and unmaking
alliances of all kinds. The fact
is that diplomacy to-day is using
every means to postpone the day
when the crash must come and
gain time for the different coun-
tries to prepare themselves for
the gigantic struggle which will
and must take place before the
present generation dates its let.
ters in the year 1900. Turkey
is threatened from all sides. The
Russian bear is extending his
claws and licking his blood
thirsty tongue towards the East
and South in anticipation of
gain. The passive and cold
brother nations who inhabit the
Scandinavian peninsula are
now glaring ferociously ready to
spring at each others throats.
Germany, under its impetuous,
indiscreet imperial master, is
drifting into the deceptive mael-
strom of conquest, and war, in
which all past experience, all
knowledge gained through the
horrors of war are forgotten, and
where only false sentiment and
sham patriotism are ruling.
And while the giants get
ready for the great war their
leaders have realized one thing,
and that is, that no army will
have show, no militia chance,
except provided with the indis-
pensable bicycle. And no won
der that the monarchial coun-
tries of Europe prefer the "Mon-
arch" to any other kind, and
supply their wheeling cavalry"
with that favorite brand.
We have watched proceedings
in the great countries with
great deal ofcare, and we have
secured the sole agency for Ha-
wall of the Monarch Cycle. We
have realized that, not alone a
large stock is necessary, but that
a workshop, in which all needed
repairs can be done is in the in
terest of our patrons, and we have
established one above our stores
on Fort street. This "bicycle
infirmary" will attend to any
sickness" which the wheel
may meet through accident or
lack of care. Our prices are far
below veterinary figures. We
fix the Monarchs sold by us at
cost price if ever they should
need it. We have everything
on hand and have secured the
services of a most experienced
bicycle man, whose work we
guarantee.
AS the bicycle is not only of
advantage in war but love, we
wish to call the attention of the
young boys and girls who have
to spend their vacations in Ho-
nolulu, that we have wheels just
suitable for them. If daddy
can't send them to the country
for a trip-or buy them bow
wow-let them ask him for a
Monarch. 1t will give more
pleasure and last much longer
than even a volcano trip.
