Webster, who was then Secretary OF
State, addressed note to Mr.
Severance, our Minister at Hawaii,
in which he said
1.-THE Government OF the United
States was the first to acknowledge
the national existence of the Hawai-
ian Government, and to treat with
it as an independent State. Its ex-
ample was soon followed by several
Of the governments OF Europe; and
the United States, true to its treaty
obligations, has in no case interfered
with the Hawaiian Government for
the purpose OF opposing the course
of its own independent conduct, or
of debating to it any particular line
OF policy. In acknowledging the
independence of the islands and
OF the Government established over
them, it was not seeking to promote
any peculiar object Of its own. What
it did, and all that it did, was done
openly in the face of day, in entire
good faith, aud known to all nations
1t declared its real purpose to be to
favor the establishment Of govern
ment at very important point in
the Pacific Ocean, which should be
able to maintain such relation with
the rest OF the world as are main
tanned between civilized states.
"From this purpose it has never
swerved for single moment, nor is
it inclined, without the pressure Of
some necessity, to depart from it
now, when events have occurred
giving to the islands and to their
intercourse with the United States
Jew aspect and increased import
ance.
"This Gov Arnmeut still desires to
see the nationality Of the Hawa iian
Government maintained, its depend
ent administration Of public affairs
respected, and its prosperity and
population increased"
On March %, 1S43, Mr.. Webster
wrote to Mr. Everett, our British
Minister:
"SIR: The course adopted by this
Government in regard to the Sand
witch Islands has for its sole object
the preservation of the independ-
ence OF those islands and the main
-tenance by their government OF an
entire impartiality in their inter-
course with foreign states. The
United States desire To exercise no
undue influence or control over the
government of the islands, nor to
obtain from it any graut of exclusive
privileges whatever. This was
solemnly declared 10 the Presidents
message to Congress, and it is de-
clared also in the instructions given
to Mr.. Brown, OF which you will re-
ceive herewith copy.
"The President would exceedingly
regret that suspicion of a sinister
purpose of any kind on the part Of
the United States should prevent
England and France from adopting
the same pacific, just, and conserva-
tive course toward the government
and people of this remote but in
teresting group Of islands.

The sane question was before the public but few months ago, sud its reapPesrance now in the field of official jugglery and po- Eticsl scheming, should call for general condemnation all over the union. Southern Utah IS a bar Ten waste, inhabited only by Indians and a few white people who live and thrive principally of the Indians. To attempt to favor the small num- 57r of people who petition Utah officials when hundreds of others and their interests are to be weighed in the same balance, Is insulting to American citizenship and dishonest ra purpose. If cSrreid out, Mohave county alone will lose over one-half of its favorite mining field, will be simply snuihilated, while with Co., conino its stock, mineral and timber interests will simply be cut in two.

cause of justice, the move to grab a fair portion of these two cOmmuni- ties, IS nothing more than a vicious aad uncalled for act and has the disgraceful feature attached to it, that not over fifty people will be benefited and who at that have nothing at stake but nominal inter ests.
 The following dispatch shows the method adopted and is taken from the Associated Press:
 ~Congress has under consideration the admission of Arizona into the Union, and 1t may properly attend to a detail which IS suggested by the state of Utah, and which in fact should receive attention, whether the territory is admitted or not.
 The governor and legislature of Utah have presented tO Congress a memorial a,king that portions of Coconino and MohaVe counties m Arizona, which lie north of the Colorado river, should be annexed to their state. It will readily bc understood the object is not to acquire either area or population. The true reason IS simply that the Colorado forms "aa impossible bar rier" between the portion of Arizona on the Utah side, and the remainder of the territory. This cuts the peo- pie of from communication with Arizona, and with its courts, except by a circuitous route through cOun- try now wild and rough, and Occu- pied by Apaches and Navajos, the people of these counties are said by the memorial to live within four miles of the Utah line, and 10 be incapable of receiving any protec- ton from Arizona. Proof on the subject is furnished by the petition of fifteen residents and land holders in Coconino county, asking to have the change made, and supported by twenty residents of Kane county, Utah, who are taxpayers in Coconino county. The additional reason set forth is that the land is north of the Colorado and sParselY settled, un- profitable for irrigation and suit able only for grazing; that the herds and fI cks are owned in Utah; that from the very wildness of the land they have place of refuge from the lswless, against whom Utah is now compelled to protect stock owners, since Arizona cannot"

For this reason it is important that the treat ment be commenced on the appear ance of the first symptoms; even then it requires careful treatment to to stay its progress.

 TucsoS, April. 27.-Ths tactics employed by the bolters in MAricopa and YAyapai counties was re-enacted here to-day. There were forty-one delegates in the convention and of this number the bolters controlled the seventeen from the Tucson pre- cinct. The Tucson delegation at tempted to control the convention by counting out proues of legally e,ected delegates from the country precincts. This the county dele gates would not consent to and a split ensued, the result being that two conventions were held, regular convention consisting of the cOun- try delegates with twenty-four dele gates and a rump convention of seventeen delegates consisting of the Tucson delegation. The regular republicans are for Mckinley in which they represent the sentiment of the republican, party of the eoun- ty. The rump delegates are for anything to beat Mckinley. The following we'll known re- publicans comprise the regular Pima county delegation to PheniX. C. W. Wright, W. c. Davis, H. E. Lacy, A. Bird. Geo. Christ, C. F. Schumacher, J. c. Perry, R. H.

There is nothing the matter
with the money of the country.
There is the same kind of money
and the same volume of it practi-
cally that there has been for the
past semi decade. The trouble is
with the labor of the country.
which has not been put to work.
Money and labor alike have been
unproductive. The remedy lies
in such legislation in congress as
will put both of these, money and
labor, profitably to work. 1t is
in the power of legislation to do
this.

The British prints denounce
Mckinley as the agent of the
American monopolists, but this
is because the man from Ohio is
not inclined to shut the mills of
America for the benefit of those
that are opened in England to
supply the wants of American
consumers. There has not been
elected to the presidency of this
republic a more American man
than Mckinley since the close of
the war. This is the reason why
his popular vote is so large as
well as his popularity.

The election of a president is

is in order for that congress to
consider the wants of the masses
as they have not been considered

ton of labor is demanded of the
men whom the people have now
elected to congress, and no ex-
cuSe will avail.

Before another presidential
election comes around it will be
in order to so amend the laws
governing the electoral franchise
as to make no one eligible as Il
voter who cannot show that he
has sufficient knowledge of the
constitution to read it, and is
able to prepare his own Austria
liam ballot. This is the least that
should be accepted. Less than
this is almost criminal.
