MAKES A PROTEST.
Hilo Citizen Gives Hawaii Herald
His Opinions.

His Opinions.
MR. EDITOR: = While wholesome
and temperate criticism upon general
public policy, national or local issues
may never be altogether misplaced, and
at times absolutely essential for pre-
serving the even balance, all of which
comes under the legitimate province
of newspaper, the qualification for
site, and must lie in the familiarity,
experience and knowledge gained by
the editorial writer.
Severe structures and "ex-catherda"
opinions upon conditions or individu-
ais should be held wholly inadmissable
to the pages of a periodical like the
Herald, but just making it's bow before
the public. Scurrility and blackguard-
ism make neither journalism or politics
The Independent voter declines to be
rallied by appeals to hate or prejudice
He fosters no feuds and vents no spite
For him the arena Of free and courteous
discussion, with the weapons of argu-
ment untipped by poison, is ample and
broad.
The struggle here is but the struggle
the world over. Happily for us, the
lines have not become so sharply drawn
but what mutual concessions may again
bring together in cordial juxtaposition
capitalist and producer And that is
why those who occupy position of in
fluence among the masses of the cleo
torate repudiate the Herald's attitude.

Bad Blood In Oklahema.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 24.-R. T. An
derson, aged 19, who had lately arriy.
ed in Greer county from Bellevue, Ill,
was employed by Horatio Buckley to:
work on farm, but was discharged
because Of his poor work. He went TO
town, bought rifle and returning to
Buckley's house in the evening, at
tempted to shoot him. Mrs. Buckley
blew out the light and the two men,
battled in the dark, Buckley being
fatally wounded with a ball from An:
derson's rifle. Anderson fed and hid
in hole in a creek bank and when q
posse attempted to capture him, he.
shot the leader, Deputy Sheriff Ferris,
and kept the others at bay four hours,
surrendering only when his amuni.
ton gave out. There were threats of
lynching, but he is now safe in the cid
county Jail at Mangum, though held
wholly without authority, as the re.
cent decision of the supreme court left
Greer county without officers to en-j
force the Oklahoma laws which now
govern the county.

The Ohio Tornado.

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 21.-Reports
this afternoon from Sandusky County
show that the tornado was more
disastrous than it was at first said
to be. A Mrs. Schornf and
her child were found this morn
ing after having lain out all,
night, wet to the skin. They were
blown out of a buggy and will die.
Wilson Brand, Of Booktown, and Hi.
ram Hendricks, of Muscalonge, aretwo
other fatally hurt. Hendricks had
both arms and legs broken. Edward
Logue, of Booktown, was crushed un-,
der a falling barn. The loss to prop
erty is estimated at 5000, 600. The fruit
growers along the bay shore and the
lake islands will sufera heavy loss by
reason of the hail utterly running q
large portion of the fruit crop. The
hail cut the blossoms from the trees,
and in some cases whole fruit farms
were uprooted. No disasters are re-
ported from the lakes, although the
wind reached a high velocity. At the
small village of Booktown not a build
ing was left standing.

Nearly Lynched by " omen.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, April 2O.-Because
she refuses to reveal the hiding place
of her new born babe, Miss Annie
Boatner, of Hickory Ridge, was near:
ly lynched by a crowd of women of
that place this morning. They placed
a clothes line about her neck, but not
until it was considerably tightened did
she admit giving birth to child. She
then showed the women where she
had buried the child on a lot and
made confession Of her crime. A
number of men kept the women at
bay, else they w"uld most likely have
lynched her. Miss Boatner is now
lying in critical condition in the
roor house and is under police surveil-
lance, pending an inquest by the coro-
ner,

HOME RULE FOR CUBA,
SPAIN TO PUT 1T IN OPERATION IN
FOUR WEEKS.

andThis Countrywide Laws Adopted in
1so5-ProspectS OF the Revolution Conn
ing to an End. ~
WASHINGTON, April, 2O.-The Span
lsh government will put into execu-
ton comprehensive system Of home
RUE or autonomy, for the Island OF
There is good reason to believe that
the State Department has received
from Madrid information to this ef-5
feet. In any event, it is beyond quea-
ton that this important move is as
sured. It promises to bring to sud-
den termination the irritation and
friction which has existed for ,nanyj
months between the United States and
Spain, and to replace this feeling with
one of afriendly and amicable nature.
The law which will be put into ef.;
feet was signed by the Queen Regent
of Spain, March Is, 1895, and viii be
followed by rules and regula-s
tions developing the present scheme
of reforms. By the time the Queen
Regent of Spain makes her address to
the Spanish Cortes, which assemblies
in one month, the law will be promul-
gated through Cuba and che long ex-.
pected policy of home rule for Cuba
will be realized. ,.
The law is very elaborate in its pro-
visions. The element of home rule is:
secured by the establishment of two
local bodies, drawn largely, if not en-
irely, from residents Of Cuba. One Of.
these is to be known as the provincial
chamber of deputies and the other asi
the council of administration. The,
latter has appellate jurisdiction over
the former. Large powersare granted
to the council of administration in the
internal management Of public affairs,
but the Governor General will con-
tinue as the supreme representative of:
Spain on the island and will have
direct charge of military, naval and
International questions. The details
of the reform project were published
at the time of their adoption by the
Spanish Cortes in 1895. .'a"Es

The collecting Of old china is rapidly becom.
Ing IA science. The tendency of the present
DAY IS 10 specialize. Instead Of gathering to-
gcthcr odds and ends and trash OF every dc.
scription. because IL possesses the single
merit Of nEe. the collector OF to-day ia payIny
more attention TO the grouping together of
pieces belonging 70 special branchos.of the pot
ters art and TO the completion Of some particu-
lar series OF designs, the work of a special
potter or the ceramic views Of a selected local.
ity. There are collectors OF Delft ware, OF
tortoiseshell or whieldon ware. Of slip deco.
rated pottery: there are others who condne
themselves to pepper boxes, and still Others
who collect nothing but pitchers or beer mugs.
Certain others are interested only In printed
china containing views relating TO their own
localities, while many consider dark .lue crock
cry tho only ware worth preserving. This
specializing has It's advantages in bringing to-
Rether many objectL which would otherwise
escape observation. and In furnishing tie stu
dent with material Of greater completeness
than could be obtained by desultory collect
inF. which enables him intelligentlyto classify
and arrange. to reach conclusions relating to
the past condition and development OF the art.
Collectors Of old English china bearing
American designs are perhaps in the majority
In this country. and their number is constantly
increasing. This demand for the limited sup
ply Of such pieces. which are becoming rarer
year by year, has resulted In the rapid increase
In values, aud In many instances preposterous
prices have been realized BY dealers. Take.
for instance. the design showing the first train
Of cars OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
A few, years ago this pattern could be pur-
chased for a couple Of dollars or less.
Now 1T is sold Mt ten. fifteen. and sometimes
a. high as twenty dollars. This deep blue
print, en- account Of Its Quaintness and his.
torical interest, Is exceedingly popular. Across
the foreground extends a train of diminutive
