Uncle ROasts Texas Court of This City
For Getting Gay.
In the United States Supreme
court at Washington, in a case of
General David Stanley and others
against Mary A. Schwalby, APP
pealed from BeXar county, judg-
ment was reversed and the case
remanded yesterday, with orders
to dismiss the case as to the United
States, and to enter Judgment in
favor of the individual defendants.
The case involved title to lot
in the San Antonio military reser-
walton, which was claimed by
Mrs. Schwalby on a deed made to
her father in 1860, fifteen years be-
fore the land was included in the
reservation, but which was not re-
corded until 1889.
The case was first brought
against General Stanley, and the
United States was made party of
defendant, contrary to the rule
that the United States cannot be
sued in state court. Mrs. Schwal-
by obtained judgment in the Texas
Supreme court. and the case was
taken to the United States Su-
preme court, where the decision
was reversed and the case re-
manded. 1t was again taken up
by the Bexar county court and APP
pealed this time to the Fourth
Court of Civil Appeals, where de-
cision was rendered for Mrs.
Schwalby, and the costs taxed
against the United States govern
ment. The court refused an ap-
plication of the United States for a
rehearing.
In rendering his opinion in the
United States Supreme court, JUS.
tice Gray severely reprimanded
the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals.

Committed Suicide.

Readers of the PRESS will recollect
a recent item appearing in this paper
announcing the death of VIM. Hard
away, a former citizen of Miller, who
held a homestead in Florence town.
ship. N. johnson has just received
another letter from the Mayor of
Belt, Mont, saying that VIM. Hard
away had hung himself. The only
thing found on his person to identi-
fly him was an l. o. o. +. card issued
from the lodge here. When he left
here he was known to have had sey-
eral hundred dollars, but no money
was found about him. The letter
says "a friend of Hardaway told the
mayor that some two or three years
ago he had been "rolled," or held up,
by robbers, and relieved OF $500.
II is not known what caused him TO
commit suicide. We believe he had
no relatives here.

record at Miller foots up:

These figures are obtained from the
C.. & n. W. shipping books and are
therefore reliable. The estimated
value OF these various products is
obtained from experts engaged in
the various branches of business
here represented, and should also be
very close to correct.
This is II very good showing, both
in amount and the varied kinds of
products--especially when it is noted
that a large crop of corn, oats, hay,
barley, millet. vegetables, etc, was
also produce ed, but consumed here.
Such ii rec ord in mixed farming,
stockraising and d~airying indicates
a marked change from the early, ex-
elusive wheat raising days, and az
lords encourage ment to the people
who have held on with grim deter
mination to force success out of adj
verse circumstances. They have APP
parently passed through the disad-
vantages of early settlers, have now
firmly determined on diversified pro-
ducts, which is the ground work for
general success in any agricultural
country, and are to be congratulated
upon the very reasonable prospect
of a brighter future along these lines.

THE JAPANESE.


The Hawaiian republic, it seems,
has an outlander question of it's own
which seems likely to prove extreme
ly troublesome and embarrassing.
There are more adult male Japanese
in the islands than there are men of
any other nationality, and they are
beginning to take an active interest
in public affairs. The japanese were
imported at first as contract laborers,
but they were followed by those of Il
superior class, and the result has been
to give the race large voice in the
management of affairs. This puts the
future of Hawaii and its relations to
the United States in an entirely differ
ent light from that which it has occu-
pied in the popular mind hitherto.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-06-19

further basis for the proposition that
very large number of the foreigners
here are bounden in justice to them
selves, to their mother country and
to their adopted land to secure full
Hawaiian citizenship. AS to the An
neXation aspect, it has long been the
policy of the Government and indi-
viduals in both public and private life
to spare no effort to upbuild Hawaii
in every way in anticipation of finally
having her attached to the United
States to the end that the latter may
acquire province creditable and val
used against the Annexation Party at
Washington has been that it was com
posed almost exclusively of "Uitland-
ers. This point could be dulled to
the disappearing point. Now consider
The naturalization sentiment in the
United States-the model of Hawaii.
So soon as foreigner settles in one
of the political divisions of that coun-
! try he is at once confronted with ar
guments to the effect that if the coun-
try is good enough to furnish him
residence and livelihood, he can do
nothing less than become part of its
citizenship. Until he does that he is
debarred from the privileges of the
ballot and from the benefits of free ac-
lurement of public land. Where is
the difference if Hawaii is substituted
for the United States? Now, as to the
ordinary exercise of citizenship. Is it
right for man to enjoy all the pre-
negatives of citizenship here and at
the same time retain citizenship in /"
foreign country? Is that common
| fairness? Nearly every man who
comes within the scope of the natural
ization scheme has subscribed to some
sort of an oath of fealty to this gov
eminent. He cannot serve two mast
ers. Certainly to some degree, giving
no consideration whatever to ruling
or interpretations. he impairs his orig
! inaI citizenship. What man who has
acquaintance with equity will deny
this? Finally, it must be conceded
that a good sized body of foreigners
! imbued with national sentiment would
be power indeed for the good of
Hawaii.

Every man of every nation; even
a man without a country, feels the
tremble and the Jingle of the tidal
wave of patriotism that goes around
the world on July Fourth of each
year. Even among semi-savage peo-
pie the day is marked and honored
one. No man with spark of the love
of liberty in his composition can re-
sist the universal feeling that attaches
to this day in the calendar of the
march and progress of freedom and
independence. In Hawaii the day is
doubly honored. 1t not alone COM
memorates the achievement of the In
dependence of the United States OF
America, but as well is the anniver-
sary of the establishment of Repub-
lican government in the Islands of
the Pacific. May it be a glorious
Fourth in Honolulu and throughout
Hawaii, without an incident or argu-
ment to mar the celebration or ruffie
the feelings.
