BIRDS SHOW AFFECTION.
Largest and Strongest of the Flock He
the Little Ones.

Largest and Strongest of tho Flock Help
the Little Ones.
Numerous incidents have been recited
showing how the larger and stronger
animals have assisted and protected
smaller and weaker ones, says the New
York World.
Among the birds, however, there is a
practice which is just as interesting as
any Of the acts of consideration per-
formed by animals. a striking instance
OF that is shown on the continent Of
Europe.
For smaller birds to attempt to fly
across the broad Mediterranean would,
because Of the inadaptability of their
wings and powers of endurance, be i'm
possible. To reach warmer climate
through Asia Minor, Syria and Pales-
tine would be quite as certain to result
il their death.
Through the kindliness of the crane,
however, the small birds are enabled to
reach the warmer climate with little
effort.
When the crane is about to migrate It
hies In wide circles close to the ground,
uttering loud and peculiar cry. as of
alarm, and can be heard at great dis
tance. The small birds recognize it as
call for them. and they Immediately
fly to the crane and take up position
on the cranes back. When he has all
the passengers he can carry comfort
ably the crane starts on his long Jour
ney. Arrived in the warm south lands,
the small birds fly from the back of
their friend and are safe for the winter.

The United States has Pearl Har-
Dor, and has had it for years, but
she is apparently not in a hurry to
do anything practical with it.
Perhaps she already feels that in
her demi semi protectorate and
"hands- loft" policy, she has white
elephant on her hands and does not
wish to mount it and ride it. And
then what can Hawaii give 10 return
that she has not already given or still
is giving2 Far better will it be for the
United States and ourselves that we
should remain little Switzerland
Of our own, progressive in civiliza-
ton, firm in our autonomy and
friendly with all nations. Such a
policy would make us far more
useful outpost to the United States
than any conquest of Hawaii by her
without the consent OF the whole
people. A condition OF affairs such
as exists in Cuba to day is not de-
sirable for Hawaii, and yet annexa-
ton contrary to the popular will
might so result and disastrously to
the best interests Of all.

A letter from a prominent Japa-
nese which appeared in our columns
a few days ago has created great
deal of comment To our ideas our
correspondent is simply telling the
whole truth, aud we say so, although
we are "Anti-Asiatics." The Asiatic
question cannot be solved by our
fosming of the mouth and employ
ing japanese. No remedy against
Asiatic invasion can te found in
abrogating the commercial treaty
between Japan and Hawaii. Gen
eral Hartwell may speak for hours
against Asiatics at the annexation
meetings. He will notinue to hire
them for Clerical, culinary and me.
chanical" purposes. The appear
ance Of Asiatic coolies is not dan
gerous in itself. The danger is
caused by tho acts of the misguided,
thoughtless men and women who
teach English (under the name of
religion) to the hordes who eventu-
ally will drive our children to the
wall. Frank Damon, Bishop Willis,
and Others of their high and lofty
principles, are blind to the fact that
they are running those to whom
their allegiance, as civilized men, is
due, while chasing the will-o'. the
ways labelled conversion OF heath
ems to Christianity. BY Converting"
the coolies, they furnish ammuni-
tion for he East to combat the

1t first asserts that "the United
States would gain in the acquisition
of Hawaii as rich prize as any ma
ton has secured from the earliest
days of conquest" Perhaps so, if
the United States is in the stealing
business, so much deprecated by
our contemporary when Great Bri-
tain interferes with other weak ma
tions in the pursuance of her vast
plans for progressive civilization or
colonization. So much for the
morality of the advocates of annexa
ton, the new corners who are
looking after the boobies aud spoils
arising from Congressional votes
from the public Treasury to be ex-
pended in the interest of contrac-
tors or land grabbers and boomers.
But would--supposing the steal
ing OF their land from the Hawai-
ians should be unhappily consum-
mated-the United States, acquire
80 'rich prize" as our contempor-
airy suggests2 We think not Her
responsibilities and expenses in
maintaining what she had unjustly
acquired would be enormous in the
face of the fact that the Pacific will
some day be the battle site OF the
world. To defend her outpost from
the possible attacks of Russia, Great
Britain, Japan or Australasia would
tax her resources to the uttermost.
The construction OF land fortifica-
tions would most certainly cost
millions for Defense" and take
many years to construct. The feet
OF the United States is not powerful
enough to blockade the islands
against any OF the great naval pow
ers. The population OF the Islands,

quest by Hyde, Smith, Thurston,

How about Texas2 The Texans
in 1874, conquered their country from
Mexico under General Houston, aud
by force Of arms won their indepen-
dence. Their petition for admission
was at first rejected by Congress,
but being endorsed by the people in the
fall elections, it was accepted before
the close of Tyler's administration.
The question of the annexation Of
Texas rent before the people for their
decision. The democrats who favor
ed its admission nominated Polk for
President, and after close contest
he was elected, But remember
Texas adjoined American States on
the American Continent, and was
not an independent country in the
middle OF the ocean over 1000 miles
from the American coast.

man appeared upon the scene, carrying a
baby in her arms, whose parentage she
charged upon the groom. She tried to force
the child into the arms of the bride, and
her husband, fearing bodily violence.

away. but when the bride and groom en-
tered the carriage she attempted TO put
the baby in with them, but was prevented.
Afterward she went to the home of the
bride, and gaining entrance to the bacl.
yard deposited the baby on the kitchen
floor. The bridal party were absent at
the time. and the brides father put the
child in an adjoining alley, where it re-
maiped for some three hours an object of

of the child was induced to come and take
