An evening paper wants the Gov
ernment to get into complications
with some foreign powers to force
annexation to the United States on
this benighted country. If our con.
tenn porary only had the inside facts
it would realize that our "funny lit
tie" Republic has got all the COM
plications it needs at present. None
Of them, however, will lead to "an-
nexation." Until the Hawaiians say
SO, the question of annexation is
simply no question at all.

Don Caesar Celso Moreno is vast
ing his substance in paying postage
on blackmailing letters to prominent
citizens of this city. Don Caesar
Celso according to recent advices
has found friend and partner in
the alphabetical Harden whose
choice record in Honolulu, San
Francisco and the Eastern States is
well-known. That the firm of Mo-
reno and Harden should branch out
in the line now pursued by them
need not surprise anyone familiar
with the adventurous qualities of
the professional organ grinder and
the professional hoodlum. That the
Don has access to the stationery of
the U. S. Congress is more than sur
prising. That blackmailing letters
by private individual in Washing
ton, who tolerates the companion
ship of forger and black leg like
the alphabetical Harden, can be
written on stationery stamped with
the name of the House Of Repre-
sentatives of the United States, is
Infamous If we had not seen one
or two samples we would refuse to
credit the facts. Whatever griev-
ances Don Moreno may have against
Hawaii and people here, he has GER
tainly shown a deplorable want of
tact in uttering them on the official
letter paper of Congress.

The prosperity and happiness of
Hawaii nei have visibly decreased
since the advent of Mr.. Oole's funny
little republic. Enquiries at our
leading stores show decrease in
receipts of 25 percent for the year
ending June 30th, 1896, as compared
with former years. At the same
time we see the Hawaiians driven to
the wall and actually subjected to
starvation and objects of charity.
We see the Portuguese colony suf-
fering and unable to resist the ever
increasing competition with Asiatic
coolies. Among all classes we find
dissatisfaction if not open hostility
towards the republic, which is con-
sidered the cause of the changed
conditions of the once happy Para
disc Of the Pacific.

To expect that a similar feeling
should exist in Hawaii towards the
so-called Hawaiian holiday which is
to commemorate the anniversary of
the establishment of Mr.. Dole's oil
garchy shows the wonderful want of
appreciation of the true feelings OF
the Hawaiian nation and of the
want of tact on the part of Mr..
Dole and his officials, which made a
deep impression even on Miss Kate
Field, hired for a certain mission
here.

The Rising of Land.

Observation-Disclosures that the shores
around Hudson's Bay are rising, and this
quite rapidly. Lines OF driftwcod are to te
seen in many places that are far above the
level of the highest point OF tide-water
These drifts occur in sCme localities nearly
fifty feet above the present water level. and
from this point to what IS now the higii-tide
mark. There are also gravel terraces that
are very well defined. and other indications
that point Enthusiastically to a very great
change in the topography OF the country
since its history was known TO man. 1t
is said that in 1910 the navigator, Henry
Huds spent the winter on the east Coast
OF the bay, south OF latitude 53 degrees.
There IS 30 tay which would be navigable
for this purpose. 1t is subject of common
remark among the natives and the men Of
the Hudson Bay Company that the water
has become lower by very many feet since
their first acquaintance with that region.
Men who have visited tte bay after many
years of absence declare that portions of
the oast and inlets that were formerly
accessible mt all times can now be reached
only when the tide is at its highest point

That the OUTCOME will be favorable to San

trustees Thursday night That no change
should be made, but it has been deemed
advisable not to settle IL entirely until
after The rates are actually secured.
San francisco has no competition for

should occur that would cause 1t to be

not want ft next year, although IL is now
In the lead in the contest for 1893. The
reason for this is that the trans MIssissipp

fine auditorium building outside the grounds
which will lie rendered the Christian En-
