THE FACTS SUSTAIN THE STATE
HERALD.

Gov. Oates, usually very level-headed,
seems to have become befogged on the
states financial condition In conse-
quence Of q statement in the State Her.
aid to the effect that there will be prob
able deficit in the state treasury on the
1st of January. 1897, of near 100000, he
insisted that either he or the State Her.
aid has falsified the condition of the
treasury, and demanded of the legislature
a Joint committee to investigate and re-
port on the matter. After that commit
tee has made a thorough investigation
of the matter through the best sources
of information at it's command, and
makes it's report which practically sus-
tains the statement in the State Herald,
the governor rushes into print and en-
deavors to show that the committee has
not done him justice, that in their report
they have included two loans amounting
in the aggregate to $150,000 which do not
fall due until later date under the
terms of the contract governing their
payment. -
In the first place Governor Oates does
not undertake, in his recent message to
the pending session of the general as
sembly, to foreshadow the condition of
the treasury on the first day of Janu-
airy, and why he became so incensed at
the statement made in the State Herald
and used the harsh language of charac-
terizing it as false when it does not i'm
any manner conflict with any of his
statments, is strange to account for
The only effort made by the governor to
show the condition of the treasury is
found on page 10 of pamphlet containing
his biennial message, when he says the
total deficiency in the revenues at THIS
TIME is about S225. 177.54, which is sup
posed to be on Monday before the as
sembling of the general assembly on
Tuesday. This is nearly two months pre-
ceding the date intended to be covered
by The State Herald, and by the joint
committee of the two houses of the gen.
eral assembly that has since reported.
Those who are partial to the governor
insist that the statement made by the
State Herald and the report of the joint
committee, are both inspired by his sue
eessor. Captain Johnston, and are intend
ed to injure the governor. Are not the
governor and his friends drawing largely
on their imaginations? Are not these
charges quixotio in the extreme7 Was
not Captain Johnston, who was so soon
to succeed Governor Oates In the impor-
tant position of chief magistrate Of the

Feb. Is, and 100000 due Selma bank
ON Jan. Is had been included in the
amount claimed to be due on Jan. 1,
which, subtracted. would reduce the
amount of the deficiency to $418.000.
If Gov. Oates felt authorized to use
and was justified inusing the 100000 due
a Selma bank to help make up the def
cheney he was preparing to report on the
first of November, a startled and muchiy
astounded public will wonder why he
thinks now that the special Committee
did wrong in counting it in when that
committee came tofgure on the probable
deficiency two months later

GOVERNOR, QUIT FIGURING.

On page ten. in the pamphlet containing
Gov. Oates biennial message to the gen.
eral assembly, we find the following
Amount of cash in the treasury last
Monday. $195, 75o.46,, which deducted
leaves as the present deficiency $685.
177.54" To the figuring should be added
the $10O,00O borrowed from Nelson's bank
which makes the total deficiency in the
revenue AT THIS TIME about s225. 17754.
In an afternoon paper of yesterday We
find the following in a special from Mont
gomery:
"a message from Gov. Oates was the
only feature OF the day. The Governor

THAT ANNEXATION PLANK

If Joseph Manley, chairman OF the
executive committee of the Republican
national committee, is any prophet
or knows what his party intends 10
do the Hawaiian plank of the Repub-
Jican Dlatform means business. Inc
information which tn1s paper places
before its readers on this point leaves
mn room 10 question the Significance
of the Hawaiian declaration made al
the ST. Louis convention In the past
the opponents of annexation nave
maintained that the mention Oh Ha-
wall was simply a sop to the Jlngo
faction. and if not this, the word con-
troll did NOT necessarily signify that
the United States would take any more
positive action toward taking posses
sion of these islands than it has in
the past.
This statement of Manley's showing
that Harrison was the originator OF
the plank and that the party intends
tn advocate annexation pure and sim
nle' is a fitting sequel to the state
ment coming from candidate Mckinley
which was published here a few
months ago. 1t shows that Harrison
influence. at least in his party, is quite
as strong as when he occupied the
Presidents chair, and that the friend
ship displayed between the ex-Presl-
dent and the present candidate during
the nominating convention of 1892 has
not grown cold by reason OF recent
politicaI events 1t also demonstrates
that although the question of annex
alton has apparently remained dor
mant for a number of months now, the
forces of the annexation party bott
here and in the United States have
not been asleep, though there wa:
very little surface demonstration OF
either side.
The enemies of annexation will very
likely say, What are you going to d(
about it. Mckinley isn't elected yet?
We can only reply that there is moth
ing to do, but wait for the outcome o
the election and be prepared to ac
promptly. 1t is no foregone oonclu
sion that Mckinley will be the mex
President of the United States, in fac
there is good reason to believe that I
is an even fight between the two can
didates. Even the election OF Bryal
would by no means be regarded as
black eye to Hawaiian hopes OF poll
teal union. Happily enough, he doe
not represent the Cleveland Democra
CIV which today composes a very small
minority of the American people.

SibyFs condemnation OF the custom
which makes women's hats veritable
burying ground for beautiful birds
ought to be read and the suggestions
followed by every woman who has a
spark of humanity left in her make
I'D. 1t is only the thoughtless ones
and the blind followers of cold blood
ed, heartIess Dame Fashion who will
adorn their heads with plumage which
represents the wanton destruction OF
thousands of the most beautiful of
Gods creatures. A not uncommon sight
in this day and generation is to see
woman one day rescue a bird from the
claws of the house cat and the next
day appear upon the street with hat
bedecked with plumes which cost the
lives of more birds than the poor house
cat could destroy during its usual nine
life period. How many women are
ready to admit that they have less hui
manity than a house cat? Very few
indeed, but let them look over then
hats and bonnets before disclaimlne
the accusation.
