TOPICS OF The DAT.

We are Aattered to see this p. G..
Advertiser taking the cuo from The
INDEPENDENT and virtually admitting
that Mr. j. w. Foster is here as an
agent for the Spalding Cable Com
pany, fact which we have known
for some time. We are pleased to
notice that our esteemed rontem-
porary also follows in our footsteps
by opposing an eventual extension
Of the Spalding franchise and by
advocating that all franchises should
be given to the highest respo asible
bidder. We actually shed tears when
we read tue following lines in the
Advertiser editorial:
Exclusive franchises are entirely
contrary to the progressive spirit OF
the age, and the people Of Honolulu
have learned lesson in granting
everlasting franchises that ought to
last them for all time to come"
How sublime and how very, very
true. But when we had dried our
tears We suddenly remembered the
violent campaign headed by the
Advertiser which, year or so ago,
was inaugurated in the interest Of a
company praying for An exclusive
franchise for not less than fifty years
to run electric street ears. And if
we are not mistaken we think that
the owner Of the Advertiser, Mr.. j.
b. Castle, and the manager Of tie
same journal, Mr.. BalleDtyne, were
the main promoters OF that "exclu-
sive" franchise, They didn't get it,

a Most Tamabla Tiger.

The most lamablo Of all the blg
cats is the cheetah, or hunting
leonard, creature which in its
habits aud appearance seems to
form curious link between the cats
and dogs. It's legs are logger than
those OF a tiger, it has true canlne
teeth, thick and deep rooted like
those Of a hound, aud its claws are
rather blunt, on account OF beng
less perfectly relractable than those
of common cat. The dog-cat, as
some naturalists have proposed to
call the cbeetah, gets so tame that
it can be trusted to pass the night
under or even in its masters bed,
and will play for hours with aggres-
sive and troublesome puppies with
out losing its good humor. But out
in the fields its semi-feline instincts
are apt to revive at the most unex-
pected moments. 1t will fly at
domestic animals or bristle up with
an omiuous growl at sight OF run
ming boy, and on hunting excursions
it is by far the safest plan to keep
its eyes covered with a hood till
there is chance to get a glimpse OF
legitimate game.

tiser
Tho Gre at Waikiki last night
demonstrates the absolute necessity
OF having fire engine stationed in
that closely settled suburb. All the
houses at Waikiki arc built Of wood
and it is simply useless for the do
partment to dispatch its heavy
steam engines an four miles jour
ney simply to SEQ the horses played
out and the house burned down
when the fire brigade finally arrives
on the scene Of the coulagration.
The corner of the Waikiki road and
the road leading to Waikki.k kai
would be an excellent site for a Gre
station. We cannot understand why
the good people Of Waikiki lie
quietly in their hammocks, aud like
fatalists leave it to Providence to
burn or preserve their houses Aud
we certainly even less understand
the inaction OF the underwriters. 1t
is possible that the owners OF the
property aud other residents of Wal
kiki have petitioned so often for a
fire engine and found their prayer
in vain that they Gually have be-
come tired aud disgu.ted. The
residents OF the "plaius" prayed ia
vain to the Government to have the
chemical engine at least stationed in
the los adjoining he Reretauia
ScbooI-houso. The Chemical En-
gine is locked up ON Mauuakea
Street. The B.retana lot is still
vaaant and the people OF the
"plains' are still praying The
Waikiki people should show the
same periaacity aud perhaps in the
dim future the powers that will be
will listen to the plaintive song of the
neglected and send the necessary
engines for he benefit OF those pa
tieut people. A few houses OF more

ANNEXATION IMPOSSIBLE.

Our contemporaries have sudden
ly opened an annexation campaign,
presumably Tor the special benefit
OF Mr.. John w. Foster. We are
told daily that the only salvation
for the Hawaiian Islands lies in an
nsxation to the. United States. We
are assured that Mr.. Dole's "funny
little republic" is perfectly safe and
solid, but that it will be wiser to ex-
change it with stateshood under
the Stars aud Stripes. And we are
finally told that monarchy in
Hawaii, although admittedly the
wish of an overwhelming majority
OF the people is an impossibility.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-11-12


True, they have lost their Govern
ment, they have been deprived OF a
voice in the political affairs OF their
country. They have learned that
the usurpers, uow ruling the land at
the points OF bayonels, speculate on
the possibility that the Hawaiians'
hatred against Mr.. Dole's republic
is so strong that even annexation
and loss Of independence p:otorabls
to continuance OF tho missionary
thralldom. Nothing can swetye
them from what they consider their
sacred duty, to uphold their indo
pendence at all hazards.
The foreign residents who feel
like the Hawaiians, are inspired by
the conviction that no honorable
man can lend his hand in assisting
the steal which the rebels OF 1893
proposed to Mr.. John w. Foster.
Fairminded men who have derived
all they possess through the conf
dence and kindness OF the aborgines
of these islands can hardly be ex-
pected to join scandalous CON
spiracy unparalleled in modern his
tory.
What America will obtain if an
nexation-by force-of the Hawai-
ian Islands ever should be consunl.
mated is not difficult to see even
by casual observer. We have the
most heterogeneous population pos
sible. Asiatics Of the lowest class
are swarming in the country dis
tricts while the higher grade heath
ems are supplanting and suppressing
storekeepers, mechanics aud work
ingmeu in the cities. We have a
Hawaiian population, eaty-going
and kind, unsuted to meet tho hard
lines OF struggling for living,
race which per force must remain
here. We have a serious religious
split among the different natiunali-
ties. We have sugar kings who
won't live here or spend their money
here, and we have large number of
residents who will live here and
have no money to spond. And then,
bless you, we have the missionaries
and the family compact. Did you
know all this, Mr.. John w. Foster,
when you made that annexation
treaty.

In conclusion let me ask, What have
you done, or what are you intending to
do for your own, and specially your own
household? Some of you have done noble
things for those dependent upon your
care. You have toiled early and late to
provide them food, clothing, school priv
ileges and home, but what have you done
or what are you intending to do for the
development of their soul life? What is
it your purpose that they should grow
into? What do you wish them to become?
How terribly solemn is the truth empha-
sized in the words of the text, eff any
provide not for his own and specially his
own household, he hath denied the faith
and is worse than an unbelever" If it
is sin to neglect provision for the body's
needs, to prove Indifferent to the welfare
of the intellectual and social powers, to
make no provision for the home life, can
it be sin of lesser magnitude or attend
ed with less serious consequences to neg
lect provision for the souls needs and
allow our children to drift helpless as
wreck in the presence of storm? Let
us all take hold of this solemn truth, that
we shall not have done our duty until we
have done our best, our very best, in pro
viding for own, and specially our own

"reminiscences of the Yankee Blade

No doubt there are several old fellows and
girls who share with the writer of this pleas
ant memories of the Yankee Blade, which
started in Watervlle nearly three-score
years ago. | think it was geographically
the neatest and edtorially the brightest
weekly Journal in Marie. From Waterville
1t went to Gardiner and from there to Bos-
ton and finally to Brooks, Me-, where, I
think, it still lives under the supervision of
the poet Foss, who succeeded the late Justin
Jones. The first editor, William Mathews,
is still living at a great age.
William Mathews was a brother of the
man murdered by Dr. Coolidge fifty years
ago, perhaps. 1t was a case celebre and
pointed inquiry:
O V. p. Coolidge, how could YOU
such terrible deed Of murder do
In point Of fact he did it with prussic acid
He was convicted of murder and died in the

We hesitate about contradicting writer
so well informed as the Mail contributor
but the present editor of the Blade is Mr. e.

Sam Walter Foss, was only a contributor

now. But is this the original Yankee
