A ComucatiOn.

To the Ncihart HERALD: Dear Ed
itor: In behalf of the Clancy Miners
Union, | ask you to give this letter
space in the columns of your most val
liable paper.
My aim in presenting this to the pub
lie is to disabuse the minds of the peo-
pie as far as possible from the mis-
leading statements made by some i'll
minded person the mouth piece Of the
corporation.
To this end l have carefully collected
facts from the best and most reliable
sources and with what personal knowl-
edge l possess, of the controversy be-
tween the employers and employees
since Aug. 1st of this year. | believe
the true facts of the cause leading to
the present trouble at this place should
be read at the fireside of every home and
hamlet in this vast and great state and
after having stated the true facts l
ask you rs a liberty loving citizen in the
name of justice to decide in your opin-
ion if the Clancy Miners Uuion
had a just cause for the noble stand TAX
en- by them for the privileges that is ac-
corded a few American citizens.
1t has been the custom of the mine
owners in this camp to compel all their
employees to board at the company
boarding house.
Married men who have large families
TO support "aud who are living within a
stones throw of the mines" were denied
the privilege of eating with their loved
ones, and were compelled to pay the
company one dollar per day for board
the same as the single men. Now had
those men not earned their three and
a half dollars per day they would not
have held their jobs very long, and TAX
ing it for granted they only got a fair
price for their labor. Do you my dear
readers think that these employers
should dictate as to where, when or how
they should spend their wages or any
part of them. Well the Clancy Miners
Union did not concede this right and in
consequence thereof sent a committee,
composed of members of the union, to
wait on the mine owners asking them to
allow their employees to board wherey-
er they wanted to-. The mine owners
asked to be given until the first of Au-
gust to answer the union and on the
first day of August, the answer came in
the form of a shut down in all the
principal mines in the camp.
8 On the 5th day of September the
managers of the Free Coinage mine ac-
coded to the demand of the union. An
agreement was drawn up and signed
whereby the manager agreed to emplo j
resident miners of Lump Gulch in pref,
erence to strangers.
They lived up to that agreement long
enough to hire four resident miners.
Then a corporation mouth piece came
|, to camp and Immediately went to work
at the Free Coinage mine. The union
asked him to desist work, whereupor
the management discharged all the un'
ion men they had hired and made a YER
!. bal declaration to the effect that any Il.
greement they had heretofore made
with the union was off. They contin.
ued to work the mine for a short time
with leasers but there being too many Of
them, and perhaps not of the righI
kind of timber they quarreled among
themselves and the result was the mine
again closed down on the fourth day o.
October. They then reported the cause
of the shut down to be due to the fac

swEET DAUGHTER OF HAWAII.


We produce an original poem OF
one Of our original poets who has
lost his heart here-aud perhaps his
purse--iu worshipping at the shrine
OF our Hawaiian beauties. For his
own sake we hope that he was safely
on board the Mariposa prior to
rendering his swan song:
BY TUsITUsI.
Oh lend to me the sweetest notes
That music can command.
Such music as at evening floats
In sweetness from loves land.
That / may sing sweet brunette;
A diamond spark, in coral set,
A gem too pure for coronet,
Sweet daughter of Hawaii.
With brilliance Of the morning star,
The evening star as tender,
The light of both is in thy eyes
Their softDess and their splendour.
But for the lash that shades their
light;
They are too dazzling for the sight
And when you shut them all is
night.
Sweet daughter OF Hawaii
Oh our bright aud beauteous girl,
Bewildering and beguiling,
There's music in thy silver voice,
The rainbow in thy smiling,
Thy step is grace on hill aud dale,
The bounding of the young gazelle,
The arrows flight, the oceans swell.
Sweet daughter of Hawaii.
Aud though perchance we meet no
more,
Alas too soon to sever.
Thy form will float like emerald
Before my vision ever.
For who can see thee and forget
The glories of so sweet brunette
Thou art too bright stone to set.
Sweet daughter of Hawaii.
Oh that the years now past and gone
Were once more mine again,
We'd stand in youth and grace, and
form
A perfect pair to meet the storm
OF life, with all it's changes.
But as it is, farewell sweet star
The brightest, sweetest, near or far,
The jewel OF thy sun called La.
Sweet daughter of Hawaii.

We referred a few days ago to the
trouble at Eva Plantation between
Mr.. A. M. Gonsalves of this city and
certain police officers and employees
OF the plantation. The case against
Gonsalves has been partly heard and
will be taken up again on Thursday
next before the Eva Judge. A police
officer and luna have in the mean
time been arrested on warrants
sworn to by Mr.. Gonsalves. A num-
ber of witnesses from both sides
have been subpenasd. We are now
told that two witnesses for Mr.. Con
salves in the employ OF Mr.. Lowrie
have been discharged from the
plantation. They are Portuguese
"free" laborers and have worked for
several years at Eva aud are both
supporters OF families. Mr.. Lowrie
as a matter of course did not "fre"
the men because they were called as
witnesses in the Gonsalves case. Oh
mol he knows better than that, The
services OF the men we're simply not
wanted because Eva plantation has
too many laborers. Now for another
batch of Japs, or Chinese.

Our wandering diplomats had a

There is no doubt that the op-
position to the annexation policy in
this country is far stronger, numeric-
ally, financially and politically than
the annexationists. 1t is useless and
even dangerous for the people who
believe in preserving the indepen-
dence of Hawaii to depend on their
strength and leave the other side
the whole field of agitating and
manipulating. The annexationists
are entitled to their faith in and
policy Of annexation. We are equal
ly right in asserting our opinions
and ideas contrary to the policy Of
the Stevens ring. The difference is,
however, that the annexation crowd
have organized and have girthed
their loins to solid work while their
opponents founder about in an un-
certain, Indifferent manner, depend
ing greatly on their supposed in
huence and wealth when the last
moment comes.

The idiotic rumor that ex-Presi-
dent Harrison will be sent to Hawaii
as the representative of President
Mckinley, is at par with the yarns
daily produced by the Annexation
Club and its semi. official organ. AS
Minister to Hawaii Harrison would
receive about $1,000 a year His in
come as a lawyer in the United
States is estimated at between $780,
600 and $150,0O0. Even Saiut Peter
OF Waikane will doubt the possi-
bility of any man accepting such a
financial loss.

j. B. Castle, our "dear" 1888 t3-
100 a month"; Collector General has
been located at last. He has par
taken in a free lunch with tie
Cooper Hatch combination in Il o
hub OF the universe. The lunch was
furnished by the "mare" Of Boston
at the expense OF the cultivated citi-
zens of that town. And yet there
are people foolish enough to expect
that Castle and Cooper will ever re-
turn to Hawaii as long as free
lunches are the order OF the day.
Christmas is drawing near, aud a
general good feeling towards our
fellow men should reign supreme in
this most Christian community.

season for our President and the no.

Council Of State to grant pardons
to such persons who have sinned,
and been punished and repented.
We had hoped that Thanksgiving
Day would have offered an oppor-
tupity to Mr. Dole and his noble
councillors to show mercy to all po-
litical prisoners now at liberty on
parole, and TO other prisoners who,
however guilty, deserve more pity
than punishment, With the pros
pect Of gaining his point in the near
future = annexation - according to
the official organ, Mr.. Dole and his
noble councillors can we'll afford to
be merciful. Let Christmas then be
the occasion.

AGAINST PITCHFORK BEN.
Invitation TO Tillman TO Address Demo-
cratic Convention Resented.

DENVER, April 1.-The action of the
Democratic State Central committee in
inviting Senator Tillman to address the
State convention has called forth a most
scathing rebuke from General A. l.. New,
collector of internal revenue and one OF
the most prominent Democrats OF the
West. General New characteriZes the con-
vention which is called for April l5, as
that of the Tillmanites. "The Demo-
Gratis of the West or Of any other part OF
the country" said General New, "need
no advice from Mr.. 1illman or from any
other person who comes from outside the
ranks of the party
General New further stated that in his
opinion no true Democrat will participate
in the deliberations of the convention to
be addressed by Mr.. Tillman.
