dear father, come hon

Father, dear father, come home
to me now, for ma has some carpets to
beat, she's got all the furniture out in
the yard from the front porch clear
down to the street. The stove must
come down and be put in the shed, and
the yard must be cleared of dead grass,
for it's time to clean house and the
DEVILS to pay, and the front window
needs some new glass. Father, dear
father, come home with me now, and
bring some bologna and cheese, it's
most twelve o'clock and nothing to eat
Pm so hungry Pm weak in the knees.
All the dinner will be old scraps and
such, and we'll have to eat standing
up, too; for the table and chairs are all
out in the yard; Oh, l wish that house
cleaning was through. Oh father, dear
father come home with me now, for
ma is mad as Turk; she says you're
lazy old thing and she proposes to
put you to work. There's painting to
do and paper to hang, and windows and
castings to scrub, for its house cleaning
time and you've got to go home and
revel i'm suds and cold grub. "-Er.
The home newspaper may charge
you few cents more for your job
printing than the city offices charge
and at the same time give you two
dollar local advertisements free of
charge. That's one thing a newspaper
likes to do-advertise its patrons, even
though the editor knows he is giving
away much more than he gets back,
but somehow or other he can't for the
life of him get up the courage to give
free puffs to concerns that send all their
job printing away, never advertise in
the home paper, and sometimes do not
even subscribe. A newspaper is one of
those reciprocal institutions which
never fails to help those who help it.

NATIVES AND INDIANS.

We have been told repeatedly of late
that the natives here, and in the other
Islands still believe that annexation
brings for them the treatment of the
Indian. We are also asked if the Amer
lean people have treated the Indians
with perpetual inhumanity. It does not
show any unusual ignorance on the
part OF the native if he does believe
that ne will be so treated. His haole
brother here will circulate and believe
the most idle tales. Prejudice and su-
perstition is the rule OF the average
thought Only yesterday we heard an
intelligent man say positively that
Great Britain had her eye on these
Islands" We have just read from
page XXI Of Senator Morgan's re-
port 10 the Senate that Lord Palmer
ston lin 1850 said to Prince Alexan-
der and Lot Kamehameha that the
British Government desired the Hawai-
ian people TO maintain proper govern
ment and preserve national indepen-
denee. If they were unable TO do so he
recommended receiving a Protectorate
Government under the United States.
or by becoming an integral part of that
nation
II lot Of our people believe that
Lord Palmerston did not tell the truth,
is the native to be blamed if he does
not believe the statement that in no
sense whatever viii he be regarded
by the people Of America as a person
to be treated as the Indian is treated?
The difficulty is. in explaining this
to the native mind, if it has any real
conviction on the subject. 1t should
be sufficient for him to know that men
from the very people who have treated
the Indians badly, settled here and pro-
tected the natives, as no weaker race
was ever protected, so far as the en-
foreement Of just laws could do it.
The native was not shrewd enough TO
establish. in the early days, immigra-
ton laws which would have checked OF
stopped the incoming Of an "undesir-
able white population, and he took his

to everybody.
This just treatment OF the natives
should be absolutely convincing to
him that his case is in no respect what
ever. the case Of the Indian.
The inhuman treatment of the In
dian by the American. detailed in "A
Century OF Dishonor." by Helen Hunt
jackson. is true. Disgraceful as It was,
and calling for the vengeance of God, -
as Henry Ward Beecher said, it could
be excused on only one ground. that
the people generally were wilfully mis-
informed of the facts. The white"
Press stated that the Indian, without
provocation, massacred men, women
and children, and wantonly destroyed
property. The Indian had no friend.
no Press TO defend him. Only the army
officer saw the injustice done to him.
His voice was not heard. An angry
people consented in Congress 10 every
kind Of cruel and dishonorable treat
ment, in the belief that the Indian was
a wild beast.
The native should know that since
the education of the Indian was be-
gun at Hampton, Va. by one OF their
own countrymen. in 1879, and followed
by the great schools at Carlysle and
other places, public sentiment has
greatly changed.
II should interest them TO know that

who is the most active friend the In
dian has before the American public,
has within month taken up the mat
ter Of the effect OF annexation upon
the Hawaiian.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-09-17
THE PLATFORM.

The convention OF the delegates of
the American Union party adopts a
Platform which contains many excel
lent principles or policies. 1t natural
ly makes annexation che leading prin-
ciple. 1t could not do otherwise. So
far as this Government is concerned.
annexation is accomplished. But before
ratification by the American Senate is
done, there is need Of the utmost vigil
anee, that nothing should be undone
here, by accident or design, which may
prevent the American ratification.
In approving the conduct of the
Government in its administration of
the laws, it does what every unpreju-
diced man here ought TO do. Even
those bitterly opposed to the creation
of the Republic must approve, because
it is not an opinion, but fact that few
Governments. if, indeed, any, have
been as wisely carried on.
The fourth principle is one which
