sionaries lief" In answer to this
question it says:
ga dispatch from Honolulu per
steamer Miowsrs, says: The con-
dition of affairs is very threatening,
and popular outbreak may occur
at any time, when international in
reference from ships in the harbor
would occasion complication
"Why should there be popular
outbreak in Honolulu Against
what or whom2 Not surely against
the benevolent Christian and mis-
sionary gentlemen who have erected
the so-called republic there7 But
why should there be popular out
break against them2 Are they not
engaged in bringing about annex
alton to the United States-an end
which is said to be dear to the Ha.
waiian heart7 Is SO, why should
there be popular outbreak Can
it be possible that the Hawaiians do
not desire annexation? And can it
also be possible that these bene-
VIOLENT Christian and missionary
gentlemen were lying when they
said so2"

Any warning however will be dis
regarded by the gold seeking
hordes. If Hawai-nei has to add a
contingent to the skeletons which
eventually will fertilize Alaska's soil,
do, please, take Ministers Cooper
and Owen-Smith along. They are
getting used to the frosty stare and
the marble heart.

Queen Victoria, while at Balmoral

living near. On leaving Her Majes-
ty said to the old lady who had

you will now no longer be afraid of

me visit" "Ah, ma'am," replied
the old dame, otis them grand SER

The Senator makes several state
ments which are as bold as they are
incorrect. He describes the irrita-
tion of Japan from not being allow
ed to annex these islands and says:
"The loss of this opportunity, which
Japan expected to secure through
the process of emigration, by smoth-
ering out the native population Of
Hawaii has caused her an irritation
that is surprising to us only we have
not readily perceived, as she has
done, the vast benefits to her COM
merce of this acquisition of territory
on the highway Of the North
Pacific"

Senator Morgan is expected to ar

blockaded in, but why it should be
supposed that any sea power should
be anxious to put navy into the
Hawaiian "barrel' and then feel
comforted by being outside their
own barrel with the gold is beyond
comprehension "If we will draw
our outer circle from Altu through
Hawaii to the Mexican border, our
frontier will be stronger and safer
than it can be as it is now establish
ed. Hawaii is our true Pacific from
tier to the Southwest as Altu is 10
the Northwest" The Senator's
geographical ideas are somewhat

QUIZ AERMOTORS

have won the palm for ex-
cellence throughout the whole
Hawaiian group. They are
found everywhere, and every
where approved. Their sales
exceed those of all other wind
mills combined. And why?
Because, not only will they
run when ALL OTHER
WINDMILLS STAND
STILL, but they require less
care and attention than any
others, being simpler and
more complete and perfect in
their construction. Ministers
Cooper and Damon are both
satisfied with them, and so is
Paul Isenberg whose pump
forces water 40, 900 feet to an
elevation of 100 feet. We
have both the pumping and
GEARING AERMOTORS.
The latter will save you horse
power and engine for grind
ing grain, cutting feed, saw
ing wood and thousand and
one other necessities on a
ranch or plantation. In con-
nection with these marvellous
mills we carry Goulds and
Krough's TRIPLE ACTING
FOkCE PUMPS, Syphon
pumps and other pumps es-
pecially adapted for Aermo-
tors. Also patent WATER
TANKS in sizes of 500,
1000, 1000, 1000, 5000 and
10000 gallons. The Aermo-
tor is victorious everywhere.

As the town is ringing with mirth

pay each inhabitant of the Hawaiian
Islands, men, women and children,
Asistics included, $40 a head to

lish the article in order to give it the

SENATOR MORGAN ON ANNEX
ALTON.

Senator Morgan has written an
article on the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands in the tone which
naturally would be expected from
one of the most fauatic jingoes in
the United States.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-21

We are, however, to be annex.
ed not only on account of the Japa-
nese bugaboo, or to secure safer
frontier line. Mol We are to be an
nexed in the name of Christianity.
"Those islands," says the virtuous
Senator, "are dedicated to Christi
anity and constitutional liberty un-
der our guardianship upon the invi-
tation Of the people and we have no
option to renounce the trust" If
the stealing OF country is Christi
anity then we have indeed been
dedicated to it, and If constitutional
liberty means depriving people of
self-government, nation Of its
autonomy, then we have got all the
constitutional liberty" we desire.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-08-21

Judging from that language the
Senator must be laboring under the
erroneous impression that the pres
ence in Hawaii OF the large number
OF Japanese laborers is due to the
Japanese Government and not to
the Hawaiian people. The fact is
that it was from this end that all
the overtures were made to secure
Japanese emigration. The benefit
to be obtained by the emigration of
Japanese falls on these islands,
not on Japan. 1t is true that
the Japanese Government made
no obstacles to the emigration
Of plantation laborers. Owing to
her very large population and com
paratively small area, it is nat
ural that Japan looks favorable on
emigration to any country where
there is a guarantee that the emil
grants will be treated decently and
enjoy the same rights as other for
eigners. But there is no truth that
the emigration to Hawaii took place
at the instigation OF Japan for some
wicked object. 1t was simply the
result of the selfish policy of the
Hawaiian sugar barons, who all want
cheap labor.

Where Senator Morgan gets espe-
cially interesting is, when he must
have Hawaii as a strategic point to
protect the Pacific Coast about 2250
miles away from us, He says: "Ho-
nolulu is the central point, and is,
therefore, the strategic point from
which our coast can be better de-
Tended by sea than it could be from
a fortress at every seaport we have
on the Pacific. 1t requires no scien-
tific knowledge to understand this
any more than it requires such learn
ing to understand that a man can
not 30 we'll defend his gold when he
is shut up with it in barrel as he
can from the outside" We cannot
follow Mr.. Morgan in his reasoning,

Although the Hawaiians are said
to be managing their projects for a
mass meeting against annexation en-
tirely by themselves, it is under
stood that will hold one after the

Ii goes without saying that tho
whole Japanese Hawaiian question
was worked up for the purpose of
precipitating annexation. So far
the scheme has failed of it's purpose,
and it is~to be hoped that Japanese

OF course the comment of Charles

apply to "the best government Ha-

Town of MedOra Nearly Washed
Away and Tracks Gone.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind. March 10.-The most
stricken town by the great food is Medora,
a town of four hundred inhabitants
eighteen miles west of this city on the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. The en-
tire town is submerged and the people were
compelled to flee to the mills in order 10
save their lives. The town is on level
and not a house spared by the flood.
Every merchant in the town has sustained
heavy loss and wealthy farmer named
Henry Zollmann lost sixty head of fat cat
tie. which were carried down the stream.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
has reached Medora in making repairs and
finds two miles of track washed out. The
roadbed is washed out twenty feet deep I'm
several places. No repairs can be made
there until the water recedes and II Will be
two or three days before trains can be
handled between Seymour and Mitchell.
The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Rail-
road is very unfortunate in getting It's
roadbed in shape for the running OF
through trains. Last night false work
erected to place an iron bridge at Dills-
boro was washed out and the work OF re-
placing the structure is retarded. The pas
senger and freight depot of the company
at Fort Ritner was burned TO the ground
Monday night adding an additional loss of
$500. Owing TO the inability OF the company
to run trains all of the yard and round
house employees have been laid off.
