When annexation comes by the merit

ALL ARE HAPPY.

Anent the war that has been
waged against Claus Spreckels by
the combined sugar agents The IN
DEPENDENT is pleased to see that Mr..
p. @. Jones, in an interview with
the Star, states that the independ-
ent action OF T. H. Davies e. Co.,
which places the sugar they control
in the hands Of Mr. Spreckels, will
not affect the combination unfavor-
ably. The courtesy with which
Messrs. T. III. Davies e. Co. have
treated Mr.. Spreckels in the trying
negotiations of the past left the way
open for that firm to effect an ar
rangement that will no doubt be
very advantageous to the estates
represented by Z. II. Davies e. Co.
At the same time Mr.. Jones is conf
dent that the agents remaining in
the combination will do better with
their sugar on the open market than
they otherwise could. Thus happily
ends an unfortunate controversy, in
spite of the mouthings aud charges
of bad faith by the fatuent mem
ber Of the combin alton.

is at last a reality and ''not a
dream.' thanks to the energy
and enterprise of Mr.. Desky.
The track is fast approaching
completion, and all will want
to try issues on it. This is
sure to occasion a run on bicy-
cles, and in anticipation Of
such a run we have quietly
laid in a good stock of TRI-
BUNE BICYCLES than
which there is none better in
the market. The TRIBUNE
is now recognized in the
United States as the BEST,
it is the favorite with all the
society people and business
men of San Francisco, and
our own American Minister
rides one. Recent advices
announce a cut in prices OF
lower grade wheels, but the
high grade wheels still sell
readily at the former list price.
We have made better arrange
ments with the manufacturers,
Whereby we are enabled to
sell the Tribune Bicycles at
list price Sl00 and iuvite all
intending purchasers Of wheels
to come and inspect our stock
before going elsewhere. We
have Ladies and Gentlemens'
Road Wheels, Racers and all
models manufactured by the
celebrated Black Manufac-
turing Co. We also carry the
" Columbus" {" Columbus
Juvenile for boys and girls,
"B and H. Special and
"Zimay," which a'e sold ex-
ceedingly cheap.

TOO MUCH GAMBLING.

There has been too much gambl-
ing altogether recently in this city.
Gambling is one of the worst vices
because it leads its victims into
temptation and frequently those
depending on them for bread and
butter into poverty and misery.
Gambling degrades all good sports
and it turns all good and healthy
exercises down to the level of dice
shaking aud the other games of
chance and roguery. Gambling
might find apologists among those
who can afford to lose aud who
know how to lose like gentlemen.
But betting has no right among
poor toilers and laborers who drop
their all on simple card. If there
was no gambling there would be
very little quarrelling and protest
ing on the baseball ground. Can.
not the young men who receive
oL1dll oaldllOo llOui SuOiCS dhh OlhSOS
find something better to do with the
money than losing it to the
other fellow and then probably help
him to blow it in? But what shall
we say about the betting on the
tug of-war? The money lost and
won was not the money Of the
regular gambler or OF the thought
less boys whose motto ought to be
easily got, easily spent. 1t was
money belonging to hard working
men with large families. 1t was in
many instances the savings carefully
boarded in the Savings Bank and it
was in nearly every instance money
regrettable to have lost, and which
they had no right in justice to them
selves and their families to lose. Seven
thousand $4,000 were paid out in
bets from one single Office in this
town. That amount belonged most
ly to poor Portuguese who hoped
to double their earning on game
of chance. And then they were not
good losers. When the wiry foundry
boys won the day, the losers claim
ed fouls and treachery and wanted
to kill their "anchor" or at least
mob him. That poor devil has been
under the police protection all day
and we have had to witness
the threatening gatherings of his
irate countrymen in broad daylight
on the verandah of the Post Office
and outside the very doors OF the
Police Station.
In the Foundry the workingmen
are perhaps in a better position
financially because most OF them
have steady work all the year round.
Manager Hedemen, however, sent
his employees warning word
through the foremen. He ssid, "tell
the men that they should remember
that if they place their wages on
the result of the game and become
losers, those dependent on them at
home will suffer; come out winners
they will most likely go on bust;
and / desire them to know that
while l cannot prevent them from
betting their money, | will have
them understand that apy man not

RICHES REAPED RAPIDLY.

In the early part Of the year 1898,
Mr.. H. E. Cooper was rather un-
known quantity in Honolulu. He
was to be found in small Office on
Merchant street where he posed as
the manager Of the Abstract Title
Company. All that was known
about him was, that he had been in
the real estate business in San Diego
and was some kind of lawyer

Mr.. Cooper was not supposed to
have any wealth at the time, but he
was considered a man who attended
strictly to business. The Abstract
Company was not financial sue
cess, however, and Mr.. Cooper
searched not for titles alone but for
other sources of revenue. He soon
found a field open to his ambitious
designs, and he joined the con-
spirators who were being worked
by j. l.. Stevens at that time, in the
interest Of the "ripe pear" which
the jingoes desired to devour.

The conspirators who had a

Cooper to read the proclamation,
which overturned the Hawaiian
legitimate government. He did SO
under the protection of the United
States forces and he became entitled
to his reward.

The obscure San Diego lawyer,
whose wealth at the time was not
located, became prominent man
and very shortly covered his
shoulders with the ermine OF Cir
cult Judge, with salary of about
$4,000 year. He was not very long
on the Bench but exchan red his
position with that OF a Cabinet Min
lister, holding the Foreign Office
portefolio with a salary of about
$4800 a year. Mr.. Cooper still holds
the position and it is not difficult to
figure up what he has made legiti-
mately since his arrival here, and
also what his expenses must have
been. There surely cannot have
been any great saving of money out
OF his salary.
In Hawaii, however, government
officials become rich very rapidly
and Mr.. cooper is no exception.
His lands in Manoa valley will
shortly have the benefit Of perfect
water supply from government pipes
and while the large tracts of resi-
dence lots at Kapiolani Park are
lying idle owing to want of water,
the Government has seen its way to
carry water to the Cooper land at
Manoa.
That part OF his "oficial" reward
having been accomplished Mr..
Cooper saw the necessity of putting
up mansion, and being a classical
virtuous man he according to the
Star, decided to have erected at
Manoa a baronial mansion in the
Roman style.

The zssh Anniversary.

On Monday, April Goth, 1897,
denoted the 18th Anniversary of
Odd Fellowship in America, but
the origin of this Order can be
traced back to Scotland, on May
9TH, 1857. The 18th Anniver-
sary was observed in Challis by
Custer Lodge No. 81, and assist
ed by the other branches of the
Order. The day was pleasant
and many of the triple-link boys
from the adjacent camps were
present besides the spectators.
The usual parade was done away
with, but the exercises held in
the hall were very good. DR.. L.
p. Jacobsen was the orator OF
the day, and he made an able
off hand speech. which brought
out much applause. He spoke
of the Rebekah branch and the
women in general in glowing
terms, and received much APP
plause from this side of the house.
At night a ball was held in the
hall under the auspices of the
Order, and it was largely attend
ed. and a good time reported. A
fine banquer was given at the
Challis Hotel by Mrs. Elder.
