/ The horses were hitched in pairs o the
ends Of long poles or sweeps and trav-
eled round in a circle. IN the center of
which was gearing On top of that
there was platform. The driver stood
on this platform and managed the
horses with whip that had a long lash
and a short hickory stock The drivers
used to get so expert with their whips
that they could take fly off the ear Of
any one of the horses without touching
the ear Fact. sir. horse power drivers
were as good masters of the whip as
ever Mexican mule drivers were, and

driver either. You had to hold back
the eager teams and keep the lazy ones

all kept going at good even gait so
as to give the machine steady motion.

right through the barn and set it afire

Extracts from an Address Issued by
American Patriotic Societies.
We have been favored with pamph-
let containing IAN Address, By the
Hawaiian Branch of the Sons of The
American Revolution, Sons Of Vet
Grams and the Grand Army of the Re-
public, to Their Compatriots in Amer
lea, Concerning the Annexation of Ia
wall"
Each of the organizations named has
from 40 to so members in Hawaii, and
the address is the joint work of these
societies,
These islands," says the address
ARE the meeting place of the east and
the west, of the American and the
Asiatic forms of civilization, and few
years will witness the triumph Of one
or the other. Few of our countrymen
are aware of the rapid changes taking
place in the condition of the Pacific
ocean. Australia is becoming mighty
commonwealth; Japan is pushing her
way to the front as naval and CONNER
cial power; China is beginning to
awake out of her long sleep, while Rus
STA only waits the near completion OF
the trans-Siberian railroad to compete
for the control of this ocean
1.-THE commercial position of the islands
is unique and important, standing as
they do at the crossroads of the Pa
ship lines from Australia to San Fran
cisco and to Vancouver. ana from San
Francisco to Japan and China. The
opening of the Nicaragua canal and
the completion of the Siberian railroad
will add immensely to the Importance
of these islands as a coaling station
and distrlbutive point for commerce.
Nor can they be passed by in any
scheme for laying of telegraph cables
across the Pacific.
1--WE have now arrived ut turning
point, where things will not long re-
main as they are. The irrepressiblecon-
test between the Asiatic and American
civilizations is becoming more intense,
and will not be decided in favor OF
America except by annexation.
Japan is quietly pouring in her peo-
pie for the purpose of making peace
full conquest of the islands. We can
restrict or exclude Chinese immigra-
ton, for we have no treaty with China,
but unfortunately, our treaty with
japan contains the favored nation
clause, and under its provisions we cam
not prevent her people from coming as
free immigrants. Five immigration
companiesare at work with their agents
in japan, who resort TO every ariiiice
to drum up recruits and to evade our
immigration laws" Military Gazette.
