Writing by Cave Dwellers.

A discovery of unusual interest-in
deed. one might say of nearly the
greatest Importance that has been
made for many years in the domain of
anthropology-has latterly been ans
nounced by Nj. Ed Piette, and consists
In the finding, in the cave of Mas
d'Azil. in the departments of Ariege.
France, a layer of pebbles of unques-
tionably neothlithic age, in which many
of the surfaces are painted in various
devices with the peroXyd of iron. says
an exchange. In these markings there
appears to be almost unquestionable
evidence of the existence of an alpha
bette language. and it is even surmised
that some of the markings may even
indicate entirely conventionalized pho
netic characters. The pebbles in ques-
tion are mostly rounded or tlattened
stones of quartz or schist from the
river Arise, and overlie Il deposit con-
tanning the bones of various large quad
rupeds-reindcer. aurochS, horses. etc.
while above them rests a mixed lay
er. in the upper portion of which are
found polished stone axes.
In some cases the entire surface of
the pebbles is colored, but more fire.
quently the stones are marked on one
or both sides with simple devices-dots,
bars and graphic" or combination
characters. while occasionally border
forms part of the decorate These
various devices are classified by NJ
Petite in four categories: Numerals,
symbols, Photographic signs and alpha
betical characters. Most of the spots
and bars are ingeniously reasoned out
to be numerical characters, those of the
first series (spots) being considered to
be units of the higher groups of fig
ures, and those of the second (the bars)
to represent simple numerals. In the
Photographic signs NJ. Petite believes
to have found the transcription of nat
ural objects. such as serpents. trees
reeds, etc. Assuming the alphabetical
signs to be properly interpreted in their
leaning. e., to be syllable in their
construction-the question Is raised {:
Can it be possible that these pebbles
were employed in building up words
and sentences, much as children use
boxes of letters? However conclusive
or inconclusive may be NJ. Piettes in
depreciation of his finds, their discov-
cry will doubtless tend 10 warm up the
zeal of anthropologists in the direction
of. the new and most instructive field
of investigation which has been opened
up to them.

NOT PERTINENT TO THE ISSUE

The INDEPENDENT acknowledges
receipt, with thanks, of the brief Of
Hon. w. r. Castle, ex-Hawaian
Minister to Washington, containing
q brief digest and index of the var-
Gus annexations OF Foreign Terri.
tory made by the United States of
America. The cases cited can
scarcely bear on the Hawaiian ques-
tion directly, as the States annexed
were all within the continental
limits OF the United States, and Ha-
waii is only within the american
SYSTEM sentimentally, and no more
80 practically than it is in the
canadian SYSTEM" and further in
the instances cited the local govern
ments and the people were united
on the subject, unless the terrific
ries were acquired by purchase on
conquest; and in Hawaii success
full revolutionary government is
coercing an unwilling psople into
sacrificing their birthright and ma
tional autonomy. Test this question
by a plebiscite, for the Hawaiian
Republic has mo right to sell this
territory, and it has not yet been
conquered by the United States.

PUBLIC DUTY IS PUBLIC TRU ST.

So says Mr.. Cleveland Not so,
however, thinks the morning advo-
cate OF annexation to the United
States. In the United States and
perhaps some other countries the
antiquated idea may linger that pa
triotism should be the incentive to
public service. The 2. G. Advertiser
thinks no such thing; the object
should be to get the biggest pay
possible and then-get out of poll
tics and give some one else chance,
accordingly the P. G. A. says; "Mr.
Cleveland is still in politics., Il T.
Notwithstanding his two terms as
chief executive, his ambition is not
satisfied and never will be y
and the future historian will speak
of him as a man who didn't know
when he had had enough" There
are lands yet in which statesmen
live for their country, and die some
times in harness, not believing that
they have done enough as long as
life holds; but for this kind Of pa
triotism the Advertiser has no use.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE.

Mr.. Armstrong succeeded in writ
ing very readable letter to the
Advertiser about Hawaiian affairs
in Washington. He has discern
msnt enough to separate the COM
mercial and political arguments put
forward by Mr.. Dole's corps of
special attorneys, who harass Sena-
tors and Representatives about our
treaty OF reciprocity in particular,
and annexation incidentally, until
forbearance has almost ceased to be
ayirtue. The Congress of the Unit
ed States is confronted by problem
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-05-19

which, compared to Hawaiian affairs
is as a mountain to mole hill. The
problem is as old as the human race,
that is, how to raise revenue to meet
expenditures. Unfortunately for
Hawaii this issue finds our treaty in
its way. To impose duty on the
sugar OF Hawaii means to add to the
Treasury OF the United States the
sum OF from seven to eight millions
OF dollars year; a very consider
able sum with which to square re-
ceipts to payments. So much for
one aspect Of the commercial argu
meut, against which the reasoning
OF Hawaii's advocates is powerless.
