Timely Topics,
Honolulu. Jan. 1S, 1896.

The prophets are at work.
The public is told one day that
if we don't get annexed to the
United States the Hawaiian Isl
ands will 60 to the "demnition
bow-wow," and next day another
prophet arises and tells us that
we cannot get annexation under
any circumstances and that the
outlook for the abrogation of the
Reciprocity treaty is good.
While listening to these dire
prophecies we notice that the
world moves on and that the
people plod along as usual and
give and take into marriage and
perform other acts Of routine.
1t is well, however, to be pre-
pared for the worst and all pru-
dent people should now exercise
the greatest economy in house
hold affairs. The parson, the
ring and brides gown are not
all that is necessary to establish
household Other things arc
wanted in Kitchen and Pantry.
Call at our stores and select your
kitchen furnitures which we
furnish at cheap prices and in
great variety. To-day we make
special mention of the GEM
ICE SHAVERS. These handy
implements will be found very
economical. Instead of breaking
the ice and wasting it, the shaver
will scrape the quantity you
want from the block in an easy
and convenient manner.
The Fish Scaler should also
be found in every kitchen. 1t
saves labor and takes the scales
off fish as easy and cleanly as
a barber takes the hair off your
husbands chin.
A call at our stores will con-
vince you Of Nthe wisdom in
buying from us.

diet in favor of Cranstoun is against
the Canadian Australian Steamship
Company. 1t may also be true that
tho agents of that Company took
the word OF the Hawaiian Govern
ment instead Of its bond. But it
cannot be denied that if Mr.. Dole or
his Attorney-General try to sneak
out of their responsibility they
thereby cover this country with con-
tempt and contumacy. No honest
man or nation ever despised or dis
credited those who commit and later
on admit an error. Dig Mr.. Dole

A prominent official was seen this
morning in'regard 10 Paul's new isl
and. He stated that the Govern
ment here had about all the islands
that conveniently could be- attended
to at present. When a quetus has
been placed on our Hio friends, the
Government might look around for
more territory, but islands under the
special care of Neumann aud Freeth
would not have any preference. In
fact the Executive was at present
too busy finding sufficient money
wherewith to pay salaries to enter
into any exploring ventures. Ac-
cording to recent maps and the rec.
ords OF the weather bureau, there
are no stray islands lying around in
the Pacific. If Mr. Neumann really
claimed having found one, he was
probably "lying" for the benefit Of
the Star reporter.

The grand military annexation
mass Meeting has been abandoned
Authorities" of the highest stand
ing have given Towse the marble
heart And now Hawaii will have
to get along without military show.
Is it possible that the Government
missionaries object to outside inter
ference in running this country, or
is it possible that the great and
good men who attend to Dole's best
government are not sincere in their
quest for annexation?
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-01-26

Annexationists have staked their
all and that OF "the best government
these islands ever had" on the out
come OF the special session of the
United States Congress to be con-
vened in March. We warn them to
"beware OF the ideS Of March" No
charge for the advice.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-01-26

The INDEPENDENT regrets the fact
that there is no truth in the "new"
island, and that the Star fake has
fallen fiat. We believe in territorial
expansion; we want the Kaimioa
and the rest of the navy to be resur-
rected, and we want the world to
understand that Hawaii is right here
in the Pacific and means to be heard,
and seen, and felt.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-01-26

In little while the campaign of
false hopes, lies and misrepresenta-
tion, and the barter of principles
will have a most abrupt ending. The
cause OF truth and justice must pre-.
vail. No act OF violence or violation
OF right can prevail for long with
out the compensating opposite. The
day will come in Hawaii when every
apostate to the cause OF freedom,
right and justice, every barterer of
his birthright-will view his con-
duct with utter loathing and feel
that he justly merits the contempt
of every one with whom he comes in
contact. He will find that when all
too late that Notwithstanding his
efforts in behalf of his new masters
or any professions he may make,
that they will not trust him. He
will realize that he can never again
find favor with his former friends,
and then in his extremity will he
also realize why the arch-traitor
Judas preferred the end of a rope
to the quiet enjoyment of his ill
gotten gains,

THE FATE OF THE APosTATE.

"So spake the apostate Hawaiian,
though at heart ashamed OF his
perfdy."
"What will ye give me and l will
deliver them unto you9 And they
covsnanted with him for thirty
pieces OF silver"
"And from that time he sought
opportunity to betray hem."
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-01-26

The Advertiser is of the opinion
that something should be done "to
prevent our being footballed around
and finally worked out into the
cold" The trouble has been that
too much has been done, dating
from January, 1893, and the doing
more just now only makes matters
worse. You and your friends, dear
Advertiser, might better take the
people into consideration in plans
for the future. The running of an
oligarchy always entails trial and
tribulation--and large military
establishment. Into the cold you
are bound to go, dear. What is the
matter with this "funny little re-
public2" The Hawaiians are now
saying that Mr., Dole contemplates
putting this island under martial
law again. Is insomnia again play
ing havoc with the conspirators of
January, 1882 Or is the rumor
started to intimidate the natives to
to help the Annexation scheme9
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-01-26

Mr.. Charles Butler in his rem
iniscenses relates a good story of the
manner in which Lord Chatham
fixed on Mr.. Grenville the appella-
tion OF "the Gentle Shepherd" which
We respectfully dedicate to our
esteemed fellow townsman the Min
lister of Finance of this "funny little
republic" with the fullest confidence
! that the people OF Hilo, at least,
will endorse it unanimously. "At
this time," writes Mr.. Butler, "a song
of DR.. Howard, which began with
the words, Gentle shepherd tell me
where, and in which each stanza
ended with that line,-was in every
month. On some occasion, Mr..
Grenville exclaimed: Where is our
w uCIc dtO OuI lltduS9 l.
say again where are our means?
Where is our money? He then sat
down, and Lord Chatham paced
slowly out of the House, humming
the line: Gentle Shepherd tell me
where The effect was irresistible,
and settled forever on Mr., Grenville
the appellation Of the Gentle
Shepherd" When Hawaii's Min
ister of Finance is unable to smile
in response to demands on the
Treasury we would suggest the lines
OF Dr. Howard as most suitable
diversion.

TOPICS, OF THE DAY,

Apropos OF the vast amounts Of
constructive and destructive labors
now in progress by our Bureau Of
Public Works, private individuals
and corporations, no wonder that
Minister King and his associates are
becoming brain weary with their
manifold efforts to create order out
Of chaos. Our dicky bird picked up
the following little scrap OF nonsence
which he says is monotonously
chauted at every Cabinet meeting
whene yer Brother Cooper opens the
fraternal lodge:
Streets, roads and bridges is the
carol that they sing.
Bridges, streets and roads is the
Changing that they ring,
Sempiternally, nocturnally, diurnal
ly quoth King.
And echo answers with laugh,
where is the coin they bring9

In the above quotations the italics
are ours, and are the only words we
found necessary to alter in order 10
make these ancient utterances con-
form to existing conditions to-day
in Hawaii. The apostate is as we'll
known TO this old world we. inhabit
as light and air, and his ultimate
fate has been no less certain. Wha:
is true of the past will be equally
true of the future. He can never be
trusted and least of all by those
whom he betrays. For a present
gain he would sacrifice eternity.
When Hawaiians hear of this or that
compatriot "vaunting aloud his new
born faith" they will remember that,
like Cassius, they
"Are much condemned to have an
itching palm;
To sell and mart their offices for
gold to undeservers."

More Watchrul Than "Towser."

"The place of II watchdog on f.rm
or country place. said S,ate Attorney
Mcclure of EIlicottee City, Md, the
other day, in making some observa.
tons about mad dogs, "might be very
we'll taken by peacocks and guinea
fowls. l have long since adopted
peacocks alone to guard my place, and
nothing can be done around the
premises night or day without causing
an alarm from them. They are more
wa,chful than any dog l ever
owned. My experience with gnineas
Inns not been SO extensive, but l be.
lieve they are also snre to give IN
alarm, or rather good many alarms,
if any strange man or beast should
venture near them by night or day.
Perhaps the days OF the watchdog
would be numbered if it were gener-
ally known how well peacocks and
guinea fowls would take his place.
Then, certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be 80 many cases OF hydro
pho bia."
The statement of Mr.. Mcclure us
to the wntchfulness of pcacocks was
borne out by numerous Howard coun-
ty farmers. among the number being
County Commissioners Hess, Dorsey
and Smith, and James L. Hobbs, who
superiuteuds the farming operations
of Senator German. Mr.. Hobbs
stated TINT he long ago discovered
what excellent protection peacocks af.
ford about place, and down Mt the
senator's farm he keeps six or eight OF
them to guard the premises. SO it
appears peucocks are useful as we'll as
ornamental.
