WORK OF GOD
An Aged Hawaiian i'rices Course
of Island s:vSafs.

An Aged Hawaiian Traces Course
of Island s.vSals.
An elderly man, a native Hawaiian,
white haired by age, was asked by a
committee of his countrymen to sign
paper protesting against the annexa>
ton of Hawaii to the United States.
Daniel said, Il cannot do it, because l
believe the overthrow of the Monarchy
is the work of God. The United States
have been our foster-mother, and now
that the Monarchy is gone, l want Ha>
waii to go nearer to her great friend"
When asked why he thought the
overthrow of the Monarchy was the
work of God, Daniel replied: God
sent the missionaries here to plant
Christianity in this land. They did
their work. knowledge and Christian
civilization have spread in this land.
Then the Monarchy passed into the line
OF Kalakaua, he (Kalakaua) set him.
self to turn the people back into Idol
airy. He organized the Naua society,
which is a society for the promotion of
heathenish practices. He put the guild
ance of affairs into hands of bad men.
Then we the missionaries and their
works, recoiled on every side. l said
within myself then God will not per,
NIT this to continue. Then came the
Revolution of 1887, and l said this Is
Gods warning to us and our chiefs.
They did not hear the warning Kala-
kaua died, and his sister took the
throne, but instead of taking warning
from the evil deeds of her brother, she
followed in his steps. She gathered
bad people around her, and she wanted
to deliver over this land into the hands
of a set of gamblers. Then came the
end. And when they told me on the
18th of January that the Monarchy
was overthrow, I said it is the work
Of the Lord, and it is because the
Monarchy had set itself against Him.
I believe that it is Gods will that no
such Monarchy should exist here and
so 1 cannot sign a petition for the re-
storation Of that which I believe God
has removed"

Queens Hospital Report.

The report of the Superintendent of
the Queens Hospital for the bienniel
period ending June 80, 1897, has just
been printed by the Trustees. During
the two years, 1859 patients have been
treated. They represent % different
nationalities treated for an aggregate
number of 10 diseases. The total of
1928 deaths gives percentage of about
9.41. Out of the total number, 703 were
pay patients. From them was collect
ed $21, 357.25. The current expenses
for the same period were $50 ,551 .92.
Three endowed beds have been occu-
pied during the whole period, and one,
the Fannie M. Irwin bed, since Febru-

have been completed to afford better
facilities for carrying on the work.

HOW liiEY VOTED.
Van Wyck's Plurality Over Low
Is Large.

Is Large.
Late papers give the following fig
ures of the election for Mayor of New
York: In Greater New York Van
Wyck polled 233,752 votes, Low 146,S21,
Tracy 1OO,99S; George 2O,386 and Glea-
son 1000 Van Wyck's plurality over
Low is 86,931, and Lows plurality over
Tracy is 45,823.
The combined vote of Low and Tracy
in Greater New York is 14,O67 greater
than Van Wyck's vote, showing that
Van Wyck would have been beaten had
the Republicans and Citizens Union
combined. In the boroughs of Manhat-
tan and the Bronx, the present New
York city, Van Wyck has plurality OF
1917 over the combined Low and Tracy
vote,

The n. Y. Tribune says that Mr..
Hoshi, the Japanese Minister, returned
to japan in order to confer with his
Government. He left all of his person
al effects in Washington, and it is un-
derstood at the State Department that
he will return. His relations with the
Department are extremely harmonious,
and his own Government will keep
him at his post.

SENATOR MORGAN.

Senator Morgan's statement that
the Islands ought to be admitted as a
State, creates some discussion in the
American papers, and, We learn, that
in Washington, it is feared that it may
raise an unnecessary issue.
If the Senator presses his PROPOSE
ton it is feared that it may provoke a
partisan debate, and force to the front
the disturbing question, as to which Of
the national parties will dominate here
in the event of annexation with State
hood, or the prospect of speedy State
hood. The prospect of the election of
two Senators by newly admitted State
is more and more significant as the
United States increase in numbers and
new parties arise.
As it is, it is impossible to predict
which national party dominates here,
because there has been no occasion for
a test. An issue of this kind might
emabrrass the action of the Senate on
the treaty.
Senator Morgan frankly says, the
people West of the Mississippi should
have more political power, and Hawai-
ian Statehood would increase it. This
of course can be done only by securing
more Senators.
Senator Morgan's views are not fixed
OF this point, however, and he will do
nothing to prevent the quick rati-
fication of the treaty. His statements
are made mainly to assure the natives
that they, their liberties and rights
will not be disturbed by annexation.
The Denver Republican presents in
this connection, a novel theory Of gov
eminent. 1t insists that the Federal
power is now too centralized and that
there is danger in it. 1t believes that
this tendency to seize or increase
power can be checked only by retain
ing the real power at a distance from
the seat of government. It, therefore,
believes that the annexation of Ha-
wall will be one of many forces which
will decentralize the government. The
oesire of the Republican is, as it is
with many Western men, to overcome
the Inertia or conversation of the
Middle and Eastern States. 1t does not

TIMELY TOPICS

NOVEMBER II, 1897.
RHRGT,hRC Are having
OONuAnAO quite a good
time in Honolulu just now.
So accustomed are we to
take up a daily paper and find
an account of another "Dar-
ing Robbery" that it is quite
Ia disappointment after care
fully going through the news
of the day to find no mention
of the usual crime.
Just who is responsible
for this state of things is an
open question. 1t is all very
we'll to throw reason to the
winds and accuse our police
force of incapacity, ETC., but
the true cause is to be found
nearer home. There are
many persons who would
not think of a criminal act,
were temptation not placed
in their way by the incau-
tious acts of many of our
citizens. ValuableS are al
lowed to lie about in all
places and at all times, and
no care whatever is taken to
secure them from curious
eyes.
The true remedy is in a
nutshell--or rather in a Safe.
The old excuse Of too ex-
pensive" does not hold now
a-days. We carry a selection
of safes made by the first
manufacturers in the United
States in no less than 6 sizes,
from the SIS "Baby" to pre-
serve the family jewels,
books, ETC., to the largest office
safe. All sizes are equally
we'll made. strong and beau
tiful.
No one can afford to be
without one--a safeguard
alike from fire and the enter
prising burglar.

Chicago Live Stock.

Union Stock Yards, ILL.,, Feb. g.
Despite the limited receipts, prices are
ruling very low for most of the cattle
arriving here. 1t would seem that with
corn in Iowa and Nebraska selling at
10@12 cents per bushel the owners OF
cattle would hold their stock until
they are well matured, thus getting a
fair price for their corn; but such is
not the case. The need of ready money
no doubt actuates farmers in sending
forward stock that is half fat. Today's
receipts were moderate and prices
about steady.
Supplies of hogs are increasing and
prices of that animal continue on the
down grade. About 5000 head were
carried over from yesterday into to-
days market, and with a run of about
$1,000, trade dragged at a further re-
duction of 5 cents. The usual light
Tuesday shipping demand and the lack
of competition enabled packers to die
tate terms. The receipts of sheep and
lambs were only about 10000 but that
