Permeated by the spirit of Porpora's musie,h he
has dreamed Armida's air, has wri item it down
on awakening, and sings il, to the amazeme nj
and delight of the old composer and the di-
rector. This is the whole story not particu-
larly effective but 1t serves a vehicle for
the music The opera was composed by Stgnor

Antonio Cipollini, and contains some pretty
music. A tuneful gavot, heard in the prelude,

LAEOR AGAINST ANNEXATION.

THE annexaonists severely set back by the action
of the American Federation of Labor at Nashville. The
CALL has secured wide understanding of this very grave
ISSUE and the facts have submitted have made deeper
impression their investigation has proceeded.
When it is fairly understood that the tropical productions
of Hawaii require form of labor and widely differ
ing from the United States it is that
labor system extended there extension of the laws
which safeguard the agricultural industries of the Islands
must entirely and their commercial Importance will end
If those industries continue it must be by setting
law for the islands and another for the rest of the
Union The planters expect this latter policy and they
have the craft enap into annexation they expect with
confidence that commercial classes rather than poduc
ton and the profits of trade die will be their allies in such
legislation will give the plantations the benefit of the
cheapest labor paid scale that goes with the lowest
standard of living possible to the tropics.
The way prevent this the emergency
by defeating annexation This is entirely understood by the
intelligent labOrng people of the country whose will is just
expressed by their representatives at Nashville
scarcely less important action that taken at the
time by the Federated Trades of Sacramento, denying
that Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald represents the labor of
this State in his lobbying mission to Washington.
These expressions timely and is national for
the Nashville convention national body representing
parts of the Union the press and politicians must consd the
weight added by these declarations the previously recorded
expressions many oranges and many respectable commercial
bodies.
Eastern sentiment we'll crystallized around the deter
mnaon that this country against its individual
policy and traditions and that interests less than those
of Hawaii require the separate political autonomy of EACH
France and England already and for many years have
been bound by treaty guaranteeing, far they
cerned the independence of Hawaii Our attitude heretofore
has practically made party to that convention.
