Winthrop Shot

There has lately been very serious
trouble at st. Quentin, tho famous
official "hotel" of California. The
prisoners have been dissatisfied be-
cause they did not get quail on
toast for breakfast and very seldom
canvass back ducks for dinner. Their
work in the jute mill was painfully
regular, however.
Not being furnished with the de-
sired birds, the jailbirds went on a
strike and declined to work. About
70 ringleaders were locked up in
dark cells and fed on bread aud wa
ter, and mighty little Of those nour-
ishing commodities. Warden Hale,
hale and hearty as he is, insisted in
starving" the strikers into submis-
sion, but it was evidently not an
easy task.
The strikers instead of giving in
planned a revolt which ended in au
open outbreak. Cell doors were
broken down and used as barricades
and chains, balls, aud bricks were
hurled at the guards who finally
we're ordered to shoot. Protected
by the iron doors the obstreporous
prisoners escaped injuries except
Oliver w. Winthrop, the man who
kidnapped Mr.. james Campbell Of
this city and who is serving a life
sentence for that offense. A spent
ball hit him in the chest inficting a
wound which unfortunately is not
considered dangerous.
After firing two volleys the guards
attacked the rioters with clubs and
the fastidious gentlemen of the

road we're soon secured in thei' cells
where thoy continued their mad
bowling and tumultuous behavior.
The warden, who evidently under
stands his business ordered the
hose turned on tho rioters. Water
was more than any California crimi-
nal or tramp could stand and in a
few minutes quiet and order were
restored
There are 1860 prisoners in San
Quentin, most of whom are desper-
ate criminals. Mr. Winthrop will
not visit Honolulu this year, having
a prior engagement which ho feels
obliged to keep.

WHEN ANNEXATION COMES
by the next steamer, as 1t will
do someday, then we shall
have to bring out all our good
things and have a right royal
feast.
Our native fruits such as
the Poha, Guava, Pine, Man

SEALED GLASS JARS,
and are absolutely indispens-
able for the festive board.
These crystal jars are simple
and sound in construction,
elegant in Ahape, show off the
fruit to perfection, easily clean
able and enormously cheap.
We also have a beautiful
selection of other glass ware
to select from and nothing
brightens up a tastefully ar

The reply which we publish in
full will put an end to all doubts
existing on the points in question,
and enable those interested to fol-
low their own iuclinstions in regard
to obtaining letters OF denization or
taking the oath Of allegiance. 1t is
only right to say that these views
have been entertained throughout
by all who have consulted Her Bri-
tannic Majesty's representatives
here, but this formal expression by
Lord Salisbury will be regarded as
a final decision open to no doubt,

JoHNNIRs MARCHING HOME.

Washington, the capitol Of the
Great Republic presented a very
gloomy appearance the other day.
Senators felt depressed and the
newspaper men of the reptile press
hurried to the banks to negotiate
their last Hawaiian checks for this
season.
What had happened? 1t was soon
learned that the Hawaiian jokers
who had afforded the public so
much amusement and the press 80
much money had packed their car
pet bags, and were speeding to-
wards the West after having seen
the Annexation Treaty being de-
posted in the senatorial waste
basket.
Kinney and Thurston were travel
ling towards the Paradise of the
Mormons, grateful that 2. G. Jones'
generosity ION account of which he
now suffers the agony OF sciatica

them to ride home instead of
measuring the distance OF the rail

am m'directed by the Marquis Of

Lordship has considered, in com.

the question raised in your letter

in regard to subscribing to the oath

who subsequently obtains such let
ters of Denization, is not to be deem
ed to have voluntarily become
naturalized in Hawaii within the

therefore to be deemed to have

The Constitution says in Article
81, Section 2: "The Cabinet shall
consist OF Minister of Foreign
Affairs, a Minister OF Interior, a
Minister of Finance and an Attorney,
General" In Article 26, Section 3,
the following provision appears:
"In case of the absence from the
seat of Government or temporary
disability OF any member of the
Cabinet, the President may appoint
one OF the remaining members of
the Cabinet to temporarily perform
the duties of the member so absent
or disabled. No such ad interim ap

more than SIXTY days from the date Of
appointment"

We fully realize that the ordinary
laws of the land were only passed TO
be broken by the "big bugs" and to
be enforced against the miserable
ordinary taxpayers, but we were
naive enough to suppose that the
fundamental law of the country
would be respected even by our oil
garchs, or that any violation of the
Constitution on the part of the Exc
cutive, would be hailed with burst
of condemnation and disapproba
tion even from the most fan attic
supporters of tho Republic.

FRIDAY, JULY l6, 1897.
OUR FUNNY REPUBLIC.

Sometimes we arc puzzled to
know whether Mr.. Dole and his
Cabinet ever read the Constitution
of the Hawaiian Republic. 1t was
undoubtedly framed by them, as
sisted by the Supreme Court and
the inner circle but did they ever
have any intention of living up to
the provisions of tho said Constitu-
tion.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-07-16

We have no doubt that Dole,
Cooper and Owen-Smith will assure
tho people that they abide by the
provision of the letter If thsy do,
the sad fact remains that Hawaii
during the past two weeks has had
no legal government and that every
signature of a Cabinet officer dur
ing that period has been invalid and
every act Of the Acting Minister Of
Finance illegal,
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-07-16

We have never admired the pro-
visions of that bungling piece of
business called the Constitution of
the Hawaiian Republic. We have
always claimed that it was the work
OF the coterie possessing no knowl-
edge OF the science OF Government
and simply endeavering at all
hazards to protect their own inter
ests. But for the sake of common
decency we did think that Mr.. Dole
at least would abide by the Consti-
tuition and refrain from publicly
and openly violating its provisions.

Minister Of Finance Damon left
the seat of Government on the 9th
day of May, 1897, and to-day we
write the 10Th of July, and yet the
Minister is absent and not likely to
return to Hawaii during the next
three or four weeks. Minister
Cooper has acted as Minister Of

THAT all settlers under the homestead

this act by treaty or agreement from the

the existing requirement to pay several
dollars per acre for their lands.

DEBs is plan ming the establish
ment of a socialistic community on
the BelIamy plan, and the COVER

900 converts here and set them
down on Washington soil. Whit
man county populists have later
invited Debs to bring the fulfill
ment of his scheme to this county
and locate it along the Palouse
river. The Palouse country is a
favored land; it has suffered neither
scourge nor drought, and its crop
is sure and certain, and it is sim
cerely hoped that this threatened
danger may now be averted. Debs'

suit ditastrously, and then woe UNI

pendent upon their fellow man for

is changed, and mankind is mould
ed on an entirely different plan,
these theoretical socialistic COM
munities will not succeed. They
have been tried, and have in every
case met with failure. The only
great difference in the scheme now

rest his future upon his own efforts,
and seeks therefore to put part of
the burden of his support upon his

Promptings of Conscience.

$50 strong is the influence welded by
conscience, and so frequently does it
cause the wrong-doer to atone for his sin,
that for the past eighty-fve years the
conscience fund has been officially rec
ognized as one of the regular sources of
revenue for the United States govern
ment," writes Clifford Howard in the
Ladies' Home Journal. During this
time the cOnsciences of the American
people have added to Uncle SANS re-
sources at the rate of about 5000 month,
or a total sum up to the present year of
something over 1900, 000-the amounts
of the individual contributions varying
from cents to several thousand dollars.
The smallest contribution ever made to
the conscience fund was received in May,
1896, and consisted of 2-cent stamp,
which was enclosed in the following let

United States treasury are not known.
They never present themselves at the
treasury and they take care to conceal
their identity by making their contribu-
tons anonymously or under assumed
names. In a great many instances the
contribution is made through minister
or priest, which is done, perhaps, for
the effect OF not only more surely hiding
the Identity of the penitent, but of adding
sanctity to his contribution. Others
again make their peace offerings through
friends or relatives, and even jailers
sometimes perform this duty for remorse-
full criminals. AS further precaution
Il alnst discovery many of these people
endeavor to disguise the handwriting,
or they have their communications writ
ten on the typewriter, while not few
forward their money without line or
word of writing. 1t is always taken for
granted that such remittances are in
tended for the conscience fund, as it is
reasonable to presume that no one would
send money in that loose fashion unless
it were for the purpose of expiating some
secret crime against the government.
Occasionally some one will remit by
check or money order, in which case, of
course, his name becomes known; and
once in great while some man will have
the courage to deliberately confess his
guilt and sign his name to the commu-
nication, but such instances are rare, for
there appears to be p general fear among
these contrite people that, although they
clear their consciences, the law may still
have the right to lay hold OF them for
their misdeeds."

ONE of our farmer friends states
that one reason why the squirrel
pest is exceptionally bad this year
IS because the corporations, into
whose hands have fallen large
tracts of land, have made no effort
to keep the active little rodent
down. The squirrels breed on these
lands unmolested, and then the
surplus overruns surrounding farms
and undo the work of the farmer.
Some method should be employed
by which the work of destroying
the squirrel could be prosecuted in
every quarter, a portion of the
farmers not being obliged to do al
the work and then fatten a neigh
boris squirrels.
