A European Warnin g.

The following paragraph OF news
from the Weekly Times (London)
shows that the annexation OF Ha-
waii by the United States will have
its effect upon European Govern
ments, who, for some imaginable
but not announced reason, find it
convenient to increase their navies
in the North Pacific. 1t is quite
possible that when the United
States has once stolen our country
she will have to defend it or we may
have the German flag floating
above it:
The Japanese Press is much con-
cerned at the increasing naval forces
of the Western Powers, especially
of Great Britain and Russia, in far
Eastern waters since the close of
the war with China. One leading
journal OF the capital Qhe Nippon)
states that when the war with China
broke out Great Brit ain had 10
ships with displacement OF $4,000
tons, and Russia ten ships OF 25,000
tons. Russia has now 16 ships with
a total displacement of $4,000 tons,
and Great Britain has raised her
squadron TO 26 vessels, with dis
placement OF $4,000 tons. Further
Increases are designed, so that the
British fleet on the China station
will soon be fighting force of 20
vessels OF 100000 tons displacement.
Russia, too, is believed to design in
creasing her fleet there before the
end Of the year, so that her squadron
will number 19 vessels of $4,000 tons
displacement. Nor is the activity
limited to ships; the British are in
cressing their dock accommodation at
Hougkong, and are making Singa-
pore a second naval base for their
fleet in the far East. Singapore is
now to have large, perhaps two.
Russia is sparing NO pains to
strengthen and improve Vladivostok
last June large dock was opened
there, and efforts are being made to
have the port accessible all the year
round, while there is the possibility
OF Russia's acquiring a naval station
in China or Korea. France and
Germany, too, are increasing their
forces, while the annexation of Ha-
waii by the United States will
oblige the latter to maintain larger
naval force ip the North Pacific.

would probably Gil their respousi-
BILE offices to the satisfaction OF the
taxpayers. 1t is an outrage to use
a building which is untitled for
school purposes. We understand
that the Board blames he architect
and washes its baud OF the bad con-
dition of the primary school house.
If the building was uusuitable for
use why, may we ask, was it ever ac-
cepted? We would like to know
why an architect" is needed for the
erection Of school houses. All the
school buildings on the other islands
have been erected without the SER
vices OF architects and all are suit
able for their purpose, and light and
ventilation are ample. If parents
withdraw their children from the
primary school they are fully justi-
fed in doing so. The school may
be excellent but the building should
be condemned at once.

COWS on the Sabbath Day and, sc-
cording to the Hilo Tribune ne
penned the following letter Of warn
ing TO j. r. Wilson, the we'll known
proprietor OF the Volcano Stables,
who was driven nearly frantic ip his
efforts Of finding out what in the
name of common sense the Sheriff
did mean. This is the text of the
letter:
BUREAU OF POLICE, SHERIFF's OFF1oE,l
HILo, HAWAII, HI, Nov. 20, 1897
j. r. WILSON, ESQ, Proprietor Vol

Dear Sir:-The matter of working
fraight wagons over the Volcano
Road has grown to such proper
tions that | feel that it must be
checked.
No driving of fraight wagons or
carts is allowed on any Of the other
Islands except on the arrivals Of
steamers in Honolulu, and even
then it is confined to the trans.
portation of baggage and perishable
goods. The carting of lumber, etc,
would not be countenanced for a
moment.
I have, therefore, to notify you
that in case you send out your teams
so late in the week that they cannot
get back to town before Sunday
that they must rest over the Sab
bath at Olaa or be liable to arrest
and prosecution.
Yours truly,

A number OF parents whose chill
dren attend the primary branch of
the High School are complaining
loudly against the poor light in the
school building used by the chill
dren. The teachers have suffered
equally with the children aud "sore
eyes" are frequent with teachers and
pupils. The Board of Education
ought to devote some of its valua-
BILE time to investigating the condi-
tions OF the school. If the learned
members of the Board would devote
less time 10 sqnabbling among them
selves over lrifling and petty mat
ters and give little more attention
to issues Of more Importance to the
pupils of the public schools, thev

Germany to Retain Possession as q
Guarantee That Missionaries Will
Not Be Attacked.
BERLIN, Nov. 23.-The newspapers
Of this city report that Prince Henry
of Prussia, brother of Emperor Will
liam, is to take command of the
second German squadron in Chinese
waters, consisting of the Kaiserin
Augusta, the Deutschland and the
Gefion, which will probably start
for Kiao Chau Bay about December
10 next.
Admiral Won Die6erich will still
command the combined squadrons.
The Government organs are still
assiduously pointing to the Chinese
operations as approving the neces-
sity for an increase in the navy. 1t
is believed the Government is deter
mined to retain possession of Kiao
Chau Bay as guarantee against the
recurrence of attacks upon German
missionaries.

When You Rushed Us

in the battle Of the stoves and
ranges, you about cleared lis
out of our stock, so we had
to take q -econd breath and re-
plenish our supplies. We are
now ready for you again with
all that YOU require. We
especially recommend that
superfne favorite the BLUE
FLAME OIL STOVE which
has won it's way into the affec-
tons of all by its superior
merits of cleanliness, freedom
from odor and general utility.
The new stock contain several
improvements, notably one
for the manipulation of the
wicks.
We call attention also to
our STEEL RANGES es-
pecially No. Z which you will
find exactly to your taste and
demands. Then we have a
very useful little ALCOHOL
STOVE with its AGATE
KETTLE. This you will
find invalu ,ble. Then there
is the very useful and pretty
PANoY STOVE that has
proved such a hit. In fact
we have all kinds of Stoves
and Ranges and the imple-
ments connected with them,
and shall be only too pleased
to show them to you.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 8, 1897.
WILL BE INTERESTING.

When Senator Jones of Arkansas
opens the sluices of his eloquence in
the Senate against annexation, the
sntiquated Senator from Alabama,
Mr.. Morgan, will get drubbing
down that he will not easily forget.
Senator Jenes is not alone foreible
speaker, he is in the habit OF using
language, which it would be very
mild to term decidedly emphatic,
and he has no use for any renegade
democrat OF the Morgan stamp.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-12-08

The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1897-12-08

Our little Chief Justice, Serene,
the Lord OF Oversees, and the other
eloquent admirers of Alabama Nor
gan will OF course uphold their
champion and claim that Jones will
throw up the sponge in the fourth
or fifth round as soon as Morgan
gets iu his deadly work 1t is posi-
BILE that Morgan will succeed in
making every Senator and even
Jones tired, he always does. We
are not alone in our opinion. Frank
Leslie's Weekly writes iu a recent
number about him as follows:
In has long been disputed ques-
ton as to whether IT we're worse to
he fool or a knave. That question
is as far from determination to-day
as it ever was, and it is likely that
our grandchildren's grandchildren
will still be vexed by it. But there
is somewhat kindred question much
easier Of solution. The question is
this: "Is it not immoral to be
bore" We are inclined to take the
affirmative in any discussion that
the propounding of this question
may provoke, and we will give one
reason with entire frankness. The
greatest bore in public life to-day is
also the man who, on large scale is
exertiug the most evil influence.
When we first discussed the arbitra-
tion treaty with Great Britain we
ventured the suggestion that il 1t

Senator Morgon opposes everything
that makes for an enlightened civil

to express himself with such tire.

the Senatorial bores, la this par

possible that Alabama does not know
what she is inaicting upon the

in Washington all the year round,
and his own people are not often

TOPICS W THE DAY.

The "Apes" of Honolulu seem to
have dropped out Of sight There
is no room for an A. p. A. 10 the
Paradise Of the Pacific. The abortive
branch which was started mere has
evidently mrt the fate OF the "Na-
tonal Headquarters" TO which the
following reference is made in a
New York paper:
No one will regret the report,
sent from Washington, that the
Sheriff has taken charge Of the scant
effects the bankrupt aud discredited
A. P A. leave in their National
Headquarters" If the "headquart-
er." are in such bad order. it is easy
to understand the demoraized CON

rejoicing over the downfall of this
aggregation OF Intolerance and poll
tical prescription must, however, be
tempered by the fact that its evil
influence still fingers among certain
despicable bigots residing in Wash
ington.
AS the annexationists have plenty
OF money to burn we call their at
tentiou to an opportunity to squan-
der it on "very deserving charac-
ter" We quote from the Washing
ton Post: "Celso G. Moreno, of this
city, called at the White House, but
did not see the President. Mr.. Mo-
reno wishes to talk about the stand
the President will take regarding
the annexation of Hawaii Mr.. Mo-
reno says he has received private ad
vices from some of the most nfluen-
tial men of the little republic in the
Pacific, and desires that the Presi-
dent shall understand exactly how
the native Hawaiians feel on the sub
iect Of annexation. They are dis
gusted, he says, with the course pur-
sued by Lilinokslaui, and almost all
OF her former supporters have repu,
dated her, Mr.. Moreno will submit
his statements 10 the President in
writing, and may have personal
interview with him"
The victory OF Tammany at the
recent elections in Greater New
York shows that the people Of the
present day refuse to be legislated
into being good" as that word is
understood by the men and women
who pose as examples of righteous
ness to their unworthy fellow citi-
zens. In Greater Hilo the intelli-
