the territory Of Alaska, that means
form OF government, where the
people will have no voice and an
oligarchy be continued ia power.
The firm belief, that this is the pro-
gram OF the annexationists is the
main reason why the majority Of the
Portuguese and numerous other
foreigners have joined the Opposi-
ton to the annexation move.

Funny" immensely funny, is the
most correct description of Mr..
Dole's government, so far. But the
wise men at Iolani Palace are get
ting more than funny, if they believe
that the American jingo will sue
ceed in changing the constitution
Of the United States to accommo-
date the Dole oligarchy and his high
officials, whose hearts now are torn
in the struggle to decide, whether
to have annexation and lose office
or hang onto their brief but beloved
authority and drop annexation. You
cannot eat your cake and still have
it, not even when annexation comes.

Their words have no effect, how
ever, partly because they are not
believed by the men, who they so
often have betrayed, and partly be-
cause the intelligent Hawaiians and
Portuguese are perfectly capable Of
judging for themselves, what the
results OF annexation would mean to
them and to the country.

The skilled laborer, the clerk and
his class of wage Garner will have no
end of competition to meet, and for
this reason their wages will be cut
until rates prevailing in California
will rule here. The japanese un-
derstands the situation and is al
ready talking about better pay after
annexation. But the class of men,
who will be losers seem to be blind
to their future interests. Every man
and woman and child of the white
race in these islands should use the
influence they have against annex
alton. While it is true that the an
nexation cause is dying, no effort to
prevent its resuscitatioh should be
neglected or overlooked. Power is
always with the oppressor and the
monied class have the power aud are
using it unscrupulously.

BILE thrive, and all under the often

should be heartily anxious to be-
come Americans. They would first
like to know, however, how it is that
the Hawaiian annexationists prefer
to employ Japanese and Chinese to
them in lines of labor in which they
we're formerly almost exclusively
employed.

The INDEPENDENT predicts that
should Hawaii be annexed to the
United States, that the Japanese
will occupy every line Of manufac-
turing requiring cheap labor. The
Chinese will be shut out by the Ex-
clusion Act, and the manufacturer,
whether Of sugar or auy other pro
duct, will demand the Japanese as
against any other laborer. The
wage of the field laborer will un-
doubtedly advance, for he will be
in demand

We hear great deal about the
political standing which would be
obtained by us in case Of annexation
and how we would be free and equal
in the governing OF Hawaii, At the
same time we are all aware that
nothing is further from the thoughts
of the negotiators for annexation
than submitting to territorial or
state form of government for Ha-
waii. Our rulers know perfectly
well, that, if Hawaii was admitted
as territory, they would disappear
from the public and political arena,
and be forced to join the masses in
their struggle for existence, con-
dition not palatable to our pamper-
cd officials, who draw big salaries,
build Spanish residences, and are
incapable OF filing any public office.

The Indian. Pipe Quarry.

In southwestern Minnesota is cele-
brated quarry where the Indians have
for centuries obtained a soft red stone
out of which they carve pipes. The
quarry belongs to the Sioux, TO whom it
was ceded by the United States govern
ment 40 years ago. Mr.. A. H. Gotschall
says this is the only place in America,
and probably in the world, where this
particular kind of stone is found. Many
tribes of the red men formerly resorted
to the quarry, and the pipestone seems
to have been an article of commerce
among them, for it has been found in
Indian graves scattered all the way
from the great lakes to the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t has also been found as far
west as the Rocky mountains, and in
British America.-Youth's Companion.

BORING FOR STEAM.
HOPE to Find 1t Two Miles Below the
Earth's Surface.


The deepest well in Uhe. world will
soon be completed near Pittsburgh, IA.
1t is now more than one mile deep, and
when. it is finished it may reach two
miles into the earth. 1t is beng bored
in the interest of science. The object IN
penetrating so deeply is to determine
Just what the interior of the human
footstool is like. From commerclal
point of view the well was a success
long ago. A comparatively few feet
below the surface both gas and Oil were
struck in paying quantities, but the
company owning the plant determined
to dedicate it to science, and invited
Prof William uallock, of Columbia col
lege, to carry on a series OF temperature
Investigations as the hole is carried
deeper and deeper into the earth. The
result of these Investigations is very
interesting, and it is the opinion OF sew
eral well-known scientists that the ul-
innate result of the boring will prove to
be of Widespread economic as well as OF
scientific value. Most significant OF all
the facts SO far ascertained is that the
we'll grows steadily hotter as its depth
increases. 4t| .tfst't sI
1t is the intention of the company to
continue the boring process until some
thing entirely new and original is de-
yeloped. This may seem a crude way OF
putting the statement, but it has long
been theory among well men that If
it is possible to go deep enough some
rev geologic condition or economic tea-
ture would be found 10 exist. At the
very lead they claim natural steam
would be encountered, or the well walls
would finally become so hot that water
could be pumped down cold andpumped
I'D in the form of steam, and thus the
natural power of the future be obtained.
At apy rate there is material for much
speculation, and the interest becomes
greater in increased ratio as the drill
descends and startling event is eX-
pected to happen almost amy day. One
remarkable feature of the well is that
the gas found near the surface is pow
used to operate the powerful engines
hich do the drilling. Thus the natural
power already issuing from the well is
utilized for the purpose OF deepening
it.-Washington Star

AMERICAN CHILD AND PARENT.
FiliaI piety Almost Unknown I'm Thi.

1t was pretty little letter that Ii
Hung Chang wrote to a little Brooklyn
girl few weeks ago in which he com
mended especially to her the religion
of his country-reverence and respect
for her parents-virtues which in this.
country are sadly neglected. The Amer
ican child judges his parent with youth
full severity, not unmiNed with preju-
dice, inasmuch as he is directly affect
ed by his fathers or mothers short
comings. To feel respect simply be-
cause a certain individual stands to
linn in loco PARENTS never enters his
mind. If his parent is worthy to be
loved, according to the child's stand
ards, he loves him; if not, he dislikes
him, and calmly discusses his faults as
if he were a stranger. What is known
as filial piety is almost unknown in
America. A certain sense of duty is
undoubtedly felt. An old and INDECENT
parent would be cheerfully supported.
For, without having any particular rev.
erence, Americans are kind to old peo-
pie, and even tolerant to the foibles
and weaknesses of a grandparent, be-
ing only severe in their criticisms of
their immediate progenitors.
The chief trouble in this country is
that there is no regular standard com
mon to every household that all young
people should conform to as matter of
course. Some families are strict, 9TH
ers are lax, but in one and all children
rank with their elders. Family rule is
fydra-headed in America" says one of
our many foreign critics with much rea-
son, but how they do love to criticise
US! No other country is so constantly
dissected and pulled to pieces. Chill
dren, wives and servants, all but the le-
gitimate head of the house, with an
equal voice in the management, and
each with veto over his personal wills
and wants.
1T must not esupposed," this writer
says in another part of his book, from
the social and domestic prominence of
the women and children that American
men are supine lot; they are subordi-
nate to their families, but are not to
be bulled by other men. 1t is simply
the habit of the country, as an Indian
warrior of undoubted bravery, whose
tepee is hung with scalps, may be
beaten by his favorite squaw without
loss of dignity"
But" continues our latest critic,
who find our institutions atrocious,
our society crude and vulgar, yet who
evidently has kindly feelings for Amer
lean men and women despite their
shortcomings plus terrible of all,
the enfant terrible, is the American en-
fant'-in him he finds nothing to
praise!-N. Y. Tribune.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS

Tuesday was truly a Democratic
day, and victory perches upon the
Democratic standards. The grand
old party Of Jefferson and jackson
asserted itself and made q splendid
showing, even in rock-ribbed Re
publican States.
The victories are sweeping and
broad in their scope New York
and Kentucky have been redeemed
and regenerated. 1t was a regular
landslide in both States, and the
majorites are still climbing. Van
Wyck, Democrat, has q plurality of
So, ,30S for mayor Of New York City.
The majority for Judge Parker, the
Democratic candidate for chief Jus
tice of the court of appeals Of New
York is 58,6S7, thus overturning a
plurality Of 26S,OOO for Mckinley
last year. The election of Demo
cratic mayors in all the large cities
and the heavy gains in the assem-
bly, districts of New York was a sur
prise even to the Democrats.
The Democratic majority in old
Kentucky will be about $4,000, and
the Democrats have made a clean
sweep in Virginia.
The Republicans have carried
Iowa, Massachusetts, and Pennsyl-
vania by greatly reduced majorities.
In Nebraska the Democrats have
swept the State by from $4,000 to
10000.
The Maryland and Ohio legisla-
lures are still in doubt, but in the
latter State the Democrats seem to
have the best of it. Bushnell, Re
publican, is elected governor of
Ohio, but the Republican majority
in Ohio is reduced about 10000,
and Hanna may be swept from the
field and a Democrat elected to the
United States Senate.
The fusionist won in Colorado
and Kansas.
