NOT A PARALLEL CASE.

The fundamental objection to the an
nexation of Hawaii is put by the New
York Evening Post. 1t is that we, the
people Of a republic, whose base is the
consent Of the governed, propose to an
mex to our territory a foreign people
without asking their assent There Is
no pretense that the Hawaiian people
have been consulted in the matter,
from the beginning, when our minister
and our marines helped overthrow the
existing government, down to the rati-
flcation by the Hawaiian senate of the
treaty of annexation. Even this act Of
that senate gains no force as being
that of the representatives of the peo-
pie, for they were not elected by them,
the provisional government having
taken good care to so restrict the fran
chise that scarcely native could vote
in the election for legislators. The
plebiscite by which Napoleon Ill
was elected emperor of the French was
an open, free, unhampered expression
of the wish of the people compared
with that by which the provisional
government of Hawaii organized the
present government
This fundamental objection, one
which must appeal strongly to every
man who loves his country and its
basal principle that all governments
exist only with the consent Of the gov
erned, is sought to be met by Mr..
Thurston, ex-minister from Hawaii, in
his pamphlet, with q copy Of which he
has favored US, and in which he puts
forth all the specious arguments used
by the annexationists. He says that
the people of Texas were not consulted
prior to the annexation of their repub-
lie to the United States; that the pro-
posed step was not submitted to their
vote. The parallel does not even begin.
It breaks away at It's inception. There
is no similarity Of conditions whatever
Austin's enigrants moved in. There
was no large native population as in
Hawaii. 1t was settled by the emf
grants who moved in from the
States" Between them and their DIS
tant Mexican governors differences
arose, beginning soon after settlement
and continuing until the final war for
independence broke out. At that time
the 10000 inhabitants were almost
wholly Americans. with few Mexicans
scattered along the border. To their

trouble arise that the state would stand by
them and protect them from any former own
er If one should ever put In an appearance.
So they went forth and settled on such lands
as they had bought and paid for and COM
menced improvements by cutting brush, grub
bling out stumps, burning log heaps and build
ing fences and erecting houses and barns,
and making for themselves and families good.
comfortable homes where they anticipated
spending many happy years enjoying the
fruits Of their hard labor in peace and quiet
ness. But, behold! after some ten or twelve
years. some Judge has Just discovered that
the law under which he bought his land
was not constitutional and consequently the
settler has no title to his land.
Then 1t was that a lot of land sharks came
spent weeks at a time searching the records
and getting a description of all tax lands
that had been sold and the purchasers names,
so that they could commence suit against
said purchaser for possession OF the land,
claiming that they were the original owners
and that the settlers must get off the land.
L am creditably informed that there were
more land cases of the above kind at our dis
trict court this fall than all others combined
And what does the state do about 1t? Just
nothing at all. No laws were passed last
winter giving any relief to the settlers or
could hold their lands, but the land sharks
are allowed to prosecute and prosecute them
to their hearts content.
AS 1 said before, there are many other
laws that are now in force that never should
have been enacted and probably never would
passed y judgment on them before they were
ever signed by the governor. Let US hope
that the future lawmakers OF Minnesota will
be an improvement on the past ones, or We
may want couple OF annexes to the state
capitol instead Of one. &C. Wilcox,

st. Paul Boy Who Made a Profitable
Trip to Alaska.
Frederick Dieter, who was for some
years engaged with his father in the
shoe business IN this city, has return
ed to st. Paul from a prospecting trip
into the Klondike, the one-third owner
Of a claim estimated to be very valu-
able. Mr.. Dieter met with much the
same success III the gold fields which
befell many others early on the scene.
He went to Alaska last FEBRUARY with
two companions, and getting into the
interior with the first rush located his
valuable claim. Mr.. Dieter returned to
his home rather than spend the winter
in Alaska, not, he says, from any dan
ger of starving, but merely from choice
He will return to the Klondike in Feb
ruary. Mr.. Dieter is enthusiastic over
the rich gold fields and says there Is
yet much territory that has not been
prospected which will undoubtedly
prove as valuable as the Klondike dis
trict. He thinks rich strikes have been
made during the winter which will be-
come known this spring and again start
the rush to Alaska. There are, he
says, over 1,40O dead horses strewn
through the four miles Of the pass. The
miners, according to Mr.. Dieter, will
not suffer hardship unusual this win
ter, because the trading companies
have taken precaution to care for them
before supplying the towns. Many
have left the towns and have gone to
FCrt Yukon, Mr.. Dieter says until
spring. At the fort there are enough
provisions for all.

Referring to a young lady who recently
passed through a surgical operation at Albert
Lea. the Evening Tribune says:
Miss Johnson is but IS years old and has
been suffering in a greater or less degree
for two years, being daughter of Ole John
son and niece of the Haraldson brothers.
Are we to infer that the fact of the rela-
tionships noted added to her sufferings?-

responded by sending in an army. No
Stevens was there to inclte insurrection
in his capacity Of minister from the
United States, and no Boston lay In
Galveston harbor to lend the weight OF
her presence and the threat of her
marines to the revolving Texans. No
hasty scheme Of annexation was con-
cocted by a NV and hurried to nego-
tiation before the public knew of 1t.
It was years after Texas had fully
established her independence before she
received from Tyler an invitation to
join the Union. She had established
government based on the suffrage OF
all the citizens. net, as in Hawaii, a
government created by the votes OF
the few. with the great mass disfran-
chised. 1t was her representatives,
chosen by the people. and not self-ap-
pointed, who ratified the treaty our
senate rejected. Later, under Polk. the
project was renewed, the proffer this
time coming from Texas, although
meeting warm welcome at our hands.
It was no secret affair, but was an ex-
preston Of the general wish or the
voters. It was authorized by their del
egates duly elected and ratified by their
representatives. It was, above all, the
free act Of men Of American birth who
had formed their own government, not
that of an oligarchy imposed by force
upon an unconsulted and disfranchised
people. Mr.. Thurston may be well in
formed in the history Of Hawaii. but
he would not cite Texas as a precedent
were he as well informed in her his
tory. The eighth commandment will
not bulge before such an assault as
the Hawaiian ex-minister makes.

toll, or have a new building erected on the
capitol grounds, to be known as judges build
ing wherein all the judges of the state should
meet at the same time the legislature does
in session, and whenever a bill is introduced
and passed by both houses 1t should be given
to the judges to examine and decide whether
said bill is constitutional or not before the
governor signs 1t, thus preventing 1t from
becoming a lats if it is not all right, and will
1t is very annoying to have our legislature
make a law and have it put on the statute
books as the legal law of the land and en-
force it for four Of five years, and may be
ten years, and then have some judge rule
that the act making such q law was illegal;
consequently all acts, agreements or contracts
that had been made under that particular
law were null and void. The result is a great
many law suits IN al the dlferent courts
If the law had been declared unconstitutional
at the time Of its passage
There are altogether too, many such laws
in force now, but will only mention one Of
them now, and that is the delinquent tax
law law that our legislature takes a
whack at every session and the more they
they make it. They have made so many
laws and so many amendments to the laws
that any man who has failed to pay his
taxes for one or two years is now unable
to say whether he owns his farm or whether
the state owns it, or some one else owns 1t.
1 know of a forty-acre lot in this town that
two persons claim the ownership Of; one
on the ground that he bought 1t from the
government and is the original owner. and
the other that he holds a tax title from the
state. They both offer it for sale, and each
one is willing to give the purchaser a war
ranty deed of the land both fully believing
that they have the law on their side.
We have had annual tax sales and special
tax sales in this county which were author
lied by law and ordered by the state audi
tor, where men have bought lands on which
there had not been a cent Of taxes paid for
IS or 40 years, and the owners names were
unknown. Well, of course, the men that
bought lands at such sales believed that they
were all right and safe in buying the land.

Dedicated to the L. A w. For the Globel
With fond affection, in retrospection.

When the sun was strong. and the evenings
And we'd travel the path, my bike and I.
Whilst winters roar shakes roof and door.
And piercing winds howl in very wrath,
Thus IDLY l dream Of summer and seem
Again to be gliding along the path
The dying mem ries dear
OF summer outings, the lakes cool bath
But the dearest joys Of the bicycle boys
Are buried meath snow on the cycle path.
0 what delight! on summers night.
When the cooling zephyrs blow,
To gaiy glide by the meadow side
AS along the path We 90.
With lanterns lit. like spectres we fit
In the full moons mellow light,
Nor feel a care in the bracing air
That fans our rapid flight.
Past wild and dell the tinkling bell
Sounds merrily its warning.
AS we rush along with shout and SONG
All doubts and dangers scornIng.
When heat and toll and the days turmoil,
With the sinking sun we're over,
I'd mount my wheel then away I'd steal
To the yerdant fields Of clover!
No knight Of old, or warrior bold,
Fer spurred with greater zeal
His charger gray, TO join the fray,
Than l to the path, my wheel.
Nor spurs" I need for my gallant steed.
Nor whip" TO urge him faster
Supreme command rests in my hand
My will is lord and master
All, dear TO me is the memory
or the wild delights I'd feel
When at close OF day I'd ride away
On my gallant steed OF steel.

The virtues of whom what they like;
But were I to sing OF a beautiful thing,
My theme should be, my darling bike.

The Short Line has offered to trans
port all exhibits for the fair at Boise
free of charge. This applies both
ways. The granting of this liberal
concession removes the only obsta-
Gale in the way of a very large dis
play of the products of the state.
The matter of freight charges had
been somewhat serious problem,
but the public spirit of the railroad
management has solved it. The
management of the fair have re-
ceived assurances that there will be
exhibits from all of the south
eastern conties, while some exhibits
from the north also. The Spokane
Fruit Fair will be in progress at
the same time and the northern
counties had already made prepar
ations to particitate in it, but some
OF them will be represented at the
fair given in their own state. 1t is
an interesting fact that the COM
missioners of Nezperce county made
an appropriation of $3.50 for an
exhibit at the Spokane fair, this be-
ing done before the Idaho fair was
projected. it shows the appre recation
of that county of the advantages of
such an exhibit.
