1t would be interesting to know,
whether the Hawaiian Republic is
an independent power, or whether
it is dependency on coterie OF
jingo senators and politicians in the
United States. Recent events seem
to indicate that Mr.. Dole and his
administration consider the republic
in the latter undignified and humili-
ating position. Chinese immigra-
tion has been stopped because our
"friends" in the Senate object to
Chinese in Hawaii. Then the local
annexation organ howled for ne
groes, but last night we are told
that telegram has been received,
stating that Senator Morgan objects
to niggers in Hawaii, and the organ
says, this should be quite sufficient
TO close up the matter 1t may be
taken for granted that there will be
no introduction Of negro labor" Is
this an independent Republic or
what is it?

1t is pleasing to notice the energy
and interest which the agent Of the
society to the prevention OF cruelty
to animals as we'll as the regular po-
lice officers display in their efforts
to prevent unnecessary cruelty aud
ill-treatment OF animals. This
morning Capt, Parker stopped a
tramcar on Fort street, unhitched
one OF the horses and arrested the
driver. The horse was without
shoes ard badly chafed on the chest
and fanks. Warning has been re.
peatedly given to the Tramways
Company by Miss Wilder and Capt.
Parker, who finally adopted the
heroic measure of rather stopping
the traffic temporarily to allowing
the injured animal to continue its
journey OF pain and suffering. We
hope soon to hear that the S. p. @.
A. has taken steps to prevent the
shipping of cattle in the manner
now in vogue, and also to look into
the overcrowding of steamers with
sheep and cattle. A few days ago
a steer was nearly drowned when
being landed at the cattle pen here.
The animal had to be killed in the
water to save its life, as AN Irishman
would say, or rather to make the
carcass fit for use. The inspector
Of meat, however, condemned the
steer. Our attention has frequently
been called to the overcrowding Of
steamers, resulting in the death of
several sheep and calves, and great
suffering to the survivors. These
are matters worthy Of an investiga-
tion by the agent OF the S. P. @. A.

have won the palm for ex-
cellence throughout the whole
Hawaiian group. They are
found everywhere, and every
where approved. Their sales
exceed those of all other wind
mills combined. And why?
Because, not only will they
run when ALL OTHER

STILL, but they require less
care and attention than any
others, being simpler and
more complete and perfect in
their construction. Ministers
Cooper and Damon are both
satisfied with them, and so is

We sympathize with Minister
Damon on thee fate of his income
tax law. When the law was under
debate in the Senate, one senator,
Cecil Brown, we believe, pointed out
repeatedly, that the law in its pre-
sent form was unconstitutional. The
majority OF the Senate held differ
emily, and the law passed, only to
be buried by the Supreme Court
under the monument Of unconstitu-
tionality, the principle underlying
the law is undoubtedly correct, and
we hope to see Minister Damon in
due time able to amend our tax sys-
tenn so as to make an income tax
possible. Before such tax law can
go into effect however the present
tax laws must be revised from be-
ginning to end, and the system OF
taxation must become more equita-
BILE and just than it is at present,

The Aged Female Teacher.

On the streets of Lancaster a few
days ago we saw one of the oldest
lady teachers in Grant county-Miss
Ellen b. Chaffee of Beetown. AS she
passed along the streets, old gentle
men said to us Il went to school to
that old lady;" or There goes a lady
who spanked me when | was a school

grand old lady" we fell to wondering
