POVERTY is UNNATURAL.


You Must Wish for the Solution OF tho
Problem.
We seldom hear OF any person
starving to death, though sometimes it
does happen. But life was intended
to be something more, something
higher, than a mere existence. No
n can believe God to be good and
just and at the same time believe that
he intended that any man, capable and
willing to earn a living should be re-
duced to the humiliating, miserable and
painful condition of dependence on the
bounty of others for the very existence
of himself and his family. No one will
pretend to deny that but for charity
thousands and thousands would starve
every year in this land of plenty.
On every hand is heard: eyes, 1t is
PLAIN there is something wrong, some
where. But what can we do? We are
no responsible for it. We give in aims
all that we can afford to-. What more
can we do?"
There is this you can do. You can
honestly and conscientiously study the
problem. You can give a patient hear
ing to social reformers. You can keep
your mind open to conviction instead
OF meeting every proposed remedy with
a sheer or a bit of sarcasm. You can
read books written by men who are
devoting their lives to this great So
clal problem. You can encourage free
speech and promote education. But
hrst of all o must get rid of the
idea that the problem cannot be solved.
0 must tear out Of your mind the
blasphemous thought that God intend
ed such conditions. You must wish
Tor the solution of the problem, and
then 1t will not be long before you hope
Tor the solution. and then we are quite
sure it will not be much longer before
you find the solution and become earn
est advocates of it.-York, Pa, Gazette.

WHY is 1T?

Why are the monarchies of the old
world constantly buying gold and
boarding it for pretended war pur-
poses? Because they are afraid that if
they do not buy it up, it may get into
the hands of the people and make them
anarchists.
Why has Cleveland taken the side of
monarchy in every controversy we
have had during his term of office?
Because he wanted to get even with the

RUMOR AFLOAT SHIMAMURA
WILL RETURN.
The Minister Knows Nothing of It
Some japanese Papers Oppose Ha-
waiian Policy for Political Reasons.

Since the arrival of the Doric it has
been quietly whispered about the city
that japanese Minister Resident
Shimamura had been recalled by his
Government. The rumor could not be
traced to an authentic source, al
though a prominent japanese mer-
chant gave it out coldly that the
Toxic Government would inform Mr..
Shimamura to this effect sooner or
later --.s
Minister Shimamura was seen this
morning and asked if the rumor be
true. He replied that he had received
no intimation as yet from his Govern
ment to such effect.
ut may be and it may not be true, >
said the Minister. "One thing is GER
tain, l am in receipt of no such in
formation up to the present moment.
What is coming in the mails | know
nothing of.
"Some of the Japanese papers are
attacking Count Okuma, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, as well as myself,
over the course pursued by us in the
Hawaiian controversy, but these
papers are politically opposed to us
and what they do or say concerns us
but little.
a prominent merchant said this
morning: "By the last mail from
Japan l received the information from
my friends, who are closely connected
with the Foreign department, that It
had been practically decided to recall
Mr. Shimamura. My informants said
that Count Okuma desired to wait
and consult Special Councillor Aki-

"THE DIE is CAST" WRITES CELSO
CAESAR MORENO.
Advises Robert Wilcox to Form an
Annexation League Among Natives
Hawaiians Will Have All Rights.

A letter from Don Celso Caesar Nor
emo has been received by Robert Will
cox, who has handed it to this office,
and extracts are here given from the
document. The Don says:
MY Dear Wilcox:
IL always postponed writing to you
because / desired to give you exact in
formation.
This morning l had a long con-
yersation with Senator c. X. Davis,
Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations of the Senate, who
positively told me that "the die is
cast" and Hawaii will be annexed.
I'VE spoke about Hawaii and Ha-
waiians, and Senator Davis appeared
to be well informed about men and
things in Hawaii, and we spoke at
length about you.
Senator Davis is one of the most
prominent Senators, and is friendly
to the Hawaiians, and his name and
person ought to be popular and re-
spected among all of you native Ha-
waiians.
81 am sorry-deeply sorry-that the
Hawaians will lose their political au-
and it appears to me to be the fatal
fate of the Hawaiian rulers to be mis-
lead by small men at home and
abroad.
You and other prominent Ha-
waiians should form a League for the
purpose of persuading all the natives,
as the die is cast, to vote for anneXa-
ton to the United States.
"The idea that the native Hawaiians
will be treated by the United States
in the same manner that the Indians
are treated in America is simply alb
surd, and the Hawaiians will enjoy all
the rights and privileges of any other
American citizen, irrespective of race
and color or creed.
You should inform all your coun-
trymen in public meeting and thro-
ugh the press, in the Hawaiian and
English languages, of this prospect
i've, and on their part the aboriginists
of Hawaii must be loyal citizens to the
great American Republic.
"Be assured that President McKin-
the mouth of the philosopher, Senator
Davis, in whose hands and wisdom
ley and the great American people
will treat the Hawaiians as they de-
serve. | heard these very words from
the annexation treaty is entrusted.
you and others accept my sugges-
tions. and you may in near future
render valuable services to your race
and country.

U. S. WARSHIPS.
The Indiana to Go to Halifax for
Repairs.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Orders have
been received at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard to have all the vessels that are
undergoing repairs there ready for
sea duty by the end of the week. The
vessels are to join the ships of the
North Atlantic squadron, and the
work of making the necessary repairs
to them is being hurried.
The only ship now at the Navy yard
that will not join the squadron is the
Indiana. She is in bad condition, and
the hull below the water line is very
foul. There is no dry dock at present
available in which to put the vessel
for needed repairs. 1t is said the Brit.
ish Government will be asked to allow
the Navy Department the use of the
dock at HalifaX( as it is the only one
in which the Indiana can be floated.
This will be the first time the Gov
ernment has been compelled to ask &
foreign Government for the use of 6
dry dock in which to place one of its
ships for repairs.

THE POSITION OF HAWAIIAN
ANNEXATION.
Must Come in December-EXpects
Long Debate-Great Advantages of
Discussion.

With the return of William A..
Kinney, one of the Government COM
missioners who has been in Washing
ton laboring for annexation, comes
the latest information concerning
Hawaiian matters at the national
capital.
"While our political proposition can
not be counted sure until vote is
taken, still there is but little question
but what prompt annexation is GER
tain" said Mr.. Kinney.
THE administration has so arrang-
ed the Hawaiian question that it will
be brought up at the opening of Con-
gress in December. AS / understand
it, no commission will be appointed,
as everything will be in the shape of
arguments. 1t is my candid opinion
that the debate on the annexation
proposition will continue for several
weeks in the Senate before a final
vote is taken. The debate on the
treaty will be secret, but a gist of
what is said is invariably published.
"There is no occasion to consider
the postponement of annexation a
set back. 1t was the intention of the
administration to lay the question be,
fore Congress in order that it might
be take up promptly at the next
session.
''As far as Japan is concerned, be.
lieve that both the United States and
Hawaiian Governments will maintain
friendly relations with Japan without
yielding any of the essential points
taken by the greater republic and
this country.
"Let ms say this: The discussion
generally has helped the annexation
cause. Discussion proves that the
United States must either take the
islands for good or let them go for
good. The Senator who takes the
middle ground that Uncle Sam should
establish protectorate or keep her
control in the islands will be driven
out of the Senate by debate"

DARING ROBBERY.

During the absence of Purser Billy
Beckley from the steamer Mokolii
yesterday afternoon the safe on the
steamer was opened and bag con-
tanning $40 in cash stolen. Purser
Beckley placed the money in the safe
at l o'clock, and at o'clock it was
missing. The crew of the steamer
was hard at work loading freight
when the robbery occurred, and the
safe was almost in plain sight, yet
there is no clue to the thief. Beckley
recently had a new key made for the
safe, and he thinks that some one
must have secured a mold of it and
made a duplicate.

THE INJURED CHINAMAN.
His AssaiIant is Committed to Jail
Without hail.

This morning. when word was received
at the sixth precinct station that Sam
Lung was unconscious. and would probably
not live very long, Precinct Detective Har-
tigan hurried off with Charles Coates, the
young colored man who had used the piece
OF gas pipe on Lungs head, and had him
photographed for the gallery. Later the
detective learned that there was no truth
in the message. Sam had only been sleep
ing and about breakfast time he was not
only conscious, but appeared much better
than he did yesterday. This morning he
ate his breakfast with an apparent relish.
and when called upon by Star reporter,
he showed more interest in the matter of
furnishing his assailant than he had shown
before. He was particularly anxious to
when the case would be heard in court.
Last night he said the Chinese doctor call
ed again and dressed his wounded head, as
we'll as giving him some medicine, and he
has the fullest confidence in the doctor S
ability to cure him.
When Coates had been measured and
photographed for the gallery he was teken
before Judge Miller on charge of having
&C mmitted murderous assault on Sam
Lung with intent to take his life. The
condition of his victim was reported. and
Coates was committed to jail without bail.
John Hurley, who was also arrested, was
and Coates are intimate friends, and the
police feared that unless they held him he
would not be here when the case Is called
In court. Judge Miller held him in 500 Sc
CT rity. Ernest Brooks, who was also ar
rested. was released.
