For becoming part of the Ameri-
can union and still retaining owner
ship and independent control of her
public lands, Hawaii has the marked
and well recognized rule of the eX-
perience of Texas. That common
wealth also had discouragements and
setbacks and was compelled to over
come tremendous obstacles. Hawaii is
having very smooth sailing so far in
the direction of the haven compared
to the voyage of Texas. That Ship of
State had a most unauspicious and
discouraging start. 1t was only upon
the second or third definite, well sus-
tanned and most promising attempts
thatTeXas was taken in. This was done
much in the manner that Judge Hart
well suggests for Hawaii-by a brief,
plain joint resolution. The next year
a treaty was made, settling upon de-
tails. The outlook for Hawaii along
the route to the promised land is clear
and the AnneXationists should GER
tainly feel encouraged.

DECEMBER 80, 1896.

The severe and constant
rains that have prevailed in
the Islands the past few days
have given us a set back in
some of our lines, especially so
in garden sprinklers. Garden
sprinklers are not a new thing
by any means, but there is
always room for Improvement.
One particularly to which we
wish to call your attention is
the Ball Nozzle Sprinkler.
This is one of the neatest and
best little fountains ever in
troduced. 1t is so simple in
construction that it cannot
possibly get out of order.
When the force of water is
once turned on the sprinkler
does the work in a most salts
factory manner. There being
no back pressure, there is
nothing to break, and a natu-
raj steady rain is the result.
We have been forced by the
damp weather to reduce the
price of this unique and useful
garden article to 81 and $3.50.
We don't feel like doing it,
but at any rate you are the
winner. If you don't want
this one we have various other
makes-sev Of them-not-
ably, the California.
We have the best and
cheapest garden hose in the
city in aa-inch or l-inch-25 or
5o-foot lengths, and in two
grades
We feel confident that it is
impossible for you to better
yourself more than we can for
you. A trial will be sufficient.

lesson to be taken to heart at this time
is the remarkable general desire to
preserve harmony and to "let bygoncs
be bygones." The incident was closed
with almost alacrity. But it is es-
peeially creditable to the intelligence
and earnest intent of all involved that
mention is not forced or hurrahed or
featured by individuals, public speak
ers of the press. This shows in the
people a superior quality of genuine
character. 1t is from the ranks of
such men as have been or were in
volved that the material to build or
form a state and continue and
strengthen and improve it may safely
be drawn. On one side there was soon
forbearante, on the other there was
quickly presented the admission Of
error. The speedy recovery from II
condition of turmoil, which included
free exchange of shots-blood baptism
of the Republics the very strongest
proof of the capacity of the people IF
Hawaii for self-government. In their
hands a state that would have been
shattered in some European country
for instance and that would have been
frightfully crippled in America, was
preserved intact. The history of the
uprising of 1895 demonstrated above
all things the genuine spirit of 1776,
the inspiration of New England ana
the faith that makes Hawaii well fitted
for proud place in the American
Union. In fact it may be said in this
week two years ago the principle of
Annexation was reaffirmed finally to
stand as an unchallenged belief till
the effort for it is crowned with sue

Those who have been "sloshing
about" against annexation with ref
erences to contract labor as crutch
or weapon, have been cornered and
endorsed by the facts and arguments
on the subject appearing in The Star

in reply or defense is that old-time
weapon of the opposition-denial of
facts. But the facts stand, and what

The Cuban sensations of late have
rather overshadowed the fresh intel
ligence of more massacres of Armen-
ians in Turkey. Hawaii, in an intense
ly sympathetic, humane and practical
manner could easily contribute mucn
more than her share to relief of the
situation. In casting about for Euro
pean labor for the cane estates it is
poor policy to overlook the available
people of this race. There is the as
surance of ample and satisfactory
authority that Armenians would do
well for plantations and that they are
of desirable citizenship material. In
this connection it is gratifying to be
able to say "by the card" that a real

THE EBB OF THE TIDE.

The season for travel to the Yukon has closed, and those who failed to secure passage may be considered more fortunate than the men who have gone into the new Fl Dorado lily prepared to withstand the severe winter of that hyperborean region. Experienced men seem to concur in the opinion that provisions will be very scarce in Dawson City the coming winter, and that there Is bound to be much suffer- Ing on the Yukon before navigation opens in the spring. Some of the old traders go so far as to say that the late rush is not warranted by the facts of the case, conclusion in which Do- minion Surveyor Ogelvie agrees, and his experience is certainly unsurpassed. Reports from Bonanza and Fl Dorado creeks of rich strikes and fortunes &C., qnired are matters of history, from which no benefit IS to be derived by newcomers. These two creeks are completely occupied and prospectors must seek new fields, with all the un- certainties and vicissitudes attending such an occupation. A man might spend ten years on the Yukon acquir- ing competency, or possibly for tune, and on his return to civilization would probably find that his plodding brother or neighbor remaining at home had achieved at least as much worldly success, with much less physical exer- ton and far more comfort and enjoy ment.
 It ig more than probable that the stream of destitute and disheartened miners returning from the Yukon next spring will equal the number bound north on the voyage of discovery. Such is the history of tho California gold excitement in 1849, and there is every reason to believe that the experi- ences of that era are likely to be re- enacted with an aggravation of attend ant evils.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES NO PRO- FICTION TO FEDERAL
 EMPLOYES.

The decision of Judge Cox, of the Supreme court of the District of Colum- bia, dismissing the bill of complaint of John G. Wood, superintendent of mails at Louisville, Ky, to enioin the Post master General from transferring him to subordinate position, removes any lingering belief that the civil service law is of any value whatever to protect worthy persons in the employ of the government from discrimination and removal for political reasons. Although there was no charge of incompetency made against Wood, he was reduced to a minor position with small salary, doubtless with the expectation that he would resign rather than submit to such humiliation. The case has attract ed great deal of attention, having been considered in the nature of a test of the power of removal and transfer.
 Judge Cox, in the opinion, holds that it is settled law that the power of re- moval is an incident to the power of appointment and that both can be ex- ercised by the head of department in reference to subordinate officers. The law, Judge Cox says, does not grant authority to the Civil Service Commis- sion or to the President, to make rules of a legislative character, such as those invoked by the complainant and that in his judgment they are ultra wires and void.
 Tho President may lay down rules for the internal policy of his adminis- trstion and may require his chief exec utive officers, dependent upon his pleasure for their terms of office, to conform to them, and in that sense the rules relied upon by the complainant are within his political and executive authority. But the enforcement of such rules is a matter. between the President and his Cabinet, and not 8 matter for the courts. or one in which the complainant has any legal interest.
 According to the opinion, therefore, the President is clothed with absolute power to make and enforce such rules as he may see fit, for the guidance of the executive officers of his administra- ton, and tenure of office is dependent solely upon the ipse dixit of one man.

Judgo A. D. Lemon, of San Fran

Judge A. D. Lemon, of San Fran cisco, formerly resident of Arizona, is in Phoenix. The Republican says: "The object of his coming, it is sup posed, is to work for pardon for his son, Lawrence Lemon, now serving all eight-yea sentence at Yuma for man. slaughter. The crime of which young Lemon was convicted was the killing of Thomas Shean nt Harshaw, a min ing camp in southern Pima county. The killing occurred almost exactly two years ago. Lemon was tried and convicted three months later. The finding of the jury was an unsatisfac- tory compromise, for the killing of Shean was surrounded by such circum- stances that it could consistently be re- garded only as justifable homicide or a murder" It is true, as the Re- publican says, that the finding of the jury was unsatisfactory, but there was never any question of Lawrence Lemons guilt or the gravity of the crime, which, according to the evi- dence adduced at the trial, was murder without any extenuating circumstances. Had Lemon received his just deserts he would have been hung, and no plea for his pardon should be entertained by Governor McCord. Application for Lawrence Lemons pardon was made to Gov. Hughes, who very prop erly refused to grant it. Since the above was put in type it has been learned that the application for the pardon of Lemon was granted, to take effect in November.

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER as, 1897
THE YAYAPAI RAILROAD BONDS
 FUNDED.

Recent acts of Governor McCord give strong color to the charges made prior to his nomination as governor, to the effect that he was the candidate of Ives, Murphy ct al, whose influence he chiefly relied upon to secure the ap- pointment, and with whom, 1t is alleged, he had conspired, or bar gained, to ratify the prison labor con tract and to fund the Yavapai county railroad bonds, two of the most un- popular and iniquitous schemes pend ing when he took office, and both of which he has now confirmed, so far as lies in his power, although he has been in office less than three months. It certainly appears, as Buckley O'Neill says, that Governor McCord is guilty of indecent haste in ratifying measures so unpopular and so preiudicial to the interests of the people of Arizona.
 On Saturday last Governor McCord and Secretary Akers, constituting a majority of the Arizona funding com mission, voted to fund the bonds of the defunct Prescott X Arizona Central railroad, to the amount of S260, 900. It is claimed in extenuation of this action, that the commission had no alternative in the matter since the amended funding act introduced by N. O.. Murphy and passGd by Congress at the spring session, il. June, 1896, made it compulsory upon the commission to fund all such evidences of indebted ness. Nevertheless, Governor Frank lin, be it said ts his credit, refused to recognize the legality of the Yavapai railroad bonils, and without the inter vention of the governor there was small prospect of their ever being val dated.
 It is true that the P. X A. c. railroad was built and operated for season, but the track WAS subsequently, torn up and all the property of the railroad removed, giving good grounds for the claim made by Yayapai county that the conditions upon which the bonds were issued had been violated. Certain it IS that Yavapai county has nothing what ever to show as quid pro quo for the bonds issued to the railroad company, and which it is alleged were bought up for song by their present holders.
 The talk that the funding of these bonds has saved the credit of Arizona is all poppy cock. By the action of the commission, the territory guaran- tees the payment of the debt, and it is difficult to see how the addition of more than quarter of million dollars to Arizona's obligations can improve her credit. The only people who appear to be uneasy about the terri tory's credit are the spectators and shylocks who want to get their hooks into the treasury.
