One thing is sure. The Hawaiians
will never voluntarily see their coun-
try under the American flag, A
people having for years governed
themselves under a constitutional
monarchy, feel that they have a
right to be heard, when the future
destiny Of their country and nation
ality is at stake. If the United
States Government, listening to q
small band Of Americana, who
wrongfully usurped the government
of friendly nation, deprive the
Hawaiian people of their country,
it is not annexation; it is a conquest
over the weak by one of the strongest
powers on the earth, and equal in
moral wrong to any of the civiliz-
alton movements of "piratical"
Great Britain.

The islands are now threatened
with an invasion of senators among
whom are Morgan, Quay and pos
sibly Pettigrew and Cannon. SEN
ator Morgan is expected here on the
9th of September. When the Ha-
waiians heard about his possible ar
rival, they discussed tho advisability
OF holding mass meeting while the
senator is here, and thus prove to
him that the Hawaiian nation as a
whole is absolutely opposed to an
nexation in any form, and even pre-
fer their independence with the
Dole oligarchy to the loss Of their
nationality and the autonomy Of
their country. Not being quite
posted in American politics, they
innocently believe that the visiting
senators would not go back to
Washington and state on the floor
OF the Senate, that "nearly all Ha-
waiians are now ia favor of annexa-
tion," when the contrary was prov
cd 10y an ocular demonstration,

visit OF the senators. Editorially
the organ seriously discussed the
matter and stated repeatedly, that
spont meeting of Hawaians
hostile to annexation would have
been entitled to respect and even
consideration, but Sugar Trust
bought enthusiasm would have no
more effect than a breath on an
armor clad ship.
No one Of course believed in the
fake. The p. @. Advertiser, the or
gan Of the missionaries, did not even
repeat the story or give it the
slightest notice. The idea that
Claus Spreckels should send
$1,000 or $l,OO0,00O to Hawaii to
buy the natives to demonstrate
against annexation is so utterly alb
surd that the fake, which Of course
by this mail will be sent as straight
goods to the American jingo press,
fell very fiat and was received with
contempt and ridicule, even by the
most ardent supporters OF Mr.. Dole.
What, by the way, has become Of
these supporters of the oligarcbyi
At the end of September a general
election Of Representatives will take
place. On the last day Of June the
registrars Of election closed their
books. The result showed that only
2267 names were registered on the
whole group, aud that in the cspi-
tai only S16 citizens desire to vote.
The significance of these figures can
be understood when it is remember
ed that at the election in 1887, the
year in which the missionaries by
revolution gained control of the gov
ernment, 14,683 voters registered.
Then Hawaii had population of
SO,37S against 10000 in 1897,
Now the official organs are busy
discussing what the reason is for
this very poor showing, and they are
advancing the most absurd and idi-
otto theories. The true reason is
that the Hawaiians will have nothing
to do with the oligarchy, and that
they firmly refuse to take the pre-
scribed oath to the republic; that
the Portuguese, large quota of the
voters, are dissatisfied by finding
themselves cast aside and driven to
the wall by the cheap Asiatic coolies,
with whom even the frugal Portu-
guese cannot compete. They blame,
and rightly, too, the Government
for the unlimited influx of Asiatics,
and they are hostile and bitter
against Mr.. Doles alleged republic;
and finally that the ranks Of the
"foreign" opposition have been
swelled by large number of former
sur porters of the Government, men
who shouldered guns iu 1898 and
1895, and as soon as convenient we're
thrown over to make room for some
member OF the "family compact" OF
for some newcomer with any kind
of a mysterious pull. But the Gov
ernment feels extremely mortified,
that the Congress and people of the
United States should see that only
1000 OF its supporters, of whom a
majority are Office holders, consider
it worth their trouble to place them
selves on record as voters under
Dole's oligarchy,

SIGNS OF A NEW ERA FOR
THE SAGEBRUSH STATE.

What is the reason of this morbid
drowsiness? Why is Nevada called the
Rot EN- Borough" the dispised Sage
brush State? Why is her population
each year diminishing, until now Nev-
ada, one the largest States in the Union,
cannot muster population to com.
mon sized town in the East?
Nevada at one time one OF the great
est wealth producers in the nation,
whose treasure vaults have been emptied
to build block upon block of magnificent
business properly in the city of San
Francisco. Even the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco grandest, was built with New
ada money, and what has she received
in return? Nothing but SCOTS and jeers.
If a native Nevadan raises TO fame she
is heralded throughout the world as a
native son or daughter OF the Golden
West but never from Nevada.
Isn't it about time halt was called :?
Have we no patriots within our State
with sand enough to get out and defend
her honor? We know that Nevada has
untold resources which need but the
hand OF development to demonstrate the
fact. Nevada has been as mum as u
clam, never once digging her eyes oat to
see what was going on in the world
around her. 1t is about time she was
aroused from this lethargy. Eastern
capital has been interested in her min
ing resources and the work OF develop
ment has commenced in earnest. Sal
nom river is showing every sign OF a
boom this Summer, which bids fair to
become permanent. Hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars have already been in
vested in Gold Creek, town is rapidly
springing up and machinery is already
ON the ground for mills and hosting
plants. Lone Mountain comes next on
the list, and then Tuscarora, and last
but not least is the Bull Run bonaHza. =
No development work to speak OF has
yet been done, but from all Indications
thus far, and if the sanguine hopes of
the owners is any criterion, second
Comstock may be looked for in the near
future. We predict new era ior our
Sagebrush State, and as the dawn ap-
proaches, let everyone interested in ad-
vancement, progress and good times put
a shoulder to the wheel and lit her out
of the deep and miry mud OF retrogres-
sion on to tue solid ground of prosperity.
Let every newspaper in the State join
the procession and leave no stone un-
turned in advancing and advocating her
interests. We cannot afford to lie dor
mant any longer; this is our opportu
nifty and let us make the best possible
use of it.
We have thousands of acres OF waste
land which could be transformed into
garden of Eden if the waste waters of
the Spring could be utilized during the
dry months. The Hum mboldt House, a
small station the Central Pacific rail
road, demonstrates beyond the shadow
of doubt what could be done with our
desert land, il the moisture was forth
coming.
1t might be possible to interest our
Legislature in this matter as we'll as

creased Over 500, 900.
Grand Total of $285,126 Wanted for
Supt. Mackenzie's Depa rtnent-
Extensions in the Service.

For hand and machine cleaning, streets
and avenues. $51 900; for cleaning i'm
proved alleys, $4,000; for cleaning .unin-

$4,000.
For snow and ice work, under act of
March ?, 1S95-97, 1000; sprinkling
unimproved city streets and suburban
roads, 81 900; total, $250,326.
Saiaries-For superintendent, 81 500; for
chief clerk, 81 500; for one clerk,
81 200; for three inspectors, 81, 200 each,
$1,000: for eleven inspectors, 81 100 each
Sl2 100; for three inspectors, 81 900 each,
$1,000; for one foreman of public dumps,
5000: for one messenger and driver, $500
total, S24, 500; grand total, 1865, 26.
The appropriation asked for would be
an increase OF S105,126 over that of this
year; S52, 600 Of this is to be used IN
extending the number of streets cleaned
daily by hand The rest OF the increase
is asked for tu II axe various extensions in
the street cleaning service.
Mr.. Mackenzie asked for an increase
OF $500 in his own salary and also for
an increase of that OF the assistant clerk.
| In conclusion, he makes the following
remarks concerning street cleaning in
speetors
For 1893 the appropriation was made
| for one chief inspector at 81 200 and
three inspectors at 81 200 each I sng
| gcst change here, reducing this class of
inspectors from 81 to So, as shown fol
| 1899. l also further recommend that
the ten inspectors provided for 1898 be
| increased 30 eleven, at 81 100 each, as
| shown
''in relation to the assistant inspectors
whose salaries were fixed by appropria
tion for 1895 at $500 each should be
increased TO 81 900 each, as they are
now engaged III same class OF work u,
the other inspectors and are held responsl
hle for the proper performance of the
! duties, being no longer as a matter oil

portioned that there will be no further
need for an officer OF that class All
should be hereafter classed as inspectors :

REVIEW OF SALOON LICENSES.
A Legal Point Questioning the
Rights Of the Excise Beard.

An important point, questioning the
legul right OF the excise board to refuse to
review . license except upon conviction
or after a protest from the residents of the
block upon which the saloon is situated,
has been raised and will soon be tested In
the courts
The point was raised in the case of
William Harneday, who has conducted q
saloon without intermission for the past
twelve years until at the beginning of the
present license year the excise board re-
fused him a renewal without assigning
a reason. 1t is claimed by his attorney
that he mas always conducted an orderly
place and that there has not been the
slightest protest from the property-0wnera
OF the vicinity
All the lawyers who have been consulted,
it is claimed, are unanimous in the opinion
that license once granted is continuous,
and that refusal to renew without cause
is practically ali arbitrary revocation.
The case when entered upon Will be
watched with interest by all Interested In
the saloon question, as it involves the ex-
is.ence OF every restaurant in Washington

BARRIERE SENT TO JAIL
Held in So, 900 Bail to Await Action
of the Grand Jury.
Possibility That Another Charge
Similar In Character VIII Be
Made Against Him.

When the case of Isadore L. Barriere
held In $1,000 bond on charge Of Grim
inal assault, is brought to the attention OF
the grand jury it is very likely that another
of mis- victims may add her testimony to
thatnf littlefifteen- year-old Mary NJ Grady
Tehearsed in the police court yesterday
1t is said on good authority that Barriere's
arrest has been the means OF lodging z
another complaint Of like nature against
hirn, and that he will face not one, but
two girls, who claim TO have been wronged
by him.
tits asserted that the police OF the Third
precinct have received information that
another charge OF assault, or at least OF
carnal knowledge, can be made out a gain st
Barriere by another young girl living near
him IN the Third precinct. The police who
are on the case refuse to give the name
OF tile gin for fear OF inluring her reputa
tion in case the case should fail; but
IL is said that the details are very similar
TO those In the Grady case
The testimony given by Miss Grady at
the preliminary hearing was of q very
damaging character. According to the
story OF the young girl, she was kept
in state of perpetual fear for her life.
Barriere first assaulted her last January,
and afterward repeated the offense many
| times over 1t was only on account of
| her. condition that her mother finally dis
| covered the real facts in the case, and that
| Barriere, her own son-in-law, was the
| guilty party.
| After hearing the recital Of her wrong
in court yesterday, Judge Kimball deemed
| it unnecessary to hear further testimony,
| and at once committed Barriere to Jail
under $4,000 bonds, to await the action
| of the grand jury.
| Mrs. Grady is much distressed at the I'M
| fortunate affair and did not have much
