MIR. EDITOR:-Having just read
Professor Alexander's interesting COM
munication to your letter of this morn
ing's date, would beg space for a few
remarks touching the moral he draws
therefrom. The Professor says:
Should the Great Republic reverse its
policy of the past 90 years, reject the
overtures made TO it for a closer union
by the little Republic of Hawaii and
abrogate the Reciprocity Treaty, clos
ing American markets to that extent
against its products, it could no longer
claim any special privileges in Hawaii
o. expect to retain paramount infiu-
ence in Hawaiian affairs"
May / say that, with all due consid-
Grafton for the Professors opinion il
appears a not unreasonable SUPPOSE
ton TO expect that, whether we are
annexed or not, whether the Treaty of
Reciprocity is abrogated or not, or
whether we have closer commercial
union" or not, the dominating power
and influence of the United States will
always be paramount here. All the
great powers of the world can read
the signs of a determination on the
part of the United States to brook no
interference WITH matters HAWAIIAN.
During the troubles of 1898, it was es-
pecially asked in the British House of
Commons if any and what steps were
being taken to protect British inter
ests. The reply was that the Govern
ment felt that British interests would
be well regarded by the Government
AT Washington
Surely those who run can read, and
there seems no question of doubt but
that a thorough understanding exists
that, as far as active political action is
concerned Great Britain is out of the
field of Hawaiian politics. And why?
Simply because the British Govern
ment recognizes what is patent to all
the world, viz: That the natural trend
OF affairs is to keep these Islands in
dependent, the interests of the United
States requiring such condition and
any interference from any source
would be looked upon as a casus belli.
Under any and all circumstances the
United States must and will retain a
paramount influence in Hawaii"

to thisscity to-day by q farmer, had
been i'll for several weeks. 1t was

coffin was ordered and Miss Purking

to the great surprise OF everybody the
woman ended the proceedingby sit

croach upon is prerogatives, or inter-
fere with it in the discharge Of its du-
ty.

more severe than the punishment for
the other.

ADVISING OOLoRED FOLKS.

The Manchester, Va, EVENING LEAD

on the incorporation of the National
Anti-Mob and Lynch-law Association
it says:
Here it is again. Negroes are still
organizing to prevent lyneh-law, but
nothing whatever is said about the
crime for which Negroes are usually
iynched."
Law is established to punish crimi-

lynch law rather than prevent it.
There is not reputable colored man
in the country or q journal, but what
condemns criminal assault and those
who commit it.
They abhor these crimes and can see
no logical excuse for the commission
of others equally as heinous upon the
plea of Punishing the guilty party.
This power to punish is delegated to
the law and it's DEGREES should be re-
spected.
1t says:
"The black men are pursuing q

Why should societies be organized

selves from the ravages of their own
people years ago.
