MR.. CARNEGIE, like some of the other
rich republicans of the North, has de-
termined to make his home in England.
It would not be at all strange if South
ern men who have saved enough of the
wreck of their property to enable them
to do go, and who are constantly an
noyed by comparing their present with
their past condition, should shake the
dust of this country from their feet and
live the rest of their lives abroad, but
why Northern men, who have acquired
their wealth by the special favors
granted them by Congressional legisla-
tion, and who are indebted to the coun-
try for all they have, should go away
from it, to spend their fortunes among
those who properly look upon them as
snobs, toadies and parvenus, can be
told better by themselves than by any
BODY else.

uo,yaii Ratifies annexation.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 22.-The
steamer e., OF Picking, which arrived
LAT evening, brought advices from the
Hawaiian Islands up to and including
the 14th inst. The Senate convened on
September s, but owing to The death OF
the president of the legislature, adjourn
ed until the following day. The session
of the 9th lasted less than two hours,
but in that time the annexation treaty
was presented and ratified without a
dissenting vote. The session was
closed on the 10th, to be convened
again next March in regular session.
Despite the action OF the Senate, the
opponents of annexation are continuing
their fight and the leaders OF the
movement express the utmost conf
dence in their ability to defeat annex
alton. A call has been issued for q
mass meeting to be held on the 18th,
and the indications were that 1t would
be one of the largest ever held in the
islands. Some OF the anne1ationists
hoped to be able to have Senator Nor
gan, who arrived on the 18th, address
the meeting with the object of chang
ing the sentiment of the natives, but
there was little likelihood of their plan
meeting with success.
The Hawaiian annexation treaty
which was submitted to the United
States Senate on June 10th, but las
not yet been acted upon, provides fol-
the cession to the United States of all
rights of sovereignty over the islands
and all public land and property. Un-
der it the islands would constitute q
territory of the United States with q
local legislature, subject to a veto
power vested in the president. All
the treaties of the United States with
other countries would be substituted
for those now in force with Hawaii
The further immigration of Chinese to
the islands is to be prohibited and our
laws on the subject are to be extended
to Hawaii. The treaty provides fol
/ the assumption by the United States o.
the Hawaiian public debt of 100000
The document will probably come uI
for consideration, rejection or ratiica
ton by the Senate when Congress
meets in December.

ton was opened this morning at Oak.

ty-seven cases in the past two days is es'
pecially pronounced. The death to-day
of DR.. Lowell and Miss Elizabeth Miss
baum makes total of eight deaths.

COLONEL LAMB, in his latest talk to
the republicans of the State, says :
"The State committee have made it
very apparent that they have no use
for x-Confederates in the councils of
the party" 1t certainly does look very
much that way. But why shouldn't
it? The republican, is a sectional party,
and has no use for "ex.rebels," no mat
ter how we'll reconstructed they may
be. They evidently have the same
opinion of native Southern republicans
that MIR. John Wise once had, and are
afraid to trust them. Why, some Of
them don't deny that the mere sight of
q Confederate flag is offensive to them.
SENATOR MARTIN, in the speech he

IN THE LOWERING CASE.
Secretary Says the Punishment Does
Not Fit the OficnSe.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Secretary Alger
has made public the reprimand admins
tered to Captain Lowering by sentence OF
court-martial, as follows:
by order of the president, the pro
eeedngs, findings and sentence in the
ease of Catain l.. A. Lowering, Fourth i'll
fantry, is approved 1t is, however, to
be regretted that an offense so great and
example so far-reaching as this should be
visited with so light a penalty. There IS
no question but Private Hammond de
served punishment for his conduct, but
way. The military laws governing the
army are explicit. They prescribe the
duties of officers and enlisted men, with
the penalties for their violation. Under
them, both have rights and obligations.
When. therefore, an officer with the in
telligence and experience with which
Captain Lowering is credited, not only
violates these laws. but exhibits such Il
lack of humanity as is shown in this case,
he should receive a more severe sentence
than a mere repTimand. Committing such
acts degrades the officer more than the
soldier he Furnishes, and shows unfitness
for the care and command of men. I'm
der excitement men frequently do things
which in sober moments they recall with
sorrow and regret, but this case is ag-
srayated by the fact that after weeks OF
deliberation the officer evinces no regret
for his wrongful acts

Montana Representative Who Made
Sensational Statements.


Helena, Mont, Dec Judge McIn-
tyre, in the district court, has decided
the demurrer entered by Representative
Fred Whteside. As a member of the in
vestigating committee of the legislature
he made statements in minority report
charging Cole with duplicity and crooked
work in connection with the building of
the capitol. He gave a copy of the report
for publication in advance of its reading
in the house, and also, after the legisa-
tue adjourned without adopting his re-
port. reiterated his statements in a letter
to the Independent.
He pleaded in demurral to the com
plant of Cole that he had been informed
by reputable persons that the charges he
made were true, and believed them to be
true, and believed it to he his duty TO
publish them, as member of the legis-
latme in the interest of the people.
To the second complaint he pleaded
privilege in publishing the letter as he
did.
Judge Mcintyre holds that the demur-
rer in the first cause is based upon Il plea
that is only good in mitigation of dam
ages, and does not constitute a defense
except therefor, and the plea of privilege
is overruled in toto. The decision leaves
the issue of damage for jury. and under
it DR.. Cole may obtain some damages ON
both counts.
