INVESTMENT NOTES.

Features of the stock market from
Cuthbert & Co, S wires are as follows:
Yesterdays market was unsettled,
made so by the uncertainty OF the err

against the Gould stocks and a bad
break of four points in Lehigh Valley
stock in the Philadelphia market. AT
the start the market showed firm I'M

owing to continued inside buying of
Sugar, the nervousness of the large
short interest in Tobacco, Leather and
other speciahies, which have been UNI

buying by foreigners in their special
ties, notably Northern Pacific and
Louisville. Closing cables reported an
unsettled feeling in the foreign mar
kets, with S-16 decline in English con
soils. This lead to a withdrawal of the
bull support and liquidation by early
buyers, followed by bear attacks. To-
bacco was exceptionally strong. The

Nobody here Of course believes
that our numerous commissioners"
visited Washington on behalf OF Mr..
Dole's funny little republic, just for
the sake of their health. The great
trio who was photographed together
with old Sherman as "signers" OF
the annexation treaty are not travel
ling for fun altogether. They are
all lawyers and know the value of
retainers and fees.
What the taxpayers would like to
know is, how much the public Treas
ury has contributed to those wise
men who have visited Mckinley.
The stockholders of certain planta-
tions will probably ask some ques-
.tious in regard to how much money
they have involuntarily planked
down for the pleasure OF having the
commissioners find out that "the
golden days of Hawaii-nei are pau"
That is their own business, however.

Lansing to arise and explain what

and why, under that heading, the
expenditures in July 1897 we're about
$4,000 more than in July 1896. The
expenditures of the Foreign Office
and the military have also increased
materially, and the Board of Health
has spent $1,000 more during the
past month than during the CORE
spending period year ago. The
taxpayers can OF course keep on
bowling for explanations as to where
their moneys go. The officials of

a Bit of a Chinese Mind.
Ed. The INDEpENDENT:-

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-
Please allow me space in your
valuable columns in reference to the
restrictions Of Chinese immigration.
In view OF the distance and uncer-
tainty OF annexation, it is difficult
to account for the haste by which
the Board of immigration has been
impelled to adopt restrictions with
the application Of United States
laws on a people that have been at
all times peaceful and law abiding.
Doubtless the Chinese could we'll
bear these measures without feel
ings of indignation, if these islands
have been annexed to the United
States. But we are not and the
news which the Doric brought in is
such as to indicate that the ques-
tion Of annexation is still shrouded
in the smoke of political strife, the
outcome of which none can safely
predict. Evidently the Government
is over-eager to secure the good
feelings of the American people,
whose union has caused them so
much agitation and anxiety, while
the accomplishment of which may
have necessitated the adoption of
these stringent measures against a
despised race before annexation is
declared. But as | recall the works
of those noble American missionar
that have left their homes for the
"Flowery Kingdom" and contrast
their teachings with the treatment
accorded to Chinese here by those
OF their own descent, / am inclined
to cry out to them, "Come back, ye
noble men, come back and instruct
your countrymen of Christ's great
est command, Love your neighbor
as yourself for Examples are bet
ter than precepts."

Introducing q New Element.

The Times, in leader on the Hs-
waiian treaty says: "There are
English, French, German, Japanese
and even Chinese interests which
are of considerable Importance, and
probably in some cases of even
greater Importance than those Of
American citizens. So much is this
the case that four years ago there
was seme question of joint admin
istration OF Hawaii, which might
have found more favour but for the
very poor results obtained by such
a system in Samoa. Probably the
objections to annexation that weigh
most with thoughtful Americans are
of a more purely self-regarding
kind. There is no machinery in the
American Constitution that seems
very well adapted to secure the
effective administration of islands
some thousands of miles away. Ha-
waii can hardly be made into a
State, however, energetic may be it's
American citizens, while the diff
culties in the way Of treating it as
Territory are only few degrees
less serious, In whatever way an
nexation might be effected it would
seem to entail novel responsibilities
and to introduce an entirely new
element into the American political
system

JUDGE AND ATTORNEY.

LII Is surprising tndJ IePutdole
members of the,Bar can give their
services, even for good fee, to par
ties who are using our law courts to
satisfy personal spite.
II is to be regretted that our re-
spectacle citizens should be taken
away from their business to serve as
Jurors on trivial and frivolous cases.
1t is shame that the money of
the taxpayers should be used in
paying the expenses of court pro-
ceedings of such nature as the che
ia case which yesterday occupied
the attention of Judge Carter and
jury until after 6 o'clock p. m.
The Judge evidently thought 30
and he did not hesitate in express
ing his opinion.
A gang of innocent, virtuous Chi
nese objected to having a number
of their esteemed countrymen yum
ming a che ia bank, and they conse-
quently hired Mr.. Ballou to set the
machinery of the law in motion and
to prosecute the sinners to the
fullest extent of our penal code.
The service of Government "de-
tectives" were enlisted and the "vir-
tuous" Chinese got the "bad" Chi
nese pulled. Mr.. Ballou appeared
for the 'good" ones and Messrs.
Paul Neumann and De Bolt for the
alleged evil doers.
The evidence presented to the
jury plainly proved that it was a
"put-up" job and that the Court
was being used to crafty the spite
of competing gambling company.
After all the evidence was in Mr..
De Bolt made brief speech for the
defendants. The Judge in address
ing the jury remarked that if the
detectives Of this republic were as
sisting in this kind of business, the
quicker we got rid of them the bet
ter il would be for all concerned,
and for the community generally.
The Judge further told the jury
that if they desired to give verdict
without leaving the box they were
at liberty to do SO.
Mr.. Ballou protested against the
Judge using such language, or Civ
ing such instructions to the jury,
and was in return told by His Honor
that if he (Ballou) did not know his
place in this Court he (Judge Car
teri would teach him where it was.
The jury retired, and some of the
jurors suggested that to their
unanimous verdict of "not guilty" a
rider be added, censuring the at
torney for the prosecution for vast
ing the time OF the Court and jury
in a case of such nature and for
assisting, according to evidence, in
making up the case.
The suggestion OF the rider was
submitted to the Judge, who laugh
ingly told the jury to stick to the
facts before them, and not take up
on themselves any authority not yet
belonging to them,
To sit all day on a case of the ma
ture of the che ia case referred to,
in the weather we are now suffering
under, is sufficient, however, to
make any well-regulated juror swear
and kick.
Judge Carter was generally com
plimented on the manner in which
he ''sat" on Ballou.
