LILIUOKAI.ANI's PURPOSE.

1t has at last leaked out that the pur-
pose Of eX-Queen Liluokalanrs visit to
this country Is to sound the American
people as to their views OF the Dole
government i'm Hawaii. and to learn, IL
possible, whether or not either the pres
ent administration or that OF Major
Mckinley is likely to give her any help
towards regaining the throne.
Col. Julius Palmer, of Boston. is acting
as the ex-Queen's secretary, and is her
spokesman. He Is too crafty to say
great deal but what he has said on the
subject, however, leads to the belief that
Liliuokalani's presence in this country
is for the purpose here given

ments of Fer Majesty when tell you

IDLE GONyICrS.

The great State OF New York has
taken . step In the wrong direction when
It's Legislature declares that the con

be required to work. a system OF idle

asserts. the question Of providing en-
ploynent for prisoners does not appeal
TO humane feeling or pity for the
prisoner only; it IS n question OF self
interest for every citizen; it has TO do
with the maintenance Of security and
order In the free community; it is 4 vital

SINCE the burning Of The Capitol build

possible for making the Capitol building
at Richmond fire proof, and on the sub
ject the Lynchburg News, agreeing with

I'VE desire most heartily to unite
q in this invocation to the Legislature
for precautionary steps against this
great danger obstruction by fire..
We do this without seconding the *

every precaution Should be taken to pro-
