That German Lottery.
Ed. The INDEPENDENT

Ed. The INDEPENDENT
was once 10 favor OF the lottery
bill for these islands, as I thought
the money to be obtained through
it would enrich us all, and make our
city the jolliest spot in the world.
That scheme was killed, however,
and after having lost considerable
money in the Havana, Louisiana,
and other lottery games, tho tickets
of which 1 had no difficulty in pur-
chasing here from well-known men,
have become reformer, and am
as much down on lotteries as | am
on my own bad luck.
To my surprise l noticed yester.
day in one of the Government news.
papers nearly column of descrip-
tion Of German lottery that de-
sires patronage from these islands.
1t is written up just in the same
style as the Chronicle, Call, and
Examiner used to write up the
Louisiana lotteries before the Fed
eral and States Governments sat
down upon them and made such ad-
vertisements illegal. OF course Pro.
fessor Alexander is brought in as a
blind, and so is Mrs. E. A. Berndt's
relatives winning Of 100000 for ten
cents. No detail ia omitted which
might enable the gambler to invest
his coin in the scheme, il he could
only dodge the Post Office, which is
easy enough as we old gamblers
know.
Now, can you tell me, Mr.. Editor,
whether that newspaper has the
right to publish that advertisement
under the disguise of an item of
local news. certainly was under
the impression that the Hawaiian
laws prohibited lotteries and gam
ing and any assistance offered TO
them. Would it not be an interest
ing matter for the Attorney Cen
erals Department to investigate,
but | suppose the Government is
afraid of the Star, and dare not Of
iend it's proprietors and the influence
it is assumed to possess.

blocks Of coraI7 Yes! well, two ka-
nakas pulled those out in about a

diver and fixed the chains around
the block and then the two raised it
on board with that simple derrick
Now look at that space on the
Esplau0de that has been filed up
by the dredger. | have made an
elaborate calculation as 10 its cost.
1t has cost no less than so cents a
pound to put it there. Costly work
you will admit, when there are so
many kanakas unemployed and
willing to do the work which the
Government is always promising to
give them. But there is another
point | will tell you to show you
why the Government is losing favor
with its supporters. You know that
there are a number of skilled and
practical engineers out Of work now.
Right on that dredger now is mere
youth as an engineer and he got his
billet because he is a relative OF
some one OF influence on board. We
stand no chance nor does the Gov
ernment."

better if occasionally it pondered
more seriously upon the character

appear to be to enthral dark

to positions that better men would
exalt and dignity, There is still
hope that another "Honest Abe"

Kidding the country OF a man who
dares to disseminate such vile lies

1t is strange but nevertheless a fact
that anarchists appear to have a special
hatred for men whose political and
social advancement has been wholly
the result of their own efforts, and due
in nowise to fortuitous circumstances,
or the accident of birth. The self
made" man, who always merits the
good opinion of his fellow men, appears
to be particularly odious to this, for
tunately, small group of people who
advocate the regeneration of the world
upon basis of chaos, and seek to ac-
complish that result by the assassina-
ton of those in authority. Just now,
President Felix Faure of France, who
has risen by his own efforts, from the
ranks of the plain people" to the
highest place in the gift of his country
men, appears to be the special target
of European anarchists; but forewarned
is forearmed, and it is not probable
that they will be given any immediate
opportunity to carry out their threats
against him.
