Showing That Nothing In New.

The new law passed by the legislature Of
Georgia relative to contested claims as to
life insurance policies is strangely a mod
%ifcation of a provision in the Oldest insur-
ance policy extant and is unique in this
country. This old policy was issued in
1923 under the statutes of Florence and
provided that the insurer must deposit the
before the claim could be contested. The
Georgia law requires that h amount Of
the costs in the case must be deposited be-
in addition, a the policy incontestable
after a year from the death OF the insured.

passed the Dodson bill making life insur-
ance policies non-eontestable after the
first year. The measure also DEGREES that

Timely Topics.
Honolulu, Jan. rs, 1896.

The prophets are at work.
The public is told one day that
if we don't get annexed to the
United States the Hawaiian ISL
ands will go to the "demnition
bow-wow," and next day another
prophet arises and tells us that
we cannot get annexation under
any circumstances and that the
outlook for the abrogation of the
Reciprocity treaty is good.
While listening to these dire
prophecies we notice that the
world moves on and that the
people plod along as usual and
give and take into marriage and
perform other acts of routine.
1t is well, however, to be pre-
pared for the worst and all pru-
dent people should now exercise
the greatest economy in house
hold affairs. The parson, the
ring and brides gown are not
all that is necessary to establish
a household Other things are
wanted in Kitchen and Pantry.
Call at our stores and select your
kitchen furnitures which we
furnish at cheap prices and in
great variety. To-day we make
special mention of the GEM
ICE SHAVERS. These handy
implements will be found very
economical. Instead of breaking
the ice and wasting it, the shaver
will scrape the quantity you
want from the block in an easy
and convenient manner.
The Fish Scaler should also
be found in every kitchen. 1t
saves labor and takes the scales
off a fish as easy and cleanly as
a barber takes the hair off your
husbands chin.
A call at our stores will con-
vince you of the wisdom in
buying from us.

FRIDAY, JAN. %, 1897.
A PLEBEsCITE.

The jubilant utterauces of the Ad-
vertiser and Star because Of the de-
fection OF Messrs Kaulukou and
Hopkins from the cause OF the pa
triotic Hawaiians who oppose annex
alton should encourage the patriots.
The stories OF large accessions Of
Hawaiia1s to the annexation cause
are to be read with caution. The
INDEPENDENT knows that the report
ed enthusiasm at Wailuku and Ka-
neohe meetings showed very care
less handling Of the truth; that the
member of natives who are said to
have signed the rolls OF the annex
ationists is largely exaggerated.
However, it would not be astonish-
ing if the dire distress into which
the Hawaiian has fallen, through
the malignant action Of "the best
government these islands ever had"
and its supporters, and the appar-
ent hopelessness of relief except at
the hands of their oppressors, should
lead some to fall away from their
allegiance to a just cause. Certainly
Mr.. Dole aud his friends cannot
longer refuse TO grant the Hawaiian
an opportunity to prove to the peo-
pie OF the United States, through q
plebescite, that he comes willingly
into the fold OF the great Republic.
By all means let fair ballot show
the number of Hawaiiaps who have
yielded to the oppression of the
forces OF the United States and Sons
of the American mission.

HARPERs WEEKLY NO. IL,

Our friend the leading evening
annexationist journal has some very
brain searching and ingenious work
before it to reply to, and counteract
the influence, of the article in Har-
per's Weekly which The INDEPENDENT
presented to its readers a few days
ago. The argument adduced against
the opinions OF a world famous and
circulated influential newspaper
will prove in the long run to be
trivial in effect The present quasi
protectorate OF the United States
over these islands, the hands off
policy, is far safer for the greater
Republic, in view of possible con-
tingencies, than an absolute control
by possession. Absolute possession,
annexation, might mean "the good

OF the fact that Olney's true Yankee

A prominent official under the
Dole Government, who doesn't sub
scribe for The INDEPENDENT, objected
this morning to our publication Of
the records in certain divorce suit.
We were told that heretofore the
journalism in Hawaii had been
"clean" and that even The INDEPEsD-
ENT had been a paper which could
be introduced into the bosom of the
virtuous families of the strictest
missionaries. The new departure
however was OF such a character
that, If the high official was a sub
scriber, he certainly would discon-
tioue his subscription and simply
read our paper in the saloons, clubs
or barbershops. The high official,
who now advocates "clean" journal
ism has evidently forgotten the
scandalous articles which appeared
in the semi official organ, The Ha-
waiian Star, in which Queen Liliu-
okalani was slandered in the vilest
manner possible. Those papers
were suitable readings for the
daughters of the high officials and
any attempt of redress on the part
OF those slandered was repulsed and
frustrated by this very same high
official. They want to be annexed
to the United States, these high
officials OF Hawai-; but at the
same time American institutions,
general procedures aud mode
of journalism are not wanted
The INDEPENDENT certainly has nc
desire OF justifying its course
in publishing public records. We
can run this Office without any ad-
vice from any high official. We
suggest, however, that the attention
of Attorney General Smith is called
to the fact that on the court records
of this virtuous republic can be
found material which is deemed in
decent, prurient and most sugges-
tive to our daughters. Go and take
