STRETCHING THEIR PowERs.

Is it not rather stretching the
chords of international comfy for
our Oligarchical Government, as it
is termed in the United States and
abroad, to assume that treaty
which has not yet been ratified by
either of the party-signatories
thereto is valid obligation, and
practically component part of the
law OF this sovereign and independ-
ent land. The actions OF our rulers
savor too much of the autocratic
despotisms Of Russia and Germany

THAT SECRET DEBATE.

William A, Kinney, who went to
Washington at the instance of Mr.
Dole, says as the result OF his mis- q.
sion:
"The administration has so ar
ranged the Hawaiian question that
it will be brought up at the open.
ing Of Congress in December. As |
understand it no commission will be
appointed, as everything will be in
the shape of arguments. 1t is my
candid opinion that the debate on
the annexation proposition will con-
tinue for several weeks in the Sem
ate before final vote is taken. The
debate on the treaty will be secret,
but a gist Of what is said is invari-
ably published"
We can understand that Presi-
dent Mckinley prefers not to let
tn outside world know the Hawai-
ian case as it will be presented by
the opponents OF annexation, for it
will present page in history that
Americans will have cause to blush

THE JACKAss BRAYING

The Annexationists are clutching
at straws again. This time they
publish a letter from Celso Caesar
Moreno to his former protege,
Robert Wilcox, which reads as fol.
lows:
"My dear Wilcox:
81 always Postponed wiiting to
you because | desired to give you
exact Information,
"This morning l had long con
versation with Senator Q. X, Davis,
Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations OF the Senate, who
positively told me that the die is
cast and Hawaii will be annexed.
"We spoke about Hawaii and Ha
waiians, and Senator Davis appeared
to be well in nformed about men and
things in Hawaii, and we spoke at
length about you.
Senator Davis is one of the most
prominent Senators, and is friendly
to the Hawaiians, aud his name and
person ought to be popular and re-
spected among all of you native
Hawaiians
81 am sorry-deeply sorry-that
the Hawaians will lose their poll
tical autonomy for the blunders of
others, and it appears to me to be
the fatal fate Of the Hawaiian rulers
to be misled by small men at home
and abroad.
"You and other prominent Ha-
waiians should form a League for
the purpose OF persuading all the
natives, as the die is cast, to vote for
annexation to the United States,
"The idea that the native Hawai-
ians will be treated by the United
States in the same manner that the
Indians are treated in America is
simply absurd, and the Hawaiians
will enjoy all the rights and priyi-
leges Of any other American citizen,
irrespective of race and color or
creed.
"You should inform all your coun-
trymen in public meeting and
through the press, in the Hawaiian
and English languages, of this pros
peotive, and on their part the abort
ginists Of Hawaii must be loyal citi-
zsns to the great American Re-
public.
"Bs assured that President Nc
Kinley and the great American
people will treat the Hawaiians as
they deserve. | heard these very
words from the mouth of the philo-
sopher Senator Davis, in whose
hands and wisdom the annexation
treaty is entrusted.
"You and others accept my sug-
gestions, and you may in a near
future render valuable services TO
your race and country.
"From the never changing friend.

take any advice from such source

Tile KeWalO Bicycle Track

Tile Kewalo Bicycle Track
is at last a reality and "not a
dream,' thanks to the energy
and enterprise of Mr.. Desky.
The track is fast approaching
completion, and all will want
to try issues on it. This is
sure to occasion a run on bicy-
cles, and in anticipation of
such a run we have quietly
laid in a good stock of TRI-
BUNE BICYCLES than
which there is none better in
the market. The TRIBUNE
is now recognized in the
United States as the BEST,
it is the favorite with all the
society people and business
men of San Francisco, and
our own American Minister
rides one. Recent advices
announce a cut in prices of
lower grade wheels, but the
high grade wheels still sell
readily at the former list price.
We have made better arrange
ments with the manufacturers,
whereby we are enabled to
sell the Tribune Bicycles at
list price Sl00 and invite all
intending purchasers Of wheels
to come and inspect our stock
before going elsewhere. We

The Star writer pretends to look
upon the adherence of Mr., Moreno
to the annexation cause as a wonder,
while he is no doubt honestly Won
dering how much the Hawaiian
Commissioners had to pay for the
letter. The Star writer then goes
on to say:
"Another truth he enunciates is,
that the Hawaiian will be treated
we'll as a citizen of the United
States. This has never needed cor
roboration, but, coming from the
source it does, the corroboration
will he of value in Hawaiian eyes.
Undoubtedly it will be a wise thing
for the Hawaiian to declare himself,
fully and freely, on the side of an
nexation."

We congratulate ourselves and
condole with our friends, the an

that Moreno has such a savory
record in Hawaii Oo say nothing Of
abroad), that when he was Minis

The Hawaians and their true
friends may find food for thought
in the letter OF Bishop Turner, an
African, published in the Boston
Transcript, and which will be found
on our first page in morrow's
issue. The letter may also possess
some interest for Mr.. Dole and
those planters who profess desire
to colonize negroes in Hawaii; for
the Bishop advises the negro "to
flee from the wrath to Gomez

Chinese Money.

A kind of Chinese money which is
largely manufactured and sold is worthy
of mention, although the traveller need
not trouble himself with it except as a
curiosity This is prepared for the spe-
oial purpose of burning at the graves of
deceased relatives as AN Offering to the
dead. The denizens of the other world
are supposed to require and to be capa-
BILE of receiving money in this way, but
the Chinaman is far too practical per-
son TO part in such a fashion with the
currency of the empire, Instead he buys
for few cash large supply of sill
vered and gilded pieces of paper or of
imitation coins blocked out of cardboard.
Although these have no purchasing
power ON earth, they are supposed to
count for much in the transactions of
the spirit world BY this practice one is
reminded of an old story of miser who
left his belongings to his son ON condi-
ton that a certain sum of money should
be buried in the coffin with him. The
son was, however, a chip of the old
block and carried out his father wishes
by placing in the coffin crossed check
for the required amount, assured that it
had little chance of being presented at
his banker S. Chambers Journal

A Child Among Lions.

A sheep herder on Caspar noun
tain, in Wyoming. arose one morning
at daylight, as usual, and followed
his flock, leaving his wife and little
two year old child sleeping in camp
When he returned at O'Clock for
breakfast the woman was still fast
asleep and the badly was gone. 1t
had awakened and toddled off in its
nightdress. A search was at once
made for the little one, and its bare
foot tracks were found leading to a
spring nearly mile away. Near the
spring were also found tracks of a
huge mountain lion No other trails
of the babe were found. The little
children of our cities are many OF
them wandering among lions. Many
parents sleep in indifference or false
security, while their children wander
away and are destroyed. The Psalm
ist said on one occasion OF fearful
trial my soul is among lions" But
it is sad thing to let the little ones
toddle into the lions mouth through
the indifference of those who ought
to protect them.

science utiIlzes An dc ox.

In an article on the wonders Of
the Worlds Waste, William George
Jordan, in the October Ladies' Home
Journal, details how science at the
present day utilities the OK. Not
many years ago. he says, when an
OK was slaughtered forty per cent of
the animal was wasted: at the present
time nothing is lost but its dying
breath. AS but one.third of the
weight Of the animal consists of
products that can be eaten, the ques-
ton Of utilizing the waste is a serious
one. The blood is used in refining
sugar and in sizing paper, or manu-
featured into door knobs and buttons.
The hide goes to the tanner; horns
ard hoofs are transformed into combs
and buttons; thigh bones, worth
eighty dollars per ton, are cut into
handles for clothes brushes; fore leg
bones sell for thirty dollars per ton
for collar buttons. parasol handles
and lewelry; the water IN Wnlcn bones
are boiled is reduced to glue; the dust
from saving the bones is food for cat
tie and poultry; the smallest bones
are made into boneblack. Each loot
Yields quarter of a pint of meats
foot oil; the tail goes to the SOUP;
while the brush of hair at the end of
the tail is sold to the mattress maker.
The choicer parts OF the fat make the
basis Of butterine; the intestines are
used for sausage castings or bought by
gold heaters. The undigested foed
in the stomach, which. formerly cost

destroy, is now made into papel !

From a Barrel Of Flour.

A Barton county GVt.) farmer is said
to have wife who is the envy Of the
community. From one barrel Of -four
she made last year one hundred and
fifty pies of all kinds. FIVE chicken
pies, ninety apple-duruplings, eighty
six loaves Of bread. one thousand bis
cults, one hundred dozen doughnuts,
eleven jelly-rolls, two gross Of ginger
snaps, four hundred cookies. three
hundred pancakes, and six dozen
gems. What say housewives to
this record? Is it extraordinary, or
can it be beaten? The difficulty is
that few persons keep account Of
articles produced in the kitchen, and
no one realizes what busy woman
can do in a year, or with barrel Of
flour. If more such accounts were
kept, some husbands would hold their
wives in greater respect. New York

GREATNESS UNDERvALUED.

Shakespeare, Scott and Mrs. siddons Were
Not Wonders Once.
In these modern days, when the most
extravagant laudations are paid by lit
tie cliques to little poets and mediocre
actors, and the language Of eulogy is
exhausted on what seems very small
provocation, it is difficult to picture a
time when not only the minor bard and
the second class actors were severely
dealt with, but even the best and great
est We're exposed to irreyerent criticism.
Robert Greene, who, however, was in
the same line of business (''wrote him
self'), declared his contemporary
Shakespeare TO be can upstart crow,
who, i'll his own conceit, was the only
shakescene in the country Dryden
wrote of the bard of Avon: He writes
in many places below the dullest writ
ers of our or any preceding age. Never
did any author precipitate himself from
such heights of thoughts to such low
expressions He is the Janus of poets,
and you have scarcely time to admire
one face ere you despise the other +"
Coming nearer to our own times, it
is generally, but quite enormously, sup
posed that the Waverly novels were re-
ceived with a universal accord Of ac-
claim on their first appearance, but this
is by no means the case. In many Of
the contemporary organs of criticism
they were damned with faint praise, +"
and in some even without it.
Mrs. Siddons, again--a statue TO
whom was uncovered in Paddington by
Sir Henry lrving-is supposed to have
taken the town by storm and to have
been at once acknowledged the queen Of
her profession. Yet Horace Walpole,
admitting her great talents by no
means expressed himself with such en-
thusiasm "She pleased me beyond my
expectation, but not up to the admira-
ton of the ton, two or three whom We're
in the same box with me. ~ Mr..
Crawford asked me if / did not think

genteel.
Thus, you see, all my objections are
very trifling, but what l really wanted
