did when they Grove out coaches.
He lclieyos that III the country dis

canals have done in Holland and make
communication so easy that the rush of
perishablc produce to market will be
greatly quickened and increased. They
will change the whole face of war, he
thinks, and be used TO move guns and
do all transport work.

THE BICYCLE.

The livery stables all over TIE
country are kicking at the bicycle
dealers for renting out wheels on
the Sabbath They say their busl-
ness is ruined by the wheel. There
is no doubt but what they have
been cut out Of many dollar by
the wheel being adopted, as a ve-
hicIe OF pleasure and at the same
time one that will carry you over
the ground faster than the average
livery stock Then the price is in
favor Of the bicycle, for you can
rent one for 25 cents an hour ana
two hours ride is all one wishes to
take at any one time, while the
livery stable man charges three
times this much for team We
think the wheel as now ridden will
give way for the horseless motors
cycle and in ten years from now
the bicycle will be known only in
memory We are an inventive peo,
pie and all eyes are now turned to
the motorcycle as the means for
future travel over road and streets,

having signed the above article,
which is a portion of the Annexa-
ton Treaty, it hardly seems an
honest thing for this Government
to go to work and organize a city
government which would fall heir
to certain public buildings" and
"other public property" which
were already assigned to the United
States.
There may be very cogent reasons
why this city government should
be organized, but they have not
been put forth. A few people may
have been consulted, but the leaders
of the annexation party have not.
AS has often been stated in these
columns, the Government should
keep in touch with the people. If il

Everything connected in the re-
hottest way with the Hawaiian
Islands is eagerly watched both in
the United States and in England.
An article appeared in these COL
umns relative to the occupation of
Palmyra Island by the men Of the
Penguin, now in port, which was
widely copied, and soon set both
sides of the Atlantic hunting up
the rights of the matter. The
question was, whether the island
belonged to the Hawaiian group or
not. Geographically, of course it
does not; but Judge Wilcox and
his partners claim that the island is
their property. However, much
research has proved the right of
Great Britain to the island. The
place is not worth anything save as
a cable station, and in the laying
of the trans Pacific cable this will
probably be one of the stations
The annexation Of a number Of
small islets in the South Pacific has
been undertaken for the same rea-
son. The interesting part about
the Palmyra episode is the keen
interest taken in so small an affair
Since the signing of the Annexa-
ton Treaty the Pacific islands have
doomed up in the political horizon,
and every country having interests
in this ocean keeps its eyes peeled,
and carefully scrutinizes the doings
of others.

horse shoes at the same price
as you can get ordinary iron
shoes for. This brand of
horse shoes is universally
admitted to be unrivalled in
every respect. The extra
fine material, and superior
workmanship recommend them
to every farrier who prides
himself on his work.
The general shape of the
shoe fulflls the latest and
most approved ideas of prac-
tical horseshoers. They are
smooth and uniform, the con-
cave is made to conform to
the horses hoof; the creasing
neat, punching clean and prop
erly done, and they are in
short, the finest and best
shaped and cheapest shoes on
the market.
In the matter of nails, you
can have a choice of Putnam,

quite a new brand, but has
quickly worked it's way to the
front, through pure merit.

1t is not going to be all smooth
sailing even after one has got the
gold out of the Klondyke mines.
The hardships of getting there, the
hardships Of living while one is
getting out ones gold, and the
hardships of getting it down to the
coast, have all been understood but
there is one more little incident in
the gold-seeker's career which has
not been discounted, viz, sea
marauders. Requests are now in
for revenue-c cutters to take charge
of the gold-laden steamers leaving
Alaskan waters August IS, Sep
TENDER S, and September IS. The
report is that Chinese pirates are
expected. Why Chinese pirates are
expected is not very clear. The
Celestial sea-rover does not come
much further north than the Peiho,
and his vessels are not adapted for
long voyage even though there is
a So, 900, 900 strike at the end of it.
But the temptation is strong, and
the number of the impecunious and
desperate is large enough upon the
coast itself to tempo band to run
up the black flag. The danger is
evidently real enough, from what
ever direction it may come, for the
United States Government has al
lowed the request, and the return
ing steamers will be protected.

BELIEVES IN IT.

Senator Morgan is pretty thor
oughly posted on Hawaiian affairs
already, and his trip hither will
only add to his store of knowledge.
In an interview from Washington,
the Senator is reported as very san
guine about the treaty. He said
that there is no doubt that the
Annexation Treaty would be acted
on favorably by the Senate next
session, and added /" There is no
organized opposition, and no oppor-
tunity to form such an opposition.
There is no ground upon which it
could be built"
These are more sanguine words
than have been given forth by any
of the supporters of the annexation
cause. The ultimate triumph of
the cause has always seemed posi-
BILE, but that there should be no
organized opposition to it has not
been thought possible. Yet Senator
Morgan must be conversant with
affairs in Westinghouse all events
almost as conversant as the pessi-
mistic writer in morning contem-
porary. Senator Morgan seems
ready to march with drums beating
and colors flying, and with every
idea that his cause is going to win
a victory. He does not throw cold
water upon his followers, and they
will work none the less ably for his
cause because they have chief
who believes in it.
From Minister Damon one learns
that the annexation cause is a gen
eral topic of conversation through
out the States, and, from numerous
private letters, the same story is
told. Annexation is a live topic
even now Congress has adjourned,
and it rests with the workers for
the cause to keep it live topic
during the recess.
There is no lack of willing work
ers for the cause of annexation, and
they are quite ready to sacrifice
both time and money to the cause.
We have such workers here, and
we have them in the United States
and the workers here are most
anxious to keep filth with the
workers there. The efforts made
here are guided by those who, at
least, think they understand the
situation, and who firmly agree
with Senator Morgan that the
treaty will be favorably acted upon
by the Senate. They do not go as
far as the Senator in believing that
there is no organized opposition, but
they believe that the opposition can
be overcome, and that it will be
overcome. All these efforts may be
vain, but the supporters do not
think so ; and the next four months
will see the best work yet put in
in the annexation cause, even to
losing dinner for three weeks,
which, according to contempt
rary, is the greatest sacrifice that
can be made. But, bless the con-
temporary's heart, there are many
of us who don't get any dinner at
all any time-simply have a pie
beian tea, and are glad enough 10
get that Never mind, we will
sacrifice our tea if necessary.
