from these twin plaques, we quote
from an article in the Atlanta Con.
stltulion over the signature of Col.
A. b. Shepperson:
The writer starts out bv show.
ing the density of midas popula.
ton. With only 10000 miles of
territory, or barely halt that of
inc United States, he shows that
India sustains over 3OO,OOO,OOO
souls, or nearly five times as many
as this country. In some of the
densely crowded agricultural dis
tricts. there are 1000 inhabitants
10 the square mile mile. Many of
the Indian farms are barely large
enough to afford a living to their
occupants even in the prosperous
tunes, and in the northern portion
OF the province there are $4,000.

ments, leaving only q small num-
Der, comparatively speaking, en-.
gagged in other pursuits, and with
such preponderating element de-
pendent upon the soil, it lie not
surprising that the famine's work
should have been so destructive.
Comparing the recent famine
with the one which devastated the
country in 1S76!'7S, the writer
shows that the former visitation
extended over only 200, 900 square
miles, while the one of last year
embraced $4,000 square miles.
The number of inhabitants exposed
to the former plague was only &c.
5000; TO the latter, 5000, 900.
With reference to the bubonic
fever, which started in Bombay
last August, Colonel Shepperson
states that thousands of victims
wcro added to the list of those Cur
ried off by the famine and that
over half a million persons de.
serted their farming lands 10 escape
the frightfuI ravages of the fever.
Tho greatest number of deaths re-
corded in single week as the re-
suit of this latter plague was 1911
for the week ending February 9,
1897. Since that time there has
been q steady decline in the nrm.
Der of deaths resulting from fever,
but the suffering cntailej upon the
country by the failure of last years
crops is still marked.

THE NEW MINISTER.

Now the Annexation Club and its
supporters are shouting because OF
the appointment of Mr. Harold
Sewall to the position of United
States Minister to Hawaii. 1t is
still true that drowning men clutch
at straws." The appointment OF
Mr.. Sewall has no more significance
in its bearing upon the policy Of
annexation by the United States
than the appointment OF Mr.. Blount
would have upon the policy Of res
toration of the Monarchy by the
Government of the United States.

therefore that if you want to
get the pith out of enjoyment
you must go it while you're
young. That is where we can
help you for our cycles for young

girls and boys will outspeed the
cycles of grandfather Time.
For example;
We have just a few of those
celebrated TRIBUNES with the
latest improvements left over
from the Australia's importation.
They are beautiful in Maroon
or black with gold trimmings.
They are dandy's daisies, and
invariably up to date. Then
we also have all grades and
classes of wheels, and at all
prices; the best the market can
give. Take for instance THE
STORMER you can have this
at $75, and you will be well
pleased with it after your in
spection. 1t has all the most re-
cent improvements Then there
is the COLUMBUS another
beauty in Olive Green and Gold
with Wooden Handles with Cork
Grasps. This goes for $75 also.
Another wheel, that is very
highly spoken of the United
States, is the B & H SPECIAL
which we can let you have for
500. We also have one or two
of the famous "ZIMMIES" that
you may like. We have few

If Hawaii loses the reciprocity
treaty the country can thank the
present government for what will
prove little less than a national
calamity. The indiscretion and lack
Of tact OF the men selected to re-
present Hawaii aud more especially
the people directly interested in the
treaty or in annexation are simply
marvellous. The bombast OF Mr..
Thurston when he threatens the
United States with bringing his
Hawaiian goods to some other
market II not purchased by the
American Govern ment is simply
disgusting and covers him and Hs-
waii with ridicule and contempt.
One OF Mr.. Dole's Cabinet Ministers
told the writer few weeks ago that
1--WE have given the States until the
end OF this year, to make up their
mind to annex ue or not, III they
don't we will open negotiations
elsewhere" 1t is that kind of talk
which creates enemies in Washing

and begging for admission saying

A grave and reverend Senator Of
the United States has admitted that
to abrogate the treaty Of reciprocity
with Hawaii and continue to hold
Pearl Harbor would place the Unit
ed States in such a position that
they could not look any other ma
tion in the face without blushing.
How much less then can the United
States annex Hawaii after having by
force of arms deposed the Queen
and overthrown the Monarchy Of
Hawaii.

THE INDEPENDENTS latest informa.
ton is to the effect that the treaty
of reciprocity will not be abrogated;
that the Senators who desire abro-
cation will yield this point to those
Senators who believe that Pearl
Harbor cannot be held after abro-
CATION OF The treaty; but that the
advantages accruing to Hawaii un-
der the terms Of the treaty will be
so limited as to make the advant-
ages more truly reciprocal as be-
tween the two countries. There are
still some few persons who believe
that Pearl Hsrbor may be OF some
use to maritime Power. The ten
acity with which the supposed ad-
vantages of the retention Of Pearl
Harbor are held to hardly justifies
the hopes of annexstionists, for OBJ
vious reasons.

Now it transpires that one OF the
counsel in the case, in reading the
decision filed, found that the reason

This discovery was communicated

withdrawal of the decision for re-

in the decision originally fled, but

DIFFICULTY TO BELIEVE.

Rumors are current that affect the
righteousness OF the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the matter Of the
estate OF John Ii. This time the
Supreme Court consisted Of Asso-
ciate Justice Whiting, and Messrs
w. r. Castle and Paul Neumann,
members OF the bar, who were call
ed in because the Chief Justice and
Associate Justice Frear were dis
qualified. The Advertiser stated a
few days since that the decision had
been filed with the Clerk OF the
Court and afterwards stated that
the decision had been recalled by
the Court in order to correct clerical
errors.
