A Light Sentence.

The jury selected at the term of
the Circuit Court sitting in Homo
kaa, Hawaii, found G. Fl. Ruttman
guilty of attempting to murder his
child, and Judge Kalua imposed a
sentence of two years imprison-
ment with hard labor.
The circumstances of the case, as
published at the time OF the offense,
are most revolving.
Ruttman married young half
white girl with whom he had been
intimate. -Four months after the
marriage she gave birth to full
born child. The husband took the
child and threw it into a cesspool,
from which it was rescued alive after
lapse of several hours. The par
ents were arrested and charged with
attempt to murder. The woman was
acquitted by Hawaiian jury, while
the man received the punishment
stated above.
We have not the evidence in the
case before us, hut if the story as
originally published is correct it
seems that Ruttman's punishment
is absolutely inadequate to his
heinous crime. Messrs. Wilder and
Wise were attorneys for the de-
fense,

A Clever Capture.

When special officer VIM. Vida
passed through Pauahi street yester-
day, he noticed a Chinaman who for
sometime has been suspected OF
running che ia bank, holding in
his hand what appeared to be pill.
Vida made a dash for the man
who upon seeing the officer attempt
ed to swallow the pill. He was pre-
vented from doing so and when
Vida examined the spill" he found
it was made from soap and contain

Of a che ia lottery carefully wrapped
in tin foil.
The man was arrested and will
have hearing in the District Court
tomorrow.

for any length OF time, General
SchoGeld became enthusiastic, and
to the astonishment of our agricul-
turists, the following conversation
took place:
General Schofeld.-The produc-
tion of that one island is enormous
You can get food there for a large
army on Oahu alone.
Mr.. Williams. - What do they
raisel
General Schofeld. - Everything;
rice particularly.
Mr.. Berry.-Bananas?
General Schoield.-All the fruits,
aud grains also; and they have re-
Gently adopted system OF artesian
irrigation.
Mr.. Williams,-Do you think we
could adopt system of feeding an
army on rice and bananas?
General Schofeld. - They can
raise potatoes enough to feed hun
dred thousand men on that island.
Mr.. Williams But they do not
raise wheat and breadstuffs, nor
meat?
The Independent., 1898-07-25

There are numerous other inter-
esting statements in the report, to
which we shall refer hereafter. We
make these references to show the
men who desire free government
for Hawaii the necessity of dis
abusing the minds of the Commits
sioners, who have been stuffed with
misrepresentation OF everything
pertaining to Hawaii and the Ha-
waiians.
The Independent., 1898-07-25

The report is interesting indeed,
and it is instructive in that it shows
how the fate Of nation can be de-
cided by misstatements and misin-
formation. The members OF Con-
gress could not know that the re-
port from which they naturally took
their information on the question of
annexation, was bristling with false
hoods and erroneous assertions.
They could not believe for a mo-
ment that men like General Scho-
field and Admiral Walker would go
before them and deliberately mis-
inform them. We say deliberately,
because both the officers claimed to
speak from personal observations,
and neither OF them suggest for a
moment, that he might not be
wellposted in regard to all matters
pertaining to Hawaii.

AN INTERESTING REPORT.

We regret that our space prevents
us from printing in full the report
OF the Committee of Foreign Affairs
of the House of Representatives on
the Joint Resolution, presented by
Mr.. Hit of Illinois, who will shortly
arrive here as one OF the Commits
sioners who are to frame a govern
ment for Hawaii.
The Independent., 1898-07-25

If General Schofeld should get
out of job or pension, we suggest
that he be given charge of the
muchly talked of experimental farm
on.Oahu, simply to show us, where
and how to raise potatoes for 100000
men, where our grains are growing,
and since when Oahu covered with
cane fields from one end to the
other ever became "self-supporting"
as far as the necessaries of life are
concerned.

Now, what reliance can be placed
on the word of man who says that
he is familiar with the Hawsiians
aud yet claims that they are indif-
ferent to their form of government
and that it is immaterial to them,
whether they have representation
or not? Who was it Admiral Walker
visited and listened to while here?
Was it not our rotund friend the
disappointed G. JD2 Ahl that ex-
plains matters.

We publish few of the questions
and answers:
Mr.. Cousins Ito Admiral Walker).
Suppose you have the Hawaiian
Islands thoroughly fortified 80 they
are impregnable 80 far as any fleet
is concerned owned by any other
power, and the inhabitants thereof
should become suddenly dissatisfied
with the Government that then ex-
listed and they should take charge OF
these Notifications, how would you
get them?
Admiral Walker.-I take it for
granted that we should have garri-
sons in those fortifcations-a small
garrison-and, knowing the people
of the Hawaiian Islands as we'll as l
do, / have not the slightest idea
they would ever become dissatisfied
to any such extent as that.
Mr.. Cousins.-Are you pretty well
acquainted with the inhabitants of
Hawaii
Admiral Walker.-I have been out
there at different periods. was
out there forty. five years ago and |
was out there four years ago.
Mr.. Newlands. You do not think
the people of those islands would
regard this as an oppressive Gov
ernment?
Admiral Walker.-No.
Mr.. Cousins.-Provided they have
representation?
Admiral Walker.-That is a mat
ter know very little of, but as far
as l know they do not care whether
they have representation or not.
Mr.. Gillet.-What form of goy-
ernment do they want2
Admiral Walker.-I think they
would be willing to be governed by
the United States. | do not think
they go into details very much.

DEATH OF IL. w. SHAW.

Through telephone message from Mr.
w. B. Stroup, of Glover, yesterday morn
ing, The ENQUIRER was informed of the
sudden death of Mr.. Robert w. Shaw, al
the home of Mr.. Randolph Hagins, some
time during the night.
Mr.. Hagins stated that Mr.. Shaw got
up out of his bed at about IL O'Clock,
Monday night, and left the house. Next
morning, when Mr.. Hagins arose, be
found that Mr.. Shaw was dead. A jury
of inquest rendered verdict to the effect
that death was due to natural causes.
Mr.. Shaw was born near Belair, in Lam
caster county, on November 20, 1920, and
came to York county when about q years
of age. By occupation he was farmer,
and at times also did some work in stone
cutting.
Up to a dozen years ago Mr.. Shaw bad
quite reputation in Yorkville and in bis
neighborhood as most turbulent charac-
ter. 1t used to be his custom to get drunk
almost every time he came to Yorkville,
and when in that condition he was an un-
usually quarrelsome and dangerous char
acter. Many are the heads he has crack
ed in his time, and on more than one oc-
casion his own head has been more or less
seriously cracked by local policemen and
others.
When sober, Mr.. Shaw was quiet and
gentlemanly in his manners, and also was
generous and charitable. The last years
of his life were in considerable contrast
with the long period previously men
toned, and his daily conduct went to
show that he took but little pride in the
reputation he once enjoyed.
Mr.. Shaw went to the war at the out
break of hostilites and served through
until the surrender, part of the time as
intantryman and part Of the time as cav
alryman. Those who are acquainted with
his service say that he made good
soldier

SOUGHT THE ADVANTAGE.

He's a good fellow, and his friends
know him as quite humorist. He is
also something of a philosopher.
1t was last salesday, toward the middle
of the afternoon. The horsetraders were
doing business around the corner at a
lively rate and testing the gaits Of their
animals up and down street.
The individual just referred to stepped
into the editorial room and commenced a
conversation. He found that the editor
was rather busy, and so picking up a
newspaper he amused himself for quite
awhile with that. After while he was
ready to go, and he explained
"I've got horse trade to make before
I 60 out, and have been waiting for
those fellows up there to get good drunk,
so I can get better trade. I haven't
taken drink today; but if I had remain
ed up there with them, would have soon
gotten as drunk as they are, and maybe
they would get the best of the trade.
Now, I am going to fix them, though ;
see if don't"
This is true story with some humor
and a moral. Those who desire to laugh
at it may do so, and those who wish to
use it in temperance lecture, are well
come.

THE COTTON GROWERS.

The meeting Of the York County Cot
ton Growers association met i'm the court
house last Monday pursuant to adjourn
ment of the meeting held on the frs
Monday in January.
Only few representatives of the re
spective townships were present, and a.
the meeting was held in one Of the jury
rooms instead of the courtroom, which
was occupied at the time by the meeting
of Camp Micah Jenkins, the attendance
was quite small. In fact it did not include
as many as dozen all told.
The meeting WAS called to order by
President Williams, and Secretary Ashe
read the minutes of the previous meeting
after which there was a call for the re-
ports of the respective township presi
dents.
Only three townships were represent
ed-Bethesda, Ebenezer and king's
Mountain.
Mr.. p. NJ. Burris, for Bethesda town
ship, reported that he had called meet
ing for the purpose of organization, but
as the day was bad and the attendance
was small, nothing was done.
Mr.. w. J. Miller reported that an or
ganization had been effected i'll Ebenezer
