AS Others See It.

A strong remonstrance was made be-
fore Judge Endicott at Mays Landing
yesterday against granting tavern
license to NJ w. Early at the corner OF
the turnpike and the Shore Road.
Od-time temperance advocates like
Isaac Collins, Peter B. Risley, Isaac
Andrews, Amariah Lake aud local min
listers and Others were there with a long
remonstrance against it on general prin-
ciples, not on account of the place OF
man.
The petition seemed to be in regular
form and Mr.. Early claims there is need
of a public house where both man and
beast can be entertained conveniently.
Judge Endicott intimated that it is the
policy of the state to grant license un-
less there was some defect in the paper or
the character of the applicant.
The hearing will be continued on April
25.
Were Pleasantville an incorporated
city, council would have the power to
control the license and not the court

move forward with any appreciable
degree of progress until il has first class

that it is directly upon the main route
from Philadelphia to the seashore,
should have something better than two

York state, where he will spend his summer
vacation Among the prominent institutions
OF OF the islands, and foremost of those of
Honolulu, is the ohan college, founded by
an American missionary society many years
ago. In discussing the probable annexation
OF the islands, Prof. Colston said:
annexation can only be looked upon as
the logical outcome of the question as now
being considered in congress. Since the
United States accepted the islands as coal
ing station it is in honor bound to redeem
itself by taking the islands. The foreign
population is dominant, the Americans be-
ing IN the majority, followed in numbers by
the Germans and English. When several
regiments Of the boys in blue landed in
Honolulu under Gen. Anderson, June s. the
natives ran out and cheered the soldiers.
Later rumor was quite generally circulate
ed 20 the effect that the islands had been
annexed. The natives also cheered when this
news was received.
mand were royalty received in Honolulu The
legislative halls were thrown open SO the
American soldiers could write home and the
women OF the place bedecked the boys with
garlands of flowers, and during their stay
the citizens gave them many dinners and

Many have gone from the islands to this
country to eSlist in the army at San Fran

when it comes to an expression of the
sentiments Of the residents of Honolulu upon
the Spanish American difficulty, the popula-
