SONG OF LIBERTY.

Across the land-frOm strand to strand
Loud ring the bugie notes,
And freedoms smile from isle to ISLE
Like freedoms banner floats.
The velvet wales sing ''Liberty!'
To answering skies serene;
The mountains, slOping to the sea,
Wave ali their flags of green
The rivers. rushing to the deep
The joyful notes prolong.
And all their waves in glory leap
To that immortal sOng
One song of liberty and life
That was, and is to be
Till tyrant flags are trampled rags
And al the world is free.
1t rises, and an echo comes
From chained and troubled isles,
And roars like oceans thunder drums
W here glad Columbia smiles.
Where. throned and great she sits in state
Beneath her flag of stars,
Her heroes blood the sacred flood
That crimsoned all its bars.
Hail to our country! Strong she stands,
Nor fears the war drums beat;
The sword of freedom in her hands
The tyrant at her feet!

FIND DYNAMITE AT THE 500.
Perhaps Plot to Blow Up the Ship Canal
Locks

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, May Olive
sticks of dynamite, fused and capped, all
ready to explode, were found Saturday
in vacant shed on Water street, near
the canal locks. 1t is thought possible
that the explosive was intended to be used
in an attempt to blow out the gates of the
locks by a Spanish agent. Extraordinary
vigilance is being exercised on the canal
by order of the war department Watch
men on the locks stop all people carrying
suspicious looking packages. It would be
comparatively an easy matter to destroy
government property here worth millions
with a few sticks of dynamite.

of a pound, a sufficient bayonet, two

1t is very we'll for the Judge to
tell these ignorant slaves, that they
are men, and certainly must have
known what they did when they
agreed to go to Hawaii, and that
they must have understood where
Hawaii was on the map of the world
The judge and the attorneys in the
case are men of high intellect
and superior education, but we are
ready to gamble that none Of
them had more idea of the location,
geographical and historical condi-
tions of the homes of those Slavs
than the men had of Hawaii. The
men all claim that they left their
homes with the understanding that
each should work at his trade, as
carpenters, shoemakers, blacksmiths,
turner's, ETC., ETC., for the sum of 36
horins ($l8) month. The agent
who did this "black- birding" in
civilized country did not tell the
men that they would be sweated in
the cane fields in the company of
Chinese coolies; that they would be
abused and kicked by their over
seers, and that when they had
grievance, they could find no re-
dress anywhere, because their
"owner" was the representative of
their government, the owner Of the
vessel that brought them here, and
the owner Of the plant alton where
they were ordered to strip cane and
hoe the fields together with Asiatic
coolies.
