The Federal Court Spends All Of Yes
terday on One Case.
The federal court whitfield away all
day yesterday in the consideration OF
tne case against W. II. Robinson and
j. G. Carr, of Halifax county, who are
charged with using the mails for fraud
ulent purposes. This is the most inter
esting and perhaps the most important
case that has or will come up during
this term of the court.
The case is being vigorously prose
cuted and the defendants are both rep
resented by able counsel.
Mr.. Carr's lawyers are Mr.. Bell, OF
Halifax county. and Jones q Boyllin,
Of Raleigh, and Mr.. Robinson is repre-
sented by Messrs. Day & McRae Of
Raleigh. There are witnesses here
from far away. Among them Mrs. II.
Martin, a full-blooded Cherokee nation
native, all the way from her native
home. The defendants are charged with
q sort of a ''green goods" game, but
the charge is being very vigorously
protested and the defendants very ably
defended.
There is one other important case to
come IN after this one the defend
ant being c. Il. Lee who is charged
with embezzlement--the filching from
the United States mail of a registered
package containing a gold watch. In
this case there are two witnesses who
came all the way from Hoyt, Kansas.
They are William Il. Rippetoe and his
daughter. Miss Florie Rippetoe. These
two witnesses have already arrived IN
the city.
1t was said by a Republican last night
that during the whole week Of the court
there had been only one conviction, this

II may be well to understand that
municipal government" as mentioned
in the American papers re Annexation
Of Hawaii does not of necessity, or does
not at all mean or imply city alder
men and the like.
With the alarm created about the
throne by the echoes of French, British

that Outrages upon missionaries in
China will cease. The Emperor has is
sued a last warning" edict, in which
it is recited that he Will be strict and
stern with those mOlesting mission

mean that when missionaries are
bothered Chinese heads Will drop.
Japanese sake brewers are in dis
treSs. They have half OF last years
stock on hand yet. Strangely enough
the embarrassment of the japanese
brewers is due almost entirely to com
petition of Chinese liquor distillers.
Portions of the commercial anatomy of

of the whole scheme of philanthropic
work here. the schools and this college
remain as the crowning work.
Out of the sixty millions of dollars
paid out in bonus to the planters Of
Hawaii" for their sugars, as Mr.. Sher-
man said it, only a mite of it has been
expended in fostering this institution,
in making it the great educational in
stitution of Polynesia, the one lasting
and imperial monument TO the memory
of the Fathers, a pledge of the faith
men here have in Christian civiliza-
ton, and the reign Of law.
Why more has not been expended
and the growth of this institution is
arrested may be due to the demoraliz-
ing spirit of prosperity which feeds on
what it wants, and promotes luxury
and high living rather than plain liv-
ing and cOntentment.

ASHFORD'S ADVICE.

Mr. c. w. Ashford, now in self eX-
lie, in a letter to a local contemporary,
the official defender of the 'IosJ
cause" impressively urges the natives
to stay in the last ditch if they can
find it, and to multiply bitches if they
can, and stay in them. He advises
them not to enlist in the American
army, because it may be used to su5due
the insurgents Of the Philippines. Such
a proceeding will be, he says, only a
repetition of what the Americans have
done in Hawaii.
This trumpet note of appeal to the
natives to make faces at Uncle Sam
shows how justly Mr.. Ashford ap-
preciates the unlimited power of the
natives to make it hot for Uncle Sam
even with his army and navy behind
him. 1t is quite in the order of the
advice Of "Shack-Nasty-Jim," the In
dian warrior of the lava beds, that his
tribe should simply wipe out the army
Before striking an attitude before
the natives, whom he was quite willing
to betray in 1887, he might suggest
patriotic squaring of accounts between
the natives and Liliuokalani, and eff
fectually end her complaint that from
the beginning to the end of the Over
throw she did not receive lone dollar
from them in aid and comfort.
In stirring the natives up to hatred
of Uncle Sam he reminds MS of the old
stage driver, who lost his Job after
railways were built, and spent his de-
Ginning years in Sticking his dog at
the locomotive every time it passed
his home

Is HE "PRESIDENT? "

Some who are more troubled with
things, are under an unusual strain
over the proper title which should be
given to Mr.. Dole at the present time.
AS the Islands are no longer a Repub-
lie, but merely a territory, such per-
sons feel as if they were liable to ar
rest and imprisonment for crime if
they failed to designate and use the
appropriate title. The prevailing dis
tress in the community ought to be al
leviated. There was, indeed, a gross
and inexcusable lack of craftsmanship
manifested in the Joint Resolution, in
the omission of a paragraph designat-
ing Mr.. Dole's title. Does it invalidate
the entire document, and must the
work of annexation be begun again?
The Joint Resolution declares that
our municipal laws shall continue in
full force until changed by Congress.
AS these municipal laws designated
Mr.. Dole as President he must there
fore remain President. He cannot es-
cape from it. Even if he desires to be
called Governor" or "Cap'n," or even
BOSS" he is barred by the law
president" he was, and President he
must be, until Congress rises in it's
grandeur and a BE it enacted" etc,
plunges him down to the frightfuI
depths of an ordinary governorship, or
as the Tired" men hope, into the
black waters of oblivion.
1t is urged that the Republic does
not exist and therefore he cannot be
President of it.
The word president designates one
who conducts, manages, or executes
It is the title of an executive officer
only. 1t does not signify any special
function An insurance company
railway corporation, a base ball club
have presidents. The executive of a
State. is in every respect a president
but usage calls him governor.
Then until the Supreme Court of the
United States settles the question OF
title, persons with consciences in the
acute stage may safely speak of Pres
ident' Dole.
