"Whoth scared?" asked Johnny. who
began 20 feel a sinking OF the knees. while
his heart seemed to rise until II was In
his mouth. and then somebody was push
ing him forward and he saw a lot OF
faces. not one OF which he had ever
seen before. and II was lighter than any
electric searchlight he had ever seen.

roof of his mouth. His hands hung down
as his father suggested. making him look
like a little wooden man. and when he
forgot and stuffed them into his pockets
the audience again applauded. The man
agcr took that opportunity for a stage
whisper.

first line. Then johnny said, in a strange,

If not, why not2

Mr.. S. B. Dole is evidently prac-
ticing the role Of an autocrat, and
he might have succeeded if he had
not adopted antagonistic policy
which even his followers cannot sup
port. The latest action Of Mr.. Dole,
since his return, is his refusal to re-
new the commission OF Mr. @. A.
Brown as a member of the Board OF
Health. Mr.. Brown has served as a
member of the Board during the
past two years without emoluments
or favors. Contemplating to leave
the islands in the near future, he de-
cided to resign his commission,
which expired by limitation Wednes-
day, and he tried to notify Mr. W.
o. Smith, the President OF the Board
of Health, by telephone to that
effect. He failed to connect, but
later on he met Mr.. Smith at the
Pasific Club, where he was informed
that Mr.. Dole had declined to re-
new the commission OF Mr.. Brown
owing to his attitude on the Waikiki
Quarantine matter. 1t will be re-
membered that it became the duty
of.the Government during the Japa-
nese trouble to quarantine Minister
Cooper, Collector Castle and other
officials at Waikiki, and that only
through the vigilance and determin-
alton of Mr.. Brown, the qurantined
men who acted like lot Of school
boys, were made to observe the rules
of quarantine. Mr.. Brown offended
Mr.. Cooper who evidently is "run'
ming" Mr.. Dole, and hence the re-
iusal to renew his commission. II
is unnecessary to publish the answer
of Mr.. Brown to Mr.. Smith, AS q
matter OF fact a message to the
President was submitted, which vir
tually invited Mr.. Dole to stick Mr.
Browns commission up in his whis
kers, or donate it to the Maine Fund

"IF NOT, WHY NoTP"

Beloved A., beloved Starl
Thou art so near aud yet so far
from truth.
Last evenings Star brought annex
alton
To glad the hearts Of all the nation,
And told the joyous, joyous story
How in the morning grand "Old
Glory"
Would wave above our territory,
And everything be hunkydory-
If not, why not?
And there we're heartfelt exclama.
tions,
Hand-shakings and congratulations,
For when the flag our isle should
cover,
And wave in majesty above her,
Our pilikias would be over
And we would live in peace and
clover
If not, why not?
Alasl the cruel, cruel morrow
Brought to the faithful only sorrow,
And some who joyful cries did
utter,
Were heard to softly swear and NUT
ter
While others fumed with bitter
sputter,
And many saints could only stutter
II not, why not2
Alas! for human calculation
And prophecy and speculation
There's nary starry spangled banner
Likely to wave in such a manner
Der taro, cocoa and banana,
That's what the matter is with Han
nah
If not, why not?
Depend not on insane predictions
On Starry fakes and foolish fictions,
And as before let every schemer,
And selfish visionary dreamer
Each loud mouthed annexation
screamer
Keep getting it by every steamer
If not, why not2

AS a matter Of fact there is no in
terest taken by the American Govern
ment or people in regard to the trans
fer OF foreign vessels to Hawaiian
register, and the attempt to make
the matter an important annexation
issue is simply gross and glaring
humbug. The interests of Hawaii
demand that all honest methods
should be employed in increasing the
revenues of the country, enlarging
our commerce and advertising our
flag and our very existence as broadly
as g possibly can. We hope that the
monopolies and their obedisnt SER
wants in the Cabinet will not succeed
in carrying the bill referred to
through the House. 1t is measure
devised in the interest of few local
companies, which make enormous
profits in lieu OF poor service to shut
out any opposition and legitimate
competition which may be proposed

Minister Cooper is arrogating to
himself too much authority alto
gether. He has taken upon himself
the power to refuse to allow a
register to be issued to the steamer
Peter Ibsen, Norwegian steamer
the owners of which desire to place
under the Hawaiian flag. He is again
embroiling the Government with
other powers and concerns and in the
end, he and his government will
again be forced to swallow humble
pie. Minister Cooper may think
that he has influence enough to
cause the passage Of his bill "within
ten days" Allow us to doubt it,
Mr.. Minister. The ten days have
passed, and yet the bill has not be-
come law.

With a Shovel He Tells an Aged Fellow
 Prisoner.
Murder Only Prevented by the Guard, Who Threatened
 to Shoot.
The Old Man Thought to Be Fatally lnjured-Warden Aull at Byron
 Springs.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, March 11.-A most brutal assault to murder was com mitted yesterday at the Folsom Prison. Convict Kelly, man of 70 years, was struck on the head with shovel in the hands of another convict whose name cannot be learned.
 Between the prison and the town of Folsom there Is line of railroad main tained and operated by the State. It is quite section of roadbed and from the fact that considerable traffic passes over 1t, it requires the services of a section gang. This gang is composed of prisoners. Yesterday they were in charge of Guard Hogan. Tn lifting a rail from one side to the other old man Kelly was told to hurry up," or given some command similar in terms by an- other prisoner. To this Kelly made some reply and immediately received a blow just back of the ear by one of the convicts with whom he was working The old man uttered a cry and fell to the ground. Maddened with rage his as- satlant followed up the blow with an- other, and not until Guard Hogan threw cartridge into the barrel of his rifle and threatened to shoot did the would-be murderer withhold his mur QeTOuS purpose.
 Kelly was carried to the prison hos pital and cared for. So serious was his condition last night that Father Hunt of Sacramento was sent for to administer to the spiritual wants of the old convict, who declared he could not survive the blow. To-day he ral- lied somewhat, but tonight he Is in precarious condition and his death is expected any hour.
 No information concerning the affair could be obtained at the prison, but this account is vouched for by pas senger who arrived in the city tonight. Kelly was an inoffensive old man and a model prisoner while his assailant is very vicious and dangerous.
 Coyne, who participated with Brown in the counterfeiting affair, published exclusively in The Call of to-day, has been consigned to solitary confinement. It should be said, in justice to the off, cers at Folsom, that the capture of Coyne and Brown was a clever piece of work.
 All of the officers are very reticent about everything occurring at the prison now on account of the absence of War den Aull, who Is now at Byron Springs under the advice of his physician. and while his ailment is only a passing one 1t is, nevertheless, sufficient to give some apprehension to his friends.
