Our contemporaries are full of
patriotic poetry and tributes to the
warriors of the United States and to
Stars and Stripes. Listen to what
the poetess of The INDEPENDENT
sings to
"oLD GLORY"
We love thee sold Glory" the flag
of our land,
With thy Stars, Bars and Stripes
as of old,
When thy staff is held in a patriots
hand,
p We prize thee more dearly than
gold.
But thy dear folds we're sullied a
few years ago
And conspirators, hands were then
seen
To unfurl our fond emblem, DER
Hawaii we know,
And by force robbed the throne
from its Queen.
II such be thy mission, and such be
thy fate
1t will cause all true patriots to
grieve,
For Justice and Honor and Love,
but not Hate,
Were its emblems, we were taught
to believe.
Better pull down sold Glory" for
which patriots fought
And run up the "Black Flag" in
its place;
That pirates will do when a vessel
is caught
They're consistent, at least, to
their race.
Let's pull down our Churches, the
College and School,
And teach all our children to steal;
Then turn to some leaders elected
to rule,
And ask each one how he would
feel.
If some stronger Nation against our
appeal
Would seize our dear patriot
"MacW
Shut him up in the White House,
for mile hear him squeal
And the "Whte House" and
Treasury" sack,
Then ruler place over us, one who
would dole"
Out, what fishes and fowls, we
should eat,
And if some protested, for the good
of the whole,
He would send us more men from
his fleet.
Then arrest all our rulers, we had
placed in control
Such as "Benjamin," "Grover" and
MARK"
Then Danish them all for the good
of each soul,
And imprson them should they
come back.
o! Consistency, what a jewel thou
art,
In the crown Of true Christian be-
lief,
But Success" is the goal of the
Diplomats heart,
If obtained from receiver OF. thief,

The soldiers have been we'll treat
ed here. They have as whole been
we'll behaved, but familiarity breeds
contempt. There are some Of the
garrison who are tired of remaining
here, and many of them who don't
"give damn" There are men
among them who eventually will be
worth millions Of dollars, and who
are simply here because their kind
relations persuaded them to enlist,
in the hope that they would be shot
or catch the yellow fever, the lep-
rosy or the Snakes" Such men care
for nothing, but thanks to the gods,
they are not in majority among
the brave American soldiers who
honor women, respect property and
protect every living being against
wanton, injury and insult.

A prominent official living beyond
Diamond Head, found a soldier on
his verandah about 10 O'Clock p. m.
He demanded to know his business
and was answered: 81 suppose we
have the right to 60 around and
take view of things" The soldier
got the choice to leave or accept an
introduction to a very nasty bull
dog, which resides with the official.
The "brave" wisely declined the
proffered acquaintanceship and

Out in Kalihi, two Hawaiian
women rescued young Chinese girl,
who was being dragged away by two
men, dressed in the honored uni
form of the United States army.
They only allowed the poor terri
fed girl to escape, when the brave
and courageous women dubbed
them into submission.
At the residence of very pro-
minent Hawaiian in Manoa Valley,
squad of soldiers made their appear
ance. The proprietor was in his
Office in the Executive building.
His wife and children were calling
on their friends in town, and only
young niece of the proprietor was at
home. She was game however. The
soldiers demanded pineapples, She
told them to go to the vegetable
gardens, as there were no fruits for
sale at the residence of her uncle.
They said that they preferred to
stay where they were, and that they
would camp there as long as they
pleased. The girl told them that, if
they didn't clear out at once, she
would telephone for her uncle, and
they would be made to go. The
> brave stand of the little girl cowed
them and the men, dressed in the
glorious uniform of Uncle Sam,

The special representative of the
United States now in Klondike sends
word Of hard condition of affairs
there. Actual and attempted rob-
berry has commenced and there is no
employment in any capacity for a
large number of people. Only about
7 per cent of all people who have en-
tered during the past year have earned
their living. and hundreds are now
scattered along the river destitute of
food, clothing and money: People
coming in have not had the faintest
conception what to do to earn living,
and after spending the money they
bring, they become dazed and help
less. Any step that will prevent
people from coming in their ignorance
will be an act of charity. Minnesota
is the place to stay in.

TIE libel suit of the Minneapolis
Trust Company against the Minneap-
Oils Times, which has been on trial
for over seven weeks, terminated last
Friday afternoon in a verdict Of mot
guilty." We believe that this verdict
was in accord with the universal pub
lie sentiment. The suit was based on
an editorial printed in the Times last
August which was founded on an affida-
Wit filed in the district court in Hen
nepin county which alleged that the
trust company had violated a trust
by selling nearly $500, 900 of West Pull
man bonds for less than $4,000, thus
sacrificing the Interests of men whose
agents the trust company were. The
suit has been an expensive one for
the Times and has cost Hennepin
county, $4,000.

OUR sales abroad in the five months
since the Dingley law went into effect,
from Aug. |, 1897, to Jan. /, 1898,
show large increase over the sales
made during the corresponding
months in the preceding year. Even
in manufactured goods, in which it
was insisted that there must be,
under the new tariff, large falling

THE proposed law against the adul.
teration Of flour by the admixture of
corn flour is righteous one and
should be made very stringent and be
passed without delay. Minnesota
wheat millers have no objection to
the adulteration if the adulterated
product is sold for what it is,
mixture of corn and wheat
tlours, but when it is given to the
trade as wheat flour it has the effect
Of disturbing the trade to the detri.
ment of legitimate millers and to the
injury Of the flour trade. The north.
western millers are unit against
adulteration and will do all in their
power to wipe out the evil as they
consider it.

Two prominent libel suits in Min

wealthy men who dislike to have their
acts and methods plainly criticised.
In the case of Ward against the Fair

was given against the newspaper. In
the case of the Trust company against
the Minneapolis Times, the news
paper was acquitted. Profitable busi-
