RESULTS OF EXPANSION.

The United States government has
already been called upon to face i'm
portant questions resulting from the
expansion policy. The British govern.
ment, before the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States, filed with the
government of Hawaii number Of
Claims for redress for ill-treatment and
illegal confinement of British subjects
involved in the revolutionary move
ment by which the Queen was over
thrown. These claims amount to sew.
eral hundred thousand dollars, and the
question is whether, as the Hawaiian
government failed to settle them, the
United States government inherited
liability Tae claims are similar TO
those fled by the late Secretary Ores
ham against the Hawaiian government
in behalf of number of alleged Amer
lean citizens, most OF whom atterwsrd
turned out to be aliens. None OF these
claims was pressed, but they formed
the foundation for the British claims.
Another question of interest is the
determination of the status OF some OF
our newly acquired citizens or sub
iects A Chiuaman by birth, but
Filipino by citizenship, has applied
for recognition ss an American
citizen. Another Chipaman in Hawaii
wanls a passport showing that he
is a citizeu cf the United States. The
annexation law prohibits the coming
into the limits of the United States OF
Chinese persons from Hawaii, but the
consti!utionality OF any act That pro
poses to discrimius.e among American
citizens has been RAISED, and the
Chinaman is citizen by adoption.

HE JOLLIED THEM.

A few days ago there arrived here,
a pious looking gentleman dressed in
the clerical garb, VINO introduced
himself to some of the members of
the Christilu church as being of
the same faith and minister of
the church in Kentucky, but who
had come here to engage in buying
lttou for a cotton firm in Paris,
Texas,
He gave his name as Rev, Jolly
and being a jolly good fellow as far
as his "cloth" waull let him go,
soon ingratiated himself into the
affection of the. male members of
this faith. We learn. he had asked
for a date to preach to the fl OK
h re and was given assurances that
he should be heard,
After gaining the confidence OF
those whom he was the most inti-
mate with, passed lot of worth
eSs checks buying watches with and
having some of them cashed. When
he had worked his rabbits foot as
TAR IS he knew would be prudent
he disappeared as though the earth
had swallowed him up. Of cOurse
we are sorry for the victims.

MILLER CIRCUIT COURT.

Judge Conway discharged the
jury last Saturday afternoon for
the present term of court, tht re
being no further business before
them. He will call court again
tomorrow and take up the chan
Gerry docket which will occupy his
attention for the day, after which
the court will adjourn.
This session of cur circuit court
has been one of the shortest ever
held, and there has been less cases
of murder, assault to kill and cases
of theft, than heretofore, which
shows that crime is on the decrease
in our county.
The court officers are all compe-
tent and on the alert, and this ac-
counts in great measure tor the
state of affairs of our county.
We are truly glad to record such
facts and hope that there will come
time when our jail door will stand
open at all times.
