Hawaiian Islands would not be an
nexed to the United States before
July 1, 1898. Before that date we
had heard OF the passage of the
Joint Resolution in the House OF

are not annexed. No official inform

l see that your wise Government
intends to erect a lighthouse on
Diamond Head. Now that you are
Americans, and, as the editor of the
'Tiser says, able to tell the truth,
will you kindly mention to me and
other seafaring men who the idiot
is who advocates a lighthouse ON
Diamond Head?
l have sailed my vessel from San
Francisco to Honolulu for many
years, and / guess l know my busi-
ness pretty well, or l wouldn't be
the boss of my clipper. But will
be-well, am not talking from the
quarter deck-asd will only say that
the shippers Of vessels coming from
abroad simply want light at Maka-
puu point, and if possible one at
Kalaeokalaau. A light on Diamond
Head will simply be waste Of good
money, and no decent seaman will
ever back a .schems which to us
seems simply the favoring Of cer-
tain local steamship company.
Give us lights where l have sug-
gested, and then you will find many
friends among the men who sail
across the sea, and you can bank on
one old SKIPPER.

however, to be asked to cultivate
his garden and his farm, and then

couragement will be given to the
farmers to grow all kinds OF vegeta-
bles, to the dealers to sell them and

ANOTHER QUESTION.

The leper question will be very
interesting after we get Settled
down." and the great brains of
Messrs. Dole and Frear will have
sweet time in framing laws, which
will segregate citizens, disfranchise
them and virtually lock them up,
because they are diseased, and yet
not conflict with the provisions of
the Constitution Of this, our glori-
Gus country. The lepers have
committed no wrong; they have
done nothing which can deprive
them OF vote; if taxes are demand
ed from them they will pay them;
and under our great Constitution
you cannot deprive a man, who is
of rational mind, and not criminal
Of his liberty because half dozen
doctors say that he is suffering from
an infectious disease, and half a
dozen other equally competent
medicine men say, that leprosy is
not infectious. But of course the
Constitution OF the United States
and the principles laid down by the
founders of the Great Republic are
no longer Of any account. We will
SEQ laborers Imprisoned in Hawaii,
U. S. A., because they refuse to
work as slaves; we will see men
segregated" and deprived Of their
civil rights, because they are un-
fortunate enough to be i'll, and we
will see the missionary plutocrats
in it with all their gilt edged feet,
wherever Hawaii is concerned.

You are supposed to know every

Glory" floats over your islands?
| haven't sinned very much. In
fact only deserted from the navy,
an offense which "extradition" does
not cover. My friend along with me
deserted from the army and, being
absent minded, perhaps carried
away few trinkets belonging to his
neighbors.
When Bee came down some years
ago to fetch a certain clerk of the
court in California, he met num-
ber of gentlemen who felt very
nervous" when they faced the de-
teotive. 1 felt pretty uneasy myself,
but being handsome and unconcern-
ed, L managed to ask Mr.. American
detective" to take something, and L
have never been near the old "Key-
stone" corner since.

you think they are going to rake up
old troubles and run us in? Ii they
are, l think there will be large
exodus for Manila. We, us and

The Meridional. (Abbeville, La.) 1856-1906, 1898-05-07

Abbeville did herself proud last week
in its reception of Gen John B. Gordon
the bnllet-scarred veteran and brilliant
orator of Georgia, who delivered his
famous lecture, "The Last Days of the
Confederacy," to a large and enthusiasts
tic audience at the courthouse here
last Saturday ,light. Gen. Gordon's
coming has been looked forward to
with much interest for several months,
and when the |. & V. train pulled into
the depot here with Gen. Gordon
aboard there was quite a demonstra-
ton from the large crowd that had as
semhled to receive the distlngu shed
leader of the "Lost Cause' and pay
him homage. A committee from the
Lyceum Club met the General at the
train and escorted him to his hotel,
preceded by the Silver Cornet Band,
followed by the members of Camp No.
GOT &C. v, who had turned out in a
body to welcome their old comrade. On
arriving at the Wall House he, in a few
well chosen and very appropriate re-
marks, thanked tue veterans for the
attention shown him and dismissed
them. The lecture. giving in detail
the heroism and devotion of both men
and woman, is complete. He .eulo-
gized the Stars and Stripes amid the
huzzas of the people, and closed by
saying that it had always triumphed,
and that, in the present war with
Spain, it would add another victory to
its list. This lecture closed the first
season of the Abbeville Lyceum Club.
which has been very instructive and
successful.
They have afforded our people the
privilege of hearing some of the lead
ing attractions of the country and Gen.
Gordon was one of the greatest, this
being the only place in Louisiana where
he lectured this year.
