crime
When your career Pm scanning,
Remembering how closely I'm
Connected with its planning.
That moonlight midnight at Sunol
You can't forget I'm certain,
When you from your most secret
soul
Rang up the curtain.
You told me how you yearned and
sought
To tread the stage-the oldest
Confession ever heard, l thought
You we're so young and modest.
Two hours l labored all in vain
To kill that mad ambition,
You, listened, smiled and made it
plain
Killing was not my mission.
Accept fluctuations, dear,
I'm very proud about it.
Your genius is my boast and cheer,
For l was first to doubt it.

O ontract Labor In Hawaii.

Contract labor in Hawaii which
is practically slave labor, presents
one Of the serious problems which
confront the United States in con-
nection with the annexation of
those islands. The system is one
which cannot be allowed to con-
tinue under American rule, Of
course-a fact which the large coffee
and sugar planters seem to realize.
Senator Cullom, who has just re-
turned from the islands, says what
the large planters ask is that the
change from contract to free labor
be permitted to come gradully.
This is perhaps reasonable, pro-
.yided the time asked in which to
make the change be not too long.
In all territory which becomes a
part of the United States the labor
standards must be raised as speed
lily as possible to those that are
recognized in this country.-Bulletin

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Ingratitude has always been the
strong point in the characters of the
invaders of the Hawaiian Islands.
The 10th of November has passed,
and none Of the sugar barons did a
thing that could show that they
still revered the memory of the
King who secured the Reciprocity
treaty for the sole benefit of the
sugar men. Difficulties are even
placed in the way OF the Queen
Dowager, who has expressed desire
to place monument near the rest
ing place of her beloved husband,
and to honor his noble career as a
king. The men who derived enor-
nous financial benefits from the late
King have evidently forgotten him.
The People, and not the widowed
Queen, should be the ones to erect
monument for King Kalakaua.

AN OUTRAGE

One satisfaction, even to those
who have opposed annexation, is the
fact that our infamous laws relating
to contract labor will be abandoned.
1t is crying shame to witness the
spectacle offered to the people of
Honolulu this morning, when over
forty Galicians we're marched
through the town in prison garb
and in regular chain gang.

Kl0ndykian Cold.

In a warm climate, such as
ours, ice is an absolutely ne
cessity as a food preserver
and a means towards preserv-
ing an equal temperature of
body and mind. Ice chests
and refrigerators are no long
er a luxury but a necessity
and the wise woman always
selects the best for her house
hold. This undoubtedly is
the Alaska as experience has
proved.
The ALASKA is constructed
upon strictly scientific prin-
cipals, by which low tempera-
ture and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
The ALASKA has preserved
fresh meats perfectly for three
weeks in the hottest weather
and produces better results
with less ice than any other.
The ALASKA has the only
provision chamber free from
odor, for between the outer
and inner walls there is an
inch and a half space filled
with pure charcoal, and ex-
perience has convinced all that
the ALASKA is without doubt,
the best refrigerator on the
market, in construction, in
preserving perishable goods,
in economy of ice, and in all
points necessary to make
them first class.
We have them in several
sizes, at from $15 to $25 and
also keep the ALASKA Ice

Judge Perry does not believe that
The INDEPENDENT is a newspaper
having general circulation and he
consequently refused to permit a
certain advertisement connected
with judicial proceedings to be pub
lished in our paper in spite of a
request OF the attorneys in a certain
case, who acted under the provisions
of Chapter 36, session laws OF 1892.
The learned judge buys The INDE-
PENDENT every evening, and if he
knows anything about public senti-
ment and local newspapers, he must
realize that The INDEPENDENT is
read by more people than any other
evening paper, published in Homo
ulu. Judge Perry has a grudge
against THE INDEPENDENT, but he
can rest assured, that his refusal TO
allow legal notice to be published
in our columns will not ruin us.
His action simply con firms us in the
belief, that it is a gross mistake to
select judges from judicial kinder
gartens.
