H " to Stop Hazing

From the New York World,
 The alleged attempts to stop hazing at Columbia and Princeton are clearly shams.
 There is one short and easy way to stop a practice of this character, which is at once brutal and idiotic. Any college facul- ty can make an end of it once and forever simply by refusing to matriculate any stp- dent who will not pledge his word of hon. or that he will have no part or lot in such business.
 Every college owes 1t to itself, it's stu dents and the parents of its students to adopt some such course and resolutely pur- sue it.
 The national academies at West Point and Annapolis have completely put an end to this silly custom, borrowed from British caddshness and brutality. Every college in the land owes it to the public to do the same. One of the uses of education is T to teach young men how to be, decent, law abiding citizens, gentlemen as well as scholars. The college habit of mind which assumes that lawlessness and ruf1iianism are to be permitted to students is 'subver- sive of the primary purpose of education

RelipiO and Politics

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
 MT. Lounsbury, the republican candidate for governor of Connecticut, announced his religious belief in the opening speech of the campaign, and explained his course by saying that If I am asked to vote for man I want to know something of his re- ligion." If MT. Lounsbury supposes that the voters of the United States, under the constitution and the laws, have any busi- ness with candidates particular religious creed or care very much about his particu lar religious belief, he is considerably mis- taken The voters are concerned with his religion only as expressed in works, and in declared faith. The man who regards his fellow-men, who is foe to dishonesty and corrupt practices in public as well as private life, who looks upon political office as a public trust and who would not spend A dollar or speak a word on behalf of a political cause which did not have for its object the purification of government and the promotion of justice, is religious enough for any body of American voters. If MT. Lounsbury can fill this bill 1t is of no con sequence to the Connecticut electorate whether he believes in the Jehovah of the Jews or the God of the gentiles.

Cotton Letter

By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 Liverpool was quiet. futures IF lower The only feature of the day has been the big receipts, 5000 bales against 60,OOO last year. This is creating a bearish feeling even at these low prices and 12 100000 crop is the general talk. Frost news have lit tie effect. The only bullish feature noted here was the buying for German account. This clique have been sellers for the past month but indications point to their veering around to the long side for a time. Realizing was the principal feature early, which resulted in a decline of to 5 points, vixen the market became dull and steady. Closing prices were near the lowest. and only kept steady by the buy ing noted above.

New York October 3i.-Improved condi- tons in several branches of the market for cotton goods made the opening of the Jay dry goods market of considerable in- terest. There is an element of strength in eottons which has been lacking in many
 weeks. The more settled conditions in 'rint cloths and the steady gain in the de- mand for export goods have tended to add strength to the market both locally and in other first hand centers. There was fair showing of buyers in the market and they were inclined to be slightly freer in their trading today. The print cloth situation is qu!et one. Buyers are not clamorous for goods at the prices fixed by the trus- tees. Staple cottons showed somewhat more activity today than has been the case heretofore. There was a more pro- kinds.

New York Cotton Market.


 New York. October 31.-opening. steady at unchanged prices to point decline, the cotton market ruled to some extent ir- regular with decline of 8 to points ap- parent at the weakest interval. The ex- changes were numerous including unsats- factory cable accounts, port receipts equal to, if not exceeding estimates, advces from the south indicating anxiety on the part of spot holders and some disposition to retreat on the part of speculators. Not withstanding these reports, the market yielded stubbornly. Some disposition to cover short contracts caused a few partial rallies. The general temper of traders was pessimistic, however, owing to the al- most entire lack of outside speculative in terest. The fact that spot sales at Liver pool have increased to 12,000 bales is re- Sarded by some as substantial indication that English spinners will remain active buyers for some time to come During the afternoon the market here dragged in the absence of additional news influences rally'ng little but closing steady at net decline of ? to points,

ALOHA NUl L0A
Honolulu In TRANSPORTS Of
De iTium
The Troops for Manila Arrive and
Are Captured By the People-A
Spontaneous outburst of
Welcome for the Boys
In Blue.

never, perhaps, mas honolulu seer
such an immense gathering of peo-
Pile around the waterfront as that
which assembled yesterday after
noon to greet the three United
States transports the Australia, City
of Peking and City of Sydney on
their arrival in port with the Amer
lean troops destined for the con-
quest and retention OF the Philip
pines.
Most certainly never before in our
local history has such pent un en-.
thusiasm burst its bounds and flow
ed in such torrent of force and in
tensity as to overwhelm all consider
atoms and incidents but that OF
warmest welcome to the men who
all wish to prove their manhood
under the glorious banner Of earth's
greatest and strongest Republic;
and for the nonce the Stars and
Stripes float in and around Homo
lulu as If in the manner born they
were entitled to float over it; and
nobody will object if politics are
buried in the unanimity of friend
ship which all entertain for our
guardian protector and sister sover-
eign State.
1t will be impossible for the in
cidents attaching to the arrival at
Honolulu OF the first American army
of occupation recorded on history's
pages ever to pass from the
memories Of those who participated
in the dsy's event, and they arc but
the index finger to the happy incl
dents to ensue during the stay of
the transports in port. Incidents
innumerable momentarly crowd the
one upon the other until they be-
come practically unrecordable and
bury themselves in a conglomerate
mass described in one word "Wel-
come" or perhaps better still in that
happily inspired Hawaiian word
"Aloha" which means all that heart
can feel and more than words can
express or pen detail.
With such incidents let them be re-
corded by all as they happen to their
own views, The INDEPENDENT is con.
tent with narrating the fact that the
troops are here and that they are
our welcome guests to whom we
ten der the hand shake OF friendship
and all else that we can in honor
and honesty give them.
The troops composing this first
army Of advance number about $500
aud are under tho command OF
Brigadier- General Anderson, recent
ly returned from Skaguay, Alaska,
where he had been in command OF
the Fourteenth Infantry. They are
the First California and the Second
Oregon, u. S. Volunteers with Colo
nels Jas. f. Smith aud Owen Sum-
mers respectively in command
Commander Gibson is in charge OF
the expedition. "
To-day the program is shore leave
for exercise and Purchase and re-
ception of the officers of the erpedi
ton by the President, and to-
morrow we shall see what kind Of
hosts we make in entertaining the
army on the battlefield OF knives
aud forks.

Certain to Be Defeated In
The Senate
Opponents Of the Treaty Will Not
Open to a Revival of the Cues
ton In Any Form.
Especial Despatch to The Call
CALL OFFICE, RIaas HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Nav 23.(

CALL OFFICE, RIaes HOUSE
WASHINGTON, May 23.}
The question OF the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands has been
revived in the Senate to certain
extent since the Hawaiian resolu-
tions were reported in the House,
and the friends of annexation have
been quoted as expressing a deter
mination to press the House resolu-
tion in the Senate during the pres.
emit session in case it should pass the
House for fear that the short session
would not afford time to secure its
thorough consideration. The oppo-
nents OF annexation declare they
will not agree to the revival of the
question in any way in the Senate
before the adjournment of this
session, and some Of the Democratic
opponents do not hesitate to say
that rather than have the Hawaiian
question reconsidered they will de-
bate the war revenue bill indefi-
nitely.
Senator White, who has been one
Of the most persistent opponents Of
annexation, to day gave the follow
ing outline of his position on the
questions:
"Before the present Congress as
sembled it was stated that the treaty
would be passed Immediately on the
opening Of the session. This was
not done. On the contrary the mat =
ter was not called up until we were
well into January. The debate was
quite active for a while; then the
subject was dropped because the
friends of the treaty were short of
votes and it has not since been re-
vived in the Senate. If any attempt
is made, now that the time for adj
journment ought to be near, to re-
agitate annexation under the resolu-
tion theory, the result cannot be
favorable to an early disposition Of
the important legislation pending
in Congress, but will keep Congress
in session all summer.
The power to admit territory or
dependencies by resolution is doubt
full. Texas came in by resolution
but was admitted as a state under a
provision of the constitution ex-
pressly giving Congress the right to
admit new States. This and many
more equally cogent arguments will
be elaborated whenever this inter
esting matter shall be publicly de-
bated.
"The sensible thing to do is to
suspend further proceedings on the
subject of annexation until the war
with Spain is over and we face the
new problems resulting from our
| success at arms"

Hawaii MouTHS Tho Death Of
TbeO. d. Davies,
The Well-Known Merchant Fxpir-s
In His England Home

The news OF the death of Mr.. 7.
Fl. Davies comes to many in this
community with the overwhelming
force OF personal loss.
To many people in this commun-
ity he was very dear, sympathizing
friend. His CHEEKY disposition and
sincere sympathy for his fellow man
in trouble made him that priceless
possession a comforting friend in
time OF need.
For over forty years Mr. Davies
has gone in and out among us with
personal influence that made only
for righteousness.
A man with decided opinions up
on all questions discussed in our
little community; with convictions
formed only after serious thought
and having the courage OF such con.
victions he WAS brave enough to
utter the truth as he knew it with
out regard to the consequences to
himself or his business. His life
here from young manhood to ma
ture age furnished an example
which all OF our young men may
follow with advantage to themselves
and to this community.
The INDEPENDENT extends to the
widow and children OF the good
man gone to his rest sincere SYM
pathy in their bereavement.
God rest his soul.-Amen.
