HAWAII ANNEXATION.

The following extracts are from
Judge Bells speech delivered IN
the House June 18th:
1t is idle TO prattle about the
present government being n re-
public or desiring to be annexed
to the United States. 1t is well
known by all who llave kept pace
with the misfortunes overtaking
these islands that the present gov
ernment is pure oligarchy not
representing 10 per cent of the
people of the island, and repre-
sentlng practically none of the
natives. A republic Is n govern
ment for and by the people. The
first law of n republic is to rest the
power IN the people. The Dole
government has taken all power
from the people, and i, is in 10
sense n government for the people.
Suffrage or the elective franchise
is only given to the wealthy, which
includes but very few, if any. ma
tives- An elector for senator
must have $4,000 in property above
his membranes, or must have
received II money income of at
least $500 the year preceding the
election. The natives have lost
practically all the property of the
island.
The best Of evidence has been
secured by n personal canvass OF
the natives and of the non Ameri-
can population, and it has been
found that at least 30 per cent OF
the population are praying for an
Independent government. Every.
one who has investigated impair
TALLY must conclude TIM, the pres.
ent Government is n usurping oil
garchy installed under the over.
awing influence Of the marines of
the American war ships aad tina,
it has no power whatever by the
consent OF the governed. The
governors of the Hawaiian Islands
are simply old missionaries and
their sons and their grandsons and
their sreat-grandsons. And whn,
do they do?
The cardinal doctrine Of this
government is that every adult
male citizen above the age Of u
years shall have an equal right nj
the ballot box in choosing officers
aud in shaping the policy Of the
government. lf we annex Hawaii
We must treat all Of the citizens
thereof ms political equals and give
them the privileges of the ballot,
or must mike another radical
change in the policy of our gov.
crnmcnt.
IL We pursue our policy. We must
allow the male population Of the
islands nbovo that ngc (2i yrnrr
the privilege Of voting. II left to
n vote OF tho people OF Hawaii,
after annexation. the Americans
will have no voice whatever in ,h.
government Of the island ,xccp,

A few wealthy Americans aud
European whites will own all the
valuable posscssions Of thee
islands. They will inevitably cm.

labor Of like climates, mud will

The Saguache Crescent has n
candidate for governor, and, un-
solicited, gives him the following
complimentary send-otf:
The San Luis valley has no can
didate to spring on the coniiding
people Of the state. We had one
whirl in 1894 when we buncoed
them with McIntire. That epi-
sode will prove an insurmountable
barrier to ambitious Conejos coun-
ty statesmen for many years to
como. But we have a man in
view-a resident of the capitol
city-for whom we would all work
with hearty good will. That
man is II. c. Cloudy. lie is popu-
lar with all classes. He is not
puffed up with his own import
ance. He is npproachable, genial,
and withal one of those choice
spirits whom it is pleasure to
know. His reputation is not CON
fined TO the state-and il is II
mighty good reputation, too. He
is man on whom the republicans
of the state could unite and no one
can honestly say that he is not
sound on that great question to
this state-the silver issue. He is
n man Of affairs, of sound Judg-
ment, strict integrity, n good law
yer and tho best stump speaker in
the state Of Colorado-and that is
saying great deal" And Il stick

So far during the war there has
been nearly as many men killed by
railroad accidents as by the guns
of the enemy. This fact ought to
suggest the Importance of govern

THERE is one thing now lack

and that is an air ship capable of

Down in Kansas the prohibition
lists have nominated Ex-senator
PETER for governor. While in
the United States senate Mr.. PEI
fer was looked upon as an honest
man but lacking in executive
ability. That is to say. he failed
to make himself felt. 1t is no
credit to Mr.. PETER to quit his
party MS soon as he is out of office.
But the world is full of such men.
This county has few ex.otiice
holders who were done with the
populist party as soon ns they
were let ont of office.

THE STATE FAIR.

At the coming fair to be held in North
Yakima, September 26th to October LIST, a
school will be conducted by the heads of
the different departments, where experts
in their calling will deliver lectures on
dairying, horticulture, agriculture and
bee culture.
In the poultry department the following
subjects will be handled:
How to judge poultry; how to raise
chickens; how to capOniZe fowls.
A Judge of national reputation has been
secured to place the awards in this depart
ment, and he will give lecture on judg-
ing fowls ALI those who desire to learn
how to score fowls should be on hand at
the fair to take advantage of this lecture,
as we'll as OF all the others, as it will be a
free school of instruction.
The poultry department is to be big
feature of the fair. Besides the cash prizes
offered by the Fair Commission, the
breeders Of poultry throughout the state
have offered over a hundred dollars in
cash and special prizes. The Commits
sioners have decided not to publish the
fair premium list until May LIST, in order
to allow everyone who desired it chance
to offer special premiums. l would be
pleased to hear from someone in every
county in the state who would take it on
himself to see that his, or her, county was
represented in the poultry department.
We want to demonstrate to the people of
Washington what a big industry poultry
is. AS there will be a great many visitors
to the fair, from an advertising standpoint
it will be the biggest thing for poultrymen
ever before held.
The Commissioners are doing every
thing in their power to make this fair
worthy of the grand young state Of Wash
ington, and they are perfectly willing to
create any department that the people of
the state may desire.
There is talk of dog show at the fair.
Those who are interested in "man's best
friend" should write to the secretary, T.
B. Gum, North Yakima.
All communications bearing on the sub
iect of poultry should be addressed to the
undersigned. Yours truly,
HARRY III. COLLIER,
Supt. Poulty Dept, Tacoma, Wash.

THR Des Moines Iowa. Daily News
speaks of the war with Spain as s'the
inevitable clash of two antagonistic
civilizations brought face to face by
conditions that made a conflict una
voidable. 1t is war for humanity, for
Justice, for the civilization of Chris
tianity. 1t is war to be waged for
the overthrow Of injustice and the up
liftment of humanity. 1t is war to
I've won for national honor and national
dignity. The people of the United
States do not shrink from this war now
that it in here. There is no undue ex-
element since the first receipt of the
final word. There IL no hysteria.
There II set determination, now that
we are involved in what we hoped
against hope would not come, to fight
It to the bitter end. It is the stern
purpose of the American nation, the
greatest and the most glorious on earth,
the most patient and best humored, as
it is the foremost in the files of time, to
prosecute the conflict until every Spar

MANILA BAY, the great port of the
Philippine islands, and one of the finest
harbors in the world, is about thirty
miles long and twenty-five miles wide.
There are two islands at the entrance
separated from the main island of Luzon
by channels two miles wide on the one
side and five miles on the other, and
between the two islands Is channel
about half mile in width and six to
seven fathoms deep. Cavite, the loca-

THE claim that plutocracy flourishes
more vigorously under the gold stand
ard than under the silver standard ia
knocked into smithereens by ex-Gov-
ernor Stone, of Missouri, who has just
returned from trip to Mexico and says
that the most pestiferous class of pluto
Gratis exists in that country. The Mex
lean plutocrat, he says, owns from ten
to q hundred thousand acres of land,
free Of taxes, employs droves of ignorant
poems at exceedingly low wages, makes
money hand over fist, and spends his
money and his time in gay Paris in
true plutocratic style And all this
happens under currency systematic
free coinage of silver-which has been
claimed As all absolute preventative of
plutOcracy.

In concluding his brief speech in
support of the senate resolution for the
recognition of the independence OF
Cuba, Senator Wilson very truly said:
"Spain reached the height of her glory
during past age. Unwise and vast
full in her day Of power and prosperity,
when her splendor dazzled the world,
she stands today, without art, without
literature, without science, and with
out hope, bankrupt and ruined ma
ton. There can be no glory in war
over such a carcass. But we shall have
war; not a war of conquest nor aggres-
sion, not war for territorial aggrandize-
ment, but war on behalf of liberty and
humanity, and when history shall
speak of that nation which Is greatest
among the nations of the earth, she
will say:
Each of the nations around you has fought for
her country and line,
But thou hast fought for a stranger, in hate Of =
wrong not thine.
Happy are all free peoples too strong to be dis
possessed;
But blessed is she among nations who dared to
be strong for the rest"

IT is stated ON good authority that at
the recent meeting of cannerymen at
Seattle An agreement was reached by
which it is hoped that better prices
will be realized this year for the salmon
pack than were obtained last year.
There doesn't appear to be any very
good reason to fear "cOmbine" of this
character, unaccompanied by any eff
fort to reduce the prices of fish or the
wages paid at traps or canneries, which
are the best paid for unskilled labor in
any industry I'm the state.

A RECENT dispatch from Omaha
points out the fact that mortgages in
Nebraska are being cancelled at the rate
of million dollars month, and says:
"There are vast sums of money, not
only in the banks and other financial
institutions Of Omaha, hut in other
large cities of the State, ready for in
yestment on reasonable security at 3
per cent interest, which cannot be
loaned out at this low figure. Less than
two years ago 10 per cent could be OBJ
tanned without difficulty. Now farmers
dictate their own terms in the money
markets of this and adjacent states.

helped to mar and ruin. If reverst
come to the army or the navy in the
early conflict the firm determination
of the people will be all the stronger.
It is foul SANDER on the people of this
republic to say they worship only the
dollar. No people have loftier mo
tives. These motives may sleep at
times, but occasion wakes the spirit
which, joined to truth and justice,
holds the most courageous determine
ton of any people on earth. They
never go to war except when they are
right, and when they go to war the
people who oppose their purpose may
we'll beware"

THE people of the state of Washing
ton may well be proud of the fact that
the flagship of the Pacific squadron,
which won the remarkable naval vic

arranging to present to the vessel a
fitting testimonial of their appreciation
of its gallant service.
