We were gong to say some
things to the voters, but we guess
W. hid better not say them. What
we were going to say WIS along
this line: Work you slaves, for
Your masters and don't you dare
for one moment to complain OF
your lot, Hump yourselves from
morning until night for bare ex-
istonce. Bend your back to the
work and accept Your meagre pay
pay without grunhling. Live on
poorer food than the dogs of tho
rich. Spend the hest years of
your manhood in laboring to build
up fortunes for others. Look for
ward to want in old age. Don't
l1emoan your conditions. sReallze
that your children are borne slaves
OF other peoples children. that
Your daughters are the slaves of
oher daughters no worthier than
yours: LOOK at the hopeless fu-
tnre for yourself, wife and chill
dren. Look at the great fortunes
plllng up in other hands from the
labor of the masses of the people.
See the idlers dwelling in immense
Snxnry and those who produce all
wealth without even the comforts
OF life. See Miss &. and Misn v
and Miss NJ. and thousand ether
girls, each born as the overs of
anywhere from five hundred tof
hive thousand white girl slaves.
Realize that the condition of the |
masses of the people is growing
worse every year; that the stupen-
dous fortunes of plutocracy are
pillng mp higher and higher every
day. Realize that those you sup
ply don't supply you; that in the
process of the exchange of the
products of The labor of men the
man who tolls not, steps in and
takes the lions share. Consider
these facts, but don't grumbIe for
you voted the other day to keep
them so. Get down and scratch

kick. Mo. World,

LATEST FROM CUBA.
Lays Maine Disaster at the
Door of the Spanish.

Special to the REGISTER
KEY WEST, Fla, Feb, >, 1898. A
special to the Kansas City papers
from Key West late yesterday after.
noon states that an associate press
correspondent had just returned from
the scene of the Maine disaster and
reported that a diver was at work
about the bottom of the sunken
Maine. He discovered an eight inch
percussion hole in the plate, caused
by a torpedo explosion.
Navy officials at Washington, how
ever, discredit the report and say
that officers and men on the boat
when the explosion occurred say that
the explosion was due to an interior
cause and not the result of a torpedo
explosion outside.

PERU, IND, WATER WORKS.
Has Paid 100000 Interest and Still
Owes 500, 900 for the Bonds.

We have before us Il copy OF the
Peru, Ind, Republican dated Feb. IL.
1898, i'm which under the head of
Good City Financiering' is an arti-
Gle about the Peru water works. The
article is one praising the city council
for their management in refunding
the bonds, hence il is u favorable
history of municipal ownership of the
city water works from one disposed
to look at it i'm Il friendly light. Let
us see what "a bonded debt means.
In refunding the bonds it was de-
veloped that the city of Peru had 500
900 worth of water works bonds
which have borne interest at the rate
of percent for twenty years and are
now refunded. When the bonds were
issued the city's population was about
1900, now it is about 1000. Thus in
twenty years these people who owned
property in Peru have paid out as in
| terest $4,000 and still owe $50. 900 for
| the bonds themselves and have Just
pledged themselves to pay interest
for fifteen years more.
What do the taxpayers of lola
think of that? Don't you know that
when Peru voted bonds there were
some for and some against and don't
you know that the idea was held out
that the revenue from the water works
would pay interest, principal, and
build public buildings? Don't you
know that the: people of Peru are
mighty sorry, now,-at least the tax
payers? Don't you know that that
bonded debt and heavy interest was
one of the chief causes that Peru only
grew about 5000 in twenty years /?
Don't you know that lola may have
the same experience? And don't you
know that you and you alone are
signing your name to guarantee the
paying of whatever amount may
come due of principal and interest ?
Can lola taxpayers afford to put
up all the money with which to test
the validity of a Populist theory.

ANTI-BOND nEETING.

"THE Lords prayer is worship
school-houses are made houses OF
worship if it is repeated in them,
houses OF worship can not be erected
or supported by popular taxes, school

therefore, the Lords prayer may not
legally be repeated in them" That

= Mr.. Allan Herbert, whose interest
in the development OF our agricul-

industries is well-known, has been
made an honorary member of Cal
ifornia's Boards OF Agriculture and
Trade; and through him the Hawai-
ian Board Of Agriculture has been
invited to place permanent exhi-
bit of Island industries with those
of California's resources.
Mr. Herbert will be pleased to
forward to j. A. Filcher, Secretary
OF the State Board Of Trade at San
Francisco, samples Of coffee or other
purely Hawaiian products for exhi-
'bition. These should be securely
placed in exhibition glass jars and
properly labelled with the name and
address of the exhibitor, the place
where the product was grown, and
the name Of the local agent. There
will be no expense attached to the
exhibit.
The Californians will also be
pleased if Hawaii will place an ex-
hibit in connection with theirs at
the Paris Exhibition of 1900 as an
annex to the American Exhibits,

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

Chief Justices Of States and Terri

always willing to say good word
for those members OF the Bar who
desire to go to Hawaii. The g. j..
of these islands takes a different
view when kamaaina practitioners
leave for higher tribunal. He has
little good to say and that re-
luctantly is said and he simply
covers the evil which he would like
to say by quoting the old saying

TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1898.
he Is PREMATURE.

F. w. Beckley of Hilo has signed
his name to a letter published in
the Advertiser this morning, in
which he advocates that better con-
duct of our judiciary system should
be adopted, and that the machinery
OF justice and liberty should no
longer be "hampered by a small
minority yet clinging to dying
language, such as the Hawaiian"
There can be no doubt OF it. No
foreigner" would ever try to befoul
his own nest in the language of this
Mr.. Beckley who signs his name to
the following paragraph:
"Fully ninety percent of the alb
origines and their descendants speak
and understand the English Ian
guage and to subject the people any
longer to the mercy of a magistrate
whose speech, method of trial and
records are in a language formed
and conceived in feudal age, con.
veying the idea with the natives of
the divine supremacy of kings is a
big error. This is an infringement
upon the rights and the liberties of
the people in now free country for
the very language which the magis-
trate uses prevents him from fully
realizing the broader and fuller
sense aud spirit Of true republican
ism. equality and justice"
The writer of the letter signed by
F. w. Beckley has evidently been in
trouble with some Hawaiian magis-
trate, who administered the law as
no found it on our statutes, and not
according to the Beckley ideas of
"republicanism, equality and JUS
tice." The statement that ninety
percent OF aborigines speak and un-
derstand English is simply absurd
and shows that Mr.. Beckley doesn't
even know his own countrymen.
The older generation of the Hawai-
ians as rule do not speak English,
even if number of them partly un-
derstand it. The majority of the
younger generation prefer, we are
justified in saying, to use the Ian
guage of their forefathers to that
which they are taught in the public
and private schools. We see proofs
to that effect daily when Hawaiians
appear in the District Court OF Ho-
nolulu and give evidence in their
own language. The Hawaiian Ian
guage may some day belong to the
"dead languages" but we think that
Mr.. Beckley is premature, unpatri-
otto and arrogant in taking upon
his youthful shoulders the task OF
the "undertaker," in burying his
mother tongue. He will hardly yet
get judgeship, even if he does kick
al the Hawaiian magistrates by air
ing his superior knowledge and edu-
cation in the organ of the planters

SENATOR S. M. CuLLoM, CHAIRMAN
OF THE U. S. COMMISSIONERS:
SIR:-Being elected a Committee
Of the "Hui Kaulana o Leahi," to
present memorial to Your Honor
able Body to-day, regarding a pro-
test against annexation Of these Isl
ands to the U. s. A. by the above
organization of native patriots who
participated in the Revolution Of
January, 1895, for the restoration Of
the Independence of their beloved
country.
And as the wish of this Hawaiian
organization has been barred out by
your Commissioners through Mr..
Sanford b. Dole himself who told
Mr.. j. W. Bipikane "a member of
this Committee) this morning, that
four Commissioners have decided
not to receive our Committee and
other Committees who are bearing a
memorial of this nature.
And as Mr.. Sanford B. Dole being
party of those who committed the
crime of destroying the Independ.
ence of our beloved country to the
U. S. of A. without a title, 80 we ask
Your Commissioners through You
the Chairman if it be possible that
Your Commissioners have taken
such steps not to listen the voice Of
the native Hawaiians.
Respectfully yours,
