THURSDAY, MARCH II, 1898.
TO THE LAST CENT.

The "yellow" journal has another
fake story about the alleged desti
tute condition OF the Hawaiian dele
gates to Washington. 1t is perfect
ly true that the Hawaiians who pay
the expenses Of their delegates are
constantly contributing to the fund
subscribed for that purpose. 1t
should be remembered that the re-
personalities Of the Hawaians did
not enter on their mission under
similar circumstances to those un-
der which Thurston and the other
political mountebanks have travelled
forth. Thurston and his outfit cover
their expenses by drawing on the
great sugar concerns, and their
drafts are paid and the amounts al
lotted on the tonnage Of the differ
ent plantations.
The Hawaiians "dig up" their
nickels and dimes and quarters, as
fast as they can earn them and
spare them, in support of the men
who went to Washington without
private funds or resources to help
in every possible way to defeat the
annexation treaty. 1t was not ex-
pected that the delegates would be
obliged to remain in Washington as
long as they have, and the People
come cheerfully to the front with
their dimes and nickels and quarters
to defray the expenses OF keeping
their represent atives on the battle
ground until the issue is finished
and the enemy been routed. 1t is
amusing, by the way, to notice the
Advertiser ridiculing the Hawaiians
for not having put up one cent for
their cause, and at the same time
finding the Star in state of "yel-
low" amusement. because the "royal-
lists" are again digging up" Is
such difference of public opinion on
the part OF the two official organs
due to softening of their grey mat
tersa" and If not, why not?

TONERS ask that Mr.. Rickard be re

the Government is urged to grant
him full pardon. Would it not be
good policy, Mr. Smith, to drop
formalties and at one stroke of the
pen wipe out the old score and
grant full pardon to all political
prisoners? Mr.. Dole's administra-
ton needs all the friends it possibly
can gain. An act OF justice and
fairness like the unconditional
pardoning of prisoners will prove Of
more benefit than certain proposed
"pardon" of very different kind

1t appears to The INDEPENDENT
that the Government is allowing
the ship OF State to drift on to
dangerous shoals and quicksands
through incompetent pilots. When
the most stalwart OF their former
allies among the people and the
press combine in opposition to them,
there must be something radically
wrong in their constitution. They
must be surrounded with incompe-
tent advisors or false friends. We
would respectfully advise them to
do little thinking for themselves;
to take weeks vacation and think
matters over we'll before they are too
brain-weary to think. We don't
want set of broken down political
hacks on our hands when the time
to dismiss them comes in 1863, and
we don't wish them to go out before
they have thoroughly clothed them
selves with political ignominy, and
yet again "the new crowd" might be
less scrupulous than they are.

He Stirred Things Up.

The Santiago Times, which prides it..
self on being "the only American daily
printed in Santiago" says under date
of August q: "This morning a Yankee
boy turned up. He was the real live
article, and a newspaper man at that.
The war calling his attention to Cuba,
he embarked on the steamship Sarato-
boat, as a stowaway. Arriving on terra
firma this morning he applied to us for
a situation. He was willing to begin
at the bottom of the ladder, selling pa
pers. We gave him a bundle of papers,
and he rushed off, not even waiting to
inquire how much pay he was to get.
A moment later we heard the old ia
miliar yell in the street Of "Wuxtra-
the only American paper published in
Cuba! Here you CO., Uxtra!" In the
usually quiet streets of Cuba it made a
frightful din, and as the Yankee news
boy hurried down Marina street, yelling
at the top of his voice, with the bundle
under his arm and a paper in his hand
like an %improvised flag, the poor start
led Cubans, unused to such a spectacle,
stumbled to get out of the way, while
%L> ~ooroho pfS AooLo1 RI fhoir 10nrc fo
see what was h matter.
In less than two hours our boy was
back to the Office again, having sold in
that time more papers than six Of our
native boys would have done in the
same time. We have a lurking suspi-
cion that the Cubans bought the paper
because they were afraid they would
get killed if they did not buy it; the
merchants bought it because they
thought it contained something new,
and our soldiers bought it because it
vas American. So far as we have heard
only one casualty occurred, caused by
our Yankee newsboy, and that was
when he shouted 'Uxtra" into the ear
of a doing policeman. The policeman
was so frightened that he fell off the
sidewalk, nearly breaking his machete.
We have great hopes for our new ac-
quaintance, and we prophesy for him a
great and glorious future in the island
Of Cuba, and when the. Times has grown
to be a power in journalism may our
Yankee newsboy, Elias. Whitman Of
New York, be one Of it's owners.
