a DEPENDENCY.
The American Union Party has
endorsed Mr.. Harold M. Sewall for
Governor of Hawaii.

tion to seeing Mr.. Sewall as the first
Governor of Hawaii; in fact, we
prefer anybody to the missionary"
clique, but we fail to see what good
the endorsement" of the American
Union Party of Honolulu will do in
this instance or in the future. Does
the American Union Party really
think for moment that it will be
permitted to run Hawaii in the
future, as it has done during the
past few years. Nay, nay, gentle
men, you are reckoning without the
host. II Hawaii gets form Of gov
eminent similar to that enjoyed by
the territories in the United States
and which ha been promised, the
American Union Party will be a
thing of the past, and our profess
sional politicians can joiE Mr.. Dole
and his advisers in the innocuous
dessuetude to which they will be
relegated.
II Hawaii simply is to be "de-
tendency" of the United States the
American Union Party will have no
more pull or political power than
the poorest native or Japanese
The "bosses" in Washington will
pull the strings which will guide
the fate of Hawaii, and the mission
ary sugar planters will own the
'bosses" and take good care that
they watch the interests of the
planters and the family compact.
Every influence is at work at pres
ent to make Hawaii simply de-
pendency, colony, province or what
ever you will call it under the
immediate rule of the men who have
put up handsomely for Thurston,
Morgan and the other special work
ers for annexation. They can afford
to pay we'll, Of course, as long as they
are sure OF getting cheap slave labor
and enormous dividends. To Hades
with American principles and demo-
cratic ideas Damn the People is the
motto of the plutocracy which rules
America from New York to Hawaii
Long live money, trusts, monopolies
close corporations and hard cash!
After us the deluge. Make room,
you common herd, for the progress
of the golden hydra headed dragon
of wealth.
The annexation crowd now hear d
in the United States admits freely
that Hawaii shall be governed by
Congress without regard to the
Constitution of the United States.
The S. F. Call says very ably in re-
ferring to the men who accomplish
ed the steal of Hawaii that
They throw to the winds every
principle of this Government. They
propose to annex and govern with
out consent of the governed. They
propose to tax without representa-
ton. They propose to erect different
rules and enforce different statutes,
J according to conditions" At home
will stand the eight hour law, the
prohibition of contract labor, the
restriction upon coolie immigration
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-07-22

One day the voice OF Lincoln rang
out from Cooper Union in New York
with the declaration that the
Government could not live under
such conditions OF inequality, that
between n freedom and slavery there
was an irrepressble conflict, aud if
the republic were to endure the
Union must be all free or all slave.
The cry of zone land and one law"
smote the fountain Of PATRIOTS m
and it was instantly affluent. The
land was filed with widows and
orphans; industry took burdens Of
taxation on its back; the people
gave up luxuries first and neces-
saries at last, as willingly, that there
might be one law for all. The
veteran heroes of that struggle are
yet with us. The verdure hardly
hides the battle fields where fell a
million OF men in that struggle for
equality. Yet we are told now that
dependencies" can be acquired and
governed by unequal laws; that in
such inequality there is no ir-
repressible conflict; that Lincoln
was mistaken; that the laurels Of
Gettysburg and Appomattox we're
i'll bestowed; that the constitution
does not limit the powers of govern
ment, and that the ancient cry Of
zone land and one law" was a
delusion.

tiish~ on Wheels.

A wheelman of West 46th street, New
York, was attacked, robbed and left
senseless by two highwaymen mounted
on bicycles in Central Park. Repeated
accounts of robberies by men mounted
upon wheels have appeared in the papers
in various parts of the country. Those
depredators of the health, diseases of
the kidneys and bladder, will likewise
escape arrest, and pursue their ~atrocious
career unchecked, unless they are ar
rested by the potent Intervention of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the finest diu=
rsctic, as we'll as tonic, known to modern
times. 1t is at the start that disease is
the more easily overcome. The use of
the Bitters is followed by the happiest
results in dyspepsia, liver complaint and
nervousness.

A Warning.

wish to give the people a bit of warn
ing against the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Insurance company of New York.
This is my experience: Ten years ago
| insured in that company for $1,000.
My policy read that the most that could
be collected was $3.50 every two months
and an annual fee of 50, or s35.o6'per
year, and at the end of five years l was
to receive a bond that in FIVE years
would reduce my premium. | have
never received the bond and four years
ago they raised my premium to $3.50
every two months and last January
raised it again to s1I.28 which would
make the annual payment s7o.68.
Can one have confidence in such a
company?
The premium on my policy in the New
York Life taken out at the same time
has been reduced almost one-third. So
l keep that insurance and have dropped
the Mutual Reserve.

w. T. Perkins of Bismarck, writing
from the Klondike colony. near Lake
Bennett, says: "Heard from Guptill on

More Russian sett,ees.

A colony of twenty-five Russian set
tiers for Hebron went west over the N.
P. Tuesday. They are said to be part of
10000 settlers from Russia and Rou-
mania that are headed for this state. An
other party of forty went through to
Harvey, some to Sykeston and others to
Fessenden, Bottineau, Voltaire and Nc
Henry county. At Dickinson there is a
colony of Bohemians and German Rus:
slams, which many of the new settlers
will join. This new colony, however, is
distinct from the others in that the Men,
nonites, recognized by the Russian gov
eminent as Quakers, being non-combat-
ants, are free to leave home, when they
please and are placed under no military
restraint as ordinary citizens ale.
There is an interesting history con-
nected with this movement, says The
Alert. One hundred years ago Russia
and Poland were engaged in wa and
one Of the considerations connected with
the treaty was that certain people should
be allowed to hold free lands for one
hundred years. Since that time many of
the farmers and laborers of the provinces
affected have emigrated to America,
most of them settling in the Northwest.
This is the last year of the freehold con-
c%ession, and 10000 settlers have to move
1t is understood that they will come to
America, nine-tenths of them settling in
the Dakotas, where several colonies are
now prospering, D. and c. Mciver of
of Liverpool; principal owners of the
Beaver line, have signed a contract with
an organization in Odessa in charge of
this movement, to carry between a hun
dred and a hundred and fifty each week
this season.-Forum.

During the. summer of 1891, Mr.. Chas.
P. Johnson, 4 we'll known attorney of
Louisville, KY, had a very severe attack
of summer complaint. Quite a number
of different remedies were tried, but
failed to afford any relief. A friend who
knew what was needed procured him a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cholera and Di.
arrhea Remedy. which quickly cured
him. and. he thinks, saved his life. He
says that there has not been a day since
that time that he has not had this remedy
in his household. He speaks of it in the
highest praise and takes much pleasure
in recommending it whenever an oppor-
tunity is offered. For sale by ]. ]. Free

The Tacoma Ledger says, in regard to
the passage of the North Dakota troops
through that city, that though the hour
was early Sunday, May 20, they were
not allowed to pass without a friendly
greeting. Mayor Johnson Nickeus, Miss
Lizzie Nickeus and a party of ladies' and
gentlemen friends were at the depot to
meet the train, each member of the
party carrying a basketlof the prettiest
roses to be obtained in all the city. The
train arrived at 4:5o a. m. and left after
only half an hours stay. OF the soldiers
the Ledger said: They were of a rug
ged intelligent type and if the rest of the
infantry regiment is composed of the
same class of men the North Dakota
troops will make a brilliant record dur
ing the service in the Philippines.
The Nickeus family went to Tacoma

The N. D. boys while digging sinks in

murder, North Dakota gets the souven'

1t now develops that there is no law
compelling Uncle Sam to reimburse the
state for money expended in mobilizins
the troops. 1t will probably be done
but may take time.
