Winter In the South.

The season approaches when ones
thoughts turn toward a place where
the Inconvenience of O Northern
winter may be escaped. No section
of this country offers such ideal
spots as the Gulf Coast on the line of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
between Mobile and New Orleans.
1t possesses a mild climate, pure air,
even temperature and facilities for
hunting and fishing enjoyed by no
other section. Accommodations for
visitors are first-class, and can be Sc
cured at moderate prices. The l.. &
N. r. r. is the only line by which 1t
can be reached in through cars from
Northern cities. Through car sched-
ules to all points in Florida by this
line are also perfect. Write for

jects to changing the rate table, and In

Idaho's Severe Nonamliate Law

Idaho's Severe Nonahlliate Law.
South, West and East.
At the late annual communication Of
the grand lodge of Idaho the recon-
mendation of Grand Master Storer that
the nonaffiliation resolution requiring de-
nit members to affiliate within six
months or be dismissed from the order be
repealed was not adopted. A resolution
was passed, however, requiring strict en-
forcement of the nonafliliation resolution.
1t is believed enforcement will result In
repeal of the resolution at the next ses-
sion of the grand lodge.-Trestleboard
From the earliest period of which any
record remains 1t Is apparent that the
law of Masonry has been that merit is
the only fraternal ground for advance
ment either to degree or to office.

Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-09-30

pendence and the restoration of the flag In this
case the commission were wise enough to pit
interests of each nation against the other and the
treaty of independence was the successful result
of the mission. And it is doubtful if annexation
could have resulted in the present instance but for
the war with Spain, which made the acquisition
of these islands matter of expediency to the
United States.
The restoration of the flag might again have
been hoped for through diplomacy, by pitting the
great powers against each other, as in 1843, but
for the new rule in diplomacy recognizing
spheres of influence" AS Hawaii is within the
sphere of influence of the United States no other
power, under this rule, has a right to protest if
the United States desires to gobbe islands within
her conceded sphere of influence All hope of res
toration must therefore, be considered futile. But
if the Washington Government and optimistic
Americans who have recently come to Our shores,
believe the spirit of Hawaiian independence is
dead they will be sadly mistaken. This spirit will
find vent in the demand for home rule, and if they
do not get it, the Hawaiian contingent, their sup
porters and American sympathizers, will become
very nasty thorn in the side of the administra-
ton, little as are. 1t is not at all improbable
that, when Anericanism becomes aggressive and
menaces local interest it surely will, the pro-
motors of annexation will become the most ardent
supporters of the Hawaiian cause.
