tIsY DIVINE RIGHT OF EMPEROR WILL.
IAN l..


the platform of the Republicans of the
Eighth Missouri district:
1--WE believe it to be the duty of Con-
gress, as declared by our President, to es-
4 ablish form of government suited TO
I territoEy that the providence of Almighty
God ard the fortunes of war have brought
under our control, to the end end that liberty
oppression and tyranny shall affict man
KIND no more.
Here We have the imperial dictum
laid down in so many words. Our
Congress alt Washington, D. c., is TO
take UP governmental burden of the
world and establish "a form of govern
sment suitable to the needs of, the Is
landers whom Almighty God and Mr..
| Mckinley, to say nothing of Hanna and
Wall street, have brought under our
.contrCd."
This Missouri Republican platform
reminds one of the famous "Hoc del
Kaiser poem, with variations placing
Mr. Mckinley in the title role and
boastiEg of the joint exploits of ME
and &c q.
Serio, lsly, and as the ST. Louis Re-
public uts it, this is fanaticism Of the
most ala rming and menacing character.
These M issouri Republicans have open
ly aband oned the Constitution as a
guide and have gone into world-pater-
nalism as a dispensation of Providence
like tIae, divine right of Kings. The
islanderss are not to govern themselves
or frame"a government suited tc their
condition, but the Congress of the
United STATES is to form a government
for them. The old doctrine that sover-
eighty resides in the people has been
given up. We are going to make laws
"to the end. that liberty shall reign
throughout tine world" The Republi-
can bosses of This country are to shape
legislation for all mankind.

snow white tarpaulin, upon which the
young people tripped the graceful
measures OF the art Terpsechorean to
strains OF enchanting music discoursed
by the mandolin orchestra and piano
hidden among the vines on the verauda.
Hammocks in large numbers were
swung among the trees as resting

The scene within was no less lively than
that on the lawn. The interior OF
the dwelling was brilliantly lighted, the
decorations being done in fragrant
sweet peas. transforming each room ir.

who had tired Of the frolic on the lawn

refreshments. The streets about the
residence were thronged with people

WILCOX so DECLARES Ii
SHEE.
Court Rules That Proxy Marriage in
China Was Legal and That Little
Woman Has Two Husbands

In the police court yesterday after
noon Judge Wilcox found Ii Shee, Chi
nese woman, guilty of polygamy and
sentenced her to be imprisoned for one
month and to pay fine of 500.
Twelve witnesses were examined. All
of those for the prosecution testified as
to the guilt of the woman. There was
a strong defense. The final clash was
in whether or not Hawaiian law would
recognize a marriage by proxy solem-
nized i'm China. The court decided that
ii would.
The case is a peculiar one, and on that
account the court sentence was not as
severe as it might have been. There
viii be an appeal, and undoubtedly side
features Will grow out of it. In the
meanwhile the case is the one topic of
gossip throughout the Chinese colony
Many of the most prominent Mongo-
lians are greatly worked up over it.
AS previously stated the woman was
married in China to a man in Honolulu.
1t seems that the laws of the empire do
not require that the groom be present
at such a ceremony. On the other hand
any other man or almost any sort of
dummy may be used to impersonate the
happy lord of the occasion. In this
case it is claimed that rooster was
used, and the bride made her marital
VOWS to the bird, as though it were her
future husband.
Coming to HOnolulu she heard that
the man she had married or promised
to marry, as the case may be, lad a
wife already. She forthwith refused to
meet him and married another. Hence
the arrest and trial for polygamy.
