pIiuv soper Wants a Change.

Topeka, Nov. 3O.-It is reported in
political circles here that Pliny Soper,
nc present United States attorney for
the indian Territory, wants to resign
that Job and become clerk of Judge
j. A. Gill's court. Mr.. Soper's pres
ent position is a very comfortable
one, but his commission will expire
next year and there is no certainty
that he will be reappointed. The
other office that he seeks Is for four
years and a very lucrative one. One
obstruction in his way Is Senator
Mark Hanna, who wants to put an
Ohio man in. Judge Gill was ap-
pointed upon the recommendation of
Cyrus Leland, and Soper is Mr.. Le-
lands nephew.

DENVER, COLORADO.
EDITOR GRAPHIC:
Some time ago wrote for your pa
per some facts about education in our
! new possessions, as gained at first
hand from our Denver teachers en-
gagged in the schools Of Honolulu.
Will the story Of the raising of the
Stars and Stripes and the lowering of
the dag of the islands be rs interest
ing?
The story was given to me by an
eye witness. On July II. 1898, almost
the entire city population was massed
about the executive building to see
the change of flags representing the
old and new governments. Just at
the close of the ceremonies the Ha-
waiian flag, which had been floating
grandly above the city, suddenly
dropped, then furled completely, with
out particle of seeming life, and as
the cord was loosened dropped and
fell. The people burst into tears, even
to President Dole. The sight seemed
as though the emblem felt the death of
the kingdom.
The Stars and Stripes were carried
upwards amid the cheers of thousands
OF spectators, the booming of cannon
and the inspiring music of the Assem-:
bled military bands.
The wind caught the folds and spread
it out in all its beauty, where it fioated
in majestic grandeur, the symbol of
freedom and justice.
This direction is given in answer to
SHOW can you find the Hawaiian
islands?' Steer straight west from
Mexico until you find the Stars and
Stripes floating above dry land and
you will be at the place you seek.
Distance may prejudice one against
this wonderful acquisition. Honolulu
to San Francisco is 100 miles; to
Hong Kong 4 300 miles. A little pleas
ure in knowing it is more than two or
three times as far from any land
grabbing nation as from our own.
Honolulu and Hilo show their Amer
lean relationship by being base ball
towns. There are three fourishing
boat clubs also, who have taken much
interest in the race for America g cup
SO recently settled in favor of the
Columbia.
The Grand Army of the Republic
has a post here, the first organized
out of the United States which sur
vived to get inside. There is also one
camp of Sons of Veterans. The Sons
and Daughters of the Revolution have
each strong society. Two councils
of the American Legion of Honor are
of long standing.
The Y. M. c. A. has long been one
OF the most prosperous and prominent
institutions of Honolulu.
Some things will always seem a
little strange to the natives, even when
they become accustomed to our gov
eminent and used to voting for presi-
dent. They say: christmas and
Fourth of July come around SO close
after each other that one always has
to scratch his head to think which one
comes next A. N. M,
