THE END NOT YET.

Dreyfus has again been pronounced
guilty-has been condemned but not
convicted. The court martial which
heard but did not weigh the evidence
knew for what purpose it was selected.
1t was made up of subalterns who were
compelled to convict Dreyfus or their
superiors. SO the French military-rot-
ten to the very founda tion--nlust be up
held at all hazards. The present hopes
and future aspirations of the powers
that be, as well as those of the obscure
members of that court, would have
been shattered by a verdict of acauit-
tai.
France, If it continues to be dominat-
ed by the present military regime, will
soon degenerate to an unenviable posi-
ton alongside it's Latin sister, Spain.
This is a sad commentary on the coun-
try Of Lafayette, and on the success of
the third republic of the former empire
of Napoleon, in which this country has
more than sisterly interest. But
France has evidently not yet learned
the true principles on which success
full republic must be founded-that
cliques and classes must not be allowed
to dominate--that Jews and Protestants
and Catholics are equal and entitled to
the same recognition and treatment
from the government
But there are those who pretend to
believe better end of the Dreyfus case

prisoner and for Francois in store

MoFFATT GIRLS ALL RIGHT.


A good story comes from Huntington
w. Va, which reads as follows
Bill Mercer. of Racoon Creek. fif-
teen miles south of this city, is probab-
ly the happiest mortal in the county.
He came here last evening to secure his
fifth marriage license and wines and
other delicacics for the wedding and
Unfair" that is to follow.
Mr.. Mercer has just passed his fif-
tieth year and was married to his first
wife when 10. She was Miss Jennie
Maffatt, and the four successors to the
Mercer martial yoke have been her SIS
tiers, Ada, Catherine, Missouri, and this
evening Miss Anna will take their place.
She is &c, good looking and favored
Mercer in preference to a we'll known
young man of the Racoon neighbour
hood. There is but one more of the
Moffatt girls left and she is now 20.
Strange to relate. the parents of the
girls made no objections to their daugh-
tiers wedding Mercer. They are a con-
sumptive family and this disease has
carried off most of the Mrs. MERGERS.
Mr.. Mercer is the father of eight child
rem. born during wedlock with the Moi
fats so far. When spoken to of the pc
culiar feature about his marriages he
replied that he just simply fell in love
with the Moffatt family. He is in fairly
good circumstances and prepared to
make his wedding on this occasion out
do all of it's predecessors"

DOM PAUL AND HIS BLUFF.

Dom Paul and his advisers know what
they are about. 1t is not reasonable to
suppose that they are foolish enough to
engage in hostilities with nation like
England, that could mass on the bor-
ders of the South African republic an
population-men women and children.
white and black-un1ess forced into 1t.
Kruger is acquainted with John Bull.
He is aware that the buster and
threats of few officials do not mean
war-that they do not express the senti-
ments of a nation, any more than do
the unpatriotic If not idiotic mouthings
of Atkinson and those of his ilk in our
own republic. He knows the element in
the British empire that is jealousy
anxious to show the world, since the
American victories over Spain, that
they can fight, too, is small. Therefore
Kruger is playing little game of bluff
and will do the next best thing If his
bluff is called.
While there are doubtless many mat
tiers in need of adjustment in the South
African republic, and while the English
residents there have some cause for
complaint the sympathies of majority
of the people of this nation are with the
Beers. They have doubly Won their
title to the Transvaal and to independ-
ence-first by wars with the natives,
although their subsequent treatment of
the natives has been marked with
tyranny: and secondly, by their DEM
constructions of ability to rule them
selves, gained after long experience
marked with many grevous plumbers.
The British demands, if not generally
misunderstood, would endanger the life
of the republic if acceded to. 1t is
equivalent to asking that the Trans
wall grant to the outlanders-the for
lization and the right of franchise with
out foreswearing allegiance to their for
eign governments. AS the outlanders
greatly outnumber the Beers and are
largely British subjects, they could
vote to annex the republic-with all its
vast diamond and gold fields-to the
empire. This is what the Beers fear
and what the war party in England /!
supposed to desire to attain.
/ AS before remarked, there are many
defects and evils in the laws of kru-
gers domains, but the Beers will no,
allow them to be remedied at the ex-
pense of independence. If Britain mus
rule, the hardy pioneers of the some
what crude republic viii comps her tc
do SO at the expense of war and all its
results. The Beers can fight-in fact
have not been exceedingly peaceful
since they 'trekked" across the from
tier and first destroyed the kraals of the
I Zulus.

one to wish she had been fair to Drey-

ment in England and this country to
boycott the Paris exposition in 1900.

ANATWE'S CAREER
What Honesty and Hard
w ork Will Do.
How William Kamana Made HIS
Way TO Position and Com
potency

| 2 VIM. Kamana, the well-known Ha-
W allan, celebrates the 18th anniversary
of his marriage today and in his happi-
ness he gives this sort outlines of his
ups and downs through life in the hope
OF encouraging some young Hawaiian
TO manly effort.
Mr.. Kamana was born at Waihee,
Maui, of poor parents in the year
years of age, travelling daily four miles
for instruction and paying his own
tuition by manual labor. Leaving
school at IS years of age he went TO
work under contract on a sugar plan
tation at $40 per month. At the end Of
three years he was receiving $13 per
month and had the confidence and
goodwill of his employers.
In 1879 he went to work as luna III
the Ookala plantation of which Col. j..
II. Soper afterwards became manager.
He began work here at s35 per month
and found; when he left six years
later in 1885, his salary had been ad-
vanced to $50 and found" per month.
In 1886, Col. J. II. SOper, who had
become Marshal, and under whom Mr..
Kamana worked at OOkala sent for
him to come to Honolulu to fill the
position of night-watchman Of the
Government building. Owing TO the
political changes of 81, Mr.. kamana
was reduced to ordinary police under
Marshal KaulukOu. Through obe1i-
ence and faithfulness he soon reached
step by step the police captaincy. i"-
der the Marshalship OF c. b. Wilson
Mr.. Kamana once more lost bis cob
through political changes.
Nothing daunted, Mr.. Kamana, who's
hands were always ready for any kind
OF work, went down to the wharves
and handled freight for the steamers.
In 1891 he worked as freight hand for
five or six months fer the Oahu r. r.
Co. then went to work on the sea-Wall
under Mr.. Mcintosh, then Superintend-
ant of Public Works.
Mr.. Kamana was soon afterwards
recalled by Marshal Wilson to the Cap
taincy Of Police which position he held
up to the overthrow Of the monarchy
Politics again buffeted him and he be
came a modest detective under genial
Marshal W. G. Ashley.
Soon after the late Judge Hitchcock
became Marshal, Mr. Kamana was Civ
en- the position Of Captain Of Guards
ard Turnkey at Oahu Prison, where he
has advanced to the. responsible billet
OF Deputy-Jailer.
Mr.. Kamana has in spite Of many adj
verse conditions which do not exist
today to the young Hawaiian, carved
out for himself a most cOmmendable
and successful career and his LIES eX-
ample could be profitably followed ~
any young man. During his f0rty-fve
years of lifetime he has been able by
hard work, economy and self restraint
to amass a modest fortune that could
carry him comfortably through the
rest of his life and, through fidelity to
trust, has gained the Conscience Of all
whom he has served under.

value of literary society to young
people who some day expect to mingle
