PAY YOUR TAX IS.

We suggest to every taxpayer that
he pays his personal taxes to the
government prior to March 81. III
the territorial bill is passed there
may be an election in Hawaii in
November next and by hook and
crook the virtuous missionaries will
find some reasons to bar the Hawai-
ians from voting. | the Cullom
bill passes as amended the only
qualifications for a voter are virtu-
ally that he is citizan and has paid
a poll tax of one dollar. Under pre-
sent circumstances the tax collector
will refuse to receive one dollar as a
poll tax even if offered to him, but
when November comes the man
without his personal tax receipt will
be refused ballot because he did
not pay his poll tax. Every Hawai-
ian and foreigner who wishes to have
a voice in the public affairs of this
country should place himself on the
safe side and be sure that no tricks
on the part of the Dole gang can
balk him from casting his vote in
favor of government by the people
and for the people, Times are hard
and money are scarcs but we trust
that every man who hopes to see the
present regime relegated to obscu-
rity will have dull y certified tax
receipt in his hand when the first
territorial election takes place. We
may be mistaken in our advice but
it is better to bs on the safe side of
question especially when dealing
with the Dole -Thurston clique.

Will Be Recalled.

WAsHINaToN, Feb. 2S.-The fur
ther increase by the acquisition of
three more Spanish gunboa.s OF Ad-
miral Watson's naval force in the
Philippines, as reported by the ad-
miral yesterday, will, it is believed,
make it possible for the Navy De-
partment at an early day to recall
some OF the larger vessels now in
the Philippines. Admiral Watson's
acquisitions are larger vessels than
the mosquito fleet brought in upon
the Spanish evacuation OF the isl.
and. The General Axalava is a ves-
sci of 532 tons and the Quiros and
the Villelobos are gunboats OF 347
tons displacement. There is no
longer any need fos armored vessels
in the Philippines, for these little
gunbosts are more effective for the
suppression of Illicit communication
between the islands, 1t is probable
the Oregon and the monitors Mon
terey and Monadnock will soon be
ordered home
