The Passing Of Geronimo


 After long period of imprison- ment, which he has endured more like ferocious wild beast than human heinz, Geronimo, one Of the most bloodthirsty Indians that ever figured in the history of this country. has gone stark mad.
 He sa prisoner at Fort Sill, Okla homa, and it cost the government SI ,OO0. 900 aud hundreds of lives before he was safely behind lock and key. Deprived of liberty as punishment for his crimes he could not stand the con- finement. For fourteen years he has been prisoner of war, for the last ten years at Fort Sill.
 For almost half century Geronimo led band of bloodthirsty Apaches m the warpath. He was terror to early settlers in the southwest. At l6 his people crowned him war chief be- cause he led them into bloody war successfully.
 In 1882 he and Victoria, with 6O0 Apaches, were attacked by Mexican soldiers. Victoria was captured and beheaded; Geronimo escaped and be- came the great war chief.
 In March 1886, after four years of constant chase, General Miles and Major Lawton cornered Geronimo and his warriors.
 After four months of starvation, aud when all hope of cutting their way through the cordon of troops sur rounding them had gone, the Indians raised the white flag and surrendered. They were sent under a strong guard to the military post at Mount Yer non, Alabama, but the climate there did not agree with them, and great many of the band died of consump- tion. About ten years ago Geronimo and his surviving braves were re- move by the government to Fort Sill, in the Indian Territory -Ex.

NEGRO LABoRERs.

The Introduction into Hawaii Of
10000 negroes will be an evil the
magnitude of which ia hard to real
ize yet. We surely have enough Of
race questions to deal with here
without adding an inAux OF negroes
and Puerto Rcaps and, we presume,
shortly, Filipinos will add to the
complication. The negroes are the
most undesirable class OF people.
They are ignorant, brutal, lazy, and
immoral, 1t is all nonsense to Iay
that tha crimes we read OF from
every S ate in the South ara COM
mitted by the low classes Of the
cities. 1t is not 80. 1t is farm hands
and men who work iu the cotton
fields who have made it necessary
for Judge Lynch to sit in perma-
nent session and try to stop out
RACES by tho uso OF the stake, the

such class Of men in Hawaii. The

pie whose homes are here, as long
as the dividends are Of goodly

Bremen, San Francisco, and other
places where the absentee barons

know we'll that when demonstrated
with for bringing such undesirable
classes OF people as negroes and
Puerto Rcaps to this country the
answer will be supercilious smile
and what are you going to do

the best interests OF the HawsiiAus,
including ell OF whom whose home
is Hawaii nei, at heart it will keep
on hitting at the sugar barons'
pockets until they cease to import
the most obnoxious classes as labor

ron's heart is in vain, to his head is
futile, but touch his pocket and he
gives way. The only consolation is
that it will take time before the 10,
