AFRICAN SLAV TRADE.
Capture Of Negroes In 1845 BY m
American Ships Crew.

Capture of Negroes in 164B by an
American Ships Crew.
The story of the first American voy-
age to Africa, Of which we have
definite record, tells us somewhat Of
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship, COM
manded by one Capt. Smith, went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
slaves. Sailing thence, with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast Of Guinea" for slaves. She found
some London slave vessels already
there, with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale.
that is, and to liven matters little.
the Yankees and the Londoners united.
and ION pretense of some quarrel with
tho natives landed 'murderer'-the
expressive name of small cannon-at-
tackled negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many of the inhabitants and made a
few prisoners, two Of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
in 1642-just twenty-six years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe, the
first American squaw man. False, pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter of inno-
cents characterized the first-recorded
gathering Of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
Of the inhabitants" and got two slaves
for their share Of the plumber. That
Capt. Smiths act was not according to
the ordinary usages of the trade may
be inferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
Of the voyage resulted in law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although 1t was not a GRIM
inal trial, one of the magistrates
charged the master with three-fold
offense-murder, man-stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain IS
capped punishment on these charges on
the srodES that the court mad no juris-
diction over crimes committed in
Africa "a decision that was typical Of

were returned home.-"The Slave

An Adventure.

Three smart young men and three nice
girls
All lovers true as steel
Decided in a friendly way
To spend the day awheel.
They started in the early morn.
And nothing seemed amiss;
And when they reached the leafy lane
They In nke
rode twos this!
They wandered by the verdant dale,
Beside the ripping rill:
The sun shone brightly all the while;
They heard the song birds trill.
They sped through many woodland
glade.
The world was full of bliss
And when they rested In the shade
Theysat intwos hketms!
The sun went down and evening came.
A lot too soon, they said:
Too long they tarried on the way.
The clouds grew black o'erhead:
Down dashed the rain! They homeward
flew.

Slipped sideways-Crash! Great Scott

What Mckinley Said.

Here is an utterance of VIM. McKin-
ley at the New England dinner in New
York City in 1890: Human rights and
constitutional privileges must not be
forgotten in the race for wealth and
commercial supremacy. The govern
ment by the people must be by the
people and not few of the people. 1t
must rest upon the free consent Of the
governed. Power. 1t must be remem-
bered, which is secured by oppression,
or usurpation. or by any form of in
Justice, is soon dethroned." Would
that President Mckinley would now,
in 1900, read, con and inwardly digest
this utterance of William Mckinley in
1890,

Cleveland and Morton,

Statesman j. Sterling Morton of Ne
braska, who has not allowed himself
to be forgotten even under the shadow
of Bryan's greatness, is responsible
for scheme to revive the gold Demo
crat movement by nominating Grover
Cleveland for president and himself
for second place. The only thing
which stands in the way of the sue
cess of his plan is Mr.. Cleveland's well
known aversion to re-entering public
life-but even that might be over
come.-Chicago News. We hope lit
tie thing like that will not deter his
royal fairness from making the race. If
he is elected he can hire substitute
as he did in the civil war.

SHOTGUN Piety.

Another example of shotgun piety
was afforded last Sunday by Bishop
Carl Cranston, in a sermon at Denver.
in which ne said:
at is worth any cost in money, 1t
is worth any cost in bloodshed, if we
can make the millions of Chinese true
and intelligent Christians"
That assertion might be reverently
doubted, If the true and intelligent
Christianity is typified by the man
who made the assertion. A whole
continent of such murderous minded
Christians wouldn't be worth to real
Christianity one drop OF heather

WASHINCTON'S OPINION OF
TRUSTS


In 177S General Washingtons army
was not in very good condition. 1t
needed food and clothing. in fact the
soldiers we're In rags, and with their
officers lived on the plainest Of food,
principally roots. Congress was strug-
Cling to supply him and his army with
the necessaries Of life. but 1t had
trouble with those who had the sup
plies, because they controlled the mar
ket and were not disposed to let them
go without being paid their own price.
1t was then that Washington wrote
Joseph Reed, president of congress, to
the following effect:
at gives me sincere pleasure to find
that the assembly OF Pennsylvania Is
so we'll disposed to second your en-
deavors in bringing those murderers
of our cause, the monopolizers, fore
stallers and engrossers, to condign
punishment. 1t Is much to be Ia
mented that each state long ere this
has not hunted them down as pests to
society and the greatest enemies we
have to the happiness Of America.
81 would to God that some one OF
the most atrocious in each state was
hung in gibbets upon a gallows five
times as high as the one proposed by
Hannah.
mo punishment, in my opinion, is
too great for the man who builds his
greatness upon his country's ruin.

SHOES OF SoUTHERNER
A. Rule Shorter Than the Northern
er's, with Higher Instep.

As q Rule Shorter Than the Northern
er's, with Higher Instep.
There is no doubt a marked differ
ence," said New Orleans shoe man
ufacturer, "in the size and shape Of
the average foot north and south OF
Mason and Dixon's line. A great deal
of nonsense has been written about the
so-called Creole last, but the shoe
best adapted to high-class southern
trade does possess certain distinguish
ing features of its own. 1t Is shorter
than the northern shoe, to begin with.
and has a much higher instep. The
difference in the instep varies from one
half to one and half inches, which is
equivalent to saying that man with
typical southern foot could not get
into a shoe made on typical nothern
last The Creole model cuts less of
figure in the trade now than it did
formerly, for two reasons: First, peo-
pie wear looser footgear at present
than they used to, and the distinctive
points are not so noticeable, and, sec
| ond, an immense number of northern
folks have come into the south, and
the local manufacturers cater to their
| patronage with a considerable percent
age of the factory output. But the ma
tive southern customer still calls for a
short high-arched shoe. In the old
| days every southern gentleman had his
boots and shoes made to order, and
the impression is even now pretty gen.
eral that no factory-made article can
possibly be as good as the hand-built
wares turned out by the antebellum
craftsman. That is a great mistake.
A high-class, machine-made shoe is
better than anything produced by hand.
| for the reason that the stitching is abb
solutely uniform throughout. In hand
work no two stitches are of exactly
the same tension, but on the machine
they are as like as so many peas. The
result of this uniformity is that the
shoe holds it's shape better and lasts
| longer. That is one point out Of many.
The only question is that of being fit
| ted, and lastmaking has been reduced
| to such an exact science that there is
no difficulty with any foot not abso-
lutely deformed." New Orleans Times

There is an odor of foreign influence,
especially English influence, about the
white house and the state department
that President Mckinley must abate
lest it become intolerable. 1t does not
require proof, but is matter of COM
mon knowledge that the great powers
of Europe mean to divide up China
among themselves. We want no part
in it. The whole scheme is contrary
tor all our traditions and the genius OF
our government. This country is not
Russia nor yet an adjunct of Great
Observation-Disclosures Times.

The NATIVE PARTY
Is A FALSE STEP
Isaiah Pahee, a Hawaiian, Makes
Forcible Argument Against
Such a Move.

Editor Advertiser-The attempt which
the Hawaiians have now made in
adopting the resolution for the organ1
ization Of an Independent or Homo
Rule party for themselves Is one of the
most unjustifable things they have ev-
er done. They have been told time and
again by men of qualified experience
that a party which holds aloof from
the two great parties of America will
never be recognized as party by Con-
gress. 1 am inclined to think that such
an avowal is sufficient for anyone 10
think for himself.
what privileges can a man get if h,,
should adhere to the principles of he
Independent party? 1t seems to me
that this party is asking the support of
all Hawaiians. and since l was born as
a Hawaiian. 1 would like to know
reason why should be an Independent.
1 should feel thankful IL anyone would
tell me what the Aloha Alma and Kalai-
alma Societies have ever done for the
queen and her people. II is ridiculous
for us TO believe the advice of men VINO
said that the Queen would get back 20
the throne on such and such a date, and
yet nothing of what they said has ever
been accomplished. Today we hear
them say TO each other to drop the at
tempt for the restoration of the mon
archy. l hope that those who have not
allied themselves with the Independent
party VIII make up their minds that IL
would be wise thing for them to Join
the Republican or the Democratic par
~. L am proud to say that 1 was an
'annexationist, and today a Republican.
L am too glad that the Tune has now
come when these Islands will have a
good government-a government which
we ought to be proud OLA government
by people who understand their duty.
and not by those who do not know how
70 manage at AL, and a government
which will give to each and every one
OF US the enjoyment to the fullest of
lie, liberty. prosperity and the pursuit
Of happiness. n
