from the Paradise OF the Pacific has

the property to her, and, what is
evidently minor matter has failed
to waltz with her along the aisle
that leads to the altar. The name
OF the lady who claims that her
heartstrings have been lacerated by
the gay capitalist is julia A. Cal
houn, and while visiting Honolulu a
while ago she met numerous people
who were charmed by her pleasant

1t Is BlackmailingP

Annexation is rapidly civiizing
the Islands and our wealthy fellow
citizens will have to submit to the
blackmailing Of adventuresses who
take advantage of their weak mo-
ments to get promises OF sacks
OF the solid stuff and OF marriages.
Mr.. Frederick Wundenberg of this
city is the latest victim according to
the San Francisco papers and his
numerous friends here are shocked
that even IN insinuation should be
made against the validity OF his
word even if preferred by a pretty
widow.
OF course Mr.. Wundenberg will
be vindicated because he has never
been known to break his word. He
has had important positions under
the Government during the troubles
in 1887 when Gibson was the casus
belli, in 1898, when the overturn of
the monarchy took place, and in
1895 when he was imprisoned and
virtually expelled from the country.
Mr.. Wundenberg is single man
and is possessed with goodly por-
tion OF sugar stocks considered gilt
edged.
The fair widow who claims that
he laid siege to her heart in San
francisco states that he gave to her
houce and lot on Filbert street
near Tenth, in Oakland, Cali
fornia, and that he promised to make
her his WIFE
She further claims that while she |
has had full possession of the prem.

Ladysmith Relieved.

LONDON, March l, 9 a. MT is Of
icially announced that Ladysmith h
has heen relieved.
LONDON, March 2, 4:30 q. m.-Brit-
ons feel that they are living in the
presence Of nome ntous events. Tor
nadoes of patriotic excitement are
whirling through the country. Even
the dullest soul must have been
stirred by the emotions OF yesterday,
and London's 100000 were raised
to high pitch of patriotic exulta-
tion.
1t was wonderful sight. Old
men have nothing in memory with
which to compare the day. Some
likened it to Lucknow; others talk
ed of the fall of Sebastopol. 1t was
time of singular abandon. The
usual conventions of society ceased
to control, aud every one knew every
body else, all joining in smiles or
bellowings, as their dispositions
moved them.
Lord Lansdowne chose the psy-
Geological moment to announce
estimates exceeding f61, 100000, and
rather startled the public by un-
folding the program OF the War OF.
fee to send out, in addition to 50,-
600 troops now afoat, $4,000 fresh
soldiers.
Lord Roberts will ultimately have
force of quarter OF million. An
order has reached Woolwich for the
construction of 224 new guns, from
3-pounders to II inch guns. OF
these 140 are to he naval guns. AL
ready $4,000 workmen are employed
at the arsenal, and 5000 more will
be engaged. The decision to send
out more troops and to increase the
home armament meet with universal
approval. The Beers seem to have
got quite away from around Lady
smith without losing gun or their
baggage.
Van Rsenan's Pass issonly about
twenty miles from Ladysmith. The
enemy had artillery in action Tues
day, and they probably utilized both
railroads in retIeating, sending the
heavy pieces to Pretoria and the
lighter ones into the Free State.
DR.. Leyds says that General Jou.
bert is assembling $4,000 men at
Weinberg, seventy miles northeast
of Bloemfontein. Colonel Albrecht,
according to despatch from Paar-
deberg, affirms that the Beers have
$4,000 men left.
Whether Lord Roberts is at
Bloemfontein now or not, he doubt
less will soon be dating his des.
patches there and using the towE
as his advanced base.
Lord Kitchenei's mission is to
combine the forces under General
Clement and General Gatacre and
to advance along the line of the
railroad to Bloemfontein. The rail
way will simplify immensely the
perplexities of transport.

RELIEF FOR THE HAWAIIAN.

We cannot understand why the
Government cannot find work aud
employment for the numerous Ha-
waiians who are destitute o.day
owing to the "plsgue" fires. The
men, now released from quarantine
are asking for work not for charity.
We understand that the Ministers
refers them to the Hawaiian Relief
Society and say ''let the Society help
you, it has got plenty of money"
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1900-03-14

1t is fortunate that the Society
through the prudent management
OF the ladies in charge has sum Of
about $1,000 in its treasury, and we
don't think that anybody for
moment would consider it a good
policy to exhaust that amount in
supporting able bodied men willing
and anxious to go to work. The
sum in the hands Of the patriotic
ladies will disappear fast enough
while the needs of the truly needy
are being attended to. 1t will de-
mand the most extreme economy on
the part of the, treasurer to make
both ends meet, because it would
be considered an imposition on
charitable Honolulu to continually
ask for more money and more
especially for contributions to the
support of those who are willing to
work.

eminent and that it is the duty Of
the men in power, through whose
rash actsl they have become home

will have only too many calls which
deserve response on its surplus aud

The Bryanite papers are telling
us that the trusts are contributing
millions to the Republican cam
paign fund, but they never seem to
think that there might be Demo-
Gratis interested in the trusts, and
that if these contributions are
really being made some Of the
money must come from such Dem
ocrats. Should it be inferred that
only Republicans are connected
with the trusts? Are all the Or
ganizers of the great street rail
way monopoly in St. Louis, which
our last Democratic legislature
brought into being, supposed to be
Republicans? Sounds FOOLS h ,
doesn't it! The only monopoly or
trust coming under our personal
observation is composed entirely of
Democrats, and if they have made
any contributions to the Republi-
can campaign fund, let them be
exposed and driven out of the
Democratic party. 1t sometimes
seems to us that the drivelings of
an imbecile contain more sense
than is found in all the stock argu-
ments of the Bryanite newspapers.

Watch Them Bust.

Just watch the trusts ''bust."
There is not one Of the new combi-
nations that is not in trouble at
this time. The strongest of them
is shaky. The stocks are going
down. The water is being squeez-
ed out of the securities. Managers
have over-donc their pretences of
extraordinary prosperity. The
prosperity, great as it has been, is
not great enough to meet the
charges incident to over-capitali-
ization. The promoters have got
out Of all the great schemes they
promoted. The organizers of
trusts have disposed of their securi
ties to ''suckers." The securities,
deprived of the tricky support of
manipulating insidcrs,' 90 down.
And we are beginning to see the
truth, that trusts are most danger
est to those who are in them. The
trust question is solving itself, and
is doing so without injuring the
common people. The collapse of
stocks only hurts the gamblers and
the people who have tried to make
money on Inflated properties.
The men who sold their plants tc
trusts and then took the watered
stock of the trusts in part payment
are being squeezed. The cash they
got on the sales is drawing less
money, loaned out, than it drew
when invested in business. Except
in cases such As the American
Steel and Wire Shutdown, the
working people are not suffering
from trust troubles, and in the

for the shut down of the mills
All the trusts, with Il very few cx
ceptions, are destined to 90 the
same way. They are over capital
lied. They are all run, primarily,
as gambling enterprises, not as
legitimate businesses. They may
collapse, but the plants will remain,
and will be run, after a while, Oh
a business basis. The trust cpl
demic has been madness. The
madness is passing. The men bit
ten by it, who tried to make money
merely by issuing blocks of fiat
stock, will have to pay the penal
ty. And if things 60 on with the
trusts as they have been going re-
Gently, there will not be any trust
question in politics by next No
vember.-St. Louis Mirror.
