He Had Finished.

After waiting some time, the robber
ordered all the teams to drive on, tell
ing the soldiers to get into one of the
stages and ordering two of the pas
sengers to mount the saddle horses and
go down the road and stay half hour
before returning.
The passengers started out, but had
not gone over 300 yards when they met
Major Rucker and Captain Wilcox
with the cavalrymen. Upon being in
formed of the situation the officers
hurried to the scene of the holdup. In
the meantime the TObber ATTEMPTED to
open the express box. but, seeing the
soldiers upon him, disappeared in the
brush. leaving the express box IN
opened a box containing clothing for
disguise, cartridges and field glasses.
The cavalry scattered IN pursuit, but
afterwards gave up the chase.
The rObber spoke with d Swedish &C

with that of the man who held up two
stages at Big Oak Flat on May IS. He
gave the driver of one of the stages
q card bearing the legend, THE Black
Kid, saying, L hope we will get bet
ter acquainted, old man"
From the three stages he collected
about $3.50.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.

CULVER, a seaman who travelled far
and wide, and whose biography has
been put into excellent English by the
late lamented Dean Swift, of st. Pat
ricks Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland, has
left some valuable remarks upon the
strange and wonderful countries that
he visited. He saw life, in his time
from the smallest to the greatest. From
Iiliput to Brogdignag. The names in
themselves being creation of genius
one of them holding it's own in our Ian
guage under the adjective "liliputian,"
with is incorporated in our tongue at
present.
In his researches, CULVER studied
the politics of the countries, which he
visited, and learned many things which
succeeding generations have studied
most assiduously Indeed 1t has often
been remarked that while we introduce
Defoe, Mrs. Marcy, Browning, Shake
speare, Whittier, Longfellow and others
into the curriculum of our literary
courses, the works of Mr.. CULVER do
not have that attention that they
should have.
Take for instance that terrible feud
which brought dire disaster to LiIiput
1t is a well known one, the intrigues of
the big Endians" against the Little
Endians." 1t was a question of eat
ing eggs. Should you eat them from
The small or the big end? Naturally
parties were formed, and as the
strength of votes came, those who were
adverse to the dominant party, no mat
ter what their ability might be, were
ANONYMOUSLY turned out of office. And
the thing was perfectly justifable.
Could man be good judge if he
Clipped off the big end of his egg, when
a little end ministry was in power?
Could collector-generalo of customs of
the port of Liliput do his duty if he
Clipped off the small end of his egg for
breakfast, when the Big Endians were
running the country? Neither PROPOSE
ton could be entertained for an instant.
The newspapers of Liliput teemed with
excellent articles on the subject, but
unfortunately Mr.. CULVER lost his
scrap-book in one of his many wrecks.
But CULVER, after all, was but a
transient traveller, and though he got
a job as Admiral of the Fleet, he quit,
like Admiral Dewey and politics were
his ruin. He had to quit even Liliput
and Blafascu the rival territory. The
later history of Liliput comes from an
other pen. It is a very rare work and
The Star felicitates it's readers on the
few notes that 1t has received at imm-
nent risk.
After Gulliver's departure, the rank
and file began TO think. They slowly
realized that when the Little Endians"
were in power, all eggs went to them,
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-05-02

not an egg to any one outside the party.
II is presumable that--but there. II
would not be fair to mention Tim MUIR
rays name, who ever gave the advice
was sound.
But then the hungry Liliputians when
they turned to the big Endlans" and
sent them to the top OF the heap with
"whoop and hollo," while the little
Endians" had to hunt their holes, and
pull them in afterwards, found they
got no more eggs thar before. All the
eggs were required for the party and
still Liliput got hungry and could not
get jobs for its younger sons, and not
even a commission as policeman before
the Queens palace-that portion which
was desecrated during the celebrated
fire in Gulliver's time. Those who have
studied Dean Swift's works will remem-
Der that there was little scandal con-
nected with the event-and Jim Ken
needy said-but that is a secret.
Finally these wretched Liliputiars
said, 1--WE will have nothing to do with
either Big Endians, or Little Endians
III. OuI lOGdl dlLdiIS. w hat We WttAAN ~
share of the national eggs for the
best of our people. We do not care
which end they may chip their eggs"
they even got head of Hogan, a lyric
poet of future century, and used as
a refrain to one of their silly campaign
songs "all eggs look alike to me"
which had quite a run through the
Kingdom. And these wretched people
went and elected men to their local
Offices on that outrageous platform, and
were better ruled, had their finances
better administrated, and were happier
than ever they were before. Which
shows what a fairy story has been told
by the traveller after CULVER. For it
is certain no country can get on without
it's Big Endians and it's Little Endians.

UNWISE.

The news of our territorial bill is by
no means as encouraging as it was by
the last mail The Senate has asked
for a conference committee, and a good
many of our principal men think that
there is quite chance of the bill not
being passed during the present session.
Under these circumstances it seems
very unwise for us on the Islands to
split up into factions and parties until
we have our actual status assured.
When we were struggling for annexa-
ton we did not do our work upon party
lines Our aim, and our platform, was
annexation and nothing else. 1t was
not annexation to the Republican party
or to the Democratic party, but it was
annexation to the United States.
So now with the territorial bill. We
do not want to antagonize the Republi-
cans nor do we want to antagonize the
Democrats. We have friends in both
parties. We have among our leading
men here, who have struggled for an
nexation and who are doing their ut
most to further the territorial bill,
luOSe WHO are SylhpdlHS,
and those who are Democratic in sym
patty but they are united as to their
views upon the territorial needs.
1t therefore seems unwise to start out
upon organizations such as it is pro-
posed to form tonight. What we want
is unity upon our main desire. We can
run our party divisions upon party
lines afterwards, but do not let us make
the mistake of sending out to the Main
land press any statement that we are
all Republicans or all Democrats; that
we favor gold or we favor silver, or the
dozen other great issues which perfect
1y honest and honorable men differ
upon. 1t may be useless to give advice
to hot headed partisans, but a careful
consultation with leading business
men, men whose property interests are
of great value, shows that the consen-
sus of opinion among them is that the
meeting called for this evening is a
very unwise step, and likely to be det-
rimental to the main issue at stake, and
they urge that the best thing to do al
the present crisis in our affairs lis MOI
to hold any meeting at all. The adj
vice is good and it should be laid to
heart, United we advance; divided we
fall

THE BOER WAR.

The Boer war has again entered upon
an aggressive stage and reports of
vast movement forward fill the papers.
The question whether the plans which
Lord Roberts has laid for bringing the
raiding masses of the Beers to action,
by cutting off their retreat northward
will be settled in a very short time. A
victory under such circumstances
would relieve Mafeking, and clear the
That done, the advance on Pretoria
could be pushed rapidly. Lord Roberts
strategy is to be depended upon; it is
of the slow, but sure kind, and as he is
man who keeps his own council his
plans do not leak out. Many of his
higher officers do not even know his
objective point until the last moment
In this way, whatever the commander
in chief succeeds in doing, comes as a
surprise.
The roads are reported as in bad con-
dition, and this, of course, will consid-
erably delay in advancing and bringing
up supplies. On the other hand disease,
which has been prevalent among the
horses, ceases with the cold weather, so
that the animals will be the better able
to stand the strain that they will be put
to. 1t must be remembered that this is
the beginning of winter on the other
side of the equator.
Sir Charles Warren has been removed
from active service and sent to take
charge of a remote dependency west of
the Orange River Free State. This
marks the commander in chiefs dis
pleasure over his Encouragement at
the Spion Kop disaster General Cat
acre has been sent back to England.
What will happen to Butler remains to
be seen. These changes will send new
men to take charge of important COM
mands and will undoubtedly result in
preventing the useless loss of life which
these generals caused.
Though active measures are again in
progress, it cannot be said at present
that the end of the war is in sight.

The imports of the ISLANDS, in spite
of the plague show wonderful in
crease. for the first quarter of 1900. The
total increase is somewhat over mil
lion and quarter. The figures for eX-
ports will shortly be available and then
some comparison can be made, but
reasoning by analogy after looking over
the reports of the Collector General for
1899, the imports, even at this high
figure will fall far below the exports.

it was not original. The game has been

HURT IN AN EXPERIMENT.
A Johns Hopkins Professor Injured

and possibly seriously injured on Tuesday
night by an explosion He is now con-
lined to the Johns Hopkins Hospital with
very discomforting facial injuries, and
there Is grave concern about his eyes.
1t Is said the accident occurred while Dr.
Abel was working with a diminished
pressure apparatus. This is one used fos
the purpose of securing partial vacuum,
the air being pumped from a chamber
until there is less pressure on the interior
of the vessel than on the outside of it,
1t is thought that sudden influx of gas
into such chamber caused sufficiently
heavy pressure to burst II and that the
