PRISON REMINIsoHNcEs.

THE INDEPENDENT hos asked me to
jot down few "reminiscences Of my
arrest and imprisonment in Oahu
Jail on this day six years ago. AS
the object is to refresh the memory
OF the legislators as to the condition
OF the present Jail and encourage
them to grant a liberal appropria.
tion for proper prison, and to re-
mind them of the plank in the plat
form OF the Home Rule party pro-
viding for substantial redress for
those who we're illegally imprisoned
in 1895, will try to remember some
OF the events, which took place on
that memorable day, when | and
many other Innocent men we're
rudely cast into felon's cell at the
pest hole known as Oahu prison. l
shall mention no names; most of my
fellow. sufferers from thoss days
have crossed the Styx or left the
country, but there are still goodly
number left who have not forgotten
the outrage committed on us.

There was now big commotion

there ttood about 40 well known
citizens just brought in and sui jsct
ed to tearch. Doors vera opened
and We we're doubled up" 1t was
a great relief to me when I found
my friend, the tx Attorney General,
as my cell-mate, and | soon re
covered my equanimity. The first
days were simply torture. Food uu
fit to eat were slapped into our
cells on tin plates without forks
aud knives, and tin-cups Fl led With
something they called tea we're
placed befo'e us together with hard
tack. Remember, wa were not con
victed felons, but political suspeats
only, against whom no charges had
BEEN made even. and yet we were
subj eted to a treatment that hard
ly would he the lot of a political
prisoner in Russia even.

We were not allowed to see hs
newspapers, and we were in a blapk
IN regard to the doings in the town.
We devised means however, by
which we got the news. In the wing
opposite the Que in which my cage
WAS, resided another member Of the
mensgorie, with who | was on very
friendly terms. One day, it was a
Wednesday, he said TO me. "I anu

warned him Fl, IN taking any risk
with the prison doctor. He said, he
wouid have his own drctor handy,
and that, if We we're net relea'ed on
Thursday, he would be in the hos-
pital on Friday. l lsughed and
thought no more about it. On
Friday morning the keeper opened
the cages as usual, and We walk d

minutes later the doors to the cages

had occurred on Sunday night, got
my first information as to a con
spiraoy or revolution brewing.

found that none OF my Hawaiian
employees had turned up except an
office boy, who confdentially told
me that all my men were with Will
koki. By this time martial Law had
been declared, and a general feeling
of uneasiness prevailed. Ga every
street corner were groups OF men
telling each other what they would
do if they were in command, and
singing the usual old song about II

l p. M, WAS standing outside my
office talking With a number OF troy

Attorney Generals. A friend OF
mine, a staunch royalist. crossed ths
street and said that he wanted to
see me privately. l walked with him
to Nuuanu street, expecting him to
invite me to go into his saloon,
which had been closed, for refresh-
ments, when he told me that he was
special officer and entrusted with
the task of arresting me. 1t is bad

The first thing we noticed on en-.
tering the prison WAS the sickening
stencil from the latriues. The sani-
tary condition Of the prison was
scandal, and to the pestiierous at.
mosphere do attribute the many
deaths which have occurred among
those who we're imprisoned, and the
shattered health of some who yet
survive. The use of the bucket sys-
tenn in the cells is even worse than
the defective cesspools. The bucket
sys,em is the essence of filth, and it
is difficult to understand that a
government priding itself upon it's
modern institutions could have tol-
Grated system that North Am
erican Indian wouldn't allow in his
hut.

our prosperity is based largely On nat

Our farm products, our OIL and gas,
our stone and cement and coal and

Few communities have gone ahead
with greater confidence or better re-

cities and towns in many cases from

a vast amount of earnings in the found

THE UNSYMPATHETIC DAVIS.

The writer of a recent newspaper
article speaks of Jefferson Davis as
follows:
Professor Beers, writing in the At
lantic on Literature and the Civil
War; finds that Jefferson Davis sis
not sympathetic figure in the pict-
ure of the war;" that s'there was
something rigid, narrow and bitter
about him." Davis figure seems,
indeed, to be diminishing as the years
GO by, while Lee and Jackson loom
larger, not merely at the north. but
at the south as well.
have never read anything about
Davis that improved my own impress
sion of his character; but the average
northerner born since the civil war
will be found ready to speak with
great respect, if not with cordial adj
miration, of Lee, Jackson, "Jeb''
Stuart and less famous but equally
valiant soldiers on the southern side.
There appears to have been little gen.
erosity in Da lis's makeup; | have
never heard an anecdote illustrating
any such quality, as against a liter
allure of stories everywhere current
proving Lincoln's practice of all the
Christian virtues.
At Richmond, where every effort
has been made to throw something of
nobility and majesty about Davis s
character, l found that mot marble
nor the giided monuments" which are
there presented to quicken memory in
his behalf gave me any thrill, though
"Jeb" Stuart's hat, with the plume,
and Lees sword and Jackson's last
order gave me a sense of contact with
greatness. The differences between
Davis and his generals is not to be
explained wholly by the gulf which
separates the sedate methods of a
civilian from the spirited life of a
soldier. Lincoln was a civilian, too,
"a civilian" wrote Lowell, "during
times of the most captivating military
achievement, and yet none of his
generals has ObScured his memory.
The sympathy which men instinct
lively feel for lost causes does not Gen.
ter about Jefferson Davis, but it seems
to End Judgment more and more in
the soldiers, who fought his battles:
and this is not the fault of the cause,
but of Davis himself. He inspires
neither the poet nor the biographer.

BARRETT TO THE DELEGATES
United States Commissioner to Pan
American Gives Good Counsel.

John Barrett, of the United States
delegation TO the Pan-American con-
ference, who left Mexico City fol
Washington last week, made fare
we'll speech to the delegates of the
conference before leaving. the impress
sion of which is said to be excellent.
He begged his South American col
leagues to remember the special con
ditions under which the United States
delegation had to work. The deci-
sions of the conference, as far as the
United States was concerned, were
dependent for approval on the action
of the United States senate, and that
body had to consult the varying in
terests and feelings of forty-five in
dependent states, whereas it must be
remembered that all the Latln-Ameri-
can delegates to the conference put
together only represented eighteen in
dependent states. The American
delegates have realized, continued Mr..
Barrett, that they had to contend
against some degree of opposition
here, not on the part of the Mexican
people, but the clerical press. How
ever, they fully understand that the
clerical press represented nothing but
itself.
Mr.. Barrett went on to correct the
statement made by Senior Anadon of
Argentina at the previous session to
the effect thit the United States was
surrounded by Chinese wall in the
shape of its tariff. The tariff, explain
ed Mr.. Barrett, had not been hastily
developed. 1t was the outcome of the
necessities of the American people
and the expression of the resultant in
terests of forty-five different states.
At present nearly 80 per cent of the
United States imports come in free OF
duty and the United States hope. said
MIR. Barrett, to be still more liberal in
the future.
Mr.. Barrett went on to allude to
the rumorS that had been current of
the withdrawal of certain nations
from the conference in case this or
that thing were left undone. He
sincerely deprecated such talk. He
exhorted all the delegates to remain
until their labors were concluded so as
to achieve practical results and to
bring about the greatest good for the
greatest number. All should be pre-
pared to make some concessions and
realize that no one can have bis own
way in everything. He felt confident
that the rumOrs referred to were I'M
true, and that the conference would
be attended with good results to the
nineteen nations represented.
