talk at the time was that the boiler
was to be taken to Kalawao aud set
up for stesning taro. From that
time to the present nothing had
been done. The boiler and smoke
stack lay at Ksl,upapa for tie rust

presumably when all the lohioH taro

It ie not a nice matter to deal

We compliment Representative
Fred. W. Bsckley on his speech in
the House today ia which he strong
ly attacked the proposition of a
certain professor visiting here, of
"annexiug" the Territory OF Hawaii
to California. Mr.. Bsckley pointed
out that the scheme was entirely
un. American. He shove that the
amalgamation would mean that for
the second time the Hawaiisns
would lore self-government an1 he
showed that Hawai- would become
the dumping ground for the in
mates OF the Pest House OF San
Francisco and the jails. We were
pleased to notice that speakers
from the Republican side OF the
House endorsed Mr.. B4ckley, aud
that the resolution protesting
against the scheme OF Jordan g. Co.,
was passed unanimously. Repre-.

effect: Colonel Mazuma knows
we are bad enough but | believe we

behind this move are Of high moral
character. Wa take our hat off to
Tom Fitch, the Castles, Humphreys
and EStee. Far bs it from US to
write past history and show that re-
formers we're not always on the
path of virtue. Governor Cooper
has been forced to take the idiotic
step Of Singing 325 prostitutes over
the town. He is virtuous man Of
course, but he reaizsd the necessity
of having the Social evil" regulated
