the Montfort Mail, was offered $40
and refused 1t.
These are facts supported by affi-
davits. Further, Mr.. Goldsmith says
that he accompanied Arthur Meg
gett, printing clerk in the office Of
the secretary Of state at Madison, on
a tour of Grant county, visiting the
Herald at Lancaster, the Witness
and the Journal at Platteville, the
Cuba City News, the Montfori Mail,
the Fennimore Times and the Mus
coda Waterman; that Meggett told
him that all those papers had been
got at different prices; Meggett in
timating that the prices ranged from
about $50 for the vigilant Waterman
of Muscoda to about $1,000 for the
heroic Herald Of Lancaster.
The detailed story of the debauch-
ing Of the Grant county press occu-
pies three long newspaper columns.
There are convincing indications of
the sam. means being employed i'll
other counties; thus the number OF
papers in the state antagonizing the
governor is explained.
The Milwaukee Sentinel, itself the
first purchased organ Of the Pfister
league, attempts TO break the force
of the damning showing. 1t repre-
sents that Goldsmith, the principal
witness in the case, has recently been
appointed deputy game warden, and
was thus induced to give the thing
away" Many of the details Of the
story as told by the Free Press re-
porter are incorrect, says the Senti-
mel. But the truth of the main and
only essential part of the story, that
money WAS paid, promised, and ten
dered to the various newspaper pub
fishers of Grant county, to secure the
use Of their editorial columns Tor OPP
position to Gov. I.nFollctte, stands
unchallenged even by the Sentinel.

the Junior class is surely in the back

WAD FOUND FOR CANON LAW.

Brother Smith seems to let no occa-
sion slip to get after Deacon Testa.
But one thing is certain, when Mr..
Testa, as delegate representing the
Hawaiian congregation of st. An
drews Cathedral in the Primary Con.
vocation of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the Hawaiian Islands, rails
ed his voice in protest ito letting any
one supply American canon law to
the Episcopal Church in these Islands
unless he was brought up here" or
was well known as well, he gained his
point by preventing it and which COM
PEELED the Bishop to nominate one
known to many and to all of us as one
perfectly capable, should he accept it,
to treat with American canon law.
For the especial benefit of the Adver-
tiser, Bisnop Restarick personally, by
word of mouth, soon after the adjourn
ment of last nights session of the Con-
vocation, commended and thanked Mr..
Testa for what he did, and further
Judge Stanley was recommended and
spoken of highly by Mr.. Highton. Sure
canon law can be as well touched
off by kamaaina as well as any mali
hini can, the same as any artillery
drill" But the "wad" has been found,
and it only awaits the acceptance by
the Chancellor-elect of the unanimous
vote given last night AS there was
no feeling whatever in the matter we
think the Advertisers attack on Mr.,
Testa is amusingly silly, ill-timed and
out of place. 1t saw chance of hit
ting him, thinking it political mat.
ter, it struck out, but it can do no
harm, as the object aimed at was gain
ed without any friction whatsoever
and all passed off as merrily as a
wedding bell,'

OUR PRESENT RULERS.

Following in the wake of our article
in yesterdays issue, entitled "Recog-
milton Due" we would again aver, in
sist and assert that what we therein
stated, especially in the main, were
true and correct, and if not so, were
nearly so. But for ourselves particu-
larly, instead of being nearly so, they
were so, and there can be no lodging
around the bush. We reiterate the
above, because it has always been so
from way back that is, whenever and
wherever the white man is uppermost,
no matter in what country they are
settled, they will always assert them
selves and their right to rule or ruin
as against those of any particular
country.

ducts AMI bait. The treaty will
bs submitted TO the Senate i'm.
mediately upon it's ieassembling,
and mean While, following the rule
iu such cases, the State Department
refrains from making public the
details OF the instrument.
The treaty is the outcome OF
negotiations beg giu over twelve
years ago by Sir Robert Bond,
Colonial Premier OF Newfoundland.
Sir Robert came to Washington
and conducted negotiations with
Secretary Blaine, but before the
treaty advanced to the formative
stage it was abandoned, it is believ-
ed, largely because OF the oppo j.
ton OF the Canadian CT vernment
to the arrangement. 1t was then
decided that Newfoundlsnd's of.
forts to obtain reciprocal arrange
ments with the United Sta'es
should be held in abeysnce pend
ng lhs eff rt OF Canada to make a
treaty with the United States.
But such efforts have proved un-
fruitful, and several wes ks ago Sir
Robert Boud came to Washington
and opened negotiations with
Acting Secretary of State Adee aud
later continued them with Secrs-
tsry Hay, with the result that the
British Government directed Sir
Micbasl to sign the convention,
and the treaty will be cent 20
Parliament aud TO the Senate for
ratifi alton.
1t is understood that the treaty
provides for the favorable entry
into pots OF the Uuited States of
,rtain Newfoundland 6sh pro-
ducts. la return the Unite d States
gains privilege of obtaining bait on
the Grand Banks, and it is believed
favorable concession is made to
certain American machinery and
to flour in Newfoundland ports.

Putting all feelings to one side, we
hope for the best. And in SO hoping,
we do not mean that Hawaiians must
and should be ignored. Not so. We
earnestly hope and wish that they
would be recognized and we further
say as matter of right, they should
be by all means. In so doing, the con-
trolling party of today would suppress
all feelings and future strife, and then
all shall then work hand in hand for
the good of allfand OF this Territory

expected that the Governor would like
to have ,Se authority to suspend and
remove officials without seeking the
Intervention of the Senate during the
time of probation, that is the time in.
tervening from the date of such sus-
pension or removal to the next regu-
lar session. He does moi want nor
does he care for "the advice and con.

not want that, but he wants that he
must have the sole right of making
peremptory dsmissals, removals and
suspensions.

But Hawaiians have themselves
alone to blame. With the power in
their own hands, because Of their mum.
bors, and with their thinking pans on
and with wide open eyes, they threw
their chances away and in doing SO
leave themselves liable to the tender
mcrcies of their new found friends.
They were not blind and knew them of
old. No change has ever come over
their temperament. They are the
same as of yore. But as 6ng as they
do not get the upperhand, they then
become tractable, friendly and sweet
as saccharine, posing as sycophants;
but when assisted to place and power,
they then appear as they are now do.

GOODWILL AND BRAINS.

1t seems curious to our conception
that the goodwill of business enter
prise is deemed a valuable asset, al
though it is so to certain extent, but
why should it be held that it is com
modify liable to taxation. Should il
be so, according to the views of AS
sessor-in-Chief Pratt, why should~not
a mans brains be taxable as well. We
consider that both are on the same
level plane. The goodwill of anyones
business is the outcome of his energy
and brains, and we hold that if it is
assessable, then his brains should also
be, or in other words, man ought to
be taxed according to the amount OF
brains he shows in the conduct of his
enterprise making the goodwill the
earning capacity of any business
whereby Snown whether it is sue
cessful or defective.
