A rather obscure cablegram announcing that San
Francisco paper had beer libel publishing
the Merry letters is explained by the receipt of the
April 18th file of The Call That journal prints several
missives signed 81 A k, which it attributes
to Admiral Merry late of the Honolulu naval station.
This correspondence originating in Honolulu in 1892,
is addressed to Mrs Mary Ashton, the half-Hawaian
wife of real estate of San Francisco. The writer
speaks in his edate paragraphs of having rather
the best of the Bishop Estate in the Pearl Harbor suits
and of being at card party with the Ponds and other
wellknown naval people. The passages of affection,
of which only partially printed by The Call
of character win Admiral Merry heavy damages in
the San Francisco paper prove his author

A SAD CASE
Moral RuindtiOn of a
Young Man Charged
In Court
KIDNAPPING
KIDNAPPING
Grave Charge Brought Against Two
n Broken Hearted Father-Defen-
dan$s Arrested and Will be Tried
in Justice FOwIer's Court TomOr-
row Morning.

For Kidnapping a young man OF sew
enteen or eighteen years of g two of
the white women of this city. whose
lives are passed amidst the darkest
shadow OF sin, have been indicted in
Justice FOwler's court. 1t is a novel,
yet deplOrable case. and goes beyond
the kidnapping of the body 10 the kid
ton of a we'll known young white man
of this city and which the law may
punish and the Great Father will
punish.
The women are Mabel Carleton and
Minnie Sanford, inmates OF a house
near Fourth and Castle streets, and
the grave charge is brought by the
boys father, whose every effort here
tofore to save his chfld has been in
vain.
1t is alleged that the boy has become
so infatuated with the m Minnie
Sanford that he has deserted home
and is constantly found in her dis
reputable company. Once the woman
and boy left the city and were away
together for some time. The father
has tried by every means in his power
to induce his son to leave the WOman's
company but in vain. He warned the
woman and Mabel Carleton. whom it
IS alleged is mistress of the house in
question, that his boy was under TWEEN
ty-One years of 6 and not to shelter
him, but all this had no effect, until
Row he appeals to the strong arm of
the law for Intervention. AS the boy
IS beyond fourteen years Of age alb
ductiOn could not be charged, so war;
rants were sworn out in Justice FOW-
lar's court charging Kidnapping.
The warrants were placed in the
hands of Constable Savage and served
Yesterday afternoon. The Carleton wo-
man gave a $50 bond, but Minnie San
ford went to Jail. The trial will be at
II o'clock tomorrow morning.
The case with all its sadness is an
Interesting one from a legal view
point. and the defendants. while NOR
ally guilty. may technically escape

UNREST.
The Must be Placated-Will
it Affect America:

The partial disruption Of Premier
Balfour's cabinet by the resignation Of
Chamberlain, Lord Hamilton and Mr..
Ritchie, is the result of some very deep
seated causes, which may presage the
beginning of a political and industrial
revolution.
To retain her position as a great world
power, England must hold her colonies.
She needs those colonies more than they
need her; and as it is getting harder
each generation to hold colonies who
don't van to be held those colonies
must be placated. Some advantage
must flow to them from the union.
For this Chamberlain had a theory.
Already the expanding democracies Of
New Zealand and Australia, are turn
ing the sympathies and sentiments Of
those away from the ~antiquated Gus
tom and institutions of Old England.
Even Canada, ever true to the crown,
shows symptoms of growing restless
ness; and as the advantages of 4 free
country like the United States, where
every citizen has AN equal chance at the
ladder of sucsess, is daily brought INTO
such close contrast with the out-oC-
date aristocratic government of Eng
land, where caste is superior to merit,
it would not be strange if Canada, too,
should n day desire to throw off the
shackles of ancient social and political
absurdities and step forth free to en-
gage in the worlds struggles for indus
trial supremacy.
Chamberlain possibly recognized this
trn06 of rhnr1oht IN tho .onlNnin- ND
knowing hat England's supremacy de-
ponds upon her avy and the loyalty Ct
her Ionic throughout the world,
sought to strengthen both at once. The
remedy was the placing of a tariff on
the food products of the country dis
eliminating in favor of shipments from
the colonies.
BY means of his preferential tar:ft
he hoped to benefit the colonies and 10
procure the money to keep up Eng
land's great navy. Britain also need
ed a better assurance of her food sup
plies in the event Of war. Most of that
food she now gets from u~nfriendly Rus
STA n free America-free to protect
her own interests, even if 1t involved
war with Great Britain. Her own colo-
MES had the food. The wheat fields OF
Canada and the cattle ranches of New
Zealand and Australia are all sufficient,
if she can secure them as permanent
tributaries to her table. Chamberlain
tried to do it. He failed. England Is a
free trade country. She is conservative
to the last degree. Her people do not
want a tariff placed on their food i'm
ports. SO Chamberlain is out, the vic
tim Of his own idea, n Balfour must
settle the question for himself.
England keeps only abou one month
food supply on HAND She could not
fight after that supply is exhausted.
Well. all these are problems Balfour
must solve or settle to his own satisfac-
iOn-Or else form a new cabfnet-or
else resign.
In the meantime England continues to
get her bread and meat principally
from the United States, and We have
no cause to eomplain.-Asheville Citi-
zen.
