for ourselves in paying $2O,000,00O for
the Philippines does not, in justice and
reason, bind us to pay pension, or ali
mony in gross, to the former Queen of
Hawaii.
"How much? Well, the answer may
depend upon how much the tariff is to
be revised and the revenues reduced.
When Queen Lii went to Washington
before, along in the middle COS, she
went in the pride of a tropical beauty,
which the world thought would corrupt
Congress and undermine the seats of the
mighty. She was expected to blow Orient
breath out of sweet lips into scanned
faces and carry things by storm. She
failed. We rose up as one man and
hurled back with scorn the intimation
that we could be so approached. But
now she comes as an old woman, whose
Oriental beauty is faded, and is asking
only what she feels to be justice. Be-
fore the day of Manila we could see
no Justice in it. But since we have

commenced paying men for the privi-
lege of thrashing them out of their
boots, we might give something to a
woman who gave up her boots without
thrashing. Of course, no precedent is
retroactive, even those which we fool
ishly make for ourselves. But when we
start out being foolish we should be-
consistently foolish"
Lands Were Abrogated.
The Buffalo Enquirer is one Of the
papers which sees no virtue in the claim
advanced by the Queen. 1t says:
"Persons with penchant for keeping
tab on royalties and ex-royalties may
be interested to learn that Liliuokalani,
she of the unpronounceable name, who
formerly reigned as Queen of Hawaii,
reached her SEVENTEEN birthday today.

readers has again been called to this

here to press her claims on the govern

woman. Since we paid the Spaniards
$20,000,000 for the privilege of keeping
what we already had, it would seem
that Queen Lii, who was nearly as va
liant foeman for US as the Spaniards
were, should be entitled to more con-
sideration than she has ever received
at our hands. We had to have her
islands. The interests of civilization
and of progress demanded it, and we
needed coaling stations there which she
was provokingly slow in letting us have

we interrupted Queen Lii in the midst

up joyful siesta. Our marines poked
the muzzles of their guns into shaded
palace windows, on the other side of
which the government of Hawaii was in
full motion. There was even less re-
sistanee than that at Manila, but not
so much less that the precedent we set

MAINLAND PRESS COMMENTS
ON uLUOKALAN'S MISSION
Her Claim on Congress for 100000 and Its
Reception EditoraIIy-- MANY Favor
the Payment.

The mission of Queen Liliuokalani to
Washington is occupying the editorial
attention of many of the leading news
papers Of the Eastern States. A ma
s.jority of the writers appear to favor
/the appropriation being made for the
applicant, but the majority at the same
time appear doubtful if Congress will
allow any claim that may be presented.
The New York World, the paper
which has been recently eastigated by
President Roosevelt, says:
'The 100000 demanded by Liliuo-
kalani as an indemnity for her seques-
1rated 'erown lands seems modern as
royal subsidies go. Will Congress balk
at granting the deposed Hawaiian
Queen a sum hardly as large as an
appropriation for a country postoffice
'ouilding7
'Having entered on a policy of i'm
perialism, with its legacy of subject
peoples and island dependencies, we
should be prepared to discharge the
obligations these new wards impose up
on us. We are morally bound to ac-
cord to dethroned rulers that liberality
of treatment which it has been the
enlightened policy of Rome and of Eng
land to pursue toward conquered
princes. Shall full-blooded Queen be
compelled to worry along on a mere

Legislature-the salary of chief clerk

demanded by Liliuokalani is less than
the price current of ordinary ducal

to buy French prince for that amount.

royal family, a ruling dynasty, we
should evidence proper appreciation
of the responsibility. Hawaiian royal

against race suicide, may in the years
to come provide advantageous alliances
for our first families.''
Let Her Have It.
The New York Times regards the
claim of the Queen as somewhat
weak" but believes in granting it af-
ter all. In its issue of December l, the
Times says:
cones heart doesn It bleed very copi-
ously over the news that Liliuokalani,
sometime Queen of the Hawaiian Is
lands, has an annual existence of no
more than $4,000. That amount, how
ever, is much or little, according to
the point of view. In the eyes of
royalty, though remotely insular and
of dark complexion, it is doubtless
miserable pittance, and in considering
the ex-Queen's plea the circumstances
of her deposition should be remembered,
as well as the fact that she probably
has a number of dependents, poor rela-
tions, and faithful companions in mis-
fortune, with whom her resources,
whatever they may be, have to be
divided.
Gin the last analysis, her claim to
support from public funds may be a
bit weak, but, as vested rights go,
hers are not the least able to endure
examination. It would be the part of
wisdom, if not of justice, to make the
brown lady's declining days fairly COM
Portable and in accordance with her
own standards of comfort at that. She
wants 100000, which is a good deal of
money, though nothing in comparison

MAN DIES WHILE AT HIS WORK
William IL. Hardy Succumbs to ADo-
plexy at Fifteenth and
Martha Streets.

Immediately after William r.. Hardy
felt weak and nervous while working, he
fell dead Of apopleXy at the corner of
Fifteenth and Martha streets, about 8
o'clock Friday morning.
Hardy roomed at a rooming house at us
north Ninteenth street. conducted by Mrs.
Green, and was setting out trees in a yard
at 1872 Martha street, he being an agent
for the Shenandoah Nursery company Of
Shenandoah, la. Upon feeling weak he
went to a saloon at 1902 south Sixteenth
street, where he got a drink. and was re-
turning when he fell dead. DIR. Kalal was
passing in his buggy and saw the man/fall,
but when the body was reached by the
doctor, life was extinct.
Because the man was unknown in the
neighborhood, a false report about a man
named s%hanahan being dead, began to cir
culate, as Hardy had that name on his
linen. Officer Morgan went out from the
police station on the emergency motor
cycle and investigated the case. Coroner
Brewer took charge of the body and will
hold an inquest at 10 o'clock Saturday
morning. The man is between so and So
years old, and none of his relatives has
been located as yet.

which kept everyone In the best Of spirits.
He gave some interesting "reminiscences
of the Omaha of today and the city as it
was in his boyhood, with special reference
to the reStaurants of that time In that part
Of the city which is now given over to
the wholesale district, and compared them
TO the new cafe, congratulating Mr.. Hanson
upon his enterprise and business courage.
One of his remarks which brought out
much applause was that the opening Of this
cafe was one of the events which proves
that Omaha has taken its proper rank
among the cities, not only of the west,
but also OF the entire country.
Mel Uhl of the News responded to the
call Of the POSTMASTER with a few remarks
mostly humorous. but also serious in part,
as he dwelt on the enterprise of the busi-
ness men of the city as its chief asset.
Literature and Good Living.
7. w. Mccullough, managing editor
of The Bee, was the next speaker. Like
his predecessors he began his remarks with
some witty shots directed at some of the
other speakers which called forth much
laughter. but he also mentioned the con-
nection which has always existed between
newspaper men and men of letters and an
enjoyment of the good things of life, re-
marking that the growth of English liter
ature was coexistent with the growth
Of the nation in a material way and with
its disposition and ability to appreciate
the enjoyment which comes from such a
gathering as this one.
He also referred to Mr.. Hanson as the
friend of printers and newspaper men
from the time when the host began in life
by furnishing lunches to the men in the
composing room of The Bee. through all
his progress and business growth until the
present time.
Charles H. Pickens followed briefly, con-
graduating Mr.. Hanson on the success
which was crowned with his present enter
prise and expressing the hope Of his friends
that this is but the beginning of his real
work in his chosen line.
Robert Manley was the next speaker. He
spoke with special reference to the adver-
Using feature of the new enterprise in its
broadest sense. as an advertisement for the
city. He also made some jocular references
to other of the speakers which were
greatly enjoyed.
Victor Bender OF the Nonpareil and Victor
Rosewater, editor of The Bee, were also
on the program for addresses, but both
were out OF the city,

tho scene of the gathering. The table, oval
in shape, surrounded by a massive bank Of
flowers and ported plants, palms. ferns,
chrysanthemums, in almost tropical pro-
fusion, while the table was strewn with
lnterlaoing vines and cut flowers.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the guests assem-
bled and took their places, and for two
hours discussed the most elaborate and Sc
lect menu which Mr.. Hanson and his chefs
could devise. At one end of the table sat
Carl e.. Herring, the POSTMASTER, with the
host of the evening at his right and Con-
gresham Hitchcock at his left. Immedi-
ately next to these were Charles c.
Rosewater and T. w. Mccullough of The
Omaha Bee, and on each side and all
around sat the representatives of the other
papers and periodicals OF the city. Social
intercourse and friendly chat filled the time
until the last course on the menu was dis
posed of, when the POSTMASTER arose and
introduced the first speaker of the evening,
Congressman Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock. Mr..
Herring, as POSTMASTER. set the keynote
OF the various remarks which followed
from the other speakers by telling a few

humorous anecdotes and co~ngratulating the
host on the success of his lifelong efforts
to give Omaha a restaurant to which the
city and the west can point with pride.
Common Ground for All.
Mr.. Hitchcock followed the humorous
lead of the POSTMASTER in his opening re-
marks, referring wittily to the last UNI
pleasantness and to the advantages which
follow from men of different parties and
competitors in similar lines OF business,
meeting together and finding out hat after
all they have much common ground on
which to stand and many mutual interests.
one OF the most apparent being the wish
and endeavor to upbuild Omaha. He spoke
Of the enterprise of Mr.. Hanson in estab-
fishing such a cafe as a distinct triumph
for the city. He elaborated on the bond
which unites all the business interests of
a city In an endeavor for the common good
and referred glowingly to the opportunities
which Omaha now presents 10 the energetic
business man and of the growth and de-
velopment which will come in the next
few years.
Charles C. Rosewater followed Mr..
Hitchcock, beginning his remarks with
an anecdote which brought forth much

as good wishes for the future to the man
who had made the evening possible.
