damus action brought by Coster
against Trent to compel the latter
to pay the half months salary war
rant OF Coster as foreman of the mu-
nicipal stables. The matter now
goes to the Supreme Court for

the Circuit Court was only to decide
the disputed questions of fact.
The hearing on the questions Of
fact occupied two afternoons and a
considerable amount OF politics .was
Injected into the matter. However,
Judge Robinson brushed these aside
and took into consideration only the
vital questions OF fact involved.

HIGHER WAGE SONG.

!. How about the Higher Wage ques-
ton so widely talked about.
II should be carried into effect
by all means.
2. We can not open NEGOTIATION
again with the planters)
Yet 1t is a grave question worth
for all to work together.
3. All men of the plantations, Have
one heart
And put your efforts forth for
the Higher Wage Association.
4. Think carefully why our object
is not carried out,
II is because there are odlous
dogs and pigs.
8. Even though natural to all brutes
these dogs and pigs,
They exceed the limit in wag-
ging their tails.
G. Should they cease to wag their
tail to the Red hairs. who are
unjust keto,
And come to us, the Higher
Wage Association will feed
them.
Z. Though they wag their tails and
show their tameness,
Before long the mountain pig
and Sheba dog will be killed
by some hunters
s. In all plantations OF all Hawaii
there Is none who does not
hate the dog and pig
For they obstruct the way for
higher wages.
Q. We can not leave them alone,
these dogs and pigs.
For we don't know when they
will bite others.
10. For the last, now, gather a few
hunters.
And STAY THE DOG AND PIG
RIGHT AWAY!

A number of the Congressman have
recently received letters from some
of the old soldiers in their districts,
loudly protesting against the accept
ance by Congress of statue OF Gen
eral Robt. f. Lee to be placed In
Statuary Hall by the side of George
Washington. Each state has been in
yited to contribute the statues of two
of her most distinguished citizens,and
Washington and Lee are the two
great generals which Virginia has con-
cluded to thus honor. The statues
are now ready and soon 1t will be up
to Congress to determine whether or
not the representation of the great
Confederate leader shall have place
of honor in that historic hall in the
capitol.
Union veterans of the civil war have
no objection of Washington. but they
claim it would be a recognition OF
disloyalty and traitorism for Congress
to accept the other statue. There is
no doubt but that General Lee was one
Ol the GREATEST ledueTS anu SlTdteSlSlS
of his day, and worthy of some recog.
milton, yet this fact, maintain the sol
diers, does not in the least justify the
proposed action of Congress. The
Washington Times, commenting edi.
torially in defense of the proposition,
says:
The greatest shrine in the world is
Westminster Abbey. Thither are car.
ried the bones of Britains great .
no matter on what side they may have
fought in the revolution or whether
they wore the red or the white rose.
There are deposited the bones of Oil
yer Cromwell in the alcove in which
the dust of kings alone may have
Judgment; and from there they were
torn out by mob -. Today all
Britain recognizes Cromwell as one of
the greatest Englishmen." BY this
allusion the acceptance of the Lee
statue seems to be justified.
