SATURDAY JAN 21 1899
TOPICS OF TOE DAY
Heres to tho murderers of Walter
Murray Gibson the anniversary of
whose death in 1888 to day h May
their consciences trduble them on
their death beds Many o thm
Invo suffered already a little in this
lif and his wraith surrounds tho
rest
While our private advices from
Washington i reference to tho Chi
nese permits are not by any means
definite they intimate llii the
Attorney General of tho United
States will decide that the Newlauds
Resolution was not intended to have
a retroactive effect and that orders
will be issued to release the Chineso
now detained iu quarantine and to
permit the landing of all Chinese
who hold permits which would have
been recognized as valid hy the Ha
waiian Government had it main
tained its independent sovereignty
We venture to think that this opin
ion is entertained by our Govern
ment ofBoials
An article quoted by tile morning
paper from the Boston Transcript
this morning bears the earmarks of
having been suggested from Hono
lulu to Star of Bethelhom Gil
man It not inaptly hits off Mr
Sewall supposed to be a silent candi
date for Governor of Hawaii as fol
lows
Mr Sewall is a smart man with
a great deal more young ambition
than proved capaoity for statesman
ship in a record which for so short
a one fairly bristles with unpleas
antnesses personal political and in
ternational As compared with Mr
Dole he is a carpet bagger
Which is it Sewall the Engineer
and Dole the fireman of Annexation
or vice versa
j Private information from Wash
ington sources leads us to believe
that Hawaiian Government organ
ization matters will remain in statu
quo in committee to a long for any
definite action to be taken at this
session of Congress This is unfor
tunate in view of tho possibility of
unpleasant contingencies arising in
tho Philippines whieh may tend to
still further retard tho considera
tion of the Hawaiian Government
bills and lend to a long discussion
months hence practically re opening
the whole question of tho advisabil
ity of annexation and leaving us
lingering in unsatisfactory aud em
barrassiug anxiety
The Boston Transcript is away
off from the facts when it states that
Ho Mr Dole seems tp havo won
the confidence of tho foreign com
munity without forfeiting the re
gard of tho nativo element It is
unfortunately a faot that tho plain
Mr Dole of tho Legislature of 1880
was a far moro esteemed respected
and popularly bo oved man than the
tho Legislature in a distriot almost
absolutely controlled by tho family
compact and the planters if Uio
Australian ballot system bo main
tained
Wo undorstaud that the Hawai
ian branch of our government has
having from past unpleasant exper
iences nccopted a bond from a re
putable local firm for all tho oxpen
soo inourred iu connection with the
Chinese in quarantine We have
not been too inquisitive in our en
quires and accordingly ouly make a
rough estimate of thee expenses at
say 5500 a week The bill on this
amount alone may reaeh 10000 and
ouo can readily see that if tho Chin
ese side win their rase thero will bo
the basis of a claim for damages
agaiust our government or that of
the United States and another
100000 will go out of taxpayers
pocket for tho rare privilege of cor
rectly construing a kuotly point of
law which with duo carefulness on
the part of Congress should nevt r
have been allowed to arise
Whoever M M Gowor of Now
Haven may be ho is a prejudiced
and ignorant ass wheu ho writes
During this period aud under the
Christianizing and civilizing influ
ence of American institutions both
religious and political Hawaii has
passed from the dei potism of Ka
mehameha 1 to the constitutional
monarchy of Kamehameha III and
from that to the Republic of Janu
ary 17 1893 under President Dole
and that Republic acknowledged
aud respected by all the great na
tions maintained itself against the
two assaults of Mr Cleveland and
hi Secretary of State and thf more
despicable attempts of the ex Qwens
friends to carry out by treason what
Mr Clevelands diplomacy so signally
failed to accomplish And all this has
been done without a single rebel or
traitor being executed and with the loss
of less than a score of lives in the trifling
skirmishes that Jtave taken place at two
different times And while these
changes in the political lifo have
been going on tho material affairs
have been so fostered and developed
that from a statn of nearly naked
and absolute poverty to a state of
commercial aud agricultural pros
perity that is evidenced by tho fact
that Hawaii has neither paupers nor
almshouses while its money in
circulation is ten times aud its ex
port products eight times as much
per capita as our owu marvellously
wealthy country shows We all
know President Cleveland endeav
ored to prevent a dishonorable act
and that the traitors and rebels Here
tho successful revolutionists actu
ated by money greed aud political
ambition aud not tho citizeus of
the laud We like our treacle of
praise but not with too much sul
phur iu it
Now that Senator Hoar ha3 open

Imperialism the Anti Expansionists
are haviug a grand old high time in
poking fun at the new acquisitions

afford occupation for pension

Second They must be mostly

the dusky races will tono them

A Beautiful Girls Affliction

Tho Tuckers of Versailes Ind
like all fond parents are completely
wrapped up in thoir children Their
daughter Luoy in particular has
given thorn much concern She is
liiftoen and from a strong healthy
girl three years ago bad become
weak and kept falling off in flesh

Her blood became impure and finally
she became tho victim of nervous
prostratiou Doctors did uot help
her Most of tho time sho was con
fined to bed was very nervous and
irritable and seemed on tho verge
of St Vitus dance
One morning said Mrs Tucker
the doctor told us to give her Dr
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
which he brought with him Ho
said he was treating a similar case
with these pills and tbey were curing
tho patient Wo began giving tho
pills and tho next day could seo a

came and was surprised to seo such
an improvement He told us to keep
giving her the medicine We gave
her one pill after each meal until
eight boxes had been used when she
was well She has not been sick
since and we havo no fear of the
old trouble returning We think
the cure almost miraculous
