TEE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Concluded from last issue,
" 'Then let the reciprocity treaty
continue for the present,' some say,
"No. that will not da now. An
nexation to the United States w the
sole and only means of its accom
plishment and of maintaining Ameri
can influence in Hawaii.
"We can prevent Chinese occupy
ing our beantiful country, for Ha
waii has no treaty with China, but it
is not so with Japan. When that
country, twenty-five years ago, was
seeking alliances with the nations of
the world, we entered into treaty re
lations, and under its provisions we
cannot prevent the free immigration
of her people. They have come and
have found Hawaii a very paradise.
Few. of them return to their homes,
and at present they are all over the
country seeking the ownership of
property, and still they are coming in
.. by every steamer.
'Perhaps your statesmen and econ
omists will look upon this with com
placency ; for myself, as an Ameri
can, who has lived on your soil and
voted in your elections, I must con
fess to a feeling of depression and
lively regret.
"I know well that the effect of this
will be hurt by enemies of annexa
tion, who. will say it is hysterical!
Possibly ; but it is true, and that I
have not falsely indicated in which
way the fiDger of destiny is pointing,
will be amply and fully attested by
many careful conservative men who
live here and know the facts.
"If you believe in the annexation
of Hawaii, will jou take action at
once? And will you keep up that
action till the end is accomplished?
If there . is a Board of Trade or
Chamber of Commerce in your
midst, get it to send a memorial
favoring the annexation of Hawaii,
to your representative in congress or
to y.our stale senator, or write your
self and get tbem to do so. Get
your newspapers to keep it up, to
present the facls to the people and
urge its speedy accomplishment
This is not something to be bought
with money, it is of national import
ance and concerns the future honor
and prosperitj of America, to a de
gree not fully appreciated by most
of ycur people."
LET VS HAVE LIGHT.
Tony Noltner, the irrepressible
Democratic editor, passed up on last
night's flyer," bound ostensibly for
Spokane; but really for no-one-knows-where.
Only six weeks ago
this same Tony slipped quietly off to
Washington. So- softly did he steal
away that be was gone for a month
before anybody': missed him at this
end of the route, and. he was not
even heard of at the other. The fact
that he bad come back simply proved
that it was the sequence to the other
fact that he had gone away.
- Since that time we have watched
the columns of his paper faithfully
hoping he would give in his experi
ence in getting Democrats to vote
for the seating of Corbett He has
maintained the silence of the Stygian
shades. It is unparalleled, unnatural!
When a boy goes to mill he nearly
always has a story to tell, therefore
we should hear from Tony. J. Thor
burn Boss, like, a good' little boy,
told all . that he knew and more.
Wallace McCamant gave us the his
tory of his brief, how it fell like a
clod on the coffin of John H. Mitch
ell, like the gentle dew from heaven
upon the arid souls Of the United
States senators.- Maxwell his brays
were bonnie. They wereas music to
the ears of ' the' weary ones waiting
for the senate . to ask the venerable
Corbett to be seated. But alas! that
"music hath lost its charm. Tony
alone is silent; wickedly, cruelly penses or these officers, lnciepenaem
damb.- Speak! thou fragmentary of their salaries. ; Judae Lowell's de
fossil of Laurentian Demociaey! Tell cision will probably be sustained, by
us, we beseech thee. Spit it' out like
a man.
: But we forgot. There nre others.
or rather one- other Hon. Harvey
W. Scott. He started East some
time since, and be, too, is silent
The Oregonian is in business at the
old stand without him. Hamlet has
no ehost. Mayhap the flood tide of
bis feelings has broken through the
levee system of '. his intellect and
through a wide crevasse is pouring
devastation and destruction on the
sunny South. It is barely
possible
that it was he, and not Watterson,
that turned loose in the Courier
Journal. We hope not. We hope
be. at least, mav return to us to tell
us all about it. .
We old Oregonians are uncomfort
able. When we think of our vener
able old friend from Portland stand
mg in the corridors of the senate
with one of his legs longer than it
really ought to be, we feel that some
thing should be done, and that we
should know it. .
We suggest,, as a compromise, that
Mr. Corbett be invited to sit on Mr.
McCamant's abundant brief; and we
urge that not only Tony, but Harvey,
tell us all they know.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The tariff bill has been reported
to the senate, but with many amend
ments, among the most important
being the striking out of the house
provision keeping in force the Hawa
iian reciprocity treaty, which will
indirectly abrogate that treaty.
Under its terms, however, the change
cannot go into effect until a year has
elapsed after this government has
notified that of Hawaii ot its abroga
tion. The internal revenue tax on
beer has been raised to $1.44 per
barrel until January 1, 1900, after
which it shall be, as at present, $1
per barrel.
Many important changes were
made in wool and woolen ' schedules.
First-class wools were reduced trom
11 cents 'per pound to 8 cents, sec
ond-class wools from 12 to 9, where
as the duties on wools of the third
class were raised. The dividing line.
of the third class was placed at 10
cents, wuuis unuer uuu vaiue ueiuS
made dutiable at 4 cents per pound,
mstead or oz per cent ad valorem,
as in me uouse oui. woois yaiuea
at more than 10 cents a pound were
placed at 7 cents per pound, instead
of 50 per cent ad valorem. The
woolgrowers failed to secure all the
changes they desired in the classifi-
cation, but it is understood the rates
fixed on the wools are satisfactory to
them. Skirted wools of the first
class, as imported in 1890 and prior,
are required to pay'l cent a pound
in addition to tbe rates imposed by
this act on washed wools of class one.
It is thought the increased levenue
from beer will amount to $12,000,-
000 and on tea to $17,000,000. The
bill is so radically changed as to
hardly be recognized as the. Dingley
bill. Jones of Arkansas says it will
take six weeks to debate the bill and
get it ready for its final passage.
SHERIFFS EXPESSES CASE.
In the case of Sheriff Houser
against Umatilla county, an order
was made by Circuit Judge Lowell
"It is ordered and .dludoed bv
i,f AtA
to dismiss the writ of review herein
be, and the same is hereby over
ruled and denied, and that the writ
of review is hereby sustained, and
that the judgment of the county
court of the state of Oregon for Urn
tilla county, rendered March 4th,
aisauowing tue ciaim 01 piaintirr, is I
evidenced by voucher No. 186, and
that said claim be, and the same is,
hereby remanded to said county
court, and that said county court is
hereby directed to allow the same,' went down in defeat.. It was disas
and that the plaintiff, Zoeth Houser, trous to the Greeks, and the crescent
have and recover from the defend-
ant county his costs and 'disburse-
ments of action."
This decision affects every county
m the 6tate, and if not reversed by
the supreme court, will be a big thing
for the sheriffs, as it makes it manda-
tory upon the county courts to pay
traveling and other legitimate ex-
the supreme court, as he is known as
a very careful lawyer, ana he Knew
in advance that the case was to be
appealed, no matter which way he
decided.
A FIEND OF A FATHER.
The New York Press tells of a
farmer who died recently, and who
in his will disinherited his daughter
for an offense alleged to have been
committed fifty j-ears before. The
offense consisted in the sending to
the old man a . valentine, comic, rep-
resenting a miser counting bis gold.
She bad asked her father for a dress
a short time oetore, ana oeing re
fused, as he claimed, sent him a vaU
entine. The daughter admitted ad
dressing the envelope,- but denied
sending the picture. For this offense
her father never spoke to her, never
forgave her, and in .his will be
queathed her "A package. to he found
in my trunk, tied with green ribbon
and sealed witb green wax.'-' When
this was opened it was found to con
tain . the cause of the trouble, the
valentine. ' ' '
A father who could carry his an-
ger at his child to that extent, who
admitting even that the offense was
committed, could steel bis heart
against a daughter for fifty years of
his miserable life, and then from the
grave call up the cause of his ani
monty, can hardly be ranked as
human. The foul fiend's face must
have been illuminated with a, joyous
smile as be rammed his threc-tined
fork into the shriveled soul and set
it up to toast. And yet this raise ra
ble caricature on humanity was al
lowed to cumber the earih for fifty
years alter bis little girl ortended
him, and all this tirre there was
chain lightning going to waste. The
small fry of hades should amuse them
selves by .plastering him with green
sealing wax, heated to a turn, and he
should have ever before bis eyes
that comic valentine.
The April state election in Michi
gan was not of much importance as
regards the minor offices at stake,
but it bad one feature which is of
great significance. - The resular
bemocratic convention wns controlled

... Q, . f silver olat-
a a i. ru; .
The sound money men resolved not
to support a ticket thus nominated,
and named candidates who believed
in the principles asserted at Indian
apolis when Palmer and Buckner
were put in the field. The full offi
cial returns of the election have not
yet been announced, but enough is
known to show that the national
Democratic ticket polled at least 30,-
000 votes.' This is a great surprise
to all the politicians, as even the
most sanguine sound money Demo
crats did not expect anything like so
large a total. Palmer and Buckner
received .less than 7,000 votes last
fall, and some who were prominent
in the movement then doubted the
wisdom of running a separate ticket
in the. spring election, not only be
cause it must widen the breach in
the party, but also because they
feared that - such candidates would
receive small support, lbe scund
money Democrats who insisted upon
carrying through ' the movement are
more than satisfied with the result.
vote of 80d00 in a spring election
gives promise of twice that number

means that the independent Demo
crats may hold tbe balance of power
in Michigan. It certainly shows that
a liryanized party wi.'I stand no
chance whatever' of carrying the
state.
ine ureeKs ana lurks nave had a
bloody battle on the historic field of
Pharsala, where Caesar and Pompey
fought one of the twelve decisive
battles of the world and Pompey
triumphed over the cross. The
Greeks retired to Domokes. thirteen
miles distant, where Prince Constan-
tine will again give battle to the ad-
vancing Turks. In' consequence of
the trend of affairs, the powers have
instructed their ministers to offer
mediation, and it is quite probable
that the war will be ended bv this
meaDS. The Greeks are far out
numbered, perhaps nearly five to
one, which makes their case desper
ate; oui dissensions at borne are
really ' more dangerous than the
enemy." King George seems to be
every inch a scrub, with an eye to
increasing his wealth at the expense
of his country, knowing, as he does,
that the powers will not allow Greece
to oe .destroyed. In our opinion,
the war will not last more than
week or two longer, another decisive
victory by the Turks being sufficient
to compel Gieeco to accept the
friendly offices of the powers and let
them settle the dispute. Greece
will have lost much in blood and
treasure, but King George will have
made probably $10,000,000.
TONY DON'T WANT IT.
Some of the Mitchell "pus.li" want
an extra session."" They found it
profitable and are in hopes that an
extra' session would prove even more
lucrative. Portland Dispatch, Tony
Noltner's paper. '
And Tocy don t want any extra
- i
session. It would end his job on
the Corbett pay roll. So long as
there is no extra session, there is a
"prospect for Mr. Corbett," or thrifty
men like Tony who are working for
him think they can make "the old
man"' believe there is. Salem States
man. . -
. King George of Greece must be a
very sick man indeed if he' listens to
the advice of his physicians to take
a journey at this time to the island
of Milo, or to Servia, for "change of
air. Jutber this or ho is a poltroon
whose courage has yanished with re
verses, leaving bim homesick, .being
a weak man, however, ffom whatever
cause, the volatile nature of the
Greek temperament renders hint un
safe, with the wind of the present
commotion in and roundabout Athens. .
Hence he may be excused if he act
upon tbe idea that a living ass .is bet
ter than a dead lion. Oregonian.
King George of Greece seems to
be very much of a poltroon. He
found time .while looking after the
interest of the kingdom to speculate
in stocks and bonds, which, fluctuat
ing on account of tbe war, made him
a winner in the sum of $ 7,000,000.
A king who could speculate in stocks
while his subjects were at tbe front
battling tor their country deserves
not only to lose his job, but to be ig-
nominiously fired. King George
seems to be in a fair way to get this
kind of treatment.
The East Oregonian and Pendle
ton Tribune are at it hammer-and
tongs, and the fight has descended
into criminations and recriminations
uu worthy of eiiher. The public are
not interested in these things, hence
we offer our kindly mediations and
suggest that each go at their legit
mate business, hustling for news.
Good Words for the Diamond Mills.
A. H. Cnrtia, proprietor of tbeDia
mond roller, mills, of Tbe Dalles, Or.
writes ub that there is plenty of wheat
in the vicinity of that place for all re'
qoirementa and some to spare at pres
ent. This is one of the mills that Ore
gon is jua'ly proud of. It tarns ont bet
ter flour, and commands always 50 centaJ..
per barrel over all standard brands.
The wheat comes from the Klickitat
valley. There ia only one other mill in
the Pacific Northwest that receivea the
same price for its output toe boiaen
dale mill, at Goldendale, Wash.,, that
also uses the same wheat. Mr. ' Curtis
reports the crop outlook as very good at
present. Commercial Beview.
