HAWAII'S TROUBLES.
The new Hawaiian republic has met its
first armed opposition and has shown to
the world its strength and the stuff the men
are made of who are at the head of and sup
porting this latest addition to the family of
republics. This will probably be the last el
fort the royalists will make in behall of
their deposed queen, as President Cleve
land and their English sympathizers have
become very lukewarm in their support.
The cause of annexation will receive a
new impetus from these troubles, for the
commercial interests of the Islands, which
is the dominant interest, will demand a
more stable government than it is possible
to maintain in Hawaii, beset as it is with
local dissensions and foreign aggressions.
A new trouble that is arising for Hawaii
is the fear of a Japanese conquest. There
re now several thousand of these people
on the Islands, and each steamer brings
more. They are an aggressive and ener
jtetic people, and since their success in do
ing up China their ambition knows no
bounds. They hope to make both a com
mercial and political conquest of Hawaii.
The fear of Japan's cruisers alone prevents
Hawaii from prohibiting the further immi
gration of the ambitious Japs, and their
only safety lies in annexation to the I'nited
States.
The annexation of Hawaii would be of
immense advantage to the commercial in
terests of the Pacific coast. Thousands of
Americans would go there, for the Islands
have a rich soil and a salubrious, healthy
climate. A new market would thus be
opened up for our manufactured products,
and a commerce built that would bring
thousands of dollars to our people.
BR00KL1WS STRIKE.
Brooklyn has been the scene of a strike
that for persistence and fierceness has
equalled any of the great strikes had within
the last few years. The trouble is between
the electrio lines and their employes.
The points of issue are three. The men
demanded that there should he no "stand
ing time" during their day of ten hours; no
more " trippers," and a raise of wages from
$2 to $2.25 perday. The men complain that
during the hours when traffic is light they
have to stand around the power bouses and
that such time wag deducted from their
pay. They say of tripper cars that they are
put on during the rush hours and they
make about two trips at less than 23 cents
per trip. They claim that if this practice
continues the companies will run but few
regular cars during the afternoon hours and
when the rush conies will run in the trip
pers. While there would appear to be
ground of complaint for deduction of pay
for "standing time," as also against the
" trippers" if they operate to cause the for
mer, there certainly cannot be good ground
for striking for an increase of pay in these
hard times, from 2 to (2.25 a day of ten
hours. Probably, however, the claim for
more pay is made because of the loss by
"landing time" and "trippers."
The strikers, in order to carry their point,
derailed cars and cut the lines and drove oft
the police sent to protect the cars while be
ing operated by new men. The mayor had
to call on the governor of New York lor
help and with lSOO policemen and MA) mi
litia has restored order, though a large num
ber were hurt and some killed on each side.
Bhoulu the office of food commissioner
beretained the legislature should give care
. as to who is given the office. The incompe
tency of the officials now serving on the va
rious state commissions has disgusted the
people w itli the whole commission business;
bat if those commissions were rightly con
ducted they could be of great benefit to the
state. Of the candidates for food commis
sioner there is no more competent and hon
est man mentioned than Chaa. Hoiman of
this countv. , He is a man of good Judg
ment, educated, and a trained business man,
and is one of our most snccessful farmers.
The Clackamas delegation are doing well in
giving Mr. Hoiman their united support.
Senator Calbreatb has introduced a bill
in the senate to stop all appropriations to
state and district fairs. This kill, should it
become a law, will wipe out the state and
district fairs and in their stead establish a
fixed tax of one-half mill for cai'h county to
be used aa the cminlic may olwl In run
(InclitiK county fairs, or if no fHtn r held
this money may bs turned Into (lie road
fund. This bill will meet the approval of
every (armor and business man in Ilia slate.
The stale ami district (airs as now con
ducted are of no possible oonelll lo the ajtrl
cultural and industrial Interests of the state
and the taxpayers should not he burdened
with their support. The suite fair is noth
ing more than county fuir for Marion
county, and a very poor one at that. Its
chief and only attraction is horse-racing, an
"i-utiistry'' the less encoura'ed the bettor
for the people at larjre. Vy giving this bill
their hearty support the Clackamas delega
tion will meet the approval of their entire
constittientcv.
AXT1 CIGARETTE LEAGUE
Ther are 40,1X10 New York schoolboys
now members of Hi Hoys' Anti-Cigarette
Lagu. branches have been established
in r.inety-Hve grammar schools in the citv
and in many of the primaries. The boys
are organised in each school, have their
own officers and wear their buttons as a
badge, and are pledged not to smoke until
they are one-and-tweiity. Kor the organlia
tion of this ad mirahle league, parents are in
debted to School Commissioner Charles B,
Hubbard. He says that the boys take up the
subject with earnestness and enthusiasm.
In one week he presented the subject to five
thousand schoolbovs, of whom less than
two hundred tailed to enroll themselves.
New York Independent.
Judging by the number of boys one sees
on the streets of Oregon City smoking these
man-dwarhiig, health-destroying devices,
such a league is badly needed in Oregon
City. Of all the evil practices that boys in
dulge in there is none that will so quickly
wreck them in mind and body as that of
cigarette smoking.
Tint long suspense is at an end, and the
sale which w as made some time since ot the
Oregon Pacific to Homier ,t Hammond has
been continued by Judge Kullerton at Cor
vallis. The price they paid for it, Jm. (0,
is but little more than the rolling stock is
worth, but the road has been so badly mis
managed and subject to so much litigation
that its value has been nearly ruined. Hon
tier it Hammond, it will be remembered,
are the Montana capitalists who have ac
cepted the Astoria subsidy, and are to build
a railroad Irom Coble to that place this year.
Nothing can he learned yet as to their plans
regarding the Oregon Pacific, but it is prob-
aoie mat tne roan win tie put in good re
pair and an effort made to get it on a pay
ing basis.
The candidacy of Judge H. A. Moore, of j
the supreme bench, in the present senatorial
contest, was not of his instigation. The
Judge knew nothing of his candidacy until
the vote was announced to him and was
greatly surprised that his name should be
used. He felt honored, however, at the Mat
tering vote he received, coming as it did
from the representatives of the common,
every day people. Judge Moore would I
make a senator that Oregon could be proud
of, for he is a self-made man whose present
high station was attained by no questions- j
ble means, and whose private and public i
acts have ever been above reproach.
The action of the county court in putting !
an engineer in charge of the road work of
the county has met with the approval of all '
the leading taxpayers, they a' least fully re- j
alizing that the old system was too slow i
and imperfect to ever give good roads lo 1
the county. The opposition that has been j
manifes'ed to the cash system has within I
the past year nearly died out, and there is
no likelihood of its ever reviving. Clacka
mas county will remain at the front as the
most progressive county in the state in road
matters.
Thirtke.i women were elected county
superintendents of schools in South Dakota
at the last election. Krom a small begin
ning as a primary teacher, women have
pUBhed ahead until it will not be so many
years until they will control the educational
work of the country. As to their ability to
meet the requirements of Ibe work, their
past success as educators is sufficient proof,
many of the best schools in the country hav
ing woman principals.
The county commissioners of Clarke
county, Wash,, being elected on a platlorm
pledged to economy and retrenchment,
have commenced to put into practice these
measures. At their last ses- on they issued
an order that hereafter the county would
pay no salary for deputies in the sheriff's,
clerk's, auditor's or treasurer's office, claim
ing that the salary of these ofl'.cers was suffi
cient to enable them to hire their own
deputies.
Silver has been a circulating medium of
as great antiquity as gold, and has been
recognized by all nations and peoples in
their commercial dealings, and it will not
be eliminated from the money of the world
at one blow. The law of necessity will
eventually supplant the law of the bankers
and the white metal will again take its place
in the vaults of the rich and the pockets of
the poor.
It it time that the state of Oregon secured
a divorce from the Iiuker family father
and sons. They have been living off the
taxpayers these many years and it is time
they were cut off. The son Frank made a
young fortune out ol the state printing office
and now the old man wants another whack
at the taxpayers through the office of food
commissioner.
The last session of the New York legisla
ture passed a law prohibiting the employ
ment of none but native born or naturalized
citizens of the United States in the public
service state, county or municipal. The
time will come when such a law will be on
the statute books of every state.
Since the purchase of the San Francisco
Call by Chas. M. Shortridge, that paper has
shown marked signs of improvement. lie
editorials are bright and pointed and its
news pages are well filled. The Call has
now taken a place as one of the leading
dailies of the Coast.
KKIi.Y TO Hit. BARLOW.
To tiir KtuToH: " Wild cat or slates
rights money such as the populists now
want," Win. Harlow in last week's Kntkh-
I'MISK.,
This is the same old falsehood Unit Mr.
Harlow perpetrated in the Orcgonlaii a few
weeks ago, It is a mean appeal to sense
less popular prejudices in the first place,
and to make the matter worse he saddles II
on to a party of an oi'Immtk creed.
Slate hanks Is democratic measure. The
populist creed on money la government
notes representing the government credit
and resting on the people's wealth at largo;
the volume controlled by the government
In such a way as to render the value of the
dollar steady and stable. Th republican
plan has been patched and spliced until
finally broken in two it is a complete wreck.
Mr. Harlow Is good man no doubt, but
he need not so much lear disgrace from har
boring a populist heresy to his party. This
nervous dread alone causes him to stultify
himself by this appeal to a prejudice railed
into existence by our masters the great
Currency Pool, (yours, Mr. Harlow, as well
as mine.) I defy Mr. Harlow to bring up a
single proposition or exponent of the peo
ple's party lo Justify his words.

Mr. Kditur, to see the interest that Is being
manifested in the columns of your valuable
paper regarding the road question. Kverv

the very best Ideas that are obtainable. Hy
this method each and every one can see and

giving a general unison idea lo our county
court. Our little pieces of gravel road that
was built last fall is in the finest condition.

We have had severe storms for two weeks,
wind, snow and ruin. Last Suturdny the
wind was on the rampsge. It uprooted sev
eral trees in this vicinity, and among the
rest it blew a large tree across the Little
Clear creek bridge, completely demolishing
2.r or 30 feet of it, thus cutting on our com
munication with the outside world except
by toe-nailing it. Vt'e will have the bridge
repaired for travel in a few days.
The patrons and residents of this school
district, No. "H, have concluded that they
want a better school house. They met and
appointed a committee to canvass the dis
trict to see if they could raise the necessary
funds by voluntary donation for that pur
pose. Today the committee finished their
canvass and I am happy to say that we suc
ceeded beyond our expectations. We have
raised funds and lumber donations enough
to build a house 2Hx:V; 12 leet story, balloon
frame, ceiledttlirutighout inside, with rustic
on the outside; .also porch and belfry, and
one coat of paint. We have done this with
out taxing or bonding the district. How Is
this for a small district these hard times?
Building will begin as soon as we get the
material on the ground to have the house
ready for the spring term of school.
