This chance is made from a motive of respect to the town of Med ford from whose business men we expect our' support. As to the ultimate result of the Hawaii trouble no conclusion can as yet be arrived at, but from the fact that our government is sending all the available war ships on this coast to the island would seem to indicate that trouble' from other na tions was anticipated, and further, that probable annexation was looked forward to.

LOOKING "JCST A LITTLE BETTER. From Eugene Daily Guard. We have received the first issue of the Medeord Mail, under A. S. Bli ton's management. It shows sign of improvement already. The people of Medford aau to be congratulated upoa Mr. Baton purchasing their paper, as he is a live, energetic newspaper man. I WILL HE PAY THE BILLS? Congressman Hermanu is getting more advertising around this part of the country just at present than any man in the valley except The Mail. Will he "chip in" and help pay the bills? It is expecting too much of the boys to ask them to do all this for jaw bone. .Will Mr. H. pleasa send check to Grants Pass Courier for this little ads: A. S. Bliton, formerly of the Flor ence West, has bought out F. G. Kert son and It is said will run it (The Mail) in the intereatof Binger Hermann, who aspires to succeed Dolph in the U. S. Senate. The steamship Clnudine, which sailed from the Pacific into San Francisco last Friday night, boro tiding that have excited the world. She came lis thousand miles across thy sea to n a messenger from the Ulauds two noimce thut an ambitious Queen had overset her throne. For months past, as most of our read ers doubtless kii4vv, there has boon trouble on the Hawaiian Islands be tween the white citizens and the na tives. The result is, the citizens have dethroned the Queen and established a provisional government. A committee from the Islands is now at Washing ton ondeavoriug to negotiate with the United States to Uike these Islands un der her protecting wing. The condition of affairs is told in the following: THE OLD REGIME CLEARED OUT. The new government has assumed formal control of the palace and bar rack. The ex-queen retired to her private residence at Washington place, and the government granted her an honorary guard of 10 man. Tha house hold guards were paid olT to February 1 and. disbanded. A strong fores of volunteers took posession. and is in charge of the palace, barracks, polit-e headquarters and other government buildings. At headquarters the work of military organization is being rapidly pushed forward and volunteer continue to pour iu steadily from till quarters. It is not apprehended that any difficulty will arise upon the other islands. Tbe provisional government spent the ISth and a large part of the night in per fecting their organization and adjust ing the wheels of government to the changed order. Meantime the ordi nary routine of government work is going ahad with but little break. RECOGNIZED BY rORElC.N POWERS. Up to the time of the departure of tbe Claudine, all the powers represen ted in the Hawaiian islands, excepting Great Britain and Japan, hare recog nized the new government. The foreign power represented at the islands include the United States, Russia, Germany, France, Austria Hungary, Portugal,. Spain and Italy, besides most of the smaller European states, Mexico and several of the South American republics. THE CITIZENS' PROCLA M ATIOX. "We, the citiz-ns and residents of the Hawaiian islands, organized and acting for the public safety and tha common good, hereby proclaim as fol lows: '"First The Hawaiian monarchial j-ysUra of government is hereby abroi gated. "Second A provisional government for tbe control and management of pub lic affairs and the protection of the public psace is hereby established la exist until terms of union with the Uaited States of America have negotiated and agreed upon. politicians, and we re-convinced by the queen that she was acting in their iu- terests.'' WHAT HAWAII WANTS. Charles L. Coster, one of the com missioners to Washington has this to say of tho coramissioneis visit to our capitol: ' "The object of our visit to W aslnng- ton is to have the United Suites take posession of the Hawaiian islands. We want to join the Union, not as a state, however, but under a territorial or district form of government. A gov eminent like that of the District of Columbia, with the addition of a gov ernor appointed by the president, is preferable for many reasons. '"There is such a large number of Chinese and other cheap labor on the islands who cannot be trusted to vote Intelligently, that if universal suffrage is declared the whites, who rcpresont almost tbe entire business interests of tbe country, would be outvoted and powerless. "An entire new system of govern ment must be built up, and tha only way to do it is to have the United States take charge. CENTRAL POINT. this or tbe whiles must leave the islands.

Thbre are several firms doing business in Medford whose adver tisements do not appear in The Mail.

A Detroit, Michigan dispatch to Sun day's Oregonian says: Eleven years after a decree of divorce was granted against her, and nearly a year after her ex-husband was laid in the ground, Charlotte William, of Applegate, Or., comes into the Wayne circuit court with, a bill to impeach the decree in order that she may be permitted to de fend the bill. She was married to John C. Williams i,n May, 184B, and lived with him for ovei 30 years. At the end of that time, he acquired in the neigh borhood of $250,000 worth of property. In 1881, he secured a divorce from ber, alleging extreme cruelty. Np provis ions were made in the decree regard ing any disposition of Mrs. Williams' right of dower or for permanent ali mony, ; Williams, it is alleged, mar? ried again,, and died in Florida in April last. Mrs. Williams asks that the decree may bo impeached for fraud, a having been rendered against her just rights and those of her daughter; also that she may be permitted to de fend tha bill and sustain her cross-bill by proper testimony. She winds up her prayer with a petition for tempor ary and permanent alimony. Tbe best five cent cigar in town is the Pride of Bedford for sale by Davis k. Pottenger.

"Fourth All officers under the ex isting government, are roq jested to continue to exorcise their functions and perform the duties of their respect ive offices, with the exceptions of tho followiiig-nained persons: Queen Lili uokalani; Charles B.

Peterson, attorney- general, who are- heroby removed from office. "Fifth All Hawaiian laws and con titutional principles not incosistent herewith shall continue in force until further order of the executive and ad visory councils. .THE POLITICAL CONDITION. "The new constitution which was brought out by the queen granted her almost absolute poer and disfran chised the white voters. The natives themselves as a rule, are not in favor of the ex-queen's plans. She is sup ported by a certain clique of about 20, who are anxious for political power. The queen is jealous of the power of the whites, and is an ambitious, schem ing woman. She enjoyed an income of between $5,000 and $100,000, with uo responsibility. "But she undertook to mix. in poli tics, and got tho worst of it. "Hawaiian, 'as a rule, are a simple, peaceful and indolent people, and would probably make no trouble if let alone.

The 25th anniversary of the wed ding of Presiding Elder T. L. Jones and wife was celebrated at Grants Pass last Friday evening at the Methodist church in that city. Presents to the value of $200 were given the parties by friends. At Eugene last Wednesday J. P.

The gift is really worth considerable more than $1000 to each, as the real estate has been put in at about 50 per cent of its value.
