FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6,1893.

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION. To day's Washington dispatches are to the effect that Paramount Couimiseioner 13lomt'a recommendations coooermng annexation of the Sandwich Islands are that no action shall be taken by the United States. It is said the report recommends that all questions involved in the annexation and establishment of a protectorate should be submitted to a vote of all the natives its well as the foreigners. Miss Mary H. Kront, who is on the editorial staff of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, has had intimations for some days as to the character of the report of Mr. Bloant and yesterday that paper contained the following editorial from her pen:

The altitude of the administration toward Hawaii is discourteous and unpardonable. For the past seven months the people have txteu kept In suspense. Ignorant as to their future fate, and, because of this, uncertain as to their actual present position.

The arbitr&rr course that Mr. Cleveland has pursued lu the matter is quite iu keening with his action in sending to Hawaii a commissioner whom he, iudividuaily, eudowed with powers and prerogatives uot recognized by the constitution of the United States, a man illequipped, intellectually and politically, for the grave duty assigned him.

It is difficult to mak» the President or his Cabinet, or even the people of the United Stales, comprehend the real gravity of the Hawaiian situation, that country being so far removed from our own. The assurance on the part of the Secretary of State that, pending present negotiations, he will peruik no interference on£ihe part of foreign powers. Is about as applicable to the case as if he were to Issue a proclamation to maintaiu order amoug the inhabitants of Mars.

There is no contIict,present or contemplated, between the Inhabitants and foreign.powers. The question at issue Is between the annexationists and royalists between the white residents of the Ulanos, regardless or their nationality, and the adherents of Queen Llllaukolani, who have proved themselves to be corrupt, self-seeking, and dangerous.

The provisional government has maintained itself nobly. It has given an illustration of selt-s icrltlce and pure patriotism tfathas not heeu surpassed In the history of any people contending for liberty and good government. Hut as time progresses the enemies of law and order, instigated by the.deposed queen, will make a desperate etfort to regain their lost ground. It is inevitable and in that final contllct life and property which were saved by the timely intervention ot the United States minister, Johu T. Stevens, last January, will be ruthlessly sacrificed. This Is no idle prophecy. It is an inevitable result. Does the administration feel prepared to shoulder such a terrible responsibility, the destruction of the homes and of the lives of people whom it has refused to protect, aud whose righteous cause it failed to support?

Moreover, in the cosmopolitan population of the Islands there are English, German, French, Portuguese. Chinese and Japanese subjects. In the .virtual protectorate which the United States bus established, and in which the ad* ininlstratlou has given notice it will brook ho interference, the government makes Itself re| sponsible for the life and safety of all these people. In the event of another insurrection, in which they must suffer with the Americans, does the United States stand ready to meet the heavy claims for indemnity that will be presented. and to abide by the decisions of expensive Iwards ot arbitration which the international complications destined to arise will necessitate? Once again, it is a condition and not a theory which confronts the President aud his party.

The lorces of royalty are already being secretly massed under the compet&ot leadership of Mr. Cluus Bpreckels and Mr. Theodore Davie*. Mr. Spreckles is strlklug one blow for the ex-queen and ten for himself—looking to the perpetuation q( the contract labor system which has made him a millionaire, as will result in case anuexation Is a failure. Mr.

Davics, the guardian of the heir apparent, the Prineess Kalulani, who is uow in England, \s hupii-ed by motives in no degree lessdlsinttrenled than those of Mr. Spreckels. Mr. Da vies Is the representative of -the Canadian Pacific railway, which, since the revolution oi last Juuu*ry, has established a line of steamers unletting Its terminus with the Islands. Mr. lavics Is ultra-English. Mis Investments are chletiy in Hawaiian property, but he resides In Knglam), returning wlieu there le some political game on the tapis in which he hopes to play a winning hand. This has been his oou rse lu the past alwais, aad with greater advon tjLge* to he gained now aud in the future, it hi* plans inileriallan, there is no|reasoo to believe that he has undergone a change of heart.

The appointment of Mr. Ellis Mills as consul general was another act that must be constrLcd as unfriendlluess ou the part of the admiuislratiou. Mr. Miils was Mr. Hiount's secretary, a man of uo especial force of mind or character. While in Honolulu he made himself peculiarly oflensive to the best element there by his open and avowed preference for the society of the most aggressive royalists and haif-castes, and for the ailureuieuts of the I'lnmt and the hula dauce.

The Immediate recall of Mr. Mills, and some slight intimation of good-will aud the desire to treat then fairly aud justly, would go far toward reassuring a people who, throoghno fniili of their own, are in a most painful aid perilous position, I Ait Mr. Cleveland clearly understand that delay aud silence mean nothing less than renewed conspiracy, ultimate rapine aud oodshed.

All eyes are turned toward Indiana polls watching the progress of the battle now on between the forces of decency uuil good order on the one hand, and Coyistn Rnd all that that name implies, on the other. The election comes off

Dext

Tuesday, and until that time there will be no sleep neither day nor "night, as it is wiir to the knife and knife to the hilt on both sides. The Journal, the AVics and the Sun are fighting the corrupt gangsters, while the Sentinel is their champion. The indications point to a decisive victory for the friends of good government.

A STAMP ROOM.

The Novel Wall CoTering of London Apartment. In a certain old-fashioned house in London there is a room about twelve feet square, the walls of whieli are completely papered with postage stamps. It is estimated by Mr. Palmer, who is the largest stamp dealer in the world, that these stamps would be worth five million dollars but for the unfortunate circumstance that they are uot genuine.

Mr. Palmer extracted these forgeries from collections whiuh he has bought from time to time. As a rule he says the people from whom he bought them did not know they were forgeries. No forged stamp, however, is likely to pass as genuine wln?n it falls under his scrutiny.

This crazy patchwork shows a specimen of every known stamp in the world. The Pall Mall .Budget says there are seventy thousand stomps on the walls of the room, and that it took almost thirty years to collect them. "To make wall paper out of them kept four pairs of hands busy for three months. They are pasted upon canvas, so that it will not be necessary to remove the building in order to remove the stamps. Pa^te, not gum, was used, because gum discolors stomps. Having been fastenen to the canvas, the stamps were treated to a coat of shellac and then varnished."

While there cannot be much artistic beauty in a room papered in this way, it suggests ftn Idea for those discouraged stomp collectors who started with the intention ot securing a million, but have at last abandoned the idea after patiently "soaking' bff" and tying up oevefaj thousands of the small bits ot papex^ gathered by their own Industry through the contributions of pitying friends.

IN EAST INDIAN PRISONS.

A Strange Custom That Fills the Jails with Patriarchs. A student of life and manners in the Punjaub has been struck by the large proportion of very old men in the Indian jails. In the prison at Mooltan, says the London News, there were last year seventeen life prisoners whose total ages were found to amount to more than eleven hundred years, two of them being patriarchs of upward of eighty. This remarkable fact Is attributed partly to the great improvement in the economy of Indian jails, since the exposure of their mismanagement some years ago, but more directly to the prevalent practice when a crime has been committed of handing over the least useful member of the family as a sort of vicarious offering to justice.

On this point the inspector general of Indian prisons observes that the confinement which conviction entails is, of course, less irksome to the aged than to the young. ''Moreover," he continues, "the people know that a specially comfortable place in the shape of good food, ample olothing. a special dietary, the lightest of work, and a society not entirely uncongenial awaits the"old man in our jails." A ease has been cited in which a man had been strangled. The person to whom the crime, by his own confession, was brought home was a feeble old fellow who had been paralyzed in both arms for twenty years and could not have committed the crime. But as his family all said he did it and as there were plenty of "eye witnesses," the old man went cheerfully to jail, and lies there still.

A Tree oil Kverjr Grave.

In the land of the Moslem, the country of the followers of Slahomet, the true prophet, a Moslem grave, when once filled in, Is never to be opened on lyiv account. With a view to remove the faintest cba&ce of any grave being thus defiled the Moslems plant a cypress tree on every grave immediately after the interment, which makes the Moslem cemeteries resemble forests. Two hundred millions, or fourteen per cent, of the human race, profess Mohammedanism. A year or two ago some missionaries were sent to this country in order to seek its conversion to the "true faith." Turkey is the only portion of Europe occupied In force by Moslems, but they abound in many parts of Asia. In the island of Timor burials are much delayed owing to the necessity of gathering funds for the burial feast, which in most cases means ruin to the family. After the feast comes the burial as soon as the grave Is filled In a young cocoanut palm is planted upon it.

Cossack Holdlers.

The Cossack soldier in the winter time is obliged to sacrifice every other consid&ration to that of resisting the deadly cold of the steppes. There is a belief among them that their entrance to heaven will be easier If they are personally clean, so that a scrupulous toilet Is made before any chance of an encounter, but this neatness is not apparent at first glance, for they are bundled up in groat coats of sheepskin or goatskin, with a great pointedhood. Clumsy mittens conceal their hands, and wisps of straw ure bound around their feet. The officer looks exactly like the private. The Cossacks made their .first campaign with Russian soldiers in 15118. Tiie Cossacks now in the Russian army number I0.44S, exclusive of those incorporated with the field troops.

A Queer Kfp.te Colo.

In the old code of Massachusetts and other New England stat there were once very severe penalties prescribed against the use of tobacco in any form. A statute, dated 1032, forbade the use of tobacco by any person in any place, public or private, under penaly (jf a fine of one penny for each offense. This law not proving effective another was passed two years later of much greater severity. All tobacco users were ordered to discontinue the vile habit. Tavern-keepers were finable five shillings for permitting siiloking cm their premises, while the fine for every offense in the private use of the weed, even in one's own house, was two shillings and and six pence foi each offense.

Nervous Dytpepsla.

Senator James F, Pierce, ol New York, writes: "For the past two years 1 have suffered very much from au aggravated form of nervous dyspepsia. I have resorted to various remedial agents, deriving but little benellt. A few months since a friend of mine suggested the trial of Allcock's Porous Plasters. Following the suggestion, I have been using the same with the happiest effects. To those similarly afflicted let me suggest the manner of their use. I place one over my stomach, one over the hepatic region, and one on my back. The effect is excellent. From the day I commenced their une have been slowly but surely Improving, and im quite confident that |by continuing I thall again be restored to my accustomed health.

Tack Blacker, a Hoosier of some note from around Colfax, was found driving wound town last night sound asleep. Our marshal got in and took a ride with him, and for want of a better piace to put him out until he got his nap out, drove to the calaboose aud then was compelled to carry him in and gently put him to bed with his boots on This morning Tack was on end and calling for water, something those Colfax fellows seldom call for.

I'd rather suffer some big Ills. To put down the old-fashioned, huge, bitter pills, that griped so and made such disturbance internally, is more than a wise man will do. He will not put up with such unnecessary suffering. He uses Or Pierce's XJieasant Pellets. As a Liver Pill they are unequaled. Smallest, cheapest, easiest to take. Put up in vials, heruirtically sealed, hence always fresh and reliable, which is not true of the large pills, iu wood or paste ooard boxes. As a gentle laxative only one Pellet for a dose.
