KING KaIAK^UA'8 MISSION. How would it seem to have the state of Hawaii one of the sisters of the republic of the United States? It has been asserted that the main part of King Kalakana'e mission to this country is to sell the Sandwich or Hawaiian Islands to the United States, and deliver them over body and bones, volcanoes, mountains, gentlo savages, lepers, heathen superstitions and all to be part and parcel of our commonwealth.

Counting mountains, precipices, volcanoes and coral reefs along with fertile plains and valleys, the Hawaiian Islands contain 6,100 square miles of surface. Much of it is exceedingly fertile, raising vegetation of the semi-tropical countries in rich luxuriance. Before the McKinley law practically cut off their reciprocity sweets a number of planters were making fortunes in sugar culture. Cheap Chinese labor has been utilized to a large extent for this purpose. The climate is incomparable, the temperature at Honolulu averaging 75 degs.

If the twelve Hawaiian islands should become part of this republic we should get some 50,000 or so brown men and brethren added to the red, black and white peoples that already make up our happy family. The gentle Sandwich islanders ore a handsome, well formed race, who smiled, ate bread fruit and went naked before the good missionaries taught them to wear the "white man's clothes. Then they died off rapidly and showed their good taste. That veracious historian, Mark Twain, says they are most devout Christians till an earthquake shock scares them. Then they at once begin to pray with all their might to their old heathen gods. The white man's god wilr. do very well for ordinary wear, but not in cases of emergency.

An organization of Arabs is the latest thing in syndicates in the United States. There are already in New York a number of weiilthy Arab and Syrian citizens. Their countrymen are coming to America in large numbers. To provide for the new arrivals the rich Arabs who are already familiar with the ways of the country will purchase a large tract of land and settle their compatriots thereon. The syndicate will go into the business of fruit raising and silk growing, thus adding to the agricultural resources of the country. The members of the syndicate have been looking at lands in Arizona and in Pennsylvania. If there is anything in physical geography, the soil of Arizona will probably seem more familiar to the dwellers in a clime of sand and sun.

If the congressional reapportionment bill that has been agreed on goes through, the representation for the next ten years will be one member to 173,901 people, and the number of members of the house will be 856 instead of 332 as at present. Under the new apportionment as agreed on, of the southern states Alabama, Arkansas and Missouri will each gain one congressman, while Texas will gain two. The other greatest gains are in the northwest. Nebraska will gain three congressmen and Minnesota two. Of the older states Pennsylvania will gain :two new members.

•Is it true that in the Appointment of a board of women managers for the world's fair those who do the work that will be exhibited as women's handicraft have .been ignored, and a few rich ladies who don't know a bobbin from a threshing machine, who never did a day's work in their lives, but whose millionaire husbands have political influence, have been put on this board to represent the millions of industrial women of America? If this be true then the "lady board of managers" is a great sham.

THE ^Republican State Central Committee held a nr eeting at Indianapolis Tuesday and started the ball rolling for 1892. Hon. L. T. Mioliener resigned as Chairman and Hon, J. K. Gowdy, of Bushville, was elected to fill the vacancy. It was decided to immediately open permanent headquarters with

F. M. Midliken, the Secretary, in charge. It is to be a campaign of education as *. resolution was adopted recommending that the circulation of Rcpubhoan newspapers be encouraged in each oounty in the State. The right kind of literature placed in the hands of every voter iu the State and keeps it up until the polls olose in 1892 will have a telling effect. Now is the time to subscribe for THE JOURNAL.

The best medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be nou-irritating, easy of application and one that will reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh durlDg the past obliges us to admit that only one remedy has met these conditions, and that Is Ely's Cream Balm. This pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has never done, and both physicians and patients freely concede this fact. The more distressing symptoms yield to it.

AN OFFICER SLAIN.

Lieutenant Casey Shot Through the Head by Hostiles.

IATE ADVICES INDICATE A BATTLE.

Heavy Firing Going oil Near the Camp'of the Savages—An Army Olltaer Takes the Place of liulhin Agent itoyer.

SHOT 1!Y INDIANS.

PINK KIDOK, S. D., Jan. 8.—A courier has just come in from General lirooke's headquarters on Wounded Knee creek with a dispatch for General Miles to the effect that heavy firing is going on in the direction of the hostile camp and that he believes some portion of the troops have engaged the rebellious Sioux. Mis forces tire ready to move just as soon as it can be definitely learned where and what the fighting is. Scouts have been sent out from here to get at the truth and all is excitement.

General Miles has also received an official report that Lieutenant Edward W. Casey, Company H, Twenty-second Infantry, has been killed by the hostiles. The unfortunate young officer had gone too near the hostile camp, when he was fired on and shot through the head. His body has been recovered.

The hostiles, according to the reports of scouts, have nearly completed their rifle pits on the bluffs, thirteen miles north of the agency. Every old Indian lighter here says that if General Miles were not hampered at Washington he could end the trouble in two weeks. While it is an actual impossibility to surround the Indians in a way that will effectually prevent some of them from getting through the cordon of troops, yet at the same time, so army officers here say, the reds could be so crushed by a central movement of the troops now around them that the mischief done by the escaping few would be reduced to a minimum.

The Indians protest vigorously against the transfer of their care to the War Department, saying that the military men keep them too strictly and would not allow them to work their farms.

The body of Christopher Miller, a herder who was killed by the hostiles a week ago, was found by Red Eagle, a friendly Indian, Wednesday and brought to the agency. There were three bullet-lioles in Miller's head and two in his breast, while his skull was crushed in with a club. Miller had headquarters beyond White Clay creek, and not having heard of the battle at that point he started for Pine Ridge alone. He had been noted for his kindness to the Indians, and evidently had no fear when two of them whom he knew approached him. They got close to his pony and then drawing revolvers together fired simultaneously. The deed was witnessed by a ••friendly."

General Miles lias not yet heard from Big Road, Jack Red Cloud, He Dog ^d Little Hawk, who conferred with him Monday last and returned to the hos•tiles. Late Wednesday evening the General received word from lied Cloud to the effect that he would come in this morning and bring all the Indians he could with him. The General thinks that Two Strike will accompany Red Cloud and that they will be followed by all the other Indians.

General Miles is satisfied that the transfer of the agencies to army officers will inure to the benefit and happiness •of the Indians. He bases his opinion upon the record of the men whom he has recommended for the several positions at the Tongue River, Standing Rock, Rosebud, Cheyenne River and Pine Ridge agencies.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 8.—General Colby, of the State militia, has eighteen companies protecting the towns of Valentine,* Cody, Gordon, Itusliville, Havsprings, Cliadron, Crawford and Harrison, extending 150 miles along the western boundary of the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies. TIK companies comprise 1,700 men. Buffalo Bill is assistant to General Colby and will arrive at the agency to-day to confer with General Miles. Colonel Baker, of Omaha, and Major Comegys, of Cheyenne, has arrived to pay the troops in the field. It will require §00,000 to do this.

SALT LAKE CITY, U. T., Jan. 8.— A special from Pocatello, Idaho, just received, says the Indians are burning the town. Troops have been asked for from Boise City.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Secretaries Proctor and Noble and General Scliofield had a conference at the War Department Wednesday afternoon in regard to the Indian troubles, and it was agreed to recommend to the President the appointment of an officer of the army as agent of the Indians at the Pine Ridge agency, thus necessitating the retirement of Indian Agent Royer from that duty. The officer so appointed will, however, retain his position in the army. The Indian agents at the other agencies will not be disturbed, but, as shown in General Schofield's telegram of the»6th inst. to General Miles, army officers have been designated to take military control of four other agencies, with instructions to co-operate with the agents of the Interior Department. The report that these agents have been displaced is without foundation, except so far as relates to the Pine Ridge agency. Captain Pierce, of the First Infantry, has been selected as the agent at the Pine Ridge agency, and he will probably be appointed by the President.
