TWO OF A KIND.

There is little use IN arguing with
prejudiced and wilful men such as the
Nationalist leaders both in Ireland and
England have been actively engaged in
with their Unionists foes for some time
past in their endeavor to win them to a
just cause. 1t is pot likely to prove
profitable, and yet if there was eyer d
time when the dictates of common
sense should be upheld, by word OF
mouth and by the pen, the present is
that time in the old land. A political
mania seems to have seized the minds
and hearts even of some English public
men. Those who had been won't to be
clear. sighted IN the debating and con-
sideration Of social and national Ques-
tions are now apparently bewildered
by the mists Of party prejudice, and I'm
able to discern facts which all the
world outside themselves can easily see.
During the past few weeks both Cos
chen and Chamberlain have shown
themselves to be victims Of the most
yirulent form of this pOlitico-mental
malady. They have been dealing with
an Ireland lately which has no exist
ence outside their own diseased i'm
aginations. According to the former
all Ireland wants is prosperity, while
the latter would have it that all she
needs is his scheme of local self -govern
ment to make her supremely happy.
Judas Chamberlain, in his speeches,
does not regard the Irish people as be-
ing either reasonable or patriotic, F"
which is natural enough, perhaps, COM
ing from such source. He speaks of
the Nationalist majority of Irishmen as
''tbe people who break the law" Like
Goschen, who depicts them as pining
for poverty, Chamberlain paints
Nationalist Irishmen as craving for
riot. Now, If we had not already
strong proof of the depth of the folly
into which political bigotry sometimes
leads men we should hesitate to think
that either of these two worthless could
possibly believe in the reality of the
phantoms which they have created for
their English audiences. Under the
circumstances It's. however, impossible
to doubt the strength of the halluci-
nation into which both have fallen any
more than the seriousness of the diff
cultles which their wrong mindedness
may create both for themselves and
others. Two more plausible hypocrites
and schemers than Goschen and Cham
berlain it would not be easy to discover,

most exquisite musical treat. Nothing
similar has ever been attempted on SO
grand a scale in the Northwest. Nearly
all OF the great masters Of classical and
modern music are represented on the
programme by selections from their
most popular works, and the leading
performers are all artists Of national
reputation, Of course, German music

festival is due to German enterprise;
but the French and Italian masters will
have no reason to complain of having
been neglected. Most. if not all, of them
are on the programme.
The great sengerfest chorus will be
made up of 800 voices, from the singing
societies OF Chicrgo, Lakeview, Free
port, Rockford and Rock Island. ILL.,,
La Crosse, Madison, Watertown,

When l was young man | mgrried

was the daughter of an athlete, and
from him she inherited a love for such
unwomanly practices as boxing, walk

I used to tell her that she might be
better employed reading her Bible; but
she seemed to enjoy it, and I didn't
want to be harsh. Well one villain

When the portal swung aJar she was
confronted by big rawboned tramp,
who looked as strong as draught horse.
He assured her with strong collection
OF imported and domestic oaths that he

it right away. Somewhat frightened at
his manner, my wife endeavoredto close
the door but he grasped her arm VIC

there like a corpse, unable to lift a

Well, what did she do?
Recovering from her scare, she
wrenched her arm free and pasted that

and went over like a failing church.
He came up pretty groggy and mad all

George E. Ledgerwood, one of the
gentlemen appointed on committee
last Monday night at meeting of
workingmen held on Bridge Square, to
protest against the granting of cable
franchise to Mr.. Lowry or anyone else,
writes to the Journal that he is not
opposed to the franchise asked for by
Messrs. Anderson & Douglass. provided
that it is not exclusive. Competition
in the street railway business" he goes
on to say, sis just what the city needs,
and, next to owning the lines itself,
the best thing for the city to do is to let
people own them who will be satisfied
with their holdings and not think they
own the rest of the city as we'll" Mr..
Ledgerwood certainly takes com men
dab]e view of this matter--such too, we
believe. as will receive very general en-
dorsement from the workingmen.
That there has been much cruelty
practiced at the Rochester asylum is
evident from statements made before
the commission at Rochester, which has
recently been Investigating the charges
made regarding the death of Taylor
Coombs and who, it has been claimed,
was murdered by attendants. From all
appearances it looks as though this man
Coombs had been singled out for severe
punishment not only on the grounds of
his bad character and unruly nature,
but more particularly because Of his
race and color. We don't like to be-
lieve this but the evidence certainly
points that way. He was a desperate
man to deal with. nevertheless his color
nor race should not have counted
against him. He was at least entitled
the treatment accorded to all other in
mates of the Rochester asylum, though
really that doesn't seem to have been
very good.

There is every reason to believe that
the citizens mass meeting Tonight at
Harmonic hall will not have been
called in vain. Messrs. Anderson,
Douglass & Co. have made fair propo-
sition, they do not ask for an exclusive
street car franchise and their willing
ness to expend $1,000, 0C0 for the city's
development is something that will
benefit Minneapolis everywhere within
its boundary lines and help in no small
way to equalize the value of property
here. Nor are these gentlemen afraid
of restrictions, only asking in fair
minded manner that the city shall not
make them so heavy as to prevent the
building of the roads. We have no
doubt but what the sentiment at to-
nights meeting will be overwhelming
in favor of the proposition made by the
gentlemen mentioned, and that the
city council will thereafter lndorse pub
lie sentiment 80 unanimously expressed
there can be but little doubt. Here Is
an opportunity for cable lines that
should not be put aside.

1t was matter of great surprise dur

from his wife, who but short time

that she has been for years subject to

have been seriously impaired by the
former, so much so as to incapacitate
her for business and to make it impe g.

believe it should be, strongly with the
wife.

THE DEBATING SOCIETY e..

Discussion or the Sunday Law-subjeot
for Next Meeting.
Yesterday evenings meeting of the
Debating Society was a successful one in
the amount of oratory that characterized
the discussion. Mr.. a. Vogel opened
the debate in support of the resolution
that the first duty of the next Legisla-
ture was to repeal the Sunday law. Mr..
harrington responded on the negative
side, and of the six or eight following
speakers, only one supporter was found
for the full tenor OF the resolution. Sew
eral opposants thereof conceded that
some modification OF the Sunday law
might be desirable, but the bulk OF Opin-
ion expressed was that the Hawaiian
law of Il weekly rest day was mild III its
restrictions, compared with that of many
other countries, and that its abrOgatiOn
would be subversive of good order and
of the physical and social welfare Of
tOiliug humanity.
For next meeting the subject of dis
cussiOn will be: "Resolved, that war
fare as means Of settling quafTels or
misunderstanding between nations is 4
relic of barbarism and should be abol-
ished." The President, Mr.. Walter Hill,
will lead the affirmative, and MIR. Percy

TIE spacious hall OF the Honolulu
. AriJn was crowded to the verandas with
) ourh, beauty and responsibility, on the
occasion Of the concert by that society
yesterday evening. 1t was, indeed, one
OF the tinest-looking houses" that have
patronized musical entertainments in
this city for some time.
The programme as published pre-
viously, with some additions, was faith
fully, and on the whole happily, rem
dered Miss Frederick J NoIte, both in
the duet with Mr.. Thrower and in hersoIo,
more than maintained the popularity in
to which she sprung on her debut, about
a year ago, on the amateur musical stage
Her singing was among the choicest
gems oi the evening, displaying rich
natural qualities well trained.
Mrs. }. +. Bowler made a fine hit like
wise, as " LeOnora" in the scene from
al TrovatOre," with Mr.. Chas. Thrower
as ''AIauTicO." 1t is sufficient to say that
this lady did not disappoint expectations
based upon an enVIaDle reputation as a
vocalist.
The duet selected by Mr.. Thrower and
Mr. RObt More was the favorite English
ballad, cardboard Watch Alloy" and !
they rendered it IN capital style. 1t may |
be interesting to mention that the selec- /
ton was the choice OF the German mem !
Der Of the duet.
Mr.. Tn. VOLTS either solo was ex-
quisitely played, eliciting an enthusiastic /
encore that was responded to.
The violin and piano duet by Mr.. TIL
Schmidt and Mr.. II. Berger was very
enjoyable, except for the breaking of
string in the l76 year old Stradivarius
violin, that the former professor used,
and for one or two other Interruptions.
Mr.. J. Hubash gave his solo, ''Good
Night My Dearest Child" by Abt, with
his well-knOwn musical power. The
AriOn singing suffered somewhat from
nervousness due to the stage inexperi
9nce OF some of the members, but was in
he main quite acceptable and promis-
ng Of much pleasure from the same
source after more public practice.
Mr.. Neldener gave the audience a spell
If hearty laughing, by a cOmical pot
)ourri OF German songs, partly recita-
i've, in which the performer displayed
prightly dramatic talent.
After the concert the floor was cleared
or dancing, that pastime being INDUCED
n by large proportion of the assembly.
The Royal Hawaiian orchestra, under
he leadership of Bandmaster Berger,
Implied the music. Refreshments to
nit all palates were literally laid out on
he verandas and in the outer rooms. {
he entertainment lasted we'll into the
light, and altogether the evening was
most enjoyable. The Arion will net
andsome sum from the festival.
