When Mark Twain was introduced at
the base ball dinner in New York, Mr..
Clemens responded to the toast, 'The
Sandwich Islands, as follows. Though
not native, have visited, great many
years ago, the Sandwich Islands, that
peaceful land, that far off home Of pro-
found repose. And these boys have played
there-base ball, the very symbol, the
outward and visible expression of the
drive and push and rush and
struggle of the raging, tearing,
realize it, the place and the fact are so
incongruous; it's ike interrupting fun

Legitimate point Of contact, no possible
kinship between base ball and the Sand

islands all sentiment. In base ball you've
got to do everything just right or you
don't get there; in the islands you've got
to do everything wrong or you can't stay
there. You do it wrong to get it right,
for If you do it right you get it wrong.
THE natives never mount horse from

the starboard side, they always milk her

many short people there-they We got
their heads kicked off. When they meet
on the road they don't turn to the right,
they turn to the left And so, from always
doing everything wrong end first, that
way, it makes them left-handed and
cross eyed.

The Senate committee on constitu-
tional reform has reported adversely on
the House bill callinga convention. The
report agrees with the objections stated,
from time to time, in this paper It is
long, exhaustive, logical and convincing.
To any fair. unpreiudiced man who is
capable or willing to examine the subject
it would have been sufficient to say that
the vote of 1887, IA, ,450, was not
equal to the prescribed majority, and
that the convention was not called. But
the report does more in order that there
may not be any mistake in regard to the
position to the committee. The whole
subject is passed under view. No mat
ter how much a new constitution may be
needed to change it in an orderly or in
legal manner necessitates absolute
compliance with constitutional meth
Ods. A fair and intelligent man
cannot come to any other conclu-
sion than that 1850 votes were reoui-
site and that the vote Of 1887, Il, 450 was
1,200 votes short Of the number required
It was almost entirely matter Of arith-
metic. The Senate committee could not
have come to any other conclusion. But
the committee deserves thanks for an
exhaustive and convincing report

Is Senator Higgins hypocrite or a
tradncer, or both2 At the banquet in
Philadelphia last night be said:
The gravity of the situation has to be
appreciated to realize the danger, for If
the Democrats had carried the Presi-
dency it would have carried the Supreme
Court, which would have been organized
TO suit the Southern people in the de-
struction of those principles so dear to
the North.
Such declaration is neither honest,
truthful nor creditable. In saying such
things the Senator cannot be honest, he
knows what he says cannot be true and
If he had a spark of respect for himself
or bis neighbors, who are Democrats, he
would not say them. It is
not creditable TO his mind or
his heart. In short it is hypocritical and
knavish TO assume that he and his party
possess the virtue and the patriotism
that maintain the United States.
Viewed as a man Senator Higgins is no
better than he should be and by compari-
son with other men in similar positions
he is somewhat below the average. But

fore his death he suddenly conceived an
idea that he should cease his active life
and remain indoors. though still in per-
feet health. 1t is likely this change hast
ened his death, as he never was very
sick in his life, and only employed a
doctor once before his last illness. He
used liquor habitually early in life, as
every one else did. but gave it up when
Maine became a temperance state, con-
tinuing the use of tobacco, however, to
the end.
His mental faculties were unimpaired
to the last; he had never had headache
and his hair was not entirely gray till he
reached 100. 1t is curious TO reflect on
the many changes the world has seen
during that mans life. Sixty such lives
would reach back to Adam. Allowing
for each to become old enough to re-
member all that his predecessor could
tell him, we might have a complete
