THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

Some of our newspaper contemporaries
are troubling themselves relative to the sit
nation in which the Hawaiian Islands are
placed by the passage of tile Mckinley
Tariff Bill. AS the readers of THE CALL
generally know. the prosperity of the Islands
was brought about by a reciprocity treaty.
through which sugar was received in the
United States free of duty. This, Of course.
enriched the Inhabitants OF the islands. Al
the time that the treaty was entered into the
affair was not one of very much Importance,
for the planters of the islands were produc-
ing but little sugar, and besides the sugar
interests of the United States were small
4 few planters in Louisiana and Florida
turned out n little cane sugar. The beet
root interest was then supposed to have
been failu o, hence no one seemed to
care much about the treaty with Hawaii.
Since then our citizens have Invested con-
siderable sums of money in plantations and
the cultivation of the cane. This property
is TO a great extent in the ownership Of
Americans. A few Englshmen own PLAN
tationS. There is no good reason why the
islands should receive a bounty from the
United States, unless they become portion
of the Union. There has been 9ySf said
heretofore in relation TO tie advantages of
Tree trace wit. Hawaii, but this has only
been ah.-t.n Incentive for our own citizens to in
vest money there. Now the question arises
whether Californians should not invest
money in the production of sugar in their
own State instead of a foreign country.
Even as careful a man as Claus Spreckels is III
favor of beet-sugar factories in California.
TIE CALL believes if Hawaii wants the
advantages of our markets it should come
under our flag. We know that foreigners
on the islands want our markets, and adj
vaatages to the value of some millions of
dollars annually, but they lock to Europe
rather than the United States.

1t has often been urged against the health
full influence of women in public affairs that
where their feelings are interested their
Judgment is ohseured. While this is true to
an extent in the RELATIONS of men with each
other it IS seldom that men let their feelings
get the better of their Judgment to the de-
gree Miss Frances L. Willard has in her let
ter in defense Of Kean, the bankrupt Chi
cago banker. II Miss Willard had any new
facts to present her courage in coming for
ward with defense at the present time
would be commendable. But she does not
deny any of the assertions that have been
made showing that Kean received deposits
Knowing that his bank was insolyent, and
pledged the capital of the bank, which the
depositOrs supposed was their security, for
loans. There has been no defense made of
the charge Of swindling except that offered by
Miss Willard. This estimable lady urges in
his defense that he had done business thirty
years without being found out. How long
his bank had been insoivent while he was
accumulating property in his own name, Miss
Willard does not pretend to know. Miss
Willard says she is panied beyond express
sion by the silence of the good. Assuming
the lady to be one of the good" tile rest OF
them will be panied beyond expression that
she too had not preserved silence.

PORTRAITS OF CHRIST.

The reader will find on another page re-
production of number Of portraits of
Christ by painters of the classic school from
Leonardo ia Vinci to AIRY Scheffer. 1t need
hardly to be remarked that no eontempo-
raneous portrait of the Savior is or proba-
bly, ever was in existence, and no descrip-
ton of his lineaments is contained in the
gospels or in JoseDhus. The painters of the
middle ages and of the renaissance, there
fore, had to idealize the God man, and they
arrived at general consensus of opinion
by representing Jesus as a man slender in
build, rather above the middle height, with
a benign expression of coantenance and
blond hair and beard. That they borrowed
from the Greek conception of Arollo is
clear; but they refined the Greek ideal, and
substituted spiritual light for physical
beauty. All painters followed in the same
lines until quite modern times. Whether
they depicted Christ in the act of raising the
dead, or of preaching the gospel, or of endur-
ing torture on the cross. the man was al
ways the same, whether the painter was an
italian, Frenchman, or Il member of the
Spa nish or Flemish school.
In our day the tendency to depart from
tradition and to approximate more closely
to realism-so far as conjecture justifies-
has been quite marked. A flood of light on
the personality of Christ has been shed by
Renan and Strauss; and our own Wallare
in his admirable Ben Hur," has probably
described the Savior, as he really was, with
more accuracy than any historian or theolo-
gian of the past. Following in the track ct
these honest writers. equally hesaass. paint
ers have endeayoreeal-1to depict Christ as he
prOhahtV at.nsa rpti tn the peoplp of Iar,Sa
lem. Dore led the way in his great canvas
Of "Christ at the Pretorium" Munkacsy fol-
lowed in the Christ before Plate" with
which every one is familiar. and Vereseha-
gin was equally independent and intrepid in
his treatment of the Resurrection"
Of these works, the only one which is we'll
known in this city is the Christ before Pr
late" Jesus is not therein depicted in a
halo Of divinity but DIS tall, slim and ema-
eiated. On his face sorrow has LETT its
trace, and his features mark the race from
which he sprang. He is divinely beautiful,
but it is the beauty of the shininy soul rather
than the beauty of figure. SO noble a coun-
tenance can well be identified as that Of the
author of the Sermon on the Mount, but
it could not be reconciled with the adven-
lures of Apollo. So much cannot be said of
the portraits of the old school, though they,
for centuries, were regarded by the ignorant
as authentic preSentments of the face of the
Savior

A DEMOCRATIC oUrHURsT.

Commenting upon the Senate's PROPOSE
ton 10 purchase 12,038,OGO ounces of silver
bullion and issue treasury otes against the
bullion. a Democratic paper asks, Why not buy
L, 900 600 centals of wheat for the same pur-
pose, as well as silver? The question indi-
Gates confusion not of ideas, but of the
lack OF ideas on the part of the journal maxi
ing these comments. Silver bullion is a ma
terial out Of which constitutional money can
readily be made Wheat is not such mate
rial. Under certain conditions wheat would
be the more valuable product Of the two,
but under the existing conditions Of scare
ity # money and surplus of wheat silver
is the more available as relief to the money
market. The bullion against which treasury
notes are issued may be converted into law
ful money with which to redeem the notes.
Can wheat be used for the same purpose?

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

Christmas has come again, and from all indi-
cations il promises to be one of the merriest
that San Francisco has known. In large
class scattered over the country east of the
mountains the season will not be one Of un-
all3yed eontentmcnt. Numbers of promi-
Rent persons and firms have gone into bank
ruptcy, and are not only straitened in
their personal means but have lost the
power of giving lucrative employment to
others. Among those who have not failed
the apprehension of coming disaster enbit-
tiers every moment. No one can tell where
the present financial trouble will end, or
" no will fall by the way before ii eliminates.
Hence every man is shutting down on IN
necessary expenses. and the money spent
on Christmas presents in the Eastern cities
is far less than usual. To many and many
a New Yorker aud Bost0nian this Christina
vii be anything but merry.
Here we have no winter of discomfort
Business has been good, the crops bonnti-
full, The demand for labor steady, the profits
Of Industry fair. and the consequence is that
almost every one is in good spirits and has
money to spend for Christmas. Seldom
since the foundation of the city were the
shops on tie main theroughfares so crowded
and seldom have the retail dealers enjoyed
better holiday trade. Figures Of aggregate
sales by this and that dealer in holiday goods
are matters of popular gossip in the streets !;
but it is hardly worth while reproducing
them. 1t is enough to say that the faces of
the dealers are wreathed in smiles, and that
the streets are blocked with vans filled with
parcels which have an obvious holiday look.
Every household is going to be made happy
by some Offering from the stores Of the jew
eler. the dry-goods dealer or the authorized
agents of Santa Claus. The poor, the sick
and the orphan are all going to be genet
ously cared for. Every human being in San
Francisco no matter what his station or
previous condition of friendlessness, is going
10 have at least a chance of a good Christ
mas dinner aud a pleasant evening after
ward.
1t has not always been So The annals
of San Francisco contain the record of
many sad and cruel Christmas. There
was Christmas when soup kitchens doled
out meal to those who had no other food,
ana able bodied mechanics were indebted to
the liberality of rich men for job of shov-
cling dirt at dollar day. There was
another Christmas, ten years ago, when So
eiety was riven by class dissenSions growing
out of the scarcity of work, and the impossi-
bility of exploiting mines which had ceased
to pay. 1t was quiet enough last Christmas,
but eight weeks of ineessant rain had stopped
building and all avecations which are con-
Quoted in the open air. Workmen were liv-
ing on their savings. All classes were dis
pirited by the never-ending downpour, the
stores were empty and the sales of holiday
goods were so light that number Of fail
ureS occurred.
Let US thank heaven that this year there
is nothing to mar the enjoyment of the sea-

A DEMOCRAT OF DEMOCRATS.

Congressmar-elect johnson of Olio, one
of the speakers at the Tariff Reform ban.
quet announced himself as an avowed,
uncompromsing free-trader. singIe-tax
man, and, in fact, Democrat of Democrats.
From this aVowal one may fairly infer that
when all DISCUSSES are taken from men call
ing themselves Democrats. they will be
found free-traders and single-tax men. Mr..
Cleyeland's speech was much less TO the
point than Mr.. Johnson's. One does not
know exactly what Mr.. Cleveland is driving
at, but MIR. johnson leaves no enc in doubt
as to his final purpose. Mr. Cleveland de-
claimed against the use of expedients by a
party, but did not define his own position,
except in tha vague description Of tariff re-
form. Mr.. johnson Is much the more Salts
factUFy man to deal with of the two.

TARIFF REFoRM BANQUET.

The New York Tariff Reform Club repre-
sents the importing interest Cf that city. Its
annual banquet is made the occasion of
gathering of conspicuous free-traders. Ey-
President Cleveland is OF recent years given
a seat at the right hand of the toast master
and is given his choice of sentiments to
which lie will respond. On Tuesday even
: ing Mr.. Cleveland responded to tile toast,
"a Campaign of Education" The idea
that his second campaign was in some way
a campaign of education is fiattering to Mr.
Cleveland's vanity. He had opened the
campaign with his annual message in the
middle of his term and had admitted his re-
sponsibility for the defeat which overlook
the party in 1888. Being thus installed as
chief pedagague If the educational CAM
psign, it became Mr.. Cleveland's duty when
summoned before the Tariff Reform Club to
explain why the campaign had resulted dis
astrously to the party.
Following Mr.. Clevelsnd's line of thong hit
not at all times clearly expressed in words,
we find that the party failed to elect its
ticket because it persisted in conducting the
campaign on such high grounds. 1t was
deemed important, he said, to appeal to the
reason and JUDGMENT of the American peo-
pie. He admitted that the Demos attic party
sort to temporary expedients to carry cleo
items. The Republicans had set the example
and Democrats had not always had the res
ofution to keep principle strictly in view
when eXpediency promised success. The
campaign of 1888 was. according to the
staudard-be bearer, conducted on higher piane.
The party kept principle in view in the cam
paign of 1888. 1t kept clear of shifts
and expedients. 1t invited the voters to
an examination of the principles of
the party. Never" he saws, twas a
more intelligent, honest and effective eff lrt
made in noble cause than that made by
the Democratic party and its allies in the
work" 1t is true that this effort was
not successful The election came little
too soon after the seed was sown. The
reaper came before the crop was ripe. But
in 1890 the time for harvest had come Mr.
Cleveland adds that the party should not be
over confident. Our enemies" he says,
ARE still alive, and have grown desperate"
We presume the word enemies was a slip
of the tongue. Mr. Cleveland surely can
not regard the half of the American people
that do not accept his free-irade doctrine as
enemies. 1t doubtless pleases MI. CIeve-
land to imagine that he is conducting a cam
paign of education. The PRINCIPLES he ad-
vocates are. however, old as the hills. There
were free-traders in the country before Mr.
Cleveland was born, and doubtless will be
after his death. But such free-traders as
John c. Calhoun and Robert J. Walker had
local grounds for their position. The States
they Immediately represented were not
directly benefited by protective tariff
None Of their products were protected
while the policy of protection for time
added to the cost of the goods they pur-
chased. But Mr.. Cleveland accepts their
arguments without their excuse, and ap-
parentIy sup9oses himself the di5coverer OF
a new theory.

NINE TO THREE.

Mayor Ponds veto messages make no i'm
preston On the Solid Nine. A political
prediction has seldom been so wildly
realized as that made by the CALL when
Mayor Pond was making his second can
vass. We then said that Mr.. Pond was be-
ing used by Buckley to elect a Doodle Board
OF Supervisors Mr.. Pond is now, doubtless,
satisfied that The CALL was right. He has
endured the modification Of defeat in con-
sequence OF his alliance with Buckley, and
now endures the modification of seeing his
vetoes oyerruled by the men he had helped
to place in official position. OF the printing
contract Mayor Pond says: II am clearly of
the opinion that this contract stould not be
atcarded, as it is both illegal and contrary
to any decent public policy" But the nine
paid no attention to this protest.

President Harrison has issued a proclama-

1st OF May, 1888, and will-net be closed
until the last Thursday in October in the
same year. The formal announcement be-
ing HOW made, there is nothing to do bat TO
gn to work and make the exhibition worthy
of the country. There is no time now for
sectional or personal jeaIousies. If the fair
is the success we can make it the credit will
reflect upon all parts of the country. The
commercial advantage Of it will be TO show
to visitors both from abroad and at home
that our manufacturing industries have
reached degree of efficiency which war
rants a comparison with the product Of
