Hosr's Persistency.

The very general impression in Washing
ton Is that Senator H0ar cannot get ma
lority Of the Senate to vote for the force
bill 1t is understood that after the rspub-
hcan caucus at the house of Senator SAWYER
on Wednesday night he said that he was
about ready to admit that the bill was dead.
Although the strongest of tbs republican
opponents or the bill we're not present at the
caucus, the opposition to the bill was 80
marked that Senator Hoar did not dare to
ask .he adoption OF q resolution fixing day
for taking a vote upon il 1t is understood
that Senator Teller declared that the repub-
lican party could not do a wiser thing than
to drop the partisan legislation and turn its
attention to fading way to relieve the
country Of its financial troubles.
Another caucus has been called for next
Monday night. at which it will be definitely
determined whether or not the bill shall bs
abandoned or forced to a vote. The prnba-
bilities are that it will be decided to abandon
1t. good many of the republican senat )rs
are heartily tired of it, and they are of the
Cd MON that 1T has already done their party
great deal of arm
II Hoar were not such blind, bitter
partisan the bill would not have been takun
up at this session at all. Had he baen
capable of looking at the situation with
uDprejudiced eyes he would have seen that
public sentiment was against the bill, and
that comparatively few OF the republican
senator's regarded it with favor. He
thought, however, after the President had
declared SO emphatically for it, that by
using the parry lash he could force it
through the Senate. He is beginning 10
realize his mistake, and is becoming petu-
liant and cross in Anticipation OF his deteat.
Massachusetts should see to it that he is re-
tired to private life at the end OF his present
term.

Result of a School Whipping.

Twenty years or more ago, Mrs. john ".
Crowell, then Miss Grant. was the teacher of a
country school near Yellow Springs, Ohio
Among Ter pupils was an orphan boy, whom
"a principal armer of the district had found

The Pistol was Not Loaded.

He sat in the lobby OF one of our prominent
hotels. His hair was as white as snow, and
matted In thin and scraggy locks over a high
and creased forehead. Lines of sorrow marked

house DRAINAGE.

That was rather an amusing discussion
relative to house drainage in which the
city fathers engaged at their meeting last
Wednesday right One not familiar with
the history Of the house drainage agitation
in this city might have reasonably supposed
that the subject was a comparatively new
one to the city council As matter of
fact it has been discussed for years, and it
was hoped that the present council would
at least adopt house drainage system. 1t
has done nothing, however. toward giving
the city such system, except to get the
opinion of Sanitary Engineer Herring as
to what system would be most feasible
Doubtless Mr.. Herring was paid hand
some fee for that opinion.
But why has the council doue nothing in
this house drainage matter2 Does it think
nothing ought to be dones II it does, why
doesn't it say sol 1t ought TO let the public
know just where it stands Ii not only has
taken no steps toward inaugurating house
drainage system but 1t has done nothing
virtually toward getting rid Of the
vaults, which are 80 Tricky scattered over
some portions Of tho city. The pail
system has been talked about but it has not
been adopted, and there is vigorous kick
against the enforcement of the ordinance
which requires vaults within 300 feet of
sewer to be connected with the sewers. IL
has been long time since that ordinance
was adopted, and it seems that there are
still many violations of it, Its enforcement

The suggestion Is an excellent one, but.

In "A London letter, published few days
ago and written by one we'll acquainted with
the home life Of the Princess OF Wales, it
was stated that all Of tee daughters of the
prIa Gers were taught 10 cook and sew and TO
do whatever else is expected of capable
housewife. A portion Of their education
was received in the kitchen, where they
we're required to spend an hour each day
until they gained fir knowle lge # cook

Ia the North American RerieiU for
December there are four or five articles by
well-known women, in which is discussed
this question: "Shall our daughters have

about all OF them is that the best dowry
that wife can bring to her husband is
thorough knowledge of household duties
and willingness to perform them should

these duties, are the ones who make the best
wives and the happiest homes.

Kalekaua's Ndisslon.

What is the object Of King Kalakaua's
visit to this country Several answers to
that question have appeared in the public
prints. The most reas )nable one is that he
wants to sell his little kingdom, the Sand
wich Islands, to this country, and that he is
acting in the interest of tue American sugar
pl lnters, who own about all the best planta-
tions on the islands.
Ever since the reciprocity treaty between
this country and the Sandwich Islands these
planters have been growing rich at g rapid
rate. Their plantations are very productive,
and they have ma ke.ed their sugar in this
Country without paying any duty. They
got on an average about 2 ats pound
more for their sugar than the planters of
Cuba and other countries
Under the Mckinley tariff, however, sugar
will be admitted free af or April l. and
they will nave no advantage over the sugar
planters Of other countries They would
like, therefore, to have the Sandwich
islands annexed to this country. because
they would then ges the sugar bounty Of .
cents pound, which the Mckinley tariff
gives American prod lcers
TIE Sandwich Island planters produce
about 2j0, 100000 pounds Of sugar per an
mum, and annexation would, therefore.

Under tue circumstances, IL is hardly
probable that annexation VIII meet with
much favor. The Sandwich Islands are de-
sirable territory, but they are not WORTH
