No MAN does anything we'll who does
not feel the unknown surrounding and
pressing upon the known, and who is
not therefore aware all the time that
what he does has deeper sources and
more distant issues than he can COM
prehend. It is not only a pleasing SEN
timent, it is a necessary element of
power this reverence which wells it's
eyes before something which it may not
know. Irreverence everywhere is
blindness and not sight. 1t is the stare
which is bold because it believes in its
heart that there is nothing which its
'insolent intelligence may not fathom,
and SO which finds only what it looks
for, and makes the world as shallow as
lit ignorantly dreams the world to be-

Plantation Labor.

The S. f. Bulletin of March 7th
says:
1.-The Hawaiian Charge d'Affaires
to the Court of st. james is author
ity for the statement that the plant
ers of Hawaii are considering the
importation of coolie labor from
India. The law now shuts out the
Chinese and the experiment with the
Japanese seems to be virtually at an
end. The Scandinavians who went
there under contract found the eli
mate and conditions unfavorable.
The Portuguese were rather more in
their element, but contract labor on
plantations holds out little induce
ment to any white people. Labor
hunting among the islands of the
South Pacific has fallen into dis
repute as little better than piracy or
slave-trading. The East Indian
coolie is perhaps the least objection
able of Asiatics. and he is, at least,
of Aryan stock, with some capability
of assimilation. Why has it never
occurred to some Of our colored peo-
pie to try Hawaii? The climate
and work would be just to their
liking"

A Finely Presented Opera.-4
Merited Success to Be Re
peated This Evening.
The curtain arose a little late
upon the opera Rigoletto Wednes-
day evening, owing to the audience
being tardy in gathering. Not SO
large an audience was present as
should have greeted the presentation
of Rigoletto for the production was
we'll given. The outline of the plot
as given in the programme was a
little misleading at first, but was
soon made clear by their acting.
Gilda, daughter of Rigoletto, has
if possible outdone her efforts
on previous occasions, her voice ring
ing sweetly and clearly, especially
and the Duke. The latter, Mr.. Stan
TIM, sang more clearly than on Sat
urday evening, proving himself an
irresistible wooer of RIgoletto's
daughter, Gilda, unknown to her
father. The carrying off of Gilda
was not perhaps as realistic as it
might have been, but the sorrow,
even madness, of Rigoletto, when he
realized that it was his daughter and
not Ceprano's wife he had helped the
Dukes followers to steal, was touch
ingly acted. None the less affecting
was the restoration of Gilda to her
father; the singing during this scene
can hardly be improved. Rigoletto,
enraged at the deceit practiced upon
him, with hardly friend, sought
revenge, which in the last act re-
suited so sadly for him. His voice
and acting fully portrayed his per-
haps justly revengeful spirit. Gilda,
Madalina, the Duke and Sparafucele
did their utmost to merit the ap-
plause SO enthusiastically given, and
we'll. did they deserve it. The opera
will be reproduced this evening.

EDMUNDs LAW In NEW MEXICO.

From Las Cruces, New Mexico. comes
the news that in the term of the United
States court just closed six women and FIVE
men, all Mexicans, were convicted of nm
lawful cohabitation under the EpMrNns
law and sentenced to terms ranging from
SIX months to one year, or fined. The con-
vlctlons, 1t is said, were the results of a
vigorous campaign instituted year ago br
the United States district attorney in all
the courts of the territory, for the purpose
OF purging New Mexico of the stigma of
adultery which, it is claimed, has been ey-
tremely prevalent ever since the admission
OF the territory into the United States
Inc native population, in hundreds of cases
before this time, dispensed with the mar
rage ceremony, and the wealthy ones
among the men in many instances sunnorted
several wives. Since the EDMUNps law is
on the statute books of the countrv
and the officers of the law are under
obligations to see that the laws are faith.
July executed, this vigorous enforcement.
OF the act among the half-ciyilized Mavi
cans OF our sister territory is doubtless all
right. Still, one cannot help wondering
now 1t Is that the zeal of United States
marshals, prosecuting attorneys and courts
manifested in this matter in Utah and NerU
mexico does not seize hold of like officials
