It goes without saying that themost inter

is man himself Here we have object
lessons not only in the man Of the present

signify studies which are not only interesl,
ing but fascinating. When it was decide
to have in the Worlds fair department
devoted to this purpose the professor nat
urally wanted it called by its proper sclen'
tific title. The exposition managers, how
ever, said the words ''ethnology, " ''ant1ro

not some popular title that would do jus.

FROM THE ISLANDS.

The most significant paragraph in the
news from the islands is the reply of Min
lister Willis to President Doe's inquiry as
to the intention of the United States in re-
latlon TO the recommendations contain ed
in Secretary Gresbam's letter. To this
very natural and pertinent question Min
lister Willis replied in diI lomatic language
that the intentions of the United States
did-not concern President Dole. The facts
are these: Secretary Gresham had recon-
mended the restoration of the dethroned
Queen as an act of justice. President Dole
wanted TO know if this recommendation
was likely to be followed, and was in
formed that it was none IF President
DOle's business whether it were followed
out or not. As the enforcement of Secre-
tary Gresham's recommendations would
dissolve the Government of which Presi-
dent Dole is the head IL would seem to the
non-diplomatic mind that the intentions
OF the United States Government did con-
Germ President Dole. II may be urged in
defense of Minister Willis reply that that
official is in an unpleasant fix. He is repre-
senting a man of whose purposes be
knows nothing. While President Dole's
inquiry was pertinent there was no man
Cleveland himself did not know what he
proposed to do. He may have known what
he desired to do. but since Congress met in
December he has discovered that be IS not

THE POOR TAXPAYERS.

The Fresno ETpositor says the salaries
of officials and attendants necessary for
conducting the insane asylum at San Ber-
nardino amount to over $4,000 a month.
The number of patients at present is 40.
The salaries of officials and attendants are,
Of course. but one item in the cost Of the
asylum. Geographical considerations seem
To have governed the location of insane
asy!ums ana other State institutions. In
place of one asylum at Stockton large
enough to accommodate all applicants. four
others have been erected in differe mt coun-
ties, on the principle of making an even
division OF the patronage. The taxpayers
have not been much thought of. The E1-
poSit0r well remarks:
Tie heavy burthen of taxation that the ex-
travagance In the management of the States
various Institutions entails Is crushing the life
out OF the farmers, merchants and the property
owners generally.

GOODWIN SMITH ON WOMEN.

In the republication of his Essay on
Female Suffrage" Mr.. Goodwin Smith takes
up branch of the woman question which
has thus far commanded L. o little atten-
,tion. Referring TO the admission of women
to avenues of employment which were for
merly closed 10 them be applauds, as all
right-minded men must, a reform which
enables members of the sex to make them
selves independent and to emancipate
themselves from the degrading necessity
of marrying for home or for bread. But,
in entering into breadwinnng calliugs, the
woman must remember that in going In
one direction she will lose in another.
Mrs. Cyrus Field and other ladies who
have engaged in business in New I ork
were accorded exceptional Difference and
favor so long as they were mere ladies in
society. When they became shopkeepers
they placed themselves on the same level
as their male rivals and renOunced all pre-
tension TO exceptional privileges. tits not
to be assumed that they harbor such pre-
tensions. But it is well that those who
propose 10 follow their example should re-
member that they would not be listened to
il they did. Ladies can choose between
privilege and equality. They cannot have
both.
Mr.. John Stuart: Milps work on the
"Subjectiop of Women" served useful
purpose in arousing society to the injustice
of the laws toward women. Almost all the
statutory provisions which protect women's
right to their earnings. and which secure
them relief against domestic tyranny, may
he traced to the influence of that work.
But many now believe that the gifted Eng
lishman went further than due regard
for society can excuse in advocating an
equal division of family and household
authority. They claim that there must be
a head to every family and for various
reasons that head must be the husband !;
that it cannot be the wife. nor, as Mill
suggested. can authority be equally
divided between the two. for that would be
anarchy.
Perhaps these philosophers are magnify
ing the difficulties of the subject. In
most families, as in other relations of
life. character determines headshlp. II
did so before woman was secured in her
present measure of legal rights. 1t will do
SO perhaps more fully under present con-
dtions. There is great deal of co-oIdina-
ton of powers and duties In family life.
The extension of woman's right largely
TO live her own life, attend to her own
business and enjoy a great measure of
civil equality is not likely to disrupt that
coordination or TO produce anarchy in the

ard Oil trust John w. Rockefeller is a
man of extraordinary organizing ability.
He planned and executed so well that all
the lame ducks in his line of business gave
up the ghost They could not stand against
the combination of brains and capital. If
he had been a man upon whom human suf-
fering had any effect his management
would have been less masterful. But there
is no record of his having faltered 10 his
purpose because of the ruin he saw in his
wake. If sufficiently large number of
the lame ducks" that are now trying to
make two ends meet in the manufacturing
industries can be welded out, the large
concerns will pursue the even tenor of
their way undisturbed by the protests of
workingmen.

THE RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENsE.

The interior press is pretty nearly unan-
imous in condemning the verdict which
finds Chris Evans guilty of murder and
fixes the PENALTY at imprison ment for life.
The Record Union attributes the verdict
to the unwilibgness of this particular jury
10 apply the law of capital punishment.
The defense urged that Evans was defend
ing his life, and consequently should be
removed from the class of man-slayers
who seek their victims. Evans, it was
contended, would not have killed the man
for whose murder he was tried If hat man
had kept out of his way.
A little examination into the workings
of this theory of the right Of seif-defense
will show that its application would place
offenders against law, so far as danger to
life is concerned, upon the same plane
with officials to whom the task Of appre-
hending criminal had been assigned. 1t
would in effect be giving outlaws the
rights of beligerents. Let us suppose a
man pursued on suspicion Of having COM
mitted the crime of highway robbery. Is
II just or right or consistent with proper
care for the safety OF law-abiding citizens
that the pursuer aud the pursued should
possess equal rights of self-defensep May
a criminal seeking to escape the penalty of
his crime 90 to the extent of taking human
life? II not the killing. though In self
defense, is as much an act of murder as if
the slayer had sought out his victim.
There cannot be any percentage of guilt
in this matter. If the pursued criminal
possessed the ordinary right of self
defense the necessity of killing man was
rather misfortune than a crime. IL be
