Come, listen all unto my song;
Is is no silly fable:

II have pretty notion.
That can run telegraph

Then all the people laughed and said
The'd like to sce him do it;
he might get lialf-seas over. but
He never could go through it.
To carry out his foolish plan
he never would lie abe;
He might as well go hang himself
With his Atlantic cable.
But Cyrus was valiant man,
A fellow Of decision
And needed not their hooking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his brasest efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stable;
He wasn't the man to break his heart
Because lie broke his cable.

Honey. 10 we want Tie sand
wich Islands

Exciting debates have been
going on for several days in TIE
Congress Of the United States
concerning the annexation Of
some very fertile islands in the
Pacific ocean. Therefore the
jealousy existing between other
nations Of Europe, especially
England and France has made it
impossible for any of these
foreign powers to lay hold on the
islands. The United States,
however, occupies an independ-
ent position and can do as she
pleases in the matter.
There are thirteen Hawaiian or
Sandwich islands. and eight Of
them are inhabited. The only
one spoken of in this country is
the largest-Hawaii. The whole
business of the island centers at
the capital. Honolulu, which is
2,10o miles and SIX days
sail from San francisco.
The Hawaiian islands are like
a poets dream in wealth and
beauty. Edwin Arnold has call
ed them paradise, and nearly
every other writer who has been
there has said the same thing.
They have made thousands of
people rich and thousands of
others happy.
When Capt. Cook visited the
islands in 1873 he estimated their
population to be 100000. This
is thought to be 100000 or 2oo,-
600 too many. With proper cul.
tivation. it is safe to say that the
eight inhabited islands will sup
port 4, 100000 people.
On small scale honolulu could
compete with imperial Rome her.
self for distinction in the matter
OF motley population. Represen
tatives from every nation under
the sun are gathered there. The
native race of the Hawaii, which
is certainly superior to any other
native race of the Pacific islands
is rapidly decreasing. Liquor
and the low state of social NOR
atty explain this decrease.
AREA OF THE INHABITED is.
LANDS.
The total area of.the inhabited
islands of the Hawaiian group Isl
6,64o square miles. The area of
Hawaii the largest lis ,2l0
square miles. The capital city
has population of 20, 4s7. The
natives of the islands are closely
related in blood to the Maoris Of
New Zealand. The islands are
to a great extent mountainous
and volcanic, but the soil. as has
been intimated, is very fertile.
Besides sugar and rice, the staple
products. coffee, hides, bananas
and wool are raised and exported.
The chief imports of Hawaii are
groceries and provisions, cloth.
lug, grain, timber, machinery,
hardware and cotton goods.

The sympathy of the genuine Ameri-
can public must be on the side of the
walters who are fighting for the right to
wear mustaches if they so desire. An
other grievance they complain of will
appeal still more strongly to the public.
It is that they are paid low wages by
their employers in the expectation that
they will depend on the fee system to get
a respectable living. The public will
note that it is walters themselves who
desire to stamp out the fee system and
sympathize accordingly.
The colored porter on the sleeping cars
expects regularly tip. The negro slave
always expected tip, and to this day in
numerous hotels where negro servants
are employed the departing guest must
run the gauntlet between two lines of
menials who expect him to drop more or
less silver into their palms as he passes.
Tt is slavish custom and one against
which any self respecting white man may
well rebel with all his soul. A person can
never respect as a man and brother the
individual to whom he filings a dime or a
half dollar as he would bone to dog.
Certainly, then, if walters want to be re-
spected, one Of the first steps to this end
will be to abolish of their own accord the
feeling system.
Ridiculous, pitiable in its contempt
ibleness is the edict that walters must be
clean shaven. 1t is plain without argu-
ment that every table waiter, if he is a
man, should have close clipped hair, and
if she is a woman should either have
short hair or wear natty little cap. But
the mustache? When those who have
started the crusade against it have been
asked why the order went forth that
walters must be clean shaver, there
seemed to be no answer except that no
body ever saw in Berlin waiter with a
mustache.
This is kin to that other notion which
in some quarters requires coachmen to
be clean shaven, to the actual danger of
injury to their health by exposure in in
clement weather while they wait on their
boxes sometimes hours at time. Their
employers, whose slaves they are, choose
to wear mustache or beard; therefore
the coachman must not. Down with
this un-American foolishness and snob-
berry!
