FOR SALE Or TO BE LET.

The former Queen of Hawaii cannot
be accused of an entire lack of that
thrift which is said to be wanting in
those who were born to crowns. thrones
and such. FOreseeinR that she may not
be restored to her little kingdom, she
has proposed to sell it to the United
States. She does not make the price,
but Judging from the great number of
words she uses in making the proposal,
she has set high value upon it. This is
another indication of thrift. Thrones
are rather out of style, but the possess
or OF one at the present time has a val
liable piece of antiquated furniture
which, as curiosity. might command
large sum of money. But why does the
ex-Queen offer il to the United States7

auently disclosed those traits which be-
tit kings, but the throne of Hawaii
would be altogether too small for him.
The man who tips the scale at 302
pounds could not safely intrust himself
to throne that has been good deal
battered in the past. But as we are not
in the king business except when some
more or less distant representative of
a throne visits us. it is feared that the
ex-Queen has brought her worm eaten
piece of furniture to an indifferent mar
ket. She had better have offered it to
the highest bidder. There are many
people in this country who can afford to
buy q throne, and who have the incomes
which would enable them to keep one
up in good style. While the Spanish
princess was here we developed good
deal of that devotion which in years
gone was lavished upon the occupants
of thrones. Those people who are dis
gusted with popular government might
buy in the Hawaii throne which the ex
Queen offers and set up the kingdom of
shoddydom with an effuigence that
would dazzle the effete aristOcracies of
the old world. Even if none Of these
people cared to embark for life in the
throne business, no doubt the ex-Q Queen
would let that reminder of earthly
power and glory for an annual rental in

would have distinguished him apart
from his wealth, it il as a millionaire
that he was chiefly known and as such
that he will be remembered, To become
through his own efforts the owner of
such vast riches, in itself proves a man
to be possessed of force of character and
intellectual ability. Too frequently all
this force and mental energy are absorbed
in the work of money getting, and
the man is lost in the millionaire;
his finer qualities are smothered or fail
to develop and be learns by experience
nothing of the higher and better uses
of wealth. With Mr.. Stanford the case
was different. He seems to have re-
tanned throughout his life much of the
simplicity and kindness of feeling
which belonged to him in his early days
of poverty. Few, if any, of the great
millionaires of this country have shown
so much sympathy with all classes of
people or have manifested their interest
in such practical ways. Stories of his
kindliness and open hearted generosity
are innumerable. The greatest gift of
all is the university built and endowed
in honor of his son of which all the
world knows; but he gave a vast amount
to charities, public and private, of which
there is no such open record. He seldom
turned away petitioner for his bounty
when satisfied that the cause was wor-
thy and often gave more freely than he
was asked. He was faithful steward
of that which was given him, and his
memory will live long in the hearts of
the recipients Of his bounty. No man,
rich or poor, could ask a better reward
than this.

BISHOP MERRILL, of the Nj. +. Church.
declares that it will withdraw it's entire
exhibit from the worlds fair because of
Sunday opening. and that the commits
sion of which he is a member will issue
a boycot proclamation to the five mill
lion Methodists whom il represents,
''layipR it on their consciences" not to
visit the fair at all. This would be a
very foolish thing to do. Besides
showing az intolerant temper. it would
largely fail of effect, for there are a
great many Methodists who would re-
sent such an attempt at dictation. A
wiser thing would be TO detail some of
the best preachers in the church to avail
themselves of the arrangements which
the managers of the fair are making to
have religious services on the grounds
every Sunday and TO assist at the serv-
ices. So far as the removal of exhibits
is concerned, il is said the fair authori-
ties will not permit it.

representative OF a nation capable OF great
achievements in war pleads for peace the

ing at the map one would conclude that
three-fourths of the House would vote for
repeal, but more mature consideration
will show that the map Is not CORE ct.
Take Indiana; not more than two Dem
ocratic Representatives have declared
for repeal in the columns of the Times,
while four have given evasive answers,
yet the map makes them all for repeal.
In other ways the Times's summary is
deceptive. Many members have de-
clared for repeal with some condition.
For instance, if the abolition of the tax on
State bank circulation is clause of the
bill repeating the Sherman law. Repub-
licans will vote against it solidly.

AN ALABAMA PHILOSOPHER.

If the Birmingham, Ala, Herald tells
the truth, there is at least one true
philosopher IN the United States. There
may be more, but they have not given
tho same evidence of the fact that this
one has, He is Judge Mobley, of Greene
county, Alabama. 1t seems that in the
distribution of official spOils at Wash
fell to the lot of Congressman Bank
head, of Alabama, to dispense, and he
at once telegraphed to his friend, Judge
Mobley, to come to Washington and
take possession of 1t. There are very
few American citizens who can resist q
summons to come to Washington and
take an Office, and Judge Mobley ia not
quite so much of philosopher as that.
His first impulse was to accept. Any
how he had never visited the national
capital; he wanted little trip and he
would go to Washington and look over
the ground. He did so, and received
many delightful impressions. first
sight of the architectural and scenic
beauties of Washington is calculated to
have a very pleasing effect on per-
son of even ordinary appreciation. and
Judge Mobley was not an exception.
He visited the department building
where his office was located and the
room itself, finding it light. airy and
attractive. He asked and obtained in
formation in regard to the duties of the
Office and satisfied himself that he was
fully equal to them. After dark he
walked about and took in some more of
the architectural beauties of Washington
by moonlight. AS at honest man he
was forced to admit that there was
nothing at all comparable to it in Ala
bama. At one point in his walk he
passed the department building he had
visited during the day and was able to
locate the very room where his official
chair was awaiting him. Finally he
reached his hotel, went TO his room and
thought. Just what he thought is not
known, but the sum of his cogitations
appeared in a note which he then and
there addressed to Representative
Bankhead, as follows:
Dear John-You know that | appreciate
your kindness and work In my behalf. but
1 feel bound to decline the office you have
secured for me. even ct the risk OF losing
my standing as An American citizen.

and like To live there.
3. have been elected president of the
Greene County Fishing Club, and il is time
to assume the duties of my office.
Your friend always. MoBLEY.
The glittering attractions of Wash
ington with an official plum and a
cushioned chair thrown in were put into
the scale against the honest living. the
simple pleasures and the sturdy indie
pendence of his Alabama home and the
office kicked the beam. He would rather
be his own boss and president of the
Greene County Fishing Club with the
right to go fishing whenever he pleased
than sacrifice his individuality and in
dependence by becoming a part of the
great governmental machine at Wash.

ley, of Greene county, Alabama. May

HERE it is again. A Washington
special TO the New York World says that
"Secretary Gresham has inaugurated q
more thorough policy in the direction
of the consular service. which, it is be-
lieved. will be of far-reaching practical
benefit to the commercial interests of
the United States" The alleged new
departure is to require consuls, in addi-
tion TO their regular duties, to act as
commercial agents TO increase our for
eign trade, investigating and reporting
in regard TO foreign manufactures. etc.
As consuls have been doing this for the
last twenty years it is pretty cheeky"
for friends of the present administra-
ton to claim it as reform.
