domestic servant labors. The results Of
her study seem to be that the main him
drance to an ample supply of servants
lies in the obstacles which are put in the
way OF n rise in social station. And she
has been Brought to think that The linn
itations as to going out, receiving com
pany and devoting her leisure to her
wi purposes are the real causes of the
unattractiveness of domestic service in
the eyes of American women.
On the other hand, there are numer-
Gus writer's who declaim about the
slavery of the housewife. Instead of
seeing anything like oppression of the
servant they can find nothing in her
situation that justifies complaint. If
any one Is entitled to complain, it is the
mistress of the mansion. So one woman
who subscribes herself as IAN oft dis.
tressed housewife" insists that things
will go from bad to worse until legisla-
ton is appealed to. She thinks the So
luton lies in the strict enforcement of
the law which imposes penalties for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.

resent hat they have the requisite
skill when in fact they fail to employ it.
Why not, then, she asks, compel cooks
or houscmaids to choose their profession
because of aptitude or taste for them?
Why not fine people who undertake to
cook or sweep without knowing how?
There is certainly something amiss
when the discussion OF this subject
draws out expres sions so opposed to one
another as these. 1t is evident that we
are not yet able to judge whether it is
the housewife or the servant who is
abused, and the view which is taken is
apt to vary with the position of the
critic. No solution to the problem can
be expected until some effort is made to
reconcile the many divergent opinions.

"A CoMMENDABLE work has been
undertaken by the Grand Army of the
Republic in planning the erection OF a
monument in Washington, national in
character, to the rank and file of the
union army and navy. There are
memorials, some of them imposing and
costly, in many cities of the country in
n OF the heroes who fought on land
and sea for the preservation of the union,
but these are almost without exception
intended to commemorate the patriotism
and loyalty of the men who vent forth
from these localities. Moreover, they
make no distinction between the rank
and file and the officers. While monu-
ments to commanding officers are com
mon, a lifting memorial of the private
soldiers and common sailors-the men
without whose courage and fidelity the
genius OF the commanders would have
beer futile-has yet to be provided.
This the Grand Army proposes to pro-
i and it is to be hoped that it will
push the project vigorously. There can
be no doubt that whatever support may
be asked or desired from the general
public will be cordially given, for the
masses of our people duly honor the
heroism of those who fought in the
ranks and fully appreciate their claim
to the popular homage. Such a monu-
ment would serve better thar any other
to remind the coming generations that
the American republic was saved from
disruption by the %unbought and willing
sacrifices and the lofty heroism of the
rank and file, representing the common
people, the masses of the country's pop
ulation.

BECAUSE The BEE has expires

BECAUSE The BEE has expressed the

clares that The BEE is opposed to the
proposition ito vote bonds for a hospi-
tai for the helpless in order to help out
several corporations that want to ask
subsidies for enterprises that promise to
benefit Omaha" Nothing is farther
from the truth. The only reason THE

THE PULPIT AND POLITICS

There is an idea widely current
that ministers of the gospel should
abstain from comment on political
questions, and indeed on all ques-
tions which actively occupy and
divide a community, and confne
their attention solely to abstract
moral principles, and precepts
which do not admit of an imme-
diate application. Is this idea a
sound one ?
We believe it to be not only
unsound but dangerous, and if
ministers were to follow it, they
would lose both the influence
and the esteem which they now
possess. Preaching which does not
touch conduct, which does not bear
upon the actual issues of the day,
which does not affect mems esti-
mate of the duties Immediately to
be discharged, can do little good,
and the less of it that is heard the
better.
1t is not contended that it is
proper to discuss all kinds of
questions from the pulpit There
are political issues which are in
their nature purely secular. They
are questions of administrative
detail, of military organization, of
diplomacy, of general expediency.
Then there are questions which
are purely personal, as ofthe merits
of candidate, or the trustworthi-
ness of a party. Such questions are
not, of course, proper subjects for
discussion at a gathering for reli-
gious purposes, any more than mat
ters would be which might happen
to divide the world of literature or
art.

CROWN LANDS.

The question of the title of the
Crown Lands will undoubtedly be
considered in connection with Ha-
waii entering the American Union.
The original ownership Of these
lands was in the Kamehamehas.
The third of that line made over
to the government and people a
long list of lands which have since
been sold or awarded and patented
to private claimants. In making
this transfer, which was in 1S4S,
the King declared that he kept the
rest of his lands as his private
lands" ito have and to hold to
himself, his heirs and successors
forever" 1t is these lands which
have since been treated as the
Crown Lands or Royal Domain.
The line of successors" having
failed, is the title now in the
''heirs," or is it public Government
land? We believe the latter view
to be the only sound one.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The Nicaragua Canal Bill has
been favorably reported by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations. 1t follows in the main
the lines of the measure re-
ported at the last Congress. There
are, however, some emendations.
There is a change in the date of
the maturity of the bonds so as to
make them mature in 1858, and
make them redeemable at the
pleasure of the United States after
1903. The provision requiring the
company to execute a mortgage to
the United States as security for
its guarantee of the bonds is
amended so as to require the mort
gage to contain a provision for a
sinking fund for the payment of
the bonds at maturity and it is
further provided that if the COM
pany default in the payment of in
terest, or in other respects before
the canal is put in operation, the
right Of foreclosure shall at once
attach in favor of the United
States.

The Russian Army.

Russia is rapidly increasing her
army. The conscription for the
present year resulted in the pro-
duction of 904, ,566 men of the re-
quisite age and qualifications, be-
sides S9,692 who had been left in
from former years, making a total
of 994,25S. OF these 262, 400 were
actually enlisted under the colors,
and the rest were inscribed on the
reserve. Out of the total were
1869 Christians, 51,24S Jews,
30,392 Mussulmans, and 1916
Pagans. The Standard correspond
ent at st. Petersburg says that the
number of recruits goes on increas-
ing with the natural increase of
the population at an astonishing
rate, and nothing but the want of
money prevents Russia from adding
a million to her army of able
bodied soldiers every year. Even
the Jewish contingent alone of over
50,000per annum would soon make
a very respectable force.

Mr.. GLADSTONE AND TIE CITY OF
LIVERPOOL.

A late issue of the Liverpool
Mercury contains an account of
the presentation of the freedom of
the city to the Right Honorable
Wm. E. Gladstone, who is native
of that place. A full report of Mr..
Gladstone's speech on the occasion
is given, and it furnishes, in the
clear and sonorous English Of
which Mr.. Gladstone is still mas
ter, an interesting sketch of the
city of Liverpools growth from the
time when, under Queen Eliza
beth, its 13S householders petit
toned Parliament to restore its
prosperity, to the present day when
it counts nearly as many inhabi-
tants as Chicago.
The freedom of city like Liver
pool is not an honor lightly con-
ferred, but it is one which should
have come to Mr.. Gladstone long
ago. Liverpool has certainly
no citizen of whom she has so
much reason to be proud as of this
son, the foremost statesman of the
English-speaking world.

theft, but he would probably prefer
that it should be accompanied by
at least the formality of an ac-

THOSE oBsrREPEROUs BAND BOYS.

The only evil consequence of the
late revolution thus far noted is the
dissolution it has worked in the
Hawaiian Band. In a fever of
misguided patriotism, stimulated
by disgust at the late reduction in
pay the boys have refused to take
the oath OF allegiance to the Pro-
visional Government and the band
as a consequence is no more.
The trouble with the band boys
is that they are suffering from a
very common ailment, metaphor
cally known as ''big head This
affection is the real source Of their
patriotism. They have been pat
ted on the back so often that they
have come to believe themselves
the most indispensable wheel in
the state coach. A little expert
ence will convince them that they
were only a very ornamental fifth,
that there are other and better
musicians in existence, and that
the world can wag en- very well
without them. The end will be
that they will come back repent
ant, like Bo Peeps sheep, and will
be restored to grace, sadder, wiser
and more modest than before. If
this be the consummation, the epi-
sode will have proved a blessing
in disguise, one more benefcent
consequence of the late overturn-
ing.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-02-07

The band episode, however. has
a serious side. The boys would
not persist in their foolish course
if they were not encouraged to do
so by men, white or otherwise, who
are holding out to them specious
prospects Of support. 1t is very
certain that the band will not be
maintained by private subscription,
and the men who are deluding
them with any such hope are their
enemies in the guise of their friends.
Which particular impecunius sup
porter or supporters of the late re-
gime is engaged in this nefarious
business we do not know; but who
ever they are. they are simply rob-
bing the band-boys Of the means of
earning a comfortable and honest
living. AS to Mr.. Berger's part in
the matter, he has simply followed
his instructions. Everybody knows,
and the band-boys know well
enough, that he is their best friend.
