THE LIAR.
Short Sunday Dissertation Upon
His Eccentricities and
Peculiarities.

For ages-yes, for all time past,
truth has been exacted. 1t has been
looked upon As the foundation of
everything Of Importance and OF
beauty.
Poetry and beauty rest upon the
congenial substance Of truth.
1t is solid and substantial. 1t never
fades.
George Washington as a truth.teller
in connection with the historic Ratchet
has been held up to the youth Of
several generations in association with
the cherry tree.
The cherry tree which George
hacked with his hatchet has long since
ceased to bear red fruit and gone back
to mother earth to enrich the soil and
make some shrub or plant to flourish
! But the legend lives as well as
young Washington's ambition to tell
the truth in the minds of the rising
generation.
We respect and revere the truth
and have endeavored to live as close
As possible to the maxim ''tell the
truth and shame the devil"
None are so well respected as he or
she who never varies from the truth.
They should wear a crown-they
do wear a CROWN that never furnishes
or fades.
But the liar.
He has place, such as it is, that is
hard to fill.
Who built the Union Pacific Rail-
road,
The liar gave it its first impetus and
then the government did the rest.
Who set afloat the greatest enter
prises of the age,
The liar.
The Georgetown turnpike and the
tide-water railroad have not been
built, because the liar did not ma
terialize to any great extent.
If the liar had got III his work
enough both of these enterprises
would have been on their feet.
Who originates vast investments,
erects your lightning rods, sells sewing
machines and patent churns,
The liar.
Who settled the wild and woody
west and made it possible for the
pioneer husbandman to have home?
The liar.
Who floats bonds, discounts the
paper and manoeuvres the initial
steps of corporations and consolida-
tons?
The liar.
Who originates boOms,
The liar.
Who is it that makes wildcat
mines successful and sets prize upon
human ingenuity.
The liar.
Who gets elected to office and
makes politics interesting?
The liar.
Who marries of her daughters the
earliest in life.
The liar.
Who gets the best girl and the
most winsome darling for wife in
the community,
The liar.
Who is it that extends the circula-
ton Of the village newspaper enor-
mously!
The colossal liar.
The liar has many guises-he
wishes to make your fortune and
again he wants to borrow a dollar.
But he is always pleasant, affable
and agreeable, whether engaged in
the soliciting Of millions in world
stirring plans, Or in attempting to
secure a free lunch. The truthful
man will affront you with rude candor
and hold up your faults brutally to
your notice. But the liar-he will
do nothing of tho sort. He will
make you comfortable and happy.
He will put you at peace with the
world and with destiny.
Whether he is in commerce, in
politics, or in the show business,
whether he is offering you position
or asking favor, let him be respected
in the future. and let hi, merits be
recognized.

From every city in which the several
varieties of rapid transit have succeeded
horse-cars. there now goes up a cry for
the adoption and application Of such devices
as will. at least. save the lives Of those peo-
pie who are unfortunate enough to collide
with cable and trolley cars. 1t is not neces-
sary to proceed to the extreme suggested by
a New Yorker-that a man be stationed on
a little platform in front Of each car
charged with the duty of rescuing the un-
wary ones-it would be sufficient were each
car fitted with a good fender. That speed is
demanded by the public is certain. but no
one wants speed without safety, and Of the
latter there can be no assurance so long as

tilate human arms and legs. One especially

Gov. Tillman of South Carolina has been
roundly condemned for his efforts in behalf
OF regulated liquor traffic, but that he has
done well is indicated by many evidences
and confirmed by news recently received
from North Carolina. A great meteor was
visible In the skies above both North and
South Carolina the other evening. but that
1t appeared differently to residents of the re-
spective states is certain. In the realm of
Tillman-where public intoxica:ion may not
legally be-the illumination of the heavens
was just meteor; larger than ordinary,
perhaps. but nevertheless only a meteor. In
North Carolina-where the jag dieth not and
the thirst ever maketh itself more thirsty

We profess so much of civilization and re-
ligion: but perhaps, after all. they may
serve a useful purpose. They may compel
people to recognize the hideous barbarity of
the present system of execution, and the
frightful abuses which are possible with the
crude machinery that exists for the work
We have no argument against capital pun
ishment, but We do insist that the scaffold
ought to be banished forever from this
state" Electrocution has worked smoothly
in New York and is far superior to the old
fashioned method still in vogue throughout
the rest of the country. Unless hanging
executions are managed by experts they are
frequently bungled. and even under the
most skillful control the choking procedure
has barbarous appearance. We are a rapid
people In many respects. but sluggishness
in legal reforms is national weakness.

Chairman Wilson's report from the Ways
and Means Committee is a thoughtful and
able production, such as would be expected
from the scholarly political economist who
wrote IL. The popular tendencies are, APP
parently, in the direction of tarif-reduc-
ton through the looping OF of some ugly
protection excrescences. and the emphasiz-
Ing Of the revenue rather than the protec-
tive feature in tariff legislation. So far as
the Wilson bill and report advance on these
lines they are apt to be in touch with pub
lie sentiment, no matter how disagreeable,
locally. some Of the changed schedules may
be. But there is at least one ground
Of general criticism Of the Wilson bill
touched upon in. the report which does
not seem to be satisfactorily met.
This Is the failure to supply sufficient
revenue A protective tariff with incidental
revenue. or a revenue tariff with incidental
protection, or an income tax without Gus
toms duties under a free trade system, will
supply the funds necessary to carry on the
government. The Star believes that the
people of the United States favor today the
raising of money for national purposes
through a revenue tariff, neither building
higher the protection wall, nor tearing 1t
down completely, with the necessary result
OF taxing incomes. Even when they have
been convinced that the tariff is a tax,
their desire, 1t Is thought, Is to cause this
indirect and generally unrecognized tax to
be more equitably imposed, rather than to
substitute for 1t a direct. inquisitorial tax
upon their incomes. which they will at once
recognize. feel and resent. The failure of
the Wilson bill to raise the necessary reve-
nue. tariff. compelling a direct tax upon the
small duties on the proper objects of reve-
nue. tariff, compelling direct tax upon the
people for national purposes. causes the
measure to partake of the characteristics
both Of revenue-tarin and a free-trade
proposal, and to meet the hostility, not only
Of certain protected industries from which
protection is to be withdrawn, but Of the
great body of citizens who prefer indirect
to direct taxation for national purposes,
have no liking for absolute free-trade and
will. in thousands of instances resent by
their votes the annoyances and inequities
of an income tax as 1t is collected in prac-
uce in distinction from theory.

The Star said yesterday that ex-queen
Lih's refusal to be restored In the manner
proposed by the administration gave the lat
ter an excellent opportunity to wash its
hands OF the whole disaCreeable business
Apparently the latter il about to avail itself
OF this opportunity. Mr.. Charles Nordhof
writes to the New York Herald: II think
the queens refusal Of Mr.. Cleveland's con-
ditlons changes the aspect of affairs. We
have no further business to interfere in
Hawaii" The Herald indorses this view
and to give 1t additional weight points out
that Mr.. Nordhofr is, on the Hawaiian
question. virtually the administration, for
when Mr.. Blount reported, he simply re-
affrmed the revelations previously made to
the world by Mr.. NordhoTs dispatches in
the Herald" In the original policy, it ap-
pears, Cleveland echoed Gresham, Gresham
echoed Blount, Blount echoed Nordhofr
and Nordhon, 1t is believed by many,
echoed Spreckels. 1t is right and proper
therefore that the signal for abandoning
the policy thus formed should be given by
spreckels and Northor. The note of sur
render has been sounded by the latter and
echoes from the rest of the administration
are expected to follow as a matter of
course. The administrators Hawaiian
policy was, like all GauI, divided into three
parts. First, that great wrong had been
done: second, that 1t could be and ought to
be undone through a queen-restoring by the
republic; third. that for the purposes of this
wrong-remedying restoration the President
II the republic. The administration had
numerous supporters in it's party for the
nrst declaration Of its policy. suffered a
wholesale desertion when queen-restor,
ing was inscribed on it's banner and was
left almost entirely without support when it
indicated that the President could dispense
with the advice and consent of Congress in
the work Of restoration. Now that the logi-
cal results OF the policy are repudiated by
the man who is admitted to be responsible
for the policy, the people of Hawaii and Of
the United States may congratulate them
selves and the world that the policy is dead.
