Hawaiian language has no word
which signifies weather.
One who has resided some months
at Honolulu has described the climate
as being combination Of all that is
best IN the climates Of Florida, vest
ern Kansas and southern California
without any Of the disagreeable fac
tors found in these states.
In fertility of soil the Hawaiian
kingdom is unsurpassed.
Substantially all the sugar raised
in the United States is raised in the
state OF Louisiana, where it is consid-
cred a remarkably profitable crop.
But in Hawai- one acre Of ground
will produce more sugar than three
acres in Louisiana.
Equal success has been attained in
the production Of tropical fruits and
in the raising Of fine stock.
1t is claimed that the export trade
of Hawaii, her size and population
being taken into consideration, is I'M
paralleled on the face of the earth.
Again the Importance Of their stu
alton can scarcely be over-estimated.
Honolulu and Pearl City have ex-
cellent harbors which could at small
expense be made impregnable.
Being the only coalng station In
the Pacific, her commercial import
ance can hardly be over-rated.
AS to the governmental preferences
OF the Hawaians, the late queen and
her followers are without doubt op-
posed to annexation. But Hawaii
has been the scene Of q revolution,
the queen has been dethroned and a
new government established. So far
as can be seen the new government is
vastly superior to the old. II has
sufficient strength to maintain itself
and is rapidly winning the affections
of the people.
1t is this new government that
seeks annexation.
1t is fair to presume that 1t repre-
sents popular sentiment.
England, Germany and Japan are
all seeking to gain a foothold in these
islands, but the United States cannot
afford to permit any foreign nation to
take possession.
The hope of the present is to see
all America brought under q republic
can form OF government. This hope
is In some degree being realized. In
Brazil the empire has given way to
the republic, in other countries the
work Of revolution goes forward, and
in Canada the annexationists are
daily growing in number and power.
The old world is the home Of mon
archy, the new world ought forever
to be the home of free government,
having no king, and acknowledging
no sovereignty but the sovereignty Of
free enlightened citizenship.
The continent Of America with all
the adjacent islands ought to be un-
der the control of our American re-
publics. This is necessary to the
perpetuity Of our free institutions,
our civil and religious liberty.
The time is ripe for annexation.
The great nations Of Europe hsYe
their attention directed elsewhere.
Each has it's own internal dissentlons.
Great Britain is occupied with the

ment 1893.
Near the middle Of the Pacific
ocean, at about 100 degrees west
longitude, and just south Of the
Tropic of Cancer, is situated small
group Of islands, which compose the
kingdom of Hawaii.
These islands contain only 6,400
square miles Of territory, and have
only about $4,000 population, and yet
within the last few months they have
attracted the attention Of nearly the
whole world.
In the United States special inter
est has been aroused from the fact
that after the dethronement of the
queen, Lillnokaloni, and the estab.
lshment of provisional government,
commissioners have been sent to this
country with formal proposition for
the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States.
Annexation has been opposed in
some quarters because it is thought
unwise to extend the large territory
OF the United States, or because the
islands themselves will be of no con.
siderable value to our country, or be.
cause the people of Hawaii DO not de-
sire annexation.
AS to the first Of these objections 1t
is simple the reiteration of an old
prejudice.
When Alaska was purchased, Score
tary Seward was the subject of SO.
we're criticism because of the folly o.
annexing new territory, in general
and because in particular the terri.
tory of Alaska would be worthless tc
the United States.
But time has demonstrated the wis
dom Of Mr.. Stewards policy.
From commercial standpoint
Alaska was valuable acquisition.
Three-ffths Of all the fur seals
caught in the world are taken il
Alaskan waters, The returns of this
industry alone amounts to Il millions
Of dollars per annum.
The commission which IS now iu
session in Paris was created for the
purpose of determining the respective
rights Of the United States and Great
Britain in the Behring sea.
The fact is, every acquisition OF ter
ritory to the United States has proven
to be exceedingly valuable.
Since the close OF the Revolution
airy war the territory really occupied
by the original thirteen states hal
been SO extended that it is now abou
fifteen times as large as the original
and our power and influence and
grandeur as a nation has been made
possible only by this rapid and lsSgC
increase Of territory,
As to the probable value of th,
Hawaiian Islands to the UniteC
States, ii may be conceded that theil
territory is very limited, that it will
at best support but q small popula
zion, and that large portion Of it,
present inhabitants are not up TO oul
standard Of civilization.
But apart OF these Hawaii has
many advantages. The climate il
unsurpassed. There is neither The
chilling blast of winter nor the scorcb
ing heat Of summer. Indeed thu

Corrected His Mistake.

The late Justice Lamar was proba-
bly, the most absent-minded man that
yer occupied a prominent place in
public life in this country. The Boston
Herald tells this amusing story of his
forgetfulness:
AS long ago as the time when he
was a senator, he got on a bob-tailed
car in Washington, took q quarter from
his pocket, and with thoughts intent
on far-away things, dropped it into
tho box.
why, senator" exclaimed a fellow
passenger who knew Mr.. Lamar, and
had noticed his mistake, don't you
think it's a little extravagant to pay
twenty-five cents for a ride when the
fare is only five ccnts?f"
"Why, that's a fact, that's fact,,' re-
sponded the senator. waking up from
his day dream.
Then he drew out a handful of
change, carefully picked out a nickel,
dropped it into the box and sat down,
satisfied that he had rectified his mis-
take, and had not paid thirty cents f,r
his ride.

ARAB SWIMMERS.
Their Skill and Endurance Seem Almost
Incredible.

Incredible.
The American boy who spends his
by the sea, or within easy
walking distance of a stream or Lake,
sometimes thinks himself an accom-
plished swimmer. In comparison with
the boys who have twelve months of
practice a year instead of three. such a
boy is a very clumsy l~and-lubber in
deed. A traveller recently returned
from the east told a writer for the Chi
cago News something about Arab
swimmers.
when ships are lying at anchor off
the coast" he said, "the natives swim
about them for hours, with scarcely a
moments rest. You may hurl a coin
with all your strength as far from the
ship as possible, but an Arab Is after
it like a fash. Darling through the
water like an arrow. he has the money
before it has sunk many feet into the
water. He invariably gets the money,
never missing a single attempt.
"Often the swimmers Chamber on
board the boat, and endeavor to turn
an honest penny By entertaining the
passengers in one way or another.
Some of their sleight-of-hand perform
ances are exceeding clever. remem-
Der n instance in particular in which
an Arabian magician got the better of
a young passenger. The Arab swami
out to the ship and came aboard.
while he was endeavoring to per-
form a few tricks for those on deck,
the fresh young man had made him
self very offensive by attempting to
expose all the illusions and explain
them to the audience.
Finally the Arab asked some one to
loan him an English sovereign for a
few moments. The young man stepped
nimbly forward and handed the ma
gician the required gold piece. The
Arab stretched out his left hand, and
placed the coin in the middle of his up
turned palm in plain view of the spec
tators. He slowly closed his hand
without moving its position. In a sec
ond he opened it, and in place of the
sovereign vas a penny. The English
man wanted to examine it. The Arab
tossed it to him. While the young fell
low was examining the penny the
Arab made a dive for the side of the
ship. There vas a splash in the sea,
and that was the last the young man
yer saw of the Arab or the sovereign"

In her arms she held a child, who
stretched out its hands towards him.

WITH a KISS.

o mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the tolls of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient
Complain Of the noise ana the play;
For the day brings SO many vexations,
So many things going amiss,
But, mothers, whatever may yex you,
Send the children 10 bed with a kiss
The dear little feet wander often
Perhaps from the pathway Of night;
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night:
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for our bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings,
send the children 10 bed with 4 kiss.
For some day the noise will not vex you,
The silence will hurt you far more,
You viii long for the sweet. childish voices,
For a sweet, childish face at the door;
And to press a child's face to your bosom,
You'd give all the world just for this,
For the comfort twill bring in your sorrow,
Send the children to bed with a kiss.
