THE HAwAIIAN OUTBREAK.

The revolution in Honolulu exoites
special interest in this country because
OF recent efforts to annex the Hawaiian
islands. A commission, made up OF
prominent foreign born residents OF the
islands, is already on the WY TO Wash
ington to complete negotiations with
II government, but it seems certain
that they do not represent the majority
OF Queen Lilioukalani's subjects. The
sentiment there for annexation has here
tofore been confined to foreigners who
forsee many trade advantages as a re-
suit, but even this is divided among sew
eral countries.
Last October the San Francisco FIX
aminer's correspondent made a critical
study Of the political conditions on the
islands, and his Conciusions showed an
overwhelming verdict among natives
against annexation with any country.
TINS was reacheu by. Il series OF inter.

GIRLS BY THE CARLOAD.
What a Huron Landlords Advertisement
Caused.

What a Huron Landlords Advertisement
Caused.
HURON, s. D., Jan. 2a.-Some months
since M. J. Dinneen, proprietor of the Da-
kota house in this city. experienced much
difficulty in getting help sufficient for the
proper care of the hotel. Nor was this con-
dition alone confined to that hostelry; ho-
tells in other towns we're equally destitute of
female help, rs we're also scores of families
that employed domestics the year round.
EXor1ltent wages were offered, but the de-
mand for girls was only slightly lessened.
Neiehboring cities are equally SHORT" on
girls. and two or three carloads could be
readily distributed in towns like Huron,
Aberdeen, Watertown. Sioux Falls, Mitch.
ell, etc. In short the cry comes
up from every quarter for girls
for general housswofk, and the
hired airl problem has become
q question for serious consideration in these
pa "a. Tho scarcity prompted Dinneen to
address a letter to Father Brown, of st.
Vincent's church. Springfield, setting forth
the facts above Indicated. The letter was
forwarded to Rev. Father Callaghan. of the
Mission OF Our Lady of the Rosary. New
York. and in some way fell into the hands
of e press correspondent and was sent
broadcast over the county. As a result
Dinneen is besie2ed with letters of inquiry,
many of which ae interesting reading.
They come from all parts OF the United
States and are chletiY from women a~nIioua
to better their condition. In his letter
Dinneen incidentally referred to the fact
that Husbands in South Dakots are as
abundant as blaokberfiss in July" This
reference is touched upon by a considerable
number of the fair writer's.
Among tho letters are soms from men
anxious to secure life partners OF their
joys and sotrows, and who will share with
thsm the comforts and discomforts Of
homes in South Dakota's broad p~rairies.
One gentleman asks that he be early ad-
vised of the ar ivsl of ths ladies, 30 that he
may have first choice. Another offers to
pay a p~ortion of the expense incurred in
getting the ladies here, while still another
il willing to pay n fair premium for the
privilege of an early selection. If Din
nosn's mail continues to grow for tho next
week az il han IN the past few days, he will
be obliged to employ a clerk to answer
letters.

A DISAPPEARING OUARTETTE.

FIFTEEN years ago the leadership of
the republican party vas a bone Of ON
~tention between Roscoe Conkling, James
G.. Blaine, John Sherman and George F.
Edmunds. Blaine became the target
Of hatred for the others because he
possessed to 4 greater degree that mys-
terious and controlling mental gift
known as personal magnetism. Conkling
too possessed this, but in less measure,
and his impulsiveness and lack of
diplomacy led to his political downfall,
after which, by common consent the
leadership went to the man from Maine.
Edmunds has retired; John Sherman
alone is fighting, but, as the Minneapolis
convention showed, he is no longer an
aspirant for further party honors.
1t is interesting to speculate OF the
places to be accorded these men in his
tory. Each was the contemporary of
the other in a period demanding the
solution of grave problems. In this
work what were the contributions of
each and how will they be ranked as
z VI to VI Tx toAilpl
If the future historian is as cold
blooded and exacting as his predecessors,
he will study only results as recorded.
The flashing eye, the appealing gesture,
the sympathetic voice are memories, not
records. Personal magnetism wins a
reference in history but not a chapter.
Our old wing fathers and grandfathers
loved to be led by Henry Clay beca use
he was a born leader of men and was
there great, but we Of to-day read his
speeches and find them verbose and
spiritless, because the name which so
entranced died with the man. We study
history and find that he was the author
of but a single great measure, the
Missouri Compromise, designed to solve
q great and serious problem and result
ing in utter failure.
The contributions of Sherman and
Edmunds to two decades of American
history will be found in the congressional
record. One will be known as the lead
ing ~tinancier among public mon in his
time, a corresponding place, perhaps, to
that Of Alexander Hamilton, though not
involving the Same difficulties; the other
as the peer of senatorial contemporaries
in interpreting constitutional law, and
as the author of the first successful
attempt to destroy the iniquities of
Mormonism. Both were cold, in
tellectual, handwriting students, with
no sympathy for the masses and their
ambitions were uncrowned because
they never knew how to play to the pit
and gallery at one performance. The
applause must come from future gener-
atoms.
Conkling and Blaine saw the applaud
ing multitudes and gathered the rewards
in their time, bus will they not be best
remembered in tho romantic but lasting
legendary OF personal leadership, rather
than the chronicles Of fact?
