THE PASSION PLAY.

Chaunccy Depew says that the most
astonishing and instructive sight that he
met in Europe was the Passion Play at
Ober-Ammergau-such wonderful effect
did that spectacle make upon this great
orator. 1t shows that we are most inn
pressed by the unusual and the unex-
pected. Still something depends upon the
condition of our health, for, when the mind
is not free, when it is hampered by pain or
stupefied with malaria we are not able to
enjoy anything. Travellers will find that
it is best to carry with them mild Iaxa-
tive in order to guard against the changes
in food, climate, different drinking water
and the many things that cause disturb
ances of the digestive organs. The best
thing for this purpose are the Laxative
Gum Drops. These gum drops contain
the finest laxative in the world, put up in
the best gum drop material, in which form
they will stand any changes of climate
without deteriorating. They contain no
taste of medicine and the ordinary user
will not be conscious of taking medicine
at all save by the result which is sure and
certain. They come in two sizes, the small
size at ten cents, the large size at twenty
five cents. Get them of any dealer.

Prof. Ely's Ideas.

In his preface to Taxation to Amer
lean States and Cities" Prof. Richard
T. Ely, after urging the vital import
ance of the study of taxation, says:
The difference between good system
of taxation and poor one is to many
of our fellow citizens precisely the diff.
ference between having cloth to make
into garments and going naked; the diff
ference between having food to cook
and going hungry" "As soon as one
begins to examine the facts respecting
taxes and taxpayers in our cities, one
discovers that many an advocate of gov.
ern:nental reforms, loud in his profes.
sions, is as INSCRIPTIONS tax dodger as
any unregenerate politician of the
spoils school; that many a man who
plumes himself on che soundness OF
his Christianity, is but too ready to
browbeat the tax assessor and shift his
just burden to the shoulders of the poor
and defenseless; that many one who
figures in the list of donors to charitable
and philanthropic institutions, gives,
after all, only a part of what he has
withheld from the public treasury. On
the other hand it is encouraging to find
rare instances of men of wealth who do
not avail themselves of the means at
their command to evade taxes, and who
has heavy burdens placed upon then,
by an Anticipated and iniquitous system
of taxation"

WORMS FTTLY SPOKEN,

Vn ENs
 That the Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth has been studying certain problems to some purpose Is made plain by his remarks be fore the Congregational Club last evening. We print what he said in full and we in- vite the attention of all good citizens to it, and the bad citizens may get useful hint or two from tt also. It is plain, pointed and practical.
 Dr. Smyth goes to the root of the matter when he calls upon those interested in the public welfare to be better citizens. It is not enough to put men in ofics and then leave the faithful ones to battle alone with the forces of evil and the unfaithful ones to consort with those forces. And he gives very accurate description of the way those forces work. They can and often do greatly hamper the efforts of faithful public servant. They can sometimes com pletely nullify them, and in such way, too, that it is practically impossible to see just how it is done. What is needed Is 2 body of public opinion large, alert and aggressive enough to have its influence in the selection of public servants and watch ful and prompt enough to countsrsct the pull from the other and wrong side. Some progress has been made in this direction, and more is hoped for. The work requires real public spirit, courage and persistence, and 1t needs above all leader and organi- ger. The Rev. Dr. Smyth has shown uu- usual capacity in this line and he is per hsps as much looked to as anybody in this community by those that see that some- thing ought to be done.

THE HAWAIIAN GAME

Although the President appears to be now conscious of the fact that there is a congress which may have something to say about the Hawaiian question, his message doesn't do much toward relieving him and his secretary from the odium which they ,hars sz<ssgss u9on theras7ae E. E1 :s1oTes all that hss been made known concerning the other side of the question, ,snd sticks to his man Blount's side with great and characteristic obstinaoy. Assuming that ''by an act of war, committed with the par ticipation of diplomatic representative of the United States and without authority of congress, the government of @ feeble but friendly and conadipg people has been overthrown," he proceeds to show that he has only been engaged in trying to right the great wrong that he says has been done. And feeling that the United States could not, under the circum- stances disclosed, annex the islands with out justly mourning the imputation of &C., quiring them by unjustifsble methods, he will not again submit the treaty of annex ation to the senate for its consideration, and in the instructions to Minister Willis he has directed him to so inform the pro- visionsl government.
 A very interesting and truly comical part of the performance Is that played by the dusky queen, who, 1t seems, has actually gone back on her great and good brother. The great and good brother thought he conld fix things as they ought Willis to advise the queen and her sup porters of his desire to aid in the restors- tion of the status existing before the landing of the United States forces at Honolulu on the 18th of January last, if such restoration could be effected upon terms providing for clemency as we'll as justice to all parties concerned. The con- ditions suggested contemplated a general amnesty to those concerned in setting up the provisional government and 8 recogni- ton of all its bona fde acts and obliga- tions. These conditions have not proved acceptable to the great and good sister, and though she has been informed that they will be insisted upon. and that, unless &C., ceded to, the efforts of the president to ! aid in the restoration of her government will cease, he has not thus far learned that she is willing to yield them her acquiesc- enoe. Which is decidedly funny.
 Having made, according to his own con- fession, muddle of the whole business,
 the president now falls back on "the ex- tended powers and wide discretion" of
 congress to help him out of his scrape.
 But he is apparently as satisfied as ever
 that his man Blount is the only one who
 has told the truth about the matter, and he is ss anxious as ever to see discredited
 and overthrown monarchy set up again.
 But he will probably wait long time be-
 fore he sees such restoration brought
 about by the aid of the United States
 The people of this country want to dc
 what is right, but they don't feel bound te
 implicitly believe MT. Blount's story, and
 they are very suspicious of the whole per
 formance of which the story was a part.

Jowetl,s Candor.


 This cRndor was natural to the man that at times he ran risks of being thought to be personal Thus, for example, In one of his sermons in chapel We were electri- fed to hear him once say, "We see our old friends sitting in their study chairs and getting narrower and narrower every day" Now we saw one of those old friends sotu- ally sitting within a few feet of the preacher, and our care tingled for the mas ter, but 1t was quite evident that the preacher was in that condition of mind upon the matter that friends qua persons he wished to press home of the need of wide sympathy to the end of life had ob- liberated all thought or fear of the person or man. From any one else 1t might have seemed little rude to take & man out for 6 long walk, make no reply to a remark about the weather that had been st last made in sheer desperation, walk back mile in silenca. and turn round on the doorstep, shake hands and gay: "I don't think much of that last remark of yours good dsy;" but 1t came naturally from Jowstt, and was said with such evident intent not to harm, but to help, that the man was not hurt by 1t at all. By the way, what funny things those silent walks werel The master would, after a lap or two of silence, suddenly break to hum ming a tune, and after a turn or two of humming would relapse into silencss Sometimes he would sstonish his compRn ions by saying, Shall we run and get wsrmT and away he would go till the younger would cry, Hold; enough" It was this csndor that made him ssy oncs | to a talkstive young fellow who had come up to compete for the Bsllicl scholarship. and who had come In to breakfast with his competitor-s very shy boy-snd had ssked whether his rivAl was a clever boy, ''Yes; he'll get the scholArship-Dot you" It was this candor that came to the front | at dinner party of men (old Balliol schol- | srs) who had passed out with honors from the college, and were serving their country | in various public posts of importance. One of them said, "Master, we should be very sorry to have to go in for the Bslliol scholarship now; we should none of us | pass" and all expected to hear Jowett gay, | .'Ob, nonsenseI You are sIl better schol. srs now than then" But Jowett glanced | round the table and j1st said, "Yes, one of you would-SIanley here" It was this csndor that enabled him, as it was cur rently reported, to say to the young man who had thrown up au important post in the Indian civil service and taken the welve-shilling-s-vssk pay of 6 captain la the Salvation army: "I Islwsys thought you a foolish young man; but, on the | whole, have come to the conclusion that this Is the wisest step you could have taken"
