Says the Mansfield Democrat-Jou
nal: "Frequently we hear men
claiming to be Democrats sheer at
the acts and policies of high Demo
cratic officials and assert that the
Democratic party is going to pieces.
These predictions nearly always en-
anate from disgruntled office-seekers
or chronic GROWERS. The wish is
farther to the thought. The Demo
cratic party has been in existencefor
more than century; it has princi
pies and has always had them; it has
always been the party of the people.
The party can be depended upon to
take care of itself. AS a party it
has suffered defeat for adhering to
its principles and has seldom been
found compromising with its enemies.
1t has stood the shock of hundred
years of political warfare, and it's
principles in nearly every instance
triumphed. It's more memorial de-
feats have been caused by trying to
compromise with enemies. It has
profted by these sad lessons, and it
is puerile for its opponents to think
that, after it has been victorious on
principles advocated by it in State
and National elections, it will concede
that it has been wrong. So long as
the people govern this country, that
long will Democracy last. It's prin-
will always be such as connot be
compromised, and those who are not
for them will be against them"

Death of Senator Stanford.

United States Senator Leland Stan
ford died Wednesday of last week at
dis residence in Pa!o Alto, California.
Senator Stanford was in the best OF
spirits during the day: He took a
drive around bis stock farm and seem
ed as well as ever He went to bed
soon after 10 o'clock, and about mid
night his valet going into the Ser q
tors bed room discovered that he
was dead.
Senator Stanford had been con
spicuous figure in California for
thirty five years. He was prominently
identified with her politics and her
business interests. In one way and
another he did as much to advance
her growth as any other of her citi-
zene.
The Foundation of his great for
tune-variously estimated to amount
TO from $40, 100000 to $75, O00, 900
was laid in the building of the Cen
trial Pacific Railroad. He was Pres
ident of the Central Pacific Company,
and superintended the construction
of the road over mountains, building
$50 miles in 293 days.
He was man of strong common
sense and an iron will. Although he
was Governor of California and SEN
ator from that State, and was men,
toned as candidate for the Presi-
dency, he did nothing in statesman
ship that will cause his name to be
remembered. His monument is the
Central Pacific Railroad, and it will
De an enduring one.
Much of his great fortune has been
devoted to educational purposes
For years he was famous for his gen
crosby and princely gifts to individ-
uals and institutions, but his crown
ing philanthropy was the gift of
$20Q00,00O to the State of Califor-
MIA to endow a University in memory
of his only son, Leland Stanford, Jr.,
who died some years ago when only
a mere boy, which is one of the most
complete educational institutions in
the country.

A Good Book.

The Christian Life. A Popular
Treatise on Ethics. BY c. F.
Paulus, ID, Professor of System
attic Theology at German Wallace
College, Berea, 0. PIP Ala, 5vo.
Price $3.50. Cincinnati: Cranston
& Curtis.
This is good book We do not
hesitate to pronounce such a judg-
ment. 1t has been a long time since
we have seen a treacise on Ethics
which, without sacrificing scientific
precision of statement, was still so
popular in its style. DR.. Paulus de-
fines Ethics in general as 'the science
that treats of the moral in the life
mission of man." Of specifically
Christian Ethics he says: cit en-
braces the moral life in connection
with its redemption by Jesus Christ"
Such science presupposes what may
may be called the ''noral" in distinc-
ton from the physical" view of the
universe. 1t implies also, on the one
hand, the existence of an objective
moral law of universal validity, and,
on the other hand, the presence in
man of free will capable of respond
ing to the demands of this law.
The fundamental ideas of Ethics,
according to DR.. Paulus, are three:
Viewed from the standpoint of moral
law, the moral appears as d@ty; view
ed from the standpoint of the free
will-which lies ct the bottom of
moral action-the moral appears as
viftue; viewed from the standpoint
of the realized purpose, the moral
appears as the highest good" All
three of these ideas coalesce and unite
in holy love. "Inasmuch as holy
love is the Divine ideal which is to be
realized through the moral will, and
to be perfected in Gods kingdom,
the kingdom of love, it is the highest
good; inasmuch it is the sum total of
the moral law, the fulfllment of which
is our moral task, it is the highest
duty; and inasmuch it is the only
potent free motive to moral action
which motive enables us to practice
all virtues, and hence is the source
of them-it is the highest virtue."
Starting out with these data, DR..
Paulus breaks up the treatment of
Ethics into two parts. In Part I. he
discusses 1.-THE Natural Life" and in
Part II, 'The Christian Life" Under
the head of "The Natural Life" he
embrace three leading topics: 'The
Moral Endowment of Man." "Man in
His Sinful State" and sThe Death of
the Natural Man. Under the head
OF "The Christian Life p" he has two
divisions: ''The Christian Life of
the Individual" and 'The Molding
of Society by the Christian Life" In
the first division he includes what he
has to say as to the beginning,
progress, and consummation of the
Christian life in individual men. In
the second division he deals with the
family, society, the State, and the
Church. At all points he is sound,
vigorous, and readable. His book,
which we would be glad to notice at
much greater length, is fit for use
either in q class room or in o private
library. We hope that it may have
the wide circulation to which it is
entitled.

Japan AS We Saw It.

It is not often that traveller has
the art and the common sense to
tell in his account of his trip in for
eign land the things which one wants
to know. He is either so taken up
with the desire to show off his knowl-
edge on particular subjects or his
desire to do the conventional thing
is SO strong that the information
that the plain, every day reader wish
es is entirely outside of his range.
1t is the utter absence of any affec-
ton of this sort which makes one of
the chief charms of "Japan as We
Saw 1t" by Robert S. Gardiner. The
book is written with a simplicity and
a directness which are delightful
The ordinary phrase that Sthere is
no nonsense about it" pretty accu-
rately describes the book. 1t is a
straightforward record of experiences
and impressions in Japan, and it i'm
parts that information which is the
most difficult to obtain because it is
related to the most ordinary expert
enses, the details of ordinary life !;
the expenses of travelling, the style
of living at hotels. the customs of
the people as they relate to strangers,
the management of passports and in
word those innumerable things
which one wishes to know and which
it is SO difficult to get hold of with
out going to the country itself to
find them. This volume will prove
q most convenient and efficient guide
book for any who are intending to
make the trip. On the other hand
it is an excellent book for stay-at-
homes, for it SO simply and directly
tells the facts that there is strong
feeling of reality in reading it. 1t
is so free from the ford and exager-
ated that it conveys a clear and pleas
ant impression of the subject and one
gets better idea of what the coun-
try and its people are really like from
this volume than from more preten-
tious works of half dozen times it's
size. The book is profusely illustra-
ted with little tinted process plates
and at the end there is a most ad-
mirable map of the islands and of
the more important cities. There is
also a vocabulary of common words,
tables of weight measures, money,
and of distances with a good deal
of other information of the indispen-
sable sort; so that, although the
book does not in the least pretend
to being a guide book, it is one of
the most complete and compact i'm
agionable. There are pleasant touch
es of humor here and there in the
book, and this bit shows an appreci-
alton of trait of human nature
which will be recognized ever where
"The several theatres are worth
looking into, if only to save some
other traveller from saying, you
should have seen them" We all
know the traveller who has always
seen one thing that those with whom
he may be thrown have not happened
to hit upon, and how he is given to
insisting that that is, aftec all, the
one only thing which it is worth
while to have seen at all. Rand

bines of free labor, or unprinci-
pied and lazy laborers, that would
imperil his crops IN a country
where labor is scarce and impos-
sible to replace If he should be
deserted at a critical moment.
With the present paucity of
population free labor would
mean perpetual menace to the
sugar industry, and possibly
irreparable damage to our COM
mercial backbone. Under Amer
lean laws the contract labor
system would not be permitted.
The evident corollary of this is,
that with Hawaii's annexation to
the United States, the sugar in
dustry would be impossible, and
the staple resource upon which our
general prosperity depends would
atonce be crushed out of existence;
and the United States could not
replace what we would lose.
The planting interests of Ha-
waii must be protected and sup
ported, and the planters are
reminded that the monarchy
devoted its full powers diploma
tically. politically, and financial
ly to build up. foster and protect
the profitable sugar Industry
which the crazy annexationists
now seek to embarass.
The error of the past has been
that the planters and their re-
presentations have been allowed
to dominate too much In the
affairs of the general government
which they sought to control
solely in their own interests. thus
creating an insolent plutocracy
with sugar as King and damn the
people. But past experience
! will regulate the future, and we
are assured that the more in
telligent planters already realize
that the independent monarchy
and the Royalists are the best
friends of sugar and of Hawaii.
The weight Of this article has
rested upon one chief point. but
as it is already too lengthy
we will reserve further argument
against annexation for future
number.
