The fame of the song "The Girl Left
Behind Me" is worldwide. No British
man-of-war leaves harbor, no British
regiment leaves its station for foreign
service, without the plaintive air being
heard by the men who are leaving and
the girls-their mothers, sisters, wives
and sweethearts-whoa are being left be-
hind. This song, like many another
that has stirred the British heart at
home and abroad, that has given valor
in the fight and brought the soft recol-
lections of the motherland amid tine
horrors of the battlefield, is anonymous.
1t is no doubt of Irish origin, but no
one can tell who wrote either the words
or the music. 1t has been found in
manuscript dated about l170. 1.-THE air
was also taken down." says Bunting,
from A. O'Neil, harper, A. D. 1900, au-
thor and date unknown. The air was
written for march, and the English
version of the words, called Brighton
Camp. differs considerably from these"
Chappell, while he put in an English
claim to the air, admits that it may be
Irish, He thinks it was probably writ
ten in 1858, when there were encamp-
ments along the coast--at Brighton
among the rest--where many tunes Of
this sort originated. Wherever it was
first played, it is now almost a century
since it became the soldiers and sailors
loath-to-leave, and it has so long been
played on every man-of-war IS she
weighed anchor and for every regiment
as it quilted town where it had been
stationed that an omission would be
thought a slight upon the ladies.-To-
ronto Mail.

Wemay still stand on the tower Of the
capitol and survey that glorious pano-
rama bounded by Tuscan, Sabine and
Alban hills and dream what that scene
was some LOO or 1900 years ago. The
Forum below was one radiant avenue of
temples, triumphal arches, triumphal
columns, colossal statues, monuments
and votive shrines-the senate house, the
rostra, the sacred way on the one side;
the circular temple of Vesta, the temple
of Castor and the basilica of Julius on
the other; above on the right the temple
of Jove; on the left that of Juno, and the
towering palaces of the Palatine and the
Circus Maximus beyond the valley. Far
as the eye can reach would be vast thea
tiers, enormous baths, colossal sepulchers,
obelisks, columns, fountains, equestrian
statues in marble or in bronze.
The walls of these sumptuous edifices
are all of dazzling brilliance in oriental
marbles, bright with mosaic and with
frescoes, and their roofs are covered with
plates of hammered gold. In the far
distance, across terraces and gardens
shady with the dark foliage of cypress
and stone pine, might be seen the aque-
ducts which bring from the mountains
whole rivers into the city to fill its thou
sand baths and its hundred fountains
And between the aqueducts and the
porticoes, far as the eye can reach to the
hills beyond, villas CLEAN in the sun
with their terraces, gardens, statues and
shrines, each little city in itself. This
earth has never seen before or since so
prodigious an accumulation of all that is
beautiful and rare.--Frederic Harrison
in Nineteenth Century.

conclusively, as only the Bulletin,
like the New York Xeraid, can
always do when it is clearly wrong,
that republican principles were
totally unfit and impractical for APP
plication in Hawaii--the monarchy,
with the BaiiehR'S political sup
porters at the head of politics,
being just what was needed for the
salvation of the Islands.
SO it was and so proved little
later; but our esteemed contempt
rary did not mean it that way. The
royalist weather eye, which should
have been looking out for revolu-
tons, was winking under the hood
of European egotism, while the
/ BHlkehR was ordered to cry bravo
daily and institute an anti-Ameri-
can fight with a direct attack on
United States officials, to forward
the little scheme of political con-
quest gotten up in Merchant street
in the interests of return to abso-
lutte power.
These and many similar facts
within the reach of memory make
it quite evident why the Bulletins
lordlet wishes all reference to the
periods mentioned sunk severa
fathoms in political history Blu
he is not alone; there are others O
his kind now trying to re-entel
politics with the Republic, who
find past records a bar sinister
under good government. Some o.
these are even greater foreigners
and more bitter anti-Americans
than the lordlet with a little q

last three years has spent the most
of his time and the heft of his
brains abusing republican princi.

THAT OBJECTIONABLE PERIOD

The journalistic lordlet OF that
stirling royalist newspaper, the
Bulletin, does not relish having the
political doings of its hackers and
conferers of 1880, 1890 and 1892
again brought to public attention
by the STAR. The doings of the
Bulkehn and its political gang OF
royalists during that interesting
period may be "old Greek, but
they were much better understood
than "old Greek, " or even royalist
English, by the TALL of 1892; and
we can fully appreciate the journal
istic lordlet's present political mod
esty, while remembering the blight
ed hopes which followed that little
candidacy and campaign of his on
Maui.
Or perhaps he is afraid, since he
has begun posing as private ad-
vocate of Republican principles,
that the STAR might unearth
some of those 1880 editorials
which were written in the
heavyweight style about the time
the Mechanics Union was calling
for Republican politics, to show

Honors to the victor of Blenheim.

Queen Anne was in her closet one day
at Windsor-a little turret chamber
with windows on every side looking over
the green and fertile valley of the Thames,
with all the trees in full summer foil

gathered i'll from the tields-when there
was brought to her scrap of crumpled

Of the battle of Blenheim. 1t had been
torn off in haste from a memorandum
book Oh the field and was scrubbed over
with an inn reckoning on the other side.
The commotion it caused was not one
of unmixed joy, for though the queen
wrote her thanks and congratulations,
and there was great thanksgiving serv-
ice ut st. Paul's which she attended in
state, the party in power did all that in
them lay to depreciate the importance of
the victory. When, however, Marlbor-
ough appeared in England with his pris-
oners and trophies-a marshal of France
among the former, and many standards
taken in the iield-the popular sentiment
burst all bounds, and his reception was

The Liquidator of the old
Panama Canal Company has
evolved another" new and origi-
nal scheme for performing the I'M
possible. He proposes that some
body else shall form a new canal
company to retrieve the gigantic
failure at Panama, to which all
the belongings Of the bankrupt
company on the Isthmus of Pan
ANA, besides documents" plans
that failed, railway shares, etc,
will be turned over, on the one
condition that the canal shall be
completed within the stipulated
time. The present scheme needs
only 90, 900, 900 francs to finish the
work; and if the habit of reducing
the needed funds every time a for
ward step is taken toward the COM
pletion Of the Nicaragua Canal by
the United States is continued, it is
safe to say some confident Paris
schemer will offer to do the Job for
as many thousand francs before the
Nicaragua Canal is half finished.

AS 10 WATER.

The small bit of advice from
characteristic Royalist source to the
Government, since the establish
ment Of the Republic please take
notice, in the matter of improving
the water supply of Honolulu, "
with the suggestion that whatever
the Government intends to do
should be done quickly, comes
with rather bad grace, considering
the facts. We would like to ask if
the yearly water famine under the
monarchy was ever confined to a
portion of the town as at present?
Water famine after water famine
occurred under the old regime and
not a word of complaint was
uttered by Royalists. The present
is merely another method which
political disappointment takes of
carping at the Government.
If we remember rightly the i'm
provements instituted by Minister
Thurston several years ago for the
improvement Of the water system
of Honolulu received a rude check
from the National Reform party
and its political tamperers. Had
his plans been carried out Honolulu
would have an abundance Of water
to-day. From the me ment the
National Reform party came into
temporary power until the fall of
the wornout monarchy, there was
not a single movement made to
supply more water. Not word of
comment was offered. The present
royalist journals were as silent as
the grave.
Since the incoming of the Pro
visional Government and the Re-
pubic large amounts of money have
been expended on the water works,
and when the present plans are
carried out within the next two
years, Honolulu will be thereafter
sufficiently supplied with water.
Had the political element of pro-
gress that went into power in 1887
been strong enough to fight off the
cohorts of royalism for another
period the country would not only
have been blessed with plentiful
water supply but would probably
be still cursed with the old form of
government, which would have
been more unfortunate than the
present partial water famine.
1t is perhaps just as we'll
that the mills of the gods
ground as they did. In
the meantime it would be discre-
ton on the part of royalist editors
to nurse their good advice on chow
to run a Government" until the
officers of the Republic show some
tendency toward the former dis
graceful state of affairs,
From the present outlook the
Republic will accomplish for the
water supply in two years what the
old regime failed to accomplish in
over twenty.

1t is true that the verifcation Of the
germ origin of disease has thrown very
little light on the subject Of curing dis
ease. The microbe evaded discovery until
the midday of science and seems able vet
to evade its enemies. But the discovery
has made the prevention of disease GER
tainty. The microbe can be prevented from
transportation and can be prevented from
termination in soil, dir, water and organic
matter. The general public, however, are
not yet ready to do this work They do
not appreciate its Importance or theirpriv-
ileges. No doubt the time will come when
the preventible diseases will be prevented,
and the necessity of cure will be suppressed

FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE.


Fashions for children do not change so
rapidly nor so completely as those for
grown persons. Freedom of movement
and health always enter into plans for the
construction of garments for little people,
which are therefore restricted in their va
rietics in way to which gr0wnup styles,
not hampercd by such considerations, are
not liable.
Little English girls still wear the conven-
tional plain frock of holland or cashmere,
with full skirt and bodice gathered into
uniting belt and short sleeves, all the
year round, that leave thcirpoor little arms
to be roughencd or turned blue by cold or
tanned by the summer sun-whcn there is
any. This is mentioned only as an ex-
IRENE example Of the slow change of chill
dren's fashions and is not by any means
recommended ms pattern to be followed

The wide liberty which prevails in fash
ions this year seems to have resulted in
upsctting the generally accepted theories
in regard to summer and winter fabrics.
Thick and thin goods are combined in the
same costume, while velvet, fur and heavy
silk are used for gowns intended for warm
weather wear, II would he difficult to
guess what the next new development viii
be, for all possible ground seems to be
completely covered already. Perhaps when
the present riot of color and varying form
has reached climax there will be u re
vulsion of feeling and return to mode
shades and the slim severity of skirts, in
which we cannot stoup to pick anything
up, and sleeves that will not allow any
bending of the arm. 1t did not take a
great deal of cloth to make gowns in that
fashion, and two such might be made ont
of one of the present style.
