WHICH WILL YOU TAKE?
(Charlotte News.l

Please give this a place in your
columns Entering the Office OF a
well known merchant, l lifted my eyes
and found myself confronted with the
most thrilling temperance lectute |
ever steered myself against in the
whole course of my life. 1t was an
inscription marked with pen on the
back Of post card, nailed to the desk.
The inscription read as follows:
WHICH? WIFE OR wHIsKEY?
THE BABES OR THE BOTTLE?
HOME OR HE'LL
"Where did you get that, and what
did you nail it up there for?" | asked
the merchant.
"I wrote that myself and nailed it
up there" was his reply, "and l will
tell you the story of that card"
"Some time ago l found myself
falling into drinking habit. l would
run out once in a while with a visiting
customer, or at the invitation of a
travelling man, or on every slight oc-
caslon that offered. | soon found that
my business faculties were Becoming
dulled, that my stomach was continu-
ally out OF sorts, my appetite failing,
and constant craving for alcoholic
stimulants becoming dominant. | saw
tears in the eyes of my wife, wonder
depicted on the faces of my children,
and then l took long look ahead.
Zone day sat down at my desk
and half unconsciously wrote the in
scription on that card. On looking
at it upon its completion, its awful
revelation burst upon me like flash !;
/ nailed it up there and read it over
a hundred times that afternoon. That
night l went home sober, and l have
not touched drop of intoxicating
liquor since. You see how startling is
its ALTERATION. Now | have no literary
proclivities, and regard that card as
an inspiration. 1t speaks out three
solemn warnings every time l look at
it. The first is voice from the altar,
the second from the cradle, and the
third and last from

ened into a solemn shaking of the
head, and with that he resumed his
work.
| don't think | violated his conf
dence by repeating the story of that
card. In fact, if it should lead to the
writing of similar cards to adorn
other desks, think he will be i'm
measurably gratifed.

WARS NEW TERRORS.
Devices for Slaughter That Are Be-
yond ImaginatiOn'S Grasp.

Indications are that when two
European armies eventually meet on
the field, if the war talk ever resolves
itself into actual conflict, a good
many men will faint away in terror
! of their adversaries. The ''inven-
tions" which have been brought out
lately in France, Germany and
Austria, and which have been pur-
chased by the governments of those
countries, are innumerable, and
every one of them is designed to
slaughter human life at a rate that
appalls the imagination. The most
intense and theatric secrecy is main
tanned concerning all these inven-
tions, and only few general facts
regarding them have been made
public. The German army, it is
understood, is armed with rifles
which will send a bullet through
four men, standing one behind the
other, at a distance of two and half
miles from the rifle. Austria has a
machine gun which shoots several
thousand bullets minute, which Is
operated by steam and controlled by
a single gentleman with a waxed
mustache and monocle in bis left
eye, who lightly turns the crank
At least this is the condition of
things according to the latest illus
trated journals at hand. The man
with the eyeglass can turn the crank
fast enough to sweep thirty or forty
thousand men into eternity during
the luncheon hour.
Incidentally, German tailor has
invented coat that makes the wear
er absolutely Indifferent to bullets at
any range, and the Italians have
machines for throwing very small
and almost invisible torpedoes dis
lance of nearly a quarter of mile.
The torpedOes describe parabola in
the air, drop into the camp of the
enemy, and explode with force
enough to kill a hundred or more
soldiers, if they happen to be in the
vicinity. Great numbers of them
can be thrown at a time, and a pleas
ing and cheerful feature Of it is that !
there are no disagreeable odors nor
any smoke whatever when the ex-
plosion occurs.
NJ Turpin of France is the latest |
hero in this direction. He has in
vented something which is so al
together awful that the taxpayers /
have requested the government to
give NJ. Turpin great amount of |
money SO that he will not turn the
machine over to the Germans This /
machine is operated by electricity, |
and, according to its inventor, it is of |
so terrible a nature that it will do |
away with all Notifications through
out the civilized world. This is
merely detail of the execution this
machine is expected to accomplish.
Forts will be of no use, because III.
Turpin's machines would rend them
all into atoms, and at distance of
several miles man can NOW down
the enemy at the rate of 10000 at an
engagement.-New York Sun.

THE Star has come out in favor
of the abolition of the mixed jury
system, thus allowing juries to be
drawn without reference to their
own nationality or that of the par
ties to the suit. The mixed jury
system undoubtedly deserves the
worst that can be said of it, but the
substitute proposed by the Star, in
the existing state of sentiment, is
entirely impracticable. A better
way out of the difficulty would be
the retention of juries in cases
where the parties to the suit are of
the same race, leaving all other
cases to be tried by bench of
Judges, except where both parties
prefer to take their chances with a
Jury drawn without distinction of
race.

THE interview with the Attor-
ney-General published this morn
ing Is significant because it shows
that the Government is awake to
the necessity Of going vigorously to
work upon the development of its
agricultural resources in Hawaii.
A million dollars spent in high
ways, and in the encouraging of
railroads on that island, will make
a rich return to the State in in
creased taxes, while it will mean
a vast increase in the national
wealth. The work should be begun
as soon as money can be had, and
it should be pushed forward with
all possible speed.

JUDGE COOLEY has come cut in
an article strongly endorsing the
position taken by Mr.. Cleveland
toward the strike, and Mr.. Cooley's
attitude meets with much ap-
prevail. His views on the Ha-
waiian question on the other hand
were met with universal condemn
alton. This shows that all that
Mr.. Cooley needs, to secure popular
approval, is to talk sense. When
he tries to make it appear that the
United States has not the consti-
tutiOnal power to acquire these isl
ands, because they are not contig-
uous by land, he does not talk
anything which the average Amer
lean can recognize as sense, and
he gets in consequence no endorse
ment.

THE registration for Honolulu
alone has already reached over
$50. This is certainly not a dis
couraging showing when we con-
slider that there have been, as yet,
no nominations, that the election
day has not been set, and that
none of the political organizations
have begun any canvass to induce
voters to register. As soon as the
campaign begins in earnest, voters
will begin to pour in at the Judi
ciary Building, and the Boards of
Examiners and of Registration will
have their hands full.

IT Is high time to send the band
up to Hawaii again. 1t is three
years since the band has left Oahu.
The expense of sending it away is
not great, and the taxpayers on the
other islands, who help to support
it, are certainly entitled to hear a
little of the music for which the
people pay. The band will get
what will be to its members a va
cation, at the same time that the
public gets the usual service. As
for Honoluluites, they will appreci-
ate the band all the more after an
absence of two or three weeks.

News from the other islands re,
garding the registration of natives
is very satisfactory. In Kohala
over a third of the registration
thus far is composed of native
Hawaiians. Private advices from
that district and from Maui are of
a very encouraging nature, and in
dictate that the better sense of the
natives is strongly urging them to
the loyal adoption Of the Republic.
Their present attitude represents
not their own sentiments but a
practical coercion.

THE Councils yesterday amended
the law regarding the landing of
aliens. The law formerly required
the immigrants to possess either
$50 or to be under contract to some
one here, without making any fur
ther specifications in regard to the
contract. The amendment requires
him to be under a contract of at
least two years duration to work
as an agricultural laborer.

To ASSUME that the refusal of
foreigners drawn as jurors to take
the oath, is due to political hos
tility to the Republic is utterly alb
surd. 1t is not the abjuring of the
monarchy to which they never
owed fealty, but the assuming ale
glance to the Republic, which
makes the difficulty. As every
one knows, subjects or citizens of
the United States, Germany, Great
Britain, or any other foreign power
may be, and constantly are drawn
as jurors. The citizens of foreign
countries have always been slow
to become naturalized here, even
though they had made Hawaii
their home, for the simple reason
that they were unwilling to ex-
change the protection of a strong
nation for that of a weak one. We
have no sympathy with this feel
ing, but it must be recognized as a
fact In the present case there
seems to be some doubt as to
whether the form of oath prescribed
in the Constitution does not imply
Remuneration of foreign allegi-
ance, with its consequent loss of
rights. In point of fact we believe
that it does not involve such a
remuneration, but the letter of
Secretary Gresham, in response to
the inquiries of Minister Willis on
this subject, was far from encour-
aging. At any rate the apprehen-
sion is present in the minds of our
alien population, and is amply
sufficient to account for the few
refusals to take the oath, without |
assuming, as the partizan journals |
do, the presence of any hostility to
the best and freest government
which Hawaii has ever had.

THE Hawaiian boys who are at
college in the United States are
earning fame for their native land
with muscle as well as brain. One
notes with solid satisfaction that
the Anglo-Saxon stock has not de-
generated under the sun of Hawaii,
but that the young men who have
got their strength lassoing cattle
and hunting land shells on our
mountains, can still win laurels
from the boys who have grown
rugged and hardy amid the SHOWS
Of the New England winters.

FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS.
From Wednesdays Daily

| .AACA W CNACShaf : DaAAl -
The ADVERTISER presents its
readers this morning with the first
half of a valuable paper by one Of
the women teachers of Maui, on
the growth of the kindergarten.
The concluding half deals with the
amazing progress of kindergarten
work in the United States. The
whole paper is most excellent and
is worthy of preservation.
The kindergarten movement is
believed by those who are promot-
ing it to promise something which
will 90 far toward the saving of
mankind. Whether we subscribe
to so enthusiastic view or not, it
cannot be denied that at the root of
the system lie two great and i'm
portant ideas. One is the idea of
a scientific method of education,
based upon a sound psychology,
a study of the actual growth of the
mind. The other is the idea of
utilizing for education the years of
which nature makes the greatest
use, but which man in his folly
leaves to lie fallow. These are the
first years, when the mind is as
p!iubie as wax to impressions
which it retains for lifetime.
The kindergartener believes that
education can take hold of the
problem Of vice and crime by tax
ing possession of the mind when it
is nothing but a bundle of poten-
tialities, Of slumbering tendencies,
and filling it with impulses toward
sound and healthy living. This
process is not a bringing from with
out it is an unfolding from within
an awakening of powers which
exist in everybody. The kinder
garten teacher, believes that the first
years of childhood, when passed
amid vicious surroundings, give
the start on the road to crime. The
good is choked, the evil goes apace,
the child-soul is an unweeded
garden.
That these things are facts is
beyond all question equally SO is
the fact that the effort to educate
from the beginning must play an
part in those future ac-
Livities which the union of science
and philanthropy is setting in mo-
ton for the regeneration of man.
There is, beyond a doubt, life and
promise in the kindergarten move
nent.
Those who believe in this move
nent do not need to expend their
and their help on en-
erprises abroad. Right here in
honolulu the kindergartens are
aunched, and right here in Homo
ulu is need of all the energy and
ii the money that can be got TO
lelp them forward.

LET all the inhabitants of Hawaii
rejoice. The six years of travail
have ended, and the volcano road
Is finished. Now the prisoners who
have so long been expiating their
crimes on this highway will be
sent to work their way through
fresh woods and pastures new.

might be growing serious to
! the fellows whose names grace
the calendar. As the consti-
tuition does not provide that
natives shall be tried by Ha-
waiians, though it isa custom,
and citizens of that nationali-
ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed byt present Advisory
| Council.
In some parts of the United
States, New York for instance,
to be eligible to jury duty, a
man must be a citizen of the
United States, a resident of
the district in which he is
called and be the owner either
in his or his wife's name, of
two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real or personal
property Citizens are Great
ed by law and natives do not
become citizens until the
statutes make them such. In
this instance the taking of the
oath to support the present
government is all that is
necessary. This seems to de-
eide the question whether a
change in the form of govern
ment utilities the citizenship
of the people" To become a
citizen now, one must be
politically born again and the
result of last Mondays mid
wifery was that all but three
of the panel died "a bOrnin."
The only relief for tins state
of affairs seems to be in
amending the constitution;
men do not become criminals
until they are convicted of the
charges on which they are
tried and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. If they are
not tried within Il certain
time they have a good strong
kick which must be recog-
nized by the court. We
cannot see where the taking
of the required oath to support
the government is a guarantee
that the verdict rendered will
be according to the law and
the evidence, the result the
court and attornies should
strive to obtain. The judi
ciary being considered above
politics it must not be sup
posed that the court would be
a party to increasing the num-
Der of supporters of the
government by any such pecu-
liar methods.
If you can get an article
that will 10 all and more than
will at the same price,
it seems reasonable to decide
that the more versatile is the
one to be used. The I'D. & d."

His Wit Saved Him.

Although it is a familiar saying
that an Irishman is always spelling
for a fight, still there is one kind OF
fighting to which the brave sons O.
Erin are sometimes averse-that is
duelling, A story we'll illustrating
this fact has recently come to our
knowledge.
A certain lrishman, having been
challenged to fight duel, accepted
the conditions after much persuasion
on the part of his friends, who felt
sure of his success. His antagonist,
lame man, walked ON crutches.
When the place for the shooting
had been reached, the lame man
second asked that he be allowed to
lean against a milestone which hap
pened to be there. The privilege
was granted, and the lame man took
his stand beside the milestone.
The Irishman and his seconds
drew off to the distance agreed up
on-100 feet. Here Pats courage
suddenly failed him, and he called
to the lame man:
Il have small favor to ask of we,
SURF
"What is iti' asked the cripple.
Pat hesitated moment and then
said: Il told We thit yc might lean
aginst the milestone, and now
would like the privilege Of leaning
agin the next one"
The laughter which followed spoil
ed evervbody's desire for a fight,
and the whole party went home
without shot having been fred.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 6, 900
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engrayings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free
upon application to Jno. j. Byrne,
