A JUST DECISION.

The decision OF Judge Cullen denying
the application for u certificate OF rea-
sonable doubt in the Mckane case was
made known to The Evening World"
readers yesterday.
The refusal of the stay will give gen.
cral satisfaction, and remove from the
public mind the uncomfortable feeling
that Justice might be defeated In the
case of this chief offende on account
Of his wealth and political influence.
1t would ave been a most deplorable
ard mischievous result II Mckane had
been enabled to keep out OF Sing Sing
while 80 many lesser offenders. whose
crimes were Of u trivial character as
compared with those OF which McKane
was convicted, are paying the penalty
OF the law in prison cells.

sUPPIEM ENTAIL NONSENSE.

The Republican members Of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations place
themselves in Il ridiculous position when
they indorse and sign enator Morgan's
report on Hawaiian matters and then
add n little supplemental report of their
own manufacture.
Mr.. Morgan speaks Of Minister Ste
vens's action In causing the United
States flag to be raised over the Gov
eminent buildings in Honolulu and de-
clarinR n rrotcCtorate over Hawaii IN
the name OF the United states, AZ being
"without authority ana void for want Of
power" He declares MIR. Blount's course
In hauling down the flag, only an order
~ preserve its honor"
After agreeing to this with Mr.. Nor
gan, the Republican Committeeman
proceed on their own hook to say that
"Mr. Blount's order to Admiral Skier
rctt to lower the United States ensign
from the Government building was IAN
order he had no lawful authority to
give"
with Senator Morgan the Republican
Senator'S uphold the right Of the Ircal-
dent to appoint Mr.. Blount. and declare
the authority given to him and which he
exercised to have been proper.
on their own account they say that
the missions Of Mr.. Blount and Mr..
Willis were In violation of the Const.-
tuition and OF the principles OF interna-
tional law. and without authority or
warrant of law"

ways Senators say that Intervention Ito
the extent of gaining the final decision
and agreement of both parties to GER
tain propositions "is strictly within the
accepted right or authority of a COVER
cign to tender his good Offices to recon
cile the conflicts OF 1--WE or more fac
ions or parties that may be opposed to
each other within any country"
OF themselves they say 1.-THE President
of tho United States had no authority to
attempt to reopen such determined ducs-
lions II to oudcavor by any means
whatever to overthrow the Provisional
Government o. to restore the monarchy
which Il had displaced"
The Republican Committeeman signed
the Morgan report because 1t in1orses
Minister Stev"ns's acts. supports the
Provisional Government, favors the
AmericanizIng of the islands and opposes
the monarchy. They desired to make It
u majority report. But In presenting at
the same time a supplemental report

In the Morgan report they make them
selves ridiculous.

To Mike Chocolate.

Never crate or shave off chocolate
from the cake. Break of the amount
you need, and put it either in an earthen
lined or an agate kettle. pou boiling
water on 1t, just enough to dissolve Il,
then pou in the milk. which should be
warm. not hot. stirring all the while you
are putting 1t In. Stand the kettle where
1t will boil quickly, being careful not to
let 1t burn. and when it has boiled three
minutes the chocolate is done. Pour into
the chocolate pot and serve. Do not
sweeten 1t; let the guests swceten their
own chocolate as they prefer. Three
ounces OF chocolate is a good measure
for a cup. 1t does not hurt chocolate to
stand after boiling for at least a halt
hour where 1t will keep hot. only do not
let It boil.

Orange Trines.

Cut off the top of the fruit carefully
and take out the pulp without breaking
the skin. Then make Il jelly from the
oranges and replace it in the skin. Gently
lay over the top again. A pretty n
original dish is the result. Use, of course,
as many oranges as are required. Here
is a receipt for an orange salad. a dish
much appreciated on the desert table
by Parisiennes: Slice up as many or
anges as you think o will require, peel
and all, and lay the slices in a glass
dish. Sift over some sugar and then add
several s%poonfuls OF brandy. The or
anges should be cut up in the glass dish
to preserve the juice, which mixes with
the brandy and forms a syrup. Put
plenty OF sugar to the fruit and "baste'
it. so to speak, with the syrup as often
as you like.

Women Who Need Not Work.

To the Edito':
The times will be forever out OF Joint with the
poor man and his family and the young man as
piring to get married until a systematic attempt
is made to alleviate their welfare by suggesting
one remedy, which is that tho well-to-do women
now holding lucrative positions as public school
teachers. saleswomen. &c. In stores be compelled
by the force OF public opinion to relinquish their
positions In favor OF poorer members OF their sex
or OF the men striving to MI the mouths OF their
little families. These women, whose fathers.
brothers. aye. even husbands. are earning large
salaries, have no right to take those positions for
pin-inoney, as they term It. thereby depriying
worthy people Of bread and butter. A New York
City bank President has three daughters teaching
in the brooklyn public schools. Other families
very well on have their daughters In the dry-goods
stores Just for occupation. To place these per-
fumed darlinBs alongside the poorly dressed shop
woman. daughter OF a mechanic. is the very re-
fnement OF cruelty: they scorn them for being
poor. and carry a supercllious air which Is dis
tasteful to customers. They are entirely out OF
their sphere in n shop and as wo~rkingwomen. Let
them show their pretty clothes at home. Reserve
the positions In stores and schools for the poor
mems daughters. whose revenue will keep the
roof over their heads and not be squandered In gGy
plunage. This Is the wish OF a taxpayer.
