As we passed along the main street Of
the island we had crowd after us with
Gloucester County Democrat., 1894-08-30

concerning the islands of the Pacific,
declared that the only movement toward
civilization that amounted to anything
in these islands had been made by the
church; gospel, not gunpowder; life,
not death; bibles, not bullets.
The only movement that at this time
has full swing in Samoa is trade gin.
That maddens and imbrutes and has
given to Samoa the unsavory and un-
just title Of the ''hell Of the Pacific. -
The foreign gin is helped in its work
by domestic drink called tkava. - 1t
is prepared in the following delicious
way: There is a plant called Piper me-
thisticum, from the root Of which the
kava is made. A young Samoan woman
moved to one Of the Fiji islands, but
got tired and resolved to return to her
native islands. Before starting home
ward she saw rat, which seemed weak
and thin, eat the root of this plant
when the rat Immediately became strong
and vigorous, and she concluded that
the best thing she could do for her ma
hive land was to take this root to her
people that 1t might make them strong
and vigorous too. AS the root Of it
made the rat strong and vigorous, why
not the same result be produced in the
human race? So she cultivated in Sa-
moa the Piper methisticum, from which
the kava is made. Girls and old men
who have nothing else to do prepare this
kava by the following process: They
take the root and chew it until the juice
fills their mouth; then they discharge it
from the mouth into bowl More root
is put into the mouth and the liquid
disposed OF in the same way 1t has be-
come a popular drink It is ordered on
all occasions-at the opening and clos
ing of all socialities, before and after
all styles Of business. 1t is kava here
and kava there and kava everywhere.
And it is cleaner than most Of the
drinks Of other countries and has In it
no logwood, strychnine or nux vomica,
but pure and simple expectoration.
consider it as an Improvement on
most strong drinks 1t is said to be q
most delicious drunk Almost all visit
ors try this kava and see what it tastes

women In General Conference.

We have long accepted the coming
providential fact that our sisters will be
members of the general conference pres
emily We are inclined to think that
many who have declined to vote In an
nual conferences to make women eligi-
BILE have become more than willing to
reverse their judgments and vote to ad-
init them. Since it would appear that
the women are to become eligible, give
all the conferences the opportunity to
ordain it, and thus allow our sisters tc
enter the general conference, as they
will enter heaven abundantly. 49, Chi

are too greatly inclined to think that the

When John Sherman succeeded in dc.
monetizing silver in 1873, the New York
tinanciers, or rather the gold standard adj
herents, thought they had killed the silver
issue. When they secured the uncondi-
tonnl repeal of the Sherman act, they
were sure it was dead. And when the
president vetoed the seigniorage bill,
they sang requiem over the grave of
silver. But to day it is the onevital issue
of government, not only in this country,
but throughout the world. 1t is the one
question above all others which is most
interesting the masses and which most
nearly concerns them. They talk about
the east being unfriendly to silver, but it
is not the eastern masses who are SO dis
posed; it is the eastern corporate and
moneyed interests which are constantly
contending against the white metal. In
