There seems to be no reason for longer
imposing Minister Willis upon the govern
'lhent of the Hawaiian islands. He is per-
soma non grata to eli parties there. He is
a small calibred man, selected to do work
small in everything save its Infamous char
acter. There does not appear to be any
further use for him since Congress has
repudiated the purposes of his mission. BY
all means let him be called home an per-
mitted to sink into the obscurity that was
his before President Cleveland made him a
victim Of his Hawaiian infamy.

Six years at Sing Sing for John Y. Nc
Kane is not day too much for man who

interest to do. When the vote of a
whole community becomes q commodity

Of one man that man is menace to good

There seems to be a growing sentiment
in favor of military training in our common
schools. The military demand in this
country is for an intelligent body of ci,i-
zens, sufficiently versed in military tactics
and discipline to be fitted 70, any emer-
eency, and yet to secure this force without
disturbing the avocations of peace or fixing
drain on the national PURGE. 1t is thought
by many Of the most intelligent military
men that the training of American boys in
the manual of arms when they are at an
age where greater interest is taken in such
matters and when the physical exercise in
cident to the military training and the dis
cipline may prove most beneficial, best
meets the conditions.

The distress among the poor which has

deeds are rather the offspring of impulse

1t is quite time that the farmer began to
take stock. lie should count his cattle,
horscs, sheep and poultry. examine into
their condition, care for them, and husband
up his resources generally. This must be
done promptly, because great change
will almost Immediately come upon the
condition of the farmers. Produce from
foreign farms is to be admitted
free Of duty into the United States, causing
greater competition, more stuff in the mar
kets, and consequently lower prices. Manu-
featured goods from foreign countries are
to come in greater quantities, and many of
cur mills must be closed or run on part
time. This will lessen the demand for farm
produce. Thc people who have been work
ing in the mills will have less money to
spend, and, with the markets glutted with
foreign farm SUITS, prices will be very low.
The American farmer must be prepared.
