The appropriations are ia excess of those
Of the Fifty-frst Congress. which was de-
risiyely called the billion-dollar Congress.
The SIS, coo saved on pensions GER
tainly does not cut any figure in reducing
the total. There is another point where
the SIS. 600 might have been worked in
TO good advantage. Now is the time when
everything is cheap and labor scarce, 10
push the construction of vessels for the
new navy. But nothing to speak of is
being done in that way. The first two
yea rs of Mr.. CleVeland's second term are
likely TO form a conspicuous blank in the
history Of the construction of American
naval vessels. II is very generally ad-
mitted that governments and large cor
poratio ms which have acquired control of
leading industries should not show the
white feather in times Of business depres-
sion. A good many rich men, who are
often characterized as soulless, have kept
their employees at work for months past at
some oss to themselves. But the Govern
ment goes into its cave until the storm has
blown over.

Pc ARL hARb0R.

The report that the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii contem plated treaty
with Great Britain by which American
rights to Pearl Harbor would be bargained
away was doubtless started for effect.
Article4 Of the treaty of 1876. which the
Senate sub-Finance Committee proposed
to abrogate after years notice. contains
the following provision:
1t is agreed on the part OF his Hawaiian Ma
jesiy thar, so long as this treaty shall remain in
force he VIII not lease or otherwise dispose Of
or create any lien upon any port, harbOr or
other territory In his dominions, or grant any
special privileges or rights to therein TO any
other power, State or Government.
So long as the treaty remains in force,
but no longer. The Senate subcommittee
proposed to give the Hawaiian Govern
ment notice that after one year that Gov
ernment would be free to make its ports
rendezvous for the ships Of our enemy in
time OF war. Such a notice would be
equivalent to q general suspension of the
relations which have been maintained be-
tween the islands and the United States
since 1876. The ostensibe reason for the
sbrogaton of the treaty is to save the duty
on Hawaiian sugar. Under the House
bill sugar was free. Hawaiian sugar
would consequently have no advantage
over the sugar from any other foreign
country. But when duty is put on sugar
Hawaiian sugar is on the same footing as
American sugar. There appears TO be
men in the Senate who would sell all
American interest in the islands for the
trifle Of money which might easily be COL
lected from European goods that compete
with American goods In our market

A CRUEL DECEPTION.

Last summer at the Worlds Fair in Chi
eago about %, 600 persons kissed a stone
which was supposed to have come from
Barney Castle in Ireland. The number
would undoubtedly have been greater but
for the fact that the stone was in the form
of concession and contact with 1t cost 10
cents. The Collector of Customs comes
out now with the information that the
stone never came from Ireland at all. II
was dug up out of a street in Chicago,
placed in a box which had come over from
Ireland and duty was paid TO repre-
sentative of the Government. The object
OF making this report to the Treasury De-
partment at the present time does not
appear. The trick had been played, and
while %. 900 persons were defrauded the
Government was not. Still the report is
doubtless true. While Collectors OF Gus
toms sometimes play practical jokes in
their capacity as individuals they do not
trifie with the Government. ID fact, the
Government as a Government has no sense
of bumOr.

LOPSlDED.

A question asked in Parliament op
Thursday brought out the official state
ment that the regulations of the Paris
tribunal had not fsrce or validity upon
British subjects until law had been
enacted by the British Government enforc-
ing them. The American Berlng Sea feet
could therefore only operate TO prevent
American sealers from violating American
laws. AS matters now stand anybody can
take hand in sea-catching except the
people of the nation 10 which the seals
naturally belong. 1t took a long time 10
reach this lofty position, but we are safely
there at last.

STRIKERS OF PUBLIC DUTY.

In the March number of the Forum Mr..
Il. l.. Godkin reprosches the educated class
OF Americans for their apathy on public
affairs. The reproaeh is well deserved.
Men who have had liberal education and
who enter active life as merchants or law
yers or doctors or other professionals are
only too prone to neglect their civic duties
and to concentrate their energies on their
own business. They seem to forget that
they owe duty TO the community as well
as 10 themselves and their families, and
they voluntarily relinquish the control of
public affairs to those who are least fitted
TO conduct them. Mr.. Godkin might have
made his paper much stronger than it is.
A man Of ripe parts. broad mind aud fine
education says that be weighs no more al
the polls than one who is ignorant, shal-
low and unaccusiomed to reason. he OBJ
serves that his class is outnumbered by
the less favored class as one TO ten.
Therefore be argues that his efforts g.
make bis influence felt would be thrown
away and he had better spare himself the
exeriion. Hersin he is derelict TO his duty.
The masses are always led by q few minds.
If intelligent and educated minds patri-
they are entitled the masses will follow
and pursue a correct direction. But if the
enlightened minds selfshly shirk the re-
spon sibility of leadership and let things
drift it can we'll be expected that the
masses will sometimes follow ignorant or
corrupt leadership, and error and stupid
ity and narrow prejudice will be apt to
rule the day.
No man has right TO hide the light that
is in him. When he sees things going
wrong he is bound TO step forward an1 say
so. He may not succeed in setting them
right. Error often prevails for a time.
Men are often wiser than their generation.
But he has done his duty, and quite often
a wise word spoken frankly germin mates
in minds which were at first inclined to
reject 1t and fructiies in a popular ad-
hesion to truth. II conquers adherents i'm
perceptibly and makes converts among
people who are unconscious of being in
fuenced. Mankind does not take to folly
or ignorance because it likes them. Il
does so because it Is not taught any better.
Erroneous opinions flourish because those
who can demonstrate their error are too
apathetic to undertake the demonstration.

TENNYSON AND SHELLEY.
The Fifth Lecture on the Century

The fifth in the series OF university extension
lectures on the roeIs of the nineteenth century
was delivered In the Hopkins Art Association
building yesterday afternoon by Professor w.
ID. Armes A short account OF the character
istics of Shelley served as prelude to the lee
tuTe. Shelley was a man, the speaker declared,
who hac aspirations, ideals and opinions that
were Intellectual. His schemes came TO naught.
His poetry was OF the future. lis power Of
ideallzatioD, his broad love of humanity lis
contempt Of convention and his revolutionary
nature were touched upon. Shelley's power OF
idealiZatiOD was such, said Professor ArInes,
that his friends became marvel> OF goodness,
bis enc mics monsters OF evil. Other poets sur
passed him in the power OF narrative, others
were grea er as dramatists, but as a lyric poet

D ln his lectnIe upon TennysOn the speaker
told Of The calm. uneventful life OF The poet,
which gave little necessity for comment, none
for explanation or apology.
The early Drecoclty OF the poet was illus.
fraied. The remark of Tenuyson when a child
OF years: 81 hear a voice tnaPs speaking in
the wind" served as an example. The earlier
poems and the criticisms which appeared In
the reviews were touched upon. The poems
which won him recognition. the laureateship

length. Tie ornate character OF his early work

There does not seem to be much national
