MRS. BESANT AND THEOSOPHY.

According to an article in late
issue of the Independent, Theo-
sophy, as represented by Mrs.
Besant seems to be identified with
Hinduism. In response to an in
quiry in Madras Mrs. Besant is re-
ported to have said, II am a
Hindu in my religious belief. 1
believe in the gods and in the sub
lime philosophy of the Upani-
shads." The writer of the indie
pendent says further: "She every
where urges the people to abandon
their yearning for western thought
and Christianity, and to return to
their divine ancestral faith and to
the sublime philosophy Of their
sacred books" Mrs. Besant seems
to have an especial grudge against
Christianity, for though she re-
CARDS Jesus rs a sage" that is
presumably a possessor of secret
truth, she regards conversion to
Christianity as a more serious mis-
fortune than atheism.
1t is not hard to understand that
even so talented a woman as Mrs.
Besant can believe that there is
salvation to the world in return
to the tenets of a decrepit religion.
1t is the characteristic of enthu-
siasm to lose the sense for reality,
for what has life in it and the prom
Use of success. The sympathetic
reader can fud, beneath the mono
tonous repetitions and stereotyped
formulate of the Upanishads, much
that is poetic and even sublime. 1t |
would never occur, however, to an
ordinary reader to imagine that
the world could be regenerated by
any revival of the Upanishads. An
however, who had
stepped himself in its mysticism
Until the external world had grown

SOUND DOCTRINE.

The Roman Catholic church, az
represented by Bishop Watterson,
of Ohio, and the Apostolic Dele
gate, Mgr. Satolli, has dealt blow
to the influence Of the saloon in
American politics, in at least one
diocese. In the American Grocer
of July 18th, the following quota
ton is made from a pastoral letter
of Bishop Watterson's:
hereby withdraw my appreciation
from any and every Catholic society
or branch or division thereof in this
diocese that has a liquOr-dealer or sa-
loon-keeper at it's head or anywhere
among its officers; and suspend every
such society itself from the rank and
privileges as a Catholic society until
il ceases to be so differed. L again
publish the condition, without which
for some years / have declined to APP
prove of new societies or new branches
of old organizations in this diocese,
namely: That no one one who is en-
gagged either as principal or agent in
the manufacture or sale of intoXicat-
ing liquors can be admitted to MEM
beTship. You will make this rule
known to the organizations in your
parish, and have it faithfully OBJ
served. 1t IL sure, however, to COM
mend itself to every Tight-spirited and
healthy association of Catholic gen
tlemen.
# there are salOOu-keepers in your
parish who call themselves Catholics,
and yet carry on their business in
forbidden and disedifying way, or sell
on Sundays either openly or under
any sort of guise or disguise, in viola
ton of civil law, and to the hurt of
the order and religion and the scandal
of any part of the community, you
will refuse them dissolution, should
they, perchance, come to receive the
sacraments, unless they promise to
cease offending in these or other ways
and to conduct their buainess blame
lessly, if they can, or get out of it and
keep out of it altogether.
This letter created some dissat-
isfaction as might have been eX-
pected, and an appeal was taken.
Mgr. Satolli confirmed the Bishop.

WATER WANTED.

The water famine has brought
down on the heads Of the Govern
ment anathemas from all quarters.
1t must be confessed that these
anathemas are not altogether un-
deserved. The Government has
been somewhat dilatory in provid-
ing against the recurrence Of the
annual water famine. With the
improvidence which is supposed TO
be the peculiar characteristic of
the aboriginal race, they have en-
joyed the moisture when wet, and
folded their hands in a fatalistic
apathy, when dry.
The curse of the Honolulu wafer
works system has been the iufatua-
ton of the rulers with reservoirs
and rain water. The study of
elaborate maps and estimates and
calculations has turned the head
Of one Government after another,
and the result has been that, while
Ministers were Tapped in gorgeous
visions Of chains of reservoirs
stringing Nuuanu Valley, and
costing, fortunately only on paper,
fabulous sums, the town has gone
dry. Now. a pump has been or
dered, and it is to be hoped that
The long-tried and deeply discred-
tied mudpond system will yield to
a more rational plan.
The wells of Eva have been
flowing for four years, and its
pumps have poured out upon the
thirsty plains of honolulu enough
water daily to supply the wants of
a city as large as San Francisco.
With this example at the very
door, what possible excuse can
there be for any more water fam
ines?
A tenth part of the power In the
great pumps at Eva, applied to
group of two or three artesian
wells, will insure to Honolulu an
abundant supply of pure, fresh
water in the dryest days of August
no less than in the midst of the
winter rains. The problem is
simple one, and there is no reason
why there should ever be another
water famine in Honolulu.

cases here looks as though il
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 Isl custom,
and citizens of that rationale
ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed by the 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 q
change in the form of govern
ment nullifies 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
tired and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. If they are
not tried within q 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 DO all and more than |
another will at the same price,
it seems reasonable to decide
that the more versatile is the
one to be used. The I'D. & D."

They Waited for Him.

Some years ago number OF gen
tlemen visited the mountains of
Colorado for the purpose of fishing.
Among the party was a bishop of
an eastern diocese of the Episcopal
church. Fishing was the sole oc-
cupation and amusement of the
visitors; SO when Sunday came,
as there was nothing else to do, the
layman of the party got out their
rods, preparatory to casting II line.
But they were in quandary as to
the bishop. They did not want to
hurt his feelings by leaving him
behind, nor did they want to offend
his religious principles by inviting
him to so fishing on Sunday
Finally one of then plucked up
courage and told him of their di-
lemma, whereupon the good man

said that he would tell them of
happening in his earlier life which
he thought rather apropos.
Some years ago" he said, when.
| had charge of Il parish, I was
awakened about two o'clock one
morning, and upon inquiring who
was there, heard mans voice reply
that he was there with Miss Blank,
and that they wanted to get married.
| reasoned with him about the un-
timely hour, but to no avail; he
meant to get married right then
and there. So l put on my clothes
and gown, and went downstairs
and began the marriage service.
Everything went along as dicta-
ted in the service till | asked the
man: wilt thou take this woman
to be thy welded wife?' to which
he replied: What M | here fur?'"
