Had Her New Shoes shined.

Two modest young women, quietly dress
ed, crossed Broadway. The young women
had very rosy cheeks. They may have
been from the country, or they may live in
n remote suburb Of Brooklyn. One wore
gold trimmed eyeglasses. As her toes peep
ed in and out from under her dress every
body could see that she wore brand new
shoes. She could see them through her
eyeglasses, and they worried her. They
spoiled the effect Of her fine dress and coat
and bonnet. The shoes were entirely in
nocent Of polish. Dull black, they had
never been shined.
On the north side Of Park place, near
Broadway, stood a bootblack's chair. OF
q sudden impulse the girl with the eye
glasses jumped into the chair and seated
herself. -She put her ~feet-very pretty lit.
tle feet-on ths pedals, ard the matter Of
fact bootblack set to work to shine-h her
shoes. The other girl stood bravely by. A
great many people passed, and the unusu-
al sight affected them differently. Some
of the women turned up their noses when
they saw the girl in tho chair. The
thoughtless men who passed grinned. One
man scowled and said, "Humph! they II
be in the barber chairs next" Another
looked on admiringly and complimented
tho young IN thus: "There's a girl
with good sense"
When the two young women saw they
were attracting attention, they blushed
until their cheeks were evcn redder. Then
the girl with the glasses recovered her
self possession and stared stonily at those
who stared at her. 1t was noticeable that
the bootblack, perhaps from sheer force Of
habit, turned up the hem of his custom
ers' dress about an inch. When he had
put a "patent leather shine" on her shoes,
the young m jumped down from the
chair, paid him and walked away with her
friend, looking at her shoe tips with the
greatest satisfaction.-New York World,

Rev. Hyde's Christianity.

Rev. Charles NJ. Hyde, in a
letter written from Honolulu to
the New York Independent saws:
Let no one heed the whining
complaints about the disregard
OF indefeasible hereditary rights
of selfish misrule and social
degeneration. The new Hawaii
has her face turned to the light
from heaven that shines for all
Her ear is attuned to the call of
Gods providence to come up
higher and look abroad. Her
hands are ready for the labor
now devolyed upon her of laying
deep in political righteousness
the foundation of new social
order. Let it rise, and be all that
human nature should be, a tenn
pie in which to consecrate all
work, all hopes. all life to the
service of God in the develop
ment of a regenerated humanity
through the grace OF our Lord
Jesus Christ, source and outflow
OF ali that is noble. lovely. and
good In any man. or any race.
Ihis has a pretty sound, but to
cur minds religious reform. the
foundation OF which il laid in
disregard of the principles OF
justice and of the people for
whose benefit the reform is
intended is neither good
Christianity nor enlightened
policy. Lynn Ps~ss.

toward the gentleman. from the

commissioner. The annexation

sought to break him down IN
public confidence and esteem,
and they stopped at nothing
that promised success in the
business. But his report vim
dieates itself and its maker. He
has been thorough and impartial;
and he has shown that the pro-
visional government was the
result of conspiracy between a
few wealthy and ambitious citi-
zens. denizens and aliens. and
the minister resident. representing
the United States. Members
of the provisional government
were examined, and made this
perfectly plain. The fellows
who sought to overthrow the
monarchy were nearly all official
beneficiaries of that government,
who thought they could get more
out of a new regime than was for
them in the existent order. They
represented little besides them
selves and their ambitions. They
are not bad men, as men go, but
they have resorted to the most
arrant deception to carry their
point. All this knavery. all the
ludicrous cowardice of the junta
called 1.-The committee of safety"
all the rascality of Stevens and
his nasty treachery, would been
hidden from the light, had the
annexation scheme succeeded.
We say they are not peculiarly
bad, because we see they have
done very much as most revolu-
tionists have done in the past;
but the United States owes 1t to
itself to clear its skirts of COM
plicity in this movement. 1t can
only do this by undoing what was
accomplished Jan. IA, 1898. by
a gross misuse of its diplomatic
influence and its military power,
at Honolulu. This should be
done, though it required ten
times the force to restore the
status quo ante, that was unlaw
fully used to produce that con-
dition. Chattanooga Times.

members of the Anti-Asiatic

Mr.. Stevens's Explanation.
Ex. Minister Stevens made

~ ~ ~
sneeeh to a Boston audience
Yesterday evening. Mr. Stevens
had a good deal to say about the
incontestible virtues of the Amer
lean flag, about the heroes who
sleep in the Southern graves and
about other matters of more or
less general interest. But touch
ing the rerl point at 'ssne IN the
Haua ian controversy he was as
silent as Tammany organ on
lie defeat OF Maynard. Mr.
Stevens announced dramatically
that at least three questions zap
pertain to our interest in Hawaii.
There is the question OF Christ
ian civilization" he said,
There is the question OF Amer
lean future power in the Pacific
and the third involves the issue
of responsible Government under
the American flag, in harmony
with pledged American faith.
1t is almost unnecessary to
point out again that in lodging
the main question Mr.. Stevens
does not strengthen his case.
Christian civilization is highly
desirable. but the Minister of the
United States is not expected TO
enforce it at the point of the bay
onet. The matter of American
power in the Pacific does not
justify policy of land grabbing
without provocation and without
reasonable justification. And
there is nothing in the logic of
American history" or in Amer
lean precedent to call for the
seizure and annexation of terri
tory 1000 miles distant from the
nearest point on the American
continent. An appeal to a
lingo spirit that may at times
agitate the American breast Is
successful only so lar as it is
evasive of the real merits of the
issue, and as it deceives the man
who has sort of fsmbouyant
enthusiasm which he takes for
patrio tism. As he comes to his
proper senses and looks at the
matter calmly, he finds under all
this confusing rubbish about the
flag and heroes and American
power and Christian civilization,
the pertinent question: Was the
power of the United States en-
ployed without authority and
without justification?
In one proposition Mr. Stevens
is right. The Hawaiian question
is not party issue and properly
cannot be made one. All jingo
lists are not Republicans and all
Republicans are not jingoists
Doubtless Mr.. Stevens believed
that in acting in conjunction with
the insurrectionists he would
be sustained by the administra-
ton and indorsed by the Amer
lean public He counted on the
first flush of ''jingo' enthusiasm
and not on the sober second
thought that would follow the
calm and logical presentation of
the facts. This is what apparent
ly is rattling Mr.. Stevens and
lending to his public utterances
of so much that is irrelevant and
foreign to the question .-Kansas

Zacharias are just such as might
gain him, the confidence of the
sugar trust, but if that combina-
ton leave their safes open, we
doubt very much that the gallant
colonel will lose much time in
fighting them, but rather adopt
his old methods and get one
more manuahi plantation. As a
matter of fact has it ever occurred
to the able, experienced and indus
tr.ious politician who is endorsed
by the Star quartette of
directors that both the
powerful lobby of loyalists as
well as Mr.. Thurston and the
able etc. politician to be sent to
Washington would arrive there
more than one day behind the
fair. Our impression-and the
Star knows that Serene Bishop
says that we are remarkably well
informed-is, that the Hawaiian
question is a thing of the past
as far as Congress is concerned.
The Democratic party votes in the
House of Representatives, we
predict were solid as usual
and endorsed President Cleve-
land-as usual. We also dare
to prophecy that by this time the
mind of the American neople and
the columns of the American press
are overful with the tariff and
nothing but the tariff. The
Hawaiian question has done very
well as a cause on which the
Republican party could make an
attack on the Democrats, but,
after all, the question was too
unimportant to make it ground
for decisive battle. The Hawai-
ian skirmish is over. The Re-
publican either retreated or
We're routed after having fired
out their guns, and let loose their
steam; the real battle will take
place on a different ground and
that will be the tariff-a ques-
ton which raises numerous
points of vital interest
to the American nation as
a whole. But. if our pre-
dictions turn out rightly. or
wrongly. we believe, it the duty
of the P. G, not to neglect any
opportunity. and by shipping
Mr.. Walter G.. Smith to Wash
ington and let him down easy in
the role of a special commissioner
the powers that be will make a
great political stroke and relieve
themselves (and Emmeluth) of
much present annoyance and
much future trouble.
