At The Last Day.
The moment had come.

NC mOmSuJ hdu CONC.
The sea hushed its mighty roar
and the waves nestled down, calm
and motioDless.
The winds held themselves in
readiness at the four corners Of the
earth.
The trees stood still. Not a
branch or leaf shook.
The beasts Of the air. the fishes
of the sea, the fowls # the air made
no sound.
Men stood grim and silent-wait-
ing.
The universe was expectant.
But there was hitch somewhere.
Back through the boundless
space, past worlds on worlds, the
angel flew and Knocked at the gate
OF Heaven.
"What is wrong" he asked.
st. Peters voice was full of sub
dued excitement.
"Gabriel's wife says she blows
the horn, or it don't blow"

The peculiar stand taken by the
British government, in refusing to
re-enact the regulations in force
last year to prevent illegal sealing
IN Behring Sea, is harshiy criticised.
1t is practical notification of all
the measures for the protection Of
all the seals which were agreed upon
at the Paris arbitration, and may
result In the United States officially
declaring the treaty abrogated. The
action of the British government is
apparently entirely in the interest
OF the Canadian pelagc sealers,
and will result in the determination
OF the seals, unless some way Of
stopping the killing can be devised
by the government.

BoUFFE srATAsMANs HIP.


The state of Maine OH Saturday stood
on its hind legs in congress, Topped its
pendent ears and made the corridors of
the capitol resound with its megalopho
nous voice. Frye in the senate and
Boutelle in the house waved the Hawai-
ian rag with as much fervor as they
ever waved the bloody shirt in the days
that are happily gone by. What an abb
surd piece of bouffe politics it all is!
How these statesmen play to the gall
leries! They talk about SISTER repub-
lies" and the duty of the Americans to
lend helping hand. and what torrents
of scorn they pour upon ''royalty."
With what fierce Indignation they assal
President Cleveland for what they
termed his efforts TO restore the deposed
queen of Hawaii, this queen whom Har-
rison proposed to pension at $40, 900
year.
And what is this republic that they
pirate about? A self-imposed govern
ment, successful only because it
had the illicit aid of the United
States minister and forces, over
throwing a government with which we
had a treaty of amity and peace; an
Oligarchy erected on farcical election
in which not one tenth Of the voters on
the Islands were permitted to vote;
ratified at an election in which less than
1000 voters out of the 10000 population
Of the island were permitted to cast
their ballots. This is the republic which
Senator Frye says God may forgive
Senator George for Directing to Il reso-
luton of sympathy with, but the Amer
lean people never would"
And what is this revolution Or rebel-
lion that has called forth this explosion
of jingoism in congress? The account
of it comes 10 US entirely through gov
ernmental sources. Read to get rid of
the coloring and get at the fact, it re-
solves Itself into nothing revolutionary.
A few natives resist arrest by few
policemen. In the interchange of shots
that followed a few are wounded on
both sides, and one or two killed.
There is no indication whatever of any
concerted action on the part of the
natives, nothing to indicate any plot for
the overthrow of the government, and
nothing that arises to any greater dig
nifty than any row that may arise at any
| time in the Slums of any Of our cities.

FUT.LlTY OF REALISM.

1t is the unhappy fate OF most great
theories to be accepted as facts. Ad =
vanced, tentatively by few ruling in-
telleets as theories alone, these ideas
become unaSsailable truths TO one por-
ton of the illogical majority, indie
fensible fa!sehoods to the remainder.
There follows for years wordy war
about nothing. Where can we not find.
even now, the evolutionist and the anti
evolutionist? Yet Darwin never claimed
that evolution was proven. and un-
proven it remains.
There are at present many who be-
lieve in realism. They believe, in other
words, that it is possible to accurately
portray life in literature and art.
Trifllng distinctions aside, veritism is
S milar pretension. The great origina-
tor, or exponent. of these theories often
acquiesces in their acceptation as facts
in order to retain a position as the
''apostle" of a powerful movement. But
it is incredible that lola deceiVes him
self, or that TolStoi believes that he sets
forth an accurate picture Of society.
Realism Is impossible. In actual lite
Truth is always hidden. For this rea-
son. perhaps, was she portrayed by the
ancients as without raiment. of which
she has no need. To the most favored
are accorded but occasional and partial
glimpses of the undraped goddess. The
really true must be Identical to all. yet
how many observers ever agree about
the simplest matter? A few elementary
facts. chiefly of mathematical nature,
are evident to all. TO this day. how
ever, no QUE can tell the exact color OF
Napoleon's hair. We never, indeed,
observe the real facts, or all the
facts. in any connection; but each
of US sees several points with
more or less inaccuracy. Of three per-
sons meeting a woman, one remembers
her manner, another recalls her ]ewelry,
and all may differ about her complexion.
This is the realism of life.
if thing can be more than impos-
sble, so is realism i'll art. Even the
stage lacks the great factors of fact
and time. \ man silently stabs another
in the back. The wounded man falls,
the assailant disappears, and neither
uttcrs sound. In actual life this would
horrify the spectator; at first. because
it was a real assault, or later in Coll
nection with the gruesome conse-
ouences. The drama. however, cannot
adopt this unostentatious murder scene.
TIE knowledge on the part Of the
audience that the crime is merely acted
4
ally afford time for the development OF
subsequent details. Hence the words,
the action, the climax Of theatrical
