CoREA's NEW CIVILIZATION.

Premonitory evidences OF the
advance of western civilization
influenced by Japan are con
tanned in q series of resolu
tons agreed to by the Corear
Council of State. These resolu.
tions call for the doing away of the
distinction between the patrician
and plebeian ranks and that men
shall be selected for Office accord
ing to their ability and without
distinction of birth. The law
which renders the family and con-
nections of a criminal liable for
punishment is to be abrogated and
the offender alone punished. Early
marriages are strictly forbidden
and slavery abolished. AS it is
difficult to test ability by literary
essays alone, the throne is to be
memorialized to alter the method
of selecting officials. A reform in
the method Of collecting taxes is
also proposed and a specified
statement of the use to which all
government funds are put is to be
required.
That the legal form Of higher
civilization is advancing cannot be
denied in the light of foregoing
facts, but whether the officials who
are in many instances practically
cutting off their own heads, will
enforce the new order of affairs is
quite another question. The new
regulations are destroying time
honored customs, and the avidity
with which Cereans accept the
new order, as compared with
the example set by Japan, will
be closely watched by those in
terested in the study of the social
characteristics of the Oriental ma
tons.
Homer B. Hubert, a writer of
the Corean Repository believes that
the idea of class distinction ceas-
ing to exist ia Utopian. He says,
eve Westerners talk about work
ing up, but in Corea the great !
trouble is that man of the upper
classes, however desperate his cir
cumstances, cannot throw off his |
coat and start in at the foot of the |
ladder. This resolution is not so
much a law as a statement of opin-
ion designed to give direction to
public opinion and gradually work
it up to point where the enuncia-
ton of such principle will be un-
necessary"
Of the selection of officials on
he basis of true merit, Mr.. Hubert
says, "Coreans all knew that the
literary examination was farce,
nd that the man who could pay
most handsomely or who had the ,
ar of one Of the influential officials

| IS q wolf TO MS ISllOW man, one
man preys on another" The
above phrase is one, which at
the present time is of consid-
cradle moment to the people
of the Hawaiian Islands. In
the good old days of long
ago" we could leave our
homes, and if occasion requir-
ed even our places of business,
and feel that everything would
be as it was when we left; but
times have changed, and with
the rapid advancement of
these Islands towards a closer
relation with the United States,
the attention that we attract
abroad brings all classes of
persons to our shores - the
Tourist, the Capitalist, the Mer-
chant, the Mechanic and Clerk,
and the Burglar. Speaking of
the latter class of individuals,
there are several branches, viz:
the Safe Breaker, the Train
Robber, and the House Bur
glar.
At the present time the
house burglar is the one who
has graced our city with his
presence, and to forestall his
becoming too familiar it is nee
essary to use such means as
will keep him at a respectable
distance. Revolvers and clubs
are all very well when it comes
to a hand-to-hand fight, but
you possibly may go too far
and be amenable to the law.

consider to be the best ever

A WARMING.
Secretary McKeen Says Don't Pay Exorbtant
Prices For Creamery Plants.

But short time ago it was reported
that Secretary B. Walker McKeen Of The
State board of agriculture had been sued
for SO, 600 by one n. B. Baker, who was
supposed to represent Chicago fem
known as W. S. Davis & Company. 1t
seems Baker was pushing a creamery
scheme in Calais and the secretary of the
Maine board of agriculture wrote letters
to the farmers and people of Washington
county warning them that g no enterprise
which promised ~ per cent dividend
to stockholders is genuine" One of the
letters fell into the hands of Baker and
he has entered libel suit against Mr..
McKoen.
The secretary does not propose to drop
the matter and has just issued another
large circular in which he speaks as fol-
| lows:
For the good of the farmers of Maine,
| we propose to continue our crusade against
| the Western creamery promoter , not
withstanding the repeated threats, and
efforts at intimidation to which we have
beep subjected. Believing that We are
right and that the facts are wholly on
our side, we have made a still further
study of the situation and now present
to YOU some information gathered by our-
selves and others, relative to the way the
business is conducted. and the results
which usually follow the establishing
their plants, which we did not have in OF T
possession at the time our last warning
was published, or when we visited ARGOS

We are also authorized to say that Prof.
" Fl. Jordan, director of the Maino ex-
neriment station, fully agrees with us
| in our opinions as expressed in our warn
ings and elsewhere.
The circular contains quotations from
many of the leading agricultural publica-
tions of the United States, touching up
on the establishment Of creamery plants
and presents large volume of detailed
information on this subject of Importance

present time.

The Fathers Lesson.
A little lad sat in his own high chair,
Blue we're his eyes and golden his hair;
But the sunny smile had flown from his face,
And an ugly frown had taken its place.
The table was laden with dainty food
Bat nothiu could tempt his naughty mood;
Il is tunbler sparkled with water clear.
While that of his father was filed with beer.
There lay the grievance; and soon he said
with n saucy toss of his curly head;)
Il mean to grow up as fast as l can.
And I'll always drink beer when Pm mani"
But the mothers cheek grew blanched with
fear,
And she glanced from her boy to the glass of
beer;
Till now it had only beverage been,
But her eyes were opened, and lurking within
She saw germs of folly and crime
Rapidly swelling meath the touch OF time;
h idiog all trace OF a once good name,
Reveling in drunkard's shame.
She glanced at her husband! his face was sad,
The willful words of his little lad
II ad reached his heart; and he stopped to
think;
30 God! am tempting my boy to drink?
"In me it awakens no craving for more,
And stronger spirits l loathe and abhor;
But my son may be tempted though l be
strong,
And through my example he may go wrong.
"Please Cod he shall never be able to say
Il began to love it when, day by day,
l saw my father his tumbler fill,
And knew that in him it worked no ILL.,"
Then meeting the anxious gaze Of his wife,
For the sake of our child, and because it is
right
To Shield his life from drinks curse and
blight?"
So the pledge was signed; and that lurking
fear
Vanished for aye with the glass of beer.
And the boy grew up to make them blest,
And took for his motto water is best"
