II Uncle Samuel ever places his
dexter hand on Hawaii and takes
it for his own, he will have to
people it with more provident
race than the present natives if he
ever gets revenue from it or secures
decent self government in it by
the people thereof. The natives
are very much Of a muchness with
the lilies OF the valley that
knocked out Of time the resplend-
emit glory of Solomon, for they toll
not neither do they spin, neither
was Solomon ever dressed as they
are. The state under the old re-
gime paid for everything and the
foreign taxes supported the state.
There is no stamina in the race and
education has as yet done nothing
for them, save to make those who
have been thus educated by chart
table whites more than usually
dooless and worthless, more adept
in cussedness.

Now that it is settled to the salts

Japan has drawn bead on China

down handsomely. 1t was an i'm

open mouthed in establishment
while the ceremony Of presentation
and reception went on. Japan is
making herself solid with China
and an alliance offensive and de-
iensive is certain to follow in the
not distant future. Already Japan
is accepted at the court Of China as
the peer of all the great powers,

governments, that all the interior
Of China be opened to missionary

sionarles to do their work of pro-
selyting unrestrained be insisted
upon at the lannon's mouth. Do
these people imagine that CONVEX
sion to a sincere acceptance Of the
dogmas Of their faith is going to
be genuine under such circum-
stances. 1t is time that the mil
lions Of the so.called Christian
world began to understand and re-
spect the hundreds of millions of

The talk about the County Officers AS
ISOLATION attempting to secure favorable
fee and salary legislation has brought in
its wake one or two rumors about attempts
to use Doodle. the presumption being, in
light of the circular issued by that asso-
citation, that a large sum has been raised.
A story told in the corridors of the
Denison last night that attempt had
been made to influence Senator Boyd, who
recently introduced a fee and salary bill
in the Senate. Senator Boyd was seen last
night and the following questions put to
him:
Has any officer of the County Officers
Association offered to influence you in any
way in matters respecting legislation?
mo officer of the association, said Sen
ator Boyd, has come to me with anything
of that sort. 1t is true that man came
to me and made some remarks which ex-
cited my indignation. L promptly told him
what 1 thought of any attempt of the kind
and warned him to speak of thr
subject to me again.
What were his remarks to your
"As near as l can remember. this man
called and said, in the course of the
conversation: Mr.. So and So (namng a
prominent member of the association said
the other day that there no reason
why Boyd, who is a poor man, should not
have a thousand dollars in order that he
may have a little more than enough to
pay his board during the session. They
knew i was poor man we'll enough, but
they didn't know the character of the
man they were trying to deal with. 1 in
dignantly resented the remarks, and have
heard nothing further about the matter.
Il can read in the new paper head lines
some of the thoughts of the editors but 1
want to say that this bill which I have in

great many letters from county officers

Mr.. Boyd stated that the Marion county
officers had shown no effort to influence

constantly condemned and berated on
the charge of thus discriminating be-
tween sinners. The accusation had
more basis once. perhaps, than it has
now. Mr.. Breckinridge's case is an inn
pressive object lesson, teaching the
falsity of the theory at the present
time. and the fact that no man can defy
the moral law with impunity. It's i'm
portance as lesson can hardly be over
estimated, but those whose sight goes
beyond the surface of things had no
need for such a proof of the Incorrect
ness and injustice of the hackneyed as
sertion that a rake has no difficulty in
entering good society, and is favorite
rather than otherwise even with good
women The proof of this is found on
to be found in the most select circles.
but they conceal their vices to the best
of their ability, knowing that if they do
not doors which they most desire to en-
ter will be closed to them. Instances
are frequent where men once of good
social standing are tabooed for immor-
atty. just as offending women are ta-
booed, and if such men seem to escape
deserved stigma oftener than the women
it is because they can so much more
readily hide their misconduct from the
knowledge of the public. When they
are found out they suffer social ostra-
cism as their erring sisters 10. 1t is be-
cause they take care not to be found
out that to the few people who are
aware of their guilt, and VINO assume
that the public knows of it, the double
standard of conduct seems to exist AS
a matter of fact there is no such double
standard in respectable, self-respecting
society.
