Now comes the suggestion that
Mexico assist the Cubans in throw
ing off the Spanish yoke and fin
ally annex the island. In one
sense this would prove beneficial
to Cuba as it would undoubtedly
hasten the day of its freedom, but
under Mexican control it is doubt
full whether the disturbed political
conditions would be improved.
Free from Spanish control, Cubans
would be free to quarrel among
themselves, which, judging from
other Spanish American countries,
they would be prompt to take
advantage. If there is a possibi-
lily of Cuba entering the Union of
States, there is no doubt of the best
policy being, to fight its battles
alone and finally come under the
influence of a strong power that
will grant the freedom sought and
at the same time keep the disturb
ing elements in check.

IT. Is a matter to be deeply re-
GREETED that a man with the abili-
ties of DR.. A. B. Lyons is prepar-
ing to leave the country with his
family at an early date. He was
born upon the soil of Hawaii and
is at one with all its traditions and
best interests. The results of his
scientific education and attain
ments acquired with distinction in
the States, together with his love
of nature and of study, have placed
him in a position here which, if he
is allowed to leave, can hardly be
filled. His thorough knowledge of
the geology, the botany, the climatic
influence and the natural resources
of the islands has rendered valu-
able assistance to education, to
society and to the Government, and
if favoring circumstances could
arise in season to induce him to re-
main, it would be counted great
good to the land of his birth, to
which he returned some years ago
to render faithful and loving SER
vices.

THE IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

I Mr.. Thurston asks "Shall we
have an Improvement Assoeia-
tony We believe that not one dis
senting voice would be heard if the
association were brought into being
and that public sentiment would
be heartily in favor of the move.
But it must be remembered that to
make such an association a sue
cess, it must receive active approx
al and not a quiescent sanction
that is ready to see the good work
go on if some one else will perform
the hard and sometimes thankless
task of organizing and keeping the
people interested. When DR..
Northrup was in the city, he urged
upon the community the splendid
work that might be done by such
an association and gave an inter
esting history of what has been &C
complished in many cities and
towns in the States. The leading
light to act upon the suggestion
and enlist the scattered forces of
appreciation in an organized move
ment were wanting and for the
time being the matter was dropped.
Since Mr.. Thurston has again at
tempted to wake up the people to
the subject, it surely should not be
allowed to relapse into theoreti-
cal sleep in which nothing practi-
cal is accomplished.
4 The value to Honolulu and the
country at large of a wide awake
Improvement Association cannot
be over estimated Once its power
for substantial improvement is
shown in this city it will be but a
short time before branch organiza-
tions are started on the other ISL
ands, where, as is the case in Homo
lulu, there is ample material for
the landscape gardener and sanitary
engineer to say nothing of the num-
erous minor details in the way of
improving streets and keeping up
the general appearance of the town
which are to often neglected on &C
count of the failure of the people
to ask for and obtain a better con-
dition by organized effort.
Mr.. Thurston has asked for an
expression of public sentiment and

something more than consent that

The meaning of free coinage
of silver under present condi-
tons is The right of any one
to deposit silver at a United
States mint and have every

in its bullions form, 81 cents,
stamped one dollar which
dollar shall be a full legal
tender at its face value in pay
ment of all debts and obliga-
tons Of all kinds both public
and private, in the United
States.
The dishonesty of thus Civ
ing a coin, which is worth 81
cents, the legal debt paying
value of one dollar does not
need to be enlarged upon.
From the foundation of the
government of the United
States, the effort was made to
establish a coinage approx
mating as closely as possible
to the commercial ratio of the
two metals.
Both Hamilton and Jefer-
son urged the necessity of ad-
herring to market ratio. Never
until the modern silverite came
to the front was it seriously
proposed to mint dollars with
full debt paying power worth
only half their face value.
If the people of the United
States feel that the prosperity
of the nation, and any one sec
ton particularly, demands the
coinage of two metals, let sill
yer and gold be placed on
such.a ratio that they can sub |
sist on their merits. There is |
more silver than gold, so why |
should the silverites be afraid

Some Hints Tor the Kitchen.

Tins in the kitchen feel the magic OF
mineral oil, and where long securing was
necessary to keep them bright and shining
in the past today the up to date cook dips
her flannel cloth in kerosene, then into pow
dercd limo or common whiting and with
these scours her tins into likeness of the
kerosene cleaned mirrors and all with only
half the labor OF course they want a
thorough rinsing in hot suds aftcrward to
free them of all odor, but the real toll of
securing is what she breads and not the
quick and easy rinsing.
If she has an oilcloth on her floor, she
adds a gill of kerosene to her securing wa
ter, dips a mop i'll the pail, passes it quick
ly over tho painted surface, dries it with a
flannel cloth, and with this slight effort
leaves it bright and polished almost rs
new, ard an oilcloth treated in this man
ner will outlast one scrubbed in the old
heart has gone nigh to breaking in despair
over painted floors and balconies which
showed every foot mark and We're only
made dingy and dismal by all efforts to
wash them out. A flannel cloth wrung
out in cold water and well sprinkled with
kerosene makes painted floor almost as
easy to keep clean as one OF the costly hard
woods, and the odor of the cleansing will
pass completely away In half an hour. On
balconies, indeed, or where the windows Of
the room are left open during the process
the smell evaporates SO quickly as not to
be not iced at all.

"Oh, it's Methodist kitten, urged the
boy, but the kitten did not change homes
that day. A day or two later the Mctho-
dist minister was calling on the Congrega-

appeared at the study door
'Plcase, sir, would you like to buy a

BURNS AND SCOTT.
The Latter Tells of His Meeting With
Burns In Youth.

The "gray metropolis Of the north"
even under the inclemencies of the late Sc
we're winter, reillustrated the classic appre-
citation of Scotland-perfervidu ingeni-
UNI Scotorum. The Royal Scottish acad-
envy, in Edinburgh, was so to saw. the
shrine of worshipers-or, at least. enthu-
siasts-because of rising Scotch artists
most striking painting toward realizing
this meeting of Scotland's two greatest
poets, told with such inestimabie humility
by Scott In his autobiography ''Reminis-
cences.'
AS for Burns. Scott wrote, 81 may
truly say Virgilium vidi tantum I was
LAD OF 10, in 1857, when he first came
10 Edinburgh, but had sense and feeling
enough to be much interested in his poetry
and would have given the world to know
him. but l had very little acquaintance
with any literary people and still less with
the gentry of the west country, the two
sets that he most frequented Mr.. Thorn
as Orlerson was at that time clerk of my
fathers. He knew Burns and promised to
ask him to his lodgings to dinner, but had
no opportunity to keep his word, other
wise might have seen more of this dis
tlnguished man.
= As 1t was, l saw him one day at the
late venerable Professor Fergusons, where
there were several gentlemen of literary
reputation, among whom l remember the
celebrated MIR. Dugald Stewart. OF course
the youngsters sat silent and listened.
The only thing that l remember which
was remarkable in Burns manner was the
effect produced upon him by "a print of
Burnbury's, representing a soldier lying
dead in the snow, his dog sitting in misery
on one side and on the other his widow
with a child in her arms. These lines
were written beneath
| 'Cold on Canadian hills or Mindens plain,
Perhaps that parent wept her soldier slain.
| Bent Yer her babe, her eyes dissolv'd in dew,
The big drops mingling with the milk he drew
Gave the sad presage of his future years,
The child of misery baptized in tears.
BURNS seemed much affected by the
print, or rather by the ideas suggested to
| his mind. He actually shed tears. He
asked whose the lines were, and it CHANGED
| that nobody but myself remembered that
| they occur in o half forgotten poem of
Langborno's called by the unpromising
| title of The Justice of the Peace
whispered my information to friend
present, who mentioned it to Burns, who
rewarded mo with a look and q word
which, though OF mere civility, then re-
ceived and still rccollect with very great
| pleasure"
| The "print" thus immortalized hung
in its old place until comparatively recent
| ly in the house of Sir Adam Ferguson. On
| his death it came into the possession of the
| late Sir William Chambers Of Tho Jour
nal, and now forms part of his bequest in
the Chambers institute, PEBBLES.
