Another Yierr of Hnrtt.

The prevailing impression in this coun-
try is that Hayh is a badly governed
country; that its government is republic
can In name only; that revolutions are
very nearly as regular as the seasons,
and that in the majority Of uprisings
there is cause sufficient to justify them.
Indeed with some politicians the habit
has been to point to Hayti as an example
illustrating the incapacity Of the negro
race for self government.
Mr. Henry NJ. Smythe Of Virginia, the
consul Of this government at Port au
Prince. says all Of these and similar no
tions with regard to Hayti are erron-
eous. He went to Port au Prince having
the orthodox Virginia opinion Of the
black race and with misgivings as to
how he would find things at his post. He
was agreeably surprised to find at the
Haytian capital a circle of society that
will compare in wealth, intelligence and
refinement with that of any other capt.
tai, Notwithstanding the color Of the
people. In fact. Mr.. Smythe says. he
soon lost sight Of the color line, and &C
cepted and dispensed customary hcspi-
talities without the slightest social
qualm. The better class Of Haytians
send their children to Europe to be edu-
Gated, and the President of the republic
speaks pure Partisan French.
Mr.. Smythe thinks, however. that there
is a difference between the racial types
Of the Haytian native and the negro of
the United States. Concerning the Hay
tians he says. MANY of them have
faces of true Grecian cast, and among
the Creoles 1 have seen many young girls
as beautiful as a dream" President
Hippolyte is described as being a man
of fine appearance and marked ability,
ard as being worth to his country the
salary of $4,000 year which he receives.
There is no danger of a revolution, the
consul says. The Haytians in his opin-
ion have solved the principle of self gov
eminent, and are prosperous and happy.
Consul Smythe takes a rosy view of the
situation. How long has it been since
peace reigned in Hayti?

A Chance for The south.

The correspondence from Japan to
American newspapers agrees that the
time is close at hand when Japan will i'm
port comparatively few manufactured ar
ticles and will export a great many. She
has gone to work energetically to build
up great manufacturing interests with
the view Of supplying the east with such
manufactured articles as the people OF
that part Of the globe need. She has
many things in her favor. She has
superb climate. excellent water power and
intelligent and remarkably cheap labor.
But she hasn't raw materials. These she
must import. She has neither iron nor
cotton and she cannot produce either in
satisfactory quantities. Here is an oppor-
tunity for the south. The south has cot
ton and iron in abundance She can pro-
duce them in greater quantities and at a
much lower price than they can be pro-
duced elsewhere in the world. Japan i'm
ports now a large amount Of American
cotton, but she does not get it direct from
American ports. She gets it from Liver
pool. Why shouldn't she import it direct
from Savannah or New Orleans? Why
should she pay the additional cost of its
transportation and handling at Liver
pool?
The south has iron in unlimited quaint
ties and Japan needs it. Very profitable
cargoes could be made Up of iron and cot
ton. Japan is now using vast amounts of
manufactured iron. but she is getting very
little of it from this country. She is i'm
porting it from European countries, for
the reason mainly that her channels of
trade are in the direction of Europe ratn-
er than this country. Is there not COM
mercial enterprise enough in the United
States to change these trade channels?
We are all the time talking about new
markets for our products. Japan is a big
market, and we are doing little or nothing
to supply it. AS Japan wants chiefly what
the south has to sell the south should
think seriously Of opening direct trade
relations with her.

Unnnnrecinted.

She was a nice old lady, says a writer
in the New York Sun, with spectacles,
and she got on at Adams Basin and took
the seat by my side.
She had the programme of W. G. 7.
L. convention at Rochester in her hand,
which she consulted occasionally, with
the evident fear that she was going to
be late at the morning session. She looked
so nice and kindly, and as though she
must be some fellows dear old aunt or
grandmother, yet so evidently i'll at ease,
that / wanted to talk to her, but hardly
knew how to begin.
Just then the trainmen called out,
South Greece! South Greece! and re-
marked that l thought the name of the
station seemed very funny, il opened UP
such possibilities of West Jerusalem"
North Pisa or East Capernaum."
l thought that it was a pretty bright
thing to say, but the dear old lady never
smiled. She just gazed at me over her
spectacles as one who was glad to give
from her store of knowledge what she
could, and she said solemnly and kindly.
THE name may seem peculiar but the
reason they call this station South
Greece is because, about four miles away
on the county line road, there is another
village called Greece Center, and they
have to call this station South Greece
to tell them apart" and the sweet-faced
old lady, with the self-satisfied look of
one who has impaired useful Information
and done kindness by the wayside, re-
sumed the study of her programme, and
/ haven't tried to say a funny thing
since, except once, when my wife asked
me if her hat was on straight, which the
same also was a failure.

Not Cholera Germs.

An incident is told by ladies who deal
out ratons to needy natives at the central
depot of the Hawaiian Relief Society
about an aged native and his allowance of
poi. says the Pacific Commercial Adver-
tiser.
dies as she handed a rusty old bucket to
one of the native attendants.
Poi for six" cried the attendant as he
returned the bucket filed with the sub
stance.
The native received his allowance and
started to walk away when something in
the bucket seemed to have the effect of
hypnotzing him. His eyes started from
their sockets and the cold beads of pers-
piration on his forehead indicated fear
of some kind.
Returning the bucket to the lady at the
window, he pointed TO some yellow specks
in the poi, well distributed throughout the
whole mass. He KUN kolera kela," Chose
are cholera germs, said the native, who
had evidently not been educated in the
science of bacteriology.
The lady tried to explain that the yell
low specks We're the roots of the taro,
which sometimes get into the poi when the
tubers are too closely scraped. This was
beyond the comprehension of the man, and
the lady was about ready to give up when
young native stepped forth and, tapping
his fellow countryman on the shoulder,
launched forth in the following scientific
explanations
IAN the poi in this place has been cook
ed. If those are germs, they are dead ones,
for the doctors tell us cooking will Kill
germs. Now then, you will have no trouble
after eating that poi"
"Oh. all right" said the native, and TAX
ing the bucket once more from the lady,
he walked away perfectly satisfied.
A matter of considerable interest, though
not generally known, comes up in con-
nection with this story. A great many ma
tiVes are of the opinion that the germs of
cholera can be seen with the naked eye
They catch fish, and if they see nothing
suspicious, use them as food without fur
ther thought about the matter.

A ChnttX Dnke.

His grace the Duke of Marlborough,
SAYS the Boston Herald, is a man after
the New York interViewer's own heart.
on the dukes return from his tour of the
country, he sent his private secretay to
a New York newspaper office with the re-
quest that a representative call on him at
his hotel for the purpose of interviewing
him. On the arrival of the newspaper
man the duke delivered himself as fol-
lows:
Want to know about the wedding? Well,
I've forgotten the name of the church,
and l really can't tell you about the ush-
ers But, let me see, perhaps these things
will interest you: There will be 1900 in
vitations sent out, and expect the church
will be filled. None of the family Jewels
will be brought over-but that's already
been published, hasn't it?. There's no use
you see, in bringing them over and pay
ing duty on them only TO take them back
again. l expect a few of my friends will
come over from the other side, but not
very many. It's a bad time of the year,
you see. After the wedding we shall
probably go on the ointment and travel
for two or three months before we go to
London. Can't you come in again in
few days? I'm going to give a bachelor
supper in a couple of weeks, and may be
able to tell you something about it.

satisfied With Defender.

The talk in New York yachting circles
is to the effect that a new boat will not
be built to defend the Americas cup.
Yatchsmen hold the opinion that the De-
fender is a better boat than any English
designer can design. Mr.. Watson, who
designed Valkyrie III, is looked upon
as the ablest English designer, and Val
kyrie is regarded as the best ne can do.
Defender defeated Valkyrie in a light
breeze and she is thought to be a better
boat in a heavy breeze than a light one
Why. then the question is asked, should
boat be built to meet the boat that Mr.
Charles d. Rose is going to bring to this
country next year?
The opinion is that Defender will be
better boat in her second season than
she was in her first. In fact, it is nor
yet known just what the yacht can do.
She has never yet been put to the extreme
test
While it is possible that New York
yachtsmen will change their minds and
decide that a new boat is necessary to
meet the new challenger. the belief now
is that dependence will be placed on the
Defender to keep the cup on this side OF
the Atlantic. If, however. it should be
decided to build new boat the money for
the purpose will be quickly forthcoming.

money. The rest of the Sl.5OOOOO went to
his lawyers and others who assisted him.
One of the lawyers who did the most for
him is Nathaniel Page, who has achieved
considerable reputation in connection with

best informed men on current topics there

Political Dementin.

Dr. Forbes Winslow, the eminent Eng
fish specialist in diseases of the mind.
confirms the frequently made assertion
that certain political demonstrations as
sumo an epidemic character. He saws
the crazes are not only form of demen-
tia, but that they are catching" and
are frequently, in extreme cases. follow
ed by physical ills and the total collapse
Of the mental structure. Imitation and
sympathy, he says, are the faculty and
the emotion which are in most cases re-
sponsible for the growth Of the political
craze. The manner of the crazes spread
he illustrates by likening it to the spread
Of a laugh through a crowd. Nine
tenths of an assemblage will laugh be-
cause they see or hear somebody else
laugh. being themselves totally ignorant
of the cause of the mirth. 1t is the same
way in the matter of yawning. One
yawn in a company will produce a doz-
en-. if there are so many persons in the
company; yet it is impossible to explain
just why 'yawning is catching" as the
old saw has it.
The pernicious influence of political
crazes is revealed all through history
Dr. Winslow refers to the epidemics of
demonomania which existed in the ff-
tenth and sixteenth centuries, and the
craze concerning "vampireism" in the
eighteenth century. These crazes had
their foundation in political agitation
He might also have referred to the anti
Masonic craze in this country not so
many years ago, and to the know moth
ing" craze, which caused so much riot
ing and bloodshed. And he might also
have come down to the present day, and
considered the free silver craze in the
category with the others. That form of
political dementia is almost wholly of the
baseless, epidemic type. Some of those
who are worst afflicted with it could no
more give a tangible reason for their
shouting for free coinage than the per-
son who yawns when he sees his neigh
Dor yawn can explain why he does it.
DR.. Winslow says these epidemic men,
authorities, but, unfortunately, none has
yet suggested remedy for them. All
that can be done is to caution the people
to make common sense the standard by
which to measure all propositions and
actions. That it will be a very long
time before they do so. however, goes
without saying

Judge Leatherman, Of Arkansas, holds
that prize fighting is not more dangerous
to life and limb than is foot ball, or base
ball or horse racing. 1t is a coincidence
worth noting that about the time Judge
Leatherman was expressing his opinion,

is a fact, also, which cannot be denied
that the foot ball field claimed more

And have enough to spare;

Along the verdant hills,
Whilst cows and horses Craze beside
The meadows limpid rills.
MY house shall be a perfect one
A strong and neat abode
Seen at the end of shady lane
Far back from dusty road.
A score of richly furnished rooms.
All hung with pictures fine.

Whose happiness is mine.
All this and more I'll surely do.

The recalling of the Japanese legation
from Korea may mean more fighting for
the conquerors of China. The japanese
have not had much rest from fighting
since the declaration of peace with China.
Their forces in Formosa have had num-
erous and hard battles with the rebels in
that island, and the opposition to the
annexation of Formosa to the island en-
pire is not yet put down. Should it be
necessary to send troops to Korea, it
may transpire that Japan will shortly
have very nearly her whole fighting force
on duty again.

A Ground for Divorce.

A Kansas City dispatch says: CDR. Nan
ME A. Stevens, a local physician, Thurs
day brought suit for divorce from Ralph
Stevens, a welfto-do Wichita farmer,
charging, among other things, that he
laid around and would not help her get
the meals
To properly understand the situation it
is necessary to bear in mind that Dr. Nan
ME is a new woman. She thinks she is just
about "emancipated." All she lacks is the
privilege of unrestricted suffrage, and,
living in Kansas, she is pretty well assur-
ed that that desideratum will not be long
delayed She is a bread-winner: a physl-
clan. She has taken mans place as the
head of a household. the inference being
that her husband has taken the place
which she vacated. That being true, the
supposition is natural that Mr.. Stevens felt
it incumbent upon himself to do the
homework and prepare the meals which
DR.. Mamie provided. 1t does not appear
from the dispatch that Mr. Stevens neg
lected his duty as long as he was not in
terfered with. On the other hand, the sug-
gestion is that Dr. Mamie wanted to boss
both branches of the household. 1t is
plain that she wished to put her fingers
into the pie, and that her spouse kicked
that is. refused to help her get the
meals.
What is more natural than that he
should have kicked? Is there the wife of
a doctor-the old fashioned doctor and the
old fashioned wife-in this country who
would not object if her husband should
come in after cutting off a leg, or mixing
pills, or eliminating a vermiform appen-
dix, and insist upon kneeding the biscuits
or preparing the pie crust? OF course
there isn't. That is probably the way It
was with Mr.. Housewife Stevens And it
is difficult to see where any blame can
attach to him.
The difficulty is that the new woman has
not yet learned her sphere. She tries to
be new. and at the same time run all of
the branches of the establishment that
she did when she was not new. To en-
ploy a saying of the streets, she attempts
to bite off more than she can chew. She
may learn better after a long, long while

MIC Parts mad Fought Wars.

From Louisville Courier-Journal Dem).
The Democratic part fought the only
wars we have had with foreign countries
and won them. 1t is a gross Islander
to say of such a party that it is in
competent to protect the country's honor.
But these charges come mostly from
men whose ancestors and political prede-
cessors were against the government in
the wars of 1872 and 1876.
