HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE.

When on the morning of July I'd the
death of Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe
was heralded throughout the world,
the news was not received with the
usual indifference that meets the death
of some noted literary light. Particu-
larly is this true in the United States,
where the name of Mrs. Stowe, coupled
with her book, Uncle Toms Cabin, -
has found a place in the homes of the
common people almost second to the
Bible. There is hardly man or woman,
boy or girl of the present generation to
whom 'Uncle Toms Cabin" is not re-
called as one of the household gods,
and thus it will ever remain for years to
come. Mrs. Stowe needs no pen of lit
erary genius to tell the world that it
has lost one of the brightest women of
the century; neither is a monument of
stone required to keep fresh the mem
DRY of her good works in the hearts of
every day people.
Mrs. Stowe was born in a literary at

An English exchange referring to
the terrible Moscow disaster that oc-
Cured at the coronation of the Gar
remarks that the slaughter there was
as nothing when compared to the hor-
rors now being contenanced by aris-
tocratic Cars and capitalistic cos
sacks. Women rotting out their lives
in match-factories end weavingrsheds,
men deliberately sweated to death in
iron foundries, stoke-holes, and bak-
cries. Who cares? Children, too,
brought up scrofulous, rickety, and
useless from their want of food and
air? What does it matter? There are
plenty more where they came from. "
This is a socialistic view of social con-
ditions in a country far above the
standard of Russia, yet it is not far
from the truth. The great corpora
tons of England and the United States
do not hold human life among the
lower classes at much higher figure
than were those stamped out on the
plains of Khodiusky.

The opium mystery of Lahaina bay
proves not to be much of a mystery
after all. The occasional quota of
Hong Kong tins that are being wash
ed ashore also prove that the Custom
House officials were far from working
in the dark in directing their efforts
to gain possession of the Norma's con-
traband freight The Lehua's mission
was quite as successful as it would
have been had the opium been found

Capt. Conrad Spieler, the Austrian,
thinks that annexation would be good
thing for Hawaii, but not for the United
States, and then goes on to praise
Pearl Harbor as cite for naval sta
ton. The captain is honest. There is
no reason why he should think it a
good move for the American flag to
float over Pearl Harbor, and American
guns guard the key to the North Pa
cific. If war should arise, the European
nations would naturally prefer that
Pearl Harbor remain in its present
state of primitive peacefulness.

Our correspondents views on the
cultivation of coffee in Hawaii will be
read with profit by all interested in
the numerous coffee plantations that
are now well under way. At the pres
ent, the majority of the planters are
principally interested in how to make
the coffee trees grow. But that the
trees can be grown and that they will
bear paying crops seems to be settled
beyond question. The point then
arising is the best method of car
ing for the crop once it is harvested.
Too much attention cannot be given
this phase of the coffee production
since upon the success of the pioneer
planters, the first 10 put their product
on the market win depend in a large
degree the success of the industry.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

The advisability of associated chari-
ties has for some time been a question
of private discussion among those who
have to do with the darker side of life
in Honolulu. AS public movement,
however, there has been general apa-
thy principally on account of the fact
that no one has assumed leadership
and taken the matter in hand in a sys-
tematic manner. As is the case in nearly
all tropical countries, the skeleton of
poverty does not stand out in the same
bold relief as it does in colder climes.
1t is also true that there are very few
families in the country that have to
rely on charity for sustenance. At the
same time Honolulu does have it's de-
serving poor, who are looked after in
one way or another.
The Hawaiian Relief Association,
the American Relief, the Strangers
Aid and the British and Portuguese
societies are all doing good work, and
many persons have been and are being
tided over the dilemmas that often arise
through sickness or inability of the
head of the house to promptly obtain
work While we can only speak in the
highest terms of the work that is being
done, it becomes question for serious
consideration whether or not these So
cieties could not carry on their labors
to still better advantage by combining
in a general charitable association.
At the present time, notwithstanding
liberal contributions to various socie-
ties, the business men often receive re-
| quests for assistance. Unless he is per-
sonally acquainted with the case, the
average business man has little time to
investigate whether the request comes
from one who deserves assistance, and
he is at loss to know just what society
to present the matter to. He is willing
to give the money, but is in doubt as
to the manner in which it will be ex-
pended if paid over to the individual.
Whatever else may be said of the
leaders in our business community
they are liberal in their contribu-
lions to good work of any char
acter. With a general charitable
have good many unpleasant tasks ia
ken from his shoulders. He could make
his yearly contribution to the associa-
| ton, and whatever the nationality OF
those coming to him for assistance
they could be referred to the general
association, where the individual cases
could be taken in hand by those who
have the time to give to the matter
AS a general association, to obtain
the best results, would possibly require
one paid agent to devote all of his OF
her time to investigating the different
cases brought to notice, such an organ
ization might at first thought appear
to be an expensive affair We doubt
! however, if, when the amount of money
that is now going out in different direc-
tions, is taken into account, the actual
moneys put out for charity would run
to a higher figure than at present. There

After a vacation of few weeks
Sibyl returns to grace the columns of
our Saturday issue with timely word
for the teachers of the country. 1t is
true the teacher is very much slave
when the remuneration granted her is
taken into consideration. To overtax
the teacher is simply one method of
Iessening the efficiency of the school.
People generally do not realize that in
practicing parsimonious economy to-
ward the teachers, they are taking just
so much educational bread from the
mouths of the children.

The Cornell Brain Association has
been formed by some of the medicos of
Cornell University for the purpose of
making a post norton study of the
effect upon the human brain of educa-
ton and good morals. One of the Off
GERS has made an appeal to educated
and moral persons to bequeath their
brains to the institution for scientific
study. In response to the letter the so
ciety has already received eight brains
and has the promise of twenty-five
Others that are still being used by the
owners. This may be all right to the
man whose mind is charged with scien-
tific enthusiasm, but we venture that
there will be comparatively few dona-
lions of common every day brains. The
proposition is too cold blooded to meet
the sanction of the average citizen.

1t is said that John D. Rockefeller
paid his first visit to the Chicago Uni

In Willett & Gray's circular of June
% the following reference is made to
Cuban sugars and politics: EThe Cuban
plank in the st. Louis Republican plat
form appears to be bone of contention
in the Spanish Congress. There is no
doubt that our next administration will
be Republican, and will take hand in
bringing about Cuban independence
when it comes into power on March 4,
1897 This will be too late, however, to
affect the next crop, which should begin
in January and end in June" Viewing
the situation outside the realm of poll
tics, the circular says: Cuba shows the
effect of the rainy season in reduced
receipts for the week to 1887 tons. The
visible now reaches 196,476 tons,
against our estimate of 100000 tons.
AS regards the next crop, the outlook
remains unchanged, for no more sugar
than this season unless the war is end
ed within few months" This last
reference speaks more for the success
of the Cuban patriots than columns of
colored dispatches which we get
drought the newspapers. The Spanish
may assert and reassert that they are
fast wiping out the forces of the revolu-
tionists, but their statements amount to
little when the unfortunate condition
of the principal industry of the island
is looked into.

In DR.. Plummer's tract How to Use

time, copy of the Bible with few ex-

that time the wages of laborer
amounted to but nine pence week.

is slowly but steadily going to the bad.

SPREAD FACTS ABROAD.

Since the political campaign excite
ment struck the United States, hardly
day has gone by that some hair
Drained orator of the South or West
has not proclaimed before his hearers
that the United States must declare
for free silver or go through another
civil war. Possibly there are 1000 900
men at the most who believe this, yet
we know of no country or of any COM
mon sense man ON the face of the earth
that believes that the American Union
stands any chance of being broken by
secession of States.
Now, in Hawaii we have these same
calamity howlers. Some of them are
residents, some of them are tourists,
and a few are men who draw their
money from the country and spend it
abroad. These people, for one reason
or another, are constantly airing their
opinions in the American and British
press, upon the lack of stability of the
Government, and telling their dear
friends and others who don't know
them as we'll as the people here do
that Hawaii is on the verge of political
embroglio. Thereby is given the gen.
eral impression that our conditions
are very much like a continual tenn
pest in a tea pot. Our securities are
looked at askance, and some poor in
nocents across the water wonder how
humanity exists in such turmoil In
the United States the calamity bowler
is looked upon as jackass and is
properly classed. But the Hawaiian
pessimist quite often gains a hearing,
and good people drink down what he
says without question.
There are two causes for this. First,
there are mighty few people outside
the Pacific States who know anything,
or at least have clear idea, of the
conditions here. Second, they do know
it is small country, and take it for
granted that political affairs must be
topsy turvy on general principles. Be
sides, all they know is gained from
some wandering political malcontent
troubadour who plays the sensational
newspaper for all it is worth.
Of course annexation, the American
flag over Hawaiian territory, will put
the Hawaiian bowler in the same cate
CORY as the American; it will do away
with the question of strength of Gov
eminent. Meanwhile, in view of the
fact that the country is seeking an
nexation, it is highly proper that the
Government should take a hand in
distributing authentic information
concerning the Islands. Literature on
Hawaii, reviewing is political as well
as its industrial condition, should be
spread broadcast throughout the
United States If in six months from
now the citizens of any town or city
in the United States should say that
they know nothing of Hawaii, the
Government of this country should be
in position to retort: Then it is be-
cause they can't read" Pamphlets on
Hawaii should be pushed with the
same vigor as the campaign literature
of the various parties will be. Such
a course will cost money, but we know
of no better investment for this Gov
eminent. That such literature should
have the same political tinge as the
American political party documents is
of course out of the question, but a
straightforward statement of facts is
what is needed, and what should be
sent out.

the organizations were centralized the

The claim is made for Lincoln J.
Carter's new scenic play, The lorna
do,'' that its realisms are of such an
imposing nature that even the pictorial
matter used in advertising the play do
not do the piece justice, that the scenes
depicted by the posters are actually so
much more impressive when seen, as
Mr.. Carter presents them in his play,
that one must acknowledge that for
once the printers ink has not oyerdone
things. This, of course, is a novelty in
theatrical advertising. But we prom
ised that there should be nothing but
novelties in the Tornado" and Mr..
Garter has shown in the past that he
knows how to build astonishing things
for the stage, sowe will wait and see
