Let Them Alone.

! Why not let the Hawaiian Islands alone?
They appear to be getting along all right.
/ Mr.. John w. Foster. who has just return
! ed from Honolulu. says they are very pros
porous but he fears it will not be possible
to maintain the present form of govern
ment very long, beause the people are so
unfit for self-governmeut. If they are I'M
tit for seE-government why should this
country burden Itself with the Islands?
Mr. Foster is anxious that the islands
shall be annexed to the United States. He
could hardly be more so if he had a 100000
fee dependent upon the success of the an
nexation scheme. He seems to have gone
to Honolulu for instructions just as soon
as it was known that Mr.. Mckinley was
elected Probably President Dole and the
other members of the Hawaiian admins
tration wanted to consult him as TO the
proper course to pursue when the McAin-
ley administration comes into power.
1t Is evident that an extraordinary eff
fort is to be made during Mr.. McKinleys
administration to bring about annexation.
A similar effort would have been made if
Mr.. Bryan had been elected. The men
who were chiefly instrumental in over
throwing the government of the Hawaiian
queen are afraid they cannot maintain the
government they have set up, because Of
the hostility of the natives to it. Hence
they are anxious to have the United States
take charge of the islands. They would
be satisfied doubtless with their choice of
the offices, and would feel secure in them
If the islands were part of this country.
But why should the United States burden
themselves with additional troubles? They
have all the territory they need. The Ha-
waiians are not a desirable population. 1t
would be years before they would be wean-
ed from their queen and in the meantime,
their discomfort might become so great as
to require the adoption of repressive meas
ures.
Mr.. Foster says that If the United States
do not take control of the islands some
other nation will. in all probability. What
is to hinder the United States from taking
the position that no other nation shall in
terfere in the affairs of the islands? 1t is
hardly probable that their firmly expressed
wish in the matter would be disregarded.
1t looks as if plans were being made to
promote the annexation scheme. 1t is not
probable that the scheme will be a success
while Mr.. Cleveland is President, but it
would not be surprising if Mr.. Mckinley S
administration should favor it. If Gen.
Harrison had been reelected, Hawaii, in
all probability. would now be part of the
United States.

The bishop ApOIogized.

The new archbishop, says the Westmln-
ster Gazette, was wont to rule the diocese
of Exeter with an iron hand, and a tale
is told of a deanery meeting at which he
presided, when the subject for discussion
was, 1.-THE Hindrance to the Spiritual Life
of the Diocese" After the discussion had
proceeded for some time vicar electri-
fed his audience by declaring that the
greatest hindrance to the full spiritual
life was none other than the bishop him
self. 81 repeat it," said the speaker calm
ly. "our right reverend father in God il
very far trum being lather 10 any OF us
Your manner towards us" he continued
turning to the bishop, sis harsh in the ex-
IRENE, while your method of rule is this
You treat us all, old and young. as If we
were a set OF school boys" This bold stat
ment drew from the bishop an apology.
and he explained that beneath his brusdue-
ness of manner was a very genuine sym
pathy with the work of all the clergy.
This impeachment created the more SEN
sation in the meeting because it came
from a son of DR.. Temples predecessor.

unnecessarily Alarmed.

For a week or more New York and
Philadelphia newspapers nave been talk
ing of the probability of an epidemic of
grippe in those cities. There are a few
cases of the disease in each of them, but
they are so light that among physicians
they occasion no alarm.
The fan was long, dry and, in November,
unusually warm. At first it was thought
the warm November meant an unusual
amount of sickness, but such did not prove
to be the case. In Philadelphia, particu-
larly, the health conditions have been ex-
cellent.
Within the last few days a large proper
ton OF the people have been suffering
from colds, but there is great difference
between a cold and the grippe, The grippe
is contagious and infectious and is char
acterzed by local catarrhal symptoms
1t attacks people of both sexes and Of all
ages. and while it is not OF itself regarded
as a fatal disease its tendency is to de-
velop other ailments. which. not unfre-
quenty, cause death.
However, there doesn't seem TO be any
occasion for apprehending that the coun-
try is goJlg to suffer from another visl-
tation Of the grippe. The last visitation
is not yet forgotten. At that time the
disease was either directly or indirectly
the cause of many deaths in this section
of the country.

Mr.. Bryan SIN Talking silver.

In an article in the December number
OF the North American Review Mr.. Bryan
! talks about the silver question. He de-
! clares that as an issue it is not dead and
/ predicts that the silverites will carry the
/ country four years hence. But. MIR
| Bryan, in his speeches during the cam
paign, did not make it clear to the people
why this country should open its minis
to the free coinage of silver and he does
not make it clear in his article in the
North American Review. Until he can
convince the people that it would be vast
~ to their interest to have a deprecated
silver currency in place of the currency
they now have he Will not get a majority
Of them to accept his silver views. His
assertions will not be accepted as argu-
ments. People are not convinced by as
sertions.
A favorite assertion of the silverites in
the early part of the campaign was that
the cause of the low price of wheat was
the low price of silver; that if the coinage
of silver was made free and unlimited the
price of silver would rise, and as the
price of silver rose the price of wheat
would rise. A similar assertion in respect
to cotton was made when cotton was sell
ing at cents pound.
Now look at the prices of wheat and
cotton! cotton sold as low as cents a
pound a couple of years ago and is now
selling at cents. 1t has been as high
as cents this year. Wheat sold as
low as flfty-five cents a bushel a few
months ago. Last Saturday it sold as
high as one dollar a bushel in New York
In fact, it commanded that price as far
west as Toledo. And has the price of
silver risen? Not in the least. While the
price OF wheat was advancing the price
of silver was falling. What then becomes
of Mr.. Bryan's assertion that as the price
of silver rises and falls so rises and falls
the price of farm products? Why did he
not explain, in his article in the North
American Review, why it was that his
assertions relative to the effect of the
price of silver on the prices of farm pro-
ducts were so far away from the truth?
If he had offered such an explanation his
article would have been much more in
teresting.
AS a matter of fact it is well known
why the prices of wheat and cotton fell
so low, and why they have risen. The
supply of both wheat and cotton was in
excess of the demand. Now that the de-
mand has increased because of the de-
crease in the supply prices are better. 1t
is pretty safe to assume that the price of
fol he'll
bushel before the remainder of the present
years crop is marketed 1t is estimated
that in this country about seventy per
cent yet remains in possession of the
farmers.

Ihe Baby.
Victor Hugo.

Like tiny CLINT of light piercing through
the dusty gloom
Comes her little laughing face through the
shadows of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as it hears her
patt'ring tread,
While her prattling treble tones chase the
thoughts from out my head.
She is queen and her slave, one who loves
her and obeys.
For she rules her world of home with i'm
perious baby ways.
In she dances, calls me ''Dearg' turns the
pages of my books;
Throws herself upon my knee, takes my
pen with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my
papers upside down,
Draws me cabalistic signs, safe from fear
of any frown.
Crumbles all my verses up, pleased to hear
the cracking sound,
Makes them into balls and then-hings
them all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away. leaving me alone
again.
With a warmth about my heart, and a
brighter, clearer brain.
And although the thoughts return that her
coming drove away,
The remembrance of her laugh fingers
with me through the day.
And it chances, as 1 write. may take a
crumpled sheet,
On the which. God knoweth why! read my
fancies twice as sweet

A six Months Engagement.

Usually Miss BeHingham was very talk
alive when her hance was with her, but
this evening she had little to say, says
Harper's Bazaar. The burden of the con-
versation fell upon Mr.. CIngstone, and he
did not sustain it as he should have done.
Mr. Clingstone was not much of a CONVEX
sationalist He was a much better list
ener.
Evidently, Miss Bellingham had some
thing on her mind, and it took her some
time to get ready for the effort of reliev-
ing herself of her mental burden. AT
length she sad after a few preliminary
efforts at catching her breath:
When we became engaged Harold, you
will remember that you expressed wish
that our engagement should not be long
one"
Il remember. Ethel" replied Mr.. Cling
stone. Il said l was opposed to long en-
gagements."
You did. You mentioned six months, l
believe, as the maximum length"
Yes, darling. l thought then, and l
think now, that no engagement should
last longer than six months"
DO you know, Harold, that our six
months are almost up?"S
Are they? Well, wen, how time does
fly especially when the hours are pleas
ant ones. That half year has nown by
sweetly and swiftly"
Yes Miss Beilingham went on, re-
fectvely, our six months will be up next
Thursday night at 9:15 o'clock"
you have the exact time down fine"
commented the young man.
Il am usually accurate"
Then, of course, Ethel, love, as our six
months have expired, we must get mar
ried. Oh, joy! How good it was to re-
mind me of it!'
Mr.. Clingstone thought this a fitting
time to embrace his sweetheart, and his
arm stole around her waist. The maiden
proceeded:
Yes, Harold. the six months will soon
be up, and out of Difference to your own
wishes regarding the length of our engage
ment, am willing that ours shall end at
that time
"Oh, glory! Then we shall be married in
a week.
You are going too fast, Mr.. Cling
stone. say that out of difference to your
views our engagement is to end at 9l5
on the evening of next Thursday, for l
have become engaged to Charles Mum
the engagement to take effect at that time
Now I'll get your hat and overcoat, and
you Il be able to catch the last car with,

Could Afford to Buy New Ones.

II want to look at some of your best
paintings" said Mrs. Crewe Doyle to the
art dealer, according to the New York
World.
yes, madam" replied he. "You prefer
landscapes. do you, or marines, or shall I
show you both?"
I'D rather have picture of country
life, l think, with COWS and trees and
things like that, you know"
yes, madam. This way, please. Now
here is a very fine work by Rembrandt"
The customer surveyed the work criti-
cally and then said:
This picture looks like a secondhand
painting. Isn't it?"
Well" said the dealer in a somewhat
surprised tone, II suppose 1t might be
termed secondhand, but don't think 1
ever heard a Rembrandt called that be-
fore"
Who is Rembrandt? Where can find
his studio?" she asked
He's one of the Old masters, madam"
Him! Well, don't want you to try to
sell secondhand pictures to me, for can
afford to buy new ones. You may Just
tell Mr.. Rembrandt to paint a picture es-
pecially for me and have it made twice the
size of this please"
This order so astonished the dealer that
he allowed Mrs. Crewe Doyle TO stalk out
without putting down her name and adj
dress and now he doesn't know where to
send the painting, when Mr.. Rembrandt
gets it done"

Onnosition 10 NE. Raced.

Politicians who are influenced by selfish
motives may yet succeed in making Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Reed believe that each
is the bitter enemy of the other. 1t is
well known that Mr.. Reed hasn't as high
an opinion of Mr.. Mckinley as some of
the latter's friends have, and it is a fact
that there are bounds to the admiration
which Mr.. Mckinley has for Mr.. Reed.
Still, as neither bears the other malice,
it is probable that Mr.. Reed would give
Mr.. McKinleys administration fair sup
port if he were not nagged into believing
that the President-elect means to ignore
him in all matters pertaining to the affairs
of the government.
A story has been set afioat that Mr.
Reed is not TO have a walk-over for the
speakership OF the next congressional
Gen. Grosvenor, a great friend of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, and an Ohio man. is to be can
didate, and that he will have the support
of Mr.. Mckinley. OF course, without Mr.
McKinley's support Gen. Grosvenor would
have no chance of being elected With
his support, however, he would stand a
pretty good chance of getting the office,
because the republican members would
be anxious to be in the good graces of the
administration.
1t would be a great mistake, however,
for Mr. Mckinley to antagonize Mr.. Reed
He might prevent Mr.. Reed from becom-
ing speaker. but he couldn't prevent him
from being the real leader of the House.
In that position Mr.. Reed could come
very near making Mr.. Kinley's admits
tration a failure
