The Anglican Church Chronicle
for November, freighted with its
usual amount of interesting church
news and timely comment, has
been received. In the educational
department the editor gives some
valuable suggestions to teachers,
which we quote in part, as follows;
''The great thing for teachers
TO remember Is that their business
Is not only to prepare young per
sons to get their living, bur also
to fit them to take their place III
the world as rational beings. 1t Is
the teachers privilege and Guty to
grease the wheels of life-to lessen
the objects which cause friction -
consequently in the teacher should
be seen the most rational of men.
He should evince In his own life
much of his teaching. And no
man has more opportunities o. Car
rving this out, for we believe no
man has more friction to endure
than the teacher. He or she, to

Wednesday nights fire again
brings the Waikiki residents for
ward with clamor for better pro
lection. Had a southerly wind been
blowing, the whole line of resi-
dences along the lower Waikiki
road would have been in danger of
destruction. With the present 10
cation of the fire engines, there is
no possibility of saving a Waikiki
residence III which the flames have
gained fair Roadway, and if the
wind happens to be in the right
direction half dozen houses might
be on fire before the department
could render assistance. 1T is only
by a streak of good luck that the
cottages on the Waterhouse prem
ises are still standing.

STUDYING THE SITUATION.

The statements OF prominent
business men IN another column
show pretty we'll the tendency OF
public opinion on the subject OF
the cable franchise. They also
point to the serious thought which
the matter Is receiving, IN view of
the probability Of the new line of
action that may be followed. In
some quarters this paper has been
sharply criticised for suggesting
that the terms of Col. Spalding's
contract should not be made more
liberal, and the possibility OF the
whole business being taken out of
private hands. 1t has been suggest
ed that Col Spalding might be
ready TO guarantee greater benefits
In the way of rates, ETC., as an eX-
change for more concessions. This
Is a matter to be considered when
the public is given a more extern
sive knowledge of what Col. Spald-
ing wants.
One thing is worthy of note. No
one is prepared to deny that the
Executive has now under delibera-
ton a proposition to continue the
cable fght-and it is a fight
against monopolists - along new
and, it is to be supposed, improved
lines. Now there is a wide diversi-
ty of opinion as to just what meth
cd will be considered an improve
ment. No one doubts the wisdom
of the members of the Executive,
but that body is not above profiting
by conclusions drawn by the bust
ness community, even if those con-
illusions are, for the time being,
based upon conjecture. The delib-
crate thought of the past year has
established the conviction that no
private company should be granted |
an exclusive franchise. Further
more. there is a decided tendency
to favor the PRONUNCIATION of a
general franchise that shall be open
TO the highest bidder.
We are willing to admit that cir
cumstances may arise which will
place this last proposition without
the realm of expediency. The turn
national politics in the States have
taken since the general election
will have not a little to do with
settling this phase of the question.
\ Republican Congress would un-
doubtedly oppose any measure sa-
voring of national control of tele-
graphic system. On the other hand,
a Congress literally salted with
Populistic advocates would lean
strongly toward Joint national act
ION and national control. Fortu
natelv we have not long to wait for
election returns and a knowledge
of the class of popular representa-
tives with which cable promoters
will have TO deal. Meanwhile, the
people should keep their eyes open
and ask that they be kept informed
upon the drift of opinion among
those in whose hands the Legisla-
ture placed the power to grant val
uable privileges.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

An experiment OF great interest TO
oil we'll contractors was recently made
at the old Fuller well, in Butler Coun-
", Pa A full set of tools and two sets
of slips that were lost in the we'll were
completely dissolved by the applica-
ton of sulphuric acid. The acid was
put down in the hole with the bailer

Mrs Martin Luther's wedding ring
was a most curious and elaborate
affair, says a writer in the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Some Cincinnati ladies,
w-0 recently saw it in their summer
travels, state that the wonderful little
ring contains representations of all the
articles used at the crucifiviOn. The
ladder, the cross, rope, nails, the ham
mer. spear and even the thorns are
shown on it's surface.
During a recent visit to Pretoria, Mr..
c.. Diamond, ex-M. P. for North Mon
Afghan, had an interesting interview
with President Kruger, who stated that
all he desired was that his country
should be left alone. He was very en-
phatic in asserting that he would have
no suzerainty either from Great Brit
ain, or Germany, or France, or any
other country. IF any of them should
attempt to interfere with our liberties,
we will fight Them he said. On the
other hand, he was equally strong in
affirming that if any trouble did arise
it would not come from his Govern
ment, as they valued the peace of South
Africa, and did not intend in any way
to disturb it.
