books like the "Kreutzer Sonata, .
which should never go into the home
of any decent family, and there are
books like "Mademoiselle Giraud, Ma
femme which ought to be burned before
they ever reached the public eye. but
with all their evil there are other books
which are far more noxious. They
suggest evil, they excite passion, and
they lead many who read them into
paths they should not follow.
Yet they are clever. So are plays of
similar type We all know what the
end of Oscar Wilde's career was-a
prison cell and life long disgrace, Yet
he could write brilliant dialogue and
sharp epigram.
In his play of An Ideal Husband"
one of the most morbid of the modern
plays. one of the characters says: No
one should be judged entirely by his
past" Yet how often we do so and
damn man or woman who having
gone through the fire has learned the
true lesson of human life Take again
such quotations as the following: a
cigarette is q perfect type of q perfect
pleasure. 1t leaves you unsatisfied,"
or once more. Morality is the attitude
we adopt against people we don't like"
and Life is never poor" and lastly
a good woman is pitiless through her
perfection"
Everyone Of the quotations are ex-
oellent, but they are linked with so
much that is bad and the whole tenden-
cy OF the moral tour of the play is so
bad that wise community would con-
denim it
The tendency OF the modern esthetic
novel and of the esthetic play is TO evil.
There are great writers at the pres
ent day, and there are great writers in
the past Let the resent generation
read and appreciate Scott, Thackery,
Dickens, Maryatt, Mrs. Gaskell, Mrs.
oliphant, Charles Kingsley and his
brother Henry, who was only eclipsed
by the greater reknown of Charles.
Let them take up the healthy works Of
such men of the present day as Kip
ling, Bret Harte, Stanley Weyman,
Anthony Hope, Mark Twain, Professor
Ebers, Maehrtens and Daudet. But also
let them shun the vicious stuff which |
comes from a too prolific press. To
read the works of great minds is a
continual happiness The brilliant
thoughts of those, who have had bril- |
liant ideas, live forever in the human
mind. and the humber human mind is |
happy in its inheritance of great ideas
and noble truths put into language
that makes them household words. |
What literature should be is summed |
UP in the words OF otway-"Purity and
truth. Eternal joy and ever lasting
love"

In summing UP the American con-
tributions to civilization President
Eliot remarks upon the demonstration
by the United States that people be-
longing to a great variety of races and
nations, are, under favorable circum-
stances. fit for political freedom. In
recounting the different nationalities,
he refers only to Europeans. The
United States has done not a little in
proving how the racial forces may be
amalgamated into a contented whole,
but the time will soon be when Hawaii
will come in for a share of the glory
of racial amalgamation. In this cuun-
try is slowly being worked out the
problem, whether the Oriental races
viii assimilate in the customs and pc
litical life of the amalgamated Euro
pean races. All signs point 10 the
proof that this assimilation can be
brought about successfully.

If there is ever anything pathetic in
politics, the reception given Secretary
Carlisle at Covington, KY, will stand
as one of the pathetic incidents. 1t
was only short time ago that John
G. Carlisle could have had any po-
litical office the people of Kentucky
could give. He was one of the idols of
united Democracy, and while he
was not without hearty enemies, there
were none who would stoop to offer
an insult. After four years in Cleve>
lands Cabinet, Carlisle is politically
dead; worse than dead. He has lost
his prestige in his own State on ac-
count of what many believe to be a
forced change Of convictions and sac
rifice of principle to hold a Cabinet
position. The time was when Carlisle
had good reason to aspire to the lead
ership of his party; today he would be
lucky if elected to any position on the
State ticket.

ANNEXATION CAMPAIGN.

The presence Of numerous Eastern
Congressional leaders in the cities and
towns OF the Western coast ought to
set the people OF Hawaii 10 thinking
and finally making some move 10 get
some Of these men 10 extend their trav-
els 10 The Islands OF the Pacific. II is
now time for the annexation forces of
this country 10 be getting together for
active, forceful work: it is time to
open our own campaign and go into it
with an enthusiasm second only to
the war Of ballots that will take place
in the United States on Tuesday. For
The past two years annexation. while
constantly 10 the front and constantly
2 matter of supreme interest in the
minds OF the people of this country.
has not been doomed" particularly,
simply because there was absolutely no
hope for its realization under the pres
>snt American administration. The
only thing for the people to do was 10
wait patiently until the American peo-
pie had placed a new leader in the
Presidential chair. All the enthusiasm
0r fervor which might be worked up
On this side of the water could amount
TO nothing when the Executive of the
United States was opposed to a closer
union than exists at the present time.
The day the campaign in the United
States closes the annexation campaign
in this country should open. Whether
Mckinley or Bryan is the man chosen,
whether the Republicans or Democrats
are victorious in the Congressional and
Senatorial contest, the plans for bring
ing the Hawaiian question forward as
q live and important issue should be
gin to take shape, not alone with the
Government, but among the business
men, among the supporters of closer
political union in every walk of life
We must not lose time in announcing
to the American people that Hawaii is
still at the door of the United States
and her plea for admission 10 the union
is no mean war cry Matched up for the
occasion
Already Hawaii has warm friends in
Congress on both sides OF the house;
in fact, the division on Hawaiian an
nexauon is not on party lines. At the
same time, comparatively few of these
men have been TO the country to see.
it as it is. Our Congressional visitors
have not been so numerous that the
country would not profit by having a
few more. If it is worth while for the
Republican Campaign Committee to
send such men as Boutelle. Reed and
other prominent leaders TO the West
ern coast, it is certainly a good polit-
ical proposition for the annexationists
of Hawaii TO prevail upon such men as
these 10 continue their journey 10 this
country. It will cost money, but the
individual who considers for moment
that annexation viii be accomplished
without the expenditure Of good gold
coin is wonderfully ignorant of the po-
litical life of the present generation.
Every campaign, whatever its nature.
calls for no stint OF funds, and TO a
great extent the annexationists must
carry on the campaign Of education. .
II is time for the annexaionists to or
ganize. Nothing can now be gained by
waiting.

zionist there can be doubt Of Mr.. Eos

the line.
Although II is impossible TO obtain
positive assertions, the rumor 10 the
effect that Mr.. Fosters immediate bust
ness here is II connection with the
trans Pacific cable construction, seems
to be well founded. This, too. is 9
proposition in which the citizens OF
Hawaii are nightly interested, and if
it is true that Mr.. Foster comes in the
interests Of the New York company
they have still greater reason TO open
their eyes 10 see what is going on. If
the New York company, after prac-
tically defeating cable legislation in
the last Congress, now desires 10 effect
an amalgamation with the Spalding
combination. il is somewhat strange
that II should be deemed necessary to
send 10 Hawaii TO consummate the
deal. On the other hand. if the desire
is 10 stin further block the pathway OF

on the part Of this Government that

PIE here have had reason to believe
that the New York company is a

woman and child in Hawaii viii be
glad 10 hear it, AS yet there is little
definite concerning the present atti-
tude Of the company, and conclusions
must. 10 a degree, be drawn from con-
lectures. We can, however, give as
suranee that Mr.. Foster is welcome
and an honored visitor. and, further
more. that our people are always eager

Today the American people elect
their President and Congressional rep
resentatives. Whether Mckinley or
Bryan is declared President, the
people of Hawaii can be sure that the
next Chief Executive cannot be more
unfriendly to the cause of annexation
than the present incumbent has been.

1t is said that the prices of silver and
wheat always keep company, but dur
ing the latter part of this year, 1896,
wheat at s1.50 has gone off on a de-
cidedly apparent tangent. Possibly
this is the exception that proves the
rule, but none of the political orators
have succeeded in proving it.
