official subsidized organs OF Mr..
Dole's funny little republic that we
are the most virtuous, wealthiest
and wonderful republic on earth. A
circular from the Hawaiian Mercau-
tile Agency states that "money is
easier" than last summer. That re-
ports from the larger business
houses show "a heavy increase in the
volume of trade" That the pros
poets for consummating the loan

very good" and that "labor will find
employment on Government works."
People who follow true conditions
OF the islands realize the utter false
hood presented in the above state
ments. The truth is that business
is steadily decreasing. That there
are no openings for labor, skilled or
unskilled, aud that the competition
with Asiatic coolies virtually has
driven the "whites" and the Hawai-

A VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH
n. O. States,

n. o. States.
There was an exciting scene in Miss
Browns fashionable school on Fifth
avenue, New York, the night after
the election. 1t appears that in this
school, which prepares young ladies
for a course at Vassar, there was
a bevy of Mckinley girls, who de-.
termined to have some fun at the cx-
pensc of six fair maids from the
South, who were ardent supporters Of
Bryan. The Mckinley maids after
"taps,' clothed in their nightics, as
cended by means of the Ire escape tn
the floor above, on which were the
rooms OF their schoolmates from the
South. The rooms were charged in a
body by the Mckinley girls and in Il
jiffy the contents OF bureau and ar.
m0ir drawers were scattered over the
floors in indescribable confusion. The
six Southern girls were dazcd for a
moment by the unexpected onslaught,
but indignation soon gave place to
dismay, and seizing water pitchers
they drenched the McKinleyites, who.
chilled to the bone by the icy water.
which went through their night
gowns like sieve, fed screaming to
the fire escape, and as they scrambled
down it at the imminent risk OF
breaking their pretty necks, the six
Southern girls continued the acqueous
bombardment ut short range and with
telling effect. The affair was a great
shock to such an exclusive insti.

is said, there will be an investigation,

short and glorious engagement. Mrs.

HOW lie CUT WOOD.
TRICK OF A TRAMP PLAYED ON AN
UNsUsPECTING LADY.

Stockton Mali
A lady residing In the southeastern
part OF the city had an experience
with tramp the other day which has
soured her on that class of mendi.
cants. The fellow came around and
begged for something to eat, which
was given him.
''Have you any work that / can do?"
be asked, after satisfying his hunger.
"Well, you might cut that wood"
said the lady, pointing to a pile of
fOur-fOOt stove wood In the yard.
"How much do you want for the job?"
'Six bits"
swell, go ahead" she said.
Shortly after that she had occasion
to go down town, and when she left
the house the tramp was industriously
at work. Upon her return, he had
finished. Pointing at the woodpilc,
he said, proudly: What do you think
OF that? Ever seen an old man like
me who could cut wood as quick as
that? Oh, I'm a lightning striker, l
am"
The lady acknowledged that he was
a fast worker, and promptly paid him
his money. Shortly after his depart
ure she went to the woodpile after
some sticks, and was surprised after
removing a few OF them that only the
top layer had been cut. The body OF
the wood pile consisted Of four.foot
uncut pieces so arranged as to leave
large spaces between them. 1t was
quite apparent then that considerable
OF the wood had disappeared, and that
the remaining sticks had been ar
ranged in that way so as not to show
the pile had shrunk.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
some Of the wood had been hidden un-
der a sidewalk, while other large
sticks had been concealed in various
places around the yard, and some OF
the fuel taken into the wUod-shed.
Yesterday the lady chanced to see a
large stick on the wood-shed roof.
She expects to happen upon other
pieces here and there around the
premises for the next two months,
and would not be much surprised to
find that the tramp had wcdged some
OF the fuel into the chimney top.

THE NEW AND THE TRUE WO-
MAN.

In on article on "'rhe New woman
and the Problems Of the Day." the
current number OF the Popular Science
Monthly points out the benefits which
the woman with new knowledge can
confer on future generations. 1t takes
occasion to draw a sharp distinction
between her and the person described
as the new woman.
In the matter Of the home, it says,
we want woman with new knowledge,
but motive speak with all due fear
and trembling-new women. The new
woman would set everyone discussing
rights, but the true women with
adequate knowledge, would see what
the best women have always seen,
that the nome requires principle Of
unity and not system OF scientific
frontiers or an elaborately arranged
balance of power.
Without entering into the question
as to whether the wisest methods are
being followed to-day in the education
of women, it is beyond all doubt that
women have gained vast enlarge
ment OF their intellectual horizon,
and that in many cases they are not
only the peers in knowledge but the
superors of men in the same station
of life as themselves. Such knowledge
can nowhere be better employed than
In the home where the physical, men.
tai, and moral development Of children
has to be watched over. The ques-
tion is: How far will it be employed
in this way and how far made means
Of mere personal assertion?
The true woman will use it for the
good OF others, and, II possible, will
make it available for the improvement
Of the home; while others-the fam
boyant type-will use 1t to make them
selves conspicuous in the world, and,
as they vainly fancy, to glory to the
female sex.

New York World.
The Democratic party Is harder 10
kill than the cat Of the proverb. More
than nine times in its eventful, and,
on the whole, glorious history, it
has been so badly beaten that its enc.
mics have started a jubilant death.
dance, and many OF its disheartened
adherents have bctaken themselves
to the mourners' seats.
Yet the tough old party Of Jefferson
and Jackson has always rallied again.
Often 1t has defeated its opponent at
the very next election after a great
disaster, as in 1872, when its candi.
date was beaten by 762, ,99l in the pop
ular vote and by 233 in the Electoral
College, and yet it elected Tllden four
years later. In 1883 it lost the Presi-
dency and Congress by discouraging
majorities, yet whipped the Republi.
cans out their boots In 1890 and 1892.
The Democracy is not dead now,
because its principles are triumphant.
A million Democrats have voted for
Mckinley because they valued Demo-
cratic principles more than any party.
Indeed it Is u better thing for the
party that the Democratic ticket and
platform have been beaten than IL
would have bccn had they succeeded.
Victory would have brought about a
realization Of the crazy platform.
This would have killed the party be-

NUMBER 40.
MEN AS TREES WALKING" !"

The experience recorded in the
Scriptures in which blind man mi
raculourly restored to sight declared
that lie saw linen as trees walking"
has been curiously paralleled by case
reported by Canadian newspaper,
the Pembroke Standard.
According to this journal, a man of
Pembroke, so years Of age, who had
never seen at all, received his sight
through the removal OF cataract.
When the bandage was first removed
from his eyes at the operation the
patient started violently and cried out
as il with fear. and for a time was
apparently suffering from nervous
shock as the result Of his new-found
sense.
One OF the first things he noticed
was flock OF sparrovs; and when
asked what they were he responded
that he thought they were teacups!
This was certainly more curious
mistake than the Scriptural one.
A few minutes afterward he was
shown watch and asked what it
was. lie waited moment until he
heard it tick, and then said it was a
watch.
The blaze of lamp, shown him by
daylight, excited the most lively sur.
prise in his mind. He had no idea
what it was, and wanted to pick it
up with his fingers.
He was, however, in the greatest
delight in the possession Of the new
found faculty. When, after his first
day Of seeing, night fell, he wept In
despair, believing that he was losing
the sight which had been so wonder
fully found after more than sixty years
OF darkness.
