ARMENIA AT OUR DOOR.
Aid Asked for Homeless Armenians in

Aid Asked for Homeless Armenians in
 New Haven by the W. c. T. U.-About
 Thirty Sufferers Here.
 About thirty Armenians are here in New Haven, not the common people, but the very best Armenia has to give. Miss Rebecca Krikorian is their repre- sentative and leader. This woman is already known to many of the best people of this country as a woman of rare gifts and noble character. These people are homeless and hungry. What are We going to do about it? They have lost everything but their lives for Christ's sake. Shall they go cold and hungry in this land of plenty, this Christian city? Who will help? They want houses to live in, food, fuel and clothing. They need furniture to make their homes comfortable. Homes for children, homes for fallen women. homes of all kinds, have been fitted up without money and without price. Who has a piece of furniture he can spare? Who has not one? Look about your homes, Christian women; they are fill ed to overflowing. and lend a hand. They are our Christian brothers and sisters. Learn the luxury of giving, even if it costs something of sacrifice, that these be relieved.
 This appeal is made in the name of the W. c. T. U. of New Haven. Those having furniture or other necessaries to give these people can send them to 2O5 Edgewood avenue, lower floor
 Those desiring to correspond concern ing them, or have money to contribute, may address Mrs. Nelson Adams, 14S Whalley avenue, city.

ovBRsTUDY AND ATHLETICS.

Principal Thomas of the Hillhouse high school said yesterday in regard to the complaints of parents over the time required Cor study out of regu- lar school hours. He thought that three hours of study outside of the reg ular session was needed by the pupils, and advised that the time be taken in two periods. He did not think that athletics in the common meaning of the term was any benefit to the pupils, as it did not tend to elevate those who indulged.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-04-24

Under the date of April IA we learn
that the prisoners whom Menelek
abandoned were frightfully mutilated.
Each prisoner had his legs amputated
just above the knees, and in some cases
still worse barbarities were perpetrated.
On account of their mutilations the men
are unwilling to return to Italy. This
is rather severe comment upon Abys-
sinian Christian civilization. The fact
is, the Abyssinians are a set of bar
barians, with the very slightest veneer
of civilization about them.

ABYSINNIA.

Abyssinia is not a very we'll known
country. A few words upon it may not
come amiss in view of the fact that the
Italian military operations are being
directed against King Menelek. The
name of the country is derived from the
Arabic word "Habesch,' meaning mix
ed. The population is a mixture of
Soudanese, Negro and Egyptian fellah-
ern. The country has been Christian
since A. D. $50, but upon the founda-
ton of Christianity there are Jewish
customs engrafted.
The most prominent of the Abyssini-
an monarchs of this century was Hasa,
who having in 1855 conquered the ma
jor part of the Soudan, styled himself
Emperor Theodorus. In 1866 he seized
and imprisoned the British Consul and
some Scotch missionaries. An expe-
dition was sent against him under Sir
George Napier He, with 10000 troops,
marched to the capital, Magdala, and

large and growing community we have
a right to expect, and we shall use all
the weapons to that end that as a
united Island we can legitimately."
When 1--WE" of the Hilo Tribune have
arrived at the stage when they can
look beyond the border of their own
personal interests, they will find the at
tentive ear of the whole country turned
toward them. When they can drop
down peg or two and realize that by
doing one thing at a time, and doing
that well, Hawaii will get her much
needed improvements, then and only
then will their arguments be Of some
value. If they can decide among them
selves that roads should first be taken
under consideration, and make a sensi-
BILE fight for roads, they will find that
roads will soon be forthcoming. After
the roads are completed then let them
consolidate their forces upon the wharf
question.
But they must first remember that it
is absolutely impossible to open the
national vaults for the use of Hawaii
alone. They must remember that they
are simply blocking their own progress
by wildly shouting that they want the
whole loaf or none.
No one doubts the necessity of i'm
provements on Hawaii. Nor does any
citizen of average business sense doubt
that to incur the increased bonded in
debtedness which would be necessary
to fulfill the claims of the Hilo con-
tingent would be suicidal to the ma
tional finance. This country cannot af-
ford to indulge in a progressive policy
that will land it in the sloughs of bank
ruptcy. New Zealand, with it's mag
nificent debt, is a good example of a
that would exist here if we
the ideas of our Hilo friends.
If Hawaii boomers can get down from
their high horse and cease laying claim
to Everything" they will be far more
liable to get something. Stop this |
haunting of beautiful generalities, talk
sense, and the people Will come to Ha- |
waits aid as one man.

AMERICAN POLITICAL POT.

The political pot in the United States
continues to bubble with increased
vigor as the returns from the national
delegate conventions come in. Within
the Republican fold Mckinley continues
to strengthen his hold, which from the
start has been most disparaging to his
opponents. The last mail brings news
of the Kentucky Republican State con-
vention, which went solid for Governor
Bradley, with Mckinley for it's second
choice. This doubtless means that Gov
ernor Bradley places his hopes in the
possibilities of dark horse and is
prepared to take the second place on
the ticket should Mckinley finally win.
Since the break made in the solid South
at the last election, Republican Vic

defeated Theodorus, who committed
suicide in his fort in 1868 His son was
taken to England and brought up there.
Sir George Napier obtained a peerage
and was created Lord Napier of Mag
dala.
The internal troubles of Abyssinia re-
sulting from the death of Theodorus
led the Viceroy of Egypt to send an ex-
petition into the Soudan, which result
ed in the annexation of Northern Abys-
sinia TO Egypt. In 1872 Prince Kassai
of Tigre, a province of Abyssinia, be-
came Emperor or Negus, with the name
of Johannes. He ruled successfully, de-
feating the Egyptian forces.
In 1885, after the campaign of Gen
eral Wolseley, the Italians occupied
Massowah, which Johannes claimed TO
be a part of his territory. One of his
generals defeated the Italians, but be-
fore the campaign could be concluded
the Mahdi had invaded his dominions
and he had to turn his attention TO that
ed and killed at the battle of Mitemneh,
March 9, 1889. His nephew, who sue
ceeded him, was dethroned by the pres
ent King, Menelek. The latter ac
knowledged at that time the suzer
ainty of the Italians. Now a quarrel
has broken out between the Italians and
himself.
The situation seems somewhat SINH
lar to the position of affairs in 1889.
The jehad, or holy war, preached by the
Dervishes, will act against Abyssinia
as it does against Egypt, and the pres
sure from the West will probably force |
Menelek to make terms with the Itali- |
ans in order to give him free hand |
against the Mahdist forces.

STANDING IN THEIR OWN WAY,

We are not surprised that the HiIo
Tribune takes exception to our sug-
gestion that there is a difference of
opinion on the Island of Hawaii as to
the relative Importance of roads and
bridges. But we must suggest that our
contemporary shows a wonderful lack
of judgment in its campaign for public
improvements. The great trouble with
the aggregation represented by the Hilo
Tribune is that they claim everything
in sight and then look about for some
thing more. As proof of this we quote
the following from their editorial utter
ances: I'VE have not arrived at the
stage yet when it has become necessary
to choose between the different kinds
of public improvements; as to whether
it shall be road for Kona or Kohala,
or landing for Puma, or a wharf for
HilO. We want roads, wharves and
bridges, in fact everything that as a

President from one of the Southern
ceived. In Indiana, Chairman Gowdy
of the State committee has come out
1at-footed for Mckinley, which means
! that the man from Ohio will secure a
| good portion if not all of the Indiana
delegation. Massachusetts can be de-
! pended upon to stand by Reed.
| One of the new and important feat
ures of the fight is the declaration of
the a. P. a. against Mckinley. 1t is
claimed that while Governor of Ohio
he Disseminated in favor of Catholics
when making appointments. The A. P.
a. circular, however, emanates from
Massachusetts, a State solid for Reed,
and is very likely political dodge OF
the Reed faction. For the A. P. a. to
whose political manager, Joe Manley,
is given over body and soul to the
Catholics, is like deserving the pot to
embrace the kettle.
Among the Democrats the aspirants
for Presidential honors are few and far
between. The man can get the NOM
ination who is brave enough to face an
assured defeat. Secretary Carlisle says
he would like the complimentary sup
port of the Kentucky delegation, but he
does not care to head the Presidential
ticket. President Cleveland has again
denied that he seeks a third term
Pattison of Pennsylvania has signified
his willingness to head a forlorn hope
if no one else can be found.
The interest of the whole country
seems to center in the fight for the Re
publican nomination, as it is accepted
as foregone conclusion that the man
selected by the ST. Louis convention |
will be the next President of the United |
States.

TWO DEFAULTS.

Lincoln, Nebraska, is in default. It is unable to pay It's paving bonds that were due September l.
 There is a resident of Lincoln, Neb- raska, who is on the way to more complete bankruptcy than that which has overtaken his town. His name Is William Jennings Bryan. The date of his collapse is November 3, 1896. On that day he will be so in default that he can't keep any of his fine promises to make the rich poorer and the poor richer. He will be unable to talk cheer ingly and hopefully concerning post offices etc. He will know that the foot of a rabbit caught in graveyard at the right time of the moon by a one- eyed negro is no protection against ad- verse fate. And he will realize that he is not only not a Man of Destiny, but is not even Boy of Destiny.
 The news that Lincoln has defaulted her pavement bonds is sad news. The news that her Boy Orator and Boy Promiser has defaulted will be glad news

THE GAME OF RLUFF.

When this astonishing campaign is over some of the most interesting read
 ing there is will be that which tells the
 inside history of the great game of
 bluff which the Boy Orator has been
 playing. Some of the inside history is
 already discernible. For instance. it is
 plain that the Boy Orator doesn't need advice and will not take it. He is the central figure and the chief manager of his own campaign Brother Jones is hardly heard of in connection with the campaign of which he is ostensibly the chief pusher, and there is nothing to in- dicate that he wants much notice of that kind. The Boy Orator has spent much time in ''the enemy's country" and it has been time wasted. He will see that by and by and then we shall perhaps hear that Chairman Jones saw
 it all the time. We shall also probably
 hear that whatever Brother Jones did he didn't do we'll Indeed, we are all
 ready hearing that. It is related that Illinois leaders, including National | Committeeman Gahan, State Chairman Hinrichsen and R. E. Burke, chairman
 of the Altgeld committee, do not hesi- tate to assert that if Bryan is defeated it will be due to the bad leadership of
 Chairman Jones. They declare that no presidential campaign has been so bad ly handled as Chairman Jones has han
 dled this one. It is further declared that Senator Jones has shown an abso-
 lute lack of executive ability and tact,
 the two most important qualifications
 for political manager His assistants have been National Committeeman
 Campau of Michigan and Johnson of | Kansas, both of whom were almost un-
 known before Bryan's nomination, and
 neither of whom has shown any ability, | it is asserted.
 And so on and so forth. By and by perhaps Senator Jones will arise and | say that he had an unmanageable can
 didate and therefore couldn't do any 1 thing. There are evidently some very
 lively quarrels already going on among | the Popocratic assistants of the Boy
 Orator. Meanwhile. he is putting on as bold a front as he can and appealing to
 all sympathetic ones, including the | women, to help him.
