1t is now stated that the note of inquiry
sent by the Japanese minister at Washing
ton relative TO Hawaiian annexation has
been followed by the fling of a formal pro-
test. Whatever the final conclusion may
be the question seems to be one to be de-
cided by and between the governments of
Hawaii and the United States. The fact
that a few thousands, more or less, of
Japanese have emigrated to the island does
not give Japan right to protest against
It's transfer to the United States by de-
facto government which has been recog-
nized by every government in the world.

The fact that the cost of maintaining the
poor is much greater per capita in some
counties of the State than it is in others is
not so important as that it is too great in
all the counties. The whole system of pau
per support is unscientific, unbusinesslike,
wasteful and conducive to pauperism.

ART ON PAPER MONEY.

The New York Critic says that some
time ago all who took an interest in Amer
lean art were delighted to find that artists
of distinction had been commissioned to
make designs for the one. two and ive-dol-
lar silver certificates issued by the United
States government. When the designs APP
peared." continues the Critic, they were
Immediately recognized as the best that we
have ever seen on our greenbacks. But
apparently this sort of thing could not be
allowed to pass; and no one, probably, has
been much surprised to learn that the
Treasury Department is going to substitute
for these designs others in which the artis-
tic element will be less conspicuous"
WHO Immediately recognized these remark
able designs as the best we have ever had
the paper does not say. 1t is the first init
nation the Journal has seen that any one,
save the committee that accepted them
from the hands of the artists, thought they
were either artistic suited to the purpose
for which they were used The one thing,
indeed, implies the other, for design in
tended for a special use must be adapted to
that use else it is not artistic. The elabo-
rate pictures on the three bills mentioned
might have artistic. merit If painted on
canvas and hung upon the WALL but they
have little fitness for the face of a piece
of paper currency Too many figures and
too wide sweep of landscape were crowd
ed into a small space and their significance,
whatever it may be, is not to be dis
covered without close study. When the
notes are worn by circulation these pic
lures become a blur and the bills have more
the appearance of rags than any other
form of currency. The fact that they will
become so worn and will not remain clean
and crisp is one of the things to be con-
sidered by the designers. Simplicity should
be the rule for such designers-a single idea
brought out clearly and without elabora-
ton A good deal of nonsense is talked in
the name of art, and there is an affectation
in regard to it that such papers as the
Critic might well abandon. The fact that
an artist of repute makes drawing for
a given purpose does not prove the artistic
merit of the work or it's adaptation to the
use intended Artists are no more infallt-
BILE than writer's, and the greatest of these
latter make blunders. The man who can
paint a fine fresco or produce portrait
that is hung in the place of honor in
salon may not know in the least what is
suitable representation for a coin or dol
lar bill Common sense should govern in
such matters, and common sense has ruled
that these bills mentioned be called in. A
few artists with Impractical ideas may
mourn, but the public will not be sorry.

Sir Lewis Morris was not inspired, either,
when he wrote his jubilee ode. When the
smoke of the jubilee has blown away it
will probably be found that the best verses
bearing on the subject have been written
by some minor poet who was really stirred
by patriotism and was not hampered by
the consciousness that the world was ex-
pecting great things from his pen.

who complain of the existing drouth
may find consolation in the fact that

the country, had tradition that dur

history quotes the tradition as follows:
Not drop of rain fell for three years.
The Noxubee and Tombigbee rivers
dried up The forest trees persisted.
The elk and buffalo, then numerous,

the third year it began to rain, and con
