THERE are four prominent business
houses in Great Bend whose advertise
ments have appeared in the DEMO
Graf every week, practically. for the
past two years or more. When we
name them you will recognize that
they are all prosperous, as they should
be. The j. V. Brinkman Co. Bank
has always had its ad. in the DEMO.
GRAFT since our connection with the
paper. The "Cyclone" has missed
coming before our readers but once
during the past two years. and that
omission was not intentional on the
part of Ed. S. Marx, the genial
manager. The Great Bend Implement
Co. has failed three times in the past
two years to come before the people
through these columns. The New
York Store has probably been the
largest advertiser in this city, and has
only missed very few issues Of the
DEMOCRAT. Besides these larger ad-
vertisers, there are a number of
others. professional and business men,
who have constantly used advertising
space in this paper; and every one of
them enjoys a healthy, prosperous

to the peculiar gold standard fallacies

of that paper, supposed to be an ex-

the editor of the Tribune may think
he has turned neat political trick by
thus disappearing matters and

that his eagerness to make trouble

An English paper says there was
once in one of the great universities a
mathematical tutor who boosted that
he neither knew nor cared to know any

said, "a lot of impractical rot"
He had a friend, brother-tu.or in
literature, who was very anxious to
convert him to liking for poetry.
This friend thought he would begin
with poem which everybody must

something unheard of, and men played
all the parts, regardless of the sex of
the characters portrayed. 1t is only an
other instance of the advancement OF
women, however, and if the plays of the
ancients are to be revived, they must
submit to the inevitable law of progress
which has set woman upon a pinnacle
where she SCOTS at men of all ages and
| cycles who ever imagine her their in
ferior.
1t is only an instance of their magma
nimity that the "co-eds" do not insist
upon taking all the parts themselves;
but this they have generously refrained
from doing, and the result promises to
be production on which the Romans
themselves would gaze with awe and
wonder. The particular play which
they are going to give is the Mostel-
laria of Plautus, author of the famous
"Captivi," or "Captives," which is more
familiar to modern readers than most
classic plays.
The Mostellaria is to be a feature of
the commencement exercises at St.
Lawrence university which, as before
stated, is away up behind the hills not
far from the st. Lawrence river. Clas-
sic music has been written by Mrs. Flor

while thoroughly classic in its outline,
is sufficiently posterific in its coloring
to advertise the most modern literary |
production of a Kipling or Crane.
A libretto has been published which
is nothing less than complete blank
verse translation of the play. This also
is the work of graduates of the univer-
sity, and bears on its title page the

THE JAPs In TROUBLE.
They Are Awaiting tho Outcome
Of the Hawaiian Question.
A survey OF the situation from a
Military ana Political Point OF
View - England Doesn't
want Hawaii.
Copyright, 1901


The Japs are in trouble Just now
They are in what New Englanders call
"a state of mind" over the recent action
In regard to Hawaii. just what the
outcome win be is not yet clear. but at
the present moment a brief survey of
the situation, both from a military and
political point of view, cannot fail to be
of interest.
The United States now has at Homo
lulu the first-class cruiser Philadel-
phia, and that relic of by-gone days, the
Marion. The japanese government has
at the present time one ship at Homo
lulu, one on the way thither and an
other about to start
The Naniwa. now at Honolulu, is
cruiser built in 1885. She was consid-
cred very good man-of-war in those
days; in fact when the Naniwa first
came out she was thought to be the
best fboat of her class afoat. But that
was long ago. The Naniwa has no
armor. She is of only 3,7OO tons regis
ter, and her main battery consists OF
two ten-inch guns and six six-inch
guns.
The Philadelphia has an armament of
10 six-inch guns in her main battery
and strong secondary battery. The
Philadelphia is a more modern boat
than the NaDiwa, yet with her two
heavy guns the Naniwa would be a
tough morsel for the Philadelphia to
get away with. The Marion is tooth
less old dog of war, and has no modern

guns on board of her. She has one
muzzle-loading converted rife and six
nine-inch smooth bores. Still, her crew
might be useful for boarding purposes
If 1t came to that in Honolulu harbor.
What two ships of war of the japanese
navy are now on their way for Homo
lulu is not stated in the dispatches.
The United States could concentrate
in a short time.a powerful feet at Homo
lulu. The Pacific and Asiatic squad
rons are both within striking distance.
In the Pacific squadron, the flagship of
which is the Philadelphia, are the Ben
nington, a gunboat; the Marion, tub;
the Monterey, a coast defense vessel
of the double-turreted monitor type,
and the Oregon, a first-class battle ship.
In the Asiatic squadron are the gun
boats Detroit. Machias and Yorktown,
the old wooden steamer Monocacy, and
the first-class cruiser Olympia.
Annexation will save the islands to
the white man. is the cry of the Tepub-
hcans In Hawaii to-day" says an Eng
ishman with large business interests
in the Sandwich islands, who has just
passed through this country on his way
to Europe. Everyone there has ideas
on the subject-even thechildren- There
are as many authorities on annexation
in Honolulu as there are people in the
town. Throughout the business part of
the day the population is big debating
society. whose members argue the
scheme of becoming part of the United
States from every imaginable point OF
view.
Just at this moment there is a great
deal of talk about Japanese immigra-
tion. but it will not last long, and, i'm
tense as it is, it does not put the peren-
NAL question of annexation in the back
ground. The supreme court. sitting in
Honolulu, has declared that the Japa,
nese have no rights under treaty until
they are landed and have become actual
residents. 1t declares that prevent.
ing them from landing is an executive
act, not judicial, and that the treaty |
has no effect upon an executive act. |
This reasoning is much like that of the |
supreme court of the United States |
when it passed on the Geary act. Japan
doesn't wish Hawaii, and Hawaii re-
fuses to take any moreJspanese coolies

CURRENT COMMENT.
AN UNFINISHED PUBLIC CAREER.


(New York SUM-
The journalists who are arranging for
the Hon. Thomas Bracket Reeds retire
lnent from public life at the end of the
present. Congress are probably losing their
time and wasting their ink. The Speak
er has yet to attain the prime Of his po-
Iiticel career, and he Is not gutter.
What would American politics be in
the last years Of the nineteenth century
without Tom Reed in the chair, or at
least in the very front row OF seats?
he has grown, in the estimation OF both
friends and foes, more rapidly during the
last ten years than any other statesman
Of any party during the same period. He
has shown himself Hercules where =
strong man was needed. The record Of
his services in steering the uncertain, in
suppressing the fools, and in promoting
the serious business OF legislation gem
orally, would probably astonish the coun-
try if it were candidly and fully written
The circumstance that while everybody
admires the Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed,
more or less, there has never been found
around him any particular sect or circle
of personal idOlaUors, is not his least dis
tinguished claim upon public gratitude.
His sense OF hunor, as keen and as sane
as any mans since A braham Lincoln, has
preserved from that fate. He cannot tole-
rate humbug, even humbug about him
self. The people need him in a conspicu-
GUS place, If only as an object lesson.
Avaricious of wealth? That is not Tom
Reeds character. Besides, what merely
professional income could compensate
MIN for the life which his own genius
has arranged for him, and IN which he
rejoices as his muscles play2
Disappointed? We don't believe it. Ad-
ministrations come and administrations
go, but a reputation such as the Hon.
Thomas B. Reed has won on his own
individual merits endures. Who would
not rather have been Blaine or Henry
Clay than r. b. Hayesp
And the Speaker has this advantage
over either Clay or Blaine, that Destiny
has not yet closed the account with him.

construction. Certainly that will be the
case if the Board of Appraisers take a
different view of the meaning of the SEQ
ton from that which Attorney General
McKenna expressed in his rceert opinion.
Then, too, 1t is possible that the section
may be brought up again in Congress
for amendment that will make its mean
ing clearer, as Senator Elkins, who is
said to have had much to do with the
changes that were made in it in confer
ence committee, is understood to favor
such a move. There is little chance,
however, that Congress will strengthen
it in the direction that Mr.. Elkins wants
it strengthened, and just as little, per-
haps, that it will modify it SO that it
cannot possibly be made to apply to
goods brought throug h Canada from for
eign countries.
