NEW STORIES RETOLD.

Certain members of the Chamber of
Commerce were discussing the ability
of Germans to drink beer, and one of
them offered to wager that any Teu-
ton out of a crowd at work on a build
ing near, by could drink gallon of
lager without stopping. The party APP
preached a sturdy-looliing stone ma
son, and the sporting man asked:
"Will you drink bucketful of beer
if l pay for it?" The mason thought
minute. well, L drink it if 1 can.
1 don't know, though. if 1 can. You
wait a minute" He disappeared into
Fort street, but returned mo-
ment later, smiling. GAIL right" he
said, 81 vas ready" They went into
an adjoining saloon and the Teuton
drang the gallon of lager without a
wink. Coming back to his mallet ami
chisel, he said: 81 vas not sure if 1
could drink pail OF beer or not, so
vent into The Criterion and tried n

Rudysrd Kipling Writes Another

Rudysrd Kipling Writes Another
Poem
The London Times publishes FIVE
stanzas by Rudyard Kipling, en-
titled "Recesslonal." The first stanza
is as follows:
God OF our fathers, known OF old
Lord Of our far-fung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
Describing the cessation of the
jubilee festivities, the poem con
tipues:
Lo, all our pomp OF yesterday,
Is one with Nlneveh and Tyre;
Judge OF the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.
Then, as a warning against idle
Boosting, the final stanza reads:
For heather heart that puts her
trust,
In reeking tube and irons hard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not thee to
guard;
For frantic boast and foolish word
This mercy on thy people,
Lord, amen.

Annexation of Hawaii.

While we in England are bending
all our energies to the celebration OF
the glorious anniversary of Tuesday
next, an event OF the utmost i'm
portance is proceeding in the other
continent. The projected annex
alton of Hawaii by the Government
of the United States, which is now
all but an accomplished fact, cannot
be without results of the moot far
reaching character, not only to the
United States but to the world at
large. No American Government
has ever before sought 10 take a
place as a colonising power among
the kingdoms OF the world. The
northern continent has hitherto con-
tented itself with the assertion OF
the Monroe doctrine, which holds
that no Eastern Power can be allow
ed to acquire fresh territory upon
the mainland Of America, and, apart
from it's longing look towards
Canada, the Government OF the
United States has never betrayed
any symptoms of the land-grabbing
fever. or course it must be admit
ted that the United States has every
right to take such precautions as it
thinks necessary to protect its
coasts, and we have no reason to OBJ
jsct. The greatest Of the American
naval strategists-so far as English
men know, the only one-Captain
Mahan, has declared that Hawaii is
the key OF the Pacific, and COM
mands the American seaboard on
that side. And in this state of
affairs what Power has more interest
in the command of the American
seaboard than the United States7
Japan has protested, but her pro-
test is little likely to be pressed to
an issue. 1t is stated this morning
that the Presidents friends are dis
appointed because he does not, in
recommending the annexation, give
any "great arguments OF State" The
political conscience of the nation"
it is said, will not otherwise be salts
fed. We have scarcely such an
opinion of the political conscience
in question. We prefer the Prssi-
dents attitude. 1t 10 more honest.
He sees that America wants Hawaii,
and he is in favor of taking it.

The United States and Hawaii.

1t is probable that the people of
the United States are about to make
new departure in national policy
and to begin to annex. The Presi-
dent is understood to be in favour
OF allowing Hawaii to enter the Uni
on as "territory." Certainly no
objection will be made by this coun-
try, and il Japan has objections they
are are not likely to be pressed. The
people OF Hawaii are anxious for the
protection of America; and unless
the Senate prefers to stand by the
old tradition which enforces the wis
dom OF avoiding all such occasions
for foreign complications as distant
colonies afford, the annexation is
likely to be speedily accomplished.

All the states giving tn cir electoral

gave their electoral votes to McKin-
ley; every state voting for Jefferson
Davis in 1861 voted for Bryan in 1896.
We do not mean to imply by this that
Mr.. Bryan is following in the foot
steps of Jefferson Davis, but we do
mean to say that Mr.. Bryan and his
teachings were as unlike Abraham
Lincoln and his teachings as was
Jefferson Davis and what he taught.
Lincoln made no pretentionS to being
a reformer. The so-called reformers
in his own party in those days were
the AbolitiOnists, and the Abolition
leaders bitterly denounced the cleo
tion of Lincoln. The reformers in
the other party stood upon practically
the same states rights platform that
Mr.. Bryan stood upon this year. 1t
