If the tariff is reported direct to

able that the reciprocity clause

that enough votes can be obtained

As fnanciers, the Populist mem
bers of the last Kansas legislature
are now being put down as most
remarkable. One member who
had a $4,000 mortgage on his place
went home Immediately after the
session closed and cleaned up all
his debts. Others who went to the
legislature to make a fight against
capital, returned home with plenty
of money, yet they received
from the State only So a day for
fifty days and paid their own ex-
penses. Legislators of Kansas
ought not to be anxious for free
silver when they can stretch $50
to pay off $4,000 debts.

AMERICANS IN ENGLISH HIS
TORY.

The discussion of the manner in
which American school histories
deal with the British In the war of
the Revolution has led to an inves-
tigation of how the English his
tories treat American heroes and
the notable events III which they
figured. For fair unimpassioned
treatment the English histories GER
tainly have an advantage over the
American.
The United States Bureau of
Education has taken the matter IN
hand and It's findings may be taken
as an honest review. \ circular
recently issued contains the state
ment that the examination OF
thirty-four English text books now
In use revealed not ''the slightest
unkind reference to the United
States in any one of them" a
reader, called ''The Story of Eng
land" speaks of the troubles with
American colonies as beginning in
1865. "The thirteen colonies said
they had no members to represent
them In Parliament, and that, as
British subjects may not be taxed
without their own consent, they
ought not to pay taxes to the Brit
ish government at home" Col.
George Washington, spoken of as
the leader of the rebel forces, is
credited with having gained indy
ing fame "by his cool courage,
frmness, and skill throughout the
war; Still another author of an
historical reader says that Wash
ington did not want to fight against
the King. ''but he loved freedom,
and he thought the King was treat
ing the colonists unjustly."
''Modern England" pays the
highest tribute to Washington. To
him is credited the success of the
colonists. He is described as ''the
type of an English gentleman; a
man without eloquence and of
great modesty; but having great
administrative powers, moderation
and self control" The same book
gives King George III few recon-
mendations. 1t says: "The chief
causes of the long and disastrous
conflict are to be sought in the high |
notions of prerogative held by
George I'LL, his infatuated and
stubborn self will, and in the equal
ly absurd self conceit of his Eng
lish subjects"
Thus it will be seen that the
British historians are directing the
minds of the young people of Eng
land to consider the American re-
volutionists as honorable men who
exercised the right, accorded
every British subject, to fight for
freedom from oppression.

japanese papers received by the
Belgic indicate that as more Is
learned of the Hawaiian affair, ia
pans opinions are clothed in less
lurid hues. Not that we infer the
Japanese are inclined to withdraw
from their assertion of treaty
rights, but they have learned that
peace and quiet reigns in Hawaii
and there is no occasion to be fear
full of any forcible demonstration.
For a country in which sanguin-
airy outbreaks are the exception
rather than the rule, Hawaii gets
more credit for being in constant
turmoil than any place on the face
of the globe. Newspapers in ia
pan and the United States occa-
sionally give their readers flash
light views of Hawaii and after the
first lurid glow our affairs are left
in darkness; the reports are found
to be without foundation, dis
patches are condensed to a few
lines and outsiders hear nothing
more of us till the next flash APP
pears This is unfortunate since it
causes disgust among the people
we want to bring here and attracts
adventurous spirits. The present
agitation will doubtless fire many
japanese hearts with an unquench-
able desire to come to Hawaii.
