It was related by Mrs. Beecher that during their courtship Mir. Beecher once dropped into poetry" and wrote a few lines of verse teeming with affection for his sweetheart But the verses were always kept sacred by Mrs. Beecher. and nothing could win them from her.
 One day MT. and Mira Beecher were in the office of Robert Bonner. the pub fisher.
 "Why don't you write 0 poem. Beech er2" said Mir. Bonner.
 ''He did once. <" said Mira Beechex.

 And although Robert Bonner offered to double the sum first offered he never got the poem from Mrs. Beeche9. It had been hidden away ever since by Mira Beecher and cherished as one of the dear est treasures her husband left hes.-Bos- ton Globe

attempts to state facts show clearly
that he doesn't know what he Is
talking about. This Government
has made no changes in the laws
relating 10 the admission of CON
tract laborers. 1t does however,
reserve the right require contract
laborers to Come to the country ac-
cording to the law. The writer of
the article evidently made up his
mind and then proceeded to manu-
facture facts to support his conclu-
sions. As TO his opinions ON an
neXatiOn, they may be taken for
what they are worth. Any one
who knows anything of the coun-
try IS aware that the japanese are
not voters and can't be under the
present Constitution. The easy
task" of creating a japanese cleo
torate is an impossibility. Any
man has a right to change his opin-
ions, but before this so-called "offi-
Ger of the Philadelphia" whether
he Is an officer or a San Diego
newspaperman, delivers any more
wise sayings to the public we would
suggest that he read up a little on
the subject.

The Board of Education has
done very well In the matter of
Executive sessions, but we believe
a grievous error was committed at
the last meeting when the public
was shut out from the investiga-
ton of matters that will be com
mon talk today. 1t is far better
for the public to know exact facts,
than it is for indefinite inklings to
be scattered about and the usual
hasty and often unjust conclusions
drawn therefrom. The ban of
secrecy always suggests a line of
attack upon the work of officials,
which if the facts were known
would not be given a second
thought. Having knowledge of
one of the principal matters occu-
pying the attention of the Com
sioners of Education yesterday,
we fail to see wherein public or
private interests were best served
by discussing the matter in hand
behind closed doors.

The letter of "an officer of the

friend should be taken as one of
the curiosities of correspondence
from Hawaii. can officer of the
Philadelphia" is a decidedly vague
term and might apply to any one
from the lowest ranked petty Off
Ger to the Admiral, consequently
the article takes the position of any
anonymous communication. As
the writer feared to sign his name
it cannot be said positively that an
officer wrote it, as we have known

Calhoun will recommend that the

interests here, and, with more force,
the frightful condition of the country
folk, which he knows from personal
experience.

JAPAN's HAWAIIAN QUESTION.

The principles OF international
comfy announced from time to
time by the japanese authorities
have been gratifying to all adj
mirerY OF the progressive spirit of
the Mikado's empire, and surely
have been reassuring to Ha-
waii In view of the immigration
question between the two countries.
We admit, that the demand
from Japan for indemnity, and for
the continuance of immigration
under the methods objected to at
the opening of the correspondence,
taking the information given out
on these points as reliable, Is some
thing of tumble from the lofty
principles above referred to, and
that any statement given to the
public fails to relieve the situation.
Some allowance may however
be made for japanese inexperience.
The nation having had but gene
ration in which to study diplomacy,
and being without traditions in
this field, cannot be held to the
same discretion, as Is expected from
the Western nations. We feel as
sured, that the japanese Govern
ment means well, as to general
principles; It's difficulty is to apply
them.
When Count Okuma said, in
recent speach in the House of Rep
resentatives, that diplomacy must
be based on justice" he sounded
a key note of progress, creditable
alike to himself, and the Govern
ment he represented. Undoubted-
ly Japan wishes to conduct its for
eign relations upon the lines of
this advanced sentiment, but like
many another nation finds it hard
to do so.
1t is perhaps to be admitted that,
with its pronounced diplomatic
principles, Japan in initiating It's
correspondence in the immigration
matter, should have stated It's case,
and asked for Hawaii's explana
ton, following western precedents,
instead of announcing its cOnclu-
sions, and making demands based
upon what must have been an eG
pdTte examination, and it is most
probable that it will come to see
that an exhaustive study of the
evidence in the hands of the Ha-
waiian Government, relating to the
conduct of the immigration COM
panies. is desirable in view of the
Importance of its own understand
ing of the case.
If such companies have been at
tempting to evade the Hawaiian
regulation, the japanese Govern
ment will want to know it, not only
for a clear understanding of the
main Issue, but also for the protec
ton of its own subjects, and the
prevention of acts tending to cast
discredit upon japanese business
methods.
Whether it is in the right, or
not, it does not appear that the
Hawaiian Government has had, as
yet, an opportunity of making the
full explanation, which it is sup |
posed to be ready to make, and the
japanese Government certainly
will not come TO any final conclu-
sion before it is in possession of all
fha fonfS
