REMARKABLE JAPANESE WOMAN

All college women of America must
feel an especial pride in the career of
the charming Steimatz Rama Kama, one
of the three young Nassar women edu-
Gated at Nassar college, 20 years ago,
by the Japanese government.
Private letters IRON the island en-
pire continue to bring interesting word
of this remarkable woman, the wire
now of Marquis Oyama, one of the
heroes OF the late war and beloved of
his nation. The marquise seems to be
fulfilling the prophecies of her class
mates OF two decades ago, who felt
that her personality must make an i'm
print on her time. Intensely loyal to
her country, she yet left here thor
oughly imbued with American prin-
ciples, and determined to aid in the
uplifting of her sex in Japan. Her
last words to her friends here were
to the effect that her ambition in life
henceforth was TO Cnlirhten and raise
her native sisters to the American
standard of education and dignity. OF
noble blood, her position, with her cdu-
cation, has afforded her unusual oo-
portunity to promote this desire. Her

influence to all who come in contact

practical work was constant. She sent
out from her own hands, aided by wom-
en- of all grades of society, enormous
quantities of carbolized gauze, with
great packages OF other sanitary sup
plies, to the seat of battle. She is pro-
noting many philanthropic schemes,
but none of them has she so much at
heart as the education of her sisters.
She IS using the influence of her own
and her husbands position to bring
about a change of native opinion con
corning japanese women. Believing
firmly in education as the chief factor
in the elevation of women, in this direc-

thought of her compatriots at a most
fortunate time.-N. Y. Times.

Mr.. Low and the Republican Party

This remark of the Herald concerning
the written and evidently carefully consid.
cred declaration and explanation with
which Mr.. Low accompanied his very
pious acceptance of a nomination by his
political agents, expresses an opinion
which, we are surprised to find, is enter
tanned in various quarters:
"Mr. Lows alIusion to changed conditions Is re.
garded as a hint to the Citizens Union tina, they
must not be shocked II a little later on he makes
disnined and perfectly proper overtures to the Pc.
publican machine"
The exact words so deliberately chosen
by Mr.. Low, to which the Herald thus
refers, are these:
1.-The situation with which I am called to deal 4.
essentially different from that which 7 contemplat d
in June. Others also must face the changed conii.

THE Hawaiian Islands should be con.

sign pOtrer should be permitted 10 interfere
NTH Hem.'
That is from the Republican platform OF
1896, last year.
A foreign power is attempting TO inter.
fere with ttc Hawaiian Islands in the
present year. 1897.
Diplomacy can take no notice of ultimate
motives, but common sense can, and public
sentiment does and must. The evidence
multiplies that there is a fixed prr-
pose on the part Of Japan to make
herself a factor in the question Of
the annexation Of Hawaii to the United
States. Unless the character of Japan's re.
ply 70 the Dole Governments unfortunate
offer TO arbitrate special cases in contrO-
versy has been entirely misrepresented, it
is substantially a demand that Hawaii
shall submit to the decision Of a third party
her sovereign right Of self. protection against
immigrants regarded as undesirable. To
extend the arbitration TO the broad ques.
ton Of Hawaii's right to make her own
laws would be a surrender Of independence
amounting to national suicide.
iulS Is interference WIN u vengeance 4.
and under the graceful forms of japanese
diplomacy appears the arrogance of a Wig.
orous young power possessed with the
pride of recent martial achievement and
the hope Of a magnificent destiny as the
Empire of the Islands of the Pacific.
THE Hawaiian stands should be con-
trolled by the United States, and no foreign
power should be permitted to interfere
with them"
OF all the duties now before the Admin
istration none is more urgent or more i'm
perative than the settlement for all time of
the Hawaiian question. The one way to
render impossible any interference by
any foreign power in the affairs Of the Ha-
waiian Islands is to make Hawaii a part Of
the Union. What was shamefully undone
in the first year Of ~CLEvELAND's second
term must be Eloriously completed in the
first year of MCKISLEY's Administration.
