memorial, the spirit of that immor- tai instrument, the declaration of American independence, and es- pecially the truth herein expressed that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov erned, and hear repeat that the con- sent of the people of the Hawaiian islands to the forms of government imposed by the so-called republic of Hawaii, and to the said proposed treaty of annexation, has never been asked by and is not accorded ,, to either the said government or the said project Of annexation.
 This appeal of thenatiye Hawaiians is deserving of the serious atten- ton of the United States. The government of Hawaii is in the hands of q mere cabal, q number of American adventurers who have foisted themselves upon inc people of that unfortunate country. In the treaty of annexation the masses of the natives have been given no more bearing CT consideration than the people of the United States. The annexation scheme is steered by few trusts and corporations, which desire annexation in order to escape the tariff on impor- tations of sugar When the matter comes up in Congress the scheme will no doubt meet with the stub- born opposition of Senators. The best statesmanship of the country is opposed to this Don Quixote scheme of the Jingocs It would l place additional responsibilities up- on this government not met with eompensating advantages. It would be entering upon a career of foreign cOnques Is that would be likely to entaagle this government with for. eign nations, "a condition that shonId be avoided by the statesman- ship of this country.

 The glasses were going round when the man who had been i'll the navy spoke: Wait a minute, boys. We've had several. Let me give you tip that l learned when l was on the China sta tion. You are pretty good drinkers, you Kentucky boys, and you can hold your own with anybody, east, west or north, who tries to put you under the table But unless you carry out my plan don | you ever stack yourself mp against all Englishman and especially all army CT a naval officer. You could knock him out on whisky, but he doesn't drink it, except ill the shape of smoky Scotch and Irish abominations. But cham pagne, burgundy, claret, ale, sherry, madeira, port, pulque i'll Mexico sak} in China, palm liquor i'll Africa, bam- boos and shandygaff i'll India, steer clear of them-that is, unless you have the good luck to meet certain little, vel low faced, wizened creole from Loaisl ana whose recipe is passed around the mess table of United States men-of-war to this day.
 1'It started in the old days when tho British officers always had the pleasure of outstaying their American guests or hosts whenever two ships met on for eign stations. Then that little yellow devil came along with his trick, and the Englishman has Aeyer since come out better than second iii any drinking bout. The secret? Olive oil.

Some time ago il was decided by the secretary of war to make a practical examination of all goods in order to discover the best ration for soldiers on forced march \ board was appointed, and after a thorough ex. animation it recommends the mem given above, This recommendation has been approved by the assistant secretary of war It is now being considered by Secretary Lamont
 In tho long list of foods considered by the board oatmeal bread, bread made from whole wheat, pemmieans or meat paste, corned beef, smoked beef and canned cooked beef were found espe- 2ially nutritious nut all had to stand aside for bread. bacon and soup The board also recommended coffee as I part of an emergency ration. It suggested that .ea, when called for, may be sub' stituted for coffee.
 The board considered tue efforts al concentration of coffee to be practically failures, declaring the solid extracts t@ have taste of coffee, while tho fluid ex- tracts have more flavor of ehicory thaA of coffee.

G0ID AND SIL TER MONET.

Statistics of the gold and silver production recently published are full of suggestion to the student of the monetary problem. Of late years the production of gold has in- creased very much more than the production of silver, yet the value of gold has risen and that of silver has fallen approximately.
 According to the estimates of Prof. Soetbeer, the average yearly production of gold in the first dee- ade of this century was 572, ,000 ounces, while the worlds output in 1896 was II ,250, 900 ounces, or nine- teen and ne.haif times the hequantity produced annually from 1901 to 1910, On the other hand, the average an nual output of silver from 1901 to 1910 was 27, 763, 000 ounces, and in 1896 the production was 16l ,000, 900 ounces, or five and one-half times the average output in the first dec ade Of the century Except in the eighth decade, the increase in the production of gold has been quite steadily maintained, while the pro duction Of silver has varied These changes have been due more to con. ditions peculiar to the great silver mining regions than to events which concerned the use of the metal as money, as is proved by comparison of the years of small production with those in which important monetary reforms adverse to silver were made.
 With so great a difference in the quantities of the metals produced, their values have been even more widely separated. Taking the French ratio of 154 ounces of silver to ounce of gold, which ruled for the first seventy years of the century, the mint value of.the silver output in lS95-the year of greatest pro. duetion-was about S204, 800, 900, while the mint ealGe Of gold iii 1896 the year of greatest gold produc- tion-was about $220, ,000000 The difference in value is more strongly impressed by the fact that in the same years the market value of sil- yer was scarcely $85, ,000, ,000, while the value of gold was 1920, 900, 900.
 1t is q notable fact in this connec- ton that the greatest increase in silver money has been made since 1873, according to the last report of Director Preston of the United States mint Tn his very exhaustive report on tho worlds currency he estimates the present gold money at $4. .359, 600, 000 and silver at $4, 4,268, 100000 He estimates the amount of gold money in the world in l873 to have been somewhat in excess of 8, GOO, GOO, GOO, and of silver money Sl, SIG, 900, GOO, so that in the last quarter century the amount of gold money has increased only 40 per cent, while the amount of silver coin has increased much moro than 100 per cent. ohicaao Reeold.
