To the men who lived to see the
consumation of the victory, this
monument of flowers is a loving
tribute To comrades, To the young
er generation it teaches the lesson
that the highest honor attainable
Is gained in service for ones coun-
try and the support of the princi-
pies Of freedom and justice, that
each citizen has more than a selfish
duty to perform whatever his sta
ton IN life. 1t Is said that as long as
theveterans live their influence will
always be cast on the side of peace
and against a hasty rush to arms
for the settlement of political DIFF
ferences. The annual assembling
of the people throughout the Unit
ed States and IN this country where
American sentiment rules, calls to
mind the horrors of war as well
as It's glories. The people are
brought in close touch with his
tory of the past and the lessons
1t teaches. By no means the least
instructive features of today is,
that while 1t is high honor to fight
for the right, every pacific meas
ure should be brought into service
before resorting to the arbitrament
of the bullet.

The Japan Gazette refers TO the
sale Of forty million yen worth OF
japanese war bonds in England, as
the FIRST mstalIment of the self
imposed penalty inflicted for the
AXE Of expansion" This loan
from Great Britain's bondholders
IS regarded as a lien upon the IN
dependence of Japan, for no mas

truth than poetry in the comment
IF the Japan Gazette, at the same

works both ways. While Japan
may have placed itself more or less
under the thumb Of the British
bondholder, it may also be fairly
well assured of his good offices in
times Of trouble In these days of
international combinations it does
not always follow that the most
independent nation is the most sue
cessful in attaining It's ends.
While there may be no love lost
between the British and the Japa-
nese, these people have a common
interest in watching the maneuver-

in the Orient, Already Japan has
a grievance in consequence of the

The rumorologist is getting IL

from the assertion that within the
next few weeks the sugar factors
of the United States and the Unit
ed States Congress will decide una
nimously in favor of annexation,
to the statement that women and
children are leaving town for fear
of trouble with Japan. The best
suggestion we can offer is to re
commend that the public keep cool
and remember that it is not always
best to believe everything heard
on the street. We have no doubt
in the final realization of annexa-
ton to the United States, but we do
not consider the time has arrived
when our people can shut up their
shops, cease their effort for annex
alton and sit back with the supreme
confidence that the glad day has
come. If there are such over con
fdent people, it might be well for
them to read the history of reli-
gious sect some of whose members
thought they were going up in
1881, As to the japanese rumors,
we suppose that some of our
japanese residents are predict

CHIEF JUSTICE JUDD.
Cordial Treatment By Washing
tonians During His Visit There.

Cordial Treatment By Washing
toniaus During His Visit There.
The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Independent, in the is
sue of May 10, writes as follows:
The Chief Justice of Hawaii and Mrs
! Judd spent last week in Washington
the guests of Mr., and Mrs. John w
Foster. Mr.. Judd is son of the we'll
known missionary who went out to the
Hawaiian Islands in 1920. and broth
er of Mrs. Carter, wife of the late Min
lister of Hawaii at Washington.
Though it is seventeen years since
their last visit to this country, they
found many old friends in Washington
delighted to see them: and the charm
ing personality of both added to the
circle many new friends. They were
entertained at dinners and receptions
and there was much regret that their
visit could not be extended another
week, especially among naval officers
who have been to Hawaii and there
enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the
Judd mansion, and who would have
been glad to acknowledge the courtesy
in their Washington homes had there
been time.
As II was, Admiral and Mrs. Walk
er gave dinner in honor of Mr.. and
Mrs. Judd; and after the dinner they
went to the White House and had an
hours visit with the President and
Mrs, Mckinley.
They will visit relatives in New Eng
land, and then go to the commence
ment at Yale College, where their two
sons win be graduated and return with
their parents to Hawaii, Chief Justice
Judd talked freely of Hawaiian af-
fairs, and declared the Republic to be
firmly founded and prosperous. He
did not regard the statements made
from time to time by Julius Palmer.
eX-Queen Liliuokalani's secretary, as
important enough to warrant contra
diction, believing the facts to be too
well understood by the American peo-
pie. 1t will be remembered that Chief
Justice Judd is one of the four men
whom the ex-Queen refused to pardon,
even on President Cleveland's offer to
restore her throne.
All but four of the "Dole Govern
ment" she desired to have banished,
But Chief Justice Judd, ex-Minister
Thurston and two others she declared
must be beheaded. OF course, her de-
cision settled the, restoration business
with Mr., Cleveland, who at once with
drew his offers of assistance The
presence of the ex-Queen in Washing
ton at this time is regarded as a pro-
test on her part against annexation.
AT the same time, should annexation
be- assured, the ex-Queen would be
where she could avail herself of the
opportunity to treat for a pension OF
life annuity.
1t need hardly be said that the ex-
Queen and Chief Justice and Mrs.
Judd exchanged no calls last week. BY
a strange coincidence also, on the dav
of the Inauguration the ex-Queen oc-
cupied seat in the Senate gallery
quite near Attorney General Smith of
Hawaii. Mr. Smith was one of the
four men doomed to the block by Lii

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Independent in
reviewing the vote of the Senate
on the arbitration treaty shows
that the division of votes was not
on party or sectional lines. Thirty
Republicans and thirteen Demo
Gratis voted for the treaty and vot-
ing against it were twelve Demo
Gratis, nine Republicans and five
Populists. Twelve of the Senators
voting for it are from the South,
fourteen from New England and
the East and seventeen from the
North, Ten from the South voted
against it, two from the East and
fourteen from the West. "The
defeat of the treaty is not regarded
as any rejection of the policy of
arbitration, but, on the contrary,
the impression prevails that it will
lead sooner or later to universal
treaty between Christian nations,
that would substitute arbitration
for warfare. But to have
ratified this treaty At this time, it
is claimed would have been to
indorse Great Britain's
'unChristian foreign
poliey.'n

This case fits exactly the condi-
ton of affairs that might arise IN
this country Hawaii has no law
defining scorching as a sin punish
able by the courts, but it does have
law against fast riding and driv-

same courtesy of the road as the
man on horseback or in a carriage,
and the public demands that the
bicyclist shall also be thoughtful
of others. American law makes
the. scorcher, in case of accident,
liable civilly or criminalIy. For

strain be may be prosecuted for
assault and battery, and if he kills
a human being while going at an
''immoderate rate of speed he may
be convicted of manslaughter.

Under the Flag of the Hudson
Bay Company.
Mrs. Emma Shaw Colcleugh read an
interesting paper, at the home of Mrs
C. B. Damon last evening, on her ex-
periences during the summer of 1894
in the Hudson Bay Colony. Some sc
or 60 people were present and listened
to the lecturer with marked attention.
Mrs. Colcleugh has traversed many
countries in search of curious phases of
live and interesting experiences. She
has been a close observer during her
travels, and has allowed no detail to
escape her.
Last evening Mrs. Colcleugh took
her hearers through picturesque re-

DECORATION DAY.

Erecting monuments TO CONNIE
morate the name and deeds Of ma
lonaI heroes Is a custom that
reaches 50 far back IN the history
OF the world, that 1t may well be
termed a characteristic Of human
nature. BY the erection Of memo
rials in stone and bronze the people
OF the United States have followed
IN the wake Of the world, but to the
United States alone and particular
lvto the survivors of the war of the
Rebellion has remained the distine-
ion Of setting apart one day in the
wear when the people with their
own hands shall erect anew
the monument to the honored
dead. Structures Of stone raised
10 keen fresh IN the minds OF the
people the prominent heroes have
their place; they are in a measure
mile stones marking the progress

them and contemplate with pride
the career Of those who formed the

tional trial.

When Minister Shimamura and fam

The Institution of Decoration
Day. however, has brought about
custom which appeals more
directly to the hearts of the
people and serves to keep brighter
the principles for which the men
of a fast dwindling generation
gave their lives. Each wear the
people place above the graves Of
soldiers Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic a monument Of flowers.
II withcrs and dies, but each year
II Is replaced, thereby turning the
mind Of each and every citizen to
contemplation of what that monu-
meut represents. Memorials made
by unknown hands never will and
never can exert the same influence
upon the individual as the one
which he with his hands assisted
IN raising.
On Decoration Day it Is not
alone the leaders whose memory Is
honored. There were heroes in the
rank and file. men whose names
were unknown beyond the limit of
their own company, but whose 10y
atty to home and country was none
the less true. Leaders are useless
without the phalanx behind them
in which each individual is inspired
with the determination to act well
his part, To do his full duty as a
man and soldier. This tribute
70 the soldier, TO each and every
man who responded to the call
when his country was in peril is the
grand feature of the day. Even
those whose fate was to rest in the
grave marked unknown" are not
forgotten.

Reports in the vernacular papers
received from Japan by the last
steamer suggest the probability of

being submitted to the information

two contending parties can come

Story of a ScarecroM.

There is an honest Swede employed as
Z gardener in the East End, and his DELHI
crate speeches are a source of much delight
TO his employer. He has been much an
noyed by thieviSh birds, and a few DAYS
ago suggested that "a scarecrow would be a
good thing. 1t took him some time to
make the employer understand what he
meant, but finally he realized it was a
dummy bird scarer, LAX in OF country"
The employer fell in with the idea and
told the Swede TO rig up a frame. When
this was completed the latter was given d
bundle OF cast-of clothing to deck out his
dummy. He looked askance at the gar
ments as he put them on the sticks and
was evidently much impressed by their ex-
cellent condition. He glanced down at his
own clothes from time to time and seemed
to be making a silent comparison. Present.
ly he put the scarecrow in the garden and
returned to his employer, who stood at
some little distance. He looked at the work
OF art with his head very much on one side,
and finally said:
Say. mister
We'll, john"
"Ay tank maybe it was better l change
clothes with scarecrow, or else stand myself
in his place"
He couldn't bear to see the dummy wear
ing better clothes than he did.-Cleveland
