PESSIMISM.

What is il that produces pessim-
ism in the average man? A writer
in the New Orleans Times Democrat
argues that high living and pessim-
ism are nearly allied. The love of
high living absorbs faith in all the
many things which, to the average
man, make the Joy of living. The
more good dinners the pessimist
eats the worse he feels, and the
more gloomy the world appears to
him.
On this theory, it would be plain
that an extra good meal the other
day must have preceded the COM
position of the jeremiad upon the
uncertainty of annexation to which
the town was treated the other
morning, No honest chop or juicy
beefsteak was that the product of ;
no modest cut of mutton inspired
those gloomy sayings, those grim
Vaccinations of defeat. One could
trace the argument through sOnbe a
la refine, washed down with amen

sion. The roast ducks were plainly
in view when Mckinley lost faith
i'll the treaty, and the dry cham
payne fairly drowned the Repub-
lican party's aspirations.
This all comes of living in Wash
ington a course of Honolulu diet
will, doubtless, sweep away every
vestige of pessimisin, and even the
Japanese question-which had a
most disgruntled appearance yes
terday-will assume different pro-
portions after a course of poi and
fish. That is what makes us all so
light-hearted here we can't get
high living even if we wanted it,
and so we go through life believing
in patriotism, in love, in honesty,
in truth and in purity, fixing Our
eyes upon ideals which would soon
disappear were we able to dine on
turbot, dtnde hOntee, and top of
with iced pudding and maraschino.
Curious how closely allied the
stomach and the brain are, A
course of Honolulu dinners will
drive the pessimism out of the most
hardened cynic. In six months
from now the hand that pens
gloomy thoughts and prophecies,
beside which Cassandra's were but
Sunday-school stories, will be trac.
ing sonnets on lambkins, bopeep,
and all the sweet simplicity of al
arcadian existence. The dull look
of black care will be replaced by the
gentle smile, the ugly dart by the
ribbon-decked shepherds crook, and
the harsh voice will be warbling
the sweetest and gentlest of idyllic
songs. Blest Frugality you are
the most charming nymph of the
bevy, when you can work such

A morning contemporary is out
for the incorporation of this city
and Hilo, and, in its advocacy of
its idea, it makes the statement
that, after annexation, if we need
"a sewer-pipe across Beretania
street." provision for it would be
made in the Capitol at Washing
ton. Now this is entirely mislead-
ing; the general law of the United
States allows powers to cities of
territories to elect their own NUM-
cipal officers, including mayors, and
regulates how much money they
can spend and how much they can
go in debt, depending upon the size
of the population. But it does not
seem as if this advocacy of corporate
existences for Honolulu and Hilo
was straightforward. There is a
very suspicious-looking fence, and
still more suspicious, dark gentle
man roosting in it. The article
smells Of feeler to test the public
pulse. What can the niger be?

JAPAN.

Konni Zilliacus, Swedish writer
of some celebrity, has been carefully
studying the Japanese. Anything
that throws light upon the Japanese
is interesting to US on the islands,
for the Japanese question is very
much in evidence before us.
Questioned upon the japanese,
Mr.. Zilliacus replied : "They are a
people with future, 1 think-if
their conceit does not carry them
too far. AS a people, they are in
ordinately ambitious and, though
they join in the cry of Asia for the
Asiatics, in their inmost hearts
they feel Asia for the Japanese. ,"
He then goes on to show how NOR
bidly anxious the japanese are to
appear we'll with the Western ma
tons, and says that one of the
Toxic papers, published in English,
has large subsidy from the Mi
kado's government to represent
matters as the Japanese wish the
British public to see them" He
points out the serious rivalry that
there must be in commercial matters
between Japan and the Western
nations, and feels satisfied that
when the attention of Europe is
taken up with domestic troubles
Japan will attempt to annex the
Philippine Islands. The Hawaiian
annexation question had not come
up when Mr.. Zilliacus was in Japan,
but it would be quite plain to a
man of his political acumen and
generalizing powers.
:" If their conceit does not carry
them too far" This sizes up the
japanese in a nutshell. 1t is one
of the rocks sticking up out of the
ocean of self-sufficiency upon which,
sooner or later, Japan will split.
You see the trait prominent in the
vernacular journalism such trans
lations of recent Japanese works as
fall into ones hands and you see il
in the speeches of Count Okuma.
From the japanese point of view,
the Japanese has, mentally, no su-
perior in the world. But the Japan
csc is initiative, not creative.
In her initiative policy of Great
Britain, Japan desires to become a
great sea-power; and, to become a
great sea-power, Japan needs posi-
tions dotted about the Pacific ocean
where, in case of war, she may have
convenient coaling stations Up to
the present, her eyes are only fixed
upon the points she wishes to have
but she will strain every nerve to
keep those points in such a shape
that when the fruit is ripe it may
be easily gathered. 1t is to this end
that the protest is made against the
annexation to the United States.
Once these islands become an in
tegral part of the United States,
and future coal stations here vanish.
The Government of Japan has no
thought of immediate annexation,
but it wants the fruit to remain un-
plucked. On the other hand, the
people clamor for overt acts. The
Government is not strong-it may
give way to popular clamor, or it
may be swept away, and then a
dash might be made for these islands
before anyone could be prepared.
The best way of preventing such a
catastrophe is for the United States
to annex the islands.

ard that might make difference"
Stella questioned sgain relentlessly:
do you want me to go?"
Her father did not answer quickly
When he did speak his voice was per-
fectly steady.
THAT need not make any difference.
She says you can have anything you
want. She married again, and she is
rich. Why. Stella he tried to put a
fiimsy enthusiasm irto his tone, "don't
you see that you can 60 to school. And
music. Stella, your voice."
Stella kept herself stubbornly to her
questioning.
"Wby does she want me, did she gay
why?"
He answered evasively.
"No-that is she is your mother and
Lee is dead"
Stella's face softened.
"How did he die?" che asked gently.
"He had pneumonia," he would have
stopped. but he could not lie to the eyes
SO nesr his own, he died before they
had doctor. They did not think he

with authority. Il will think and we

He watched her 60 and stified sense
OF disappointment in her and himself.
He could not expect her to feel as he
did. And he was selfish enough to wish
that she had not waited to decide.
In the morning when he made the fire
in the kitchen stove, he took the letter
from his pocket and watchedit burn.

blushed a little. The clear dawn. the
wide. open paririe, the cool air in the

father tipped over his coffee at the break

After breakfast Stella went about her
work without answering the wistful i'm
patience in her fathers eyes. He got his
pony snd drove the sheep slowly out Of
the corral. He felt irritated with them.
He was nervous when his dinner bucket
rssped against the saddle. He felt in
