THE FRIEND AND THE
BACCHANTE.

The Friend, in the interests Of
decency, protests against the ac-
ton of the managers of the Bos-
ton Public Library, in placing
within its halls. as the Friend
says, IAN extremely lewd statue
called the Bacchante," and it de
clares that a society which cher
ishes such art is on the high road
to utter rottenness."
We notice this comment. be
cause false notions about "decen-
cy" and "lewdness" have laid
thousands, if not millions, of suf-
fering women in their graves, and
sadly misled as many promising
young men. The immortality of
the moralists is a most dangerous
thing. If the Boston community,
imbued with Puritan principles
for 200 years, must 90 to pieces at
the sight of Bacchante. there
is something rotten in those prin-
ciples. They are like the sailors
monkey, which, he said, had plen-
ty of brains, but was only skin
deep in his personal piety. Better
cross, at once, some Hottentot
blood on the Puritan stock and
improve it, so that it will have
enough staying power TO look at
a Bacchante and not 90 to pieces.
When God made man, in his own
image, he made nothing "lewd"
in him. 1t is the immortality of
the moralists that discovers it.
Mrs. d. Lozier, noted woman,
opened a school for girls in New
York in 1885. She taught them
physiology. The parents with
drew their daughters on the
ground that it tended to produce
''rottenness" and "lewdness." 1t
was the immortality of moralists.

habit of making a little money on
the side by selling photographs

The writer remarked that pic

compartment of divinity, but out
of the kindness of his American
heart he couldn't blame the man
ager for making the most of his

THE WEEPING NATION. .

The Nation New York; finally
gave up its attempt to run this
Republic, on the ground that it
was in the hands of "adventur-
ers and thieves" and set about
reforming the politicians of its
own State. 1t said that Mr..
Choate was the best man for Fed
eral Senator, and Mr.. Plat was
the worst. But Mr.. Platt is now
Senator, and the Nation is now,
as it was in our matters, renting
its garments, covering itself with
dust and ashes, and filing the
woods with lamentation over the
wickedness of men who refuse to
take its advice.
The Nation, like men who study
life through loopholes, does not
see that the average voter elects
the average man, and that Mr..
Plat, and not Mr.. Choate, is the
average man. IF men above the
average get into Office, it is usu-
ally by accident, as it was in the
case of President Lincoln. The
Nation is willing that Mr.. Plat
should cultivate, and water, and
prune the political tree, but when
the fruit is ripe and is ready to
drop, it wants Mr.. Choate to
open his mouth and let it drop in,
and asks Mr.. Platt to sit on the
fence and look on. The Nation
has a hard time of it, because it
spends its waking hours in kick
ing at the stone wall of the i'm
possible. It's honesty is not to be
but it needs some in
struction from a pOt-house poll
tician on human nature, and ''the

In reply to communication

the Louisiana Planter prints the
following in it's issue of Jan. so.
In this Issue will be found
letter from one of our correspond

which he takes issue with us in re-
gard to our fears recently ex-
pressed that the rapid growth of
the sugar industry in the Sand
wich Islands would seriously
affect our domestic sugar indus
try. Our fears were based upon
the rapid and entirely unexpected
increase in the production of
sugar in the Sandwich Islands,
far beyond What had been expect
ed, beyond what was declared
possible by the agents who nego-
tiated the reciprocity treaty some
twenty years ago. That the in

states that some $4,000 tons of
sugar will be shipped from Ha-
waii to Atlantic ports this year,
and that some $4,000 tons will
be shipped to San Francisco. We
thus find some 227,000 tons of
foreign sugars entering our mar
ket free of duty in competition
with our home product, while

The trouble with the Nicaragua

The trouble with the Nicaragua
Canal Company is this: The
contract under which it had
rights has expired. The contract
provided that no foreign govern
ment should have any control
over the canal, but the company
are trying to put it in the control
of the Government of the United
States, and the Government of
the Central American Republic
is mad about it. Then, the con-
tract provided that the Govern
ment of Nicaragua should have

that out. Senators from the great
Middle States are much more in
terested in getting money out If

project, But, as we reiterate,
things are moving, and the fish
slowly head for our little net,
which we patiently keep open
here. The canal will be con
structed.

We hear that a Budda temple
has been erected in Hawaii and
that there is a number of Budda
priests, in the Islands. Probably
the temple is for Shinto worship,
as that is the religion of the com
mon people. In importing the
Japanese we also import their re
ligion and It's teachers. The pros
poets are that in time the Budda
and Shinto temples will outnum-
Der all other church edifces in

new associations, contact with 9TH
er people, the example of those
who profess other religions will be,
on the Japanese residents, will be
watched with great interest and
with some anxiety by many.

intelligent men OF the WeL-ln1ornl

these Islands.
It Is one of the curious feature:
Of our conduct here, during the
last three years, that we have not
recognized the supreme value Of
a cheap edition of a reliable his
tory Of these Islands, for the pro
lection Of our political and com
mercial Interests. This was sug-
cested to the Commissioners in
Washington, when they were ne
gotiating the annexation treaty
with President Harrison. Mr.
Thurston and Mn. Castle, with
their usual snap, saw the value of
1t. but there was no one to write
1t. An enterprising publishing
house said that half a million of
copies could be sold at once, if
printed. Professor Alexander's
history, revised to date, would
have answered the purpose admira
bly. More than this, there should
have been then, and should be
now, a reliable cheap edition for
free distribution from a bureau in
