A Government may, like an individ-

ton used to tell the following anec-
dote: An English gentleman, caught
in Paris, during the terrible days of the
Revolution of 1893, obtained from one
of the Revolutionary leaders a pass
which permitted him to leave Paris.

of the most devotional hymns in the
English language, was terrified at the

A STRANGE ERROR.

1t is generally believed that the
process of making laws is very
solemn, elaborate, and attended
with something like funeral cere-
monies. We once believed that
Legislators wore specially prepared
clothes, never permitted jokes in

Of the many reputable preparations
offered to build you up and restore lost

some people, and, therefore, ought not
to be used. MALT MURINE acts

very marked, and at all times bene-
fetal.

their presence, read the Bible con
stantly in order to keep Satan from
tempting them, and created around
themselves an environment of lofty
motives. While all this is true In
the ease of many Legislators, it Is
mot generally true, as any one may
know by reading Moorfeld Story :
book on "A Years Legislation" in
the United States. From this, one
would infer that in some States, the
people preferred to send their
freaks to the Legislatures in
stead of their wise men. Ia many
instances the proceedings of a boys
debating society would not suffer
in comparison with some of these
Legislative bodies.
Even In the American Senate,
singular carelessenss prevails, ow-
ing to the haste with which laws
are passed. In the new tariff bill,
a clause was inserted, while it was
before the conference committee,
that put a discriminating duty on
all foreign goods coming through
Canada into the States. 1t was a
deadly strike at the Canadian
Pacific railroad. The subject was
not debated in either branch OF
| Congress, and the clause would not
have been admitted if all the mem
bers of the conference committee
had noticed it. But the law is now
lsigued, and the discriminating duty
must be paid. Senator Chandler
apologies to his constituents for
permitting the clause to be slipped
in, without his knowledge. He
feels badly about it, and says, Il
hope to be forgiven by my consti-
tuents, but / shall never forgive
myself"
In the same conference commit
tee, by the omission of three or four
words, the meaning and intent of
the law was entirely changed. This
was done without the knowledge of
the members of the committee gen
orally. But it laid a discriminating
duty on goods imported in Euro
pean vessels, an act which Congress
has steadily refused to do hereto
fore. So seventy millions of people
lsolemply enact law which they
did not really desire 1t is said that
grave consequences are involved.
But the importance and wisdom OF
these laws is not our point. 1t is
to show that legislation on most
important matters is carelessly
done under the conditions of high
pressure, which exist in America.
If the same mistakes were made in
a boys debating society, the prin-
cipal of the school would interview,
with the usual appliances, the boys
who made the mistake.
The n. Y. Sun says that the
clause SO quietly put into the tariff
bill, discriminating against the
Canadian-Pacific railroad, ought to
be there, and Is excellent legisla-
ton. This view of the case has a
very practical ring in it. But it is
an argument really for abolishing
Legislatures, and substituting in
their places, the management Of a
few men. No doubt the few men
would make better laws, but it is
an abandonment of the very rug
ged road of Democracy.

A CLEAN GOVERNMENT.

Since the event of the negotia-
ton of the treaty OF annexation
In '93, the Government of this Re
public has studiously and persist
emily avoided the use of methods,
In advancing the cause of anneXa-
ton, which would have the slight
est appearance of being criticised
as doubtful" or corrupt" 1t
has refused TO follow ways of adj
vancing the cause, which states
men of eminent character IN Am
erica, would not hesitate to adopt.
1t has placed itself above suspi
cion. All friends of the Govern
ment cordially agree with it, in its
purpose to maintain its high inte-
gritty. At the same time, it is
probable that it has cleaned back
ward too severely at times.
But this extreme sensitiveness
of the Government has served one
purpose. 1t has shown most EN-
phatically that in Washington,
where much has been said about
the agents of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent swarming through the
Capitol with pockets full OF
money, there is no "barrel," and
neither lobbyist nor newspaper cor
respondent has been able to find
one.
While a ''free" invitation to Wis
il these Islands and inform them
selves, given to those who are
about to pass judgment on our
affairs. is the most simple, direct,
and thorough method of present
inc orr side of the annexation case,
our opponents would constantly
annoy those who accepted the IN
yitation, with charges OF being
eebought up" ''bribed with an ex-
cursion tickets" For this reason,
which goes more to the wisdom,
than to the morals of the practice,
it is impossible for the Govern
ment to appear in any way to Sc
cure favorable action, by doubtful
methods.
Owing to the unreasonable re-
action In Congress, at present,
against mourning any expenses
through investigating committees,
or what are called ''junketing COM
mittees," the Senate made no pro-
vision for the personal visitation
of these Islands, by a committee
of It's own. 1t is one of the curious
incidents In Congressional history,
that when a proposition Is made,
which is seriously claimed by
many statesmen, to "involve a new
departure from the old and tradi-
tional policy of the American peo-
pie" and besides, some serious
questions of facts are raised, Con-
gress does not appropriate a few
thousand dollars, in order that a
full personal examination may be
made. On the other hand, it will
vote $4,000 to build an interior
post office, or dredge a creek,
which can hardly be located on
the map. 1t is not opposition to
annexation which does all this, but
a sudden, distressing spirit of
economy.
