of the stories about the beastly

Self interest is in the end a

is a money loss in these acts of
cruelty. Someone suffers finan-
cially. This suffering finally
reaches the reason, if not the con-

rule. well treated on the Ameri-

Good Friday, Captain Barker forbade
the use of meat by the crew, that he
caused the officers to dress in white
robes and attend in the officers quar-
tiers, where large candles were burn
in; that he brought a priest on board
to administer the rites and on his de-
parture, the crew were ordered to sa-
lutte him at the gangway, and the
signer of the letter says he was punish
ed for refusing to salute.
The newspapers took up the matter,
and made it hot for Captain Barker
He was accused of infamous conduct
and desire to convert the crew to the
Roman Catholic faith. He was at last
compelled to write to the Navy De-
partment and state that there was abb

cal equipment of poles, wires,

sets lies in the fact that it is
practically impossible for any
other corporation to secure the
valuable contracts it has acquired,
in past years, from railways.
These have absolutely no market
value and yet they give a per-
manent value to the stock. In the
different States a taxation only of

its real values escape it alto

olive branch across the Atlantic,

pressed memorial to Queen Vic
toria, in this Jubilee year, in
which they said that Her Males
ty "reigns not only in the rever-
entail hearts of her subjects, but
in the. universal heart of women"
The reply was written ON Her
Majesty's personal letter paper,
and by her private secretary, in
which allusion is made to their
"touchingly expressed senti-
ments." Colonel Hay, the Amer
lean Minister writes, nothing
better done has been presented to
the Queen in the year of Jubilee"
This is high praise, indeed.
While the Daughters" have
thrown bridge across the bloody
chasm of national antipathy be-
tween the races, which, accord
ing to the newspapers is roaring
with torrents of hatred, what are
the Sons of the American Revolu-

their wives and daughters to be-
come an entering wedge for fe-
male supremacy? Will they per-
nit them to perform the duties of
statesmen? Will they degenerate
into the Husbands of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution. !"
If not, they must contrive some
scheme which will enable them to

the people. We are called 1.-THE

But not few travellers who have
seen much of the world say of us,
not enough intellectual life. Iso-

rather indOlent mentally, but of
course there are exceptions.
Our men are busy, and our wo-
men do much visiting, and the in
terruptions to systematic study
are many, and the visitors take up
a good deal of time, and out of it
all comes little crystalized work.
The Kilohana Art League is an
organized movement for creating
a better social, artistic and intel
lectual life. One thing is certain.
If our young people grow up here
and do not find the right kind of
social life, they will try to get it
away from this place, or sink down
to general mental Indifference.
We choose to give our children
many advantages in the way of
education. There is danger that
we may educate them to leave us,
unless we furnish them that which
satisfies them, especially in a
place distant from the social add
3antages," whatever they may be.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

We print elsewhere a brief ac-
count of Booker T. Washington,
called by many 'the foremost ne
gro of America" He has achiev-
ed a high reputation for intelli-
genee and executive ability, a
quality which is usually lacking in
the negro. He Is not pure black,
therefore, his final success or fail
ure will not determine the capacity
of the negro for self-improvement
or to cope with the white race.
The Dosition he takes regarding
his own race, for he calls himself a
negro, is that it must work out its
own salvation. This rule of life he
learned from his HAMPTON teacher.
The men who now deal most in
diligently with negro education
are inclined to give more and more
to industrial education, to
teach the negro how to make iv-
ING. by object lessons, rather than
to give him what Is called an 'edu-
alton" of books, and then turn

THE PLANTATION TAX CASES.

The decisions of the Supreme
Court in the Tax Appeal cases APP
peared in our issue of yesterday.
The principles adopted by the
Court in its review of the findings
of the assessors, are interesting
from a legal standpoint, because
our own Court is dealing with a
subject which the American
Courts touch gingerly, owing to a
very demoralized public senti-
ment on the matter of taxation.
The American Press has with sin
gular unanimity in the large cities
avoided any close discussion of
the subject, because the valuation
of the assets of the profitable
newspapers has been placed so
fraudulenty low by accommo-
dating assessors. in order to keep
the papers quiet on other matters,
that a free Press has been largely
Ia muzzled Press. The large cor
porations as a rule, prefer to
deal with the assessors rather
than take questions of valuation
into Court and expose their bust
ness.

indicates that there is much

cuisines between what is of per

FU0TBALL.

No doubt there are serious objections
to the game of foot ball as it is now
played. Those of us, whose boys are
masters of this game here, and in
America, are not satisfied with it.
Harry Beecher,, one of Yale's great
players and the Captain of his team
says it should be modified. He says in
the World, that foot ball has been
ever-scienced, plays are attempted
which are perhaps too onerous for the
human frame to stand.
Although the mass plays, and the
struggle for the pigskin could not logi-
cally find one enemy. How is this to
be done? Very easily. Forbid inter
ference that permits of bodily contact

the remedies are simple, but it needs
unanimity of college feeling to put
these reforms into execution. These
rules were prevalent and in force not.
many years ago, and the game that
resulted was not only more pleasurable
play"
In presenting the arguments for, and
against the game, one paper parallels
two opinions, as follows:
In the game, mind, muscle, patience,
and forbearance are all brought to
the front, and the greater the player,
the greater the man. Look at any one
of the captains of the big teams, and
you will find a gentleman of the
highest attachments. Theological stu
dents are apt players and good ones

The most exciting feature of the
annual football game between Wes-
leyan University of Middletown and
Trinity College, played on Trinity's
grounds here Saturday afternoon, was
the smuggling of Townsend, Wesleyan's
left guard, in the first half. He
seemed to have lost his head entirely,
and was set down by the spectators
as a man who had been training for
the prize ring. Johnson, unable to
longer endure the punishment, was
a blow, when the referee
looked that way, and both men, to-
gether with Captain Young of Wes-
leyan, were removed from the field
by the referees orders. Townsend is
a Methodist clergyman in good stand
ing. He lost control not only of his
muscles, but of his tongue, and verbal
ly castigated all Trinity College in a
way which made people shudder.-

Prof. Shaler, in discussing racial

some change in the game.

THE PRAYING CRIMINALS.

Some of the testimony in the
late trial for murder, furnishes an
interesting psychological study.
The prisoner, Kapea, now convict
ed of the killing of DR.. Smith, tes-
titled that just before proceeding
to commit the murder, he and
Kaio and Iosepa, engaged in
prayer in KaiO's home. Kaio, now
convicted as an accessory before
the fact, offered a prayer in the
native language. The nature of
the prayer we do not know. But
Kapea testified that he repeated
the Lords prayer. He said that he
knew of no other prayer. He had
received some Sunday school edu-
cation. The interesting question
is, and it is not without value,
what were the mental processes
that lead up to such a singular
lact? There was no evidence that
Kapea was in any way morally
irresponsible" On the contrary,
he had shown his clear sense of
the crime by trying to conceal it
afterwards. What then was the
mental process by which he and
Kaio fortified themselves with
prayer, and especially the Lords
prayer, before committing a most
revolving crime? There must have
been some vague purpose in it.
We may call it a perverted
moral sense" but that does not
explain it. There was no reason
ing power displayed. That is GER
tain, and yet, the men had reason
ing power enough to know that
they had committed a crime. We
suggest the case as a most inter
esting study in psychology.
