The Literary Digest quotes from the

that shows a Chinese vluw of western
civilization. 1t Is amusing and in
structlve, too, In view of the fact that
many believe that our achievements
are subject Of admiration and envy
among barbarous and semi onrbarous
nations. The writer says:

tries OF the foreign demons are grand

not succeed. Nor do they eat their
meat cooked in small pieces. 1t is car

rY. STAGE AND SILVER.

The press of this country has lately
been discussing quite freely the propo-
sition to utilize the educational power
of the stage for the purpose of convert
ing the masses of the people to a
belief In the benefits that would accrue
to them through the re-openlng of the
mlnts for the free coinage OF silver.
Such astute political managers as Sem
ator John X. Jones. chairman of the
National Democratic committee, Sena-
tors Stewart of Nevada, and Allen Of
Nebraska. Hon. Chauncey f. Black.
president OF the Association of Demo-
cratic clubs, besides number of other
members of Congress and prominent
friends of silver, are fully committed
to the plan; and play has been writ

Yesterday the News" made a quail
fled reference to the opinion of City
Attorney Hall in regard TO the present
status of the fire and police depart
ments of this city. That reference was
based upon the statement of morn
ing contemporary that claimed to have
ascertained the substance of the opin-
ion. but gentleman in close touch
with the Mayor today informed the
News" that the glst of the opinion
was entirely different from what it had
been represented to be, and that 1t did
not express the conclusion that the de-
partments named had been legislated
out of existence.
City Attorney Hall takes the ground
that the opinion he has handed to the
Mayor is properly under the exclusive
control OF the latter and consequently
the attorney declines 10 inform the
press Of Its contents or substance. To-
day Mayor clark positively refused to
divulGe In a representative of the
News" any information whatever
concerning the purport of the docu-
ment. The press ana consequently the
public win have to await developments
before It viii bc known what, in the
opinion OF the city attorney, Is the
present condition of the two munici-
pal departments named. Such secrecy
would seem to portend some aerious
compilcatiuns of some sort. but their

THE HAwAIIANs.

In view of the efforts made to create
an impression that the native Hawaii
ans are ignorant and unfit for the ad-
vantages and responsibilities of self
government, the official reports on the
schools OF the islands are of interest.
They prove that the system of educa-
ton in operation there il as efficient as
that of any other civilized nation and
that the average Hawaiian is ahead
of the average citizen of some Eu-
ropean countries from which the Unit
ed States receives liberal additions to
her population.
The reports for 1896 show that there
were at that time 1876 free schools em-
ploylng $50 teachers, and attended by
1915 scholars. Besides these govern
ment schools there were numerous pri-
vate institutions. The legal school age

cided TO close all of the Hawaiian
schools and replace them with English
and this was done by the express re-
quest of the natives themselves. In

A Chicago ocuiist, DR.. Chalmers Prem

people. Within the observation Of our
own age should convey an important
suggestion In the discussion of the sub
ject Of mental evolution. There is e
tendency In some quarters to regard
every step forward on the paths fol-
lowed by the human intellect. as the re-
suit Of the long struggles Of ages.
Evidences ot ancient civilizations are
found. and the conclusion Is at once
that 1t took millennumg 10 develop IT,.
The fact that outside influences may
sometimes have been at work and ac-
oompllshed in a few years what ordi-
naiily would have been the work of al
age. Is overlooked. The remarkable
leap OF the uawaiians from the condi-
ton In which Captain Cook found
them to that of the present day--from
one Of savagcry TO that OF modern
republic with schools and other public
institutions. is ineXpicablc to the view
that can account for the existence of
ancient civilizations IN America ana
Asia only by allowing tens Of thou
sands OF years for their growth. The
fact remains, nevertheless, that evou-
ton Is not always a slow process. 1t
Is believed by the closest students Of
the subject that the Hawaians origi-
naliy came from civilized race and
that the barbarous condition in which
they were discovered was natural
result OF their isolation. II would
