The House Of Hapsburg.

empress Of Austria met a
violent death on the soil of
Switzerland. II happens that
the royal house 10 which marriage at
tached her had its source in that land:
the ancient Hapsburg family which,
in its time, has given sovereigns TO
Germany. Spain and Austria, takes its
name from a castle. long In ruins. in
the Swiss canton OF Aargau. Rudolph
of Hapsburg, founder Of the dynasty,
was born, so the records say, May l,
1918. II has been the habit of the
H~apsburgs to look with some con-
tempt upon the comparatively upstart
house Of Hohenzollern enthroned at
Berlin. OF course, the murder of the
empress changes nothing in respect
to the Austrian succession. Her death,
however. makes II worth while briefly
to set forth the status OF the Haps-
burgs Of the present day.

The Nockery Of IL.

q Asst Friday. in their state con-
vention. the Utah republicans
used their platform for the pur-
pose Of announcing 10 the world an
other new doctrine from M~ormondom,
which Is that. In their opinion, they
can serve God and Mammon and do
both well.
In his capacity Of chairman OF the
republican national committee, Mr..
had served formal notice on the
Utah republicans that IL they wished
to be considered regular OF In any way
orthodox they must eschew free coin
age and be for the gold standard.
Very properly. Mr.. Hanna pointed to
the republican national platform and
to the Mckinley administrations pol
icy. in order to enforce his assertion
that silver has no place in republican
plans.
1t did not worry the Utah republic
cans to make themselves ridiculous by
ignoring Mr.. Hanna. They Landed the
administration while they refused to
accept the administration definition OF
republicanism as given out by the man
who. VIGOROUSLY. runs the admins
t~ration. They praised the alleged pros
porous conditions resulting from Nc
Kinleyism; in the same breath they
declared for silver: whereas the sill
verlte's cardinal proposition is that, I'M
der the administrations policy of hos
tility 10 free coinage, there can be no
prosperous conditions.
The absurd theory Of the Utah re-
p%ublicans is hat they can be republi-
cans and yet declalm against h car
dinal doctrine In present-dav republi-
canism. II is Ttah's little handful of
politicians. who do not stand up for
wha they profess to believe, against
the arrayed republican millions in the
United States. 1t is the most notable
case we know Of where the tail insists
that II ways the dog. With friends OF
the Utah-republican sort, silver might
hope for it's restoration in eternity, but
not in time.

Think Twice About IL.

q YESTERDAY the Standard spoke
" in a general way OF the condi-
tIons thai make Honolulu or
Porto Rico an uninviting field for the
American who is disposed to drift
from his old-time moorings. That
question is getting attention in the san
Francisco newspapers-the exodus To
Honolulu IS going on under the eyes
Of the press Of that city and already
II Is said to be a migration of signif-
cant proportions.
Against this Ill-timed movement the
warning has promptly been sounded.
The same warning was vigorously
raised against the headlong rush into
Alaska. There were thousands OF rain
b~ow-chaslng men who. in that instance.
did not heed the timely admonition.
whether In the same way a reckless
rush 10 Honolulu is to occur, cannot be
foretold. The San Francisco Chronicle,
one OF the coast newspapers familiar
with the conditions in Honolulu, urges
immigrants to think twice before they
set out for the island, unless they are
men OF aInDlt HltdDSs oluiidiN Aoi
ual labor is a drug there and for
skilled labor there is limited oppor-
tunity.
Says the Chronicle: "Out OF a popu-
Iation Of about 100, 900. at least 5000
live by the work Of their hands. These
include Chinese. japanese, Portuguese
and Kanakas. many Of them being
blacksmiths, carpenters, cabinet-mak-
ers. wheelwrights, mill men, gardeners
and so on through the list OF trades.
OF the merest raw material, the hew-
| ers Of wood and drawers of water,
there are so many thousands that an
American of that class, requiring fair
wages, could find nothing to do"
While this testimony is undoubtedly
sustained by facts, II is also true that
in the professional n mercantile
fields the opportunities at the Islands
are comparatively few. The people
who support the stores of the white
merchants are fewer than in many of
the unimportant cities of California
and there are more h a enough of
such stores for the trade. Professions
are %overdone. AS for the class that
buys cheaply. its trade cannot be
wrested from the Japanese and Chi
nese who hold II.
There isn't a doubt in the world
that, for the very large majority of
those who ventured it. the stampede
to Alaska was a disastrous undertake
