Caroline Miskel Hoyt's death Is
a serious loss to the American
st tge. Mrs. Hoyt stood high in
her profession, but more than
this she was high type of Anne,
ricsn womanhood. With no par
ticular aspirations to create re
forms in the profession, her ex
emplary life bid fair to accom-
plish more to this end than has
been done by many who started in

Managing Editor Henderson of
the Tacoma Ledger who came
here on the City of Columbia
writes to his paper: Honolulu
is a hard proposition. 1t has the
business necessary to make the
Puget Sound and Hawaii line a
success, but it will require Napo.
leon in finance and a Richelieu in
lr,ful intrigue to secure it. In
the first place, as pioneer says,
This is not a new country. Peo-
pie make a mistake in thinking
so. Honolulu has been doing
business for rs years, and was on
the map before Puget Sound was
known People of the Sound
will evidently have reason to know
that in order to gain the trade Of
Hawaii, they must work for it. The
business is not kicking around
loose waiting to be picked up.
The condition of the popular SEN
timent sup north" may be dis
cribed as the Puget Sound awak-
eninp."

Judge Hitchcock was the
"Fighting Joe Wheeler" of Ha-
waiian life. Mr.. Hitchcock's death
removes a personality from these
islands, a character that stood out
prominently among his fellows, a
man, who, when he thought be
was right, could not be swerved
from his course by all the influence
earthly powers could muster. In
the political, moral and social life
of the country there was never
any question of whore Judge
Hitchcock stood. He was flat
footed in his expressions, terse and
to point; he believed in going
after enemies with a sharp stick.
Being always true to his friends,
he never could be untrue to those
who opposed him in public life.
With him all was open and above
board; there was no meally
mouthed hypocritical front with a
knife ready to stab an opponent
in the back when opportunity
offered. If men did not like Mr..
Hitchcock they always respected
him. Diplomacy was recognized
as a good thing but it did not exist
in the Judges make up in large
quantities and he knew it.
If any criticism should be
placed upon Judge Hitchcock's
career it is that he was too posi-
tive for his own good, The world
would be better, the hypocrites
fewer and mankind happier if
this same criticism could be pass
ed upon more men in active pub
lie life.

General Wheeler has given the
black eye to the Democrats who
seek to make political capital out
of the conduct of the war. His
testimony before the investigating
board was not lurid condemna
ton of the department he through
will have some suggestions to make
when he returns to Congress. No
man in the whole campaign has
done more hard fighting than
Wheeler, and no family has suf-
fered more sorrow from the fate of
war. What Wheeler says will
carry no little weight throughout
the nation.

AN EFFECTIVE PARABLE.


Lives pi the jameson .Hutderh.
\ most interesting account of the
manner III which tho lives of Jameson
and his men wero spared, after the sur
render to the Beers is told by tho
Nieuws Van den Dag of Amsterdam:
Tho stern old Beers, when thuy had
jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at daybreal. Tho meet.
ing took place in President kruger's
house, 20 being present, of whom tho
great majority, ,wildtwith indignation
mt tho sudden inroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British off
GERS ut once.
President Kruger opposed this sum
mary plan and used all his eloquenoo
and all his influence ON behalf Of tho
prisoners. For long time his efforts
were vain. 1t was 4 O'Clock III tho
morning, and the presidents opponents
We're still for execution. The lives of
Tho Foreigners hung.by thread.
At length, General Jouhert, one of the
fow who agroodiwith. tho president, had
recourse to tho old timo Buer method of
convincing his hearers. He made use Of
II parable,
"Friends," he said, will You not
listen to my voice once moro? suppose
that close to my, farm lives bad neigh
Dor who keeps fierce hounds i'll his
house, worrying my sheep exceedingly
and also killing SOME What. then,
would you havo mo to do? Should kill
tho hounds IL, be FREQ of this worry?
Truly my neighbor would shy unto mo:
Thou hast killed my hounds yet their
value is greater than tho value Of your
sheep Pay thou moi Is it not better
that | should take the hounds and GO
ing into my neighbours house say,
These are thine; now pay mo for tho
harm they havo done my flocls?'
There was silence. and tho general
continued: "Wo havo caughtitho pack.
Is it not better to send them,to tho
British government with demands for
reparation, lest tho British send moro
hounds to worry us anew"
Tho old form of argument proved
successful Tho wisdom of moderation
became apparent, and tho council of
war accepted tho advice of their chiefs.
