RACES of men,"
The New York business men are grad
ually realizing the importance of the
Pacific commerce, in the future. They
are not influenced by DR.. McArthur's
declaration that Divine Providence
has offered us the Hawaiian Islands,"
But a good outlet for the products of
their city, which is the largest manu-
featuring center of the United States,
will touch them seriously. Not until
within few years, has the question of
outlet bothered them. Now they are
to think. Naturally enough,
they will move slowly. In time, they
will all become very good annexation
lists. 1t is a good sign when such an in
fuential body of men listen to what is
said in favor of expansion. Perhaps,
the next step will be a movement by
the Chamber of Commerce of that
great city.

NEW YORK BUSINESS MEN.

At the dinner given by the business
men of New Yory City, on February
22d, the eloquent preacher, Rev. DR.. R..
S. Macarthur speaking to the toast "The
Present Emphasis of American Pa
triotism,' said that "the Importance
of a higher standard of political life
along the whole line of public service
must be emphasized" and that high
minded, well-educated, and thoroughly
patriotic young men should be encour>
aged to enter politics as a profession.
Political life ought to rank next to the
ministry of the Gospel in its mission Of
blessing. Civil service reform must
have its place in the advancing condi-
tons of political life" DR.. Macarthur
condemned jingoism, spoke for sound
currency, and advocated the extension
of American commerce. In concluding
he said:

LEGISLATIVE DUTY.

About one half of the time prescribed
by the Constitution for the length OF
the Legislature session has passed. and
yet the one supremely important vital
question which goes to the existence of
the white man on these Islands has not
been touched. The members of the
Legislature are honest, patriotic and
prudent. But they are occupying their
time in matters, which however. i'm
portant, are insignificant in COMPARE
son with the question regarding the
political control of these Islands, eth
er with or without annexation.
Does the Legislature propose TO ad,
journ without adopting or providing
some plan, if any can be devised, for
settling the question of what the back
bone and sinew of the State shall be
made of? While the policy of the
whites here is in outward appearance a
drifting one, it is in it's results most
vigorous one.
The Portuguese substantially confess
like the Anglo-Saxon that they cannot
compete with the Asiatics. Neither
Anglo-Saxon nor Portuguese can COM
plain. The Asiatics were Cordially in
Vited to attend" by the State itself.
The census of childbirths is very sig
nificant. The Asiatic females number
1914 already. 1t is only a question of
time when the 30,735 excess of Asiatic
males over Asiatic females will de-
crease by marriage, and the childbirths
will increase more rapidly than ever.
The merchants, the mechanics, the lab
orers of the American and European
races say that it is now only a ques-
tion of time when they will be crowded
out by Oriental competition. So that
while the present dominant force here
is without any pronounced policy re-
garding the future, there is a decided,
strong vigorous policy in existence,
created by our deeds in the past and
sustained by our actions in the pre-
sent. Plantation wages, the inability to
purchase land in many places, the ex-
istence of the deadening leasehold sys-
tenn, the demands for more Asiatic
labor, the absence of diversified indus
tries are facts which of themselves
create a most vigorous policy. These
brush away political platforms, and idle
talk about what ought to be done.
Some say that we are now at the
parting of the ways, and must make
the choice of the road ending in the
Orient Some of our own people and
some of our intelligent visitors. and
good annexationists too, believe, On the
other hand that we were at the parting
of the ways years ago, and that we cast
the die in 1886, when we earnestly beg
ged for Japanese immigration.
These reluctantly believe that we are
rapidly travelling along the Oriental
road of our own accord, with our backs
towards America, though we wave, and
shout for the American flag. There are
some who believe that we are yet at
the parting of the ways.

ing tenor part in the refrain; ,her
Mrs. jackson pleased The audience
greatly with an exhibition of her
versific alton. The theme of Unselfish-

rich with higher poetic seotiment and
charm of expres sion. The efforts were
. deservedly we'll received.
The afternoon session closed with a

expressed the hope that all who listen

THE EVENING SESSION.
The first meeting of the spiritual
convention was held last night at
Chopin ball and was opened by speech
from r 81 Kn7eshaw, on mod ern
Spirituslis M" who spoke in part as fol-
lows:
In some minds spiritualsm is a seri.
Gus problem, problem of life and
death, hle in others it is hated and
disregarded. The que ton is, if q
man dies shall he live again, and this
is serious question; one that needs
thought and study. When man or wo-
man recognize that death has no ter
rOrs, land that when they pass from this
world they may be a king in the spirit
world, it is the work of MODERN spirit
ualism to remove tboseRrea horrors
AMI teach that there is no death.
Nov we may place ourselves in such
q position as to think all things are
wrong and see but the faulty side of
life, and when we do this we have
given up our birthright, for we cannot
give justice to any good or bad
thought.
Your attendance here tonight shows
that your min is not quite mad up on
true spiritualism, and let me explain
to you that all faiths are good, aud a
poor religion is bst er than no reli-
gion. We all agree that any class of
religion is a factor of human improve
mert.
We do not master our thoughts, they
mast US aud thsy force us in'o the
arena t. fight for Them. What is mo
dero spiritualism? 1t is the life after
desth, and that we live in form and
are permitted to return. Now, this
demonstrates that there is everlasting
life, for If there never was spirit COM
munion, then that destroys the founda-
ton of tho bible, which tie ches US tn t
they who have died can return Mo-
dern spiritualism needs no apology, for
1t is great belief, and teaches that
the dead live and love. can and may
return, for life is immortal and angels
do return.
Prof. I.ouis Schlesirger then gave
several tests to parties in the audience.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or.
gans. If the liver is inactive, you have
bilious look; if your stomach is dis
ordered, you have a dyspeptic look; il
your kindeys are affected, you have a
pine he'd look. Secure good health, and
you will surely have good looks. "Elec-

cures pimples, b'otches and boils, and
gives good complexion. Every bottle

the closest possible personal relations with the
heads OF the Church.
II was through the Pope even more than
through her royal relations that the Queen Of
Spain labored 10 avert war without yielding to
tho lust demands of the United States. None
can have forgotten the earnest efforts made t
Washington by Catholic clergymen of high
authority. nor the inccss3nt cndeavOrs of the
Pope to bring about influential action by other
European Powers. Men who cannot conceive
of action that has no selfish motive that
all the colonies Of Spain were intensely Cath

the Catholic institutions and clergy received

inevitably affect the material resources Of the
Church and all its institutions and orgnnlzn-

Yet when the war broke ont the Catholic

that the Catholics Of this country were as zeal
