AaDRUNKARD'S SERMON.

IrODdDly no more eloqucht vi uIa-
matte sermon on the sin Of drunkenness
was ever delivered than that to which
small gathering of drinking llen lis
tened in n New Orlea-s bar-room re-
Gently, The Picayune Of that city
tells the story. The drirkers-a group
of wel-dressed young men with plenty
Of money-wele standing at the bar,
when a poor, miserable specimen of
tramp pushed open the swinging doors
and, with bleared eyes, looked at them
appealinsly. They ordered a drink
for him, paid for it, and hrn bolster
ously demanded that he make speech.
After swallowing the liquor, the tramp
gazed at them for an instant, aud then,
with dignity and eloqucnce that
showed how far he had fallen in the
social scale, he began to speak.
"Gentlemen, he said, Il look to-
night at you and at myself, and it
seems to me 1 look upon the picture OF
my lost manhood. This bloated face
was once as young and handsome as
yours. This shamb'ing figure once
walked as proudly Us yours, a man In
the world of men. l, too, once had
home and friends and position. [ had
a wife as beautiful as an artists dream,
and 1 dropped the priceless pearl OF
her honor and respec!,,in the wine cup,
and Cleopatra-hkt, saw it dissolved,
and quaffed it down in the trimming

lovely as The flowers OF spring, L saw
them fade and die under the bligEtipg
curse of drlunkard fatLer. | had a
no me where love lit tie flame upon the
altar and ministered before 1t, and l
put out the holy fire aud darkness and

as high as the morning star, and l
broke and bruised her beautiful wings,
and at last, strangled them, that l
might be tortured with their cries no
more. To-day am husband with
out wife, father without child,
ira mp with no homF TO call his own,
man in whom every good impulse is
dead-all, all swallowed up in the
Of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered into n thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pu shed open and shut 10 again,
and when the little group about the
bar looked mp the tramp was gone.
He had gone out into TIE dark Deem
Der night, to wanderno doubt till dawn,
but he, outcast though he was, had
made an impression. They felt that
they had received Lesson which they
would remember while they lived, and
when they left the bar-room the words

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Young Peoples Weekly

Topic, August 20:"With Your Might
I-Eccles. 9: 10; John a: 27-35.
The measure of life's value is its
earnestness. When you lind person
who makes no plans and has no ambi-
| tions, who takes things as they come,
and enjoys to-day regardless Of its In
auence en- tomorrow, you may reckon
him among those who accomplish moth
ing either for themselves or for human
ity.
In certain sense each one OF us is
"sclf-made." God gives us talents, en-
dows us with abilities-provides, so to
speak, the raw material from which we
may build what we will. For talents
are the most valueless Of possessions
| unless we cultivate the earnestness
| necessary to their right use. If genius
is not an infinite capacity for taking
pains, it is worthless unless joined to
such capacity.
In practical, everyday life thiA truth
is constantly recognized. One OF the
greatest educators Las given his testi-
mony that the difference between one
student and another is not so much in
talent as in energy. Some Of you young
people who wish you were as quick to
learn as a particular one Of your school
mates, have no need to complain of your
endowments, but rather need to acquire
the habit of putting your whole power
into your study. Some Of you who
have made start in business-life, Won
der why some Of your acquaintance
have so much better duck than your
selves, and why they advance with so
much mere rapidity. But fortune is
not as blind as we like to imagine. In
nine cases out of ten the promotion of
the young man whom you envy is due
to the fact that he put his heart into
his work: in other words, he did with
his might what his hands found to do.
Some people seem to think that con-
ditions are very different when we come
to the religious life. The student who
never misses class, and who gets to
school in spite of the most inclement
weather, is not always to be found at
church on a stormy Sunday. The young
business man, so interested in his work
that he talks of it necessarily, and al
most runs the risk of making himself a
nuisance among his intimate acquaint-
ances, is not invariably the first to give
his testimony in the prayer-meeting. 1t
would seem that q great many who ac-
knowledgethe necessity of whole-souled
exertion in their everyday living, think
that the most desultory interest and
the most capricious effort are all that
is desirable in those things which con-
Germ the kingdom Of God.
But il we are to work with our might
in Christs vineyard it is necessary that
we should be enthusiastic. 1t Is not
enough to resolve to be useful, and to
formulate rules for regulating our act
ivity; we must cultivate a glowing zeal
which comes of personal love for
Jesus Christ. He who loves God with
all his heart inevitably will do the
duties which fall to him heartily as
unto the Lord"

The Cuban Situation.

MR.. EDITOR:-No fair minded per-
son can blame the Spanish for their
hatred of the Americans.
The Cuban rebellion would have
been crushed long ago had it not been
for the support of American sympa-
thizers.
The u. S. Government made a pre-
tense of preventing fiIibustering expe-
ditions and the shipment of arms and
ammunition from their shores. But
what a farce it was: AS facts will
prove.
The New York m}oneyed Cuban Syn
dictate has had it's influence and what
is the result? Our nation is on the
verge of war and is adopting a new
and dangerous foreign policy, and all
for what? Let the reader answer.
Put yourself in the place of loyal
Spanish subject. Look on his side.
You may argue that on the grounds
of humanity, the United States are
right.
Facts show that the atrocities have
been nearly as great on the side of
the insurgents as on that of the Span

The Dredging MIDDLE

A member of the House said yester-
day that committee meeting would be
held in the evening and that in a cou-
pie of days at most the Representatives
would probably be advised that the
dredging now in progress in the har-
Dor should be stopped. This matter.
so it was stated by the House mem
Der, has no direct connection with the
difference between the Oahu Railway
Company and the Government. The
arrangement which is now questioned
by a number Of the law makers is one
in which the Government has made a
trade with an estate in water front
land. Those who protest believe that a
poor bargain has been made by the

A RESTRICTED PRESIDENT.

There seems to be an opinion among
men here, especially Americans, who
ought to know better, that, in the event
of war between Spain and the United
States, President Mckinley can deal
with these Islands as he pleases simply
as a 'war measure" Whether he can
or cannot, raise the American flag here
as a war measure with the consent of
our Government and without the con-
sent of Congress, is a novel question,
and the lawyers would not easily agree
on it. War does not release the Presi-
dent from his constitutional Obliga-
tions. AS commander-in-chiefh he has
discretion and extended power in de-
stroying an enemy. But he cannot, at
any time. exceed his constitutional
powers.
When President Lincoln issued his
emancipation proclamation, he knew.
and said, that it had no legal effect I'm
freeing the slave He could, as war
measure, give physical freedom to the
slave, while his master was in rebel
lion, and so cripple him for the time
being. But he could not, under the
Constitution, take away either prop
erty in slaves, or in anything else,
without "due process of law" in the
Courts. The proclamation was issued
mainly in response to Northern senti-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-04-26

ment, which demanded that it should
be announced that slavery must go.
At no time during the war were any
large numbers of slaves set free. The
proclamation was worthless, so far as
the great majority of them was con-
| cerned.
! Mr. Lincoln and his associates knew
this well enough. They feared that if
the war ended, the Supreme Court
would declare the proclamation did not
alter the legal status of the negro, and
slavery would continue.
They urged an amendment to the
Constitution, by which slavery would
be legally and finally abolished. The
amendment was adopted only in the
last year of the war, and became a part
of the fundamental institution in De
cember 1865.
The American Constitution in many
ways severely restricts the powers of
the President, even in the event of war.
To some extent it weakens his power,
when he could use it to great advan-
tage.
The British Constitution, which is
only a collection of laws and usages,
permits the British Government to ex-
ercise powers that the American Execu-
tive is carefully restricted from using
That Government could declare war
with Russia without specifically sub
hitting the matter to the Lords and
Commons.
In the Spanish matter, President Nc
Kinley having no power whatever eth
err to intervene in Cuba or declare war,
submits the case to Congress, where
the power lies to authorize hostile ac-
ton.

Earnest Commentator.

MIR. EDITOR:-As a member of the
Kilohana Art League, I wish to eX-
press my thanks to the Musical Circle,
for the charming and instructive en-
tertainment of Thursday evening. In
so doing, I am conscious of voicing tho
sentiment of all who were fortunate
enough to be present. The patriotic
airs, no nicely arranged by Professor
Berger, the biographical sketch, the
masterly rendered sonata by Mr..
Yarndley and Miss Clymer, the songs,
violin and piano numbers quite took
me back to the old Boston days.
[ think it remarkable that in Islands
of the Pacific, so separate from must
cal and art centers, there should be
so much talent energy and culture.
Good speed to the KilOhana Art
League. May it grow and prosper,
until it is obliged to move into larger
and more comfortable quarters.

Sundstrom Not Appointed.

The Ishpeming Iron Ore Of Satur-
day last contained the following:
Mr.. Sundstrom, deputy collector of
internal revenue from this district,
is evidently laboring under delusion
in imagining he has been appointed
to the position he now holds, by
Collector Wright, of Detroit. In a
letter written to Mr.. Wright con-
cerning the matter, he makes the
following reply:
Permit me to say there is ab-
solutely no truth in the statement
that Mr.. Sundstrom has been reap
pointed deputy collector of internal
revenue in this district. Mr.. Sund-
strom was simply requested to file a
bond as deputy collector in accord
ance with the regulation prescribed
by the internal revenue department.
How this could have been miscon-
strued by him to be q reappoint-
ment, or mean an indefinite con-
tinuance in Office as deputy collector
under my administration is beyond
my comprehension.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Business Part of Escanaba Badly
ScOrched.


One of the worst confagrations
which ever visited Escanaba occurred
Sunday night. Fire broke out in

in the center of the city. 1t soon
spread to the store and residence in
front, and Mr.. Fogarty barely es-
capped with his life. The whole
block, consisting of Western Ex-

completely ruined Mrs. l., d. Nc
Kenna S double store, occupied by
Jake Miller as q saloon, and 5.

Every glass in the Masonic block
was broken with the intense heat,
St. Joseph S Catholic church, worth
500, 600, caught fire two or three times
but was Immediately put out. 1t
looked for while as if the whole
western part of the city would be
ruined. The loss is estimated at
about $3.50. 000

IMPRESSIVE SERVICE
Dedication of the New Sacred
Heart Church Took Place
Sunday Afternoon.
DISAPPOINTMENT CAUSED,
Owing to the Fact That Only
About One-Third of the PeO-
pie Expected were Present.

The weather last Sunday was per-
feet and it was confidently expected
that at least six or seven hundred
visitors would assemble to witness
the dedication of the new Sacred
Heart church, but when the steam
er Bon Voyage arrived from the
copper country it transpired that
not one-third of the crowd expected
were on board.
However, taken altogether 3 a
goodly number had assembled by
the hour set for the dedication
services, and everything passed off
in pleasing and satisfactory man
ner The Calumet band, which ar
rived on the steamer rendered
several fine selections during the
day.
Bishop Vertin arrived on
the noon train from Mar
quette and was accompanied by
Rev, Frs. Langan of Ishpeming,
and Lenhart, of Michigamme.
The dinner which was served in
the old church building by the
ladies of the congregation was well
patronized by visitors and towns
people. m
After dinner people began to as
semble at the new church to wit
ness the beautiful and impressive
ceremonies of dedication which
were to commence at 2 O'Clock. 1t
was truly scene of much splendor
and the services were conducted
with great solemnity. Rt. Rev.
Bishop Vertin headed the process
sion which marched from the parish
residence to the front steps of the
edifice, where the ceremony of
blessing the exterior of the church
was conducted. The procession
then passed into the church where
services dedicating the interior of
the church were held.
After the ceremony Bishop Yer
tin gave a few complimentary re-
marks regarding the new church
and the congregation. The church
was packed to nearly its utmost
capacity, chairs being placed along
the aisles to accommodate the people.

Substance of Peace Terms.

The following is an official state
ment given out at Washington by
President Mckinley as to the terms
of peace offered Spain by the United
States:
I'm order to remove any misap-
prehension in regard to the negotia-
tions as to peace between the United
States and Spain, it is deemed
proper to say that the terms offered
by the United States to Spain in
the note handed to the French am
bassador on Saturday last are in
substance as follows: ~
The president does not put for
ward any claim for pecuniary in
demnity, but requires the relinquish-
ment of all claim of sovereignty over
or title to the island of Cuba as well
as the immediate evacuation of Porto
Rico and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and
the like cession of an island in the
Ladrones. The United States will
occupy and hold the city, bay and
harbor of Manila, pending the con
clusion of treaty of peace, which
will determine the control, disposi-
tion and government of the Philip
pines. If these terms are accepted
by Spain in their entirety, it is
stated that commissioners will be
named by the United States to meet
commissioners on the part of Spain
for the purpose of concluding a
treaty of peace on the basis above
Indicated
