In the meantime they are furnishing

with her mouth full OF marshmaIlow

how in the world can there be tiat?"
There isn't one really-only just an
indefinite one, located of there in the
future somewhere, in the midst OF rosy
tinted mIsts. But they are furnishing
It, Just the same and substantially, too.
AT present the articles are slowed away

quite pile of them by this time. It's
pity, though, that the card-playing

Peggy.
you see. they're furnishing their fiat
with prizes won ut cinch and euchre par
ties. They are fine players, and It Is a
rare thing, indeed, when they do not
come home with either the first or Sec
ond prize Their friends have entered
into the spirit Of the thing, and when
ever a girl invites them to some in for
an informal little evening she buys
something which will shine in the ia
nous visionary fiat. Then the other
players, too, have caught the coutagton.
and they work with a wonderfully un-
selfish spirit to help the struggling
would-be housekeepers win. Beth told
me the other day that she and Fred had
enough china plates to run hotel, and
her bonbon spoons would fit out a jew
elTy shop. AS for pictures she thinks
she will have to lay the superhuous
ones on the floor, instead OF having rugs.
Her doilles and embroidered center
pieces will last her for years, and there
is whole shelf full OF books for the
prospective library.
"Of course there are several duplicates
among all these things, but clumsy
young housekeeper will soon reduce the
surplus, Beth says that her only fear
is that with next winters earnings
added to the wedding presents which
will come someday the fiat will have to
be enlarged into a storage warehouse.
The whole thing Is lots more exciting
than the usual humdrum accumulation
OF mere bits for the trousseau. If brides
would put d little more thought into
getting together hall rugs and dresser
covers and library lamps, and less into
pale kid gloves and lace petticoats there
would be fewer young men with a hor-

to Providence for the successes OF IT'S
arms, and prayers for the welfare OF Its
soldiers and sailors and the successful
ending OF the war, more consistent with
the purpose of the war. It Is In the
highest degree a war for humanity-a
battle for civilization and progress over
semi-barbarism and degeneracy, and the
spirit which prompted the prayers OF
the millions OF Americans yesterday
who assembled In their thousands OF

scIenceness of a righteous cause and a
supreme faith in the Guiding Hand of

c,n,ior Fffin, on Hawaii.

Senator slk1nS on E1aWdu'
Elsewhere win be found an interview
by the Intelligencer's Washington cor
respondent with Senator 8. B. Ell6ins on
the annexation Of Hawaii, which covers
the various phases Of the question as
completely as is possible IN a newspaper
talk. TIE senator was prominently
connected with the advocacy Of annexa-
ton, and for this reason Is competent to
speak upon the subject from that stand
point. He shows the deslrabihty and
necessity at this time Of the action Of
Congress on a proposition which has
been the subject of discussion, not alone
In recent years. but for many years
past.
What has come to pass, as one of the
measures in connection with the present
war. is but the contamination Of what
leading statesmen Of the country and
the naval authorities OF the United
States have advocated for several gem
eratons. 1t is not a new question, as
the opponents Of the measure would
have people believe. Nothing can be
added to what Senator EllSlns says on
the subject, which we are sure will be
read with interest by the public, regard
less OF what individuals may believe in
opposition to his Views. The senator
meets every argument Of the opposition,
and presents the value of the islands,
not alone from strategic point of view.
but from the practical commercial
standpoint. His point concerning the
possession Of Hawaii in connection With
the Nicaragua canal, che construction OF
which Is a necessity In connection with
the extension Of our commercial inter-
ests and trade on the Pacific, and with
the Asiatic countries, Is now more than
ever an assured fact, Is worthy of care
full consideration.
incidentally, and as having a bearing
on the general subject, the senator
shows the precedents which sustain the
wisdom of the annexation policy, and dis
cussee briefly and conservattvely some
of the questions which VIII arise in con-
nection with the disposal OF territory
which we may take from Spain during
the war. The senator has an abiding
confidence, as ali good Americans have
in the competency Of our government TO
settle these questions wisely and safely
in the interests of peace with all the
world and the commercial advancement
OF the United States. which,he aptly and
truthfully Gays, has outgrUwn its swad-
ding clothes.
All the talk about the admission OF
Hawaii having folsted upon US an unde-
s,rable population Is dealt with briefly
and sepsibly. The argument that We
have annexed a population Of "half-
sayapes. Chinese, and nongrel elements
from various foreign nations, who arc to
be made citizens OF the country, with
an equal right to vote with the citizens
OF the states" urged to create prejudice,
is shown to be absurd. HGwall has
not been admitted as a state OF the
Union. and we are Just as competent to
deal with all questions pertaining 10 the
conditions there, which are greatly ex-
ageerated by the opposition. as we have
been with similar conditions in other
territory we have annexed since the be-
ginning of the government,
