the right of way. The Administration
at Washington is eager as ever 70 ef-
feet annexation.
Important and significant dispatches
have been sent by the Cabinet here to
Washington. 4 Government member
approached on the subject spoke with
much caution and extreme reserve. He
said in substance. but rather without
committing himself to the expression.
that Hawaii had sent word that the
United States would receive at this
port all the favors consistent with the
relations of the two countries. past and
present" 1t was limited that this def
milton of attitude might be accepted
quite literally.

farmers has been almost ineoneeiv-
able. there are symptoms OF a new
birth. and the coming century will see
the cultivation of the soil taking its
place as one of the highest and most
scientific pursuits of man.
AS we have often said. the rapid de-
velopment of horticultural and agrieul-
tural education here, must be placed
on the political necessities of the case.
especially If we are not annexed at
once, for our political safety lies great
ly in having a eontented community.

Representative Loebenstein publicly
complains that his committee has
wearied its limbs walking backwards
and forwards to and from the Office of
the Superintendent of Public Works,
seeking for information.
The legs of the committee are like
those of the emaciated and dying man,
whose pastor in consoling him, ex-
horted him to wrestle hard with the
Great Destroyer. WHAT" said the
dying man, uncoyering his limbs.
"wrestle with the Great Destroyer with
them legs? No, parson, he'd flip me in
two seconds"
The money of the Republic goes for
strong legs, and the committee ought
to have them, even if they resort to
wooden ones.

The estimated expenses of the war
with Spain, for the War Department

600 for the coming year To this must
be added the cost of running the navy.
For the sake of humanity, and in
order to relieve the misery of the Gu

each day over 100000 or about as
much as the great Foreign Missionary
Society expends in year. in all parts
Of the world. The United States. SO
years after the Civil war, spends in
pensions to its soldiers about 100000
per day, or nearly as much in one day
as the great Missionary Society spends
in one year in the spread of the Cos
pei. A hundred thousand persons suf-
fering physically touch the heart more
than 100000 that are suffering
morally.

1t is fair to insist that the Board of
Education has a serious duty before it.

FROM STATE TREASURY.
Figures Showing Annual Settlement With
Different Cities and Towns.

The state treasurer is in the midst of his
annual settlements with the different cities
and towns of the commonwealth. In ad-
dition to the direct tax laid unon the diff
ferent municipalities the great item is the
collection and distribution of the national
bank tax.
From the different treasurers that have
banks in their communities the state
treasurer calls for the proportionate tax
on out-of-town bank stock In return the
state official pays back to each town or
city treasurer the tax on out-of-town
bank stock due each municipality
These figures have been made up for
what are called first payments. and the
checks are being sent out from the state
house. In such q complicated matter
there are, of course some claims unset
tied. and a few remittances may be made
either way, later. The following figures
relative to this section are. however. in
the main correct.

for from the different cities and towns

IN THE MARKETS
Christmas Shopping the

Markets are getting a move on them,
trying to get ahead of Christmas, and
the shoppers are already beginning to

But prices aren't going up and no mat
ter how hard the market tries it can
never get ahead of Christmas.

How they lived and loved. and wandered
on the rivers shady shore,
Happiest of Indian lovers, in the days that

All day long the maiden labored. weaving
baskets by the stream.
Thinking of her love, her Kahla, weaving
him into her dream:
Then he comes-she hears the rowing of
his light birch-bark canoe.
"kahlat calls She; cries he, Coming,
coming to my own Mahzoo"
All! one night she waits in silence; sad her
face-her love is dead
Wounded in the chest, her warrior in a
fortnight to be wed.
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo living
silent in the stream,
Gone unto her lover Kahla, neVermore ia

Echoes of the warrior Kahla and of young

The fight, to find and identify the soldier
out without success.

And thro' the brush we broke
With hearts aflame to reach the fee
And give him stroke for strokei
Too long. too long the hour we lay
(Our fire without avaiD
Within the tangled tropic brush,
Beneath the Spanish hail;
But now we sprang with fercer joy,
AS leaps a famished horde.
And on we surged, in broken rank,
Across the fateful ford!
AS down the crooked trail we pushed,
With hot and hurried breath
Beside the path a comrade lay
Sore-stricken unto death.
A regular" with gray-streaked hair.
To us he seemed to be,
Who'd dragged himself aside to die
Beneath the mango tree.
The burning sun beat down on him,
His marched lips wide apart.
And thro' his wound we almost knew
The beating of his heart;
An instant more-from out the ranks
We saw our sergeant lean
He raised the dropping head and turne,
To reach his old canteen
The dying soldiers lips pressed close
His eyes shone wondrous fair
NO! not a drop-iust take it on
To the fighting men up there!'
One fierce, mad rush-the hill was ours
Yet Glory stream'd that day
With equal splendor down below
