The world in sorrow receives the
tidings of the death of the famous
preacher, Dwight l.. Moody In the
last hour of reckoning it should
be consolation in itself to any
one to think that he had passed
through the vicissitudes of earthly ex-
istence without wronging any of his
fellowmen. To realize, as Moody did,
when the final summons came, that
he had consecrated himself as far
as it was in his power, to the highest
good of mankind. that the world had
been made better through his influ-
ence and example, is a thought sub
lime. The evangelist was one of
those men of God whose earnest and
consistent endeavor in the cause of
righteousness challenged the admira-
ton of all who listened to his appeals.
With the same zeal that he preached
the gospel of religion and virtue.
he taught and exemplitied the doc
trine of brotherly love. His life was
a blessing to humanity.

Something Serious Nearer Home.

While the government under Nc
Kinley / is concerned to the utmost
extent in the endeavor to force sub
mission on the part of unwilling sub
Jects in the far away Philippines. it
might be well to give thought to the
condition of affairs in the islands, like
wise of recent requirement. nearer

Honolulu, notes with regret that the
Portuguese and Japanese are taking up
the best lands in the Hawaiian, islands,
to the exclusion of the Americans, who,
it was expected. would 60 to the
islands in large numbers after annex
alton became a fact. The Gazette
cites a typical instance, and COM
ments as follows: "On the southern
slopes of Haleakala there is now to be
seen, not an experiment, but dem
onstration of the course of racial
events on these islands. vast track
of land lies on this slope. rising with
gentle grades from the plains of the
isthmus occupied Ivy the Hawaiian
Commercial company. up to and
above the frost line. The soil is rich.
Fruits and vegetables grow with lux
uriance. Corn makes excellent crops.
With a good road, the owner OF only
10 acres OF such land may sleep every
night within the cold belt, and de-
scend every morning to the warmer
belt below. This region is ideal for
the most satisfactory growth of the
Ang lo-SaXon civilization in the trop-
les because, if he wills it, the settler

tween the trOpic and the temperate
zones.
What is the situation? What is the
outlook there? The Portuguese have
settled on this tract and are doing
well. Many. it is said 500, japanese
have taken land in Kula and Maka-
wac. and are making excellent profits
out of their agricultural work. Out
of some hundreds of settlers are there

there is much waving of the flag over
the islands with the patriotic shout
that the islands must be Amer lean
lied, day by day, step by step. the
men of other nationalities are becom-
ing the bone and the sinew of the peo-
pie. One looking upon these pros
porous people preoccupying the land,
must regard the case of American
settlement in this region as almost
hopeless. 1t is simply idle
to say that the American farmer can
or will supplant the Portuguese or
the Orientals.'

ANOTHER change in the American

ANOTHER change in the American
cabinet is possible. Secretary VIII
sons health has been so impaired by
performance of his arduous duties
that he is kept from resigning solely
by the urgency OF the president. and
has consented to remain only on the
condition that his health improves.
There have been six changes in the
cabinet since President McKinlev's
inauguration: Secretary Sherman
gave way to Judge Day. Attorney
General McKenna to Gov. Griggs.
Postmaster-General Gary to Mr.. Hitch
cock. Secretsry Alger to E!hu B. Root,
and Secretary Day to Col. Hay. And

templating the same step Secretary

1t is scarcely possible that Mr.. Nc
Kinley does not realize that Mark
Hanna is an offense to all persons who
hate bully of high or low degree and
who resent public and boastful ex-
hibition OF political immortality. But
even if the president shared this sem
timent himself, he would not be in a
position to call down a man who was
responsible for his nomination for the
presidency, and who is pulling all the
strings he can lay his hands on to
make Mckinley his own successor.

and who is accused Of having distribut-

The process pending in the supreme
