didn't salt the rock, but put gold colors
into the giant powder, and as long as
that lasted there was gold in sight

Rats are playing havoc with the
underground telephone and telegraph

All the cats habits show it to be by
nature a solitary animal. Even in
early life, when family ties bring out
the instinct of association, this is ap-
parent. If you compare the play of

some kind is essential, for if puppy
has no playmate of his OWN species he
will always try to make one OF the
nearest biped; whereas cork or bit
of string is all that is necessary to sat
isfy the requirements of the kitten. The
sure sign that in its natural state it is
not in the habit of 'associating with
greedy companions.
When given something to eat it first

it in deliberate and gingerly way,
There is none of that inclination to

hurry to stow its goods in the one place
where thieving rivals cannot interfere
with them. Indeed, no greater contrast
in natural table manners can be OBJ
served anywhere than when we turn
from the kennel or the pigsty and
watch the dainty way in which a cat
takes its meals. That cat allows peo-
pie to approach it while feeding with
out showing jealousy proves that it
does not attribute to human beings like

a Great Wrong and Shame.

An attempt is now apparently be-
coming successful to lssten upon
the Government of the United
States an act Of the deepest infamy,
which it should be the urgent effort
OF every patriotic American, who has
any regard for the honor of his
country, to avert.
AS the case now stands, those
Chinese residents who lately return
ed here, after visiting their native
land, with return permits issued
by the Hawaiian Government before
annexation, are forbidden to enter
their homes, and are excluded as
aliens, on the grown that United
States law now invalidates those Ha-
waiian permits and renders them
avoid. Our last issue reported the
wise and equitable decision of the
Chief Justice that the Newlauds Act
could not be interpreted retrospective
ly, unless so explicitly stated, and
therefore the return permits issued
previous to annexation remained
valid. Now that decision has been
reversed by the other two judges.
We have been unable, in the mass
of their prolix verbiage, to under
stand the grounds of so negotiable
a decision. 1t seems to SAVIOR of
cold blooded cruelty and inhuman-
ty, as we'll as OF utter injustice. 1t
indicates narrow technical construc-
ton, instead of breadth and equity
Of mind.
By that decision large number
of worthy and honest Cinnamon are
debarred from returning to their
homes and business in Hawaii, upon
the fimsiest pretext. In some cases
it appears that husbands and wives
are separated, and the women driven
to desperation and probable suicide.
Such treatment is Infamous in no
narrow sense or limited degree. If
carried out, it will fix a dark and
ineradicable stain OF shame upon
the American Government and its
heartless officials. The case of these
deeply wronged people is now being
carried before the Secretary of the
Treasury. We feel strong assur-
ance that he. at least. will have such
sense of honor, as we'll as of recti-
tude, as to reverse the action taken
here, and confirm the validity of the
Hawaiian permits. The Friend.

The Talk About Modern Degeneracy
Is Destitute of Foundation.
Leslie's Weekly.
After so much has been said about the
degeneracy of these days, the corruption
in politics, the decay of faith, and all the
rest, it would be interesting to have
some one point out just what days of the
past were better. What IS the exact date
of that golden age in American history
when purity, honor, unselftshness, and
the other virtues were more prevalent?
1t is difficult to find trace of such an
age in the chronicles of early writer's.
Take the matter of temperance: Who
can deny that there has been a wonder
full Improvement in this direction? The
customs of large houses of providing for
the profuse distribution of intoxicants
to servants and strangers are giving
away; so are the convlvial social Gus
toms of commercial travellers and coun-
try villagers. There is abundant evil
dence of the growth of a new public
opinion in the altered tone in which tenn
perance IS spoken of, and in the increas-
ing number of young people entering into
life as pledged abstainers. Numerous
organizations for sailors, railroad en-
ployes and other laborers and counter
active agencies-institutes clubs, cocoa
houses, and coffe taverns.afford further
hope for improvement in the future
AS for the complaint that interest in.
the Bible is declining, the eighty-third
annual report, just issued, of the Ameri-
can Bible society, the largest distribu-
ting agency for Bibles in the world,
certainly does not sustain it. The total
issues of copies of the scriptures at home
and In foreign lands by the society during
the past year amounted to 1850, 1872, of
which 7S0,949 were issued from the Bible
house and 599,949 In foreign lands Re-
ports of agents of the society IN Mexico,
Central and South America, and from
Europe, Asia and Africa, show largely
increased circulation of the Bible. Espe,
cially is this the case in China. In Japan,
too, royalty has become interested, and
the emperor has accepted a copy of the
Bible in English from the Bible societies.
and a japanese Bible from his Christian
subjects. This does not look as if the
faith founded in the scriptures was in
imminent danger of decay and death.
The facts indeed, all point to an In
crease Of faith, to large and more endur-
ing moral and religious progress, to
greater life and power for every agency
