TUESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1899.

The Cars peace proposals are being
considerably modified in their terms.
Late kilograms say that the Car did
not mean general disarmament. In
the present state of the world that idea
was far to Utopian. What he wanted
to stop was the continual increase of
ornaments. What the Car really de-
sired, according to these explanations,
was to prevent the great expenditure
which follows when one nation adopts
some new invention of defensive or Of
fensive munitions or weapons, and all
the other nations are obliged to follow
suit. 1t is to be presumed from the
above that the Car has some special

any action of ours would be but that
of a fifth wheel to a cart.
The only thing that one can conceive
that the Legislature should be called
together for is to vote more money for
government expenditures. But the
vote at the regular session was large
and any further expenditures might
very well wait until the territorial leg
islature is called together. Our organ
ic law will in all probability be passed
before next September, or some provi-
sion by Congress for carrying on the
government during the interim, should
that act be delayed, which however is
not likely.
With considerations such as these
before them there is not likely to be a
rush of candidates for the senatorship,
but as the position, according to the
attorney general, ought to be filed, no
doubt some one will be found patriot
ic enough to fill the vacancy whether
it may be of any use or not.

THE SENATORSHIP.

1t only wants thirteen days to the
put up their twenty-five dollars and
their endorsement by twenty duly
qualified voters of the senatorial dis
trict. Some of the organizations had
better bestir themselves and put UP
their men. 1t looks at present as if
plunge, and that those who might be
willing to become candidates were
waiting to see what others might be
DESTROYS of doing. OF course the posi-
ton of senator for a limited period is
not a very desirable one, because no
one knows whether, after going through
the trouble of an election, he will sit
or not. A very few would care for
the mere empty title.
OF course there is just bare chance
that the Legislature might be called
together but viewed in the light of the
quotations made from various deci-
sions in the United States, which were
published in The Star yesterday, there
seems no valid reason that this body
should be called together, nor that it
could do anything if called and the
whole election appears an unnecessary
expense.
If it is true that "the people of the
United States, as sovereign owners of
the national Territories, have supreme
power over them and their inhabi-
tants," which Mr.. Justice Mathews
considers is a question no longer open
to discussion, but one which has pass
ed out of the stage of controversy into
final judgment" what on earth has
the Legislature of this Territory to
ratify Whatever the United States
Congress says must be, will be, and
there is an end of the whole matter,
and our little voices will prove but
an innoucuous squeak amid the deep
tones of authority. In point of fact

derstand how helpless they are with
out the faithful Celestial. The matron

times in the morning and cook the

rest of the day preparing the lunch and
dinner. 1t is generally found that this
regime is not conducive to good tenn

The elder members of the family
make the beds and do up the bedrooms.
Chiefly this is done by the process of
pulling the clothes up, and leaving all
last nights creases in the sheets which
of course paterfamilias enjoys when he
retires to his well earned rest.
Chinese New Year is a glorious time
for the Chinese. But why should we

The National Pure Food and Drug
Congress was to have been held in
Washington during the last week in
January. The indications are that there
will be an unusually large attendance.
Over three hundred more delegates
have been appointed by governors and
boards of trade, and several senators
and representatives will attend the
congress as delegates. This is a very
important movement, and one in
which we, on the Islands, are much in
terested. The Investigations made at
the last Legislature showed that there
was considerable adulteration of both
food and drugs in our market. The
Legislature met the evil by authoriz-
ing the appointment of an inspector.
Since his appointment not much has
been heard of what he has done, but it
is presumed he is working up his data,
and that some day the community will
hear the results. The law certainly
gave him ample powers. The results VI
the Pure Food and Drug Congress will
be looked for with considerable inter-
est by those here who take an interest
in the welfare of the community, espe-
cially of the poorer classes, for 1t is
among the cheaper classes of goods
that the most adulteration takes place.

The question of silk culture, which
has over and over again occupied the
attention of people here, is quite worthy
of attention. Years ago it was practi-
cally tried, but the legend goes that
the caretakers were not allowed to feed
their worms on the Sabbath, and con-
sequently the said worms sought some
other sphere where Sunday laws might
not be in vogue. One would not wish
to throw cold water upon any minor
industry, but before going very
extensively into silk culture it would
be well for any one thinking about it,
to study it's history in California. An
other thing to be considered is the
quality of material which is now used
for imitation silk. A fiber is now ar
tifically produced which is claimed to
be quite equal to silk, and is manufac-
tured for just about half the cost. The
only way silk will prove remunerative
is to small growers upon their freehold
lots. The Portuguese might make
something of the industry, because
they are satisfied with small gains.

THE LOCK AND THE KEY.

You can operate a lock only with
the key that fits it. Very well. So
you can cure disease only with the
medicine that goes down to the cause
OF it. Now, many so-called diseases
are in truth only forms of one disease,
branches Of one tree, as we may say.
For example, if we can nourish the
body and enrich the blood, we speedily
get rid Of many of our troubles,
such as Anemia, Fevers, Rheumatism,
Scrofula and Blood Disorders, and so
on-all proofs that the body lacks
vitality and force. Nothing is SO
effective a body builder as cod liver
oil; but, alas, how many are nau-
seated at the very thought Of it. In

Tt is distinctly amusing that grave

women to be permitted to propose %
That they should consent to be inter-
viewed upon this subject, and give a
brief notoriety to a lecturer who took
this foolish theme for his subject,
shows that the leaders of the suffrage
party have lost the sense of values,
and have come to attach undue import
ance to all matters concerning their
sex. Were their memories good, or had
they been in the confidence of many
young women, they would have known

take the initiative. She does not doubt
her right to do it, She certainly does

sires to be sought; she claims the priv

"Ah, but you spoke of our parting.
That was enough for me-"
She rose as she spoke. Her complex
ion was now quite pale and ashen,
while the sallow Miss Varneys cheeks
wore the handsome flush of gypsy.
Miss Varney clutched at her lost self
control, put her handkerchief to her
face and was able to resume almost
in her own natural voice:
Il am an old fool Yes, bring the
desk, Kitty, and we'll have an end to

with her an old rosewood desk that
looked indeed as if it might have be-
longed to her mother
Slowly and deliberately, with the SOL
emn air of one accomplishing a LONG
forgotten religious rite, she inserted the
little silver key in the worn keyhole.
1t was so jagged that the key did not
go in easily, and her face flushed and
her eyes filled so that a tear betrayed
her and dropped on the polished sur
face of the lid. She raised it slowly
murmuring:

happened; but what must be must be-

Chance it, She trembled, but valiantly
held out the packet to her friend.
Thus adjured, Alice Varney broke the
string that tied the letters of Robert
Musgrave to Katherine Leven. She
glanced up at the mans photograph
as she did so. Miss Leven's eyes were
already fixed there, and she never re-
moved them. She was saying some
thing under her breath.

zone encounters some astOnlShlngly

New Orleans lawyer who was abroad
last season. while 1 was at Mar
seilles, during my visit to France, I was
seated one evening in the Cafe Richie,
In the heart of the city, when my at
tention was attracted by the loud talk
of black-bearded man at the adjoin-
ing table. He appeared to be a Hum
garian, and was telling some French
officers of an adventure at New Or
leans. OF course, pricked up my ears
and heard his whole story, which was
substantially this: He was taking din
ner at the principal hotel, he said.
when a negro waiter spilled plate OF
soup on lady's dress. Instantly the
guests decided that the culprit should
be lynched, but the landlord begged the
director of the party-think of a di-
rector OF lynching bee!-to defer the
ceremony until after the meal, as he
was very short Of help. This was.
courteously agreed to, and the prossS
pective victim assisted in serving the
repast, praying eloquently between
scouFses.E After coffee he was taken out
and strung up1to stately tree on the
boulevard in front of the hotel, the
lady whose gown had suffered giving
the word from the gallery.
This. astonishing balderdash was
told seriously, and was interrupted by
