became angry, and proposed to lynch
Alger, they stood aside, and said with
pity: There goes poor Alger, he is
the creature of circumstances Be-
sides, Alger was an inferior man. and
did not have brains enough to meet
the many embarrassing conditions. In
his management of the War Depart

directly opposite to that usually taken
thirty-fve years ago by Secretary Stan

length, after the people had discover
ed that war was a serious business.
His retirement Dc not triumph of the
people. but a step in the self-educa-

that shows this SO clearly, as the ap-

selection of good officers for the new
regiments. and his positive refusal to
accept volunteer regiments.

An ALARMING WE'VE


The New York Observer Is the
oldest organ OF the Presbyterian
church In the Eastern States. 1t has
this to say about the observance OF
Sunday:
lis Sunday to be In no sense fore
taste of the heavenly world to which
we profess to be Fastening? Is 1t
merely a day for heavy dinners and
more or less aesthetic enjoyment, in a
half operate entertainment in the
churches? Is Sunday to be a mere
show day for ones best clothes, or for
ones turnout in the parks and on the
boulevards? Are we to avoid all the
most serious books and all the mos
serious thoughts? Is everything that
tells of our weakness and of the short
cism? Is it a.gloomy thought that we
are seeking another country, even an
heavenly? Are the harps that We
shall then tune a myth? Has the end
Of the nineteenth century revealed 1t
as fact that Scripture is so much
poetry, soothing opiate when 1t tells
of the joys of Heaven? Is it a mere
gloomy delusion when 1t tells of the
doom of the wicked? Is the church
prepared to sound a final truce with
those who have steadfastly tried to
bend 1t to their easy-going purposes?
Even IL we are arguing on mere polite
and sociological grounds, the whole
voice of ancient and modern history
would sound with one note to the ef-
feet that self-restraint, the fight
against temptation, Is the sole safe
guard Of any individual or set of in
dividuals Rest and abandon are diff
ferent things. You will hear nine men
pleading ior license where you will
hear one pleading for more rest. We
have downed Puritanism In this coun-
try, but at a fearful cost. Many a
premature grave is being dug on Mon
day for the man who would take no
Puritanism on Sunday.
II the Observer canncs exhibit any
better outcome of the work of the
Church during the last thousand OF
years, 1t makes the case discourag-
ing one. At least, 1t suggests the
query whether the Church has really
discovered and preached the natural

In March. 1881, King Kalakaua was,
with his suite, the guest of the En-
peror of Japan. The King voluntarily
offered to revise the Hawaiian treaty
with Japan, so as to exclude the .un-
usual right of Consular jurisdiction.
The Emperor and his Cabinet regarded
such a revision as an entering wedge
In their efforts To secure similar re-
vision in all treaties. The offer was
accepted, and a draft of revised
treaty made. But as soon as the Eu-
ropean governments heard of 1t, they
insisted on the suspension of the pro-
ceedings, and an indefinite postpone
ment resulted Before this had occurr'
ed, the Imperial government in return
for this voluntary offer of King Kala'
kaua, gave TO him entertainments ana

GOOD OPINION ABOUT CUBA.

In another column appears letter
written TO the n. Y. Herald by Mr..
Osgood Welcn, who is sugar planter
In Cuba. Mr.. WEIGH was, some years
ago, engaged in the business OF REIN
ing sugar in Philadelphia, and subse-
quently was engaged in the importa-
ton of sugar from Cuba. He finally
became sugar planter, and is
thoroughly familiar with the business.
He is a man Of unusual ability. and his
Judgment on the situation in Cuba
should be carefully considered.
The standing menace in the near fu-
ture to the Hawaiian sugar industry
is the sugar industry of Cuba. Tho
planters OF Louisiana also regard 1t as
a menace to their own sugar industry.
The sugar beet people also so regard 1t.
The United States undertook TO
maintain order in Cuba until its peo-
ole should establish and maintain de-
cent self-government. 1t was believed
q one time, that they could and would
do 80.
The experience of the last few
months is, that there can be no poll
teal order in Cuba until there Is in
fustrial prosperity, and there cannot
he industrial prosperity II Cuban sugars
are subject to the Federal tariff laws.
The Federal government is confronted
with the proposition OF annexing the
Island. SO as TO make its sugar free
Or with the other proposition of deal
ing with a million and a half of people
who in their poverty, will be restless,
rush into instruction, and cast upon
the government a large expense in
maintaining order. So MIR. Osgood
says: "If annexation does not come
pretty quickly this government Is go
ing to have more trouble in Cuba than
It has ever dreamed of"
The Americans in Cuba, larger in
number than the American born re-
siding in these Islands, take the same
ground that Americans have taken
here, that it Is the manifest destiny of
Cuba TO become part of the United
States, and the Expansi9nists agree
with them. The sugar interests ana

San DIEGO LINE
Colonel Walker Discusses
Its Future.
Pala.iai Steamers 10 be Put On W thin q Yes,-
In Conneetioa with Santa
Fe Line.

Yes. the present line of frelgh,
boats now running between the Orient
and San Diego will be superseded in
the near future by first-class ocean
liners which will bod for both passen-
ger and freight traffic." said Colone,
Aldace F. Walker last night at the
Hawaiian Hotel.
Colonel Walker is the chairman of
the board of directors of the Santa Fe
Railway, which controls the line of
freighters which have been plying be-
tween San Diego and Japan for short
time past. ' ga" '
THE freight line was put in as a
feeler." he continued, but now We are
satisfied that we should be justified in
installing a regular first-class service.
and another year may see it in active
operation. The steamers put in will
be as good as anything now running
or which Is to run in the Pacific, and
If we cannot buy them already built
they will be built to order. The pas
senger traffic Of this ocean is bound to
increase and the Santa Fe, with its di-
rect through line, should be able to get
its share Of the travel, especially ths
transcontinental part Of it.
Under its reorganization, made In
1896, the Santa Fe system has gone
steadily ahead, and is now paying
stock dividends. The stock is very
widely held, there being over 12,OOo
holders in the United States and
great number in England. Before
many days the toot of the Santa Fe
locomotive will be heard in San Fran
cisco and the Southern Pacific monop-
oily, which has existed for years, will
be broken. '". o.
Honolulu is delightful garden
spot. This is my first visit, bat it
shall not be the last. In addition to
their charm and beauty the Islands
have magnificent future before them
Commerce will make them great, even
more than the sugar industry. OF
course in these days OF marvellous pro-
fits in sugar 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected that there would be any other
god Of industry in these Islands But
some day more attention will be given
to fruits and to small farms SO that so
many things will not have to be i'm
ported. Why. in alligator pears alone,
there is a big opportunity. In New
York this fruit is great luxury on
account Of Its rarity, and there is NO
reason why the Islands should not ex--
port them by the ton.
in New York Hawaii is compare
lively unknown. But knowledge re-
garding it is slowly spreading. There,
should not an exposition of any i'm
portance in the United States pass by
without these Islands being represent
ed. Advertise yourselves. Let the
world know who and what you are and
the glOries of the Islands.
Il want to say a word about the
Oahu railroad. l don't think people
here fully appreciate it. It's service.
management and future is of high
order and it's promoter deserves much
credit for his enterprise"
Colonel Walker leaves today by the
Australia. His presence in New York
is almost continual necessity owing
: to his connection with the Santa Fe,
which has grown to be one of the
: greatest railroads of the United States.
His stay here was limited to one week

EMANCIPArED JAPAN.

Nearly all Of the new treaties made
between Japan and the European ma
lions went into effect on July 10Th,
but the consular jurisdiction did not
end until August 4th.
Japan is now by the voluntary act
of civilized nations, placed on the COM
mon footing OF all nations. The ar
bitrary, despotic and in many respects,
the unjustifiable power assumed over
Japan by the foreign nations for near
ly forty years, gave way to an ack-
nowledgment of international rights.
During these years even the most con-
sentative Americans have made no pro-
test against the despotic act Of the
Federal government. an act entirely
contrary to the spirit of American
political thought. The nation has been
doing for these many years in Japan
just what 1t is now doing in Luzon,-
debating to an alien people what they
should do. "". g..
There is much misgiving as to the
conduct OF the Japanese, under the new
condition Of affairs. The old European
residents predict that they will con-
stantly do'atts OF injustice to foreign
ers. and there will be no practical
remedy fof any wrong done. .. lr'
| We cannot. expect the Japanese to
change at once their racial methods OF
dealing with offenders. We refuse
ourselves to abolish absurdities in the
administration of our own laws tow
ards ourselves and other nations, and
yet we demand that the japanese
should be measured by the highest
standards of the world. Besides, there
is a strong feeling among those who
are subjects of powerful nations that
they may impose on the Japanese in
many ways. especially in minor mat
tiers. 1t has been the habit of the
great Powers TOT treat the Asiatics

Humane Society Might Inquire
About Such Parents as These.
Huddled in a downtown doorway at
o'clock yesterday morning, officer Ham
mergreen found two little waits Nicholas
Daliment and Frank Moshot, wet to the
skin by the pouring rain and crying with
fright. One of the youngsters Is nine
years old. the other but six. Asked why
they were not at home the older of the
boys said because they had not made
sufficient money selling papers. They
must have 20 cents when they returned
home, the boy said, or they would re-
ceive whipping. 1t had rained during
the early part of the evening, and the
sale for papers had been slow, so the lad
said he and his companion preferred to
stay out in the weather rather than go
home without enough money.
Officer Hammergreen took the young
sters to the central station where Matron
Cummings tucked them snugly away in a
warm bed, and they soon forgot their
troubles in slumber. Yesterday morning
they were sent to their parents, who live
on the upper flats, near the high bridge.
