through the ordeal satisfactorily, and
that the Columbia, had she been there.

very apt in a moment of passion or

The awakening of China which is so
much to the fore just now, may cut
both ways. The great aim that the COM
mercial nations have is to get at the
markets of China because with it's en-
ormOus population, immense quantities
of cheap goods can be consumed. China
has great natural resources and the
commercial nations are anxious to de-
Velop these. But how will it be when
the Chinese have been finally showed
into the line of progress and begin de-
velpoing their own resources. The sup
ply of coal and iron in China is said to
be ineXhaustable for centuries to come.
The labor supply is alse enormous and
cheap. What will take place if the Chi
nese themselves take to manufacturing
upon a large scale with the improved
methods of Western civilization. Why,
the competition from such a source
would, for a time, drive the United
States and Europe completely out of
the field. Everybody is waiting for the
awakeing of the giant, but when he rs
aroused and. fairly awake, look out.

layman will be able to read them There
has been so great an advance in the
knowledge of methods in dealing with
tuberculosis that some decisive theories

The question of the election is settled.
There will be no election. All the heart
burning on one side and the other, and
all the vigorous eloquence put for
ward is stopped in the full tide of
food by few words from the Presi-
dents pen. Whether this knowledge
could have been acquired earlier or not,
is a question upon which light may be
thrown at sometime, it will not be
thrown now. But it is quite evident that
until word came from the President
the Executive was right to go ahead
and comply with the law. Mckinley

AS it stands, Hawaii is to run along I'M

shall be done. When ever it is abso-
lutely needfuT the President will exer-
else his, authority as in this instance,
but for all ordinary matters we must
get along as we can with the machinery
we have. Upon this situation there is
no use arguing, so instead of wasting
breath and ink over it, we had better
devote ourselves to such matters as we
have under our own control.
