REAPING THE HARVEST.

II is an interesting and appropriate
coincidence that the twelfth anniver-
sary of the extension OF the Recipro-
city treaty for seven years and the con-
cession of Pearl Harbor rights to the
United States should fall, this year, on
the eve of the day when Hawaii joins
i'm the observance of Thanksgiving
Day.
Twelve years ago today the United
States strengthened its already power
full claim upon Hawaii, secured foot
hold on Hawaiian territory and guar
anteed the continuation of the COM
mercial benefits which must eventually
result In our governmental stability
and general prosperity. The beneficent
influence of this stability and this
prosperity is felt in every home Of the
country. Thanksgiving finds Hawaii
with full larder and the people ap-
preciative of the blessings showered
upon them by kindly Providence.
They are today reaping the bountiful
harvest which the farseeing and fore
handed statesmen of the nation prepar-
ed in former years.

BERESFORD AND MAHAN.

London, Nov. 1S.-Arnold White, the
lecturer at Elton College on naval mat
tiers, declared during the week that the
present greatness of the British navy
is directly attributable to Rear Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford and Cap
tain Mahan.
1t is now certain that Rear Admiral
Beresford will become second in COM
mand of the British Mediterranean
fleet, probably in January. He has
selected his staff. The battleship Re-
venge will be his flagship. Both Vice
Admiral Fisher, who Is in chief COM
mand of the Mediterranean fleet, and
Rear Admiral Beresford are supporters
of the plan of damming up the Suez
canal instead of holding 1t in case OF
war.
The reports of the trial Of the Hol-
land submarine boat have created great
interest here. The Globe expresses sur
prise at the results and maintains that
these only could be accomplished In
the most favorable weather and water
conditions, holding that judgment must
be withheld until trials are undertaken
at night and in rough water. The Ma
tin of Paris announces that France will
have two more submarine boats ready
before next October.

CHANGING SCHOOL HOURS.

The proposition of changing the ses-
sion hours of the public schools is agi-
! tating the minds of the mothers of the
hamlet more than the election returns,
the results of wars or what Congress
will do with Hawaii. Whether the
schools shall begin at a. m. instead Of
at nine and close at p. IN. instead of
two has been submitted to and will be
determined by the mothers.
The Board of Education is following
an equitable course in reaching de-
cision. The solution of the question
rests with the parents. II they do not
express their opinions they cannot
Justly criticise the directors of the edu-
cational department.
The more experienced teachers are
disposed to argue that they can accom-
plish more for the pupil in one morn
ing hour than they can in two during
the afternoon. The mother with six
Children to get ready for school often
replies that the teacher wants more
time in the afternoon to devote to per-
sonal pleasure.
The mother who cannot afford SER
wants and has to begin work at day
break in order to have her children
ready for an s o'clock school session.
can see no reason why the school hours
should be changed. Too often a
thoughtless educator answers that the
mother does not .disapprove of long
school hours because she has the chill
dren off her hands for longer time.
Neither the parent nor the teacher
has reason to charge purely selfish mo-
tives in the great majority of homes
or schoolrooms. In the homes of the
well-to-do, where servants are numer-
Gus and the labors of the household
consequently light, the conclusions of
the pedagogue meets with distinguish
ed consideration and approval. In the
homes where the mother does the
housework-homes where children are
usually more numerous-the mother
sees in the fulfilment OF the teachers
ideal, an additional weight on her al
ready overwhelmed shoulders. Taken
as whole, the poorer people have
more interest in their children's educa-
tional welfare as regards the public
schools, than the wealthy. II the lat
| ter do not apnrOye of public school
methods, private schools or private tu-
tors are not beyond their means.
When rendering their answer to the
Board, 1t behooves the parents, able to
view the subject from the teachers
standpoint, to remember that the ma
jority of school children come from
homes in which an eight o'clock school
session means hardship.

"A WORD TO THE OPPOSITION

The real Opposition In Hawaii is the
opposition to the speediest possible en-
actment of full territorial legislation
for these Islands. This legislation Is
the proposed bill framed by those emil
nent Commissioners selected by the
President of the United States repre-
senting the two legislative bodies of
the National Congress and the two po-
litical parties Of the American Union.
This Is the real Opposition. 1t is the
opposition and the only opposition
feared by the friends of Hawaii In gen.
eral, and by Messrs. Cullom, Morgan
and Hit in particular.
The necessity Of presenting an UNI
broken front for the enactment of the
Commissioners Bill at Washington has
been generally recognized in Hawaii
II there has been any faltering, any
paltering with this proposition. 1t has
not been the fault of the Bulletin.

is concerned. Further discussion is
now worse than useless.

DEMOCRATS AT WORK.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-The Democratic
National campaign for 1900 was prac-
tically inaugurated today when the
members of the National Democratic
Committee met in session at the Sher-
man House. This is the first meeting
held since the recent elections, and al
though routine business, including the
naming of a place and date for the
meeting of the full Democratic Com
nittee, was stated to be the object of
the meeting. It was the general feeling
that the general scope and methods to
be pursued during the forthcoming
Presidential campaign would be prac-
tically outlined before the meeting
came to close.
There is one thing certain, said
Chairman Jones, "the meeting will af-
firm the Chicago platform. At this
time everything Is favorable for the
Democrats"
1t was expected that William J. Bry-
an would be present, but according to a
telegram received yesterday, he will
not be- able to attend.

Won Her a Diadem.

How did the French come into Sicily :
A woman did it. At festive enter

trice, countess of Savoy and wife of
Charles Of Anjou. the brother of Louis

superior range of seats occupied by her
two younger sisters, the queen of France
and the queen of England. Mortified
by the humiliation. she returned to her
apartments and burst into tears
Upon learning the cause of her cha
grin and her saying that she would be
able to give up her life to contine her
tresses for one hour beneath a diadem
Charles embraced her affectionately and
said, "Set Your heart at rest countess.

On Saturday evening at twenty min.
utes before 8 there walked into the po-
lice station young man who said that
he would like shelter for the night and
gave the name OF Andrew Lannigan of
Skowhegan. He said that he was u
wooden weaver but had determined to
become soldier and enlist Uncle Sam.
He heard that Lieut.. Lamoreux was re-
cruting men in Bangor go he started for
this city. As he had no money he
hoofed 1t. He says chat he started from
Skowhegan, Saturday morning at 3
O'Clock and walked straight through to
Bangor by the main roads. AS the dis
lance is about 60 miles he made great
record. His heels were bleeding from
friction with his shoes but otherwise he
stood the long tramp well. The latter
part Of his walk WAS accomplished in his
rubbers, he being obliged to take off his
shoes.
He says he had nothing to eat during
the entire day. That young man seems
to have the stuff out of which good sol
diers are made.-Bdagor Wing.

Woman's Suffrage In Wyoming.

Hon. John W. Kingman, for four
years Judge of the U. 5. Supreme
Court Of Wyoming says:
"Woman suffrage WAS inaugurated in
1859 without much discussion, and with
out any general movement of men or
women in its favor. At that time few
women voted. AT each election SINCE
they have voted in larger numbers, and
now nearly all go to the polls. 1t ia
very common now, in considering the
availability of an aspirant for office, to
ask, How does he stand with the ladies
Frequently the men set aside certain ap-
plicants for office, because their charac-
tiers would not stand the criticism OF
women. The women manifest a great
deal of independence In their preference
for candidates, and have frequently de-
feated bad nominations. | do not be-
leVe that suffrage causes women to
neglect their domestic affairs. Ger
tainly, such has not been the case In
Wyoming. | never heard a man COM
plain that his wife WAS less interested in
domestic economy because she had the
right to vote, and took an interest in
making the community respectable.
The opposition to woman suffrage at
first was pretty bitter. Today | think
you could not get a dozen respectable
men In any locality to oppose 1t. We
have had no trouble from the presenc
OF bad women at the polls. 1t had been
said that the delicate and cultured
women won d shrink away, and the bod
indicate come to the front In public af-
fairs. This we feared; but nothing Of
the kind has happened.

Romance has played a prominent
part with regard to the longevity Of
deer What says the highland adageY
Thrice the age of dog is that of
horse.
Thrice the age of horse is that OF
man.
Thrice the age of man is that of Il
deel.
Thrice the age of deer IL that of an
eagle.
Thrice the age of an eagle is that of
an oak tree
This is to assign the deer to a period
of more than 200 years, and the esti
mate is supported by many highly cir
cumstantial stories Thus Captain Mac
donald of Tulloch, who died in 1916.
aged 88 years. is said to have known
the white hind of Loeb Treig for 50
years, his father for like period before
him and his grandfather for so years
before him So in 1926 Macdonald of
Glengarry is reported to have killed a
stag which bore mark on the left ear
identical with that made on all the
calves he could catch by Even MacIan
Og. who had been dead 1850 years
Analogous stories, it may be noted. are
told in countries ON the continent of
Europe, where deer are to be found in
any number. But the general opinion
among experts would seem to be that
80 years or thereabout is the limit of
a deer life

Literary Notes.

In the recent record breaking runs
made by the fast mail trains over the
lines of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroads, Cleveland Moffett, as special
representative and correspondent of
McClure's magazine, made the trip from
'start to finish" Full details OF the
round "trip, from Chicago to Omaha,
which is the most recent and at the same
time In many respects and for many rea-
sons the most interesting and exciting
trace against time ever made In this
country, are wildly described as they
actually presented themselves to the
writer. who rode in the cab by the side
of the engineer whose hand on the
throttle controlled the engine on this
most remarkable record breaking" run.
This article will appear In McClure's
magazine for April, will be replete with
illustrations and pen pictures.
Colonel Roosevelt reaches the climax
of his narrative Of the Rough Riders in
the description given in the April num-
Der Of the Scribner's Of the battle of San
Juan Hill. This was the elimination Of
the Santiago campaign, and Col. Roose-
welt has spared no pains to embody In IL
every fact Of importance In regard to the
action of the cavalry in that battle.
This WAS "the great day" of the Rough
Riders, and what they did Ia here put
down by their commanding officer with
historical accuracy and historical balance
and judgment 1t s an admirable piece
OF writing, not only for popular reading,
but for those who value permanent his
torical work.
Harper's magazine for April contains
three important contributions TO the
literature Of the Spanish war. Henry
Cabot Lodge in the third part of his
notable history discusses "The Blockade
of Cuba and Pursuit of Cervers." This
instalment Is especially valuable by rea-
son of Its Illustrations by Carlton Il.
Chapman, Harry Fem, r. F. Zogbaum,

to whom honor is due" Is the title of an
article by Mr.. Zogbaum which gives an
intimate personal account of the men
who distinguished themselves in the
war. 1.-THE Rescue Of Admiral Cervera,"
by an American bluejacket, deserves
attention In that 1t was written by Peter
