The sugar schedule of the census, the
sixth of the series at present, though
some further schedules may be added
by the department of manufactures,
goes very fully into the details of land
area, machinery, irrigation and ex-
pense. 1t may not be known that there
is a heavy fine for divulging any infor-
nation that may be gathered. In col
lecting information of this character
the schedules are not put in the hands
of the ordinary enumerators but will
be looked after by the Special Agent-in-
Chief, who will correspond with the
Agents and Managers.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-11-18

The land question which very natur-
ally aroused a great deal of anxiety
here for some time, in consequence of
President McKinleys order, is likely
to be adjusted quite to the satisfaction
of all concerned. There is no doubt
that mis-statements have been for
warded to Washington, but when eX-
plantations have been made through
General Hartwell very different view
is being taken The presence of people
in Washington who are ready and cap
able of giving information about the
Islands is invaluable. AS was pointed
out in these columns a few days ago,
not only should accredited agents be
there, but it will be to the advantage
of the prominent and wealthy men here
TO spend some time at the Capitol.
Senator Clark of Wyoming was a
strong advocate for such a plan, say
ing it had done wonders for Wyoming
under similar circumstances.

ONE day we are apprised of the gift
by the Italian king and government of
a goodly sum of money for the relief Of
the flood sufferers in eastern Texas.
The next we get the news of the lynch
ing of six Italians in Louisiana for as
saulting q doctor. 1t is not shown that
they committed murder, but somebody
had to die to glut the savagery of Ger
tain American citizens and six subjects
of foreign power happened to come in
their way. 1t Is poor requital, in
truth, for the preceding act of gener-
osity. And now we shall have another
international complication on our
hands, with the inability of the italian
government to understand why the
United States government is not in law
and fact responsible for the murder of
Italian subjects in sovereign state, and
the necessity for the people of the
whole United States to pay several
hundred thousand dollars out of their
pockets for the sins of the people of
Louisiana, In order to quiet the clamor
Of Italy, a. friendly power, and close the
incident. The dispatch says "the town

Bob INGERSOLL ia dead. 1t is more
than probable that from Thousands OF
pulpits tomorrow throughout the coup-
try sermons will be preached that In
some way refer to this man who has
been the bugaboo of the churches for
a generation. His life and death are,
the ministers will say, theme too
fruitful to let pass by. 1t Is hard to
see why certain good Christian people
have been so afraid of the attacks OF
this man. They have, by their fierce
hatred of him, demonstrated their own
weakness in the faith, for certain it Is
that the newspaper notoriety and the
pulpit notoriety Ingersoll got was re-
sponsible. for most of the fear he inspired
in some quarters. Ingersol was
of tie earth, earthly. He was ab-
solutely devoid of the spiritual insight,
and he gloried in his deformity. He
destroyed because he loved to destroy,
but he built no structure of faith or be-
lief to replace what he threw down.
His was religion of encouragement,
and all his fine words and beautiful
SMILES could not disguise the fact that
he would starve hope, which Is the
sustaining hand under every normal
human heart. Iugersoll, like so many
of those who have shuddered at the
mention of his name, COMPOUNDED re-
ligion with theology. and faith with
dogma. He could not see the truth,
hence he tried to prove that there was
no truth. Ingersoll was a man to be
pitied rather than to be feared OR hat
ed. He thought he was right-if we
are charitable; he knew he could make
money-if we are not. There is no
telling what this man might
have been if it had
not been for the early teachings of his
father, which were so false and harsh
and unreligious, Notwithstanding that
he was Calvinistic minister, that the
boys young mind was hopelessly warp
ed and blighted. President Schurman
SAYS: "It is the bane of the religion
of dogma that it has driven many OF
the choicest religious souls out of the
churches" Here is something to
think about, at least. Ingersoll did not
understand what he was attacking. He
was blind to his own better self. To
quote President Schurman again:
''Faith in God we cannot prove though
it approves itself to u.s." Apparently
it did not approve itself to Ingersoll,
and thereby he was the loser. May he
rest in peace.

What over the intimation Of certain 'i
its imperialistic contemporaries that diff
fculty in obtaining in this section re-
CT uits for service in the Philippines is
due to lack of patriotism in the South.
The Danville Register. however, con-
tends that failure of enlistment to thrive

than a lack of IT, Southern people, says
the Register, are not in sympathy with
the war for which they are asked 70
enlist. for they stand for the principles
enunciated in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and for tn If application abroad
as well as in this country. Our people,
adds our Danville contemporary, are OPP
posed to the policy OF territorial exten-
sion by conquest and the war that is
being waged on people who only desire
to be free.
The Register gives the true explanation
of the "discouraging experience of re-

explanation places beyond question tho
correctness of its contention as to tho
issue of patriotism.

evidence shows that every letter written
