Music In The Air.

Professor Bob Scott feels con-
fdent that he will complete his
arrangements with the Tiyoli Opera
Company and that the celebrated
troupe will arrive here in August
and perform during three weeks. We
wish Mr.. Scott all possible success
in his enterprise which will be cor
daily supported by the music loving
people of Honolulu, The young
people who never heard Faust or
The Bohemian Girl but know the
beautiful music OF these masterpieces
will be delighted to hear the operas
of which they have heard SO often
and the old folks-well we will walk
a couple of miles to hear good
company sing Pinafore and the

We mention only these few cases
which could be multiplied daily to
open the eyes Of the public to the
necessity of having laws which
authorize corporal punishment. The

Nearly all the civilized countries
in Europe have re. established the
whipping post for brutal offenses
and the results have been highly
satisfactory. In South Carolina the
fogging is general form OF pun
ishment and is done publicly. In
England the "cat" does it's work
within the prison walls. The form
of punishment is often needed here
and the use Of the birch or the scat"
should be within the jurisdiction of
the police magistrates.

This morning Hawaiian young
man was brought before the magis-
trate for brutally ill-treating wo-
man with whom he is living. He
had been found guilty of the same
offense before and a fine of $50 was
then imposed on him. He is in the
employ of an influential concern and
nolle prosequi was entered when
the case was brought before the Cir
cult Court. His brutal attack on
the woman at that time caused the
death of an infant child and she
herself barely escaped with her life.
This same human beast yesterday
committed similar assault on the
woman, who is highly enciente. He
tore her clothing from her back,
kicked her and bruised her, and then
he poured turpentine into the raw
sores on her body. One kick nearly
smashed an eye and she presented a
sorry spectacle when she this morn
ing appealed to the authorities for
protection.

The proprietor of the "Owl

his travelling restaurant off the

the autocratic Marshal, who proba-

parlors or up town restaurant which
feels injured by the sale from the
"Owl of some good hot coffee,
some sandwiches and tamales. The
Marsha's action is high handed and
ridiculous. The "Owl" does not
block the streets or interfere with
traffic. The wagon appears at night
only and the refreshments served
have been veritable boon to police
officers, postal officials, pilots and
others whose duties call them to the
city at all hours of the night. The

not holding the end of the string.

does not reach us at Clones till $50
O'Clock p. NJ. Saturdays; notwithstand-
ing the fact that it arrives at Goodland
on Fridays at P. NJ. This surely is
an injustice to the patrons of the
Clones office, and of course, should be
at once rectified. In the change OF
the schedule time, it appears that the
Inconvenience thus wrought, was
purely an oversight; and hence we do
not hold anyone responsible for the
inconvenience to which we have been
subjected.
Since my last communication, Rev.

The wood-pile is before us-now for
the niger! Will not these employees,
with the old-age pension at hazard, be
the creatures, soul as we'll as body, of
the master who thus lifts from their
shoulders the burden the Almighty has
placed there? In 1896, many a man,
through the threat of dosing his job
if he exercised his right as freeman,
was forced to sink his manhood and
voice the will of his employer. How
much more tender of giving offence to
those over him will he be when, in ad-
ditlon to losing his job will be the
likelihood of his forfeiting his old-age
provision which he has entrusted to 9TH
er hands than his own. Can a man be
a man and surrender the cares attach
ing to manhood? The negro slave was
provided for in his old age, yet who
would consign himself to slavery? The

ADMIRAL DEWEY Is reported 10 nave
said in a recent interview:
.sWe need large and thoroughly
equipped navy that can cope with any
other Power on earth. England is our
natural ally at this time, and differ
ences such as those about the Venezu-
elan border and the fisheries question
should not interfere with the friendly
understanding between the two ma
tons"
This is remarkable, and so unlike
the hitherto discreet utterances of the
Admiral that no right-thinking Ameri-
can desires to hear the interview con-
firmed. We shall indeed have no diff
ferences to settle in the Venezuelan
question, for, with the abrogation of
the Monroe Doctrine. it will be inso-
lent in us to meddle in that matter.
Any old-wOrld king can now come over
and gobble up little American repub-
lie, without let or hindrance from I'm
Gle Sam. He is in the world-gobbling
business, and cannot deny to others
the right he in that line claims for
himself. OF course now that he has
grown into 'sworld politics. he needs
partners. (Washlngton's warning con-
corning ''entangling alliances" is bar
red by the Statute of Progression.) He
needs help, then, in his new-found ca
reer of benevolent assimilation and
Christian spoliatiOn. But his choice
of partner, as foreshadowed by the Ad-
mirai, is remarkable. So far from be-
ing ''our natural ally" England has
always been our inveterate enemy.
She is the only European power that
has been humbled by the arms of the
United States; she has twice compelled
us to assert our natural rights through
the expenditure of blood and treasure;
she has given us more annoyance and
trouble in the hundred and twenty-five
years of our national existence than all
the rest of the world combined; and
to-day an injury at her hands would
more hotly fire the American heart
than it would coming from any other
source. The REGISTER wishes all the
world to be at peace, and all humanity
in ties of closest friendship-but there
is no use trying to lie down the truth.
Even Admiral Dewey can't change
what is into what the Administration
would like it to be in justification of
an underhand alliance with ''our auld
enemy"

In an article on the iniquities of the
Philippine war, the Mississippi Fattey
Democrat truly and forcibly says: ''We
are not fighting for freedom, as we
have done in all our previous wars. but
we are fighting to enslave people who
have gained their own freedom, and to
steal their possessions. That is the
whole sum and substance of this bru-
talizing, devilish Philippine war, and
its effects cannot be otherwise than de-
grading to our own people. No man
or woman whose heart is in the right
place, or who has any love or respect
for humanity, can for one instant toll
crate this miserable and outrageously
wicked war"

IT is nothing new, but by reason of

lowing from the Van Buren Local. 1t
would, perhaps, be more forcible to
the public generally if the merchants
name were given; but here in Ironton
that verifcation of the story is not
necessary. Pierre Crozat, now gath
cred to his fathers, a few years ago
had a similar experience yet fresh in
the Local: "a retired merchant, who
at one time had been in business in
England as well as the United States,
and who desires that we withhold his

THE POSt-DiSpdtch characterizes as
ga Praiseworthy Scheme" the alleged
purpose of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to pension its employees in
their old age. The project certainly
has philanthropic tint unusual if not
startling to the minds of men familiar
rations. But, as the Greeks bearing
gifts were regarded with well-founded
suspicion and alarm by men looking
beneath the surface for the actuating
cause, so will the incOrrigible pessim-
ist of to-day shrug his shoulders in
doubt at this all too beneficent project.
The millennium is not yet visible to his
myOpic organs, and he will seek for
the wood-pile and the traditional Sem
egambian said to be concealed some
where within its apparently closely
ranked billets He will recall the time
when the daily papers gave columns
of laudation to one Pullman who in the
plenitude of his purse and his humani-
tarianism built a town, s'with all the
modern conveniences, for his employ
es-furnishing them gas, electricity,
baths. education and religion after the
latest and most approved methods
showing a fatherly interest in their
moral and spiritual as well as their
temporal welfare that was unprece-
dented and unparalleled. The memo
ry of the events subsequent to, and,
perhaps, consequent upon, the unwont-
ed and amazingly philanthropic scheme
of the sleeping-car magnate, does not
serve to reassure the stubbornly-thin
ing ''pessimist. He reasons in this
manner: why should the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company assume this
sudden interest in the future of men no
longer of service to it? | remember
that, owing to railroad influence ex-
erted upon many State legislature
that of Pennsylvania among them,
believe-the utmost value of the life of
an employe sacrificed to their service
is set at $4,000; that when inventions
rendering such sacrifice less frequent
are perfected, it often requires the ar
bitrary hand of Populistic power to en-
force their use; that railway employees
have been sent to prison for refusing
to work at stinted wages or under des-
potic conditions; that to the corpora
tion the cheaper Hun, Italian, or other
'tractable' foreigner, is more accepta-
bic than the higher-priced and more
intelligent American. Why, then, this
sudden change of heart and base-this
new-sprung Eden in the capitalistic
desert? How have human machines,
self-replacing when worn out, ready
made to hand-without money and
without pr1ce-so quickly evoluted into
objects of cherished solicitude which,
when past service, are to be tenderly
cared for, as the humane master pad
