A REVERENT NATION.
Facts Showing That the People of the
United States Are Devout.

1t is a pleasure to believe that we
are a reverent people. Admiral Dew
ey recently requested the rector of the
church in Washington which he at
tended to give thanks to God for the
outcome at Manila in 1898. Captain
Philip of the battleship Texas rem
dered thanks to God Immediately af-
ter the battle ended for the naval vic
tory at Santiago. The critics who are
saying the Americans are Il material
istic and free thinking nation will
here find evidences of their error.
When Governor Bradford, two cen
turtles and three-quarters ago, back in
the early days Of the Maytiower colo
ny, appointed n day of fasting and
prayer on account of the drought, and
then named thanksgiving because
rain came in abundance while he and
his people were praying, he voiced a
spirit of reverence which has permea-
ted American life from that day on
ward. The THANKSGIVING day procla-
nations of Presidents and Governors,
and the religious observanceS which
they call forth, are q feature which Is
unknown in any other country.
Jefferson was called an atheist by
his political enemies. Jackson was
styled an infidel by the opposition par
ty, and Lincoln was supposed to be a
free thinker. In each case these char
Rcterizations were far from the truth.
All of Americas Presidents have been
devout men The religious side Of
Lincoln's nature asserted itself fire.

Honolulu is not wheeling toxin,

have been run since shortly after Shar-
rick and Whitman came here over
two years gao. The latter is in bust
hess here and has organized a sort of
board of trade to regulate prices of
repairing and Sundries, and up to date
l know of no case of the rules being
broken; the result is good prices, no
cutting. An ordinary gas lamp brings

Women AS Census Enumerators.

Women will be employed both rs

bureau expects that numbers of them
will apply for these positions. Women
were first employed in this labor in
1880 In 1890 women again found oc.
cupation as clerks and as census TAX
ers, though then. as now. the fact that
women We're eligible to these positions
was not as widely known as it should
have been.
There are many reasons why this
employment for women is most suit
able. In the first place, as the work
only lasts for few weeks or months
and then ceases absolutely, it has al
ways been found difficult to find the
best men for labor which offers no
permanency of support, while there
many women so situated that they are
glad to have the opportunity to earn

ton which will not take the whole of
their time. The service is not severe,

The number Of persons who will be
