Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Sir Arthur Sullivan, who died suddenly
yesterday in England. gave the world much
pleasure in his time. His music was of
character to reach the average taste. 1t
was tuneful and easily remembered. 1t
set pitch for the people of two continents
and for at least decade and half it
was the most popular of all musical COM
position. The operas which Sullivan COM
posed in collaboration with the librettist
Gilbert were wonderfully successful. For
several years product from these two men
was assured in advance of an enthusiastic
reception. "Pinafore" became almost an
institution. The bright lines and the grace
full airs of that opera caDtivated all hear
ers and when it was followed by such
other successes as the Pirates Of PEN
zance." Patience" The Mkado' and The
Gondoliers, together with several other
less successful operas, 1t was evident that
the two amusement furnishers had estab
lished a record not likely soon to be broken.
Sullivan wrote other and more ambitious
music than these operas. and his influence
some. Few men leave such enduring mem
cries behind them. The world will be
whistlng airs from Sullivan's compositions
probably generations hence when more
serious operate efforts have been entirely
relegated to the musical pigeon hole.

The Hawaiian Legislature.

A brief dispatch from Honolulu supple
ments the information received a few days
ago as to the result Of the elections in
Hawaii. 1t appears that Wilcox was chosen
delegate to the present Congress by :}l6 ma
jority and to the next Congress by III ma
jority. The independent native party is re-
ported to be in full control of the legisla-
ture having a majority in each house
and also over both republicans and demo-
Gratis on joint ballot There remains some
curiosity yet as to whether the senate is
so constituted as to permit union be-
tween the republicans and democrats to
insure the confirmation Of the governors
appontees. The word majority as used in
the dispatch is not altogether to be re.ied
upon, as it is frequently misused for plu-
rality. The need Of a cable to Honolulu
receives constant confirmation in such a
season, when there is real anxiety concern
ing the events in the islands.

policy was proclaimed early In the cam
paign and it did not figure in the slightest
during that struggle The President was
not on trial for what he had or had not
done in China Fortunately the demagog
ism of the opposition did not go SO far as
to charge the administration with imperial
istic aspirations in Asia. Consequently
there was no reason to look for any chang
ing of the Chinese policy when the Presi-
dent was so emphatically Endorsed. Indeed,
if change had been possible 1t would, on
the assumption that the political victory
had made him more enterprising. have been
toward territorial demand by the Presi-
dent. which would have precipitated parti-
ton beyond question.
The truth probably is that the United
States policy in China is so clear and
straightforward that it is incomprehensible
for its very sincerity to the European mind
accustomed to subterfuge and double mean
ings to hidden motives and secret clauses.

1t Is gratifying that the Business Mems
Association should. as was indicated by the
speech OF its retiring president at the an
nual meeting last night, favor the notable
pubic improvements advocated by other
organized interests and by the municipal
authorities, such as the condemnation of
the land south of Pennsylvania avenue for
public building purposes. the construction
of a memorial bridge. new municipal
building and new police court and other
local betterments now under consideration.
Such cooperation between the citizens and
the Commissioners will assuredly have a
stimulating effect upon Congress in its legls-
lation this winter. At the same time it is
to he regretted that there should be a di-
Vergence from this harmony in the matter
of the code. That proposition now has the
Endorsement of the Bar Association, the
Board of Trade and the District Commits
sioners. 1t represents the desires of the
District courts, having been prepared by
Judge Cox. 1t has been under close. even
microscopic. examination for a long time
having been under consideration for several
seasons. 1t has run the gauntlet of the
House and is the point of being
favoraby reported to the Senate by the
!. District committee of that body. 1t is most
! desirable that no further delays be encoun-
tered. The fullest opportunity has been
given in the past to every interest affected
to declare its wishes in the matter and there
has been no disposition on the part of those
in charge of the measure to force its en-
actment by snap judgment. The main point
is to secure passage. however. this winter.
and as early as possible, in order to avoid
the danger of poStponement at the close OF
the short session. The proposed code is
perhaps not perfect. Occasion may be
found in the near future to amend it, 1t
does not stand as law of finaity for the
District, never to be altered. 1t accom-
plishes. however, the greatly desired OBJ
ject Of securing uniformity in the legal
practice. clearing away doubts and smpli-
flying the procedure to the end that justice
may be more certainly administered. Every
business interest is concerned to this end
and 1t is to be hoped that the association
will not seek to Cbstruct the passage of
the code now that it has so nearly attained
final enactment, if only to demonstrate to
Congress that subject appealing to
the popular interests of the capital there
is unity of sentiment

The Inspection of Drug stores.

Commissioner Mcfarland has wisely
taken warning from the great Tarrant
building fire and explosion In New York
and ordered a careful and systematic in
spection Of the premises of all the drug
stores in this District henceforward. 1t is
well that this step has not been postponed
until forced by a local disaster. There is
clearly serious danger In these establish
ments. The exact cause of the Tarrant
fire will perhaps never be made known. but
a strong suspicion prevails that It was due
to the combustion Of chemicals, and expert
evidence shows that quantity. Is not a ma
terial factor under such circumstances
Doubtless there are numerous establish
ments in Washington carrying a SUFFICIENT
stock to cause a most serious DESIGNATION

Worlds Most Beautiful City,
From the Springfield Republican

The national capital is never happier than
when 1t is in the glow Of festivities of some
sort. 1t ought to be unusually contented
this winter, for. besides the Inauguration in
March Of President upon whose imperial
sway the sun never sets. there will be on
the 18th of next month a centennial celebra-
ton Of the establishment Of the United
States government at Washington. While
event of national importance, the cen
tennial has not aroused national interest as
yet. All the governors have been invited,
and the exercises are calculated to be i'm
pressve There will never be any more
talk. such as was heard some years ago,
about moving the national capital to Chi
cago. st. Louis or Kansas City. Washing
ton is acquiring the hailowedness of age as
well as the graces of the worlds most
beautiful city.

The Divorce Evil.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Laudable as are the limited efforts Of
churches to checA the divorce rage the
proportion of Americans enrolled In church
organization and submitting to denomina-
tlonal discipline is so slight a fracuon Of
the nation that religious reaction against
the divorce rage will prove only partially
effectual. Until the moral sense of the ma
ton itself through its secular agency is
aroused to statutory barriers the rage for
divorce must persist, subject only to spas
modic variations in intensity. At its pres
ent pace 1T threatens to submerge the
American people in a tidal paroxysm of
free love. The pagan Roman used to be
measured not by his great or good deeds,
but by the number Of his divorces. To this
extreme of social laxity practically free d.
vorce is bearing the American nation The
threatening evil will encounter no effectual
check until the states and territories adopt
an identical statute forbidding remarriage
Of the guilty divorced person.

An in daytime all rejoice.

Voice Culture is Neglected.

An American woman has had the courage
to assert that her sisters have unpleasant
voices. She is undoubtedly right in this,
though mere men have seldom dared to say
it. The climate cannot be wholly response
BILE. Many voices originally rough or shrill
have been trained into harmony. The
trouble Is that voice culture is shockingly
neglected in modern schemes of education.
Besides the assertiveness of the mouern
woman leads her to speak too loudly. Ine
"shrieking sisterhood'' is a literal as well
as fgurative expression.

Proposed Purchase
OF Danish
West Indies,

Recent developments indicate that
the published reports of the desire
Of the United States to purchase the
Danish West Indies had serious
foundation. One of the principal
reasons the United States would
have in making this purchase, would
bee the desirability and availability
of the HarbOr of st. Thomas, which
could be utilized as a coaling sta
tion, or even as a naval construc-
ting and docking station. The
Government authorities have alre-
Ady taken pains to inform themsel-
yes thoroughly in reference to this
harb0. 1t is said that at compare
lively small Cost, it could be SO for
titled as to make it practically i'm
pregnable.
1t is also limited that this purcha-
Sc, it made will be only a prelimi-
nary step towards bringing lbe en-
tire Antilles group under the Anne
rican flag.
Many prominent and leading sta
tesmen in the United States are
strongly in favor of exchanging the
Philippines for the British West
Indies. While Great Britain has
her South African War on her hands
it is not lihely that any thing in the
nature of diplomatic negotiation will
be attempted, but that war appears
to be nearly at an end.
Certainly, from geographic point
of view such an exchange would
seem to be beneficial to both parties.
Its an open secret that England
would be qnite willing to accept any
reasonable offer for her West In
dian possessions, which are of no
use to her, while the Philippines
seem to be only source of expense
to the United States.
They would, however, be of vast
importance to England in connection
with her great Eastern Empire.
