Saleza's Coffee Service.

Saleza, the operate tenor, has re-
ceived from Queen Victoria complete
silver coffee service in appreciation of
his singing for her at Windsor At the
time of the performance he had to leave
the palace to take his role in the opera
too soon to make his wishes known as
to the nature of the customary present
and was requested to tell messenger
sent to him. When the Queen learned
that he wanted a silver coffee pot for
his new house in France, she was SO
pleased that she sent him a whole SER
vice.

Now that the nomination of Sam
Parker is as sure as anything in the
future can be, Judge Little of Hlo is
trying to climb into the band wagon.
That is the eminent jurist's way. But
all the same while Little talks sweet
nothings about Parker, his political
bodyguard, the Olaa squatters, are de-
nouncing Parker as a land-grabber and
meat trust octopus. Evidently 1T would
not hurt Titles feelings much to have
Parker beaten and the way made clear
two years from now for the man whom
the Squatters' Association prefers.

Oahu College opens under satisfac-
tory auspices and with a spirit of prog
ress which is good to see. The remark
made by Prof. Alexander at the exer-
cises yesterday that an Agricultural
Department and a Manual training
school might we'll be added to the Col
lege plant calls up a vision of the Uni
versity of Hawaii which growing in
terest in the educational development
of these Islands ought to ordain. Time
was when Hawaii educated the youth
of California; now California educates
many of our youth who deserve to have
University facilities at home. Rich
men among us who want enduring
monuments on the soil where they
made their money should not overlook
the chances which Oahu College, in
feeling the need of expansion, now
presents to them.

The partition of China no longer
seems imminent. Viewing the vast ex-
tent of the Empire and the multitude
of its people, the European powers re-
coil before the responsibilities of seiz-
ure. All the forces Europe could spare
from its own soil would not be suffi-
cient to hold the Chinese down should
they attempt to rise; and it is possible
that the Europeans themselves would
fall out over their respective jurisdic-
tions. The Anglo-American demand
for an open door also has its influence.
Probably, in the final analysis, the
powers VIII forego new territorial
claims and be content with spheres of
influence.

The Chinese Pest In Russia.

According to an investigator named
Levitow, who spent last summer in the
Amur province, the Chinese are invad-
ing that region and driving out the
Russian peasantry, who cannot live so
cheaply. The movement began with the
extension of the great railroad, and has
proceeded with great rapidity.

Rev. DIR. d. z. Sheffield in the Century.
II the people of China are broken apart
by foreign power in the time of their
weakness, they will come together again
in fierce collision with that power when
they have in Some measure recovered pos
session of their strength. China is too
great prize to be divided up among the
nations of the West, to become an added
element of jealousy and rivalry. The sug-
gestion of the division taxes the diplom-
acy of the nations to the utmost to pre-
serve peace in their relations. 1t is doubt
full ii IL can be accomplished without war,
and if successfully accomplished the pos
session and government OF this vast dis
integrated territory, with it's people rest
less, under the wrongs they have suffered,
would increase the present international
tonsion and continually jeopardiZe the
peace of the world.

One day during his presidency General
Grant came into the room where his
cabinet was assembling, quietly laughing
TO himself. Il have just read" said he,
'cne of the best anecdotes L have ever
met. 1t was that John Adams, after he
had been president, was one day taking a
party out to dinner, at his home in
Quincy. when one of his guests noticed a
portrait over the door and said, You have
a fine portrait of Washington there, Mr..
Adams Yes was the reply, and that
ola wooden head made his fortune by
keeping his mouth shut, Z" and Grant
laughed again with uncommon enjoyment
The apocryphal story gained a permanent
interest in Grants mouth, for though he
showed no consciousness that it could
have any application to himself he evil
dently thought that keeping the mouth
shut was enough in itself to insure for
tuhe, and at any rate was not displeased
| at finding such ground of sympathy with
| the Father of His Country. Grants tel
| ling the story seemed to me, under the
cir umstances, infinitely more amusing
than the original

John Brisben Walker in the Cosmopolitan.
The meanest student of international
affairs would understand what would
hi rpen If Russia succeeded in assimilat-
ing into her empire the millions of China.
A people enduring the most severe
fatigues, living on little rice and water,
pa tient, obedient TO discipline, and with
an almost Turkish indifference in the
presence of danger, the Chinese make ex-
cellent private soldiers. With millions
offcered and equipped by Russia the over
running of India and Persia would be
child's. play. The day that Russian in
fiuences predominant in China English in

Europe would be completely at The mercy
% Russia. and that even the Americas
might have cause to fear.

From the Review of Reviews.
In so far as franchise restrictions on
their face apply equally to the entire citi-
zenship, and do not set up class or race
distinctions, they are not likely to be an
nulled by an appeal to the supreme court
of the United States. But they have one
very practical bearing that interests the
people of the whole country. Under the
amended constitution of the United
States, representation in congress is not
based essentially upon the relative num-
Der of people living in the various states,
but rather upon the number of legal male
voters.
