TROUBLE AHEAD.

The fact that the American flag is
floating over the Sulu archipelago has
brought forward a good deal of cheap
wit some denunciation and a few we'll
thought out statements. Among the
latter is an article by Henry o. Dwight,
entitled, Our Mohammedan Wards"
which throws much light upon the at
titude of the Mohammedan towards the
Christian, and especially an ignorant
people like the Moros.
The handspring of Mr.. Dwight's arti-
Gle is a chapter of the compendium of
the holy law, known as the Multeka,
which speaks of the treatment of aliens.
From this it is clear that there is an
obligation which compels every Mo-
hammedan to regard and treat non-M Mo-
hammedans as enemies. There may be
truce, because it is to the advantage of
the Mohammedans to be peaceful, but
the truce can be broken at any time.
1t is this attitude which starts the
frontier tribes of India, as in the case of
the Pathan rising in 1897, or the Turk
ish massacres of 1895, or the long career
of Mahdism in the Soudan. The argu-
ment is therefore made that unless the
United States has the most efficient of
men, who understand the Mohammedan
character thoroughly, there is likely to
be constant trouble with the people of
the Sulu archipelago.
The Sulu Islands are bound to be a
serious problem to the Government of
the United States. Indeed, it will be a
far harder problem than any other part
of the Philippines. The Filipino is a
Cnristian of sorts and it will not be
difficult to handle him when the rebel
lion is over and peace reigns, and he
can be made to amalgamate with any
population that may float in, but a
Mohammedan population will always
remain apart and never amalgamate.
1t will be an interesting problem to
unravel.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION,

Ihere is a very great diversity of
opinion over the proposed new Chinese
society. From an unbiased standpoint
one cannot understand why there
should be this energy displayed. We
nave always treated the Chinese in orr
midst with the best and most impartial
of action. Why should we change this
attitude; and why should we. at the
behest of a meddling consul. who has
caused our local government trouble
enough, change our usual calm course.
The Star is by no means an advocate
of the Bow Wong Society, or of any
other society. But it is an advocate of
fair play. Why should a consular rem
resentative engage counsel to defeat an
organization of his own countrymen?
Had 1t been an organization which suit
ed his own political stripe, he would
never have said word. But evidently
it did not suit his stripe, and so impor-
tant does he think it that he engages
eminent counsel to help his objection.
or course, eminent counsel can be OBJ
tanned on either side of the argument.
Their duty is to express as forcibly as
possible the side Of their clients, no
matter what they may be. If this were
not the theory of law, the many scoun
drels who escape the laws clutches
would be in jail. Where the proper fee
comes, the case of the litigant looks
very satisfactory to the mouthpiece
who argues. Without a theory like this

er, There is a society there which has
been publicly getting funds to assist
the Beers against Great Britain, and
neither the consul in San Francisco, nor
Lord Pauncefote had ever a word to
say. 1t was not so long ago that a
Cuban junta had home in the United
States, working for revolution in that
Island, but he would have been a bold
Spaniard who would have complained.
We must look at these things from a
practical standpoint. One set of think
ers here imagines that we may endan-
ger the relations with China. Another
thinks that reformers from distant
countries ought to be passed to the
Mainland. To the latter it may be
pointed out that this is American soil,
and any one who puts his foot on it has
the inalienable right of expressing his
opinions on whatever question he
pleases, so long as he does not come
under police jurisdiction. If America
is not the land of freedom, what is?
We would not be true Americans If we
gave no asylum to reformers, even
though they may be Asiatics.
The set of thinkers who have an idea
that the relations of China with the
United States might be injured or en-
tangled in any way by the action of
Hawaii, is very much in the dark. In
the first place, Hawaii does not act for
herself in foreign affairs. Washington
is Hawaiis court in anything that oc-
ours with the outside world. Again,
Hawaii, though an integral portion of
the United States, has her own rights
and privileges. The laws of one state
are not the laws of another. Witness
the divorce laws, which vary-it is true
from bad to worse.
The Hawaiian laws allow an organi-
cation of the kind asked for, and why
not grant it. Why should any one as
sumo on the statement of very ire
sponsible consul that it has a sinister
motive?
The fact is the Bow Wong Associa-
ton represents progressive China. The
consul represents unprogressive China,
and the latter is going to head off the
former if he can. We have had a good
dose of revolution in our own progress
sive work. 1t looks rather badly when
the Representatives of a nation begin
to falter over what is that nations

true brotherhood of man."

Minister Damon is prepared TO make
a handsome donation to the hospital Tor
incurables, provided that it's name
shall be the Victoria" Hospital. The
proposition coming from an Hawaiian
American is a great compliment to the
British out here, and is in keeping with
the sentiment so frequently expressed
on the mainland. A. Cunliffe owen
writing in the Forum about English
men in the United States says NO
where out of England are Victoria's
virtues as a woman and as a wise and
sagacious administrator more keenly
appreciated than among the English
speaking people in the Western Henri
sphere" However the matter is open
for discussion among the directors and
will doubtless be duly considered by
them. Certainly we do want the place
to be called the Kerosene Hospital for
Incurables.

The arguments now being put for
ward as to whether the Supreme Court
is legally constituted or not seem 10
be rather of the nature of going round
in a circle. Who is to decide whether
the court is or is not legally constituted
If Justices Frear and Whiting state
that it is not a competent court, that
very fact makes their decision of no
effect. If they decide that they are, the
protests of counsel against the legality
are still there impugning their com
potency. In point of fact we have
reached a point where there can be no
appeal. As for the attitude of the gov
eminent upon the matter, it is, after
all in the position of any other liti-
giants. The Attorney General does not
want to argue before a court which is
not court, any more than the rest of
the bar, and as he must thus be on the
side Of the bar, he cannot very we'll ar
que against the bar. The prosecution
and the defence are for once on the
same side.

THE Christian DAILY MAN.
SOMETHING ABOUT REV. c. NJ.
SHELDON.
His Plan For Running a Daily Paper
LAS Jesus Would"-Sort of Man He
Is.

During recent conversation with
Charles NJ. Sheldon, the famous author
of I'm His Steps" who is soon to try
the experiment of running the Topeka
Daily Capital for a week "as Jesus
would" he talked freely of his coming
experiment and OF his work as a re-
ligious novelist and preacher of the
gospel. He was accompanied by his
wife, a vivacious, charming, brown
haired woman, who has doubtless in
vented many of the scenes and char
acters in his writings and inspired
many of his unique schemes. In APP
pearance Mr.. Sheldon is a typical Celt,
rudy of countenance, tall, large, blue
eyed, brown-haired, gentle in manner,
deliberate in speech.
1t is not generally known that Mr..
Sheldon's coming experiment of editing
the Topeka Capital for a week is not
his first experience in newspaper work.
Five years ago, wishing to get initiated
into the mysteries of the modern daily
Mr.. Sheldon spent week as a reporter
on the Topeka Daily Press. He says
that he spent all his extra time that
week studying the mechanical details of
setting up, printing, folding and getting
the papers on the streets. and in addi-
ton he talked with the men, from edi-
tor to errand boy, about the possibility
OF running a Christian daily. So after
week S experience as reporter and
five years of theorizing, Mr.. Sheldon
outlined his idea of what a Christian
daily should be as follows:
I'm the first place, l would have ev-
cry man employed on the paper in any
| capacitay whatever, whether reporter
or pressman, a Christian. 1 would print
the important and interesting news of
the world with as much dash and enter
prise as our competitors. Two or three
times weekly, in addition, 1 would have
| an entire page devoted to the happen
| ings in the religious world in all lands
| just like the foreign page which is
now regular feature in a number of
| leading dailies. Another feature-and
this is one which, l believe, would be
| tremendously well received-is a Chris
! tan serial story one installment being
printed each day. The Christian daily
could be started at once if the money
necessary for its start were in hand. 1t
would need $1,000,000 capital. The best
! place to start ii would be in one of the
| great cities, although l believe such a
| paper could be made to pay in any
large town of say $4,000 or 100, 900 popu-
lation. The ideal Christian daily should
| be founded by educated Christian men
| just as men in point of abilitiysas those
who are called to fill the ablest pulpits
and professors chairs in our best col
! leges. The highest talent would be
necessary-co intelligence OF
| the highest character"
