RESULT OF THE PRIMARIES

The result of the primaries was a
splendid showing for native Republi-
canism. The Hawaiians, instead of
holding aloof and f1ucking by them
selves in sullen enmity to things Am
erlcan' came out and signed the party
roll and cast their first Republican bal
lots. No better answer could have been
made to the Wilcox-Testa threat of a
separatist movement. Taking these evil
dences OF native good sense in connec-
ton with similar evidences in other ISL
ands of tie group and we have a very
comfortable assurance indeed that no
coIor line or policy of revenge will be
permitted to intrude upon the good
natured rivalries of Hawaiian politics.
so many natives having come in. it
is now in order to begin campaign of
education among them and get the rest.
Political tracts in the native tongue and
sound articles in the native press. and
particularly good speeches explanatory
of simple Republican doctrine, would
do great deal just at this time. There
is a hunger for information about the
meaning of Republicanism, which the
party here should satisfy. The more
that hunger is fed the better for Repub-
Ecanism-for the grand old party has a
record that makes votes for it, and none
to apologize for or to conceal.
We have started well, and by keeping
up the gait will have a clear majority

Lassan Butte, Il snow-clad, conical
peak in Northern California, was the
scene of CALIFORNIA; latest volcanic
eruption in the eighteenth century.
Biologists think it was active about
one hundred and twenty-five years ago.
OF recent years and even in recent
weeks the people living in the neigh Dor
hood have reported an appearance of
smoke at Lassen's peak and the sound
of rumbling noises. Shasta, too, has
been more than once under suspicion.
The region is spotted with lava and
full of bubbling springs, some of them
hot and all of them gaseous, and it has
frequent earthquakes, hence it would
not be astonishing to see volcanic
outbursts there. Very possibly Califor-
mia would have fewer seismic disturb
ances If it had a vent like Kilauea TO
carry off imprisoned steam.

THE TRAGEDY OF INDIA.

According to all accounts there /:
no lack of grain in India: the ware.
houses are bursting with it. The trou.
BILE is that several millions of the pool
inhabitants cannot afford supply
there is no money TO buy what is free
1y offered for sale. If the people
had a very little money per capita
they would not starve, for two
cents per day will keep life In an in
yidual when invested at the overflow
ing grain depots
Probably five million dollars would
see the starving Indians safely through
until the next crop. That is about the
weekly cost of the war which Great
Britain is waging in South Africa. No
doubt the money could be raised by
philanthropic appeal in England and
America. but the question always rises
in the economic mind, What is the use?
and until it is answered. the worlds
charity Will not flow IN generous vol
ume even though the need of it, indivi-
dually speaking, is most importunate.
The truth about India is that the
chance TO earn living has been con-
stantly lessened by over-population.
There are now more men and women
unemployed than there are tasks of la
Dor to employ them with. In the old
days when such conditions came to
pass nature asserted itself and in war
famine and pestilence restored the
equilibrium. There were then no for
eign garrisOns to keep the peace and
governments did not go out of their
way to keep people alive. Civilization
has entered India and by giving the
natives chance to multiply in peace
is actually doing the mass of them an
injury. Once there was a survival of
the fittest; now even the fittest are
having hard time keeping body and
soul together. By ana by the popula-
ton will press upon the means of sub
sistence as well as upon the opportuni-
ties of labor, or, in other words, there
will be more mouths to feed than there
will be bags of grain to feed them
from. 1t Will no longer be a question
OF money but of staple provender. AL
ready millions of people are coming
upon the charity OF the world and there
will be millions more. All who are
saved from the operation of natures
economic laws now will leave more to
save next year. A decade hence civili-
cation may have made an India from
which it will have to turn aghast,
leaving the old agencies of war, pes
thence and plague to do their appoint
ed work
This is the consideration which
lessons the natural flow of charity to-
ward the teeming land of the Hindus.
1t is a conception of the magnitude, the
impossibility, of the task of saving In
dia from itself; a fear that help is
merely to pro.oLg the agony and bring
1t In greater volume upon others yet
unborn. Still the Christian world is
Mortified at the thought of standing by
and seeing such a vast tragedy work
out to its memorable end.
But what can be done more than 10
stave off day of inevitable calamity?

Effects of u Late supper.

At Stroud, in Worcestershire, a Ger
tain well known tOWnSman had one
night been out to rather prolonged
supper with some of his friends, and on
his way home had the misfortune to
fall into a pond which he had to pass,
and which at that time OF the year
contained more mud than water.
Several people who saw him fall in
rushed TO his rescue, and a rope was
procured and thrown to him; but he
refused the aid offered and commenced
swimming for the shore in a most
scientific manner, shouting to those on
the bank, Never mind me; never mind
mel can swim. Save the women and
childreni"

The Tipping Nuisance

The New York Press Club is deter
mined to abolish tipping in its new and
commodious quarters in the Morton
building, and this is held out as one of
the many attractions of the reorganiza-
ton. Twice a year the club will re-
member it's faithful servitors in honor
ariums sufficiently generous to compen-
safe for the lost tips from individual
members. This plan has been tried be-
fore, but never strictly lived up to. In
many club men the tipping disease has
taken so deep a root that it's eradication
can be accomplished by only the most
heroic measures. Victor Smith would
suggest a system based on the laws of
usury. PenaliZe the waiter who ac-
cepts a tip, requiring him to refund not
only the dime, quarter or half dollar
presented, but to give up another dime,
quarter or half dollar out Of his own
pocket. This method might be harsh,
but it would be drastic

James Creelman, the Ananias of yell

familiar ring inasmuch as Mr.. Creel-

The attempted fraud at Kalihi, by
which the ballot DDZ was stuffed, came
about, partly because of the looseness
and responsibility of our primary
voting system. We need here such
laws as were lately introduced at San
Francisco. With these it would neither
be possible to stuff the ballot box nor
to palm off party foes as party electors.
Now it is no trouble at all to do both.

Low Decks Before he PoDe.

a short time ago some American la
dies who were visiting Rome, wishing
to attend a papal reception, made their
appearance in ordinary court dress,
having awaited themselves to the full
est extent of the decollettage. Pope
Leo was Mortified when he noticed them
and determined TO take steps for its
prevention in future A certain well
known cardinal was instructed by him
to inform the ladies of their breach of
etiquette. The cardinal was a man of
the world and realized that the matter
must be approached with the utmost
tact and delicacy. After due consider
alton he approached the ladies and ad-
dressing them, said: THE Pope is old
fashioned and does not like decollette
dresses; but, he continued, waiv1ng his
hand lightly in the air, ''for me, am
quite accustomed to them, you know;
have been so much among savages that
do not mind them" 1t was some time
before the ladies grasped the full sig

from Pelin after due conferences with
the other commanders as to time and
manner of withdrawal ,,
Gen. Chaffee was made acquainted with
the atti sude of the government and was
directed to hold himself in readiness TO
withdraw his troops. Undoubtedly he
has conferred with the other commando
ers as to the time and manner of with
drawal according to the terms of the
note. The sending of further supplies to
him has been stopped and he now awaits
but the signal from washington to begin

The considerations before him IN favor
of immediate withdrawal, are, first. the
fact that he is already committed in a
manner to such course by the above
quoted language in reply to the Rass al
note. Second. it is represented that China
is on the verge of terrible famine and
the retention of the troops in Pekin,
preventing. as they do, the return Of the
Chinese government, and the supply of
provisions to the capital places tie re-

PROTECTION OF AMERICAN INTER

On the other hand, strong representa-

opposition to withdrawal In advance of
the procurement of absolutely sufficient
guarantees for the protection of Ameri-
can interests in China and for the safety
of the native Christians This last addi-
ton is one most difficult to meet, but be-

army officer who accompanied the Beers
in their campaign as military observer:
Lourenzo Marques. Events have re-
quired the departure of the attaches to

LONDON, Sept 12.-The flight of Pres
ident Kruger from what Is now designated

regarded here as indicative of an early
end of the hostilities In South Africa.
Significant also. although it IS uneon-
firmed, is the encouragement that Gen.
Botha. the Boer cemrnander-in-chief. is
making overtures to surrender, ard the
question whether the Burghers will now
follow the usual course of beaten armies
and lay down their arms or formally de-
clare in favor of guerialla warfare must
be speedily settled. It is, however, be-
lieved here that President Kruger's action
depTives the Beers of their main pretext
