Can touch the human bclrt or lppe1Bc
Or satisfy our nObler needs.
As he who sets his willing feet

And follows fearless where she leads.
But religion was the soul of Raphaels
art, and there followed description OF
his sacred paintings and the perfection
with which he portrayed his ideal. the
Madonna. Raphael was classed among
the few apparently marked by Heaven
with divine. as well as human genius.
The essay concluded thus;
Centuries have elapsed since the
mighty hand OF Raphael lay pulselesS
on his breast, SIN, Dead he is not,
but departed. for the artist never dies

Divine simplicity Of human art

Great attention was given TO this
number by the auditors and they were

PronouncinE Hawaii.

One Of the most forcible impress.
eions made upon the listeners to the
Hawaiian debate in the Senate is the
dire need OF m agreement among the
Senators as TO the pronunciation OF
that territory's name. 1t would be
difficult to get together anywhere SO
persons who have more original and
various ways OF pronouncing the
name that the sc solons who are leg
islating for the islands, says the New
York Times. No two Of them pro-
nounce the name alike and when
there is a spirited debato OH some
amendment with several Senators all
talking ut once and all pronouncing
the name according to their various
whims, 1t sounds like an echo of Ba-
bel.
Senator Morgan,w who was one OF the
Hawaiian Commissioners, thinSs the
name should be pronounced Hawaii
yah, Senator PcttIgrew who has been
there calls it Hawaii, with the IL
long and the accent on it. Senator
Butler accents it on the first syllable
Ha-way.eye but he accents the Sec
ond syllable. Senator Halls is a be-
lever in the first syllable rs the bear
er OF che accent, but he calls it IIaw-
wah-yeh.
Senator Platt Of Connecticut calls
it Ha-way-ah. Senator Aliens pro-
nunciatien Is nearly the same, but he
calls it H~a.way-yah. Senator Spoon
er's version is very near the same us
Pettigrew's and slides the a and / to.
gether 80 quickly as to produce a
pronunciation almost exactly like
Pettigrewis.
Senator Tillman pronounces 1t Ha-
wah.ee, with the accent strongly on
tho secoud syllable and the third
barely audible. But Senators Teller
and Chiffon jointly hold the prize for
novel and original pronunciations.
MIR. Teller calls it Hy.wy.ah with the
accent strongly on the first syllable
and Mr.. Chiffon calls it Hi-wi with
the accent on the second.

KING GOLD E"SrHRoNED.

BY signing the new gold standard
bill President Mckinley has made it
impossible to repeat the scare by
which no WIS elected in 1896. He
has eliminated the free silver terror
from the list OF spoke i'll the Rcpub-
licau graveyard. The government is
so bound md haudcutfed by this law
that Mr.. Bryan as President could do
no more Tor silver than Grover Cleve.
land. The Republican party will
have to fight this years campaign on
this years issues-such issues rs it is
now struggling with, i'll helpless i'm
becility, in the Senate.
1t was we'll to have Il final, official
announcement of the hypocrisy OF the
Republican position before the bill
became II law. The Senate added Ia
the measure a clause providing that
nothing in it should be understood t"
interfere with our adhesion to an in
ternational bimetallic agreement il
IL could be secured. On the
strength of this Senator Wolcott OF
Colorado voted for the bill, express.
ing his religious belief TINT the Re-
publican party was the friend Of BIZ
metallism.
When the conference report reach.
the House, Mr.. Williams OF Illinois
asked whether the new bonds would
not have TO be paid in gold even il
international bimetallism should be
secured, to which Mr.. Overstreet, in
charge OF the bill. frankly responded:
arie bonds could only be paid IL
gold. This bill holds out not the
slightest hope of international bimot.
allism under present conditions. |
cay frankly that this bill will make it
practically and absolutely impossible
ever to have international bimethl-
ism at the ratio Of II to l."
In other worde the declaration in
favor Of international bimetRllism
was as much a fraud as the silver
plank in the Republican national
platform upon which President Nc
Kinley was elected.
We are therefore opposed to the
free coinage OF silver except by inter.
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations OF the world
which we pledge ourselves TO pro.
mote.
Thus far Senator Wolcott has been
the chief victim OF the latest bimetaI.
lie confidence game. After Mr.. Over
streets candid explanation there is uu
danger that the people OF the United
States will become his companions i'll

OUR NATIONAL DISGRACE.

II Simpsons flagship had been
aunk of San Jaun; il General Miles
and his army had been driven into

thought that the country had been
Inundated. But a greater Disgrace
We have deliberately brought upon
ourselves in Porto Rico. No military
defeat or naval disaster could tarnish
the American ilaS SO shamefully US
the curse OF our government toward
the Porto Ricans. For eighteen
months we have had their islands in
our possession. Tho inhabitants re-
cciycd our rule with enthusiastic ac.
claims. They have waited patiently
and hopefully for our government to
make a beginning OF redeeming it's
solemn pledges, but the bill o be-
fore Congress. treating them us aliens
and outcasts has destroyed their last
illusion. We print elsewhere II letter
from q Porto Rican merchant vino de-
clares that a great majority OF the
people uf the island, not including the
resident Spauiards, would today vote
for n return to Spain.
All the public and private informa-
ton available points to the same con.
clusion. Porto Rico finds the Ameri-
can yoke heavier than the Spanish.
all oui fine promises and loud boast.
ing have come down to this-that we
have expelled Spain from the West
ern Hemisphere, only to make her
former subjects devoutly wish her
back again. This is our disgrace i'll
the eyes OF the world. General Ma
Gals might have driven OF all our
ships, and killed or captured all our
soldiers, without causing American
such cause to hang their heads III
shame as have their own rulers by
their long laundering and browning
cruelty III in the treatment OF Porto
Rico.
We have not the heart even 10 re-
mind our optomistic lingo friends Of
what they said in lS93when this thing
began. All the difficulties in the way

tendencies they then lightly brushed
aside; the American people could he

it used triumphantly to be said. even
u Tammany government i'll Porto
Rico would be better than the Span
ish. But, rs we say, this is no time
for tauntIng the impetuous expan-
sionists who got us into the scrape.
Many OF them, we know. feel outrag-
ed and humiliated at the Presidents
shllly-shallying and at the spectacle
OF Congress struggling in the grasp
OF its protection owDcrs. All we
strive for now is an escape from the
threatened lgnominy, and we will not
