MIR. Hayelocl Ellis complains that in that in
valuable work, The Dictionary of National
Riorraphy" there is one great defect. DE
scriptions of the personal appearance of notable
men are much to seek III % per cent
of the biographies of the most eminent men
such descriptions are not TO be found at all.
In a letter to John Morley which is printed in
the Life and Letters which we review today
Huxley asks the editor of the "English Men OF
Letters series if he means to give portrait
Of each of his men. Il think ii is a great com
fort in biography he adds, ITO get a notion
of the subject in the flesh" 1t is more than Il
comfort; it is often a precious help toward
correct understanding of the man. But we
wonder if il is hot also frequently misleading.
There are characters i'll history whose features
have come down to us in transcripts that are
absolutely convincing. Cromwell and Charles
are beth known to us in portraits that we can
not reject. NelaZQueZ gave us Philip in whom
we are bound to believe. Yet the variations in
the portraits of historical parsonage are
sometimes appalling. When the wrong version
is preXpd TO a book it does ncalculabe dam
age and the wrong one is doubtless often
chosen. Such written portraits Mr.. Ellis
demands are perhaps safer than the painted
ones. because in the hands of a competent his
torian they sum up thousand scattered truths.
Two courses are open to the great ones of
this earth if they wish to escape the mlsrepre-
sentation which they suffer in contemporary tic
ton. They may establish finishing school
for nOvelists, with classes in department, chif-
fons, drawing-room slang and so on, or they
may keep the publishers supplied with invita-
lions in blank, to be filled out and sent to the
authors whenever they the great ones, give a
ball dinner. Here is Mr.. Barrie making
Sentimental Tommy address Lady Pippinworth,
III Tommy and Grize' as My lady and as
my peerless Alice" employing. as a critic in
"BlackWood's" wrathfuy declares, the tech
meal vocabulary of the neYer-ending melo-
drama which is doled out to innumerable Gus
toners in weekly slabs by half hundred en-
terprising, if not fashionable, publishers" In
short. what "Blackwoods'' cannot forgive is the
complete falsity of Mr.. Barrie's picture of fash
ionable society None of the critics can forgive
it; it rasps them ALL Something ought certainly
to be done as once to arrest this rapidly rising
tide of gross inaccuracy. Mr. Barrie is not the
only sinner All the noycliSts are terribly at
ease in Zion and Will paint you a Duchess or
Il Prime Minister without winking The writer
IN ''Blackwood's' tries to console himself with
the reflection that. after all the author of
Tommy and GriZcl" may have composed the
Pippinworth scenes with his tongue in his
cheek, but this solution of the difficulty will
not go down; it must be believed that the
passages in question written in perfect
good faith. 1t is very painful. We hope some
philanthrOpic noblpwoman will come to the
rescue of the nOvcliSts and the critics without
delay.

DAMON URGES ECONOMY
PLAIN TALK TO THE COUNCIL OF,
STATE.
Warns the Body Not to Appropriate
over Actual Requirements of This
Time-Yesterday's Meeting.

The most interesting feature of the
Council of State meeting yesterday
afternoon was the fight of Ministers
Damon and Young to keep the appro-
priation for roads in Honolulu down to
the estimate furnished by the Interior
department. The committee to whom 1t
had been referred recommended an in
| crease from $3O6,0O0, as in the bill, to
| S527, 62375. 1t was felt, after going
over the ground, that the former
amount was not enough. Quite a num-
Der of the Councillors agreed with the
committee.
! Minister Young first assailed the in
crease, in the interest of economy. He
said that while the excess could be
used and was needed he did not believe
the Council of State should, as a gem
eral principle, appropriate beyond pres
sing needs. The other islands were in
need of money and should be remem-
bered by the Council in making appro-
priations.
Minister Damon followed with a
strong retrenchment speech, comparing
| the estimated revenues with the prob
able expenditures. He called attention
to the drain upon the treasury Incl
dent to the plague and the loss of GUS
toms and postal receipts. 1t was i'm
portant to show to the Government at
! Washington that Hawaii was proceed
ing cautiously and fairly in public
matters during the interregnum, and
this could not be brought out quicker
than through a sound financial policy
and condition. The Minister did not
believe the country could go backward,
but, on the contrary, thought there
would be renewed and continuous pros
perity At the same time the situation
was not such as to justify appropria-
tons over and above pressing neces-
stiles.
Mr.. Gear took the view that nothing
increased the prosperity of a country
more than good roads. In the islands
this general principle was especially
true. Money expended for roads came
back many fold. 1t could not be call
ed unwisely spent. Mr.. Achi and other
members agreed with Mr.. Gear. and
the item finally passed at the increased
figure.
The item of $4,000 for expenses OF
new steam tug provoked more discus
sion. This came up earlier in the meet
ing. In the consideration of it the
speakers were reversed, Minister Dam
on defending the item and Mr. Gear OF.
posing. 1t was finally referred to the
Attorney General. The remainder Of
the session was given to items in the
estimate of the Minister of Interior.

For few hours last night New York
was strongly reminded of the great draft
riots of the civil war period, when negroes
were hunted about the streets of the me-
tropolis and beaten and killed. Last nights
affair was a race riot, purely. 1t origi-
mated in the murder of policeman by
negro and it resulted in the wounding of
a large number of people. Of both colors.
Fortunately. however, such affairs in the
large cities of the north do not ordinarily
lead to serious consequences. There is not
the deep underlying prejudice to arouse in
the people an intensity OF passion which
leads them to utter disregard of all
order. In short time the animosites
stirred by the particular cause of the trou-
BILE die away. especially when checked by
the arm of the law. The New Orleans riots
of few weeks ago arose from much the
same cause, the killing of policemen by
negro desperate. But in New Orleans the
race feeling was engendered Immediately
upon the commission of the crime, whereas
in New York it required the drunken in
cite a gang of street roughs to start an
anti-negro movement. There are always
disreputable characters in the streets of
the metropolis to foster any excitement,
but it is to the credit of New York that the
disorder was not allowed to spread and
that the victims of the mobs anmosty
received the utmost possible protection.

4 Notable Military Achievement.

One of the most marked compliments to
the enterprise and effectiveness of the allied
relief column now at the gates of Pekin
lies in the fact that it has kept far ahead
of the news. That Is to say, during the
latter progress of the march the worlds
knowledge of the advance has been at least
three or four days behind the fact The
allies have pressed on rapidly that there
has been no time TO erect telegraph lines
and establish courier service. to supply the
outside regions with Information. There
was service line erected up to Peit Sang
and apparently some effort was made to
keep the electric current in touch with the
column at Yang Tsun. But since leaving
the latter place the relief column has
forced its way over incredibly bad roads so
rapidly that the telegraph service has been
virtually distanced. Thus the most efrec-
tive answer has been given to the pessi-
mists who persisted that 1t would be i'm
possible to secure cooperation among the
forces of half dozen different nationali-
ties. 1t is to be doubted whether a relief
army ever made better record, all things
considered Whatever the final result, the
march from Tien Tsin to Pekin will stand
to the credit Of all the powers concerned as
most notable achievement.

All indications sustain the belief that the
allied forces have already made an assault
upon the city of Pekin and that the crisis
has been reached in the situation, even
though We have not yet heard the news.
From japanese sources has come the an
nouncem"rt that Tung Chow was occupied
last Sunday and that the attack on Pekin
would begin Monday. That is the latest
word from the relief column. Unless the
attack has been repulsed and Is developing
into siege some result must have been
achieved ere now, and the word may come
at any hour that the legations have been
rescued that they have been sacrificed

ment

Chang's appeal to hold the allied column
at Tung chow while negotiations were in

no armistice while the necessity for rescu-
ing the ministers remains. There can be

itself to be lured by such a relatively small
item into tolerating the evils there, which
will inevitably hurt the prospects Of the
road IN the legitimate lines of business.
The stoppage of the prize fight at the
Junction last night Is probably only the
preliminary round In the engagement, as
the projectors of the exhibition promise to
force the issue into the courts and secure
a decision in their favor If possible. thus
tying the hands of the sheriff. The law
may uphold prize fighting in Maryland. II
SO 1t will become necessary to seek from
the state legislature a statute which will
prohibit this sport Meanwhile should the
law permit the holding of these demoraliz-
ing exhibitions 1t will not be necessary that
the state allow the resorts to combine
other forms of vice. to attract and corrupt
the youth of Washington. The crusade
against these establishments must be yigor-

If Mr. BRYAN comes in shall we not have
a new tariff bill. cast in free trade mold?
Part of the cry against Imperialism Is
based upon the assertion that the people
are grnaning under taxation levied to sup
port the new policy. Call home the troops
from Cuba and the Philippines and not an
other dollar Of the war taxes Will be neces-
sary. the Bryanites VIII tell you If anti
Imperialism wins at the polls. therefore.
there will accompany the triumph tacit In
structions to the new Congress to reduce
the revenues for the support of the gov
eminent.
The republicans agree that the war taxes
should be reduced, and they would have
brought in a bill for that purpose at the
recent session OF Congress had there been
time. But if the democracy Is returned to
power. and Mr.. Bryan, as he promises
calls an extra session of Congress, the ques-
ton will probably be left to the new Con-
gress to settle. Probably. too. In that event
the question will be enlarged, and instead
of only Topping off the war taxes the DEM
ocrats will go further and revise the whole
Dingley law.
Mr.. Bryan's influence in such circum-
stances would all be in favor of deep cut.
He IL extreme low tariff man. He was
elected to Congress on that issue. was made
member OF the ways ana means Corillnlt-
tee because Of his tariff views, and he
assisted in the preparation Of the famous
Wilson bill That bill it left the hands
of Mr.. Bryan and his friends OF the House
was condemned by Mr.. German and his friends
OF the Senate failure. Reductions had
been so extreme that as Mr.. German insist
ed. the bill would cause a heavy deficit
Whereupon the Maryland leader and his
friends proceeded to reconstruct the meas
ure and to spice the schedules literally with
protection. The general result was botch,
and the country greatly suffered.
But Mr. Bryan's views on the tariff ques-
ton underwent no change. He left Con-
grsks as he had entered Il, free trader.
and. although his silver views have since
occupied much of public attention, when
ever he has had occasion to refer to the
tariff he has made ii plain that he still
regards protection very great evil And
il he reaches the White House, even on the
issue of Imperialism, he may be expected
to the influence of his office as much
in favor of free trade as of free silver.
And. already stated. in the matter of
reducing the var taxes that question will
come pat to hand.
