ACADEMY OF MUsIC.-"The Three Mus
keteers'' was presented at the Academy of
Music last night in Edmund Days drama
tization of Dumas great novel. Mr.. Day
has departed from the conventional plan Of
dividing the play into acts. and, instead,
presents the story in a series of eight tab
leaux. This seems to possess a double
advantage in giving more closely con-
nected and coherent idea of the story, and
at the same time avoiding the usual long
waits between acts in deliberately staged
historical dramas Mr.. Day has been fairly
successful in following out the historic
and general details of the novel. The
scenic effects are good. OF the company
it may be said that the members do all that
could be expected under the circumstances
to give an interesting presentation of the
masterpiece of the elder Dumas. 1t is an
ambitious undertaking for the most finished
of actors Harry Glazier, as DArtagnan,
the handsome, impetuous young swashbuck-
Ter from Gascogney. enters into the full
spirit of the character. He gives an intel
ligent conception of the part and does not
weaken 1t by OVERRIDING. Miss Vail de YER
non as MilaH does the part of the intrigu-
ing spying adventures with considerable
artistic skill, and Blanche Stoddard does

John p. AItgeId to Yale Students.

Young men. life is before you. Two
voices are calling you, one coming
from the swamps of selfishness and
force, where success means death, and
the other from the hilltops of justice
and progress. where even failure
brings glory.
1.-TWO lights are seen in your horizon
one the fast fading marsh light of
power and the other the slowly rising
sun of human brotherhood. Two ways
lie open for you-one leading to an ever
lower and lower plain. where are heard
the cries of despair and the curses
of the poor, where manhood shriv-
els and possession rots down the pos
SCISSOR, and the other leading off to the
highlands of the morning. where are
heard the glad shouts of humanity and
where honest effort is rewarded with
Immortality"

TAKING EMPIRE
STRAIGHT.
Triumph Of Mckinley Means
the Establishment of
Imperialism.

An idea is nursed by quite a number
Of anti-imperialists that their fight
against empire can go OH with good
prospects OF success with Mr.. McKin-
ley in the White House for a second
term. Let us vote for Mckinley, they
say. and destroy Organism forever.
Then we will destroy Imperialism.
Such men suffer themselves to be de-
luded in order to escape from a trying
position.
The reelection of Mr.. Mckinley will
settle the fundamental issue. He will
regard his victory as an Endorsement
of his record and his policy. his party
will take mo backward step" the Phil
ippines will be kept is an American
dependency. and even the supreme
court will be influenced In its decisions
on constitutional questions by the
wishes Of the people concerning Amer
ican territory as expressed at the
polls. To anticipate any other result

MARK HANNA
AS HANGMAN.
How He Would Punish Lead
ers of the Striking
Miners.

Mark Hanna is reported as saying in
Chicago that ''any man who would put
a straw in the way Of a settlement Of
the great coal miners strike now pro-
crossing in Pennsylvania should be
taken out to the nearest lamppost and
hanged"
If Mr.. Hanna means that the Repub-
lican coal operators and their financial
hackers in New York and London who
have made a bogus and barren offer to
the 90 cents n day miners of a 10 per
cent increase of pay or rather of a re-
duction in the price of powder should
be hanged. we can only reply that he
knows them better than we do and is
better able to easur their deserts.
From Hanna's antecedents. however.
we are inclined to believe that he
wants to hang the leaders of the min
ers' union for daring to assert that 80
cents a day is not enough for a man to
support his family on and that the mil
lionaires who are wallowing in wealth
made for them by the miners industry
ought to be willing to allow the miner
a living wage out of what he earns.
Hanna's remark may seem extrava-
giant. but it has a great deal of mean
ing. We have Scriptural authority for
the saying that out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaketh."
Four years ago it would have seemed
incredible that a president Of the Unit
ed States would use the regular army
TO arrest law abiding miners and hold
them as prisoners on the charge that
they belonged to a labor union. Yet
that is just what Mckinley did in Ida
no less than two years ago. 1t may
seem like the rawlings of a mailman for
Hanna to want union men hanged be-
cause they stand up for the rights Of
their fellow men. Yet the election Of
Mckinley on Nov. 6 will be a direct in
vitation to just such a tragedy before
another four years are W New
York News.

Tbe "synaicated President"

Where does Mark Hanna turn when
he starts to raise the enormous cam
paign fund which he warns his sup
porters is essential to the election OF
Mr.. Mckinley? Does he go to the PEG,
pie? Not at all. He goes rather to the
full money bags which have been
made rotund by Mckinley bounties,
Mckinley subsidies. Mckinley con-
tracts and other Mckinley benefits,
contributions from which are not
merely tithes from favors received but
the expression of q lively hope of IA

Where the increased prosperity OF

a colony on Punchbowl, at Kewalo,

prosperity they enjoy is due to their

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

President Dole looked tired yes
terday when Councillor Gear asked
few questions in regard to the '95
claims. The President tries to be
diplomatic, but he cannot fool the
men who know him, aud who now
consider him competent only to sit as
model for Book beer ad. The '95
claimants we're happy to notice that
Mr.. Dole repudiates any authority
on his part to deal with foreign gov
ernments, and his assurance that
the Washington Government has
not yet ordered him to "dig." 1t
will be far preferable to the claim
ants to have the matter referred TO
the first territorial legislature. That
body will repay the '95 men for theiz
unjust treatment at the hands Of the
Dole gang, and ill-treated foreigners
as we'll as Hawaiians, by birth or
naturalization, will get just compen-
sation for the outrages committed
on them by the Dole clique.
Mr.. w. NJ. Cunningham did very
graceful act yesterday after his &C.
.quittal on charge of cruelty to
animals. The genial horseman who
felt somewhat ill-treated by his ar
rest for using biting harness on a
refractory horse, met the Humane
officer, Mrs. Craft, in the street after
the case was over, and instead of
looking vicious or vipdictive, he
pulled up his horse, bowed to the
energetic officer and said: "Mrs.
Craft, ! hope there is no ill-feeling
between us, although regret that
you should take the words OF people
who know nothing about horses
against those OF en- experienced
horsemap. / wish to show my ap-
probation of the excellent work you
are doing in the interest of dumb

toiling sons Of Portugal are to be

We don't believe that single step
has been taken to form political
alliauce between the Hawaiians and
the Portuguese colony, but at the
sumc tune wolare pleased to see the
Dole organ reminding the Por-
tuguese of the numerous benefits
they have gained from the alleged
Americans who used them on several
occasions and kicked them when
ever the object OF the missionary
clique had been gained. The Por-
tuguese colony received lesson in
1887. Shoulder to shoulder the
stood in support of the revolution
lists of that unhappy year, and Mr..
Thurston, the dictator of the day
laughed after he had won his battle,
declined to help the Portuguese
or even give them share in the
patronage at his disposition. In
1890 many Portuguese had realized
that they had been played for ''suck-
ers" aud the majority helped to
elect legislature which turned
Thurston and his ring of unscrup-
ulous boodlers down. In 1893
the family compact made another
bid for the support OF the Por-
tuguess and it was obtained under
false pretensAs. In 1895 it was the
same aud the colony actually still
believed that the missionaries were
their friends. Then came the in
fux OF Asiatics by the thousands
and the driving to the wall OF the
hard working Portuguese. In 1896
they were driven to the point OF
desperation and marched to the
government building in great num-
beers not to ask charity but to ask for
work. Did they get It from these
men whom they supported in 1887,
1893 and 1882 Let the Portuguese
answer when the next ballot is taken
and an expression Of public senti-
ment is called for.
