TO HOMER.

Blind singer of the world desire,
Thy world is ours. Thy song Troy town
Built, burned and then thy Tyre
Burst in blaze of fire
Seas shall not drown.
First kindled in a woman's eyes,
Fire burned high Troy; and beckoned
men
From home; and from the skies
The gods; those flames yet rise.
Yea, rcw as then.
Yea, now as then, the worlds desire,
Though hidden from us, still doth dwell
In Helen's heart of fire,
And breathes upon thy Tyre
Her mighty spell.
Against new gods we wage our wars,
New cities build or burn with fire:
And still beneath the stars.
We beat against the bars
OF blind desire.
Our world is thine. New wars we wage,
Under old skies Our richest wine
Hath SAVIOR of thine age:
We write on life's last page
The book is thine.
OF life's brave book the leaves are turned,
And as we read we wonder how
Thy blinded eyes discerned
LIES hidden fires-that burned
Even then as now.
oh thou who first. when earth was young,
Sang fate defied and mortal slain,
Upon that honeyed tongue
How sweet thy songs though sung
OF mortal pain.
Nhat songs have we thou dost not sing.
what fates thy heart hath not foretold.
Breathe thou tf~e songs we bring;
s!ees on thy mouth s,iil cling,
s,oK, as OF old.

RIGHTS OF THE CHINESE
IN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Attorney General Griggs Fornu-
Iates an Opinion Upon the sub
ject.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. January 49,
Attorney General Griggs. in an opinion
rendered upon the request of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, holds.
First-That a person born in the
Hawaiian Islands IN 1885 of Chinese
parents who are laborers. and taken to
China with his mother in 1890. is en-
titled to re-enter the territory of Ha-
waii, where his father still resides.
Second-That the wife and children
of Chinese person who was natural
ICED in 1887 in Hawaii and still resides
there, are entitled to enter that terri
tory by virtue of the citizenship" OF
the husband and father. This opinion
is based upon the assumption that the
Chinese persons in question, born and
naturalized respectively in the Hawai-
ian Islands, were in fact citizens Of the
republic of Hawaiia under its consti-
tuition and laws on August IL, 1898,
and had not abandoned or lost their
rtehts - such.

imagines, for Victoria has ever been
q motherly, gentle and kind ruler so
far as she has been able to impress her
personality on the affairs of state,
which, unfortunately, has been only to
a very limited extent, since the Queen
is the merest figurehead to the British
government.
Whatever may be thought of the acts
and policies of her government, Queen
Victoria will always be held in highest
esteem throughout the civilized world
as moderate, kindly and virtuous SOW
ereign. She herself must be numbered
as one of the principle victims Of her
cabinets policy OF greedy conquest,
which never had the sanction of her
motherly heart.

! MICH NEEDED REFORM.

The return to the United States Sen
ate within the past two weeks OF such
men as Clark of Montana, Quay OF
Pennsylvania, Frye of Maine, Mac
MILAN of Michigan, Burton of Kansas,
and several others who stand out pre-
eminent as the embodiment of the
money power again brings forcibly to
mind the pressing need OF radical re-
form in the election of Senator'S.
Probably not one of these and other
well known representatives OF the
money power, who have experienced
no difficulty whatever in being returned
by the Legislatures of their several
States, would have been successful II
compelled to abide by the result OF
popular vote at the polls.
Since many other matters Of vital
Importance are involved in the choice
of Legislature the people practically
have no direct voice in the selection
of those who are to represent them in
the highest lawmaking body OF the
land. Hence the aspirant for Senator
ial honors with the longest purse usu-
ally stands the best chance of winning,
utterly regardless of all questions Of
fitness and capacity. The natural and
logical result is to further and more
firmly entrench the money power in
the government at Washington, to the
greater and greater exclusion of the
people Look over the membership
of the United States Senate and you
will find it difficult to discover men
wEo are not either millionaires or well
known representatives of money. No
wonder the upper house of Congress
has been dubbed "The Millionaires'
Club
Yet scarcely a session passes without
the introduction in the lower house
of a resolution favoring the cleo
tion of United States Senators
by the people, while similar resolutions
are regularly passed in the Legislatures
of nearly all the States.
There is only one body that never
entertains such resolutions. That is
the Senate itself The embodirent in
its own membership of the money
power, it is probably useless to hope
that the Senate will take any stem look
ing to the reinforcement OF that power
Its grin once fastened firmly on the
eminent Pm ocracy is not likely to
Voluntarily reliy quish it.

CAUSES OF LAST SUMMERS HEAT.
The annual summary for West Vir-

Faith is the leading star to guide.
And lead our trusting souls above,
Revealing to our inner hearts
The blessings of Gods perfect love.
And when sweet faith our souls ignore,
Dark gloom will overshadow, soon.
And put within these hearts of ours,
All natures music out OF tune.
Then let us in sweet faith abide
Beholding Gods blest. saving light
That will illumine all our souls,
And Danish thoughts of gloomy night
That fill our hearts with gloom and dread
And make our sad hearts, trembling
fear
Oh, fill our souls with love and trust,
And God will then be ever near
