IIr. McDermott,s Remarks.

Mr. McDermott was next to speak in
opposition TO the resolution, saying in
part:
MIR. Speaker. the objection is raised 10
this resolution that it will be impossible
to obtain a comprehensive report under
it. That is true. 1t provides that the
committee Shall investigate and report in
what States certain conditions exist.
Now, that does not make it incumbent
upon the committee to examine The con
ditions in every State that regulates the
u.s. of the suffrage The proposition
should rather be a negative than an af-
irmative one. and the resolution which
hold in my hand as a substitute would in
my opinion, reach the heart of the ma ter
and enable an intelligent report to be
presented to this House. There is not a
state IN this Union that has not added to
CT subtracted from the Federal cons itu-
tiOnal reGuirements-not one. Take the
state of Pennsylvania, represented in
part by the introducer of this resolution
Now, Mr.. Speaker, If there is any ad-
dtion, whether as a matter Of police reg
ulation or otherwise, to the constitutional
amendments regulating the franchise and
the resultant representation in this
House if there is addition or subtrac ion
of ore iota. then those who desire to live
UP to inns constitution. no matter
whether they ruin their neighbors. no
matter whether they again kindle the fires
of sectional strife those who in their
love for the Constitution are 50 mentally
rigid that they would demand its enforce
ment though they set the Union afame,
must include every State in this Union.
Let the investigation be not in the line
of sectional partisanship. but let it deter
mine whether there is State in the
Union that lives up to this constitutional
requirement. / venture to say, with some
familiarity with this question, after some
research as to the qualifications that the
different States impose upon voters. that
there is not a State in the Union that,
under that constitutional amendment, is
entitled to a single Representative in the
House" Applause on the Democratic
sidc.l

the resolution. His speech was delivered

COMING THEATRICALS.

Honolulu is likely to have some thea
trical amusement in the near future.
Though the theater is deprecated by
some, the bulk of people delight in and
are elevated by high class theatrical
performances. There are plays and
plays, just as there are novels and
novels. and poems and poems. Some
novels are simply vile, but that does
not mean that we should condemn all
novels, because there is an immense
mass of novels which are in the highest
degree amusing. Some poets have pro-
stituted their genius and have written
the songs of the very sewer of life, but
that doe not prevent the purest from
studying Milton or Shakespeare.
Browning or Tennyson.
Because some plays have an immoral
or prurient tendency, that is no rea-
son why all plays should be condemn
ed. There are hundreds upon hundreds
of plays Of a poetic domestic, patriotic
and elevating character Hundreds of
plays, which when people have seen
and heard them, they feel better for.
And on the stage there are cultivated
men and women whose career through
out has been as spotless as that of the
high mipded and virtuous in any walk
in life.
If there has been a change for the
better anywhere, it has been on the
stage during the last century. The
drunken and dissipated actor of the
early part of last century has been re-
placed by the polished gentleman, fire.
qucntly a scholar, who can take his
place in any society and has a high
ideal of his calling. The actress is a
worthy lady, domestic, we'll educated,
frequently a devoted mother
That there are those in the profe ssion
who do not come up to this standard
is true, but it is also true that pastors
have been proved immoral, Sunday
School. superintendent have been en-
beZzlers, and others who have occupied
such positions have been found vicious.
Honolulu VIII look forward with
pleasure of its coming theatrical sea-
son, and viii turn out we'll in support.

out the whole English speaking world.
He has performed a task similar to
what Sir Walter Scott undertook upon
the failure of the Ballentynes. He was
faced by a mountain of debt and
through his own efforts he has paid it
off. He has returned to his own coun-
try to rest after his labors, and he is
met by this snarling criticism.
But has Mark Twain deteriorated,
does he show signs of decay. Last
year he published THE man who cor
rupted Hadleyburg." The fun of this
shows no diminution of the bright
Mark Twain of the seventies
The conception of the story is ex-
tremely good, the working of it out is
humorous in the extreme. The plan
by which the wicked man" attacked
the people of the self righteous little
town was most ingenious, and the fact
that they fell because they had so care
fully kept themselves from temptation
added a moral lesson to the humor and
the ingenuity. To unite these certainly
shows no diminution of power. 1t rath-
or shows a refinement, a better literary
balance. in fact an advance in literary
finish upon the work of Mr.. Clemens
youth.
Age does not necessarily mean deteri-
grafton. We can see this in many
cases. The intellect is frequently
clear and bright when the body may
~ M .
Tennyson wrote are as polished and
as beautiful as any that were written
in his prime. Age did not dim the
intellect of Oliver Wendell Holmes,
nor that of Longfellow, nor of Whit
tier. Statesmen retain their grip upon
affairs well into their last years. Lord
Salisbury, Gladstone, Palmerston, EN-
peror William I, Kruger, are all cases
in point. Lord Roberts has shown as
good generalship at 20 as ever he did
in middle age. You have only to look
at the Senate of the United States to
see how clear and bright intellect can
be at advanced ages.
We naturally take a special interest
in Mark Twain here, because the turn
ing point in his career occurred just
after his visit to these Islands In
fact it was his correspondence from
here, which started him out, as it were.
That Mark Twain will not lack defen-
| ders, and able ones on the Mainland,
| goes without saying. Mr. Peck has
| probably aroused very hornets nest
But it seems right that some word OF
protest should come from the Territory
of Hawaii, which he described when il
was a kingdom, the follies and absudi-
ties Of which he keenly saw, but the
beauties of which touched the poetic
| part of his nature.

It has always been a matter of sur
prise that the Telegraph was not
more used. The survey department
carried on conversations from Lanai
to Maui, and possibly from Maui to
Oahu, With telephone communication
it will be very simple matter to COM
municate from Island to Island. Mes
sages could be forwarded from Kohala
to Hama, thence by telephone to Homo
kowai or MonOlua. Across the channel
to Molokai and thence to some point on
Oahu. OF course there is the disad-
vantage of cloudy weather, but the
percentage of cloudy days in this elm
ate is very small. The scheme is quite
feasible and has often been recon-
mended in the past without avail.

The storm still continues and is MAX
ing all sorts of difficulties for the inter-

to this which lasted for weeks. Our
