The Bulletin has ever maintained
that Acting Governor Cooper's appeal

ed article to add the finishing touch
that completes the amusement Of the
situation.

gems Of expression bringing out the
sentiments of Hawaii's Chief Execu.

now registered against Secretary
Hitchcock by the Chief Executive OF

the two governors of Hawaii and pos

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
lFrom on Roenlar oorteapondent.l

fFrom Our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. D. c.. AUG. 5, 1901.
Those who had calculated upon
making democratic political capital
out of the Schley court of inquiry,
because Scbley happens to be dem
ocrat, are beginning to see that
their calculations will not be real
ized. The navy department would
have been glad to have ordered a
court of inquiry at any time within
the last three years had Admiral
Schley asked for it, and now that
the court is to be held it will render
every official mid possible to Admir-
al Schley in order that light may be
thrown upon the dark places in the
naval campaign which resulted in
the destruction of Cervera's feet
and if it be shown that the depart
ment was wrong in its assumption
that Schley disobeyed orders with
out properly explaining his reasons
and that he displayed a lack of
Judgment at a critical period, no
where would there be more sntisfac-
tion than in the navy department
Every record of the department has
been thrown open to Capt Parker,
who is one of Schley's counsel, in
order that he may have access to
every scrap Of official evidence that
will be laid before the court. Judge
Advocate General Lemly of the
navy, who will be judge advocate of
the Schley court of inquiry, has
gone away on vacation and will
not return until Sept. 1. His sub
ordinates will arrange all the de-
tails, such rs making a list of wit
nesses who will appear before the
court, etc.

The Greatest of steamships.


Some idea can be obtained of the
dimensions of thel steamship Celtic,
which made her way slowly and
cautiously up the not oversafe chan
mel of New York harbor by stating
that her displacement tonnage is 1O,-
800 tons more than that of the Great
Eastern, which was so great a mar
vel that thousands came to New
York city simply for the purpose of
seeing her. If the Celtic were placed
upon Broadway she would completely
fill that thoroughfare from side to
side, her upper deck would be on a
level with some of the higher busi-
ness structures and her pennant would
reach to the caves of some of the sky
scrapers. Furthermore, she would
reach from bow to stern the length of
some seven Broadway blocks. Her
trip across the Atlantic seems to have
demonstrated the accuracy of the
theory of some of the marine en-
gineers that great size, with proper
tionately large keels, will serve prac-
tically to overcome, what has been
the chief discomfort of ocean travel,
the rolling Of the ship. One of the
passengers informed the writer that
there was scarcely any rolling motion,
and that not once during the entire
trip was it necessary to use racks to
protect the dishes upon the dining
table. Some allowance, however,
must be made for the fact there were
no storms, or even strong winds up
on this passage.
The earning capacity of this gigan-
tic vessel is yet to be demonstrated.
Her owners did not care to bring
over or to take back a heavy cargo
upon the first trip. If the Celtic
demonstrates that the greatest profit
is to be found in a comparatively
slow steamship, the Celtic being in
tended to make the passage in about
seven days, with an enormous
cargo capacity, then, in all proba-
bilitY, that will become the preva-
lent type, excepting that some of
the lines will build a few very fast
ships for passengers who can afford
to pay high rates and for freight
that viii bear heavy traffic charge.
What would happen were the Celtic
to meet with accident here involv-
ing dry docking, must have been a
serious question for her owners.
There is nothing in the vicinity of
New York which could receive her,
and it is doubtful whether there is
any dry dock on the American coast
that can float her.-Philadelphia

while They Talk We Do Business.

The astronomers at the Court of
Spain in the fifteenth century proved
quite to their own satisfaction, first,
that the earth was not round, and
secondly, that, if it were, Columbus
could not sail around it or even half
way around it. But even while they
were proving this, Columbus went
ahead and did sail half way around
and discovered a new world. The
Free-Trade press proves daily to its
own satisfaction that we can never
have an export worthy of the name;
that we cannot sell our goods to other
countries so long as we maintain our
Protective Tariff system and refuse
to let the rest of the world come in
and monopolize our home market;
and while they talk we go on selling
our goods to other countries to the
extent of more than a million dollars
worth a month. There is nothing in
any way remarkable about this di-
vergence between the facts and the
claims of the Free-Traders. We
have grown very familiar with Free
Traders. We have grown very fam
iliar with Free-Trade arguments and
Free-Trade theories, which conform
to everything but facts. Ifthe Free
Traders undertook to conform their
theories TO facts, there wouldn't
be any Free-Traders, and we would
be deprived Of some very interesting
fiction. So, perhaps, things are all
right as they are, especially as most
of the people of the United States are
too much occupied with the business
which they owe to our Protective
policy to pay much attention to what
the Free-Traders are saying.

Laughter and Long Life.

It may be that some enthusiastic
and lRborious German statistician
has already accumulated figures
bearing upon the question Of length
of life and its relation to the enjoy
ment thereof if so we are unac-
quainted with his results and yet
have very decided notion that
people who enjoy life, cheerful peo-
pie, are also those to whom longest
life is given Commonplace though
this sounds, there is no truth more
commonly ignored in actual every
day existence "Oh, yes. of course,
worry shortens life and the content
ed people live to be old, we are all
ready to say, and yet how many
recognize the duty of cheerfulness? s?
Most persons will declare that if a
man is not cheerful he cannot make
himself so. Yet this is far from
being the case, and there is many a
man who is at present a weary bur.
den to his relatives, miserable
through the carking care of some
bodily ailment, perhaps, or some
worldly misfortune, who, if he had
grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under all circumstances
was one of the first duties of life.
might still see a pleasant enough
world around him. Thackeray
truly remarked that the world is
for each of us much as we show
ourselves to the world. If we face
it with a CHEEKY acceptance we find
the world fairly full of cheerful
people glad to see us. If we snarl
at it and abuse it we may be sure of
abuse in return. The discontented
worries of a morose person may
very likely shorten his days, and
the general justice of natures ar
rangement provides that his early
departure should entail no long re-
grets. On the other hand man
who can laugh keeps his health and
his friends are glad to keep him. To
the perfectly healthy laughter comes
often. Too commonly, though, as
childhood is left behind the habit
fails, and a half-smile is the best
that visits the thought-lined mouth
of a modern man or woman. Peo-
pie become more and more burden
ed with the accommodations of
knowledge and with the weighing
responsibilities of life, but they
should still spare time to laugh.
Let them never forget, moreover,
and let it be a medical mans prac-
tice TO remind them that "a smile
sits ever serene upon the face of
Wisdom. "-London Lancet
