CAPT. n. H. HALL, of the L. s.
marine corps. who was reported by
U. 5. Minister Conger for alleged
cowardice IN the defense Of the
legations at Pekin, has not only
been exonerated by the conrt
martial, but has also been honored
by the war department issuing an
order that he be breveted mayor
from August IA, 1900, ''for di>tin-
gulshed conduct in the presence of
the enemy at the siege OF Pekin
from the Doth Of June to 20th
OF August, 1900" This is vindica-
ton sufficient to recompeuse Capt.
Hall for any discontinue he may
have suffered while resting under
Minister Conger's unjust accusa-
ton, which, by the way, is said to
have been the result Of spite to
wards the young officer on the part
of one Of the ladies Of Minister
Conger's household Capt Hall
is a Texas boy, and the people Of
this state rejoice greatly at his
vindication, and also at the dis
tiuction won by him. The state
would have felt shamed indeed,
had one of her sous displayed
cOwardice in Capt. Halls position.

The San Antonio Express reports
some remarks by one of a number
of newspaper men the subject of
the influence of hot weather in
causing bloodshed, from which the
conclusion is drawn that excessive
heat tends to largely increase viO-
lent crimes. The speaker concluded
with the following remarks:
$50 we'll is this rule that ex-
tremely hot weather causes blood
shed known to those who have to
come in contact with crime, that in
many cities the police authorities
issue warnings to the people to take
every precautiOn to keep out of dis
putes and embodiment and to re-
frain from going to places where
trouble is likely to break out. 1t is
very hard to keep from worrying
during hot weather. The best
tempered man will become irritable
and peeviSh after a long period of
hot weather. He may never be in
volved in tragedy, but that is his
good furtune. On the other hand
he may fora moment lose control
of himself under provocafiOn and
the strain of nervous tension and
commit an act which he will regret
all the remainder of his life For
this reason the advice to avoid dis
mites aud run from annOyances
during hot weather is good to
follow.
The advice is good, but it should
be supplemented with an admoni-
ton to avoid all heating foods and
beverages during hot weather.
There are certain foods and drinks
which undoubtedly tend to heat the
blood, while others are known to
have the contrary effect. 1t Is
probably true in every instance OF
the killings referred to in the con
yersation published by the Express,
that the person or persons who did
the shooting, or at least those who
hogan it, had been drinking strong
liquor, aud doubtless we're accuS-
toned to eating much meat and
other rich foods. Such indulgence
would aggravate the superheated
condition of the blood due to the
heat of the atmosphere Had those
men over in Houston taken iced
lemonade in the saloon they just
before the tragedy, probably thsre
rould have been no blood shed in
the subsequent encounter.

SOME TREASURY FIGURES.

During the calendar year 1900 the ex-
cess of imports of gold amounted to
only s12,603, 402 Notwithstanding a pre-
ponderance of exports in merchandise
and silver-the latter at, coinage value
of more than s675. 900 900. What has be-
come of this immense margin of appar-
ent gain, assuming the Treasury fig
ures to reflect accurately the course of
international trade? Additional favor
able balances for two years previous to
1900 Increase this elusive account to
nearly 81, 700, 000, 000-s550, 900, coo a year.
As offset credits to foreign nations
there must be set down interest due on
American investments, credits to trav-
elers, freight charges on imports, out
ward steamship fares and underyalua-
tions-an annual total estimated at
from $500, 600, 600 to s250.000.000. This
sum Is reduced by the amounts brought
over by immigrants. spent here by for
eign vessels and earned in foreign ports
by American vesse1s-probably S50,00O,-
600 in ALL The favorable balance, in
any event, could not be computed at
less than an average of 400,0Oo,000 for
three years past; yet so vast are our
financial relations with the rest of the
world that this huge gain to American
national resources has been reduced to
possession here without the slightest
disturbance in international exchanges.

ART IN HAWAII.

once upon a time ali artist came TO
Hawaii and set up his easel. He had
lots of paint and plenty of brushes. All
around him he saw pictures. The grass
hutS, With romantic natives in the fore
ground, the Chinese and Japanese girls
with babies on their backs, the palms
the ocean, the mountains-here was a
richness of color and outline he had not
seen elsewhere.
| He sang as he worked and thought of
how much the people would appreciate
his canvases. With the beautiful all
about them, with the song of the sea
| in their ears and the azure and emerald
of sky and hill always above and before
them, they could not but love art. So
reasoned the artist.
! He painted and painted and when he
had gathered about him types of the
strange and bewitching land and its
| striking and handsome people, he
sought to show his work. He told those
he met that on certain day he would
| hang his pictures for all to see. He
went to much trouble and when he
banged his thumb with hammer in
driving a nail, he did not say what
many men might have said, for he was
happy with the thought of success
/ Now for the People
| But the People did not come to his
studio. Other artists came and they
looked and told him they liked the pic
| lures. They seemed sad, these other
| painters, and the artist who expected
momentarily to welcome the rich men
and women at the door, warmed their
stomachS with what Paul recommend
ed The other artists did not remark
the absence of the People for they
knew.
| When the day and the visiting artists
were gone, the painter was sore per-
picked Maybe it was the heat So he
waited until a cold spell and then again
he invited the People. This time none
/ came. Then the artist talked with
others of his craft and was made wise
He was told that in Hawaii those who
had money did not buy pictures of their
/ own fair Islands nor did they appreci-
ate art. 1t was whispered to him that
artists who had naught but their gem
lius to feed them grew very thin in Ha-

Now all this is true Hawaii and

DIR Felix Adler speaks the truth
when he says that a great many people
who are now vicious distrust reform
This distrust is one Of the many ele-
ments, passive or active, that have tc
be considered in any reasonable plan for
overthrowing the present municipal adj
ministratio of the city of New York.
There are very worthy persons who do
not understand the complexlty and
Imany-sidedness of civilization and So
| cial custom in this town and seek to
make their own views and habits the
standard. Now, unreasonable as it may
SEEM between wise and narrow restrlc-

thing that smacks of Blue Laws, the
people of New York will choose the side
| that is certain not to interfere with
what a majority of them regard as
their just measure of personal liberty.
Cranks and extremists of one kind or
another are sure to turn up in any re-
form movement and to brighten many
| persons who are equally in favor OF
good government.
IA saner and more moderate estimate
of all the difficulties in the way of i'm
proving the city government now OBJ
tains, we think: but the distrust OF
which Mr.. Adler speaks still exists and

at last reform is to come in sober
way, free from fanaticism and too
great expectations"

KING EDWARD VII.

The eyes of the world are today turn
ed on King Edward VII.
For the last two decades, in fact, the
world has watched the heir apparent
with interest increasing as the time
drew nearer when he should be called
upon to take UP the sceptre and assume
the title of England's King. The inter
est in Albert Edward was in great
measure of his own creating, for in his
princely days he walked not always
wisely His indiscretions We're a favor
ite argument of the Socialist party in
Great Britain and the anti-monarchists
delighted in predicting that in conse-
quence of his youthful follies, the time
for his accession to the throne, when it
should come, would be marked by gen.
eraI revolution. 1.-The people love Vic
toria and will acknowledge her Queen
during her lifetime. but they will
never permit the Prince of Wales to
succeed her: when the good Queen dies
England will cease to be a monarchy"
was the text of this class of reasoners.
The Queen is dead. Albert Edward is
King. The ceremony of the accession
passed off with the quiet pageantry
kefitting the attendant decease of Eng
deed England was never less menaced
with revolutionary fears than she is to-
day And rightly so.
Queen Victoria's mantle has fallen
upon broad shoulders. King Edward
VII is eminently fitted to succeed the
late Queen. and both by virtue of his
thorough public training and steadfast-
ness of character will doubtless acquit
WIZ oil y;
the illustrious memory of his departed
mother. King Edward has one great
advantage which will stand him in ex-
cellent stead in the troublous times
which may be. He has been educated
in the school of the world and that ed
ucation has given him qualities indis-
pensible to any monarch; tact. diplo-
macy, resourcefuiness, good judgment
and an unfailing presence of mind with
which is not unblended certain
amount of sangfroid. He possesses the
unbounded confidence of his subjects
and more especially that of the agri-
cultural portion of the population of
England. no small part of the whole.
He is an advanced agriculturist and
the foremost stock-raiser of his coun-
try, two attachments which promise
well for his country's continued excel
lence in the arts of peaGe.
King Edwards friends from hence
forth are not likely to be those of the
past. With Salisbury he is not on the
best of terms, but in Rosebery, whose
Intimate he is. he will find for a coun-
ciilor one of the brightest minds of
modern England.
With his colonial subjects the King
is as popular as In his home domains
his wholesomeness and sportsmanlike
traits appeal strongly to the strenuous
lives fostered on the edges of the en-
pire. BY those he will be greeted as a
brother and friend and it is not too
much to say that the return of kingly
days to Great Britain presages a firmer
concentration of that vast empire over
which waves the Union Jack.
