COUNTERFEIT MIDWAY INFLUENCES.

It Ia welcome news that there Is now
at Buffalo an exhibit which. though
educational only, will be of use
in counteracting the effect of the dane
ing girls and taking mountebanks on
the Midway. There must be places Of
amusement IL an exposition would :,be
made popular and attract great atten-
ton. The Midway has become a larger
and larger element in the attractions
OF any fair, no matter what It's pro-
portions. That at Buffalo is by far the
most ambitious that has been proposed
by any exposition manager as yet,
The exposition Is placed where II holds
the center of the largest, most dense
population in the whole country and
out of the millions who will visit the
grounds during the summer 1t Is safe
to say ninety per cent will go to the

To the serious people who look care
fully into educational exhibits, that OF
Hawaii will appeal as one worthy OF
the highest class of schools. 1t Is COM
prehensive, and will indicate that the
system which produced it is as far adj
vanced as that of any State or Terri
tory OF the Union. Likewise In the per-
son OF the superintendent OF the ex-
hibit, the islands are fortunate in that
there will be no danger that any point

ord for itself as body of fearless men
fully capable of protecting their own
honor and of compelling integrity upon,
as well as decent treatment from the
bench.
Whether President Mckinley removes

will go down in Hawaiian history as
the first, and we pray he may be the
last. judge OF a court of record con-

Bar associations are, always conserv-
atfve bodies. They are composed of
men who do not easily take offense. of
men whose profession II is to give and
take hard knocks; with whom respect
for and Difference to the court becomes
second nature. The Bar Association
of Hawaii is no exception to the rule.
1t is body which has been used to re-
ceve courtesy from and to act with
Difference toward the court. II has
borne with Judge Humphreys until its
patience and it's confidence were ex-
hausted 1t would never, except upon
the strongest provocation and clearest
conviction that no other course was
open. have adopted the drastic resolu-
tons printed elsewhere.
The bare charges made, subscribed
as they are. by almost every prominent
attorney in the city, with the express
sions of earnest conviction of the truth
from nearly every speaker, based as
they are, almost entirely on public rec
ords, are more than sufficient to abso-

DECORATION DAY THOUGHTS.

| More than generation ago the vast
armies of the North and South disband-
ed after furrowing the land with graves
and filing 1t with flame and uproar.
Both the wearer of the blue and the
wearer of the gray had fought to settle
doubtful point in the organic law of
the common Union. 1t was one that the
courts could not determine. nor the pull
pit read in the same text, nor the peo-
pie agree upon in their debates. 1t
had to be settled by an appeal to that
tribunal of force which has been called
the last resort of Kings. The cause was
four years in the court of the God of
Battles, and in the end judgment, pro-
nounCed in the voice of cannon, de-
clared that the United States of Ameri-
ca is a nation, and not loose confed-
eracy.
Viewing the vast results can any
man who wore the gray regret the out
come? In the clear right of reason 1t
must now be seen that the success of
the Southern States would not only
have severed the Union, but eventually
have severed them. A power founded
on the principle of disunion-the vest
ed right of peaceable secession-could
not have lasted. At the first vital diff
ference between States they must have
tparted; and in the end there would
Ihave been. perhaps, eleven insignifi-
cant republics. below the Mason and
Dixon's line, perpetually at odds,
strong in hatreds and weak to satisfy
them. The Confederacy had head of
brass, a body Of wood and feet of clay;
and 1t stood upon the veriest quick
sands.
Today on both sides of the old line
of sectional hostiity--a line covered
from sight by the flowers of red and
white and blue-all men acclaim the
nation and feel common pride in it,
a common hopefulness for 1t. common
allegiance to 1t. And what a nation 1t
Is. Less than four generations have
been born under its flag; yet there Is
no power with a thousand years Of
growth behind it that would care to
meet It single-handed and alone. 1t is
In the sinews of war; the strongest ma
ton; before many years 1t will be the
most populous; its potential greatness
IL incalculable. What honor. therefore,
shall we deny the men whose valor
saved 1t to the immortal destiny which
1t is to have among the nations OF the
earth?
To-day we are to stand with the sur
yivors sfsthe Grand Army at the graves
OF those who have passed In the van to
the eternal camping ground. II will
be service OF reverence, as. well as
of patriotism No matter what were
the conditions or estate or the human
intlrmitles or these men, they helped
TO save the Union-and so. God rest
them in the peace they have earned,

falling.

him, the judge can still fall back on the
