THE TRUE MISSIONARY SPIRIT.


nERTAIN Superintendent of the Buddhist:c
1 Union of Japan have addressed ito all priests
~ whatsoever" circular which treats of the
proper conduct of missionary enterprise IN
China. These learned priests recognize fully the
zeal and the heroism OF Christian missionaries in
China yet find also that to them is largely due Chi
nese hatred of the foreigner. This has come about
partly through inevitable MISUNDERSTANDING but
more through the association of the Christian mis-
sionaries with the representatives of their respec-
who clamor for ndemnities, and collect them
personally vi ct arms. that when Buddhist temple
was recently burnt in Annoy the Buddhists declined
to wiring their lawful damages from the people to
whom they wished to minister. These Buddhist
priests believe that the example is that their
Christian colleagues might follow TO advantage.
Since the distrst of the missionary in China comes
from his being regarded as the advance agent first
of the consul and then Of the general these Japan
csc scholars ADVISE. first that the Christian mission
aries take every pains stand aoof. from the consul
and the general second. that these missionaries
should be mindful to be in the position of oppos-
ing the secular customs and traditions OF the Chi
nese social order Should ii be said that such ORR
entail quietism is beyond the of Us strenuous
Occidentals il yet recalls strikngiy the spirit of
serve; and the conclusion is irresistible-the mis-
sionaries should go in this spirit to China or stay
away.

CERTAIN SALARIES COMPARED.

n ECAUSE The Republican has called attention 70
the extortionate salaries paid TO the Territorial
officials OF this Territory and notably the sal
airy paid the Attorney General the Morning Or
has 1T to speak Of the salaries paid the Cir
cult Judges and demanded to know xhythe Attorney
General should not be paid much, il more than
Circuit Judge For answer let contrast the saia-
ries paid Attorney Generals of number OF States
and Territories with the salaries paid in the same
State and Territories District Judges which cor
respond to the Circuit Judges in Hawaii:
The Honolulu republican. [volume] (Honolulu, T.H.) 1900-1902, 1901-03-10

1t viii thus be seen that the average salary of
the Attorney General in the seven States and Ter
rtories given is less than 81 700 year. while the
average salary of Circuit Judges in the seven
States and Territories is exactly $4,000 year. AT
this ratio If Hawaii continues to pay her Attorney
General the $4,000 per year recommended by Gov.
ernor Dole she should pay her Circuit Judges IS 0e0
per annum
We have not a particle of doubt that the legis
lature will conclude that the salary of $4,000 year
recommended by the Governor for the Attorney
General is entirely too much.

Since the Doctor holds these views

BIG f.-fC CFRST0N- OVER COTTON BELT TO LITTLE ROCK NEXT SUNDAY. Will Be Run Under Advancement of Mir. J. w. Hawley, Which h.
 sures Its Success.
BIG HCFRSION-

An innovation in the way of an ex- cursion that promises to be ia: above the ordinary affairs of it's kind will be afforded the people of Pine Bluff on Sunday, June 16.
 This excursion will leave Pine Bluff at s a. m. for Little Rock over the Cotton Belt. On arrival at Little Rock, the excursionists will fnd cleo. tric cars in waiting, which will take them for trolley ride over the en- tire city, without stop or transfer. This feature in itself is one that pos. sibly great many of the people here have never had the opportunity of enjoying.
 In the afternoon the eXcursionists will find attractions and amusen ents at all of the parks, which will be well worth attending These will consist of band concerts, athletic exercises etc, which will be free.
 In addition to this the promoter of this excursion has arranged for a se- feet program at the West-end Summer theater for the afternoon.
 Seldom has it been the fortune of Pine Bluff eXcursionists to have such elaborate and perfect arrangements made for their entertainment ani it is an assured fact that the trip will be an enjoyable one to all who take ad- vantage of it.
 Another feature of the trip, and a very essential one, is the fact that per. feet order will be maintained on the train. Arrangements have been made for six state officers to accompany this train on both trips to preserve order, and the promoter guarantees to all that nothing will be tolerated on board his train which would in any manner mar the pleasure of a single passen- ger. This excursion is being run by MT. J. W. HaWley, we'll known Pine Bluff boy, and the Graphic feels no hesitancy in saying that he may be relied upon to make this trip a success in every sense of the word. MT. flaw ley is an able and experienced rail- road man, and knows just what is needed to insure delightful trip, and for the trouble and expense he has incurred to make this excursion a success. he deserves thepatronage of every person who can make the trip.

His st.Years.

How much for thought may be found in one of the letters o1 Benedict Arnold traitor, written to Miss Scfol- lay just before his treason. 1:e had sent some more money and ind con- graduated the children on the prospect that the money from congress would be speedily forthcoming "A country,' said Arnold, should be ever grateful to the patriot who lays dowH his life in it's defense. Greater Ievt hath 20 man than this D
 What surging thoughts T, st have whelmed this mans brain as he wrote these words. The letter ws:s received just at the time that Arnold began negotiations with Clinton.
 School histories say that after the revolution Arnold passed all his time in England. He lived however. for a long period in St. John. New Bruns- wick. There he engaged in commer- cial pursuits, sending out trading ves- sels to the West Indias. His neigh. bors, though, as has been said, they were largely refugees who had stood by king and crown, gave Arnold to understand they did not like his com- pany. They hanged him in effigy once or twice, taking care that the efigy bore the word traitor in large let ters. One night Arnold's place of busi- ness burned. It was over heavily in- sured. The companies refused to pay openly charging that either Arnold or his son had acted the incendiary. The case went into the courts and the in- surance companies finally paid. Arn- old pocketed the money and left the town, the occasion of his leaving be- ing made one of tremendous rejoicing by the inhabitants throughout all the land.-Edward B. Clark in Chicago Times Herald

To Nero's Advantage.

When it is once said with truth that man is traitor to his country the damnation is deep enough to keep his contemporaries and following generation or two from any attempt to find anything that might redeem the traitors soul from utter blackness. Benedict Arnold's name is plotted out of the revolutionary roll of honor on the walls of the chapel at West Point On some monuments and on many q page of history Arnold's name ap- pears, but nowhere may it be seen separated from the title Traitor. The English who were to have profit ed by Arnold's treason, hated the traitor after he had joined their ranks British officers would hold no fellow ship with him, and his memory is exc crated in England today. The British loyalists who left the colonies at the outbreak of the revolutionary war and went their way to New Brunswick showed Arnold when he afterward went to dwell among them that they held him in nothing short of loathing Arnold has been likened unto Nero and Nero has gained by the compari- son. Nero merely fiddled as Rome went up into flames, while Arnold is pictured as smiling eXultantly at the burning under his orders of his birth place, and at the subsequent putting of many of the surrendered Americans to the sword. It is told that when New London and Groton were attaked and burned Arnold, commenting the attacking forces, had no word of re

OIL IN PIKE COUNTY.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Refused for
 Forty Acres of Land.

The Gil prospects in Pike county grow brighter as the days go by, and the development of the valuable prop erty will begin at once, says the Nash. vile News. Much land has been sold to the capitalists by the citizens in the section where the oil croppings are the most prominent, and options have been taken on much more real estate. There IS probably but one man in the oil belt who has not either sold his land or an option on same, and that man is Hon. J. P. Copeland. who has refused an offer of S5o.0a0 for tract of land on which he lives. con. sisting of forty acres. The prospects for oil are better in the section and the capitalists are anxious to secure 2ontrol of same
