EYP4 NSIYE.

There is some large and expansive talk nowadays. For instance Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, opened his mouth and epake as follows at the ban quet of the Silk Association in New York: But in this splendid future of ours we are not to be limited even by the sacred traditions of the fathers. Even our Constitution, written in the twilight and by the candlelight of the eighteenth century, will be construed and interpreted, and applied, and amended, if necessary, in the electric splendor of a twentieth century of civ ilization.
 True, but there is such a thing as holding fast to that which is good, and not being entirely unlimited.

ings you enjoy. You have good libra ry a fine museum, frequent visits from good lecturers and a charming society, all of which we lack here. The only thing delightful here is the climate. The roads are bad, the crops often fail, the people are very illterate. it is hard to get food, there is no such thing as labor to be hired, and there are fre- quent occurrences of epidemics of ty- phoid fever, etc We lost number of men. Every native has his ranch cul- tivates his own corn, sweet potatoes,
 rtobacco, and has no time to work for anybody else. The climate is such that rice and sugar could be cultivated, but suitable land is scarce and labor is lack ing for these industries Coffee grows everywhere. ."-Hawaiian Star

FEW FLOWERS IN GUAM.
The People Prefer Things They Can !, Eat.

The People Prefer Things They Car Eat.
 Lieutenant w E. Stafford, U. s. N
 in acknowledging the receipt from Pres
 ident Charles N. Wright of quantity
 of seeds and useful plants sent to Guam
 writes Interestingly as follows of life j and conditions thsre. Lieutenant Saf- ford is scientist of rare attainments a fact which makes his observations of more value:
 The natives of this island in general show little appreciation for flowers. | They never make leis nor wear the | flowers in any way. Only three or four
 in the entire city of Agana have flower
 gardens, and they are laid out in hap
 hazard manner. They cannot under
 stand why anybody wants to plant any thing which is not edlble or which does
 not furnish some useful product Mr.
 Haughs has sent some fine things
 among which are number of ornament | tai palms. The natives cannot under stand what we can want with them. l There is village of Caroline Islanders | here. These people always wear flow CTS in their hair, and remind me some what of the Samoans. The ether day
 a species of Alyxia (maile) was brought to me l was delighted for, although it is of a different species from the Ha- waiian and Samoan maile, yet it has the same fragrance, and the glossy green leaves. I said; How the Hawaiians love maie Why is it that you people do not love to wear fowers?' One of 
 ges like the Carolinos? The next thing you will be expecting us to be making great holes in the lobes of our ears, like them so as to carry beads and weeds stuck through them.
 T bought little place, which in- cludes a nice lot This I have been pre- pairing for garden, but I have heard indirectly that we are all to be detached soon, who came here originally with the late governor, so my interesting work is horticulture, which will, I fear, have to be suspended. I hsall put your seed however, in good hands. There is a gentleman here, formerly a captain in the Spanish army, who. having married here preferred to resign and settle down in the island. He has farm, and IS luleIGSlGu III lllG llllIOUuCllOll Ol uEW plants and birds.
 T am glad to say there is no lautana in the island, but the guavas have over | spread vast areas, and there is dwarf | orange (Triphasia auranteila) which, though beautiful for hedges has made | dense thickets in places. It has flowers as fragrant as our trailing arbutus at home, and berries of bright red color, and the flavor of Curacao liqueur The | hau, hamaniiusa, dulois, iIonWood and | several other trees of Hawaii are con- mon here, but there is no koa, only one tree of kukui Introduced from the Phil ippnes), and only the monkey pods we brought from Honolulu. I have been planting some seed I got from MT. Iaughs, and 1 hope there will be some body to succeed me who will interest himself in the propagation of good and useful things on the island.

TWO VARS, TWO PEACE P4RTIES. It is interesting to notice that while l both England and this country have
 foreign war on hand there is peace
 party in each country. The Filipinos 1 have warm, not to say heated, friends here and the Boers have fervent friends l in England. For instance, Sir Edward
 Clarke, formerly Solicitor-General of
 Great Britain, and a conservative in politics, appeals to the British govern
 ment to make peace with the Beers on terms which will not be dishonorable to the brave burghers. Tn his opinion
 Lord Roberts lost golden opportunity
 to propose peace terms seven months ago, when General Butler had prepared the way by conferences with one of the Roer leaders, General Botha. The lat-. ter then asked what conditions the Brit
 ish government would offer, and Lord
 Roberts demanded unconditional sur render" with no guarantees of protee-
 ton for the Boer commanderS or for any who had taken an active part in
 bringing on the war. Since then the war has cost Great Britain the lives of 124 officers and 1,454 men killed in &C., tion and died of wounds and of 63 off, cers and 3.620 men who died of disease. From $3OO,OOO,0 900 to $35O,oO0, ,OoO has been expended since then in an unsuccessful effort to subjugate the Boers and, as Sir Edward Clarke puts it, i've do not seem day nearer unconditional sur render than seven months ago." Sir Edward urges peace with honor.
 Gentlemen may cry peace, peace but even if it may be wrong for the Eng fish to internationally beat the Boers it | is, of course, right for us to benevolent ly lick the Filipinos.

CONGRESSMAN BABCOCK,S BILL.

CONGRESSMAN BABCOCK,s BILL.
 That is an interesting move by Con-
 gressman Babcock of Wisconsin, who | has introduced bill to repeal all du- l ties on iron and steel and their pro-
 ducts, except few specialties of a
 highly finished character. MT. Babcock is Chairman of the Republican Congress sional Committee and member of the
 Committee of Ways and Means. He has been moved to take this step by the billion dollar" deal, and he believes his bill will receive the support of nine tenths of the members of the house, al- though he doesn't expect that it will pass at this session He says: My bill does not touch raw iron ore, nor does it touch manufactured goods in which the labor is the greater part of the product. It takes the duty off items in schedule c of the Dingley tariff act, such as structural iron, steel billets, steel rails and wire rods. The tariffs on most of these articles have been changed from time to time to foster and build up infant industries. These in fant industries have become now one of the most colossal combinations in the country. This legislation is directly in line with Republican efforts to control trusts at the last session of congress, and has the endorsement of members of the National Republican Committee
 It isn't necessary to become enthusi- astic over this bill It is hard to tell just what it means or what good it would do if it should become a law

The English railroads make poor re- turns for the last half of last year. One cause has been the high price of coal, which has increased operating expenses materially and affected manufacturing industry adversely to the reduction of railway earnings. But aside from the price of coal and ffom other causes there has been noticeable decrease in trade activity and volume within the past six or eight months.

Another member told of the struggle he had to persuade one out of bevy of fifteen of these clerks to do little work for him on a typewriter.

The experience of many churches with the Endeavor societies, says the Christian Intelligencer proves the possibility of breach between the so- ciety and the church, despite the pledge and the avowed aim of the society to be a helper in all the work of the church The tendency to put the socie- ty first and regard it's meetings and methods superior in value and import ance to the regular services is natural, and when the leaven of pride and youthful confidence is injected the rightful relation of church and society is reversed, friction ensues and injury rather than benefit is the result The very obligation to take some part in the meetings may become a snare, since it may lead to saying and doing what ought to be, rather than what is, felt A further danger lies in the preponder- ance of girls over boys, of women over men in the membership, a condition which has called for and led to the or, ganization of societies for men. and q still further lowering of male member ship in the Christian Endeavor socie. ties.''
