The Century's AssassinatiOns.

many eminent men and one wo.

q DAMAGES" FOR HEATHER GODS.

/ Expansion now presents the Great
Republic with another intricate moral
/ question. Hawaii Is theoretically a
Christian State though the vast major
ity Of its inhabitants are pagans who
are contributing greatly to our welfare.
According to Chancellor Kent, the noted
law writer, the principles of Christian
ity are silently incorporated into our
Constitution and laws. These positively
forbid the worship of any "other gods"
Heather gods, therefore. are not en-
titled to legal protection, nor can they
have any pecuniary value in a Chris
tian state.
But this community is suddenly called
upon to pay damages for the loss of an
assortment of Asiatic idols destroyed
in the late official conflagration. What
should be the attitude of the COM
munity towards such an extraordinary
i claim? 1t Is a novel question in our
Jurisprudence. 1t Is the law of the land
that no recovery can be had in the
courts or elsewhere for injuries suffered
in unlawful practices. or for the loss of
articles used for immoral purposes. A
burglar cannot recover damages for the
loss of the skeleton keys which he uses
in house-opening.
Freedom of worship which is guaran-
teed by the Constitution does not per-
nit the Offering 90 human sacrifices or
promiscuous polytheism IL the Ten
Commandments are a part of our COM
mon law. The worshipping of idols is
called "heathenism" and that is rite
which Anglo-Saxon civilization regards
with the same hatred that the New
England farmer regards "skunks under
the barn"
We must look, therefore. with sus-
picion on attempts TO obtain damages
for the loss of heather gods. for 1t
| tends to impair the purity of our noble
Jurisprudence. Governor Dole and the
entire community have permitted our
fair Islands 10 be overrun with these
/ alien and iuOcuous deities after the

+, looks like compromise with the
Devil.
This is. however. a practical matter,
ard the, good DR.. Benjamin Franklin
has furnished an excellent example Of
q way OF meeting the issue. During
the Colonial period. the Quakers of
PENNSYLVANIA refused TO fight or aid in
carrying on wars, and in the Colonial
Assembly they refused to vote for mill
tary supplies. When the Indians at
tackled their brethren on the frontier,
they were in great distress on account
OF these principles. DR.. Franklin sug-
gestej that they should vote for flour,
shoes and grains" and supplies. "

supplies" to mean ammunition gem

THE ACORN'S LEAVES.

One of the elements which entered
into the fight against Tammany in New
York, was the combination of business
men, those whose daily tasks separate
them from ordinary political endeavor,
to secure the election of Low and
Jerome. There was a great organiza-
ton formed, the name being the
"Acorns,'' and from the little seed grew
great oaks OF strength for the support
of the fusion ticket.
Mark Twain was one of the acorns
who did valiant service in the cam
paign, and he added to the seriousness
of the struggle against the boss. the
element of his finished wit and the
weight of his cogent arguments which
sank all the deeper for the lightness of
touch. with which he gave them color.
He it was who gave the name "Crok-
eritis" to the disease which he said was
troubling the body polite of the
Metropolis, and he always introduced
DIR" Seth Low, as the man who would
cure the Ill.
Illustrative Of that many sided humor
which robs a campaign in the United
States of the dullness which might be
expected where there are so many
fights, and many of them so hard, is
the following song Of chant of the
Acorns, which always was sung when a
meeting OF the members of the order
was held:
When our Acorns grow to tall oaks OF
the forest,
We shall shed our leaves as ballots IN
the fall,
We shall bury vice and crime.
We shall do II every time.
We are Acorns, all for one and one for
all.

CHINESE MAKE PRETENSES.

AS the Developments in China crowd
upon each other there is a greater
amount of evidence adduced that the
punitive expeditions of the allies have
failed OF Their purpose. They have been
so twisted in the handling by the acute
Manchus that even in the defeat OF the
plans of the Empress Dowager she has
strengthened her hold upon the beliefs
and imaginations of the people. This
Is true IN the matter of the return of
the court TO Picking.
In explanation of the flight of the
court the Chinese now believe that it
was all part of the regular course Of
investigation which was inaugurated by
the first Emperor of the Chin dynasty.
The alleged tour Of the Yellow river
districts Is thus said to have been made
as q result OF the disorders in the north
OF the empire. Again there IS the in
terdiction Of the Examinations at Pc
king for Ave years. which is explained
away in as ingenious a manner. The
Dowager says that as the Examination
halls were destroyed, she Is consider
ing a plan for. the holding of the ex-
an.ina;Ions in some other province
Through all there is the same note OF
confidence that has been a distinguish
ing feature of the words OF the queen.
Meanwhile the rOydi city mas Dteh

Dowager and her ward. the Emperor.

the Chem Men tower at the gate to the
city through which the royal process

destructiep wrought by the lombard
rnent being hidden by new construction
Of wood and cloth. The people. the
court and the foreign representatives
will not be fooled by the painted imita-
ton OF the. massive walls. but with
generations OF such pretenses as prece-
dents, the court will believe that In
this poor way all doubt OF the superior
ity OF the Chinese over the foreign
devils IS wiped out.
AS long as such receptions do not
affect the relations OF China with the
rest Of the world II Is no business of
the powers to interfere. But II, through
this and other similar means. the court
should impress the crowd with the no
ton that China has triumphed in diplo-
macy over the western world, trouble
may be developed thereby
