LiliuokaIani left here for the East
accompanied only by Aea and her
two young women proteges. She was
advised by Colonel Macfarlane. her
friend and business representative
here. To stay in New York at the Muir
ray Hill Hotel, a first-class but quiet
establishment where her personality
is known, and where her comfort
would have been cared for.
En- route she was persuaded TO seek
the Waldorf Astoria, the mammoth
hosiery which is the Mecca OF Ameri-
can plutocracy and gourmandism.
Now the Waldorf is the resort Of the
rich and pretentious. and its doors
would have gaped wide to receive a

presence in the big house would have
been rare drawing card.

Aea did not vouchsafe the informs-
tfon that the regal-looking lady with
him was the noted former queen OF
Hawaii. or the hotel clerks would have
fallen over themselves 70 serve her.
Z But thinking she was merely a dark
skinned opera star. they haughtily told
Aea that the hotel was full. much as
Camarinos would refuse TO pun a cork
or fry steak for a pake.
! The Queen naturally thought the in
! suit was intentional, and the party left
: in high dudgeon. The stupidity of Aea,
due to his inexperience in acting as
courier TO a queen in a republic. was
responsible for an untoward incident
which. while arousing anger in many
ifair-minded people, yet can serve in no
way 10 incense native Hawaiians
against the haoIe in general.
Undoubtedly the matter will be seen
in this light by all who consider it

Our Ex-PreSfdentS,

In q speech at Indianapolis last evening
ex-President Harrison made a suggestion
that should not be taken too seriously. He
said:
1.-THE decapitation of the ex-President
when the oath of office has been admins
tered to his successor would greatly vtvify
a somewhat tireSome ceremonial. And We
may some time solve the newspaper prob
lem what to do with our ex-Presidents in
that conclusive way. Until then 1 hope an
ex-President may be permitted to live some
where midway between the house of gossip
and the crypt of the mummy
Now 1t is true that many people and many
newspapers have worried themselves over
the problem of what should be done with
our ex-Presidents. They have troubled
themselves needessly. The two ex-Presi-
dents that we now have left to us seem to
have settled the matter to their own salts
faction and in ways at which few can cavil.
They have both lived dignif1ed lives, and
while each may feel that he has not been
let sufficiently alone by gossip, neither can
be said to have taken up a permanent
abode In the crypt of the mummy. They
are both very much alive, honored and re-
spected citizens Then, too, it is not easy
to tell how long man may remain an ex.
Mr.. Cleveland had the title for four years
and then dropped it. So If he had really
been decapitated at the end of his first
term the history of the country would have
been entirely different. If Mr.. Harrison
and Mr.. Cleveland had been formally sepa-
rated from their heads when they left the
presidential chair We would have missed
some very good speeches from the one anG
the other would have missed some very
good fishing.

Judge Powers Peculiar Position.

From the Rutland Vt.) Evening News
Any DOUBT of the wisdom Of retiring
Judge H. Henry Powers from the position
of congressman from this district II such
has existed to any appreciate extent, must
certainly now be removed. On the floor or
Congress last week he declared that Wash
ington had too many parks His words
were: MY idea is that we have ten times
many parks as we need. l should like to
see public buildings put on these parks, in
stead of compelling the government to pay
big prices to private owners" This express
sion was brought out when the Pennsyl-
vania railroad bill was before Congress,
and an amendment being discussed to COM
pei the railroad company to move their sta
ton south of the mall one of the capitals
parks. The Vermont congressman was. as
usual, aligned on the railroad side Of the
discussion.
Judge Powers has taken a very peculiar
attitude In his position quoted. The
beauty of the national capital is its parks.
They are the pride of the entire nation. The
gentleman from Vermont indicates that il
he had his way he would be the iconoclast
to destroy the everlasting beauty OF the city
of Washington by sacrificing nine out Of
every ten parks and beauty spots 1t now
has His position will meet with uniyer-
sal disapprobation Of she people of this
country who have visited Washington and
taken pride in It's magnificence and in the
handsome plan upon which it was laid out
by the early builders Of the republic and
the republics seat OF government.

his complete reputation by the people, In

According to cable advices the news
papers of London as a rule are taking a
very pessimistic view of things at the be-
ginning of the new century. After max
ing comparisons between conditions at the
beginning and end of the nineteenth CEN
fury they take the general ground that
only In the matter of scientific achieve
ments did the 10th century show any
marked and substantial progress.
Conditions in England just now. 1t IS
true. are not such as TO conduce to opti
Tnism. The old year went out in gloom.
With storms and flood and suffering at
home and serious troubles abroad 1t Is
hardly to be expected that the newspapers
would reflect a cheerful view of things in
general. But they go too far when they
claim that only in the realm Of scientific
achievement has the world made sub
stantial progress during the past hundred
years.
The world IS growing better There are
many people who do not think and who
invariably bark back to the good old days
Of long ago. They speak of the degen-
aracy of the times. They point to sore
spot here and there on the body polite
and say that all is disease and decay.
There are people so narrow themselves
But any sane-minded man who Is not dys-
peptic and who looks the world over as 1t
8 today cannot avoid seeing improvements
in every line of life.
To merely sum up the material advances

Spouse as the plague and famine In India?
There was no such outpouring Of the wealth
of the people after the great IRE OF London
as followed the disaster at Galveston. These
are but straws, It Is true, but they are
straws which show the way the wind is
blowing. When men rush nobly forth to.
the aid Of other men it does not suggest
that they are degenerate.
Man Is more considerable OF man today
than he was ever before. The development
Of the republican spirit the world over Is
both a cause and an effect. Men realize
that other men have rights that they are
bound to respect. There are more real
gentlemen today, in the true meaning of
the word, than there ever were before.
Lord Chesterfield has been held up to us
as an ideal. yet DR.. Samuel johnson has
written him down as cad. The minister
who created sensation last summer by his
statement that the country is looking to

than it was a hundred years ago. Human
nature is still human nature and man is
long way from perfection yet, but offences
were condoned on the part OF the we'll
born and the well-to-do century ago that
would bar a man from decent society today.
Drunkenness is no longer the fashion, nor
is 1t considered clever thing for young
men to acquire the reputation of rakes
while sowing their wild oats.
No one thing shows the height or depth
to which a people has reached than does
the status of its women. If this be true,
and it can hardly be gainsaid, then the
civilized world never reached before the
high standard that marks the beginning of
the new century. While women have not
all that some of them would like, yet
woman holds a place in the world today
that is far beyond the widest dreams OF
our great-grandmothers.
In the world of religion, while there are
differences of opinion as well as differences
of method. still bigotry is giving away to
for one another's views and there is to-
day a noble spirit at work that is gradually
wearing away the walls that divide.
Perfection is not yet, and the n..4enium
the world is not making real and substan
tai progress as it grows older does not read
the signs OF the times Alright.

Washington and Lafayette. Statue.

Washington nnd Lafayettes Statuc.
Chicago is making an effort to secure for
that city the replica of the Lafayette
statue which was given to Paris, and in
augurated in that city last summer AT
least her West Park board has passed a
resolution offering any site in it's grounds
that may be chosen for that purpose by the
statue commission. This action is strictly
in keeping with the well-known enterprise
of Chicago. but it can scarcely be possible
that 1t will bear the desired fruit. WASH
ington is the natural and proper place for
this monument as must be admitted py
every fair minded and patriotic citizen
when the facts in relation to 1t are UNDER
stood 1t will be remembered that the
statue executed for and presented to Paris
was paid for by contributions raised by
the school children in all parts of the
United States. The fund thus produced
was so large that not only were the artists
who designed and made the statue munlh-
Gently compensated for their OUTLAWS ana
labors, but there remained an excess sum-
Client to provide a replica or duplicate, ana
to this purpose it is now proposed to de-
vote the balance on hand. Under these cir
cumstances it is manifest that the national
capital is not only the most appropriate
place for the statue, but the only logical
location. There is no argument in favor OF
placing it in Chicago that could not be APP
piled with equal force in behalf of any
other city in the country. On the other
hand, every consideration of propriety can
be urged in favor of Washington, and 1t Is
quite safe to say that If the patriotic chill
fren who contributed the money to pay for
the monument had the opportunity to ex-
press their sentiments on the subject their
vote in favor of the national capital as its
abiding place would be practically unanl-
nous, and furthermore. that this choice
would be confirmed by the voice Of the
country at large.
