This week at st. Louis will be n long
- wa
remembered one in theannals of that
city, marked by theformal dedication
OF the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
ton, which will perhaps excel any
similar exposition OF it's kind. and
which will draw to this country a dis
play OF the worlds resources. 1t is
sale to predict that in a competitive
hight our own country will equal. if
not surpass, in its exhibition of in
dustrial resources, mining and agri-
cultural products, that of any foreign
nation. St Louis is a model city for
such an exhibition.

The doctrine of perfection-that is,
that perfection can be attained-had as
many adherents as opponents few
years ago. That man should be able
through his diligence and perseverance,
to attain that degree of absolute salts
faction which preclaims him to be on
the top rung of Life's ladder of trials,
seemed impossible, beyond the fondest
hopes. To aim for the high ideal, to
strive for the best, to win fame by the
application of the noblest motives, has
ever been deemed a mans duty and
though, through seas of troubles, disap-
pointments and seeming failures man
struggles on, success must inevitably
come to him who applies his best to
life.

GRATIFYING INCONSEOUENCE.

No news is some times good news
This certainly applies to the present
session of Congress. No action is good
action, at least, so far as Hawaii is
concerned. Judging from the late adj
vices from Washington, there is little
prospect of Congress being able to take
up either the leprosy or land bills
which are directed at the Hawaiian
Islands w. o. Smith therefore finds
his trip very much like the famous
march of the King Of France who with
ten thousand men marched up the hill
and then marched down again. How
ever there is no reflection intended
against either Mr. Smith, or the COM
mercial bodies that responded so
promptly in sending him to the ma
tiOnal capitol to resist the enactment
of measures that are not for the best
interests of the Territory.
1t is not always a pleasant awaken
ing to realize that one is not after all,
of so much Importance as he had sup
posed. Hawaii can certainly congratd-
late herself that this is just about the
position in which she is at the present
time Congress is too busy with great
er and more momentous affairs to have
time to devote to the consideration of
three measures which are not for the
best interests of this Territory. 1t IL
very well that she is.
The Cuban treaty and the national
lazaretto and land laws measures are
measures which will beyond any doubt
rebound to the injury of Hawaii There
is absolutely no prospect of either of
the Mitchell or the Burton measures
which directly apply to this Territory
ever reaching a second reading. The
deep and Granny nook of the pigeon
hole seems destined to bury them at
least until the next session of Congress.
Even with the strong influence of the
President back of the Cuban treaty
the prospects are that that measure
will fail of passage at this session Of
Congress. The national Legislators are
too busily engaged with various other
measures which are far more impor-
tant to the welfare of the general con-
