Hawaiian Matters.
j. +. BOpWELL.
Secretary.

In his message to the Hawaiian
Legislature, Governor Dole touches up
on many matters of Importance to the
territory and shows the gratifying
progress which has been made in the
Americanization of this fair island
possession in the Pacific. One point
OF special interest is the statement
that leprosy is much on the decrease
in the islands. He gives carefully
compiled tables to prove this and to
show the beneficial results OF the pol
admissions to the leper settlement has
steadily decreased since 1883, and it is
vigorously denied that this falling off
is due to any failure of the authorities
to round up all the lepers. That lep-
rosy is on the decrease in Hawaii is
pleasing information, and will con-
fuse those opponents of annexation
who declared that we were annexing
only leper colony which would prove
NtSt
Governor Dole is an enemy of the
saloons and he urges that they be reg
ulated by local option With the women
given power to vote in the matter. He
is confident that this would result in
no license victories in most commu-
mites and thus promote the cause of
III. o.
nor Dole also urges the appointment
of Il commission to pass upon the
claims OF Great Britain for payment
of indemnity 10 its citizens who We're
damaged during the revolution of
1895. These ella inns. amounting to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, have
been pressed for seven years, and late
ly Great Britain has attempted to
collect the money through Secre-
are made by various British subjects,
who claimed to have suffered as a re-
suit Of the revolution of 1895, wherein
an attempt was made by the syn7pa
thizers of Queen Liliuokalani to regain
control OF her throne. Governor Dole
is anxious 10 have the matter settle.
One indication of the readiness with
which Hawaii is getting into Ameri-
can ways is the number of freak"
bills introduced into the territorial
legislature. Favorite bills are those
which exempt the natives from taxa
ton, by placing their property under
an exemption clause. Bills have been
introduced already for a repeal of all
taxes which might hit the natives, in
Guiding the income tax and the poll
tax. One man has introduced a bill
repeating all the laws pertaining to
!eprosy, another a bill permitting all
persons to treat ieprosy and a third Il
bill to prohibit PERSONS afflicted with
leprosy or tuberculosis from re-
training in the territory. Another
bill has been introduced providing for
Il pension for Queen Liliuokalani and
in the Senate there is bill to EN-
courage the cultivation of castor OIL

AUGUSTA Eospitslity,

The Augusta House gaictics are
passing and there will be only q few
more dances and card parties before
April /. A final assembly is being
planned for the last evening of the
session and it is hoped to make it a
brilliant send-of for the biennial So
cial outbreak which Augusta people
understand so we'll how to meet sue
cessfully. The winter has been q
lively one, and local society has quite
outdone itself in hospitality. No city
in the State has more beautiful homes,
or social figures of more interesting
kind. There is truly colonial free
heartedness and candor among the
people here which adds a most unusual
quality TO the entertaining and is out
OF al logical proportion to anything
seen in the other cities of the State.
Even Bangor. whose modest proper
tons and comparative isola ton have
bred very high degree of hospitality,
cannot hope to compete, and Portland's
rather agreeable conservatism places ii
in wholly different class. Having
been entertained in TIE homes of All
gusta. the honest observer must admit
that there are reasons to alleviate the
tragic fate which located the capital
here instead of in Portland.-Portland
Advertiser.
That is both an appreciative and an
appreciated paragraph. Its sincerity
is evident and Augusta modestly ac-
cepts the pleasing compliment and
hopes that it is deserved. II legis-
lative winter is a success socially. it
means that it is success in many
other respects, and a reputation for

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Not all men are bad, not all women
good
The greatest passion in the world is
vanity; the most powerful weapon
flattery.
There is no age at which a won1an's
heart will not melt to the man who
smiles upon her. =
Beware the man who approaches you
with the promise that he has come to
do you a favor.
1t is the little things that tell. A
man who is facing bankruptcy and dis
honor with a courageous smile will fly
into Mysteries when he can't get his
collar buttoned.
There will be some way of under
standing women when some one can
explain how a woman will think a mat
inee hero is like a god, and yet have
her. blood run cold at the thought of her
son being like him.-New York Press.

In spite of,-or possibly as result
of,-the active campaign waged in its
behalf, the cause of woman suffrage
met a crushing defeat in New Hamp-
shire, Tuesday. The proposed consti-
tutional amendment required a two
thirds vote but received less than one
third. 1t is evident that the ambition
of the suffragists to get a foothold in
New England is not to be realized at
present.

Not for long time has an utterance
by the President been so universally
commended as President Roosevelt's
letter explaining his policy of negro
appointments. Not only has it been
unanimously endorsed by the Republic
can press of the country, but nearly all
the leading papers of the opposition
party have had word of praise for it.
Its fairness and frankness, and the
common serse spirit in which it was
penned, have made even the Southern
newspapers admit that the President
is theoretically right" No doubt this
letter goes far to put the President on
a better footing with the people of the
South. 1t is another illustration of the
good results of the Presidents policy of
taking the public into his full conf
dence

hospitality is one that city may well
cherish and be proud of. The Jour-
nal hopes that the Advertiser voices
the general sentiment of the strangers
who have been within our gates, this
winter, that the social gatherings
which have been so numerous and en-
joyable will long remain a pleasant
spot in their memories, and that the
many new friendships formed will be
of the kind that endure.

mains were brought to China, Tuesday

membered by the older citizens OF

i young man and was postmaster ana
d merchant in that town. He was
sheriff of kennebec county from 1861
to 1867, residing during that period at
the Jail. AS a young man, ne mad

unitted to the bar. The deceased was
i gentleman of the old school, affable,

Cured during the past half century
and more, as well as being thoroughly
well acquainted with all the best lit

Prof. w. S. Bayley of Colby, has re-
Gently been appointed to secure sta
tistics relating to wells and water
resources in Maine. The United States
geological survey has begun the in
vestigation of water supply over q
large portion of the United States, but
it is only within the past few days that
it has included our State among the
list of these to- be studied. 1t is OBJ
viously impossible, on account of ex-
pense, for Prof. Bayley to visit all the
wells in Maine. For a large portion
OF the information he should have, in
order to make the investigation of any
value. he must depend in large meas
ure upon those citizens who possess
sufficient public spirit to provide him
with the names of well owners (es-
pecially owners of deep wells). of
those who utilize springs as sources of
water supply and of those who may at
any time have been interested in deep
borings, whether such borings pene-
trated water veins or not. He urges
those who may have in their possession
such information as is desired to send
their names at once to him at Water
vile.
