Case For Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury is the proper
forum, before which the action Of
Governor Carter in regard to Brown
and Chillingworth should be dealt
with. 1t is the plain duty of the
Grand Jury to summon the Govern
or and demand, that he presents to
them the report made to him by a
Pinkerton detective, and upon the
basis of which he took upon himself
to demand the resignation OF the
Sheriff. If in that report such irreg-
gularitiss in the police department
were brought to light, as could just
ify the Governors action, it is the
duty Of the Grand Jury to act, by q
rigid Investigation of the allegations
and charges in the report.

There is great good ground to be-

Mr. Carter cannot seriously mean,
that the President would violate all
traditions OF American policy by de.
flying citizens, who were intelligent
enough to be granted the franchise
at the volition OF the Washington
government. 1t was in the power
OF the Federal government to have
disfranc hised every soul in the "ab-
sorbed" islands of Hawaii, and if
that had been done, and we had
been treated like Alaska then Garter
or any other governor the President
might have chosen to appoint, could
have snapped his fingers at the
voters here and said with justice:

sident: am not an issue

Such report, if true, would fur

the report, upon careful investi-
cation, can not be substsntiatsd by
evidence, or it should be found, that

should assist in sxonerating the late

home, Is far too warm for the stOve-heated
class room. and she is always liable to be
married in the midst of her studies.
In spite OF these handicaps she readily
acquires even the higher education and IS
almost painfully anxious to excel, often
overtaxing her frail body and bright eyes
IN studying the toggy flare of the andon
long alter her elders are asleep. Her
own language by itself presents a fair field
for her industry, for in ordinary reading
and writing at least 1900 characters are
used, and scholars, owing to the admix-
ture OF Chinese, must master twice as
many.
Book learning is not the only task to
which the maiden is assigned. So careful
and elaborate are her etiquet lessons that
there is no possibility of her being unpre-
pared for emergencies, for she has entire
| seltpossession through thorough knowl-
edge of how to act on all occasions--im-
portant or trivial-together with habitual
politeness and charm.
Much attention is still given to the
making OF tea, and in the serving of cere-
monial tea. The reduced gentlewoman in
structs in these dainty arts, but her les
sons are growing unpopular and girls are
too engrossed in sterner studies to pay
hearty attention to the minute exactments
of old japanese formalities. Boys schools
have already discarded her counsels of
perfection and probably in few genera
tions middle-class girls will make their
salutations and their tea minus the ex-
quisite politeness of the Honorable Madam
Etiquet.
Music is always taught by women or
blind persons. Aristocratic maidens learn
the biwa Qyre) or koto (harp), and mid
dle-class girls the namisen, or guitar.
Dancing is a profession. not a pleasure,
but painting is taught with true japanese
conventionality. The master arrives.
squats on the talaine (mats). and begins
to draw either from a model or his inner
consciousness. His pupils, squatting around
him. watch intently his firm, dashing
strokes When his sketch is complete
they endeavor to copy his production, and
not until a like effect in the same num-
Der of strokes has been obtained, and can
be reproduced from memory, may they
proceed to another subject. In this the
charming conventionality of Japan is cas-
lily traced, although its results are not in
variably happy, as when Hokusai painted
that fabulously impossible so-called horse,
which all japanese artists reverently copy
today, not because they think it like a
horse, but because Hokusa was considered
such a good painter of horses On holt
days, which are as common, luckily in the
Japanese calendar as saints days in ours,
the students march in gay professions,
carrying branches of blossoms and ban
ners to the parks, there to play games
