TIE DARDANELLEs ISSUE.

When Russia asked permission OF
Turkey to send warships through the
Dardanelles, the Ottoman government
acted with its usual shrewdness. Tur-
key Is no friend of Russla's. her sym
pathy In this war is with the japanese.
At the same time she wants no quar-
rel with her powerful neighbor so in
answer to Russia's request she said
she was quite willing to let the Rus
sian warships pass If the other powers
that signed the Berlin treaty were.
This treaty prohibits Russia from
sending ships of war through the Oar
danelles, though merchant vessels are
allowed to pass. Having a large fleet
in the Black Sea, Russia would like to
dispatch some of her ships to the Far
East. OF the Berlin signatory powers,
France, Germany and Austro- Hun
gary are agreeable, but Great Britain
objects. Turkey was quite sure sne
would and so sits back complacently
while the British foreign Office in
forms Russia that the passage of the
Dardanelles by the Cars ships of war
would be incompatible with the in
terests of the British Empire"
Russia, foiled in her main purpose,
is now doing the next best thing in
sending her volunteer steamers
through a volunteer steamer Is
merchant steamer which may be easily
transformed into an armed commerce
destroyer or scout-the America Maru,
lately here being a boat of the same
sort in the Japanese service. 1t is re-
ported that a guardship has also made
the Dardanelles trip but if SO she
was probably unarmed. Obviously,
however. Russia's scheme is not of
peaceful character, for each of the
volunteer ships carries it's battery in
cargo as we'll as large consignments
of ammunition and military stores.
one may easily imagine the appear
ance of half dozen such vessels in
the Red Sea. releasing for duty further
on the cruisers which pass their time
intercepting merchantmen and exam
lining mails.
The next move is Great Britain's
and If the Dardanelles affair really
becomes acute n British fleet may seek
its old anchorage near Tenedos.

ISLAND ADVERTISING.

In advertising Hawaii in the mag
azines it would be a good plan to in
clude, in each presentment, a short and
catchy extract from the writings, favor
able to these islands, of some distin-
guished man. So far as we have seen,
Mark Twain's magnificent tribute has
not yet been printed in the magazines
though it is worth columns of self
laudation. The world knows Mark
Twain and respects his judgment in
matters of travel as in matters of
literature; but it does not know the
Hawaii Promotion Committee which
signs such pleasant testimonials to the
land it lives in and where it's interests
lie.
A little search will find a good many
such advertisements worth repeating.
suitable extract from Bishop Potter's
article on Hawaii in The Century and
from Miss Birds book and a dozen
other works of travel; here and there
a few lines of verse from such poems
as Waikiki" a paragraph from the
late r. Dewitt Talmage's Hawaiian
chapter of sightseeing, would answer a
fine purpose in impressing tourists by
outside testimony with the beauties
and opportunities of Hawaii-nei.
A good word from a respected out
slider about you is worth a hundred

Delegate Kuhio is right in saying
that man in his official position can
not do much in one term and that use
fulness must be gagged by longer SER
vice. A delegate or member is fresh
man in his first year in Congress,
whose chief business is to learn the
ropes. If he really undertakes to learn
them; if he attends strictly to business
and makes himself as useful as he can,
obtaining and keeping the personal
respect and confidence of his fellow
members, then he is certainly entitled
to reelection. BY these tests the
claims of the Delegate for re-nomina-
ton may be fairly judged. The friends
who say he can meet them are framing
a good argument for his further en-
ployment.

THE FEDERAL SENATE.

1t is amusing to see how the minor
Democratic organs figure out control of
the United States Senate, body in
which the Republicans now have
twenty-four majority. To get this prize
they set down any State that they
want as Democratic in its legislature.
California, which the influx of northern
settlers has made safely Republican, so
far as its law-making branch is con-
cerned, and generally Republican other
wise, Is counted n sure thing. SO is
Connecticut, a manufacturing State
which intends to keep itself protected
and which the Democratic Legislative
ticket has no more chance of carrying
in a Senatorial year than 1t has the
back country of Vermont. Massachu-
sets, the Republican Gibraltar, which,
we believe, has not elected Il Democrat
to the Senate since the war, is also
on the sure thing list. OF doomed
Republican majorities' that of New
York-5l in joint sessions conspic
uous. Despite frequent Derhocratic
Governors it is hard to remember when
New York had a Democratic Leglsla-
ture; and for the enemy to get one in a
combined Presidential and Senatorial
year would require n miracle. Other
States figured for are Wisconsin, North
Dakota, Rhode Island, West Virginia
and Washington though if one of them
| goes Democratic this year it will as
tonlsh the politicians of both parties.

The correspondents who went so

OF the treatment they received. Theirs

the chance they wanted to see troops

The other day We published an eX-
tract from q trade journal which
recommended the Guatemalan ant az
Il stand-off for the boil weevil. The
ant was to be brought to Texas. Now
comes Ross Clarke, Texan planter,
who says that he will apply for an
injunction to keep the insect out. He
says: ITO my mind 1t is dangerous to
transfer the South American insect
or pest to South Texas. One-half the
cotton is picked by negroes. who do
not wear enough clothes to make a
whole shirt, and the other half by
barefooted children, This ant, to be
of avail in destroying the weevil, must
cover the entire field and any one who
has had few of the native ants sting
him viii realize that 1t will be impos-
s.ble to get the cotton picked"

else are there so many men who cling
to silk hats of vintage and fashion an
tedating in many cases the Comstock
excitement" AS one of the six 90
citizens of Honolulu who expose plug
hats to the tropic sun, on other occa-
sions than masonic funerals and forays
from the executive chamber to board
warships, Mr.. Rhodes ought to be
connoisseur of that type of headpiece.

San Francisco now claims a popu-
latlon of 100000 people. The figures
are based upon the showing in the new
city directory. According to the Chron-
icle in this years directory there are
1877, 1G0 names, exclusive of business
houses. In 1900 the city directory con-
tanned 1876 names and the United
States decennial census of that year
gave that city a population of 342, 1872.
If there We're 1Sl,00 men and widows
there when the population was definitely
known to be 343, 600, then the committee
figures that now, with $4,000 names in
the directory there must be all of
1900 persons in the community. This
would mean that San Francisco has
been growing at the rate of about S4,-
900 year, or nearly 5000 a month, or
almost 100 a day.

ARE PIANOS DooMeD7

The Argonaut calls attention for the
second time to the fadt-lf it is a fact
that the piano and it's study are de-
clinlng In their ancient popularity.
As follows 1t brings UP a strong reen-
forcement ia the New York Times.
There are still several pianos sold an
'nually, no doubt" says this paper, but
the proportion OF those in nominal use
which remain silent from three hum
bred to three hundred and sixty-five
days i'm the year is steadily increasing.
The business of teaching children and
young persons to play on the piano is
declining. The conviction is growing
in the minds of parents that 1T does not
pay to expend considerable sums of
money to enable children, without musi-
cal talent, to acquire such superficial
knowledge of this instrument as will
enable them to disturb the peace and
quiet OF home without contributing
anything to it's pleasures. Real piano
playing has been brought to a plane so
high that one who has not acquired
proficiency by long and arduous study
hesitates to confess to any knowledge
of it. Amateur work has been further
discouraged by the multiplication of
mechanical devices which, by the
agency of strips of paper punched full
,i-.,
music in more or less successful imita-
tion of great compositions or trivial
ones, so far beyond the ability of the
average amateur piano player as to dis
courage effort. The mastery or the in
strument which is the possession of the
few, has flooded the market with COM
positions requiring half lifetime of
hard and unremunerative work to COM
prehend and interpret. The futile little
Bird Waltzes, Battles of Prague, and
Maidens' Prayers, with variations, mas
tered with no great difficulty by the
schoolgirl after one or two quarters of
instruction, are things of the past. The
net result is one of vast advantage
to the average citizen. This year he
can sit at his open window in a popu-
lous neighborhood and perhaps not hear
the sound of a piano once in an even
ing. A few years ago he would have
heard a dozen under like conditions,
variously tortured and each contribute
ing differently from the others to his
mental and physical misery"
There was a time, as may be recalled
from ones reading, when young women
got their instrumental instruction from
the harp and there are some people yet
who would rather hear a harp than
Steinway Grand. The violin is also an
instrument which yields soothing melo-
dies and requires as much skill-not
imitable as yet by any device which
winds up-as the piano. Perhaps, in a
few years, the violin will have the
vogue lately enjoyed by the keyboard.
