Sentiment.
, Editor Of The Dispatch

10 the Editor Of The Dispatch:
J. 4. Lowell says, Sentiment is
intellectuaiized emotion; emotion
precipitated, as it were, in pretty
crystals by the fancy" Blair calls
attention to the difference between
sentiment and principle. He says,
Sentiment is the virtue of ideas;
principle the virtue of action. Senti-
ment has it's seat in the head; prin-
ciple in the heart. Sentiment sug-
gests fine harangues, and subtle dis
functions; principle conceives just
notions, and performs good actions in
consequence of them. Sentiment re-
fines away the simplicity of truth and
the plainness Of piety; and gives US
virtue in words, and vice in deeds.
Sentiment may be called the Athe-
nian who knew what was right; and
principle the. Lacedaemonian who
practiced it. Emerson says: "Cure the
drunkard, heal the insane, nullify the
homicide, ciyilize the Pawnee, but
what lessons can be devised for the
debaucher of sentiment"
These quotations are worthy of our
close study. There is not a person,
in measure whose character or ma
ture does not in some way appeal to
the sentiment or principle or both,
which govern our actions. A soul
that enthrones sentiment above prin
ciple will honor the vile, and dishonor
the virtuous; will liberate the guilty,
and punish the innocent; will glorify
the thief, and scoff the honest; will
wreck and ruin a county. Sentiment
when not debauched is worthy of
high commentator, but when used
to shield the guilty, to defeat the ends
of justice, or to overthrow principle
founded in righJ, it is an enemy of all
good. It should never be given such
liberty in halls of legislation or courts
of justice.
Happy the country whose law-mak-
ers, editors and courts keeps senti-
ment in due bounds.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurabie. Science has
proved catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio. is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials.

A ROCKING STONE.

New Yorl's Souvenir of the Remote
Glacial Period.
Though tens of thousands Of persons
yearly see the great rocking stone Of
Bronx park in New York city, few
realize that it is the city's most con-
spicuous souvenir of the glacial period,
when all of this section was covered
with an ocean Of ice some 1,500 feet
thick that was moving slowly toward
the south.
That pinkish bit Of granite, weighing
thirty tons, standing seven and one
half feet above its rocky base, being
ten feet broad and eight feet thick,
came from the far north, carried in
the resistless icy arms Of the glacier
that swept over the continent down to
this latitude, marking its path by de-
posting great powders as it moved
and leaving scratches on the firm rocks
beneath, from the sliding, grinding
bits and masses Of granite that set
tied to it's base and were pushed along
as it moved.
This same bowlder left its mark on
the bare face of the rocky hill to the
north Of it, in which lies the crocodile
pool. There the scratches are visible
today. pointing to where the bowlder
stands and telling the story of part OF
it's travels
When the melting ice departed from
the great block Of granite, it left it
standing through the ages rocking
stone so delicately poised that pres

THE MULE IN THE JUG.
An Arab Proverb and the Legend
That Gave 1t Birth.


That Gave It Birth.
Who can affirm that the mule en-
tered the jug?
This proverb is frequently. quoted to
show that, though one may conscien-
tiously believe in q thing which may
seem extravagant in itself, it is better
not to repeat it from fear Of being dis
believed. It arises from the following
Arabic legend: AN Arab who denied
the existence Of genii once bought a
mule and took it home. When per-
forming his evening ablutions, he saw
the mule enter jug, and this so
scared him that he ran shouting to the
neighbors and told them what he had
seen. They, thinking him mad, endeav-
ored to appease him, but all in vain.
He vociferated more and more, SO that
the authorities sent him to the mad
house. When the doctor came to see
him, be repeated the account of what
be had seen, whereupon the doctor or
dered him to be detained. He contin-
ued upon seach visit Of the doctor to
repeat his statement until his friends
succeeded in persuading him that If he
wished to- regain his freedom he must
recant. This he did and the doctor set
him at liberty, to the great JOY Of his
family and friends. On making his alb
lutions as before he again saw the
mule. this time peeping out Of the jug.

You have given US only some blood

So goodbye, Mr.. Whiskey; farewell.

We say to you kindly yet firmly and

That we have concluded to have you

Farewell, Mr.. Whiskey; goodbye Mr..

We find nothing, nay, nothing save

We pause and we listen and hear

We see some bright spots, where once

Dismantled and desolate with whiskey

Forever, and ever, thank God it is

For its goodbye Mr.. Whiskey, fare

ing completed and in the possibilities
of power development from the waters
to be stored in the reservoir, so inter
ested especially in the latter feature
that he has associated himself with
Superintendent Campbell in preparing
tentative plans for the hydroelectrical
plant suggested to develop power to
pump artesian water into the city mains
in place of the Nuuanu water alto.
gether.
The Superintendent of Public Works
is meeting with enthusiastic encourage
ment in his suggestion to improve the
city water service in this way, sug-
gestion whereby the water service may
be improved without the necessity of
an expensive filtration plant Profess
sional engineers who have considered
the subject state that the utilization
of the inexhaustible artesian water sup
ply in preference to the waters direct
from the surface DRAWINGS of the val
ley would ensure an uncontaminated sup
ply, improve the health conditions un-
der ordinary circumstances and be be-
yond the chance of contamination in
any epidemic that might break out.
Power could be developed from the
reservoir to pump three million gal
Ions day to the 425-foot level and
would supply every portion of the city
except the very highest sections, sucn
as Alewa Heights, which would have
to depend upon a supply from the di-
rect main from the reservoir. At pres
ent this artesian water can only be
forced to the 160-foot level
Competent authorities on filtration
plants agree that no artificial plant can
be devised to equal the natural fltra-
ton, while the power development
scheme of Mr.. Campbell has the added
advantage of being cheaper to install
than filtration plant capable of filter
ing the seven-million gallons day that
will come down the Nuuanu mains.
Every physician of the city is heartily
in favor of the artesian supply scheme
and the Public Works Superintendent
is greatly encouraged by the interest
aroused and taken in his suggestion.

7. RAIN WALKER
DEAD IN ENGLAND

A cablegram received by T. Fl
Davies & Co. yesterday from England
announced the death of Mr.. T. Rai1
Walker, formerly of Honolulu. The
previous day a cablegram gave in
formation that Mr.. Walker was in g
serious condition resulting from an ac
cident, but what kind OF an accident
has not yet been learned The receipt
of the sad news caused the flag above
the buildings of Davies & Co. to be
half-masted and the doors closed, as
Mr.. Walker was for many years con
nected with the Hfn.
Mr.. Walker eam6 to the HawaiiaIl
Islands from England in the s. S. Ida
no in December, 1868, and took a posi-
tion in the partnership firm of the late
Theophilus Davies and r. G. Janion.
When Mr.. Janion died in 1881 Mr..
Walker became a partner of Mr.. Davies,
and later when the business was incof-
porated as Theo. II. Davies & Co., he
became one of the directors, holding
this office until his retirement from
active business in June, 1901. He re-
turned to England about that time and
resided at Bonchurch near Ventnor In
the Isle of Wight. Upon the retire
ment of the late TTheo. II. Davies from
active business in 1886 and taking up
a residence in England, Mr.. Walker
became British Vice Consul, holding
that position until he left the islands.
Mr.. Walker was devout church.
man, teaching Sunday school classes IN
st. Andrews cathedral, besides hold
ing positions in the vestry. At one
time he was in charge of the choir.
The organization of the parish of st.
Clements at Punahou was largely due
to the efforts of Mr.. Walker and he
assisted in many ways in securing the
erection of the church. He was trus-
tee of st. Clement at the time of his
death. Besides his activity in Episco-
pal church affairs he was intensely in
terested in the Young Men s Christian
Association, in which he was one OF
the organizers here. He penned the
minutes of the first Y. M. 9. a. meet
ing here, in 1869, as secretary. He
was president of the Y. M. Q. A. on
three occasions.
Mr.. Walker was liberal in church
matters, and was prominent IN eharlta
BILE and social circles. His musical
training enabled him to take leading
part in many of the amateur enter
tainments in the earlier years of his
residence.
/ Although seven years have elapsed
since Mr.. Walker left the islands M
leaves behind him a large number OF
close friends who mourn the loss OF
one of the gentlest, most unselfsh anC
kindhearted men they have known.

SHIPBUILDERS OPPOSE A
MODIFIED SHIPPING LAW

sells for the former as we now do for
the latter.
If the interest of the Hawaiian
planter justiies the abandonment of
our epastwise laws in respect to his
trade with the rest of the United
States, as the interest of the Filipino
seems to have justified its abandon,
ment in his trade with the rest of the
country, why should not the interest
of the shipper, or of the consignee,
in any of the several states equally
Justify its abandonment in the trade
between the several states? If the
" modification - which you are quoted
as advocating is made for the Hawai-.
ian, what will prevent it's extension
to the Porto Rican? And after that,
what will justify it's refusal to the
Alaskan? And after that, what will
Justify its refusal to the rest of the
United States? Surely the interest of
the Hawaiian planter is not superior
to that of any other American citizen.
You should recall that our coastwise
laws have been uninterruptedly in force
for ninety-one years, that our vessels
engaged in that trade have been that
long prohibitively protected against
foreign competition, that they are sue
cessful vessels, built in the United
States, owned and differed by our own
citizens. If our own shipyards are to
be deprived of the building, and our
own citizens are TO lose the owning and
offering of these vessels, manifestly
great and far-reaching blow will have
been struck at an industry one great
arm of which-our vessels engaged In
foreign trade-has already been ruined
by Free Trade competition with for.
eign vessels. Free Trade, in short, will
then completely dominate the ship
building and shipowning business of
the United States. Once embarked up
on the policy you seem already commit
ted to, you should realize where its
logic will carry you, and whether you
are disposed to go with it that far.
Finally, if Free Trade in our do.
nestle carrying is justifable, as it
seems to be in our trade with the
Philippine Islands and with the rest
of the world, since the effort to ex-
tend protection to it where it is now
destroyed by Free Trade competition
seems to have been abandoned, why
is not Free Trade equally justified in
respect to all other industries in the
United States that are subject to for
eign competition?
