It is always interesting to know what
foreigners think Of you. Jules Roche,
who is a statistieian and a deputy who
studies the science of government. has
a learned article in the Figaro entitled.

and in it he sets forth all the good points
Of the American Constitution in compar-
ison with those of the French republic,
says a Paris correspondent of the Brook
lyn Daily Eagle. with all the turmoil
of the last two conventions" says Mon
sieur Roche. numerous Frenchmen have
condemned the system the American
have of governing themselves.
1T is not doing justice to condemn an
organization which has lasted l36 years
and which has a perfect Constitution.
just because a few contemporary poli-
ticians lay themselves open to criticism
To neglect to judge a century Of history
in which thirty Presidents were elected
under normal conditions. to consider and
criticize one or q few details, without
logical conclusion. is the surest way OF
changing truth into error. Why was the
constituent assembly of f7N desirous to
give the reality of executive power to
the Chief Magistrate? Why did its
members wish to, have him elected by
universal suffrage? These are the ques-
tions that should be studied, for they
are the pivots of the Constitution on
which Americans govern themselves."

Feminism in Bohemia. .

In Bohemia 1t would almost seem as IL
the sufhragette question was being set
tied. Mrs. Vyk-Kuneticka has been elect
ed by q majority of 475 votes to the Bohe-
milan Diet from her own constituency.
The law Of franchise in Bohemia does
not expressly exclude any one from ELI
gibilfty to the Diet, although It limits
the active franchise to electors Of the
male sex. Tho question Is warmly agi-
tated, says the Vienna correspondent of
the London Times, whether Prince
Francis Thun. the Lord Lieutenant of
Bohemia, is entitled to deny this woman
deputy formal certificate. In case the
certificate should be refused, she intends
to appeal to the tribunal Of the empire
against the Lord Lieutenant's decision.

Regardless of his injuries. Sickles con-

he was sent on a private mission to CO.

tries. During the early years of the re-
construction of the South Gen. Sickles
was in command of the military district
Of the Carolinas. In 1863 he was placed
on the retired list Of the army with the
rank OF major general.
When Grant was elected President in
1863 another chapter was opened in the
history Of Gen. Sickles. For Sickles had
deserted his old political party. because
one OF the strongest Of Grants support
ers in the campaign, was rewarded with
the appointment of minister to Spain.
and IL was while he was at Madrid that
he met and wOOed ana won the Deautitui
Senorita Caroline de Creeah.
Gen. Sickles' affairs of the heart did not
interfere with his exacting diplomatic du-
ties He had been sent to Madrid at the
time when Spain was throwing over 1sa-
bella to accept Prim: abandoning Prim
to make an Italian prince King: then fly
ing into the arms Of CASTELAR, the repub-
lie being recaptured by Gen. Pavia and
restored to the monarchy. Sickles was

well informed believed IL his advice had
been followed a republic would have been
firmly established.
War with Spain seemed imminent IN
1873. following the publication OF the Vir-
ginius affair. Americans and Englishmen
were numbered with Cuban insurgents
captured of Jamaica and executed at
Santiago. Gen. Sickles vigorously op-
posed any compromise in dealing with
Spain. Hamilton Fish was Secretary of
ster. was counsel for the Spanish govern
ment. These two leaned toward gentler
measures. and Gen. Sickles was summa-
rily recalled.

PLANTERS GRANT
A WAGE ADVANCE
Also Extend General Bonus to
All Laborers - Great
Satisfaction.
IFrom saturday's AdvertIscr. }

The announcement made yesterday
bv +. Faxon Bishop, chairman of the
labor committee of the Hawaiian Sug
ar Planters Association, Of an increase
of wages to plantation laborers in Ger
tain eases and of the payment OF
sliding scale in the shape of bonus,
based upon the price of sugar in New
York, came as surprise yesterday to
the wage earners on the various plan
tations, but the news, so far as known,
has caused the greatest satisfaction, es-
pecially as it was not asked for.
one of the important points about
the new scale is that it does not dis.
criminate between races, for all bene-
fit alike in the raise and bonus. This
lis particularly pleasing to the thousands
.of japanese on the plantations, and
hardly less so to their countrymen in
this city, where the fact that there was
any distinction between the japanese
and other workers did not seem fair
Now all this is wiped off the map anG
the result, say those in close touct
with the Japanese colony, will be great
er contentment of the workers and bet
ter work.
Speaking of the announcement last
evening S. sheba, editor Of The Hawai-
Shinpo, slater that there are FIVE rea
sons why there Is so much satisfaction
over the raise among the japanese.
Reasons for Satisfaction.
