5 The home rule pirty, which deep down in its marrow means
nothing more or less than a binding together of the Hawaiian
against Ihehaole, simply cannot in the nature of thing survive
much longer. The involuntary retiremeno of Ueckley and the vol
untary retirementof Kalauokalani Jr. from that parlVi both of whom
are bright young men and natural leaders, is significant of what is
soon to happen. The older members of the home rule piirty , whose
memories are better than their foresight, will cling to their old be
liefs as long as they live, but in a few years at most, younger II a
waiiians, with clear and ardent views of the full meaning of Ameri
can cilizenship will be in a controlling majority, while many of the
old men, their party name lost, will subside into the ranks of the
democratic party, to be led by the leaders of the organization, and
in Island politics will simply count as so many votes. Still, quite
a number of the longer headed old men will unite their fortunes
with the republican party, which at present stand for the best in
terests of the Islands.

for the past few yean., dating from the outbreak of the plague in
January 1900. The causes for these panics have been numerous
' and diverse, but the lions have been securely chained to either side
4 .of the roadway in every instance so far, and it is now becoming
maiufest that an traof more solid and permanent prosperity is ap
proaching than t he Islands have ever enjoyed before. The govern
ment is gradually reaching a more stable and permanent financial
basis, and the fear of competition .from beet and Cuban sugar has
, been so minimized that raw islaud sugars are steadily advancing
in value With the devel ipment of ninor industries and the cer

are indulged in.
Our Attorney General is back from Washington accom
' panied by a decidedly "fishy" odor, but the News is inclined to the
-belief that he did the best he knew how, and that was all that he
- could reasonably be expected to do. Underlying the legal aspect
of the case however, is a more serious matter to be considered.
The ancient Hawaiians were wise and skilled fishermen, and their
" tabus and fishing restrictions were all aimed at the presevation of
fish during the breeding season, so as to preserve the supply. With
' open fishing at all seasons by Japs and everyone else, it is sure to
. happen that our tishenes will eventually.be exhausted, and maybe
private ownership and protection to spawn is the best after all.

"' Children already born on the Coast today will live to visit the
Islands in air-ships and think no more of it than one now thinks of
a spin along level roids in an automobile. True, it may be expen
sive travelling at first, but the ease and rapidily will more than
compensate for the expense. And children living today will yet
' enjoy yacht excursions in the sky for an afternoon breath of fresh,
cool air.
The beginning of the end of the struggle between Russia and
Japan is written between the lines of the story which tells of the
defeat of the-Russians on the Yalu. The paople of the South were
inspired with the spirit which burns in the breasts of the masses
of the Japanese, and the North, rich in men and money, and lying
side by side with the South, fought four hard years to replant the
old flag in the South. The Russians are remote by land and cut off
'by -water from the field of battle,
spirit which thrills her army,
certainly.

With a blind but fixed faith
on the islands, the News has steadily predicted their development,
V nd has steadilv noted one after another verification of its convic
' ions. The newest enterprise is that of securing tannin from the
" wattle, a species of acacia. ' Jared Smith, whose opinion in such
matters is perfectly reliable, states that the wattle is rich in tannin,
and as all varieties of the acacia grow luxuriantly on the Islands,
it is only a question of time till the Islands will be shipping large
amounts of tan-bark to the Coast tanneries. Next!
j5j The Advertiser has started out right in its demand for cheap
er passenger rates from the Coast, in order to encourage tourist
travel, and time will surely bring this about. " But there is another
sida to the sLield. It should be remembered that many tourists,
the bulk of them in fact, are not of the wealthy class', and the ex
penses of living and of travel on and about the! Islands simply
must be reduced in proportion to the reduction, of rates to and from
the Islands.

Vt There is one thing which the Agricultural Department of tho
' Territory of Hawaii should do at once, and that is to establish a
nursery for the propagation' of Bluefield banana plants for distrib
ution on each of the Islands, so that those who desire to raise Blue
field for profit can obtain settings. Land on each of the 'Islands
can be easily obtained for this purpose; and the people of Maui are
ready and anxious to embark in bunnna culture.

sentence. Junge Dole asked defend
ant if lie had anything to say why
sentence snouli not be pronounced,
aud Attorney Robertson addressed
the Court in his behalf, claiming that
there were other publications on the
Mainland far more obscene and have
the privilege of going through the
mails. He named the "Police Guz
etle," "Vunity Fuir," "Town Talk"
and other publications and that the
same was in Englaud and other
European countries. He asked for a
lenient fine, being the first offense of
the kind ever brought up in this
country. Mr. Dunne, Assistant U.S.
District Attorney' on being asKed by
the Court, said that he could not add
much more to what the previous
speaker had said, only to say that
the case was brought up for the sake
of society and the community. And
he also as Ued that leniency be meted
out to the defendant, and would act
as a warning to other publishers.
By t-e Court, .after touching on
the remarks of the Attorney for the
defence, S jid that he c uld not ugree
with all that wus said with regards
to Mainland publications. It showed
that officials there remiss iu their
duties towards the public morals of
society. This is the first time that
this law has been applied in this
country and it would serve as a cau
tion to other publishers, -te be more
careful hereafter, of what they pub
lislied. A lack of knowledge of the
law is no excuse.
Then he imposed sentence, the
minimum penalty, finding the defend
ant to pay $100 and cost of proceed
ings, referring t.im to the custody of
i he Marshall's office, until paid. On
repairing to the Marshall's office he
wns allowed to go, by District At
lornoy Brec lions, to arrange mat ters
and to report later. Cost in the mat
tor would come to about $75.00, or
thereabouts. Independent.
Tbe Russian Church.
Frequent inquiries have been sent tt
the Standard of late asking what re
ligion belongs to the Russians.
The "Russian State Church" is
branch of what is commonly called
the "Greek Church. " whose full title
is "The Oriental Orthodox Catholic
Apostolic Church." This church is
divided into three great branches, the
church in Turkey, in Greece and i
Ruasia. Tue government of th
Greek church is a patrarchal oliga
chy, in distinction of the papal mon
archy of the church ol Rome. The
government of the church outside of
Russia u in the hands of patriarch

the church in Russia is in the hands
of the permanent holy synod of Rus
sia and the Czar, who is tho head of
the church in his dominion, thoug
the patriarch in Constantinople is the
primate in honor. The holy govern
ing synod was established by Pete
the Great to take the place of the
patriarch of Moscow, the former
ruler of the church in Russia. The
synod is composed of bishops and lay
men, all appointed by the Czar. The
actual controller of the power of the
church is the procurator of the holy
synod, M. Pobedonosteff, though the
Czar is the nominal head of the Rus

New Theory ol Matter.
The idea that all the chemical ele
ments are built up of some elemen
tary unit of m liter or protyle has long
been familiar unJ has been tentative
ly suggested in different forms by
many pruinmeut scientists. Drum
videncc of a spectt oscopic examina
lion of the utars, Sir Norman Locii-
,'er has put forward the view that the
matter of the universe is undergoing
continuous process of evolution.
The hottest stars consist of the light
er ond simpler forms of matter, IiUi
hydrogen and dcliuin, but at the lower
temperatures the more complex iv;nl
heavier tyfes appear. The theory
we have put forward is the exact c;t.
verse of this. It commands a coir
tinous disintegration of matter, tin
heavy atoms breaking up into sunuler
forms, aud in tiiis change the highest
temperature obtainable in the labora
tory has 'it.ile or no influence. The
process of degradation uoes not. co;.-
isl in a slow simultaneous transfor
mation of all the matter with a grad
ual alteration of chemical properties,
but is a process of degradation per
saltum in which only aminutcquauti-
ty of matter is effected at one lime,
and where the products are of clearly
defined chemical aud physical proper-
ties differing from the origiual sub-1
stance. Whether this oroccss ot de-
gradation is common to all matteror
takes place only in the ladioaciive
elements is at present a purely spec-
culalive question. Professor En est

How to Sleep Well.
The greatest luxury iu the whole
world is a forgetful, peaceful sleep.
Yet how few of us ar granted this
boon, snys a household magazine.
Many people suffer all night from the
troubled sleep of indigestion, which
the eating of a biscuit und a glass of
water before retiring would have pre
vented. It is not advisable to eat
heavy or rich food before going to bed,
but if you feel at all hungry nature's
cries will cuuso you disturbance if you
do not make an attempt to satisfy
that hunger betore going to bed.
The best position in sleeping is to lie
on the right side. Do not throw the
arms over the head and do not curve
the logs. Thei e is a great tempta-
tioli to do this when one retires, but
should be resisted Do not use a bol
ster, only a moderately high pillow,
and do nut sleep on feathers, as they
are debilitating. There is nearly al
ways a drnught felt from under the
bed; this can be remedied bv covering
the wire mattress with newspapers,
If swan's down qiiilu, can be afforded
ihey are ideal covering, being warm
und light. All heavy blankets snould
be strenuously avoided, and, there
fore, the habit of throwing a fur coat
or other heavy blanket over the bed
for xtrtt warmth is a very bad one.
Windows should be slightly opened
day a"d night. Flowers should never
remain m the sleeping room, and the
less heavy drapery there is about the
better. If the bed rejoices in valances
they should be kept scrupulously
clean.
Ancient Korea.
The authentic history of Korea be
gins at a date some hundreds of years
anterior to the foundation of Rome.
It was in B. C. 1122 that Kitsu,
brother of Woo Wang, fled from tho
Chinese court and was elected king
oy the Koreans. He is said to have
taught, the Koreans etiquette, in-
egrity, agriculture and the rearing
'f silk worms, and the spinning and
w eaving of silk. For the better gov-
eminent of the country he establish-
' d eight laws, which were so wellob-
served that in that golden era, theft
vas unknown, and no house, was
tarred. Seoul, the capital of tho
Korean kingdom, is about 57 miles

'iated in a hollow, surrounded Bv
