It would of course be poor business policy | from a strictly commercial point of view, Sas. . | te increase the cost of collecting the inter- nal revenue disproportionately to the rev- enue itself, but the problem has more thar a commercial side.

Mr. McLaurin has taken a good position in the Senate, as he had pre~ i taken in the House, and he will ler his constituents excellent service. a man of address and good presence, and cannot have enjoyed the sort of cam- paign from which he has just emerged. A notable point in the choice made is the indorsement by the democracy of South Carolina of Mr. McLaurin’s votes for pro- tectior during the making of the Dingley bill. He supported amendments to the bill giving protection to the products and in- dustries of his state, and for those votes he was called to account on the stump. He defended himself on the score that his people would benefit by the recognition thus secured; and by continuing him in his office his people express their approval of his course. Mr. McLaurin’s suc in this race, therefore, is a gain for the principle of protection in the south. ——-++e——__— Mrs. John Drew. The death of Mrs. John Drew remove from the American stage one of its fore most characters and one of the most cap- able women who ever trod the boards. Mrs. Drew was more than a mere imper- sonator of various stage roles. She was a creator, a manager of high abiiity, and to her ewn personal efforts was due in a large measure the elevation of the theater earlier in the century from the ruts into which it had fallen. To the present generation, however, Mrs. Drew was better known for her masterly presentation of such char- acters as Mrs. Malaprop, whose name has, indeed, become closely identified with her own, M the profession that she followed with such high honor for so many years, and her deaih will be mourned not only by her associates on the stage, but by thousands who knew her only as she appeared before them in the course of hef professional career. —__ +++ —____ It is a fortunate circumstance for Presi- dent Faure that a man of the intellectual stamp which characterizes the anarchist is mcre than likely to lack the foresizht and discrimination necessary to an effective handling of explosives. siceee rs cee ass Some of the men most prominent in the strike have reason to regret that in con- nection with its settlement there will be no schedule of compensation for speech-mak- ing. _——_s0-o—___— Present Development of Auto-Motors. Notwithstanding the refusal of the Dis- trict Commissioners to permit the use of a horseless carriage on the streets of Wash- ington there is a very deep interest felt by the pecple of the capital in this form of light propulsion. It is believed that with its smooth streets and the absence ef conges- tion on the arteries of travel, Washington furnishes an ideal running ground for the motor carriage, but thus far only a single sample of this device has been seen and its career has already been checked. There has been a great development in the con- struction ef motor vehicles of this sort. They originated in France, were developed there to a certain point of efficiency, and when adopted by American inventors for perfection received a commercial value that they had not previously attained. Paris, to be sure, had enjoyed these horseless car- riages in practical use for some time be- | fore America witnessed them, but it is the opinion of a writer in the Engineering Magazine of the current month that the = 1 | Icng continued contempt for the laws. The motor-ear industry in Europe affords a re- markable illustration of the great d!fference between a “good makeshift” and a thing so far on the road to practical perfection that possible improvement is not obvious. He characterizes the French auto-mobile car at present as being in the “good make- ; shift stage.” His description of the best | cars now in use is confined to those oper- ated by mineral oils, which, he says, are approved by the foreigners, notwithstand- ing their unpleasant odors and their tend- ency to become unreliable at important points in their progress. The French cars ‘have undoubtedly made good runs, attain- ing high rates of speed and developing cer- tain economical possibilities, but it "has re- mained for the American inventive genius to so perfect the storage battery, which was once thought to be commercially im- practicable for traction purposes, ds to place on the market a thoroughly practical motor car, light enough for urban use and capable of going twenty-five miles without recharging. This may be said to be the high-water mark in auto-mobile develop- ment today. The next step will be either toward increasing the limit of the run, or increasing the number of persons that can be carried. Judging from all known facts it would seem that American cleverness has 4 ‘Jletters of newspaper .

Avenue. 8e1-28,6t The “Kamehameha” Letters, From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser. During the last four years there have been sent from this place and published in the Evening Star of Washington city, near- ly one hundred letters on our political and social condition. The name of the author is an open secret. The letters have been, as a rule, admir- “ble, and much superior to the average correspondents. In diction, choice of words and general litera- ture, they are most creditable to the au- thor. ‘hat they Lave contaized erroneous st: nents, at times, cannot be denied. The wender is that they contain so few. He who writes “on the fly,” just as he who shoots on the fly, must make some misses or misstatements. ® These letters have been read by a class of intelligent people in Washington city, who are more or less within the political circles and have made some impression. Probably no correspondence from Hawaii bas reached nearer to the center of political management, We do not_say that these letters have changed our Gestiny, or have caused action in Washington. No correspondence, except in the event <f a crtsis, can move political thought. We do not say that people re- member the contents of these letters better than they remember the contents of other “able correspondence.” But they have cre- ated a wholesome atmosphere just where we needed it. The Evening Star, under the control of Mr. Noyes, is a vigilant annexationist, steadfast to the end. He and his sons have taken the trouble to inform themselves, by personal inspection, of the conditions of the Orient. They realize the rapid movement of avents. They are not simply newspaper men, whose mission begins and ends in simply gathering news. The Evening Star has consistently maintained the need of seg union between the states and Ha- wail. We, assuming to speak for our own peo- ple, thank it for its aid and influence. That it has published for so many years the “Kamehameha” letters is its own testi- mony to their value. —————~+e—__ , A State With a Fature. From the Philadelphia Record.
