EPORTS from the East announce that there R has been undertaken in New York, in the in- terests of education, a philanthropic move- b ch is expected to far exceed all that has been done in the past, even in the foundation by pri- vate munificence of such great universities as Stan- ford and Chicago. The plan is to establish a fund for the promotion of education generally throughout the country and to use the interest of it for all time to come to assist communities that are in most need of assistance. The enterprise is said to be the outcome “of a re- cent discussion concerning the needs of the South in the way of higher education. While Northern and Western colleges have received large endow- ments from private sources, those of the South have | Of the many millions of dol- educational purposes by gen- and women, the Southern States received The result has been the development of ference between the educational advan- tages of the South and those of the rest of the coun- nd it is now recognized that the general good the republic requires that something be done to help the South forward in order that her people may have something like equality with those of other not been so fortunate. 1 lars giv ast year for TOUS T very little. sections in this respect. Out rected first to obtaining contributions for Southern colleges, but later on it was expanded into the pres- ent plan permanent fund for assisting whatever section of the country may be in need of better educational facil The plan now proposed is to establish a central educational board, which direct in a general way the work to be done in States by branch organizations. Carrying the original idea, the efforts of the central body | be directed for a time mainly to the South, but imediate needs of that section have been n the revenues will be devoted to other of that consideration came a movement di- of 2 forming various sections While the enterprise has not yet been definitely organized, it is said to be fairly well matured and has “bright prospects of immediate success. More than 2 dozen men of large wealth, including two of the Rockefeller family, are reported to have given it their approval and to have pledged several millions of dollars to be paid into the fund as soon as organi- zation has been effected. Moreover, it is added that the details have been so far worked out that it is de- cided the central board shall consist of fifteen mem- bers and that the president shall be William H. Bald- win Jr., president of the Long Island Railway Com- pany, a gentleman who has shared in Southern edu- cational work and is familiar with the needs of that section. | Should the plan be carried out on the scale pro- posed it will be the greatest educational enterprise ever undertaken by private munificence. It would elso be vastly beneficial, for it would carry help to colleges where help is most needed. Instead of building up a few great universities, as has been the tendency of millionaire philanthropists in the past, it would aid the smaller institutions and give every section of the country a share in the munificence of the contributors. The scheme is vast, but it is none too vast for the progressive men who have built up the great Ameri- can fortunes that are the wonder of the world. Ac- cordingly we may indulge the hope that it will be carried out on the scale that has been suggested. It could not be possible in any other land, but in the United States it may be realized within a year. e T ——— Washington City boasts that she has not had a municipal scandal in twenty-five years, but then she has had no real self-government and ought to be held accountablg for al! the scandals in Congress. It is but a short time since all Australia was re- joicing over the accomplishment of federation, and yet it is now said that Queensland is already dis- satisfied and is talking about secession. The quarrel among the powers of Europe 1s to which was most friendly to us during the Spanish war is amusing to our ears, but probably Spain would like to be heard from. 4 | tained; B THE SAN A JAPANESE XENOPHON. M tropical. told, and among our finest exotics we have the flow- ering cherry, quince and peach from that land where flower worship is a cult, and so we think of it as sun- kissed and warm. So it is, but not as the tropics, for the archipelago has nearly the same latitude as the British Isles and goes quite as far north. It owes its verdure to the same influence as guards that of Great Britain and makes Ireland the Emerald Isle— the equatorial current, which also brings to Califor- nia its moisture. ' But Japan is mountainous. Its ranges are not the moderate hills of Pentland nor the more pronounced Trossachs, They are alps. From Fujiyama, the king of them all, the ranges and summits stretch away north to Awomori, above which tower Iwaki, Hanabe, Iraha and their snow-clad company. A railroad winds along the eastern edge of this range from Taketogo, and the Gulf of Ise, and Fukuyama, on the Inland Sea, to the northern bay of Awomori. It passes in sight of the central alps, of Yarigatake, the Japanese Matterhorn, Norikura, the saddle mountain, and the other knights and squires in snow helmets which wait upon King’ Fuji. It became necessary to send a military force across these northern alps tc test the question of penetra- bility of the country by a foreign enemy, for these are stirring times in the East, and Japan has a manly part to play, which can be maintained only by know- ing all her offensive and defensive resources. Of old her people marched down the Korean Peninsula, not only blazing a path but claim-staking a country against the day they might come back. Then they cros :ed thc' narrow waters to conquest the Ainos and their islands. Korea and Manchuria are of immense interest to them, and they are ready to fight against the servile subjection of either with the same stub- bornness that they will put into defense of their own islands. So it became necessary to know what an invader could do in Awomori, this must be known by experiment. A force of infantry was sent to make the test. Each man seems to have known the purpose of the expedition. No doubt each was EAGER fragments.of a great story come from Japan. We constantly think of Japan as a tropical country, or at least semi- and {firm in the patriotic belief that no other could suc- ceed where he failed and that no other could follow where he succeeded. In those far alps they met the enemy that con- quers conquerors, the foe that beat Bonaparte back from Russia and that long before had penned Han- nibal up in Italy. Winter fell upon Hanabe and Yakoda. Snmow and tempest choked the mountain passes. The swollen streams chanted dirges. The demon of the Yi was abroad, but the troop of sol- diers faced their duty until all but seven perished in the frost and tempest. It is plaintive and pitiful, but heroic, that the few who lived forgot their frozen feet and hands and faces and reported that through- out the march their military discipline was main- every man cbeyed his commander as long as he could cling to life, and then saluted the stan- dard of his country and fell dead into is sepulcher of |saoy- Xenophon and his ten thousand Greeks made no more glorious record. Grecian pluck did not ex- cel the spirit of those patriotic islanders. They are not imitators. They are original. They never read the Anabasis nor the heroic history of the Spartans. In the Chino-Japanese war an old father had sent two sons to the army. After the battles had begun one son wrote to him: “When brother and I joined our regintent we promised each other that if either met his death before reaching the gates of Peking the survivor should carry the dead within the walls of China’s capital. But my brother is already slain and we are yet far away from the great city. In or- der to fulfill my vow I have cut off a portion of brother’s body, which I carry in my cap, so that when I enter the walled city his spirit will behold and be glad” The old father read the letter and smiled, saying, “Well done, my son.” A widow sent her only son to that patriotic war, and when news came that he had fallen on the Manchu plains her friends came to sympathize, but she repulsed them gently, crying, “Widow though I am, I count it a privilege to give my enly son to die for the honor of his Emperor and his country.” That widow had never read: Eight sons Demoeneta at Sparta’s call Sent forth—one tomb received them all. No tear she shed, but shouted “Victory! Sparta, I bore them but to die for thee.” The Japanese mother had never heard of Sparta. Her sacrifice and her spirit were alike original. It is evident that if we wish to see our classics re- vived in action we may turn to the Orient, where they are acted as faithfully as we stage a drama. e Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii has but slight chance to make a reputation for himself at Washington, but he has made a bid for popularity among his col- leagues by proposing the adoption of a bill doubling the salaries of Senators and Representatives and handsomely increasing that of every other official at the capital. THE LETTER CARRIER BILL OARDS OF TRADE, Chambers of Com- merce, banks, manufacturing establishments and business men of all sections of the Union are said to have sent petitions to Congress urging the passage of the bill to classify and increase the pay of letter-carriers. - As to the press of the coun- try, it has been well nigh unanimous in approving the measure, so that the advocates of the bill in Con- gress have had no.lack of support in their efforts to do this amount of justice to one of the hardest worked branches of the public service. Representative Smith of Michigan, who introduced the bill, has recently declared himself well assured of its favorable consideration by the committee and by both the House and the Senate. Speaking of its objects he said: “The letter carrier starts in under the present law at $600 a year, having served pre- viously sometimes from three to four years as a sub- stitute before he is put on regularly. At the end of four years, after he becomes a regular carrier, he can get $1000 a yéar. As a rule we pay colored messen- gers and laborers in the departments better than we do the letter carriers. The bill I have introduced in- creases the carrier's maximum pay to $1200 a year, angd I think it is little enough. A man or woman can be appointed to a clerkship in the departments at $720 to $000 a year, and in two or three years, with a little political influence, get up to $1600 or $1800. The lctter carrier must serve anywhere from six to eight years before he can get $1000, and that is the maximum. I think the slightest consideration of the equity of these cases would show the injustice to the letter carriers and pass the bill. I think I am not de- luding myself in believing that even without any recommendation from the Postoffice Committee, if FRANCIS The story of its flowers has been often 50 ,CALL, WEDNESDAY, t the bill were taken up if the House it would pass by » a practically unanimous vote There are a good many unjustifiable attempts now pending before Congress to rake the treasury in the interests of undeserving salary grabbers, but this is niot one of them. The letter carriers nierit a better treatment and a higher pay than they are now receiv- ing. Their work is cne of high responsibility and the service required is exacting and toilsome. It is but right they. should receive fair pay. The cordial approval of the Smith bill which has been given by the business men of the country is a proof of public recognition of the claims of the carriers and of the rightfulness of the purposed increase of pay. It is to be hoped, therifore, it will be enacted at this session. T A s v e A Republican leaders in Congress are reported to have made up _their minds to carry at this session an isthmian canal bill, the repeal of the war revenue taxes, the Philipgine teriff bill and some measure for increasing our trade with Cuba. The programme is good, but the last item will bear watching, and fortu- nately there are plenty of vigilant people to do it. P — THE CANAL CONTROVERSY. ESPITE the vigor with which the advocates D of the Nicaragua route for an isthmian canal battle against the proposed adoption .of the Panama route, there is reason for believing the is- sue between the contestants may be settled at this session of Congress and a way prepared for defer- mining a route and beginning construction without further¥delay. It appears thdt while some members | of Congress déclare for “Nicaragua or nothing,” and others are just as obstinate on the side of Panama, a good working majority in each House is willing to accept a compromise and to refer the selection of a route to President Roosevelt. There can be little question that the country would much prefer leaving the choice to the President than to run the risk of a deadlock in Congress with the consequent postponement of work for another year, or perhaps two years. The majority of the -people desire the completion of a waterway as speedily as possible and are comparatively indifferent by which route it is constructed so long as it is under control of the United States Government. Nicaragua, Pan- ama and Darien has each its advocates, but all are advocates of a canal, and there is a very small prof portion who would insist upon either route if such insistence would seriously retard the attainment of the object of common desire. Washington reports are to the effect that in the Senate at least it is well nigh assured that the solu- tion of the controversy over the routes will be found in referring the choicg to ‘the President. Senator Spooner has proposed to the House bill an amend- ment which provides that the President shall con- struct the canal on the Panama route if it shall be possible to secure for $40,000,000 good and sufficient title to the properties and franchises of the Panama Canal Company, and if it also shall be possible to secure from Colombia necessary concessions for the construction of the canal. Should the President find it impossible to acquire good title to the Panama Canal Company’s property for $40,000,000, or, if hav- ing found no obstacle to the acquirements of a good title from the canal company, it should be impos- sible to obtain from Colombia what is wanted in the shape of concessions, it is provided that the canal shall be built upon the Nicaragua route. It would seem that such an amendment would be satisfactory to all parties who are really desirous of having a canal constricted and who are not seeking opportunities to delay the enterprise without incur- ring the odium of actually opposing it. Sooner or later the issue will come home to the Nicaragua men whether they would not sooner accept the amendment than to adjourn without enacting a canal bill, and the same issue will be presented to the Pan- ama men. With that quéstion fairly before them it is not probable that a majority of the Senate would refuse the compromise offered them. Should it be adopted in the Senate the House would probably follow. At any rate the snarl over the route has not yet become so confused that it cannot be un- tangled before adjournment. The Republican lead- ers in each House are reported to be agreed that a canal bill shall be passed this session, and the pros- pects are they will succeed in their efforts. LONG DISTANCE SABIN. MEDICAL reader of The Call traces some A relation between cancer quackery and our de- scription of a cancer as resembling a rose in form. We were not informed as to the kind of cancer Colonel Sabin cured by a simple turn of the wrist of his mind, while separated 15,000 miles from the patient, and used the rose form as a figure of speech, which we thought a justifiable license in view of the figurative nature of Colonel Sabin’s statement. We are aware that the scourge takes many forms, determined, perhaps, by the nature of the tissue in which it nests. But as the subject is too serious to have anything said upon it that will mislead those who suffer from the dreadful disease, or increase the ravages of quacks, we leave standing all = we said about Colonel Sabin and take down the rose metaphor. g ‘ Since we commented upon Sabin it is reported that the cancer germ has been isolated and used success- fully in inoculation. If this be so it raises again the hope of the medical profession that the disease may be conquered. It is not long since the bacteriolo- gists were baffled by the conclusion that cancer is not a germ disease, but ‘the result of some abnormal aberration of cell growth. If it be true that a speci- fic germ induces and controls that aberration it would seem that this enemy of the flesh is about to be conquered and civilization emancipated from one of its major scourges. An evidence of the wealth—or at least of the glit- ter—of New York is shown in the report that there are upward of 300 firms in that city engaged in the importation of precious stones. As much as $20,000,- 000 worth of diamonds alone has been imported in a single year, and it is believed that about $7,000,000 worth is smuggled in annually. Evidently the big city is bidding for fame as the gem town of the world. Experts who have made a-thorough examination of Brooklyn bridge report it'in such a condition that it will have to be virtually rebuift; and, as it has been in use hardly more than twenty years, the tax- payers are wondering whether it would not be cheaper to construct tunnels or wait for airships. $ VRISt According to George M.

CARTER, one ‘of the best- known politicians and business men of Honolulu, was among the passengers of the steamship Sono- ma, which arrived here yesterday. Carter is reported to have cogge to the United States for the purpose of reporting per- sonally to President Roosevelt on the po- litical situation in the islands. ‘ “This report is untrue,” said the Sen- ator to a Call reporter at the Palace last uight. “I am here on private and not public business of any kind.”” “Is it not true that the President re- quested you to come to Washington to advise him as to current affairs in the islands?” was asked. “That is a matter I do not care to dis- cuss,” responded Carter coldly. “I have nothing to say concerning my trip to the United States.” “It is reported that you are to be Par- ker's private secretary in the event of his appointment as Governor to succeed Dole. Is that true?” “I have nothing to say.” Receiveg Callers With Coldness. Senator Carter muttered something about having heard considerable about the enterprise and persistence of the American newspaper man, and ‘that he was convinced his information in this re- spect was not misleading. He consented to say, however, that he would ultimacely leave San Francisco for New York. He was not quite certain when he would make the journey across the céntinent, but thought it would be “within a day or two.” “Are you going to Washington?’ was asked. “I don’t know yet whether my itinerary includes that very interesting 2ity,” he replied, as with a wave of the hand and a “so long” he dashed into an elevator and disappeared. Carter is a young man, 30 or so, of ath- letic build and a good dresser. He wears glassés and is smooth shaven. When ad- dressed by strangers he exhibits surprise and assumes an irritation of manner which may be foreign to him when among his own clientele of acquaintances and friends, who are not likely to startle him, He seemed to have prepared himself to meet with coldness the advances of re- porters, and, like many. persons who for the moment are in the public eye, he evaded every effort made to extract in- formation from him with the general statement that he had nothing to say and an air as if all the secrets of the na- tion bad suddenly been placed in his keeping. Scant courtesy was shown by him to various persons who called upon him last night, and the impression cre- ated thereby was not flattering to Carter or to the importance of the mission with which he is intrusted and which evidently has very favorably imptessed him with himself.

This state- ment is now en route to Washington and it will be in President Roosevelt's haads before Carter is enabled to reach that city. The intimation is that Carter's re- port will be one-sided, and whether the written statement will be accepted in pret- erence to Carter’s verbal one remains to be seen. That the political division in the islands relative to the removal of Presi- dent Dole and the appointment of Par- ker as his successor is marked there can bé no question. Carter has been a leading figure in isl- and politics for four years. He is a son of the late H. A. P. Carter, who was at one time Hawalian Minister to the United States. He is the head of the Hawallan Trust Company and hold interests in the Hawallan Electric Company. He has| been identifiled with the missionary move- | ment in the islands and has the reputa- tion of being a reformer. NATIVES FAVOR DAMON. Gossip Concerning a -Successor for/ Governor Dole. HONOLULU, Feb. 11.—During the last | two days the Governorship of Hawali has | still been the sole topic of discussion. It is felt that Colonel Sam Parker is now | entirely out of the running. Mr. Bald- win, who has the large Spreckelsville su- gar property on his hands, is almost sure to decline the honor of being Governor, so that a discussion of other candidates has been in order. The natives are by no means wedded to Parker, but would be even more satisfied with Hon. 8. M, Da- | mon, who is head of the banking-house of Bishop & Co. Another man who would | be acceptable to the natives is George | ‘Willcox of Kauai, though they would pre- fer Damon, and the latter would. not be | opposed by any of the business interests. | They ar. willing to take anybody but | Judge Little.
