SSS Just what influences will save the ever- unfortunate and.perennially-bleeding state of Kansas from cverwhelming disaster may not yet be prophesied. but that unless some reat power intervenes there will be dis- order of the most disorderly kind is alarm- incly certain. The latest fool to achieve unsavory prominence is Henry A. White, ebairman of the Butler county populist emuuciee, ho declares loudiy that the so- cialists of Germany and the nihilists of Russia had their counterpart in the people's party of America. “We must win this bat- tle by the ballot if we can,” he shouted, “but if we fail to do so I see a time—laugh at the prediction if you will—when the de- cision will be by the bullet.” Mrs. Lease, too, has re-entered the arena of prophesy with @ prediction that serious trouble must goon ensue. “The goldbugs’ conspiracy,” says she, “has succeeded; the Wall street brigands have the nation by the throat. ‘There is no mercy in their murderous grip. ‘This country is on the brink of a voleano, and an eruption that will shake and shat- ter, if not destroy it, is bound to follow un- less the people are afforded relief and that, too, at once, and I see but little hope of the relief being granted by the present pow- ers of national legislation.” And as if two @oses of such insepsate jabber was not sufficient for one day here comes Secretary of State Osborne, who declares that “there fs only one way to meet the oppression of the east, and that is by organization. We are prepared here in Kansas, and the peo- ple must look to the people's party for Buccor, as it ts the only party that dares spill blood in defense of their rights. Revo- Jution Is coming, and here we are fully prepared and will be more than ready when the time comes to strike the blow.” Now, if there was but one lunatic fn Kan- Sas no one would have cause for being dis- turbed, but when there is evidence of wide- spread insanity it is time for reasonable ieee anes to Bold themselves in readi- put the demented creatures where they can neither harm themselves nor other ———_++-—___ Not unnaturally there is considerable in- terest in and speculation as to the report which United States Minister Blount has made on the diplomatic situation in which this country and Hawail are most immedi- ately concerned. The document is said to be overdue, but {t ts quite possible that it arrived a day or two since and is now stowed away with other state Papers of im- portance in Secretary Gresham's big safe. ‘The trend of the recommendations Minister Blount is supposed to have made cannot even be guessed at, for at neither end of the line has there been a leakage, but the knowing ones who are politically and per- sonally in sympathy with the Georgian are inclined to believe that his hauling down the Stars and Stripes was an unmistakable in- ication of anti-annexation opinions. Sup- Porting this view at every point is evidence much more recent than the flag incident. All the minister's associations while on the islands were royalistic. He was, of course, adverse to their interests and brought joy to the hearts and smiles to the countenances of those whose hopes of ill-gotten wealth were paralyzed when the dummy monarchy set up by the gamblers was overthrown. More conclusive, perhaps, than any other testimony was the unswerving anti-Amer- ican, pro-lottery and pro-optum ring corre- spondence of Charles Nordhoft, who was nent to Hawaii by the New York Herald with the idea that the Herald could make impossible any league between the two countries. Mr. Nordhoff seems to have en- doyed Minister Blount's confidence to an ex- traordinary extent, and that he availed himself of the advantage was evident to those who read his eulogies of Liliuekalana! and her courtiers. It may be that AMiplster Blount’s actions were as a whole, merely a diplomatic cloak, as it were, and that his’| Yeport wil present many surprisingly lb~ eral features, but the prophet who would make such a forecast could not expect auch honor either in his own or in any other country. But, no matter what Min- ister Blount has to say, the supremacy of American interests in Hawail must be pre- served—a conclusion that can probably be reached by the establishment of a republic to be protected, so far as it needs protec- tion, by the United States. Under no cir- cumstances should the dummy monarchy of the gamblers and missionary haters be re- established, while to prevent European or Asiatic control the whole power of this gov- ernment should, if necessary, be freely ex- ercised. Out-and-out annexation is prob- ably not desirable, but in some shape the United States should have the power to protect American interests in a country that owes all it has in the way of civiliza- tion and prosperity to Americans. ———__ + +2 ‘The unexpected still continues to happen; and this time the happening is so extraord- inary that it demands attention. In The Star of Tuesday there appeared information to the effect that Gen. Grant, assistant secretary of war, had declined to grant to National Guardsmen employed in the War Department leave of absence with pay for the one day on which those men paraded for rifle practice although the law declares that department employes ordered out for duty shall not lose the time. It ts under- stood that the assistant secretary would have coincided with the statute had the day in question been used by the National Guard—arrayed in its best—for the purposes of @ street parade, which, from the military standpoint, is a worse than useless cere- money, but as the day was devoted to prac- tical instruction in the use of the fifte— necessary and commendable work—he will do his utmost to nullify the law. Surely the assistant secretary of war must be aware of the fact that annual parades have long since followed the old-time “training- days" and are never even dreamed of in communities where the national guard is alive, and as assistant secretary of war he must know that the word parade does not necessarily means a great public show. It is the belief of a great many people who have never achieved distinction in the War Department that a commanding officer may parade his troops for any one of half a dozen practical purposes and it may be of interest to officials generally to know that the Attorney General so decided more tlaan ® year ago. Whether that decision cam or cannot be upset by an opinion from the assistant secretary of war remains to be seen, and in the meantime wideawake and active soldiers will be at liberty to indulge in amazement at the attitude of an assist- ant secretary of war who seems willing to encourage ancient and useless display and anxious to discourage soldierly efucation. —__—__—_~sreoo as It would be unfair to a large propor- tion of those who are positively interested in the silver convention now in sessién at Chicago to even intimate that thetr in- tentioms are not serious. That hundreds of presumably sane men—some of them the possessors of prominent namnes—should as- semble and pay hall-rent and hotel bills without having before them a real purpose is not easily to be imagined. There has been @ supposition that the convention would be, satisfied if the government would sgree to exalt the value of fifty cents* worth of silver to a dolar, but it seeras now as though nothing short of human blood—flowing In rich and boiling torrents — will abate the mimic fury which was tu-n- e4 loose in Chicago this week. Igny.tius Donnelly was the first of the incer.diary orators, but he did not give himg=if full swing; in fact he sat down carY.er than was his original intent because, as he put it. he could not trust himself if he con- tinued any lover, but no such considera- tion affected the utterancer, of Colorado's fool governor, Davis H. Waite. He had already achieved a reputr.tion of which an arc%ist might be pror.d, but yesterday's Proceedings added several inches to the fonical cap his kind ore qualified to wear. He aasailed all the old political parties, Proved to his own shallow self and sev- eral r equally shallow that Beard him—that 4ll existing legislation was selves plays of fireworks and a grand musical and martial program every fine afternoon. But there are several Americans whose judgment ts ordinarily sound and whose views are really worth Jistening to who in- sist that this is a free and untrammeled republic, doing business without the aid of @ guardian. The governor's “ifs” are ab- surd, and to that there was more testi- |mony when in concluding his crimson- streaked speech, he shrieked “If the money power shall attempt to sustain its usurpa- tion of our rights by strong hands as in other lands, we will meet that issue if it is forced upon us. For it is better, in- finitely better, than that our liberties should be destroyed by tyranny that is oppressing mankind all over the world, blood, yea, blood to the horses’ bridles.” ‘The governor ought to purchase or hire another simile, for the people are weary of that “blood to the bridles” notion. Either let the purple flood roll over the saddle- eanties or else permit the fiery untamed steeds to splash through puddles of gore that will not climb higher than the animals’ knees. Every business man admits that silver has monetary rights, but if the friends of the white metal continue to give utterance to much more such idiocy they will alienate popular sympathy and compel vigorous antagonism. Jersey City policemen aze much too sensi- tive. John A. Schwartz, who resides in Jersey City, remarked in the hearing of Officer Archibald that “while there were some good men connected with the police force the majority of them were no good,” whereuon Officer Archibald collared John A. Schwartz and hauled him to the station- house. On the following morning the critic was released from custody and now he is going to sue the officious blockhead who deprived him of his liberty. If Officer Arch- ibald is a fair representative of the Jersey City force Mr. Schwartz's conclusion has been fullv justified. ——- ++ ____ The dog catchers of New York, Brooklyn and Long Island City are quarreling over alleged infringements on one another's ter- Titory.
