Sienna ean Letters te THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Busi- mess Department, according to their character or purpose, not any indi- vidyal connected with the office. This is the era of rumors. It is now whis- pered that President Cleveland has recently devoted several hours to a thorough and conclusive examination of American his- tory of the revolutionary period; that he has made up his mind unalterably that the grounds set up by the colonists to justify their revolution were and are trivial and imadequate; and that as a beneficiary of the unlawful ard abhorrent acts of George Washington and his fellow-conspirators,and as a successor of the said Washington in @ government founded upon force, foreign interference and an unjustifiable revolt against constituted authority, he conceives it to be his duty to right the great wrong done to good King George by his stiff-neck- ed and rebellious subjects, a crime in re- sbect to which this government has not merely been an accessory after the fact, but im one form or another was an active principal. It is asserted that these views of the President, withheld from the Ameri- can people, have been submitted in accord- ance with his habit to Great Britain's in- sSpection, and that her gracious Majesty has been pleased to signify her entire sat- istaction with them. Sir Julian Paunce- fote, however, is, it is said, oppressed with doubts, not shared by the President, con- cerning the practicability of restoring things in statu quo, and is uneasy lest the American people in some sudden and in- explicable whim should refuse to be thus disposed of, and should resent the secret trial, conviction and punishment by repri- mand and reversal of previously honored past occupants of the presidential chair. It is understood that Sir Julien suggests, in preference to an American re-enthrone- ment of the successor of King George, the adoption by the President of a policy which will cause this country to pay permanent tribute to Great Britain as one of its trade and commercial dependants; reversing in England's interest the reciprocity, subsidy and other policies by which we were to build up trade for ourselves in the other Americas; breaking down in England's in- terest the frowning tariff barriers designed to protect local industries; and moulding our foreign policy in accordance with Eng- Ush suggestions, to this end filling the dip- lomatic service with republic-despising mon- ocled Angiomaniacs, and restoring a pro- English Queen in Hawall. Unquestionably this is the era of rumors. . ——-<+ + —___ To the District tax payers it does seem more than strange and an unreasonable hardship that coincident with financial stringency of the least yielding sort there should come an increased valuation of tax- eble property and a demand for more money than it is either just to exact from the contributors or necessary for the mu- kado system, with its boiling oi} and hot pincers, would just about fit the case. But preliminary to disposing of the “Slasher,” the local public appreciates keenly the ap- plication of the moral contained in the fa- mous old recipe which urges the prospective cook to start out by first catching the hare. —_+ += —___—_. The little group of newspapers who de- fend the administration's Hawaiian policy are talking about historical precedents that are alleged to fit the present situation. They refer to the enthusiasm of President Taylor in quelling the Lopez effort to cap- ture Cuba and oust the Spanish power, show how President Grant also refused to give countenance to filibustering efforts directed against the same island and com- mend President Johnson's activity in the suppression of the Fenian raid on Canada. Just how any of the cases quoted begin to parallel the situation in Hawaii is not explained. None of the revolutionists who sought to conquer Cuba or possess them- selves of Canada had secured possession nor was their government once recognized by the United States; they were unsuccess- ful adventurers without a dollar's worth of material interest In the dominions they were after. In Hawaii the revolution was the direct result of savage disregard of all that was good and civilized and the revolu- tionists were more deeply interested in the welfare of the Islands than was the disso- lute queen herself. The government or- ganized by the revolutionists was recog- nized by every foreign power that had a diplomatic representative at Honolulu and to it President Cleveland sent two min- isters of the United States who were either friendly toward the provisional government or disgracefully hypocritical. If the admin- istration cannot find any better variety of | Justification than its so-called friends have produced in the shape of these “prece- dents” it is in a deep hole indeed.

It is true that when the assessment now so gen- erally complained of was made there was no apprehension of the commercial paraly- sis which has since developed, but it cannot be denied that no matter how long the period of prosperity might have lasted the sssessment which the taxpayers of the Dis- trict are now called upon to pay is much greater than it should be. Many who are deeply interested in taxation beileve that the irregularities and excessive valuations are sufficient in number to warrant a new assessment, but whatever action in that direction may seem advisable it is neces- sary to devise first some means of correct- present excessive assessment. A new as- sessment to become operative at some time im the future may be necessary for the wel- fare of the Washingtonians who will be paying taxes at that future time, but what ts Row essential is some device which will lighten the burden of the present assess- ment upon the present taxpayers. Assessor Trimble’s suggestion of legislation authoriz- ing the appointment of a board of three citizens with power to revise and equalize @ssessments should be acted upon, and a very radical revision should be applied to the present assessment. For the future a permanent board of assessors should be pro- vided. ———_+ e+ -——_ One of the kindliest spirits that ever achieved public prominence, one of the good, solid Americans whose conduct was ever creditable and whose sunny nature made him countless friends, went to his reward when the immutable decree was served on Jeremiah McLain Rusk. Physi- cally massive, mentally of great breadth and depth, and with sympathies that over- flowed in response to every genuine appeal and many appeals that were not genuine, he achieved popularity of the supreme type and deserved it all. As a soldier and statesman he rendered the country nota- ble service. Republican in every fiber, he ‘was patriotic before he was anything else; democratic in the boundless sense, he was a@8 peculiarly of the people as was Abraham Lincoin. Through thirty or more years of political association he preserved his char- acter without stain and without losing a friend whose friendship was worth having. A glorious yet unobtrusive career has end- ed and one of the greatest of America’s citizens has gone to meet his Maker with hands that are clean and a heart that knew nothing but good will toward all mankind. ———_+ «= One or two of the southern newspapers have tried to prejudice themselves and | their readers against the provisional gov- 1 ernment of Hawaii by viewing it as “a. carpet bag government” and subjecting it | as such to the customary denunciation.

The Reign of the Short Story. “Are you fond of short stories?” asked jinx. “No,” replied Banx, “I hear too many of them. Nearly everybody I meet wants to borrow money of me.” The time is not far distant when Johnny- boy will say that it’s altogether too cold for him to make a trip to the wood pile, and then go straight out and build a snow fort. Inconsistent. “What an inconsistent creature a woman is, to be sure!” the young man exclaimed, “What's the matter now?” “Miss Riter Fas just sent me a note, signed ‘in haste’ and delivered by a district messenger boy.” ba The Tough Turkey. “I'm old and tough,” the turkey sighed. “One joyous thought now greets me; *Tis of the trovble I can give To any one that eats me.” What She Wished. “Dear me,” said the girl with black snap- py eyes, “I wish I was a foot ball player.” “What do you mean?” asked her mother, aghast. “Just what I say. I wish I was a foot ball player, and that hateful, snippy little Sallie Giggles was on the other side.” It Often Happens So. “So that’s Josia’s picter thet ye had tuk in the city,” said Mrs. Corntossel’s visiter. “Yes.” “Wal, I can’t say thet it looks much like "Siar. It hez a skeery expression ‘round the eyes, an’ a drawed look aroun’ the mouth thet ain’t nachural. An’ I never saw his hair like thet in all my born days.” “Yes,” answered Mrs. Corntossel, “Josiar did wanter go to the photograph man, an’ git his money back, but I told him they wan't no use o’ doin’ it. I was just ez dis- app’inted ez he was, but I can’t deny ez thet’s how he looked when the picter was tuk.” —___ +++ __ _ Blount Obeyed Orders. From the New York Tribune. Mr. Blount’s report shows that he did precisely what he was sent to the islands to do. He was commissioned to make out a case against Minister Stevens and the pre- vious administration, and he obeyed orders. He makes a really pitiful apology for not presenting a stronger case by declaring | that he was “surrounded by persons inter- ested in misleading” him. The information which he presents was obtained in large part from people in close relations with the queen, and is in direct contradiction of the statements made by Minister Stevens, Capt. Wiltse and numerous other trustworthy wit- nesses. As against these entirely credible witnesses Blount’s allegations are of littie but his young warriors desire to fight. Per- haps the football game could be introduced among them with wholesome results in the way of working off belligerent enthusiasm. ——_+ ++ ____ It is possible that Hawaii, unannexed, will succeed in making this country’s teg- islature quite as much trouble as she could if she were a part of the republic. ——__ wee The effort of a woman to be a Jack-the- Slasheress is carrying the thing a little too far. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the agitated and indignant public of Washington to declare in advance of his| capture that there is no punishment in the law adequate for the many crimes of the mysterious “Slasher.” This tendency to sentence the criminal before he is caught and convicted shows perhaps the intense feeling that has been wrought by his ma- raudings. There are so many theories as to just what is or would be righteous in his ease that they would form an interesting chapter ali by themselves. It is sutfti- cient to say here that they range all the way from imprisonment for ten years to lynching. The latter idea is abhorrent, and; even though the law should lack just that peculiar degree of exquisite punishment, which certainly these fiendish crimes de-| serve, It is not wise at such a time to en- courage the thought that lynch law can ever take root fn this community. Should the “Slasher” be given a cumulative sen- tence for all the hideous work that has been ascribed to him, he would probably importance; but if all he says were true, it would afford no justification whatever for | the use of the power of the United States }in re-enthroning the deposed and dissolute Liliuokalani. ——-+ +> —.
