To imply that the administration, as a part of the people of the United States, has earn- estly sympathized with the effort to estab- lish republican institutions in Hawaii, but has refrained, notwithstanding such sym- pathy, from actively interfering in behalf of such institutions because of a recogui- tion of the national policy of absolute non- interference, unless by agreement, with the affairs of other nations, falsify history. The policy of Mr. Cleve- tand involved, on the contrary, the most offensive sort of interference with the af- fairs of Hawaii and the attempt to over- throw these incipient republican institu- dtions and restore the deposed queen. An expression of earnest sympathy with the cause of municipal reform, coupled with an indorsement of the administration of Tam- many in maintaining that cause, would not be more stultifying and ridiculous. How- ever, the American people are not so much concerned with what is said, truly or falsely, about the administration's policy as with what is actually done with reference to Hawaii, A democratic Senate commit- tee has incorporated in the diplomatic ap- propriation bill a grant of $500,000 for a cable to be laid between this country and the Hawaiian Islands. The popular drift is all toward annexation. If the present Con- gress will take the practical action concer ing Hawaii which American interests re- quire it makes comparatively little diifer- ence what is sud concerning the attitude of the executive branch of the government toward the question. How would it do for Congress to indorse the administration's y of Hawaiian annexation and of ement to an American cable in tion to the British project, and then te in accordance with that policy? — 202s Many of the Mexicans who live al our southern border in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California are volunteering for service In the Mexican army shouid there be war with Guatemala. Viewing this position from‘the, it may be, seffish standpoint of purely North American civ- ilization, tt is to be hoped that Mexico oppo: to lexis will have something for these extremely anxious to do—anything that habitet, y. Although reside nts oters in the United States, «a very considerable propor- tion of & Mexicans in that region hate the ¢ and sneer at the gov- ernment ch it represents, save when United States treops compel a semblance of respect for its power. They are skill- ful evaders of our laws and regard as deadly mies those who make sincere effort to uphold the statutes by which Americans generally are controlled. If Mexico will only entice these men across the border and then set them in the bat- tle’s forefront until there are no sur- vivors it will earn and receive the lasting gratitude of peaceful citizens on the north side of the Rio Grande. —_¢ = —___—— While the leaders in Congress are trying to make up their minds as to what they imagine the country needs in the way of financial legislation, it might be well for the Heuse ani Senate—in session almost every week day—to give the District of Co- Tumbia the little law needed to place em- Pleyes of the District government. under civil service rules. Public sentiment here is almost unanimously favorable to tke eractment of such a law. President Cleve- lend would, if he had tne power, extend the existing civil service rules to those under local government, but he finds no autbcrity mm the statute for any such action and se tas been compelled to refer these most prominently active to Congress, from which, alone, relief can be had. It would be well for the Civil Service Reform Association of this city to at once open up @ campaign at the Capitol.

Rational ob- servers of the war have never had any deubt as to Japan's ultimate success, but it was imagined by a few that the Chinese weuld make a strong fight at Wei-Hai-Wel, for there they had the advantage of mod- ern fortifications defending positions that were excepticnally good. The detailed story is told elsewhere and in effect it does not diNer from the other narratives of con- | flict that have come from the seat of war. In all the varieties of military and naval werk the Japanese have shown themselves to be much more efficient than even the aunted regiments of Li Hung Chang and the officers and seamen of his exhibition battlestips and cruisers. From Shanghai comes infermation, that has the appear- ance of being reliable, that the British, French and Russian ministers at Tokio and at Pekin had received instructions from their governments to advise Japan and China to arrange terms of peace. For her own welfare, China cannot act too speedily on this ce. A dispatch from Chicago says that the soldiers at Fert Sheridan are very much dissatisfied at the quantity and quality of the focd served them in the post mess hall. it is quite likely that the discontent voiced by some of those who refused to partake of meals that they alleged were unfit for dogs has reasonable foundation, for since the consolidated mess system went into operation the enlisted man has fared much less satisfactorily than he did in the days when each company Lad its own mess. From a purely practical standpoint the censolidated mess system is all wrong, for it renders impossible the training of men for field cockery; more than that, it works injuriously by rendering more distant the relatior ship between the company com- mander and his mem. In many things non- essential our army has moved forward with great rapidity, but when the line of march is in the direction of real improve- ment the gait is decidedly funereal; once in a while we even retreat. 0 Another democratic organization has probably gore to pieces. Years ago the col- ored janitors and messengers at the New York state capitol at Albany banded them- selves together and declared themselves to Ee members of the David B. Hill Club. Since the election, the club has been phe- nomenally silent. on political matters, and doubtless hoped that it had been forgotten. Thursday the entire aggregation, from president down to the man who could not even be elected outside-doorkeeper, was summarily bounced. If the members follow the example set them by some of their office-seeking leaders, they will be within the republican fold and have republican applications on file inside of ninety days. ———_+ + > __ Mr. Breckinridge evidently overlooked the traditional congressional courtesy which permits neitrer side in an argument to enjoy the exclusive privilege of calling names. ——_ + += —__—_ One of the pathetic paradoxes of finance is the fact that there is much more buoy- ancy in a sirking fund than there is in a floating debt 0 -—__—_ The war report and the weather report are about equal rivals for the versatility championship. —__~+«+___ ‘The result of the effert to administer gas to the Delaware legislature is still eagerly awaited. a The strike bacillus appears to be of the intermittent variety.

The nation’s financial and currency sys- tems have been the prevailing topic in both houses of Congress during the week. The attack by Representative Breckinridge on Representative Heard yesterday during a dispute over the former's attempt to take the floor, which the latter prevented, was the seasation in the House. Mr. Gorman’s speech, in which he pointed out the gravity of the iinancial conditiongof the treasury, was the sensation in the Senate. The Sen- ate at once passed three important resolu- tions calling on Secretary Carlisle for in- formation concerning every detail bearing on revenues, reserves, deficiencies, etc. A special order was invoked in the House of Representatives to bring the bill to repeal the one-tenth of a cent differential duty imposed by the new tariff law on sugars imported from bounty-paying countries, and it was passed withuut amendment by a vote of 230\to 31. The House took up the Reilly bill to fund the debt due the gov- ernment from the Union Pacific and Kan- sas Pacific railroads with three per cent fifty-year bonds. Senator Peffer introduced a joint resolution fer a special popular election to ascertain the will of the people on financial questions. A warm debate took place in the Senate on party extrava- gance. Mr. Chandler, Mr. Platt and other republican Senators asserted that the ap- propriations fer this Congress would reach a million in excess of the billion appropri- ated by the Fifty-first Congress. The Sen- ate committee on foreign relations decided to report 2 bill for the reorganization of the consular service; the bill will extend civil, service ru to this service. Con- gressman Wilson was elected Senator from Washington. The deadlocks in Delaware, Idaho and Oregon continue. Warren F. Putnam, ex-president of the Exeter Na- tional Bank ef Concord, N. H., who was found guilty of embezzlement, was sen- tenced to five years in state's prison; his defalcation wrecked the bank. Joseph Greenhut, president, and-E. B. Lawrence were appointed receivers of the whisky trust. The will of James G. Fair disap- peared from the county clerk’s office in San Francisco. Throughout Mexico earth- quake shocks are keeping the inhabitants in a constant state of terror, A deficit of two thousand dollars was. discovered in the accounts of ex-Postmaster Phillips of Burlington, N.

The event abroad was the recent hor- rifying marine disaster. The North Ger- man-Lloyd steamer Elbe from Bremen for New York via Southampton was sunk in coliision with the British steamer Crathie, bound from Rotterdam for Aberdeen. The disaster occurred in the North sea about thirty miles off the Hook of Holland. It is estimated that 334 lives were lost. The Japanese have captured Wei-Ha‘-Wei, an- other of the Chinese strongholds. An ex- citing discussion in the French chamber of deputies was provoked by a motion to grant 20,000 francs to defray the funeral expenses of the late Marshal Canrobert. The grant was made, however, the vote standing 288 to 152. A difference on the tariff question has caused the resignation of the Norwegian ministry. President Faure of France, in an address to the dipio- matic corps, said that he would devote his efforts to maintain international peace. The Peruvian insurgents have seized Are- quipa. In the District. During the week the work of aiding the peor went forward, although the means at the disposal of the charitable agencies were much reduced; the doers of the Central Union Mission were closed for a time. A house-td-house canvass met with a favora- ble response. ‘The trial of Captain Henry W. Howgate, ex-disbursing officer of the signal service, for embezzlement, was be- gun. A notable gatherirg of represent. tive business men was held here, the oc- casion being the annval meeting of the national board of trade.

Alexander J. Jones, cre of Cook county’s representatives, has introduced a bill in the Illinois legislature cn the subject of hats. He is opposed to the wearing of large hats in theaters and he is going to regulate it by law. The bill makes it a misd2meanor for any person cccupying a seat in any ement to cbstruct the vision other patron by the wearing ov any jonnet or other unsightly head cover- ter having been notified to remove same. It requires the authorities of h pleces of amusement to secure the observance of the order, and they have power to remove ny person who violates the provisions of the act.
