Yet without the substan tial servico she rendered in laying the first Atlantic cable it is more than likely that Cyrus W, Field would not have been able to have as speedily completed the great profeet that rendered his name historically brilliant. Though supplied with the most improved machinory of that day she was a slow, unwieldly hulk, entirely unfitted for the transportation purposes for which she was intended. But since that time improvements in naval construction and steamer engine machinery have overcome the obstacles encountered by her builders, and demon- strated the advantage of ships for- ccean traffic. The new steamship Campania, which has just proved such a success on the Cu- nard line, is only sixty feet shorter than the great Atlantic cable payer-out. But her combined engine horse power is about 30,000, while the Great engines were driven by only 7,500 horse power. And now the White Star line, which was ono of the first ocean trans- portation companies to introduce im- provements in the character of Atlantic passeng ships, will add to her fleet a vessol, the Gigantie, that is to be even longor than the 2 What with palace vestibule railroads on land, and immense floating palaces on the sea, the modern itinerant public \ve in a fortunate age indeeds If such a law largo Fastern's s00n | tieally al) the I ! represent the gigantic corpor | havo been organized b | basis, { hav 05 should | | failure of which to meot | ized in 1890 for the parpose of absorbing | all the e« i ostablishing | vestors { had to mbines in, | | the case of all | big Hawaii | | that they | no warrant issurance that his labors in | in tuemoil at the | THE WEAK ividenco all streot any months of cenritics as a speculative investment, that of the last few days being the strongest and most significant. »s incident to the | confined to the class “industrials,” which ons that the past five them on a monopolistic riot lines combinations an abundant various pre- ESS UF TRUSISECUIR TIES !

No tatesman ever worked with greater zeal and industry to secure legislation than marked the efforts of Chancellor Caprivi in behalf of this bill, and his failure must bring him at once u loss of prestige and a sense of personal humiliation, He had exhausted every at his command and made every appeal that could affect the national patriotism, even going to the extent of referring to his enemy, Prince Bismarck, whom he char- acterized as “the greatest diplomatic genins in several centuries,” as having 1 rded the strengthening of the as an absolute sity. The rejection of the bill, de- clared Caprivi five days ago, would adversely affect the political situation. “In fact,” ho said, “it was an open ques- tion whether at the present moment the army was strong enough to take the offensive even against France alone. The rejection of the bill will ere abroad an impression that there is we: ness here.” Other equally ments were made by the chancellor in Justification of the demand of the gov- ernment for this legislation, but as the result shows, without. effect, or at any rate, with so little as to be of no value, The immediate dissolution of the Reichstag was in pursuance of the policy of the government announced before the vote was taken on the army bill. The new election will take p! June 15, and in the meantime political affaivs in Ger- many will be edingly active and will command the interested attention of all Furope, pecially of France and Russia. It now secems probable that the vesult will be unfavorable to the govern- ment. The majority against it in the Reichstag to be overcome is large and tho popular sentiment of the country opposed to inereasing the burdens of the army establisment is belived to have been steadily growir Thor evidence, indeed, that which are hostile to the military policy of the government, as it has been dovel- oped by the present emperor, have gained in force and influencs nd the vietory / have achieved in the parliament not to be doubted they will exert effort to supplement by one equally decisive at the ballot box., What may be the consequences should the government suffer defeat in the eloc- tion? It is not easy to foresee, hut accepting the statements and confessions of Caprivi as being candid it is to be inferred that the consequencas might be serious. If indeed the German army, at present constituted, is not equal in quantity and quality to any emergency thut might arise, as the chancellor is re- ported to have said, it is among the pos- resource seen army neces- strong state- ace exe @ is abundant the elements as e er— THE o— sibilities that the enmies of CGevmany [ would find early opportunity to put her | military power to the test.

THEPOLITICIAN AND THE PARTY PRESS According to John L. Webster the newspaper proprictors and editors are the only parties who make money out of politics. Mr. Webster ovidently knows a gooa deai more about law than he does about newspapers. Forty years ago the political editorand the party organ had to be subsidized in every campaign and political patronage was the chief, if not the sour of sustenance for the party press. This condition of mutual dependence has long since passed away. No metro- politan daily of standing derives any material benefit from political cam paigns. The income of a leading daily is strictly commercial In the past ten yours THE B has paid out for reportovial work and political corvespondence by mail and wire for v dollar it has received in return from campaign clubs, committees and candidates, Instead of being profitable, political campaigns arve a of profitiess labor and absolute in dol- < and cents to the publisher of every well-established A cam- paign tends to offend and drive away advertisers and subscribers who huppen to be on the opposite side of politics and makes the task of up a steady line of patronage very cult and expensive. Mr. Webster and other politicians who imagine that a successful paper owes its prosperity to party patronage and sup port have never thought of the draw- backs of campaign polities to the paper that must depend upon all classes of the community for its income, WHAT OF HAWAIL? [t is impossible to get a satisfactory answer to this question from the diverse statements and opinions of the paper correspondents at Honolulu. ability of these gentlemen to give the sitnation wholly different aspects, with apparent candor and truthfulness, and to present diamotrical Opposite clusions, is as remarkable as plexing. One says that the course of Commissioner Blount has had the effect to weaken the provisional government so ously that a conflict with the royalists is sure to come in the commissioner leaves the islands with- out giving positive instruetions for the upholding of the present goyernment. He states that the provisional army can- not be counted on unless well paid, for it is made up of adventurers who would sell out to the royalists, and he it is asserted that the royalists will seize the government the moment Blount leave: Another correspondent, equally entitled to credence, declares that the provisional government is far stronger than ever before—strong be- yond the possibility of overthrow. Future nts may force a reorganization of the present government, but “the restora- tion of the monarchy is not an admitted possibility.” The American people may choose between these statements accord- ing to their prejudices. Commissioner Blount is expected to leave Hawaii for the United States in about two weeks, and it is to be pre- sumed that he is already in poss full instructions from this gov as to what course to pursue befor ing awa from the islands order to secure the protection of American inter there. That he will do anything intended to uphold the provisional government on the one hand, or on the other hand to promote the restoration of the monarchy, is not at all probable. Although Mr. Blount has shown genuine dipiomatic reserve and caution since his arrival in Hono- lulu he has made it sufliciently obvious that his instructions required him to purstie an absolutely impartial polic, and it is safe to predict that he will maintain this attitude to the end of his mission. It is manifestly the purpose of this government not to interiere with the parties in the Hawaiian islands, ex- capt so far as may be necessary to the protection of American rights and inter- ests there, and it is a fair presumption that cach party is equally disposed to respect these. If the provisional go ernment is strong enough to maintain itself it will be given full opportunity to do so, but it must expect no help from this government. Meanwhile, popular sentiment in this country, though interest in the Ha- iian question has abated, is stronger today in opposition to than ever before, and this f; is undoubtedly understood by the administration. Most thought- ful men realize that the action of the preceding administration in this matter was hasty and ill-advised and tens of thousands who favored annexation when it was first proposed now see that it would bea grave mistake for this coun- try from every point of view. soie, ove source newspap eping news- The con- it is per- case ssion of rnment com- in s be of interest to eve viving veteran of the late war, « ially to those who took part in famous battles around Chattanooga know that the government is ar for the purchase of a large Mis and the mountain to make parks of them.

According to his vigorous plan, “A large amount of imports now dutiable must ba entively d from taxation, and all of those teft to taxation must be lueed ates as not to hinder importation.

The conglomer: strictly unique as well as aboriginal Nothing like it has ever been attempted in the domain of political jourralism, and probably neyer will be. In many respects it reminds us of the artist who labeled the pi¢tire he had drawn on canvass: ““This is a cow.” In the same manner the composer of the symposium introduces the ‘#minent statesmen he quotes with a pedigree that even a blind man could see;and a deaf man could hear.
