The death of L. S. Senator John
Franklin Miller, of California, at
Washington, on the Sth, deprives
the Hawaiian Kingdom of an inhuen-
tial friend and advocate of the
Treaty. The S. f. Bulletin closes
an editorial on deceased, with the
following expressive sentences:
"There is no flaw in the record of
the deceased to vitiate his claim to
the possession of those qualities,
which are summed up in the verdict:
A man of character and ability, who
was always found equal to any posi-
ton to which fortune and his fellow
men assigned him. California loses
in him an able, earnest and tried re-
preventative in the Upper Chamber
of our National Legislature.

A correspondent of the Newcastle
Chronicle writes: ''It is said that
Mr.. Gladstone has changed his
mind about early dissolution. If
the Lords reject one or the other of
the Irish bills, he will hold an autumn
session to pass it the second time in
the Commons, as was done with the
Franchise and Redistribution bills.
If the Peers should throw out the
measure a second time it will be
passed by the Commons the third
time. and if again, the rejected reso-
luton will follow in the spring next
year. The Prime Minister thinks
that the people want to be educated
about Home Rule and that the dis
cussion in Parliament will have the
effect of enlightening them. The
talk will probably have the effect
also of wearying Englishmen OF
Irish matters, and they may be in
duced in the end, out of sheer lassi-
tude' and indifference, to vote fol
the ministerial proposals."
