An eloquent political writer
says, God writes asses against
the Democratic Congressman who
support the President in his per-
.nicious silver policy" On princi-
pile the gentleman is undoubtedly
correct; but Mt the same time it
must be remembered that if God
would write lass" against the
name of a Congressman every
time the honorable member does
a oolish thing, the Celestial Con-
gressional Directory would soon
be mistaken by visitors for u live
stock journal.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

+ - 'fi-'
We are literally frozen up and
"snowed in III this beautiful city
of marble buildin The spark
ling of the snow ystals by the
light of the moon, and the looming
up of the beautiful proportions Of
the Capitol on its high elevation,
and the other public buildings Of
marble and granite imparts fairy
like scene to the city. The jung
ling of sleigh bells and merry
laugh Of excited drivers add great
Fly to the gay scenes Of the other
wise unusually gay season. Such
continued extreme cold and SO
much snow has not been seen in
Washington for ten yeors. Slelghs
that have been in stock for seven
years haye.a!l been sold, and just
now one Is not to be had for love
or money. Last Wednesday there
WIS carnival ON Pennsylvania
Avenue from the Capitol to the
White House, and although the
Avenue is 100 feet wide it was
hardly wide enough for the sleighs
ON it. The police laws appear to
have been set aside fer the time,
and racing on the finest thorough
fare in the world was engaged in
to the hearts content. The SIS
miles Of asphalt pavement that
Washington boasts ofwhen cover
led with even a light snow affords
the finest sleighing in the world,
and whenever we have the rare
treat Of a good snow all the cutters
of tho livery stablemen are in ac-
tive demand day and night at the
chilling price of S. 90 an hour,
and are hard to get at even that
figure.
There seems to be no doubt now
but that Congress will be called
ON to contribute some part of the
81, 100000 TO be expended in erect
ing a monument to Gen. Grant in
Riverside Park, \. Y. This ought
not to be. If the wish Of the peo-
pie of the whole country had been
respected by making the Nations
Capital the burial site, everybody
would have voiced the appropria-
ton of the whole $l,000,0O0. But
since New York City pushed its
claims and insisted on having the
honored dead with her, and prom
ised the grand monument, now let
her wealthy magnates make good
their promise. In this connection
it may be stated that it is not be-
lieved here that the bill will pass
Congress which was introduced in
the Senate last week, appropriate
ing 500, 900 a year for ten years
for each of two monuments similar
to the Washington Monument to
be erected to the memory Of Lln-
coin and Grant,
The decision of Secretary Lamar
in recommending the institution
Of suit to test the validity of the
Bell Telephone patent was not Il

had an intimation of what the de

fore it was announced, and endeav-
ored to change it by having Ex-

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.

By the Mariposa for San Francisco we
have later news from Samoa. Mr.
Berthold Greenebaum, United States
Consul at Apia, was on board, on leave
of absence to visit the Coast on account
of his health. Mr.. Greenebaum states
that everything is quiet in the Samoan
group, political unrest having been prac-
tically terminated by his action in hoist
ing the American flag as a protecting
power during the visit OF the German
Admiral and his squadron. This act
having been acquiesced in by the
English Consul, and accepted by the
German representative, there was moth
ing more to be said or done but to wait
action thereon by the Governments at
Washington, London and Berlin. One
assuring feature has been that property
has increased in value and that trade
has become more active since the ex-
pectation OF German annexation passed
away. 1t is now conceded upon all sides
that no further attempts towards that
end will be made. There is a strong
and growing feeling towards closer trad
ing and political relations with this
Kingdom, and the occasion appears to
be favorable for drawing the two COM
munities together. Samoa has great UNI
developed capabilities, and should its
trade center at Honolulu, as it may
ultimately be made to do, at least to
very large extent, the business and
shipping interests of this port would
be proportionately benefited. Consul
Greenebaum had interviews with His
Excellency Mr.. Merrill, United States
Minister Resident, and also with Consul
General Putnam, during his short so
iourn here yesterday. 1t should be
added that the newly commissioned
German Consul for Samoa was landed at
Tutuila by the Msriposa on her present
trip.

NEWS BY THE MARIPOSA.

The news by the Mariposa is not very
exciting. In some respects, however, it
is of interest to this country. 1t appears
that the New Hebrides question is by no
means settled, and that Earl Roseberry,
the English Foreign Secretary, has or
dered that British warships shall remain
at the New Hebrides until the French
troops have been withdrawn. His Lord
ship holds to the opinion that the facts
presented did not justify military occu-
patton of that country by the French, in
view of the Convention regarding it
between France and England. A feeling
of irritation has been created in France
by this action, to which expression is
given by the French press, but we can
not suppose it probable that any serious
complications will arise between the
two Governments upon such an issue.
1t was a mistake to suppose that Eng
land would acquiesce in French occupa-
ton of the New Hebrides, as had been
done in respect of other islands in the
Pacific. This might have happened if
the Colonial 0ONtT1IuiclltS ustC ilOi bCSli
interested, but it was clearly out OF the
question when their interests and policy
came to be considered. III future, there
fore, Australasia is factor in the inter
national politics of the Pacific which
the Powers must always take into ac-
count. The great communities, consti-
tuting Australasia as a political entity,
are self-governing commemorative, and
have policies OF their own that are not
always in accord with Imperial aims, as
outlined by one or other dominant po-
Iitical party in England, although their
LOYALTY to the Crown cannot be doubted.
In this particular case, "hands off Is
the decision of the Colonies, and the
Home Government feels itself con-
strained to sustain them.
The general election in the British
Isles has proved to be disastrous to
Gladstone, although if the figures in our
news dispatches are correct the Tories
are in minority upon all questions eX-
cept that of Home Rule for Ireland. The
total Tory vote in the House of Com
mons is 3I6, which falls considerably
short of majority, counting in eighty
five Parnellites with Gladstone's follow
ing. 1t seems that the Unionists will
not ioin forces with the Tories, and this
looks as if a Coalition Ministry would
hardly be formed. One cannot safely

British POIitics-ResHIt OF the GEN
eraI Election.

LONDON, July I7th.-The whole of the
elections are now completed. They have
resulted in the return OF 316 Conservatives,
Is Unionists .191 Gladstonites, IS Parnellites.
A petition has been lodged against the re-
turn of Mr.. Alex. Macarthur for the Buck
rose division of Yorkshire. Sir Evelyn
Ashley, who was Under Secretary for the
Colonies in the previous Gladstone Ad-
ministration, has been defeated.
1t is expected that the Ministry Will
tender their resignation Immediately, but
it is considered unlikely that a coalition
will be effected between the Conservatives
and Unionists.
The Marquis of Harrington has declined
to accept Mr.. Gladstone's suggested modi-
fcation of the Home Rule proposals.
Mr.. Gladstone's letter to the press indi-
Gates tendency to a repeal of the Union,
and 10 the abolition of the House of Lords.
Mr.. Goodwin Smith asks whether such a
man, in the frame OF mind Gladstone Is,
is fit to deal with Ireland.
The Times" denounces Mr.. Gladstone 5
travesties of history as baseless, and the
charges made by him against his opponents
as unfair. 1t also considers that he attacks
many of his old friends. Many of the Eng
lish journals follow in the same strain, and
say that the vuIgarity of his epithets is
turning his defeat into personal humilia-
ton.
\ manifesto issued by Ford of the Irish
World advises Mr.. Parnell to make the
House of Commons the laughing stock of
the world.

speculate upon this point, however, and
it is possible that the next mail may
bring advices to the effect that Lord
Salisbury has gone into political partner
ship with Lord Harrington, which would
simply mean the absorption OF the great
WING houses by the Tories, to whom
they have been opposed since the days
of the Stuarts. Mr.. Gladstone is said to
be drifting into antagonisn to the House
Of Lords This is what the ADVERTISER
anticipated as probable step for the
great Liberal leader TO take. Unques-
tionably Gladstone is the grandest per-
sonality in the British Empire to-day
among subjects OF the Crown, despite his
defeat at the electoral urns, and should
his life be prolongued ne will accomplish
even greater things than he has as yet
achieved. The march OF events is rapid
now. Progress in politics must keep
pace with progress in science and mate
rial things. Home Rule must soon be
settled, and then the Radical leaders
will storm the citadel OF privilege the
House OF Lords.

The MariDOSR.

The Royal Mail steamship MaripOsa
arrived in port at o'clock Sunday
morning, from the Colonies. She left
Sydney, July 18th, and Auckland on
the 10Th Three days out from the lat
ter place she met the Mararoa, the lat
ter vessel being right on time. A boat
was lowered and file of late New Zea-
land and Australian papers taken to
Captain Edie, who returned a file of late
Honolulu and San Francisco papers to
Captain Hayward. The Mariposa ar
rived at Tutuila on the 24th, and landed
Mr.. G.. Travers, the German Consul at
Samoa, who was a passenger from Sgd
ney. She took on board at the same
place as passenger to San Francisco
Mr.. Berthold Greenebaum, United
States Consul at Samoa. Between Tu-
tuila and Honolulu the Mariposa was de-
Iayed some twelve hours, owing to slight
repairs to her machinery. She brought
one passenger and a small quantity OF
freight for this port, and had in transit
for San Francisco ffty-one saloon and
forty-one steerage passengers, thirty-fve
hundred packages of freight, and specie
valued at $1O,175. After taking on pas
sengera, freight and the mails, she left

The bishop of Madagascar.

Among the passengers by the Mari
posa on Sunday was the Right Reverend
DR. r. X. Kestell Cornish, the Anglican
Bishop of Madagascar. The Bishop has
been in the Colonies raising subscrip-
tons in aid of the church work, which is
being carried on in Madagascar. Six
years ago he collected in England $25 900
towards the cost of erecting a cathedral
at Antananarivo, the capital of NADIA
gascar. The Bishop, during his stay
here, was the guest of the Bishop of Ho-
nolulu. He attended the 6 80 and 9 30
O'Clock services at st. Andrews Cathe-
dral Sunday morning. One pleasant
feature of the Bishops short stay in this
city was his meeting with an old school
fellow in the person of Major Wodehouse,
IL. B. NJ. Commissioner. They were at
Brasenose College, Oxford, together.
The Bishop left on the Mariposa and
goes direct to England.

The Pacific Cable Project.

a meeting took place July 18th between
the Upper Canadian Commissioner and the
Agents General of all the Australian Colo
MES except New South Wales. Secrecy is
observed as to the proceedings, but it is
understood that nothing was decided in
regard to the proposal for telegraph ca
bic across the Pacific.
Mr.. r. II. Want, solicitor for New
South Wales in London, and Mr.. Fleming
agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company, were present at a meeting be-
tween Sir Charles Topper and the Agents
General. Mr.. Fleming explained that
92 800, 900 would be required to lay a cable
between Vancouver Island and New Yea
land or Queensland; also that a subsidy of
867 900 pounds would be required from the
Colonies and England. and he believed that
the latter country was likely to contribute
a third of the subsidy, provided that Gov
eminent business was free if it did not ex-
coed the amount of the subsidy. Sir
Arthur Blyth, Agent for South Australia,
withdrew, after stating that he opposed
the scheme
