UNREPUBLICAN.

line Following piece of political doctrine
from the New York World will be COM
mended by believers in republican form
of government:
The propose THAT this government shall obtain
control of the Sandwich Islands, or any other
foreign and distant territory, is utterly unre-
publican.
The United States have abundant problems
10 solve in their efforts to govern themselves
and to transform the millions of emigrants
from monarchical countries into sound and
sensible democratic citizens.
Moreover, the government of a foreign an d
distant country by the United States can hardly
be in accordance with our republican institu-
tons. The executive will naturally be ap-
pointed at Washington, and while the local
Legislature may enact laws on purely local mat
ters the people will be largely governed by
congress-, in which, under our constitution,
they will not have a vote
Colonization schemes are not for a republic
We ought not to advocate self-government for
ourselves and arbitrary government for others
we have made a serious mistake in partici-
pallng IN this kind of rule in Samoa. We
should not emphasize it in Hawaii.
IL would be political solecism for this repub-
lie to undertake the task of ruling and taxing
unrepresented and non-voting subjects.
Inc problem that the schemers against
the people OF Utah are urging upon the gov
eminent is to transform American citizens
into species of political serfs, by disfran-
chisement, denial of the right to enter land
ETC.
AT present the territorial executive is
appointed at Washington, land while the
local legislature may exact laws on purely
local matte rs" the people are largely gov
erned by Congress, in which under the con
stltutlon they have not a vote
Self government is arbitrarily denied to
the people OF Utah; they are ruled and
taxed without representation in its true
meaning; and the local schemers do not
hesitate to demand that the majority of the
people of U tab shall not even vote in local
elections.
The fact is that territorial government,
In the case of Utah especially, IS a traves-
try on American ideas and forms OF gov
eminent. 1t has been urged in excuse for
territorial bondage that the territorial con-
dlton is understood to be merely tempo
rary and preparatory, and will be abo ished
as soon as the population shall be sufficient
and the local conditions suitable: but we
have heard so much of this theory without
ever coming any nearer to its practice that
the people of Utah have lost all interest in
the matter except as question of specula-
tive observation and comment.

make their government not only endurable
to their subjects, but even create in their
hearts an attachment for it. The liberty
OF mankind, however, is too preci
Gus to be left dependent on the
conduct of an individual or any
number OF them. Hence it has occurred to
men that their liberties should be guarded
by institutions based on principles recog-
nized as correct and government admins
tered by officers of their own choosing.
These are the bulwarks of liberty in mod
ern times, instead of the very uncertain
virtue OF clemency and moderation in indi-
vidual arbitrary rulers, and sacredly
should they be guarded
Nowhere in the world are these ideas
more universally accepted than in our own
land; and yet-is it not more than passing
strange!-in this very land is community
sufficient for an independent common
wealth. where they are not applied, but on
the contrary the SAID community is made
dependent largely, not only for much of its
liberty, but for its reputation abroad, upon
the clemency, truthfulness and honor of
satraps sent into its midst to administer
its affairs. Such are the conditions in
Utah. And what is worse yet, these men
sent into our midst to govern us without
our consent, do not even have the grace to
seek our interests or the honor to repre-
sent US truthfully' abroad. On the con-
trary they have ever conceived their own
interest to lie in direction exactly oppo-
site TO our own. 1t is to our interest to
secure our full measure of rights and lib
critics as American citizens; they have con-
sldered it to their advantage to keep US in
vassalage that they may rule over US, for
well they know if the choice for men to
administer the affairs of Utah were left
with the people, they would not be chosen.
IL would require men of very upright lives
and higher sense of honor than your or
binary politician possesses to sacrifice his
prospects for place and the emoluments of
offlce IN order 10 work for the interest of
a community upon which he is foisted as
an officer in spite of the re-
peated protests against the system
OF colonial government which per-
mlts him to be here. 1t is too
much to expect men reared in our Ameri-
can political life to do that. The men sent
as federal officials into our territory are
perhaps fair average of their class; but
what is Objectionable is for any one to be
sent to govern US. We prefer not to look
Tor the security of our liberties to the
fidelity, clemency and kindness of COVER
nors, or the honor of judges. Our liberties,
as those of all other citizens, should be
vouchsafed to US by American institutions;
laws of our own enacting, administered by
officers OF our own choosing And until
that is the case the growth of Utah is surs
to be retarded.

IN PHILADELPHIA there arises case of
discrimination on account of race which
should call for the active interference of
Senators HoAR and EDMUNDs. Until
short time ago FRED FORD was a colored
citizen of the City of Brotherly Love; but
now this same Mr.. FORD comes to the front
as EPHRArM ISRAEL and declares that he
wants to be what his new name assumes
that he is; in other words, that he desires
to be Jew. However, his wishes in The
premises do not avail, for the rabbi per-
emptorily refuses to admit him to the con-
gregation, and says further, in effect, that
the family of ABRAHAM shall not be in
creased by the adoption of colored children.
If this is not an outrage upon the man
and brother in whom Senator HoAR takes
such deep interest, we would respectfully
ask what 1t is! 1t should at least be made
the subject of a Congressional investiga-
tion

A SUGGESTION.

Ever since the present occupants of the
Whlte House entered the official residence
OF The nations President the dear good
''hrst lady of the land'' has made it part of
her duties to find fault with the mansion
1t IS, In her opinion, too small; 1t is not
well arranged; it is not properly drained:
IL IS unhealthy. In truth, it is bad alto
gether Now the good lady has picked m
suggestion of diphtheria in the place and
the charming mother of Baby Mckee hoe
touch OF tonsilitis, these two diseases
being directly attributable to the plants
from the conservatory which decorate the
rooms during receptions. At one time
Mrs. HARRISON went so far as to block
out for the guidance of an architect her
ideas OF the extension and Improvement
which she desired made, but her nlans
were not acted upon and the White House
remains practically as it was two wears
ago when the HARRIsoNs took up their
temporary residence in it.
Now, in the shadows cast by COMING
events we trust it will not be considered
meddlesome and offensive on our part If
we suggest that before the distinguished
family from Indiana went to live in the
Presidential mansion the White House was
occupied by small but decidedly
interesting and quite healthy family
from New York; and if our memory
IS not at fault never word of complaint
came from the pretty lips of Mrs. CLEyE-
LAND. That charming lady never dis
covered anything wrong with the drains.
never quarreled on account of lack of
room, never said the arrangement was
bad, and never found hints of diphtheria
and tonsilitis in the beautiful flowers with
which she delighted to decorate the rooms,
And again, as the charming New York
family which vacated the premises two
years ago, is about to respond to a popular
call to resume the occupancy of the man
sion, why would it not De good idea to let
the house alone, inasmuch as the place
seemed exactly suited to Mr. and Mrs.
CLEVELAND. True, it may be somewhat
annoying to the HARRIsoNs to reside in a
house which has furnished commodious
and altogether desirable home for so manv
common people; yet the distinguished In
dianians might put up with the inconveni-
ences for the short time they will be
called upon to endure the suffering and
danger. We merely throw this out as
hint,

WITHOUT kNow1Ne anything against ths

WITHOUT KNOWING anything against the
life or character of the Rev. DIR. PAssA-
Want, OF Chicago, we cannot but think that
he will bear watching. He is chief director
OF the Emergency hospital, and as such has
refused to accept for the institution $500
which was rendered as the proceeds of
acharity ball given and patronized by the
rich people of Chicago, The reverend gen
tleman is opposed to dancing, thinks it
wicked and regards it highly improper and
sinful that money which comes through the
Objectionable practice should be used for
charitable purposes. We say that when a
man becomes so truly good as this would
imply, it would be well to keep one eye on
him. He is liable to run away with an
other mans wife OF come out short when
he is called upon to account for the contri-
button box collections.

In THE light Of Senator INGALLS, explain
atory speech in the Senate on Thursday,
one can almost forgive the man for much
of the meanness of which he has been
guilty during the past eighteen years. The
Senator announced his opposition to the
infamous force bill, party measure though
it is and radical in his support of Repub-
lican propositions though he has always
been. When Republican bill is so vicious
that the Kansas statesman cannot approve
it, all the world will say that
the measure is bad indeed, and
should not prevail. Unfortunately for
INGALLS, his repentance comes too late to
avail. If he had delivered SO fair speech
previous to the election in November the
probabilities are he would not now he

feats which 1890 brought to Republicans.

NORTH HUDSON NOTES.

The Pioneer Hose, Of West Hoboken,
will give ball New Years Eve at the
Casino
One of the quaintest, most picturesque
and delightful homes in the world Ia
right in West Hoboken. It is called the
Castle" and was erected just before the
heginning of the late Civil War by Ben
jamin Day, son of one of the former
owners of the New York Sun. The
Castle is built of large blocks of rough
hewn stone In a square shape, and there
Is sturdy looking tower at the south
western corner. High narrow windows
fill up the sides and at the front two
large arched windows sweep the streets.
From the eastern exposure may be seen
New York with its steepies and towers,
and the river with it's myriad crafts passes
beneath. The "Castle'' looks like some
old manor house taken from some ancient
English grange ana set down right here
on the heights still enveloped in the de-
lightful sweetness of rural England.
Many of the residents of West Hobo
ken wonder why the library, which has
been closed these twenty years, still
wears the bars across iss doors to keep
out the people. The. dust has been upon
its volumes for Il decade, and not even
the sunlight is admitted into the dark
ened place.
The Hackensack Water Company are
treading rocky road just at present in
West Hoboken. The councilmen do not
pay bills with their eyes shut, and il they
did the Mayor would never close his.
There will be special services at the
Monastery Christmas Eve.

goodly share of encores nightly, and is
charming companion to the famous
nightingale song, of which the public
never seem to tire. A special matinee
will be given on Christmas for the Child

Santa Claus will distribute toys to them:
