1t provides for a military post for
cavalry and artillery at Swanton juno
ton on the Vermont border, near the
eastern shore of Lake Champlain. This,
in connection with the bill recently re.
ported for enlarging the military post at
Plattsburg, on the west shore Of Lake
Champlain, will furnish the means for
such prompt and effective advance on
the Canadian canals in case of war with
England as would prevent her gunboats
from passing into the lakes. This is the
vital question in defending the lake
cities 1t needs little comment to en-
force its Importance ON every intelligent

Mr.. Cleghorns influence especially since the
accession of Liuakalani, has been exerted WIN
much moro zeal than discretion to bring about
British Hawaiian connection injurious TO Ameri-
can interests and there seems to be no douDJ
that he has had the active aid OF the British
consular officers. These gentlemen, with the
SUPPORT of the late Hawaiian Attorney-General
who was Canadian by birth, were able, against
the advice of every other member Of King
Kalakaua's Cabinet, to induce him to refuse the
royal assent to Mr.. Blaine's treaty by which
the Hawaiian question might have been perma-
nently settled This convention conferred upon
Hawaii the inestimable boon of full commercial
union with this country, and placed the conduc1
Of Hawaii's foreign affairs in the hands OF the
American Government. Had this arrangement
been contaminated there would have been no
interruption of Hawaii's commercial prosperity
as a result of the new American tariff, but, on
the contrary, a fresh inflow Of American capital
for the development of the islands. The sac
rifices we have already made for their benefit
would have been largely increased.
Unless the unfriendly ACTIVITY OF English
agents is summarily stopped, and unless uncon-
ditional assurances are given by the British
Government that it will scrupulously regard the
independence of the Hawaiian people, it is PLAN
that their almost unanimous desire for annexa-
ton to the United States must be precipitated
into our councils as a practical and immediate
question. The growth of our Pacific States, the
fact that 90 per cent of Hawais trade comes
into and goes from their ports, the enormous In
yestments of American capital in Hawaiian en-
erprises, the position of the islands in the path
of our Chinese and Australian commerce, their
strategic Importance and their political and
commercial relation to the Nicaraguan Canal
combine to render it absolutely necessary for us
to take such steps as will insure US against their
absorption into foreign colonial system.

THE HAW1IIAN QUESTION.

Disquieting reports as to the Intervention of
British agents in the affairs of the Hawaiian
Kingdom have been heard with increasing fire.
quency since the death of Kalakaua. 1t would
seem as if the often-prOclaimed position of the
United States with regard to Hawaii ought to
be guarantee against movements to bring the
islands under European influence. England,
Germany and France have successfully been
informed, and in terms Enthusiastically clear, that
the American Government will not permit the
transfer of Hawaiian sovereignty to any Eu-
ropean State and that diplomatic or semi-diplo-
matte intrgues leading to such 4 result will be
regarded as unfriendly to this Government.
When the geographical position and the COM
mecial relations of Hawaii are considered, it is
surprising how often in the last forty years
we have been under the necessity of repeating
this declaration. Its propriety is so obvious as
matter of self-protecton, not to speak of
natural interest that one would think it would
be acquiesced in by the Powers of Europe with
out hesitation or reserve. And yet we were
once compelled on Hawaii's account to threaten
France with an actual interruption of friendly
relations, to warn Germany that we should in
terfere forcbly, if necessary, to protect Hawaii
constant succession of complaints and remon-
strances concerning the misconduct of her con-
sular and naval officers at Honolulu. France and
Germany have ceased to trouble us, but it seems
as if England were bent upon pushing US, for tho
protection of our interests into the assertion of
a new relation toward Hawaii. This will not
be done without reluctance, for the United
States stih indispOsed to extend their sover-
eighty beyond the sea, but England may be
well assured that it will be done if circumstances
arise that force us to choose between that course
and allowing European garrison to plant itself
in our path across the Pacific.
Dispatches from Honolulu report that the
health of the new Queen, Liuakalani, is in
precarious state, that all kinds Of intrigues are
brewing, and that, as usual, British agencies arc
the most active and aggressive. The accuracy

At PARNELDS CRAVE.

Mr.. Parnell's personal followers have sought
to exclude those who rebelled against his au-
thorty at Westminster from participation in
the funeral pageant in Dublin. Their resent
ment is natural, if unfortunate. Emboldened
by the signs of universal grief in Ireland. they
assume that popular reaction against the Nc
Carthy camp has set in, and that they can build
up great party upon the memory Of what was
ignoble in their chief. This is transitory
hallucnation. They might hope as reasonably
to create verdant meadow by scattering grass
seed on the broken level OF an iceberg adrift
on the ocean. Mr.. Parnell, while he was alive
and lending to their faction his unriyalled au-
thority, could not put them in majority in any
constituency contested by them Without him
they can do nothing. Their fidelity to him in
his self-wrOught disgrace will not save them

Riotous disturbances have continued in Rio,
but the troops have been able to restore public
order. There does not appear to have been any
positive movement against the Government, but
only an outbreak of street turbulence and law

even when political conditions are stagnant 1t

only two outbreaks of any kind in the national

Attention is once more called TO the danger
of grade crossings of railroads by the killing Of
three persons on Staten Island. 1t is out of the
question, of course, to abolish such crossings by

tions of the Railroad Commissioners that more
such crossings be constructed in the State; and
some steps might we'll be taken looking toward
the gradual reduction Of those already in ex-
