is so because it grants the rights of
citizenship without its Obligations.
1t is very one-sided arrangement.
But there is very broad distinc-
ton between refusing to do
thing in the first instance,
and refusing to ratify it
when once done. Possession
is said to be nine points of the
law. The right TO vote having
once been granted to aliens who
registered under and took the
oath to support the new constitu-
ton, 1T is neither wise nor just to
strip Of the right those who have
been for two elections in the peace
full exercise of it. Many of these
are persons who actively partici-
pated in the revolution, and the
country owes them debt of graft
tude. DepflVlng them OF their
votes would be strange way to
discharge this debt.
The Bush-Wilcox faction are of
course hungry for the change, and
the measure is conceived in their
interest, as it weakens the vote OF
every element which they do not
directly control. The vote of the
mechanics and of the Portuguese,
would be largely diminished, not
to say wiped out by the contem-
plated amendment. We are in
favor of no measure tending to
lessen the influence of intelligent
and industrious mechanics-a class
which is greatly needed, and
which in the long run, when not
hoodwinked by demagogues, may
be trusted to act soberly, with 9
proper regard to the interests Of
all classes of the community.

WHO SHALL VOTE T?

The Legislature to be elected in
February will have an opportunity
to vote on several proposed amend
ments to the Constitution. One of
these proposes to restrict the suf-
frage to Hawaiian subjects, thereby
depriving of the franchise that
numerous class of persons resident
but not subjects, who were per-
mitted by the Constitution to regis
ter and vote at the first election.
Is this proposed amendment expe-
dent or just?
We believe that it is neither the
one nor the other. 1t is true that
the present arrangement which al
lows citizens and subjects of other
countries to vote in this, is inde-
fensible on theoretical grounds. It

SEC. BLAINE AT WORK.
He COnsuIts With the President
on the Chilean Matter.


Secretary Blaine made his APP
pearance at the State Department
this morning looking reasonably
we'll. The look of fatigue which
marked his countenance after the
journey from New York has dis
appeared, and 1T was the general
comment of those about the depart
ment who knew him best that there
is a great Improvement in his con-
dition since his departure early last
summer.
Mr.. Blaine gave practical evil
dence of his ability to resume his
official duties. He promptly ran
through the papers on his desk and
disposed of a considerable accumu-
lation of mail. Not long after he
was joined by Secretary Tracy, and
the two cabinet officers went to the
White House to keep an appoint
ment with the President. From 10
o'clock until noon the President
conferred with them. The Chilean
outrage was the chief topic. In
the absence of Secretary Blaine,
Secretary Tracy has been con-
suited in matters relating to Chile.
It was on this account that he was
invited to the conference between
the President and the Secretary of
State. No new feature was dis
cussed, and there will be no further
action until a full and complete re-
port is received from Minister Egan.
Capt. Schley's report gives suffi-
cient basis for action, but it is
thought better to have a more
elaborate report from the minister.
AS the result of the conference
to-day, it is likely that the issue
between this Government and
Chile for the next few weeks will
be confined to correspondence. In
other words the situation is not so
threatening as it appeared last
week.
The President Is anxious to have
the matter settled before Congress
meets, so that he can make q
feature of it in his annual message.
The general sentiment of the coun-
try was to promptly resent the
outrage and the speedy action of
the administration was received
with approval. Ii Chile can be
called down satisfactorily within
the next five weeks the moral
effect of it will be much in the
Presidents favor.
It was nearly noon when the
Secretary left the White House
and walked over to the Depart
ment of State. He entered his pri.
vate Office and plunged at once into
business. Orders were given to
admit no persons not connected
with the Department, and the Sec
rotary began to hear reports from
the assistant secretaries and other
officials of the department.. Nearly
all had matters to bring to his at
tention, and the Secretary entered
upon their consideration with zeal,
in this way picking up many of the
details of business that is now be-
fore the department.. Assistant
Secretary Wharton, who has been
acting as Secretary of State dur
ing Secretary Blaine's absence,
returned this morning from fly
ing trip to New York to find the
Secretary at the helm of the ship of
state. There appeared to be no
official news at the department res
pecting the latest phase of the Chi
lean trouble. Nothing had been
received mp to noon from Com
mander Schley, and Secretary
Blaine sent word that there was
nothing to communicate upon the
subject.-Wash. Star, Oct. 26th.

AGENTS for the

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one OF the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
OF our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.

We can't get it on either side

want what they have. We
can build the width of our

as you can see, but it's not

COMING ROUND.

The Australian Federation is having a
healthful influence on the British Govern
ment. The right to exclude Chinese, which
a few years since was denied to Canada, has
been recognized by tile British Prvy Coun-
Gil in respect to Australia. 1t will be re-
membered that when the Canadian Govern
ment made an attempt to exclude Chinese a
remonstrance from London caused tile Can
adian Government to confne restrictions to
a law imposing head-tax of $50 and re-
quiring registration. AS rule the incOm-
ing Chinamau paid the tax, got himself reg
is;eTed and shot cut for The United States.
A dispatch from Ottawa says that the Can
adian Government. is row willing to cooper
ate with the American authorities in pre-
venting Chinese from passing from British
Columbia to the United States. But while
Chinese are freely admitted into Canada
proportion will work their way south in
spite of the efforts of both countries. A
better way to exclude Chinese. would be for
the Canadian Government to pass an ex-
cusion law. Since The action of the British
Privy Council in respect to Australian ex-
eluson the British Government would
hardly object

POLITICAL CHANGES.

Senator Reagan of Texas has resigned his
seat in the Senate, and the Governor of his
State has appointed an unknown lawyer to
take his place. 1t was expected that the
honor would fall to the leader of the Texas
delegation in Congress, Roger O. Mills; but
it seems that the Governor did not like him,
and Mr.. Mills will have to wait Till the Leg
islature meets.
Reagan is one Of the last survivors of the
old times. He became a member of Con-
gress at the time when Buchanan became
Pr esident, being than 80 years Of age. and
he allied himself to tile extreme Secession
lists, whose leader was JEFF Davis When
Texas went out, in spite of the efforts of
Governor Houston, Reagan was one of the
chiefs of the movement, and was rewarded
by the office OF Postmaster General of the
Cenfederacy. As a member Of the Davis
Cabinet he developed no ability. He was
one Of the select party which ran away
with Davis at the fall Of Richmond. After
the war he managed to get his disabilities
removed, and reappeared in Washington as
member from Texas. He retained his
seat until a vacancy in the Senate enabled
him to rise into the upper house. OF late
years he has been chiefly known as the re-
sponsible parent Of the Interstate Com
MERGE Act. His knowledge of the science
Of transportation was not extensive. but he
had an acute perception of the drifts Of
public opinion, and he always aimed at

TOO ABSURD FOR BELIEF.

Eastern Democratic papers assume that
the anticipated order from the Secretary of
the Treasury Withdrawing the bonding
privilege that has been enjoyed by the
Canadian railroads springs from desire
on the part of the admin stration to drive
Canada into some kind of commercial
union. Commenting upon the order the
New York World says: THAT rivals Of
the Canadian Pacific ON this side of the line
should try to deprive of all special trans
portation privileges road that carries
freight cheaper than they are able to do is
perfectly natural. But that Mr..
Blaine should suppose that he can extort
transpOrtion concessions from Canada in
return for the bonding privilege enjoyed by
the Canadian Pacific is almost too absurd
for belief" 1t is so nearly too absurd for
belief that no one believes it. The Admin
istration has said as plainly as 1t can that
it has no designs upon The trade of Canada.
IL sees that the Canadian Pacific through
the exemption from the conditions of the
interstate law and the enjoyment of Gov
erD ment subsidy is able to carry goods
from one American city to another at lower
rates than American roads can carry them.
The Administration knows also that the

A " SHADOW OF A GREAT WRONG"

A Democrat, discuss ing the free silver
coinage proposition as political issue, says
it will have no effect on the South. That
section of the country, he thinks, IS solid
on the other issues. The other issues are
not clearly stated; but the writer seems I'M
der the impression that the South is lm-
placably hostile TO some of the men the
North sends to the national Congress. He
has dis covered, also, that the South stands
cont nually in the shadow OF a great wrong.
and is certain that so long as it stands in
this shadow. 1t win remain solid. The
South has an impression that the Demo-
cratic party will dissipate this shadow, and
will continue TO vote for it in that hope. We
do not know what great wrong threatens the
South. The last cleo ton shows that there
is no bayOnet rule which carries elections in
Northern States. 1t shows that the Repub-
lican party will be retained IN power only
so long as its policy meets the approval of
the people. There is not Congressional
district in the Northern States that is not
free 10 elect Democratic representative.
Can the South say as much? Are Re
publicans in the South free to vote
as they Ilease, and sure to have
their votes counted rs cast? The South has
really quite as much to gain from the Re-
publican policy Of protection as the North
has. That policy is already filling the South
with factories in which labor formerly idle
is proftably employed. The South is richer,
more prosperous ana freer to-day than at any
past period. What then is this shadow Of
great wrong that keeps the South solid?
What feeling is it that induces the Southern
whites to vote the Democratic ticket regard
less Of the questions which divide the voters
of the North? What does this solid pha-
lanx of Democratic States imagine would
happen if half OF all of them should vote
for a Republican President? The Federal
Government under either Republican or
Democratic rule can only interferein the in
ternal affairs of States when the provisions
of the Federal Constitution are violated.
Are any of these provisions violated now,
and does the apprehension of interference
to enfore these provisions constitute the
shadow of great wrong under which the
South rau,aiDs colid .

American roads have considered it to their
interest 10 pay the Canadian road large
sums of money on condition that it would
not carry freight at lower rates than the
American roads can carry it. The public
gets but little, if any, benefit from this
competition. The Canadian road completes
or takes money not to compete as it may
deem best for its own interest. 1t is not
running competing road on principle.
Under these conditions the Administration
proposes to withdraw some Of the facilities
it has hitherto extended to the Canadian
roads, facilities which placed them in re-
speet to American traffic on even terms with
American roads. There is no sign of pur-
pose in this to worry Canada into making
concessions of any kind. The people of
this country have nothing to gain but much
to lose by reciprocity with Canada. As for
complete commercial union, that is gener-
ally regarded as practicable only when
political union gives the American Con-
gress the right to make the tariff excise and
immigration laws of Canada identical with
those of the United States
