DO they retain their confidence in the
State Committee which gave them tho
splendid victory Of 1891? Do they honor
or do they dlsown their representa-

Now, there Is abundant evidence that the

tory to tho New York Democracy. and

sponsc to the bray Of II few fault-fnding
Mugwumps and Democratic insists. the
Democrats OF New York should ut Chicago
be put IN tho position Of pleading guilty
to the accusations OF these prctcnders. tho
Republicans of New York. now downcast

business at tho old stand in Albany. having
received n clean bill OF health from DEM

There is no possible escape from this con-
clusion. There can be no disavowal OF the

Of New York. which does not imply and
assure Republican triumph at the polls in
this STATE this year. And certainly. as the

its fold. There is a growing disposition to
look toward the United States for solu-
ton OF their troubles. Their new prosper

The recent reciprocity treaties have

Tho members of this Legislature. who

annexation OF the kingdom TO the United
States. This party is prepared to bring

any time come to the front in such way as
to make speedy decision unavoidable.

Of the Hawaiian Legislature. 1t Is for that
body to adopt such policy as will best
promote the welfare OF the Hawaiian peo-
pie, while at tho same time guarding the
Government against danger from the in-
trigues OF foreign powers.
We shall give due consideration to any
project that may lie devised by the Legis-
lature aud that shall be acceptable to ma
jorlty OF the people OF Hawaii. 1t would not
be becoming in us to bring any pressure to
bear upon the Legislature. and we do not
desire to present any argument In favor OF
annexation. Tho American Government Is
founded upon the popular will. and no ter
ritory can be added TO this country against
the will Of its inhabitants.
1t is necessary to say, however. that we
shall not permit any European Govern

During Thursdays debate on the silver
question in the Senate Senator SHERMAN very
properly objected to tho drafting OF bill
which was to be n panacea for all the ills OF
life." but he very improperly remarked that
this was asking more than tho Almighty
Himself could do Such n remark Is wicked
and she liking. in antagonism with the primary
and qualitative conception OF theology. The
Ohio Senator must have learned from the
Scriptures in his youth. II not from science in
his later years. that the Almighty is infinite in
power This is truly an awe-inspiring thought.
even though the word infinite stands for q
mystery beyond finite comprehension 1t is
absurd as well as sinful for n man to shy what
the Almighty can or cannot do. Tho Almighty
can transform human nature in any way ut any
moment. can crente q panacea for the ills OF
life. or mako Il panncea unnecessary by put
ting an end to life can annihilate even rs He
created. He causeth that which He willeth. dd
tnfn't'n. But We must not weary Senator
SHERMAN with elementary theology.
In the same speech on tho silver question
Senator SHERMAN told the Senate what would
be the first thing he himself would do 'if he
had the power Of the Almighty" Is not this
deplorable language? How can even a Sena-
tor toll what he would do II he had Almighty
power?
We fear that JOHN SHERMAN has neglected
divinity in his pursuit Of politics

they form the "only cheerful clement" in tho

Tho white native American often has cheer

In olden days there was n prince OF high
renown who dorel for n timo his princcly
carb. and. clad in n Goatskin. travelled far
of. observing the ways Of people who knew
him not. Even in this age OF tho world we
hear once In n while OF a prince following the
example that was set by tho hero OF OSCAR
WILpE's story. Unbcknown to the reporters,
we have had in this country for the past
three months one Of the iIustrious among
German princes. LEOPOLD. hereditary Prince
OF lser burg Birstcin. the eldest son and hoir
Of the sovereign Prince Of Isenburg- Birstein.
We believe that tho first public report OF his
presence here was that which our Washing
ton correspondent sent to The SuS on Mon
day last. and which was printed the following
day among our dispatches. Prince LEOPOLD
has other merits than those Of princely rank
and proud ancestry: he is an author. an
artist. scientist. end philosophers no
is also n man of ilnn figure and dis
'mguishing features. Possessed Of de-
sire to see American i.'o unl things.
he cnmo here quietly in February last. took
tho respectable name of VoN IsEN. and be-
gan 10 make Observations. He saw some
thing Of our society without proclaiming his
princchood: he looked about oar streets; he
studied the operation Of our political system.
and he visited many Of our Industrial cstab-
llshments. In which he took serious interest.
llo then struck out for tho Wcst without tho
knowledge Of tho Chicago papers. which
would aSsuredly have destroyed his happiness il
they had got on his tracks. llo looked into tho
Western ways Of farming, OF cattle raising and
Of living. and he examined also tho railroads
upon which he travelled and the appurtcnanccs
of tho various limos. In short his American
tour has been made with intelligence for the
purpose OF acquiring information. and we pre-
sumo that he has gained n better knowledge OF
many American things than is possessed by
large proportion OF tho people who are natives
Of tho United States. Aftorward he visited
Washington in order to be presented to tho
President prior to his departure for Germany
