An eminent physician has made curious

Keeping in view this constant strain on
the heart, and taking into consideration the
abuse it receives from over-exertion, alco-
holic and other stimulants, is it any wonder
that it finally becomes affected, refuses to
perform its work, and causes death? The
fact can be readily understood that one in

MIR. CLEVELAND AND ELECTION
FRAUDS.

Probably there is nothing in the future
more certain than that, in the next session
of Congress, the Democrats will repeal the
federal election law. There is no point on
which they harmonious as they are
on this. They are all split up on the sill
yer question, the tariff question the cur
rency question, the bank question and the
pension question, but they are a unit in
declaring that the federal election law must
be repealed The Republicans will of
course, oppose the repeal by every means
in their power, but while they may delay
the result it is scarcely possible that they
can prevent it.
There ought to be doubt whether
Mr.. Cleveland would approve such a bill.
honest politics and good government He
processes to have profound regard for the
Constitution and for republican govern
ment, and he must know that the preserva-
ton of both depends on fair and honest
elections. He must know that while the
national election law has been disregarded
times, been very serviceable in preventing
election frauds. The recent outrages at
Gravesend are enough to convince anybody
that there is a rea! necessity for strin-
gent law to preserve the purity OF national
elections. and if the present law is re-
pealed there will be none at all. General
outrages as those that were committed at
Gravesend ought to be made impossible
by the courts. but, failing In that, the peo-
pie should act Such outrages ought to
show the people that instead of permitting
the federal election laws to be repealed
measures should be taken to strengthen
them. The people are completely at the
mercy of such fellows as McKane in fed
eral elections if the federal election law is
repealed" This must be as apparent to
MIR. Cleveland as it is to others. For these
reasons we repeat there ought to be some
doubt whether Mr. Cleveland will approve
the bill repeating the national election
law when it is presented to him. but we
fear there is none.

publicans had been successful in 1883 and a

The Iowa State Register says a great
many heretofore Democrats voted the Re
publican ticket in the recent election, and
that most of them will continue to do so.
1t attributes the Republican victory in that
State to a revolution of public sentiment
on the tariff question. 1t says that a study
of the returns. without going any further
into the State than Polk county lin which
Des Moines is situated) shows that the party
has made unprecedented gains from the
Iaboring classes. There are two Democrats
from Iowa in Congress now, but the Reg
lister says the State will send solid Re-
publican delegation next year. AS TO the
Legislature it says: when the Legisla-
ture meets in joint session to elect a United
States Senator to succeed James f. Wilson
the Republicans will have 107 votes and the
Democrats forty-three. of which nearly one
third are hold-over Senators and We're be-

CLEyElAND,s HAWAIIAN POLICY.

After eight months of delay, President
wich Islands complication is finally made
known, and the Journal believes it is
policy which the American people will not
approve. This mornings announcement is
the first frank statement made by the ad-
ministration, and its character is so ex-
traordinary that IT will challenge the atten-
ton Of the country. After eight months of
vacillation and mystery. the President vir-
tually says that the revolution in Hawaii
would not have occurred but for the inter-
vention of an armed force landed at Homo
lulu by the United States cruiser Boston.
This is doubtless one of the facts which
"My Commissioner Blount was sent to the
islands to ascertain, and which is now pa
raded for the purpose of discrediting the
action taken by the administration of Pres
ident Harrison. AS President Cleveland holds
that the revolution would not have occurred
but for the encouragement afforded by the
presence of armed force belonging TO
the United States, it is fair to infer that he
holds-though this point is not made clear
in the Washington telegrams-that 1t
is now the duty of the United States
to restore the monarchy which was
overthrown by the success OF the revo-
lutionists. For the government of the
United States to do that at any time or
under any circumstances, would be dis
graceful. but for it to assist in re-estab-
fishing such a monarchy as that which ex-
listed in Hawaii prior to the revolution and
in restoring to power such a ruler as Queen
Liliuokalani would bring the American
name into deserved contempt throughout
the civilized world. Little as we expect of
the Cleveland administration, we do not
believe it can fall so low as that.
A more probable outcome of affairs is
the complete disavowal of all the acts of
the late Minister Stevens in aid of the pro-
yisional government, a restoration Of the
status quo that existed before he recog-
nized that government and the entire with
drawal of the United States from any ne
gotiations relative either to annexation or
protectorate. The effect of this would be
to leave the inhabitants to fight it out
among themselves, with a possibility of
the restoration Of the monarchy or the
turning over OF the islands to some Eu-
ropean power. American interests do not
appear to be receiving any consideration,
and the idea of taking a far look into the
future does not seem to have occurred 10

inevitable that the transfer should cause
