HOKE SMITH.

It's ycYy queer about Hokc Smith. We do
not remember ever - have heard Of llokc until
few weeks ago, when it was given out in
Hokes newspaper-he edits a newspaper, APP
parentlv, in Atlanta, Ga.-that whoever in
Georgia wanted an Office under Mr. Cleveland
would have t, reckon with lloke Smith. Hoke
as subsequently appeared, was away from home
at the time the announcement was made, and
on his return fastened t. dsavOw any response
bility for or knowledge Of it. If we rightly
remember, he quite warm about it. How
ever that NAV be- the effect of the announce
mtnt and dsavowal was 70 thrust IIoke straight
into the public eye. Particularly the public
eve of Georgia. Since then he has been, off and
on, az intervals, quite current topic in that
State The impression prevails in some sections
Of that State that Ilokc has been Offered a
Cabinet appointment, and is treating it coyy is
in fact toying with it while large bodies of
earnest men in Georgia are kept in suspense.
There is also, it appears, great opposition to
Ioke in his own State. This is apt to be the
case where a statesman of unusual promise
Uses suddenly above tho horizon and begins to
dazzle the common mind.
This opposition has gone 50 far. as we learn
from the Washington correspondence of our
contemporary 1.-THE Ncw-YorlS Sun" that Mr..
Livingston, member of Congress from
Georgia, waited the other day upon the Hon.
Don NJ Dickinson. who is understood to be
going round with Cabinet appointments in his
pocket, and informed him thatif Ilokc should
be appointed there would be trouble in Georgia.
The correspondent says 81 His remarks on this
nj De-
marks made with especial vgor' by Georgia
Democrat are ordinarily understood to be re-
marks ornamonted with explosives Of a sulphur

during the last campaign General Weaver, the
Alliance candidate for President, accompanied
by the Kansas stateswoman, Mis-. Lease ad-
dressed one or two Georgia audiences, and
were replied to with especial vigor" the re-
marks being accompanied by profuse offer.
ing of stale eggs. Mr. Livingston's especially
vigorous remarks on this occasion must have
made profound impression on the Michigan
statesman who was supposed to have Cabinet
appointment for Hokc Smith in his pocket.
All this time, as we learn from the same
trustworthy source. "AIr Hcke Smith was Just
outside the door protesting to the correspondent
of The Sun that he had no aspirations in

NATIONAL QUARANTINE ASSURED.

The amended Senate Quarantine bill which
passed tae House without division OH Wodnes-
day is a far better measure than there was any
fair prospect of enacting until within the last
fow days. Moreover, it may prove to be better
in operation than it is in construction. 1t
makes possible, if not probable, conflict OF
authority at some points, and especially at this
port which is unfortunate but, on the other
hand. there is no doubt that such conflict
would result in favor of the Federal Govern
mcnt if the National Administration were firm
in asserting its powers under the law. The
new system contemplatcS friendly cooperation
CT the Federal and State authorities where
State quarantine establishments exist but the
Secretary of the Treasury is invested with
superior power, and in case of neglect or re-
sistance the President is expressly authorized
to enforce such regulations as he may deem
necessary.
In word National supremacy is guaranteed
wherever it is asserted On this point the
terms of the bill are explicit. The law also
provides for a rigid inspection of ships, passen-
gers and cargo at foreign ports by competent
persons, and likewise gives the Executive power
to suspend immigration and the importation of
merchandise at his own discretion The dan
ger of infection crossing the Canadian and
Mexican frontiers into the United States will
still remain. and if the border States do not take
wise and active measures this will be serious
matter. But nevertheless the new law will
provide the means of setting up and maintain
ing strong defences against an invasion Of
pestilence, il the appropriation of $3.50 900 in
the Sundry Civil bill for carrying it into effect
is not defeated. And such a notification Of
the law is not now TO be apprehendcd. The
fight for National quarantine has been made
and won.
This reform has not been accomplished any
too soon. In Southern Europe warm weather
is nearly due, and with it conditions favorable
to the development of cholera germs will re-
appear The news from Marscilcs is omnous
even now. The disease which has suddenly
broken out there and already killed at least a
score OF persons within two or three days is
acknowledged to be of choleraic type. There
is more reason to believe that it is true cholera
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1893-02-10

than that some other mysterious ana Vlr"ieh'
nIacue is battling the doctors. The truth was
diseused in Paris last summer 1or se'erai
weeks with comforting phrases and 1t IS prop
ablo at least that a similar deception Is now
being practised at Marselles. In any case the
most competent sanitarans are confident that
cholera will be ra ging on the Continent within
a few months at longest, and the interval or
comparative safety upon which this country can
depend ought to be employed with the utmost
wisdom and diligence.
The passage If the now quarantine law puos
n hiohly useful if imperfect weapon OF defence
in the hands of the authorities. and will greatly
diminish that state of apprehension which pre-
disposes TO disease. 1t affords also striking
and welcome illustration of the power OF pubic
opinion when it is aroused and insistent. There
is no doubt that Tammany was originally de-
termned to prevent any interference with its
control of quarantine at this port, and Tor the
sake of maintaining it's authority here unlm-
paired to defeat any valuable system OF Federal
SUPERVISION. But the popular Will was 700
strong and too well represented at Washington
to be safely withstood, and Tammany was
compelled to abandon its opposition. We give
Mr.. Bourke Cochran credit for discerning the
danger and using his influence for the common
advantaOe

THE HAWAIIAN APPEAL.

The latest news from Hawaii confirms the
original reports of Delegate ThurstOn and his
colleagues and emphasizes the necessity for
PROMPT acton looking to the firm establishment
of order in the islands. Minister Stevens has
acted with tact and good Judgment. In com
plying with the request of President Dole and
the Provisional Government to assume the good
Offices of a protecting power, Mr.. Stevens did
precisely the right thing and did it in ex-
pressons we'll calculated to leave President
Harrison free of embarrassment and the most
sensitive HaWaiians without grounds of offence
The effect of the Minister'S proclamation was
simply to insure the orderly operations of the
governing authorities until he could be advised
of the Presidents pleasure. The Provisional
Government being in actual possession of tho
governing machinery, being recognized by the
PEOPLE and by all the foreign countries repre-
sented in Honolulu. its status as the only power
which could rightfully claim obedience was
completely established, and in promising to sus-
tain its authority the Minister promised no more
and assumed no other obligation than to act
for the preservation of life, law and property.
His proceedings in these circumstances COM
mtted the United States to no permanent pol
icy, but they were especially useful in the evil
dence afforded by the way they were received
that the annexation of Hawaii to this Repub.
lie will be source Of contentment to the
Hawaiian people.
Nothing has yet been said by the Queens
part:.ans which in any way disciedits the
mission Ct the Hawaiian delegates. The let
ter of John F. Colburn. member Of the Cab
met which resisted Queen Liliuokalani's at
tempt to promulgate new Constitution. but
was dismissed from Office by the successful
revolutionists after refusing to join the move
ment to abolish the monarchy, admits all the
facts hitherto declared by the delegates, insist
ing, merely. that the Queen should be restored
nevertheless and that ignorance and vice be
left alone to work out whatever result in
Hawaii they may naturally have in store. Mr..
Colbum aboriously proves the Queens fanat-
cism, incompetency and tyranny. and then he
asks the Federal Government TO re-cstablish
her authority In all essential respects his
account of the uprising agrees with that of the
delegates. He differs with them only in that
he recommends that the islands be given over
to fetichsm and anarchy while they urge .
