sponsible adventures, and without the
consent or knowledge OF the de facto
government to which he was accredited,
or the government he represented, to
employ an armed force to menace the
seat of government and drive the queen
from her throne. This was an act of war
the only act of war committed during
the progress OF the whole difficulty, and
for this Minister Stevens was respon-
sible. The Harrison administration,
however, relieved him of the conse-
quences Of his crime by following up his
unlawful proceeding. Had this not been
done. the minister would have been
liable to severe and exemplary punish
ment for all act so ill-advised,s so unprec-
edented and so reasonable.
There can be no two opinions among
men of fairness and patriotism as to
this controversy. The president has
demonstrated his patriotism and his
common sense throughout. He could
not have pursued another course and
retained consciousness of integrity
Ii he had cOnsummated the work un-
dertaken by his predecessor in office he
would have proved himself less of an
American, less OF q man, than he is
today. The sentiment of the press was
arrayed against him, and majority of
the people followed its lead. But, con-
scious of the fact that he was right. and
that the sober second thought of the
American people would approve his
course, Mr.. Cleveland has been I'M
in 4, IN, Iac
of right and justice. And events will,
no doubt, fully vindicate him in the
sight of the whole world.

The committee contrasts the manner
in which its bill has been prepared
with that in which other protective bills
have been framed. For once in many
years committee has done its work.
with consciousness that it was legis-s
lating for the people and not for class
Of the people. I'VE have not forgotten
that we represent the people, who are
many, as we'll as the protected interests,
who are few; and, while we have dealt
with the latter in no spirit of unfriend-
illness, we have felt that it was our duty
and not their privilege TO make the
tariff schedules" Contrast this With
the well-known manner in which man.
ufacturers wrote out the terms of pro-
lection for their wares, and Mr.. McKin-
ley complacently pastel them into his
schedules word for word. Mr.. Wilson
emphasizes this in his quotation from
the remarks Of Senator Hoar before the
senate subcommittee, where he went to
see if the committee had put into the
schedules EXACTLY what the petitioners
desired" and was gratitied to find that
it had done so. As Mr.. Wilson says,
mo stronger Indictment of the whole
protective system could be made than
is that unconsciously carried in the
words of the senator"
1t will surprise some readers of this
report who have imblbed in some way
the idea that congressman, especially
Republican congressman, are either
mysteriousiy endowed Oh get with their
election certificates an ail-pervading,
omnlscient wisdom, which makes the
formation of tariff very easy and
simple matter. to read the admission
that to frame bill free from errors
would require knowledge of all the
divisions, subdivisions, complex and
manifold mazes and involutions of our
chemical, textile, metal and other in
dustrles that no committee of congress,
no matter how extended the range of
their personal knowledge, or how la
borlous and painstaking their efforts,
could ever hope to possess"
This is true not only of protective,
but also of revenue tariff, and if Sena-
tor Hoar'S showing of how protective
tariff is made is the Seyerest arraign-
ment of that kind of tariff that could
be made, this admission of the impossi-
bility of framing revenue tariff which
would be free from error is as strong an
indictment of that system of taxation. 1t
is incapable of precision OF exact meas
urement; it is a maze, labyrinth in
which nothing is clear and all is con-
fusing. Its ramifcations are so remote,
the relations of the objects taxed so in
tricate, that, if we could conceive of
Omniscience countenancing such rank
injustice as tariff, we doubt If it has
tie wisdom to frame one which would
be free from errors.

THE MESSAGE ON HAWAII.

Liliuokalani may comfort herself with
he reflection that while there may be a
great deal of worry connected with the
position Of eX-queen of Hawaii this is
nothing compared to the diSquletlng
influences that surround the president
of the United States Star.
The message Will not strengthen the
administration before the people. 1t has
made a disgraceful pasco in the Ha-
waIian business. Its methods have been
underhanded and tortuous, and stand
condemned by the great majority of the
people of all parties. Sen
tinel.
The policy Of infamy has not worked
well, though it well may be imagined
the president is relieved to get the
queen off his hands. Meanwhile we
have not heard the last of it. There
will be some ugly questions asked in
the senate Chicago Tribune.
UnquestionabIy, if Mr.. Cleveland's
version of the affair be correct in its va
rious details, full atonement should be
made to the people of the Hawaiian
islands for the wrong done to them
always provided that they actually feel
wronged and want further interference
with their affairs and the restoration of
the original status.-Chicago Record.
The paper is one that will raise Mr..
Cleveland greatly in the esteem of the
country. 1t shows that he and Secre-
tary Gresham had complete fertilization
for the position assumed by them in
this vexatious incident. The message
is Informed with high spirit of equity
and national honor worthy the best
days of the past of the republic. 1t is
circumstantial. comprehensive and con-
vincing.-Chicago Herald.
The message is judicial presenta-
ton of the whole case, and it gives
strong reasons for every act of the ad-
ministration in the matter. 1t calls
especial attention to the statement Of
President Harrlson;s message in sub.
hitting the proposed treaty to the senate
for ratification in regard to the absence
of any part taken by the United States
representatives in overturning the gov
eminent of the islands. The admitted
facts are stated, and from them the in
evitable conclusion is drawn that both
president and senate were miSled.-

WHO nECLARED WAR;

For months the Republican press of
the country has been raising a con-
certed and protracted howl against the
policy of President Cleveland as to
Hawai-. 1t has been asserted that his
conduct was tantamOunt to declara-
ton of war, and was therefore usur-
patton of the powers conferred by the
constitution upon congress alone. A
few of the unthinking and ill-informed
Democratic newspapers have joined in
the clamor, and the two combined have
endeavored to create the impression
that the president had assumed unusual,
unlawful and wholly indefenSiDle
means to accomplish an end inimical
to democratic government throughout
the world.
1t takes the president but one brief
paragraph to defend himself from so
groundless charge, and to place the
responsibility for all of the usurpation
that has been made manifest through
out the entire proceeding where it prop
erly belongs. After relating the cir
cumstances attending the landing of
United States marines at Honolulu, the
president says that ''tniS demonstration
upon the soil of Honolulu was of itself
all act of war, unless made either with
the consent of the government of Ha-
wall or for the bona fide purpose of pro-
tecting the imperiled lives and property
of citizens of the United States, but
there is no pretense of any such con-
sent on the part of the government of
the queen, which was at that time I'M
disputed, and was both the de facto and
the de jure government. In point of fact,
the existing government, instead of re-
questing the presence of an armed force,
protested against it. There is as little
basis for the pretense that such forces
we're landed for the security of Ameri-
can life and property. If so, they should
have been stationed in the vicinity of
such property, and so as to protect it,
instead of at distance, and so as to
command the Hawaiian government
building and palace"
Thus is Minister Stevens placed in
the attitude of not only violating his in
structions and his admitted privileges,
but of defying the constitution by
| usurping the power to declare war,
which is vested in congress and the
president. This petty conspirator, car.
ried away by his zeal for annexation,
undertook, at the call of eabal OF irye-

CHtCaGo's NEW MAYOR.

The election of John Z. Hopkins as
mayor of Chicago at the special poll
held yesterday is matter for congratula-
ton. The majority is a narrow on e
less than 1.500-buu under all the cir
cumstances it is significant of the fact
that Chicago is reliably Democratic
city whenever party lines are strictly
drawn.
Mr.. Hopkins opponent is one of the
most adroit politicians in the city. He
affected MANY virtues, was connected
with church having large member
ship, and he used his religious pulp to
the utmost At the same time he did
not scruple to pander TO the baser ele-
ments of the population; and also, dur
ing the campaign just closed, paid as
siduous court to the German element
by making himself conspicuous at their
Sunday evening social gatherings. His
record as member of former Repub-
eau city administration was free from
scandal, save that he used his authority
as the head of the public works depart
ment to make himself solid" with the
army of laborerS employed by the city.

young man who has been eminently
successful in all he has undertaken. He
has had important trusts, financial and
legal, for various corporations, and has
acquitted himself so as to win the es-
TEEN of all classes. His political prom
inence was largely due to his connec
ton with the Cook County Democratic
club, of which he was the president.
He was entrusted with the management
of the local campaign during the con-
test for the presidency. and proved his
capacity for leadership To the satisfac-
lion of all his partisan friends. He is a
capable business man, energetic, vigi

action, always keenly alive to the neces-

his subordinates as faithful service to

Chicago is to be congratulated upon
having chosen so wisely. She. will

course.
