Evidently President Cleveland Will
recognize the queen Of the Hiwaii Islands,
and her wheels of government will soon
be placed in motion again. We are still
unable to see any good reason why the
island should be annexed 10 the United
States. A large percentage of the inhab-
itants are American born and would be
pleased to have the form of government
merged into republic; but still that
should have no bearing on the case. We
have rights in common with other nations
to coalIng station privileges there, and our
usual commercial relations with the
island, and why should we seek the con-
troll of III Cuba, or any other island,
might make the same request, and we
would be In duty bound 10 open our doors
for admission. We have ample territory
70 look after without acquiring more,
President Harrison did not wait TO hear
from the people, but rushed his proclama'
tion into the senate; but that august body
was in no hurry TO ratify his hasty pro-
ceedings, and later II was withdrawn by
President Cleveland. Let the queen re-
sumo her work and rule her people and
remain undisturbed by the government OF
the United States.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov, 17-This has been
as unpleasant week in administration
circles as was that which followed The ter
rible condemnation of the democratic par
ty and its methods at the polls. Public
opinion has made itself heard by every
member of this administration, which Is
the first and will doubtless be the last 70
attempt to drag partisan politics iulo the
foreign policy of the United States Here
tofore II has been the proud boast OF men
of all political parties that however much
Americans might differ about home affairs
politics was always dropped and they all
became simply Americans whenever any
thing came up relating to American inter-
esls abroad or to our dealings with foreign
nations. But Pres. Cleveland and his rem
eCade secretary of state have made a
startling change, change Involving the
use of the power CT the United States 10

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

The Seventeenth Annual Convention OF the
Order Convenos at Philadeiphia Annual
Report Of General Master Workman
Powdorly.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16-The seven.
teenth annual session Of the general
assembly K. Of L., began yesterday
morning in Industrial hall and will
continue for possibly ten days. The
half hundred delegates who were
then present were called to order by
DR.. A. H. P. Leuf, Of Philadelphia, who
delivered an address Of welcome. This
was responded to by General Master
Workman Powderly, after which the
latter took the chair.
General Master Workman Powderly
read his annual report In the after
noon. After referring to the work
done by the order, Mr.. Powderly re.
piled to the attacks made upon him by
Protestant clergymen, who charged
that he was conspiring with the Roman
Catholic church to overthrow the coun-
try. He said: There Is but one con.
clusion to arrive at No sensible Prot
estant had anything to do with these
matters. No self-respecting man could
descend to such depths of slander and
villainous Misrepresentation"
Mr.. Powderly urges the people Of the
United States TO adopt the clause Of
the Swiss constitution which makes
every citizen liable to military service,
thus doing away with the maintenance
Of a standing army and Of the state
militia. In furtherance of this he rec
ommends that military feature be en-
grated on the public school system Of
the nation. He favors holding the next
session of the general assembly, the
next convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor and the convention Of
other industrial bodies at the same
time and in the same city.
Mr.. Powderly finally favors the free
coinage Of silver and says he will ad.
dress the general assembly, II required,
and show samples Of fat money, not
recognized by the constitution of the
United States, but which performs all
the functions OF money to the exclusion
Of the legal coinage Of the government

We hope the press will do Gov. McKin-
lev The kindness to cease talking about his
chances for the nomination for president
History says that The press took up w. H.
Stewards name in 1858 and actually had
him nominated IN one way before the con-
vention assembled In May, 1860: but when
The ballots we're counted he lrll few votes
behind a majority and, OF course, failed'
In 1875 the press took up the name OF
James q. Blaine, and the indications were
that he would be nominated on first ballot.
He did como within five votes Of II, but
failed. Therefore, il is generally bad pol
icy for the prospective nominee to bring
his name before the public In that way
Then again, 1T is TOO long beforehand TO
even surmise who will be the best man to
vote for in the convention. II has been
fully admitted that public questions ot
even vital interests 10 nation are liable
10 be changed within very few months
aud what nigh, appear 10 be the best line
of policy to pursue tor even the next TWO
years might be looked upon as an unsafe
one to pursue any further We do not In
tend TO infer that the press will destroy
McKinley's cbancrs, but in discussing his
chances so long beforehand there is len
dency to create strife in mis- own ranks and
make others feell that they are unnoIiced
and have just as good right TO the posi-
tion; and the result is they arrange their
wires 70 defeat him.

BOLD ROBBERY
And Attempt to Murder the President of

And Attempt to Murder the President of
the Bank at Milton, Ore.
WALLA WALLA, Wash, Nov. ia
daring bank robbery, with an attempt
to murder the president of the bank Of
Milton, occurred at Milton, Ore, ten
miles south Of this city, Monday after
noon. At o'clock, when few persons
were on the street, three men we'll
mounted, without attracting any spe-
cial attention, rode leisurely into town
and dismounted at the door of the
bank OF Milton. Two entered the bank
while the th,rd stood guard outside
and held the horses. President A. Hop
son, Cashier N. A, Davis and Assistant
Cashier William Hopson were In the
bank at the time.
The first intimation of the coming OF
the robbers they had was when two
shots were fred by the intruders be-
fore making any verbal demand. Both
shots took effect in President Hopson's 9
body, inAicting painful flesh wounds
and Telling him TO the floor. The re-
volver was held so close 10 the head OF
Cashier Davis that the concussion
knocked him down. The robbers then
demanded money from William Hop
son. He handed them tray OF counter
change, containing so442S Taking
this they left immediately without an
attempt TO get the cash in the vault
The noise Of the shots spread the
alarm and within FIVE minutes On
armed and mounted posse was in pur-
suit, but all traces were lost after n
short distance. The weather was very
foggy and II was impossible TO see
more than 300 yards. One OF the rob
bers was identified as one A. McCarty.

An interesting relic is preserved in
glass case in the Coldstream Guards
orderly room at whitehall, says the
Million. 1t consists of the head and
neck of Il goose, around which is u
golden collar with the inscription:
"Jacob, Second battalion, Coldstream
Guards" Beneath it are the words:
"Died on duIy." In 1898, when two
of the battal;ons were in Canada help
ing to quell the rebellion, some of the
soldiers We're posted as sentr es round
farmyard near Quebec. One day the
sentry whose duty it was to watch the
entrance to the farm beheld fine
goose fleeing towards him, closely
pursued by fox.
His first inp pulse was to have shot at
the latter, but this would have alarmed
the guard. lie was compelled, there
fore, to remain silent, while every step
brought Reynard nearer to his prey.
In The height of despair the poor bird
ran its head and neck between the
legs of the soldier, and at the same
moment the willy fox made desperate
grab at the goose: but too late, for ere
he could get a feather between his
teeth t e ready bavonet of the sentinel
had passed through his body. The
poor goose, by way of showing its
gratitude TO its preserver, rubbed its
head against his legs and made other
equally curious demonstrations of Joy.
Nor could it ever be prevailed upon
to quit the post, but walked up and
down day after day with each success
sive sentinel that was placed there.
| The most remarkable thing in connec-
/ tion with the story is that the goose in
turn actually saved her preserver's
/ life. 1t so happened that the same
sentry was ON that particular post
about two months afterwards when
desperate attempt was made to kill
him. 1t was winter time, and several
men stole up in the darkness to the
/ sentry's post. their footsteps inaudible
on the soft snow. The soldier mean
while marched up and down his lonely
I beat. followed by the devoted goose,
until he again stood at ease before the
sentry !oi.
This was the enemv's opportunity.
But just as two of their number were
preparing with uplifted knives to
spring upon the unsuspecting man,
the bird rose suddenly on its wings,
right in the faces of the would-be as
sassins. They were astonished and
rushed blindly forward: but the SEN
try. fully aroused to his danger, bayo-
neted one and shot the other as he was
running away.
Meanwhile, the other conspirators
approached, but the bird repeated it's
tactics and enabled the sentry to keep
them at bay until the guard came upon
the scene and made them fly for their
lives. On arrival of the regiment in
London the bird resumed its old duties
with the sentinel posted at the barrack
gates. Jacob was eventually run
over by van, and died at the post OF
duty after Il sentry go" of twelve
years.

Gen. o. u. Blank, in command of d.

his whisky. So far as the writer
knows the facts in the case were:
Gen. Blank was the owner of hne
barrel of whisky, which he kept
against the outside of his tent right
by the beat of the guard over the COM
missary stores. 1t was on dark and
dismal night that certain member of
the Eighth Wisconsin, whose name
shall be unmcn toned, who was pacing
that beat, and wishing to occupy his
time to more purpose than merely
idly promenading, conceived the idea
of bottling up the generals barrel of
whisky so as To have it handy for the
generals use in the morning. So be
