dent to sign. Pretty soon the Democrat
ic congressman and Democratic senators
began to come to the department. to
wrestle Republican commissions for
their Democratic postmasteIs. Inc %
Offices were all important and all deslra-
BILE, ranging in salary from $500 to $4,000
a year. They appealed to the President,
and he ordered the commissions made out
and signed them, and SO sent 9S Demo-
Gratis into Office on the commission of a
Republican President. These commits
sions were nearly all sent in some time in
April, month after the Republicans
were in power. The postmasters are
holding the places yet, and will hold
them until next April, or until Cleve-
land can commission them himself"
In view of these facts it would seem to
be the height of impudence for the DEM
ocrats to ask President Harrison to sus-
pend the exercise Of his prerogative in
Difference to Grover Cleveland. When the
people want President to abdicate as
soon as his successor is elected they will
undoubtedly change the constitution SO
that Presidential terms shall begin in
November instead of March. Until they
do that it will be the right and also the
duty of the President to exercise the pre-
rogative until the fourth of March.

every page. The Frosted Coal-Heap is
suggestive paper, and then we reach
Some London Churchyards. Twixt
Halloween and Christmas is a seasonal
BILE story; God Bless the Cheese is
story which, Notwithstanding its start

We continue to follow the fortunes Of the

U Gle Jack is very pretty and pathetic.
God in the Book of Nature is a chapter

Good Housekeeping presents as
frontispiece for the February number
happy winter scene, entitled Seven Sleds
Full. Miss Parloa gives valuable direc-
tions regarding the purchase of beef and
mutton, as the standard meats for the
winter season; Helena Rowe discusses
shopping in the dry goods line, with
special reference to the current fashions;
there is very interesting Story of
Dwight and the Kelley Cure, that scien-
tific marvel of the age; the initial num-
Der of a new series of papers devoted to
Everyday Etiquette, in the home, on the
street, in the business office and aboard
the public conveyance; What to do with
My Lady's House, deals with the Sleep
ing room, its fitting and adjoining; while
the entire body of the generous magazine
is filled with timely aed interesting mat
ter.
The February Arena is unusually
strong. Its contents are varied and alive
with vital thoughts. Among the Social
and Economic problems discussed are
Proportional Representation, by W. D.
Met rackan, A. NJ, author Of The Rise of
the Swiss Republic. Compulsory Nat
ional Arbitration, by Rabbi Solomon
SCHNEIDER. The Power and Value of
Money, by Rev. M. j. Savage and Women
Wage-Earners, by Helen Campbell.
Liberal Theology and Psychical Research
are also well represented in this issue.
If the young woman whose portrait
graces the first page of Cassell's Family
Magazine for February be real live
flesh and blood young woman and not a
painting, she oughG TO De famous
beauty. Beauty she is, but for her fame
we cannot speak. as the face is new one
to us. In Parliament Assembled is the
first of series of illutrated papers. The
subtitle of this paper is Some Old Par
Elementary Hands, and the illustrations
are, some from photographs, the others
semi-caricatures. One of the most strik-
ing papers of the number is In the
United States Weather Office, which
gives number of illustrations and por-
traits. The Family Doctor this month
has A Word on Megrims, and his sound
advice is followed by paper on Mar
aueterie Wood Staining, a very pretty
and artistic accomplishment. Getting
On in Business is also a practical paper.
Students Day at the National Gallery is
capitally illustrated article which will
interest more people than those who are
regular art students. All women will be
interested in the article Fortunes in
Faces, which gives the portraits of some
famous beauties. The ladies will also
be interested in Kitchen Troubles, to say
nothing of the valuable fashion letters
from Paris and London.

The revolution in the Sandwich Islands
was foreshadowed by reports brought by
the last steamer, SO that the latest news
that the revolution has actually taken
place is not surprising. The most sig
nifcant thing in the dispatches is the
statement that all the foreign residents
except the English have recognized the
provisional government. This probably
means that the English government,
which has for long time looked with
longing eyes on Hawaii, is going to try
and take advantage of the present situa-
ton to gobble up the island. Whether
it will be advisable for the United States
to annex the islands is a question con-
corning which something can be said on
both sides. The Hon. John L. Stevens,
our minister to Hawaii, some time ago
furnished some very cogent reasons in
support of such a policy, and the Pacific
coast states which are most directly in
terested, are undoubtedly in favor of it.
One thing is perfectly clear, Lcwever.
The United States cannot afford to allow
those islands to be placed under an Eng
fish protectorate, or te permit British
influence to become dominant there; and
if the British government makes any
move in that direction it should. and I'M
doubtedly will, meet with vigorous re.
distance.

President Harrison has, it is said, de-
clared that he will select a successor to
Justice Lamar and send his name to the
Senate. It is to be hoped that there is
no mistake about this, and that the
nomination will be sent in promptly.
There is no doubt of his legal right to
make this nomination and none of his
moral right either. The Democratic
organs that are protesting that it would
be improper for the President to fill this
vacancy because he has been ''re-
pudiated" by the people uttered not
word of protest when four years
ago in the very last month of his
term after he had been t'repudiated,
Cleveland sent in a nomination for
Judge in the District of Columbia But
not only did Cleveland appoint a district
judge, but he filed great many other
vacancies which could have been left
untitled without any detriment to the
government. mo President" says Mr.
James S. Clarkson, ''kept on making APP
pointments of all kinds up to the last
minute as Cleveland did in the spring of
