BENJAMIN'S OPINION.

Mr.. Benjamin Harrison, he of his
"Grandfather's hat" reputation, and
erstwhile the whjlom president of the
United States, has opened his mouth
and spoken, receiving warrant for the
same by the precedent of that other
animal Of sacred history memory rid
den by Balaam He says he does not
desire to comment on Mr.. Cleve lands
action in regard to the queen of the
Hawaiian islands, who was so ruth
lessly snatched from her throne by
band of foreign conspirators, aided
and abetted by a company OF United
States marines. All that he of the
large hat has to say about it now,
talking through that historic hat, is
that he likes his policy better than he
does Mr.. Cleveland's, but if the wis
dom of that policy IS questioned he
will give out something to the press
upon the subject. The wisdom of his
policy is undoubtedly doubted. The
STATESMAN not only questioned its
wisdom at The time, but gave warning
that it was without due con-
sideration and was q reck-
less Inauguration of policy of
foreign entanglements in violation of
all precedent and directly opposed to
the advice given by the first and pa
triotic president of the country, pol
icy calculated to involve this country
in world of trouble. Mr.. Harrison's
policy was tad, assuming that he
acted upon the correcC information, 1t
was precipitate because he acted most
incautiously upon ex parte infoTma-
ton, and solely upon that emanating
from the conspirators. 1t now turns
out that the queen never would
have abdicated but for the
intimidating presence of the marines,
stationed Just across the street from
her palace or royal residence. This at
least is the information given the
administration by Mr.. Blount, and no
one doubts his disinterestedness aud
his ability to ascertain the truth. Mr..
Harrison goes on to repeat that sense
less CAB about a republic restoring
a monarchy. That is all the
veriest bosh. II the United States
troops or marines or sailors under
their officers without warrant OF law
or any great necessity Of civilization
were the cause compelling the queen
of the Sand wich Islands to tempora.
rily abdicate, it lie the duty of the au-
thorities OF the United States to re.
store her to her full and ample rights.
1t Is not a matter based upon any
sentiment of republic re.establishing
a monarchy, but plain question of
right and wrong, and let us do right
though the heavens fall. Mr.. Harri-
son to the contrary, Notwithstanding

THERE is no reason why the com.
mittee who have in charge the prep.
aration of the tariff bill should be in
fluenced in the least respect by the
November elections. In these cleo.
tions the questions at issue were pure.
ly local, and the elections were con-
fined to o few states. In the two
previous elections of 1890 and 1892 the
elections wer national, embracing all
the states, and the only issue was the
tariff, made distinctly more promi-
nent then it has ever been made here
tofore. The people in the two cleo
tions referred to expressed their
opinions On the tariff in overwhelm-
ing majorities, and that decision
should govern the committee rather
than a half way election on local
issues as were the November elections.
There has been no reversal of the
opinion delivered by the people in the
congressional and presidential elec-
tions, and until that reversal is rem
dered the committee should go right
ahead, lowering the tariff and reduc-
ing it to revenue basis, and it will
be in line with the voice of the peo-
Pile.

the enterprise, Alabama has made

able to manufacture pig iron as cheap

quest has been made for the resignation
Of Mayor Stansbury Wiley Of this city,
Hs supreme master of the exchequer

by Supreme Chancellor Blackwell Of
Henderson, Ky As soon as the failure

learned and that $40 900 of the Knights Of
Pythias money was in jeopardy, the su-
prome chancellor and supreme
vice chancellor came TO Will
mingtol and held conference
with the mayor. He assured them that
the funds were safe, as he had secured
them by property and other securities,
which, at fair estimate, should be worth
$4,000. The finance committee of the
supreme lodge were not satisfied how
ever, and they came to Wilmington to
investigate. They have been holding
from one to two and three meetings
day, comparing Mayor Willey's books
with those of the supreme keeper Of
records and seals. The proceedings We're
kept secret until to-day, when the
mayors refusal to resign the Office which
he has held for many years compelled the
committee to make them public. The
chancellor has called a meeting OF the
supreme council TO meet in Chicago on
June 10 and at that time Mayor
Wiley will be given his dishonorable dis
charge. A claim will be made against
Wiley and his bondsmen for the amount
deposited with Robinson II Co., which

His name is j. c. Porter. Last night he
was arrested in Rome and brought here

a salesman in the dry goods house Of

Porter he was gone.
