| the more Mr.. CLEVELAND dwells on the
vigor and fitness Of the language Of the Min
lister, the more obvious is IL that he had been

around him. To say that he produced the
crisis. In order 10 justify the prediction that
1.-THE golden hour is at hand" is absurd,

Tho simple and obvious fact which has
been made the basis Of vile and violent

and GRESHAM upon q United States Min
lister to Hawaii, and the best citizens OF that
country is that Mr.. STEVENS saw and re-
ported the growth of anti-monarchical
feeling. In fact the monarchy had existed
for six years on sufferance only. In 1887

What is shameful is to find q President OF
this republic describing Indignation at this
outrageous conduct OF the Queen as dis
satisfaction with form Of government not
our own," denouncing those who have freed
Hawaii from despotism. and not only
spurning their plea for annexation. but
abusing them for seeking to exchange a
barbarous and dangerous monarchy for

Challenging the Grand Jury.

On Monday an extraordinary term Of the
Court Of Oyer and Terminer was begun In
Brooklyn. under special order OF the Gov
ernor. 70 inquire into the crimes against
the election law which are alleged to have
been committed In Kings county at the re-
cent general election.
At the opening OF the court. counsel rep
resenting JOHN Y. MCKASE and certain
election inspectors OF the town OF Graves
end. applied for permission and were al
lowed TO challenge the proposed grand
Jurors as their names were drawn by the
Clerk. that is to say. to inquire into their
fitness to serve upon the Grand Jury.
This procedure Is well established by law.
although it Is only very seldom In the last
twenty-five years that grand Jurors have
been challenged In this State.
The Code Of Criminal Procedure expressly
provides that tho District Attorney on be-
half Of the people. and also any person held
To answer q charge OF crime. may challenge
an individual grand juror. The same stat
ute declares what the causes OF challenge
shall be. and prohibits any others. These
causes are six In number: First. that the
proposed grand Juror Is minor: secondly.
that he Ia an alien; thirdly, that he Is in
sane; fourthly. that he 10 the prosecutor
upon charge against the defendant; fifth
ly. that he is a witness for either party. and
therefore cannot act impartially; sixthly,
that state OF mind exists on his part. In
reference to the case or 10 either party.
which satisfies the Court, In the exercise OF a
sound discretion. that he cannot act Impar-
TALLY and without prejudice to the substan-
tial rights OF the party challenging.
IL will be observed that tho Code Of Grim
inal Procedure mentions only the District
Attorney and a person held TO answer a
charge Of crime as the parties who may
challenge an individual grand juror.
This provision, however. Is probably not
exclusive In its effect; and persons who
have reasonable cause to believe that the
Grand Jury will investigate accusations
against them would seem 10 have right OF
challenge notwithstanding the fact that
they have not yet actually been held 10 an
swer by q committing magistrate. Such
was the old law. Mr.. BISHOP, In his we'll
known treatise on criminal procedure,
deems it suficient that 1t Is In some way
known that the Grand Jury Is TO investigate
. persons conduct with reference TO bring
ing In blll OF Indictment. 70 entltle that per-
son TO interfere In the process OF organizing
a Grand Jury for the purpose Of seeing that
its members are all qualified to act.
This Is a fair rule. although Mr.. Justice

already mentioned. Besides. fthose men are
prevented from resnlistment because they
are not good enough to be privates in the
regular army. why should they be relied
upon TO become corporals and sergeants OF
The militia or Of the volunteers
As Secretary LAMONT. Gen. ScHoFIELD.
and many officers Of all grades have favored
the repeal OF this ten years law. 1t will
probably be removed from the statute
books at the present session.
A second project Of Mr.. WALTHA1b's
bill. also likely to become law. is that OF
reducing the term Of enlistment from five
years to three. This might at first seem q
radical change: but 1t would not be so.
since the present law gives to the soldier
the right 10 put an end TO his enlistment
at the end Of three years, and at the same
time allows him furlough OF three months.
II. instead Of accepting that privilege. he
fills out his regular term OF FIVE years. Sec
retary LAMONT and Gen. SCHoFIRLD favor
this change. and there seems TO be a gen.
eral sentiment In its favor. The question
whether Ave years or three is the better ls
really one for the Government to deter
mine. instead Of being made a matter OF
option for the soldier. with vacation OF
three months offered as sort Of premium
for filling out the term originally agreed
upon. An enlistment for three years would
certainly be safe and unobjectionable. what
ever the fact rs to five years. The reduc-
tion to three years proposed in tho pending
bill Is accompanied by other changes relat-
ing TO additional pay in case Of oireenlistment.
With fewer than $4,000 enlisted men on
the active list Of the army. including the
hospital and signal corps. and a population
Of 65.0O0.0o0 from which to recruit them.
there should be no difficulty In securing
full ranks Of excellent soldiers.
