A WORD IN TIME.

A chain is no stronger than the weakest
link. newspaper no be ter than its poor
est article. lady's dress no finer than It's
cheapest part. And on this line of reason
ing the wine of California is not superior
to the most inferior quality offered for
sale. The Sonoma Republican desires
to impress upon the minds of the Mid
winter Fair committee that if concession
aires are permitted to sell ten-cent wine at
dollar bottle, the fact that they pay a
steep price for the privilege will not pre-
vent the sale of poor quality of wine
from infiicting lasting injury upon the
wine interests of the State. The Repu6-
Ecdd says:
The Midwinter Fair directors owe IL to vine-
yardists and wlnemakers OF the State to exer-
else control over the kinds and qualities OF
wines to be sold on the grounds They are
rendering California very poor service If their
only interest In this matter Is to get as much
money as possible out of this concession, re-
gardless of the wines to be supplied.

answer that the increased amount of goods

MUST PAY up.

The Uuion Pacific has accumulated a
debt of about $500. 600. 600 and admits that
it will be impossible for the receivers to
shoulder the debt without some help from
the holders of mortgages and bonds. Nat
urally the directors pitch upon the United
States as the most fitting party to make
the first sacrifice. 1t is not forgotten that
when the company needed money to CON-
plete the road with, the Government
kindly accepted second bonds in place of
first, though private capital did not want
the bonds the Government accepted. The
people will be less likely now than in 1866

panies present. A large number Of pri-
vate fortunes have been squeezed out OF
each road by methods which do not bear
close scrutiny. Both roads have. in fact,
been bankrupted by their managers
While it Is tue that the men who have
drawn their millions from the roads are
not now. so far as the Union Pacific is
concerned. In charge. the fact remains
that the financial condition of the roads is
due to kind of management that would

public demand now Is that the companies

POINTED QUESTIONS.

The questions Senator Hoar asks Presi-
dent Cleveland take somewhat the ap.
pea1ance Of basis for impeachment pro-
ceediDgs. The most trenchaut of these
questions is If the President has appointed
any person to represent the United States
at the Hawaiian Islands whose name has
not been submitted to the Senate for ad-
vice and consent. II is a matter Of record
that Commissioner Blount was so ap-
pointed and that he superseded an Ameri-
can Minister at the islands whose name
had been submitted TO the Senate and &C.
cepted by that body. The question re-
Bpecting the authority this person has
exercised is answered by the uudisputed
fact that it was through Mr.. Blount's
orders that the American flag was lowered
and American marines ordered back to
their ship. Mr.. Cleveland will reply to
these questions or he will not. If he ad-
mi.s that he invested Mr.. Blount with the
powers that person exercised In the
Islands he will without doubt state from
what source he derived what he construed
TO be bis authority to do SO. The trouble
some fact 10 the case is that on the day
when Blount was appointed tie Senate
was in session. The President cannot
Ii we leaYe the solid ground of fact for
an excursion into the fields of conjecture
1t will be easy to answer that the Presi-
dent did not submit Mr.. Blount's name to
the Senate for the reason that such a
course would have provoked inquiry as to
the policy the President proposed to pur-
sue. The President had already with
drawn from the Senate the treaty sub
mitted by his predecessor, and there was
lively interest in both parties as to the
course Mr.. Cleveland would adops. 1t is
much to be hoped that Mr.. Cleveland will
not throw himself back on his dignity and
refuse to answer On the ground that in his
opinion the information asked for would
be inconsistent with public interest. Such
an answer would raise an issue between
the Senate and the President that would
distract public attention from the business
before Congress.

THE HAWAIIAN APPEAL.

BY way Of Victoria we have news from
the Hawaiian Islands to the 4th inst On
the 25th of November the annexationists
held mass-meetiDg, which adopted reso-
lutions appealing from the President to
Congress. The Provisional Government is
apparently tolerably well informed as to
the feeling of the American people in re-
spect to the islands. Although no move
ment had been made 10 restore the Queer
there seems TO be q wide apprehensio
that there may be. Rumors are afloat al,
TO the effect that Great Britain may be j.
vited to assist in the work of restoration
In this country the Tumor of British
operation has never been seriously consid
cred. Mr. Cleveland may be stubborn.
but not rash enough for that. His party
would find some way 10 tie his hands If be
should propose such a solution of the
Hawaiian problem. The contest is now
practically removed from the islands to the
United States. The Provisional Govern
ment has nothing to apprehend from any
instructions that may reach Minister
Willis. The fact must already be apparent
to Mr.. Willis that the worst pos ssible SER
vice he can render the President W ould be
to make movement to replace the de-
posed Queen.

OUR NAVAL VISITOR.

There seems to be a prospect of visit
from one of the new ships OF Great
Britain's navy, the Royal Arthur, which
will shortly leave Esquimat for her winter
cruise along the coast of North, Central
and South America. 1t used to be the
Gu stom for he ships of the British North
Pacific squadron 10 call here on their way
south or north. and to spend week or
two at this port. The visit was pleasant
for the officers. and the food department
was able to lay in its stock of supplies
cheaper and better than they could be got
In British Columbia. But desertions from
the navy and marine corps at San Fran
cisco became so annoying that the Ad-
miralty began to object to the ships max
ing this port place of call.
The British North Pacific squadron em-
braces number Of vessels manned by a
large body of sailors and marines. 1t re-
quires considerable quantity of animal
and vegetable food and groceries TO supply
these people. The British Navy Depart
ment can buy what 1t wants here, of better
quality and at lower price than it can
get it anywhere else along the coast. But
cheaply and we'll as we can supply the
goods. the Admiralty can hardly be ex-
pecte6 to trade with us il they are in
danger Of suffering by wholesale deser-
tions. Yet how we can prevent desertion
is hardly apparent.
The Royal Arthur is the finest foreign
cruiser tnat has ever visited this port.
Her displacement is ZOO tons, her length
being 500 feet by a beam of 81. She is
supposed TO cover 81 knots in an hour.
which would probably simmer down to
about IL on cruise. She is what is called
a protected cruiser; that Is to say. she has
a protective deck over her machinery,
magazines, ETC., covered with 5-inch steel
plates. Der armament Is powerful. Be-
sides seventeen small Quick-fring guns
which are scattered all over the ship and
throw projectiles of three to six pound
her main battery consists of twelve 6-inch
guns which are distributed through the
main deck. the upper deck and the fore
castle and one 9-inch gun, which is
mounted swivelwise on the poop and can
be fred on either broadside or as a stern
chaser.
Undoubtedly she is good ship, but the
Olympia. more than 1000 tons smaller. has
shown a higher speed and carries an
equally formidable battery; while the
Monterey. which is now receiving her
completing touches, would knock her to
pieces in short order. just at present.
however. We have nothing in this port act
uallv ready for service equal to the Royal
Arthur, and she would be a welcome vis-
itor as a specimen of what Britis dock
yards can turn out.
