Blount Still Reticent.

The Hawaiians are as ignorant Of the
exact character of Commissioner Blounts
mission as they were the day he landed
at Honolulu He has neither said nor
done anything that indicates the purpose
Of this government. The ordering down
Of the American flag and the announce
mcnt that he had no authority to restore
the derosed queen to her throne are the
only things he has done and said that
have caused comment.
Something has been going on, however,
that is beginning to attract attention. It
is this: The provisional government has
been steadily strengthening itself and
is now in a better position to enforce its
authority than ever before. This con-
dtion of affairs suggests an inquiry. May
it not be the purpose of this government
to permit the establishment of a re
publican form Of government in Hawaii
and to protect it against those govern
mcuts that may be disposed to show it
hostility
All the leading men of Hawaii now seem
to he Of the opinion that the restoration
Of the monarchy is an impossibility. Paul
Neuman, the chief adviser of the de
posed queen, told her recently that the
wlsest course for her to pursue was TO
make terms with the provisional govern
ment. He pointed out to her that there
was not the remotest possibility of the
establishment of the monarchy, and that
now was her time to bargain with the
provisional government for pension.
She has not yet taken his advice, but,
judging from present indications, the adj
vice is good.
Congress did nothing with the treaty
of annexation made by the Harrison ad-
minisuation and if Commissioner Blount
should report that republic
has been established in Hawaii, that
it is fully able to take care of itself, and
that it is generally acceptable to the peo-
pie, the annexation idea might be aban-
doned altogether
There is much to be said against annex
alton, and also against protectorate,
much more, in fact than there is against
republican form of government for Ha-
wall. If republic should be established,
the United States could, doubtless, lend
it such assistance as would insure its
stability.

viii the Fair Be Open sundaysp

1t is stated quite positively that the
Chicago fair will be open on Sundays
The Chicago people want it open and it
now looks as if they would have their
way A majority of the national com
mission are opposed to opening the fair
on Sundays, but they are not to have their
way. Finding the pressure in favor of
Sunday opening too strong to resist, the
commission turned the matter over to
the exposition directors This latter
body favor Sunday opening and will take
steps to enforce their views
The plan now is to open the gates of the
fair next Sunday The fact that the
gates viii be open win not be advertised
The people will be left to find it out for
themselves, and they will not be long in
doing so.
1t is announced that some of those who
are opposed to Sunday opening viii sue
out an injunction against the fair mana
gers, claiming that under the agreement
bywhich the national government gave the
fair 81, 500, 900 in souvenir half dollars the
fair cannot be opened on Sundays The

not comply with its contract, and
hence, the fair directors are not
bound to keep their agreement
with the government. 1t seems
that of the foregoing sum the govern
ment retained $4,000 for its awards
This money, it is alleged, ought to have
gone into the worlds fair fund.
If the proposed suit is brought there is
not much reason to doubt that it will bo

will have to be tried before a Chicago
judge, who cannot help being Influenced
to some extent by the prevailing senti
ment.
Chicago has never intended that tn,
fair should be closed on Sundays if sh,
could prevent it. There are two stron!
reasons why she wants the fair opened
every day in the week. One is that if i
should not be opened on Sundays a grea
many Of her people would not have an OF
portunity to see the fair, and the other AM
more potent reason is that there would b

The dinners which Antony and Cleopatra
gave in Alexandria seem to have been almost
unrvaled for profusion. says All the Year
Round. A certain Phidas who had some
acquaintance with the chief cook. was invited
by him to come and see the sumptuous pre-
parations; and his account of what he saw
has been handed down to prosperity. In the
kitchen he admired the prodigious variety of
all things; and, seeing eight wild boars being
roasted whole before huge fires which glowed
like furnaces he naturally remarked; surely
you have large company to day."
The cook laughed at his simplicity.
No" he said covers are laid only
for twelve, but every dish must be served up
lust roasted to turn. II il is but a single
minute overdone or underdone IL Is spoiled.
Now il may be that Antony will dine this mo-
ment maybe an hour hence; he may call for
wine or begin to talk, and put II on so that
il is not one but several dinners which must
be held in readiness, since il is impossible to
know when Antony will give the order"

order that one might always be served up

Will There be a com,romisep

It is reported that the President ia Of
the opinion thlt congress can De induced
to repeal the sherman silver purchase
/ oct without making any concessions to
/ the silver men. Since his return from
/ Chicago he has had a conversation with
f several senators and representatives on
Z the silverquestion with the view Of getting
their opinions in respect to it. The
impression he has obtained from them is
that congress will not repeal the silver
purchase act without enactinE law au-
thorizing the coinage Of a certain amount
Of silver each month. and that it will not
pass a free silver coinage law.
The President is quoted as saying that
while he would like to have the silver
purchase act repealed without any pro
vision being made for the coinage Of
silver in any amount, he would greatly
prefer the Bland act to the present silver
law The Bland act called for the coin
age of not less than 100000 nor more
than 1000 900 silver dollars per month
The enactment of the Bland law would
make silver dollars much more plentiful
than they are at present, and there are
great many more of them now than are
convenient. People will not accept silver
dollars in change if they can get any
thing else.
Senators Vest, of Missouri, Butler, Of
South Carolina, and Faulkner, of West
Virginia, told the President that they
did not think congress would repeal the
silver purchase act unless provision was
made for the free coinage of silver dol
lars. All of these senators said that it
might be possible to agree upon a com
promise, and they suggested that the
coinage of silver be made free at the ratio
of 20 to l. 1t is now 16 to 1. A change in
the ratio would not be generally ac-
ceptable to silver men. The change sug-
gested, however, would give them more
for their silver than they are now getting,
but it would not make the bullion value of
a silver dollar equal to its face value. At
the present price of silver ratio of "A to
would hardly make the bullion in a sill
yer dollar worth dollar in gold.
1t is now regarded as certain that there
will be an extra session of congress in
September to settle the silver question,
and very lively session it is likely to be.
The people are now aware that something
must be done to save the country
from great financial disturbances.
In the west there is a strong demand
for free coinage of silver, but the south is
not welded to silver. There are good
reasons for saying that the southern
people would accept any settlement of the
present financial difficulty that would
give them money in greater abundance.
They might be satisfied with the repeal
Of the tax on state bank circulation.
The necessity for removing the present
uncertainty in national finances is daily
growing more imperative. 1t was to some
extent the cause of the rapid decline in
the prices of stocks and the consequent
failures in New York yesterday and the
day before. There will be more serious
financial disturbances if it does not be-
come apparent soon that this uncertainty
is to be removed at an early day.

Gov. Tillman probably expects to make
political capital out of his appointment of
Solicitor Jervey, a straight-out demo
Ocrat of the Charleston circuit, to
take charge of the prosecution of
the Denmark lynchers, in place
of Solicitor Bellinger, a Tillmanite. Be
fore an unbiased jury Solicitor Jervey
might hope to make good his words, that
he would show that the governor was an
accessory to the lynching of John Peter
son. But before a Barnweu county jury
Mr. Jervey would be at a disadvantage.
Anything that he might say would fall
on deaf ears. The people of Barnwell
have already expressed themselves in re-
gard to the lynching as approving of it,.
and forty solicitors could not convince
them thatin the lynching crime had been
committed. The governor probably did
not like the idea of having one of his po-
litical friends conduct the prosecution in
Barnwell county.

During the last few weeks the New
York police have made a vigorous war on
pool rooms. Something over 100 of them
have been closed. This wholesale closing
has made big hole in the receipts of the
telegraph companies. Tho charge to pool
rooms for furnishing Geographic returns
of the races was SIS a day, collected in
advance. Taking 100 as the number Of
pool rooms closed. it will be seen that the
telegraph people are out $500 a day.
The pool rooms usually kept open about
300 days during the year, so that the
yearly loss to the telegraph companies

for as big money-making concerns as tele-

Convict Sues a Governor.

The peculiar laws of some of the north
western states are responsible for some
anomalous situations. Thus Michigan is
feeding, clothing and doctoring a triple
murderer because, having abolished the
death penalty, she lacks authority to in
fiict adequate punishment upon him. and
the governor of Minnesota is the defend
ant in suit alleging $500 damages,
brought by a convict.
Two years ago the Minnesota legis-
lature passed a law permitting the gov
ernor to release life convicts upon their
promise to leave the state forever Short
ly after the passage of the law Thomas
O'COnnor, a life convict for homicide, who
had served sixteen years, was released
under its terms. O'Connor left the state,
according to agreement. But his wife,
who remained behind him, fell desper-
ately sick some time after, and he re-
turned to the state, at her earnest solicita-
ton, to see her before she died. Some one
informed the governor, who ordered
O'Connor arrested and reincarcerated to
serve his sentence
O'COnnor's attorney sued out writ of
habeas corpus, the case was taken to the
supreme court, and a few days ago a de
cision was rendered The court held that
the governor had no right to
act until the case had been ex-
amined by the court in which the
prisoner was tried, or by higher court.
and ordered O'Connor's release. As soon
as he was discharged O'Connor hled a
damage suit against the governor
charging false Imprisonment. SO much
for Minnesota's attempt to avoid the ex-
pense of keeping life convicts by pushing
her criminals off on her neighbors.
