The decision that the funeral of James
@. Blaine is to be but partially public
can be accepted only as a national mis-
fortune.
The right of the bereaved family to
decide matters of this character or the
%sacredness of their judgment in yield
ing to Mr.. Blaine's own wishes on this
subject need not be questioned in any
protest which the public may make.
But dear as were Mr.. Blaine's
home ties and universally respec-
ted as the grief of the family
must be it is nevertheless true that no
one in public or private life was so
generally or widely known and loved as
was the dead statesman. 1t was his
peculiar fortune to possess those traits
of character that at once changed ac-
workmanship into personal friendship.
All who knew him loved and honored
him, and so long has he been the COM
handing figure in the nation that even
the most lowly feel a personal loss in
his death.
He was essentially q man of the peo-
pie, and was honored as the great com
o of America. 1t is only right and
fitting that the people whom he loved
and who loved him should be allowed to
participate in his funeral, and show the
last mark of honor which now lies in
their power.
The nation grieves for its f~avorite son.
1t should be permitted to express that
grief as only a nation can by public
ceremonies.

The proposition TO annex the little
kingdom of Hawaii to the United States
seems to be one that has got TO be con
sidered and decided by the authorities
at Washington at once.
There Is not a Very strong argument
in favor of taking the country, so far as
it has been revealed. 1t is not pros
porous, it has not a desirable popula-
ton, it has not the possibility of a future
Of much Importance.
If the United States was q military
nation there would be some reason in
wishing TO control the Sandwich Islands.
If the United States controlled the COM
merce of the Pacific there would be
very good reasons for wishing to have
the mid Pacific harbor of Honolulu.
This latter reason is entitled TO serious
consideration now. Though there is
not much prospect that the incoming adj
ministration will do much to promote
our ascendency on the seas, there is the
hope ever rising in the mind of the
patriot that the country will one day
resume her sway on the oceans. Those
who indulge this hope have a good ar
gument in favor of annexation.
1t must be borne in mind always that
the annexation of Hawaii would be the
first step in the line of a policy Of ac-
QUESTION of territory that is not only
novel but distinctly in opposition to the
very groundwork Of our national policy,
as revealed by history. This does not
necessarily imply that such a policy
would be altogether unwise. 1t sug-
gests that there should be no haste, but
the most careful deliberation. The
pros and cons ought to be most carefully
examined and weighed.

HAWAII.
From the NEWS OF Dec. 1.

From the News Of Dec. 1.
1.-THE question of annexation of Hawaii,
or the establishment of a protectorate
over it should ever come up. it should be
settled upon its merits and discussed
from n strictly non-partisan standpoint.
There ought to be no politics in it.
There are strong arguments that can
be employed in favor of the annexation
OF these islands. They are essentially "A
province of the United States now, SO
far as their commercial and social con-
dition is concerned. Nine-tentns OF their

00O people on the islands in 1884, the last
census figures at hand, there were so. SIS.
aud les than half were natives. The race
seems TO be doomed TO extinction. Two
thirds OF the womea are barren. and the
other third have but few children and
seem to lack maternal instinct. To lake
the place of the natives the Chinese are
focking to the islands in great numbers,
there being $4,000 of them there in 1884,
well toward a half Of the entire foreign
population, and more than one-ifth OF
the whole. There are many Portuguese
also. with smaller nu nbers OF Ameri-
cans, Germans and English, in the order
named.
The people are good tempered, light
hearted, pleasure loving. They have
been addicted to those vices that tend to

Salute the new born day.
I've stood upon his furrowed cheek.
And seen the misty cloud
Conceal n landscape far and wide,
Beneath n vapory shroud,
I've gazed upon this matchless scene
Enchanted by the view,
And watched reclining nature smile,
Beneath the evenings dew.
And underneath this towering mount.

RUMORs OF A

The rumors regarding the supposed
attempt of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad company to OBJ
tain control of the Old Colony and New
York and New England excite great in
terest in this city, which is rather more
concerned than any point likely to be
affected.
AT present it cannot be said with any
confidence that there will be a deal, but
there is considerable what is called con-
tributory evidence that something of
special interest TO this city in the wind.
IL has been believed here that the
Consolidated would eventually absorb
the Old Colony, if it could not arrange
to secure the Providence and Boston
branch without taking the whole sys-
tenn, ever since it gobbled up the Ston-
ington and the Worcester lines.
1t has for some time been believed, also.
that the New England system would
fall to the Consolidated as soon as it be-
came evident that the stock could not
be further depressed.
What is to be will happen. That's
about all this city knows of what is in
store for it in the way of railroad facili-
ties

A WORD OF CAUTION.

In the midst Of n general business
prosperity there are indications that
underneath the commercial fabric lie
conditions which need the most careful
consideration, and that too great eau
ton cannot now be exercised by those
who look not only to the present but to
the future.
Speculative unrest shows itself most
plainly in the transactions of the ex-
change and the board of trade. During
the month just closing these tranactions
have been almost wholly confined to the
industrials-a class of securities whose
estimated value is guesswork and whose
manipulation is in the hands of irrespon-
sible cliques. The public know this and
yet it is conservative to say that trading
in them has equalled at least two-thirds
of the total stock business of the coun-
try. This fact is a cumulative result of
experience. The largest and most
conservative investors have learned
to expect very little if any re-
medal legislation from congress.
The country's prosperity for the past
two years has furnished an incentive TO
widespread investments until the ability
of industry to make large dividends has
been fully capitalized. On the other
hand, by the large issue of a fictitious
currency the power of the country to
pay has been turned into a circulating
medium.
Meanwhile the m productions
of agriculture in all departments, ex-
cept that of cotton, have overstocked the
market and temporarily reduced the
prices of cereals so far as to curtail the
purchasing power Of. the great farming
classes of the West to a point far below
what was anticipated. Add to these
the severity of the winter, which has
caused great delays in all traffic in the
West and increased the operating ex-
penses of all railroads by many millions
of dollars, and the array of existing
conditions is not as encouraging as
could be wished.
Conjecture cannot predict the end of
this unrest that is based on natural ex-
listing causes. Whether it will confne
itself to industrials or whether it will
spread out and include other classes of
investing securities and business in gen.
eral it is not now possible to fortell. In
either case, however, it will be well 70
remember that speculative unrest rarely
leads to conservatism, but rather to that
excess which ends only in financial ex-
haustion.

A CERTAIN women's society of name
too long TO mention is making war on
children's toys on the ground that they
inculcate false scientific principles. A
fragrant example is the toy steam engine,
and the walls of the society's wrath are
poured upon it because it goes by clock
work while pretending to go by steam.
For this attempt to abuse the child's
scientific conceptions it must go. Just
what "A 4-year-old child wants of science

A GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR
BUSINESS

The session of the General Assembly
which opens tomorrow will have before
it business of more importance and of
more varied character than that which
has awaited the action of any previous
session for many years.
IL should be scarcely necessary 70 trv
10 impress upon the state legislators the
necessity Of dealing with these issues IN
a broad-minded and at the same time
rapid manner.
There are reasons TO hope that in
many respects this General Assembly
will improve upon its predecessors in
these respects. First, because i'm the
recent elections the people were asked not
only toapprove the two distinct questions
of a new state house and a new corpo.
ration act, but 10y indicating their favor
Of these specific improvements the citi
zens made a most emphatic stand for
progress in general. The widespread
enthusiasm over the state house means
a new order Of things. Ii means that
the taxpayers are not afraid Of an ex.
pense provided the return is common
surate with the outlay. What they
have indicated in regard to the state
house they will approve in ether needed
reforms.
