THE action of the people of Hawaii in
deposing their Queen and sending repre-
sentatives to ask for anne xation to the
United States has excited intense interest
abroad. England, France and Germany
have long recognized the commercial and
strategic value of Hawii. The dethroned
Queen, who sought to overthrow the
Hawaiian Constitution and substitute au-
tocratic power for the limited monarchy
which has existed in the little i-land king
dom, is said to have been particularly sus-
ceptible to British influence. It is aoso-
luteIy certain that failure on the part OF
the United States to take advantage of the
action of the Hawaiisns will be followed
BIZ the seizure of the islands by some
European power. In all probability Eng
land would be the aggressor.

The man was greater even than his work
Looming up behind the record, cleaning

preme personality Of the generation
There was the overmastering figure whom
the thousands of his numbered friends low

counted admirers loved TO picture. Many
elements entered into that peerless indi-
viduality His unrivaled charm of man
ner, his irresistible fascination, his wonder
ful fertility and facility. his ine1haustibie
store of aneedote and Illusrration, his mar
veluus memory that never missed face or
a name or an association, his unequalled
mastery of biographical and historical de-
all TOR instant and universal service, his
quick perception and instantaneous action
mis- controversial dexterity, his genius oi
political divination, his intense spirit OF
Americanism and patriotism which EN-
bodied and typified the genuine impulse oi
rhe American people-all these qualities
blended and made up the wlnsome man
and the matchless leader.
And so now and on the morrow of his
death, the plaudits of history and the
praise of posterity seem but light and
empty thing by the bier of the man VINO
goes to his grave loved as no man OF his
day has been loved by the million. 1t Is

THE passing away of James G. Blaine
will recall to many minds the closing SEN
tences of his eulogy of Garfield. delivered
before both houses of Congress ten years
ago. Those sentences described the clos
ing scene of Garfeld's life with perfec-
ton of imagery, an eloquence Of diction
and pathos that have seldom been e1
celled in speech or epic.
Gas the end drew nesr," said the eulo-
gist, ..his old craving for the sea returned.
The stately mansion of power had been to
him the wearisome hospital Of pain, and ne
begged to be taken from its prison walls,
from its oppressive, sitting air, from its
homelessness and hopelessness. Gently,
silently. the love of great people bore the
pale sufferer to the longed-for healing OF
the sea, to live or to die, as God should
will, within sight of its heaving billows,
within sound of its manifold voices. With
wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to the
cooling breeze he looked out wistfully upon
the ocean with its changing wonders, on
its far sails whitening in the morning light,
on its restless waves rolling shoreward to
break and die beneath the MONDAY sun;on
the red clouds Of evening arching low to
the horizon; on the serene and shining
pathway of the stars. Let rs think that
his dying eyes read q mystic meaning
which only the rspt and parting soul may
know. Let us believe that in the silence
Of the receding world he heard the great
waves breaking on q further shore, and
felt already upon his wasted brow the
breath of the eternal morning.

viction of great masses of his country, who
said what they thought and who thought
what they said. In 1888, as before, he again
expressed the dominant sentiment of his
party, and sounded the keynote Of its cani-
paign; but greater work, and one trans
cending party lines, was now shaping itself
in his masterful hands.
For twelve years, from the Pan Ameri-
can Conference, which Garfield approved
and his successor hesitated to support, TO
the reciprocity treaties of the past two
years, James G.. Blaine was the first of liv-
ing Americans To see the duty and respon-
sibiity which lay upon this land to assume
the leadership Of the continent, to draw
closer the bonds OF union among it's ma.
tions, to suppress war by requiring the in.
ternational arbitration of differences, and
to promote MUTUAL trade by mutual conces-
siDns.
Ten years have bnt begun this work. In
urging il Mr.. Blaine was in advance at
many points OF his day, his party land even
his country. But here again he voiced the
dumb, inarticulate desire of millions OF
Americans who long unconsciously, but
nevertheless sincerely, 10 see this great
country exercising supreme and peaceful
lnnuence among Inc nations oil thls nemls-
phers. History will see much to record in
MIR. Blaine's career. His matchless per
sonal influence, his eloqaence. his political
prescience, his power both TO lead his party
and TO know what leadership his party de
sired, will all alike receive recognition.
The history which he added to the litera-
ture Of bis country insures him perma
nent place IN that briei list OF those who en-
joyed the double power to make history
and to write il. There will be sorrow for
his dissppointments and clear spprehen-
sion that his best friends were not those
who ci0nded his last months with false and
| interested advice. But beyond all and over
all will be praise and appreciation of the
great policy which the future will see
| triumphant, under which thil country just
l-ly claims the duties and responsibilities of
It's power and position among the nations

HIS DOGS, SULTAN AND TIRAs.
Bismarcks Stories of Two Friends Who
Were Faithful Bey ond Reproach.

In his interview with DR.. Hans
Blum, the national liberal politician,
Prince Bismarck did not confine him
self altogether to charging Caprivi
with Incompetence, Radowitz with
drunkenness, and the late Empress
Augusta with intriguing opposition,
but at the suggestion of the princess
related a few stories concerning his
two faithful friends, the late imperial
dogs, Sultan and Tiras.
Whenever went away from home, {"
said Bismarck, Sultan nosed about
everywhere for me with every evil
dence of deep sorrow. Finally, he
would always seek consolation in nv
military cap and my deerskln gloves,
which he would carry in his mouth to
my workroom and drop on the floor.
He would then lie down with his nose
on them, and would not leave them
except for meals until l came back.
"Old Tiras, too, was very intelligent
and faithful. l used 10 60 to the reich
stag through the garden behind the
chancellor's palace, and thence through
the koniggratzer strasse. AS went
out the gate into the street would
turn to Tiras, who had followed me so
far, and say simply 'Reichstag' in my
ordinary tone of voice. At once Tiras
would drop head and tail and sneak
back to the house. Once when /
started out in uniform l left my walk
ing stick just inside the garden wall.
| returned four hours later from the
reichstag, and as l entered the house
noticed that Tiras was not there as
usual to welcome me. To my inquiry
about the dogs whereabouts the
Waterman replied: He has stood for
four hours at the back garden wall
and will not let anybody go near your
excellency's walking stick At Var
Yin one day found b. the roadside a
wood-cart, which l thought had been
stolen. because the wood was green.
told Tiras to watch it while l went to
make inquiries. Nevertheless, he be-
gan to sneak after me. I turned back
and laid my glove on the cart and Ii
ras remained, watching it for more
than an hour as if he had taken root
in the ground"
