Blount to report a state of facts
that would fit this allegation, so
that the administration might have

shabby monarch, and for the fur
ther purpose of carrying out the

verse tho Hawaiian policy of its Re-
publican predecessor.
To accomplish Its obiebt the
Cleveland administration is ready
to let go an advantage in the Pa
cific which the Hawaiians desired
us to accept and to which no other
power objected-a step to which the
diplomacy of this country, whether
under Republican or Democratic

to for half century. The admin.

What a SLAUGHTER I

What a slaughter of presidential
timber the Democrats have suffered.
Neal has gone down under $4,000
plurality, and the "favorite sons
of Ohio on the Democratic side arr
all wiped out.
Hill has been as badly showed
under in New York, and to make
it worse for him his machine is
smashed to flinders. Flower is in
the same wreck. The Russells are
as so many gone coon skins in
Massachusetts. Pennsylvania has
buried Pattison under 10000.
Iowa blights the blooming Boies
with something like 100000. Anar-
chist Altgeld's goose is cooked IN
Illinois.

MCKjnlev'S Plurality.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. l3. Based
on full official returns from all ex-
cept eight counties, and the plural
tiles of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties in the eight, the Pro

the following totals are figured out:

McKinlev's vote was l6,S00 over

The Hawaiian Business.

Mr.. John l.. Stevens, minister to
Hawaii under President Harrison
was at Honolulu at the time when
the corrupt little monarchy was
overthrown and Queen Lilioukalani
dropped back into private life as
Mrs. John o. Dominis. The five
men were there who afterwards
came to Washington as commits
sioners of the Hawaiian provisional
government. Among these COM
missioners was Mr.. Thurston, now
Hawaiian minister at Washington.
Captain WIlste, commander of the
Boston, now deceased, was there.
Every man of them told the same
story about the overthrow of the
monarchy and the setting up Of the
provisional government.
President Cleveland sent as "my
special commissioner" Mr.. Blount,
to see what sort of case he could
make against the provisional gov
ernment, to Giscredit the statements
of Minister Stevens, Captain Wilste,
the Hawaiian commissioner and
the Hawaiian minister, and to do
his best to furnish a pretext for re-
versing the policy of the HarrisoL
administration.
Mr.. Blount, who saw nothing of
the incident of the change IN the
form of government, is accepted by
the Cleveland administration as a
better witness than men of no less
character than himself who were on
the spot and eyewitnesses to all the
public proceedings.
1t is too late in the day to contro-
vert the essential fact that the cap
tain of the Boston, acting under in
struction from the minister of the
United States, landed his men for
the sole purpose of protecting life
and property, not in any way to as
sist the revolution.
The contention of the Cleveland
administration is, that the armed
forces of the United States were re-
sponsible for the overthrow of the |

The Teachers Institute,

The annual session of the Garrett
county Teachers Institute was held
in the public school building, Oak.
land, Nov. 9th and 10th. There
were present Prof. Prettyman, Su-
perlntendent of public schools; DR..
Houck, Deputy State Superinten.
dent of Pennsylvania; Prof. E. G..
Welmer, examiner for Alleganv
county, and VIM. Hinebaugh, ESQ.
examiner for Garrett county.
The Institute met at 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning with Prof. Pret-
lyman in the chair and was opened
by singing, "Work, for the Night
is Coming" conducted by Miss
Weber. The board of education,
teachers and visitors were cordially
welcomed in a short but very inter
esting address by Examiner Hlne-
baugh.
The program for the morning
was dispensed with and Prof. Houck
was introduced and spoke in his
usual happy style for nearly an
hour saying many encouraging
things to teachers. He was fol.
lowed by DR.. Prettyman in a short
speech and the Institute adjourned
to meet at 1.30 p. m.
The afternoon session was opened
with the song, "The old School
house on the Hill" rendered in fine
style by DR.. Houck leading. The
roll Was called and fifty-two teach
ers answered present.
The question for the afternoon,
"What is the relation of the teach
er's work to the development of
character in his pupils" was intro
duced by Prof. Sanner. A general
and spirited discussion followed,
participated in by Rev. Henry
Hamill, Prof. Lee and many others
and was concluded by DR.. Pretty
man in most earnest and eloquent
manner. Adjourned to meet at 9
o'clock Friday morning.
Friday morning greeted US with
bright sunshine, a genial atmos-
phere, the bright and cheerful
faces Of G7 teachers and the pres
ence of our distinguished educators

Mud Road EnRineerinR.

Some of the State Universities
are establishing, as IL part of their
curriculum, IA department of Road
Engineering.
The object is to teach-not how
to make railroad, but mud road.
From time inmemorlal we have
mad railroad engineers, and schools
for making railroad engineers, but
1t is new thing to found school
for making mud road engineers.
Nevertheless mud-road engineers
are as important as railroad engi-
neers. An ignoramus can come
about as near making good rail-
road as II good mud-road. There
are railroad engineers who pass as
skillful in their departments who
have not skill enough to make a
mnd-road.
Neither is it possible to convince
the average taxpayer that it re-
quircs good engineer to make a
g pod mud road. lie thinks any
b,ly can do it. And the fact is he
d mt know II good road when he
es 1t.
Moreover, it is impossible to con
vlnce the average tax payer that a
ead road costs more than good
road. That bad road is, in fact.
the most costly public work a peo-
ple can have.
Our people-our intelligent farm
ers-would oppose any proposition
to employ a skilled engineer to make
or improve our roads on the ground
that it would be an unnecessary ex-
pendlture of money!
They actually believe that a
"Road Supervisor" at $3.50 per
day is cheaper than an Engineer at
any price!
They actually believe that the
work which is done under the "Su-
pervisor" and washed out by the
following rain is cheaper than ;he
repairs made by an engineer which
last whole year or more!
Well, so long as the people who
are most interested in good roads,
have this kind of ideas, there is not
much prospect of improvement.

workingmen's petition to Congress
to spare the protective tariff and re-
store work and wages. The prayer
ia Is upon deaf ears and unrespon-
slve hearts. The work of tariff de-
struction, If labor destruction, of
wage destruction, goes on before Il
Democratic committee, while the
hungry millions plead in vain,
Give Us our daily bread.
