LOCATING ROADS.

In surveying for railroads, canals or
water bitches the most eligible route is
invariably selected, and in the old world
the same rule is observed in laying out
the public roads but in this country
our highways are usually located with
out much regard to the surface iorma-
tion or topography, and too frequently
without regard TO distance. The wishes
OF individuals have more to do with
locating roads here than tho convent

z This Wrong!

1t is to be hoped the reports from
Washington are true, to the effect that
several leading Democratic statesmen
in the House Of Representatives and
Senate will openly oppose the unjust
pension policy OF the Administration
at the coming session OF Congress. The
condemnation Of the treatment &C
corded veterans of the wal should be
unhesitating and severe. The Secre-
tary OF the Interior started with the
deliberate intention Of reducing tho
pension rolls by fair means or foul. No
thought apparently vas given to the
iu stioa OF the case and no heed whatever
- the anxiety and suffering which fol-
lowed the first reckless order to suspend
thousands OF pensions without invests
cation. This anti-pension policy was
carried too far, and public indigna-
ton, combined with threatened legal
proceedings. resulted in q partial sur
render on the part Of Hoke Smith.
The attitude OF the present admins
tration toward the Union soldier has
been from the beginning and is now
wrong and unpatriotic In the extreme,
and Northern Democrats cannot allow
its continuance without putting them
solves on record as being in line with
Grover Cleveland and his Southern
allies on this question. The admins.
tration of the pension bureau should
be thoroughly overhaulcd by Con
gre5S.

A HALT IN THE CONSPIRACY.

Seem; to Have Been q FiascO.
It is quite apparent that the admin
istration has struck two serious rccks
in the prosecution of its policy towards
Hawaii Democrat high in official or
personal influence and public senti-
ment. The conspirators are discOn-
certed. The plot to overthrow the
rule Of decency and intelligence at
Honolulu and restore the barbarous
and licsntious queen has not worked
as smoothly a. its promoters had hoped.
With that peculiar contempt for the
rights and wishes of the people which
is n Of his characteristics, Mr.. C!eve-
land continues to keep the nation in
the dark regarding the precise nature
of the instructions given to Minister
Willis. It seems reasonably certain,
however, that Willis, when he reach
ed Hawaii, found the Provisional
Government SO firmly intrenched in
power that he did not dare attempt the
restoration Of the degraded Liliuoka-
lani until he had communicated with
his master at Washington.
The members Of the republican gov
ernment OF Hawaii are men of Amori-
can descent and American courage.
They know that an overwhelming ma
jority of the American people are
united in condemnation Of the infam-
GUS Cleveland conspiracy t. strike
down republicanism and set up q cor
rupt monarchy in the islands which
American energy and devotion have
redeemed from barbarism. They have
Of their command a considerable num-
her Of well-armed troops. They are
backed by the whole civilization and
intelligence of Hawaii; and 1t is not
likely that they would yield except to
actual force.
Under these circumstances it seems
highly probable that Willis was afraid
to assume the responsibility OF order
ing the marines of the Philadelphia
and Adams to take part in the shame
full errand OF restoring q monarchy;
He did we'll to hesitate. An actual
conflict in Honolulu, in which men
wearing the American uniform and
carrying the American flag were ar.
rayed in the cause of d~espotism against
men Of American blood, standing for the
great principles Of constitutional liberty
on which this republic is based, would
arouse the nation rs it has not been
aroused since the first gun was fired
against Fort Sumter. The taking OF q
single human life in such o conflict
would be murder; murder for which
Grover Cleveland and Walter @
Gresham would be solely responsible.
and foe which the American people
would hold them to stern account.
A shot fired against the forces OF the
Hawaiian Government would be an act
OF war on the part of the President
without authority OF Congress. and II
plain defiance of the Constitution. II
the President has not taken leave Of
tho most ordinary principles OF pru'
dence he will instruct his agent at Ha
wall to give up all attempts to restore
the monarchy. The American people
will not tolerate this demonstrations
ard outrageous conspiracy against hu
man freedom; and their representa-
tives, clothed with the power OF cen
sure and Of impeachment, will soon as
scmble at Washington. - New Yorl
